Chapter 8: The Holy Fruit of the Vatia
For some reason, Isha felt that she should trust the person in front of her, it was a gut feeling. Like, she didn't believe that Ling Xiao would be rude to Xie Xiaoyan, she felt that Ling Xiao was a credible person. If it were a different person, I am afraid that he would not answer Ling Xiao's question at all, and even think that Ling Xiao had bad intentions, because it can be said that in the entire Blue Moon Empire, no one else can know more about medicinal materials than Isha's family.
Isa's family is the largest herb merchant in the Blue Moon Empire!
However, Isha is just a very introverted and shy little girl in the Imperial Academy, and almost no one knows her identity, so, after thinking for a moment, Isha raised her head and said: "Vatia Holy Fruit is produced in the Vatia Snow Mountain located at the junction of the Blue Moon Empire and the Zichuan Empire, and the Vatia Snow Mountain is also known as the Holy Mountain, because its height reaches into ......the sky, it is almost the highest peak of the Canglan Continent! And the dragon, it's a ninth-order magical beast that can transform into a human form!" Isha said this, and her voice was not loud, but it was very beautiful.
Ling Xiao could see that Isha liked to study plants and animals very much, otherwise how could a girl be proficient in these things?
When Isha said this, she seemed to have forgotten her shyness, and then said: "The one who cares for the Vatia Holy Fruit is a flying magical beast called the Snow Mountain Lightning Falcon, whose strength belongs to the third-order magical beast, which is similar to the great swordsman of the human race, but even the mad swordsman is unwilling to encounter this kind of flying magical beast, the Snow Mountain Lightning Falcon flies extremely fast! The attack method is fierce, and most importantly, they are a very vengeful magical beast!"
At that time, there was a senior in Isha's family who picked the Vatia holy fruit, and he also accidentally discovered this fruit, as a person from a family of medicinal herbs, of course, he could see the preciousness of this fruit at a glance, and collected two pieces at the moment.
But he didn't expect to anger the guardian beast of the Vatia Holy Fruit, the Snow Mountain Lightning Falcon, the family predecessor of the fifth-order mad sword master, after getting the Vatia Holy Fruit, was chased by the Snow Mountain Lightning Falcon for thousands of miles, as long as it fought back, it would fly high, you run, it will sneak up on you.
After returning to the family, the senior was so angry that he immediately fell ill, and then the whole person collapsed, and he died of emaciation not long after, and he brought back the two Vatican Holy Fruits, and cultivated two magic swordsmen for Isha's family!
Later, the snow-capped lightning falcon hovered over the territory of the Isa family for more than ten days, probably because it felt that the enemy's breath was gone, and flew away.
In short, the martial artists on the Canglan Continent would rather fight against someone who is one level higher than themselves than face a flying demonic beast that is two levels lower than themselves. Of course, if you can cultivate to the Demon Sword Master and have the ability to fly, maybe you won't be so powerless against the flying Demon Beast. But looking at the entire Canglan Continent, how many people have the cultivation of a demon sword master?
"You...... Could it be that he wants to find the Vatia Holy Fruit, right?" Isha seemed to become shy again, and said softly, thinking in his heart that Ling Xiao should be trying to improve his strength, and he was ashamed of himself......! Thinking of this, Isha blushed and said, "Actually, your meridians are not impassable, it's just that that method is not very good." ”
Ling Xiao glanced at the easily shy girl suspiciously, and then said, "Oh, is there any other way?
Isha glanced left and right, there were not many people in the library, and many people wanted to stay away when they saw Ling Xiao, where would they come forward. Only then did he whisper: "The method is a bit stupid, it's just ...... Use a variety of herbs to soak ...... Soak the body, take a bath for an hour every day, need, need to soak for a month, because many medicinal herbs are very domineering, so, the process of bathing will experience a lot of pain, if the willpower is not enough...... Yes, it will die. Isha was also a little deflated after speaking.
This method has actually been known for a long time, but almost no one will try it, first of all, there are not many people in the continent, and secondly, although the mainland is still martial, but for many people, it is also a very good thing to be able to cultivate to the sixth-order swordsman, at least they can have a place in the mercenary team, even if they can't cultivate the sixth-order swordsman, they can also choose to be a businessman and other professions, and they can't gamble with their lives. In the end, even if there are occasional celestial veins who want to gamble, they don't have the financial resources! The bath in Isha's mouth is not for everyone, and the medicinal materials needed in it are not lacking in some elixirs that are hundreds or even thousands of years old, where can ordinary people afford.
Ling Xiao chuckled lightly and said, "Well, there's no need for this for the time being. "Ling Xiao is not a person who is afraid of pain, and the process of taking Zhuji Dan Zhuji will not be much more pleasant. If you want to do it once and for all, Tsukidan is the most effective way, as for Isha's so-called soaking her body with medicinal herbs, Ling Xiao doesn't think it will be more effective than Tsukidan.
"Then let's talk about the heart of the earth dragon and the appearance of that caryophyllus. "Isha is very obsessed with the plants and animals on the mainland, in fact, she is also very specialized, and she takes academic issues extremely seriously, so she is very curious about these medicinal materials that Ling Xiao said, she doesn't know where Ling Xiao got this strange name, but she didn't ask this, after all, everyone has their own **.
"Well, the heart of the earth dragon belongs to the perennial herbaceous plant. The stems are erect, single, and resemble a dragon snake in shape. The palmate compound leaves are whorled at the end of the stem, and the ten-year-old is L with three compound leaves. Twenty-year-old has one five-out compound leaf, and then increases by one every ten years. 40~60 years old, with 3~5 five-out compound leaves, long petioles. Umbel inflorescences apical, small, pale yellowish-green. The fruit is oblate and spherical, bright red when ripe, and is born in the deep mountains and damp forests. Ling Xiao recounted with his own memory, speaking of which, back then, every person in the cultivation realm had to know more about medical theory and medicinal materials than those in the secular world who claimed to be divine doctors.
Isha frowned, she knew that what Ling Xiao said was detailed enough, even if the information recorded in her family's pharmacopoeia was nothing more than that, but why did she feel so unfamiliar? Could it be that there were really medicinal herbs that she had never heard of? Earth Dragon Heart...... Listening to the name, this is a very high-grade medicinal material. After thinking about it for a long time, Isha still shook her head and said: "There are many rhizome-based medicinal materials on the mainland, and there are many very famous ones, but I really haven't heard of what you said, it's so strange, why haven't I heard of it?"
Although Isha was a little disappointed, she was more excited in her heart, it seems that what Grandpa said is right: there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky. There are so many mysteries in this world that you don't know!
Ling Xiao smiled, and was not too disappointed, after all, he belonged to a different world, as long as he searched for it with his heart, maybe he could find it, since this world has purple and blue vermilion fruits, then the heart of the earth dragon should also be there! If it really doesn't work, just use the method that Isha said, death? Ling Xiao is a person who has died once, as a cultivator, death is just starting from scratch, there is nothing to be afraid of.
"Let's talk about the caryophyllum grass, what does that look like?" Isha looked at Ling Xiao expectantly, at this moment she finally knew that there were people outside the world, she originally thought that her understanding of the herbs on the mainland was unmatched among her peers, and she didn't expect that any young master of the general's family could know so much that she had never heard of.
"Caryophyllus, a perennial herb. The stems are clustered, about half a meter high, erect or creeping at the base, and the nodes are enlarged. Leaves linear-lanceolate, about one finger long, one finger wide, apex acuminate, base narrowly inflorescence, small bracts 4 to 6, broadly ovate, apex caudate-acuminate, about half the length of the sepal tube, calyx cylindrical, apex 5-lobed, petals bright red, white, pink, with irregular shallow serrations at the margins, throat with markings or sparse hairs. The capsule is wrapped in the calyx. The seeds are oblate-ovate, grayish-black, with narrow wings on the edges, and mostly grow in the vast grasslands, which are inconspicuous and not easy to find. ”
Ling Xiao remembered the experience of searching for caryophyllum grass in his previous life, and it took him several years to almost turn over an endless grassland in the cultivation realm before finding it. Finding the materials that Tsukidan needs for himself is something that every inner disciple must do, and this is also a kind of experience.
To say that Isha respected Ling Xiao just now, but now she has become a little admired him, God, to say it in such detail, it is obviously not for his own amusement, but he only knows one of the three medicinal herbs! How did Ling Xiao know this? This is also a little, too amazing, right?
Isha blushed and shook her head, she was a little shocked, but she glanced at the flora in Ling Xiao's hand, and said softly: "Ling, Ling Xiao, what you said, there is no flora, really, I can almost memorize it, there must be no such medicinal materials you are looking for." ”
Ling Xiao had a good impression of Isa, this shy girl was actually quite magical, at least, she could know one of the three foundation-building medicinal materials, which was already amazing, thinking about it, she chuckled and said, "That, thank you! He put the books back on the shelves and prepared to leave.
"You, are you leaving?" Leng Ding met someone who could have unique insights in medicinal materials, and Isha suddenly had a desire to communicate with Ling Xiao more.
In fact, Isha is very beautiful, and she was also ranked on the list of beauties by good people in the Imperial Academy, but few people can communicate with her, let alone pursue her, just because this girl is too shy, let alone a different surname, and there are few friends with surnames. If it weren't for the coincidence, it would be impossible for her to say so much to Ling Xiao, and what she said today was even more than the sum of what she had talked to with her male classmates in the Imperial Academy in the past few years.
"Since I don't have what I'm looking for, why should I stay?" Ling Xiao said indifferently.
"That'...... Are you going to look for these kinds of medicinal materials?" Isha mentioned the medicinal herbs, her demeanor returned to normal, and she spoke a lot more neatly: "Can you, take me with you when you are looking for it?" Seeing Ling Xiaohu looking at her suspiciously, Isa's snow-white neck turned pink: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to see these plants, don't worry, I, I have the ability to protect myself! I'm a fourth-order swordsman......" said something and thought of something, and his voice was like a mosquito: "I'm sorry, I didn't, I didn't mean to look down on you." ”
Ling Xiao couldn't help but be amused by her, and said, "Didn't you say that the place where the Vatia Holy Fruit grows is extremely dangerous? Even if you are a fourth-order sword master, it won't be of any use, right?"
Isha was silent, and then plucked up the courage to say: "My grandfather said that in dealing with the unknown, you must have a heart for exploration and a strong desire for knowledge in order to make progress!
Ling Xiao laughed, she was really an interesting little girl, nodded and said, "Since you are not afraid, I will inform you when I leave." ”
"One...... It's a word!" Isha watched Ling Xiao's back disappear into his sight, but suddenly reacted, he didn't know how to find himself at all!
"Damn...... He's dealing with me. Isha frowned slightly, puffed up her pink cheeks, thought angrily, and said in her heart: "Don't want to leave me, I must know what those kinds of medicinal materials are like, if I find a new kind of medicinal materials, what reward will grandpa give me?"
