Chapter 95: Gathering Materials
There were no more people on the periphery of the Elixir Mountain, and it seemed that not only did they look down on these low-level elixirs, but most of the other monks also looked down on them.
Lin Chen took out the two lists that Sun Zhengyang gave him and looked at them, and everyone else also gathered around.
"Most of these are high-grade elixirs, and they must not be found on the periphery, so let's remember the names and characteristics of these elixirs and take a look inside."
For elixirs, Xing Tong and Nangong Han knew more, only one or two of the materials listed on these two lists did not know each other, and Lin Chen could recognize less than half.
The peripheral high-grade elixirs were already very rare, and even if they did, they had been looted many times, and they couldn't take their turn at all.
A few people could only look for it in the depths, paying attention to it while walking, there were indeed a lot of elixirs in the Elixir Mountain, even if they could be seen everywhere in the periphery, but the quality of the periphery was not too high.
The quality of the elixir is determined by the grade of the elixir, which is the decisive factor, in addition, there is another point is the growth period, the same grade of the elixir is too short to grow for too short time, generally speaking, the longer the life, the higher the quality, but the time is too long, each elixir has a growth cycle, once the growth cycle is not picked in time, the spirit will gradually be lost until it withers, and the withered elixir has no value.
Generally speaking, the higher the grade of the elixir growth cycle, the longer the growth cycle, the lowest grade elixir may be half a year to the picking period, but the growth cycle of the high-grade elixir is very long, like the thousand-year-old spirit ginseng, the thousand-year-old lingzhi and the like, and some spirit fruits take a long time to blossom and bear fruit, and some spirit fruits take a long time from fruiting to maturity, which is also an important reason for the scarcity of high-grade elixirs.
Elixir is also different from ordinary vegetation, if you don't recognize the elixir, there are many ways to distinguish the elixir, for the practitioner, the elixir is easy to distinguish, the elixir has more spirituality than ordinary plants, ordinary people can't see it, if the practitioner is close to the elixir within a certain range, you can feel the spirituality of the elixir, and the higher the grade of the elixir, the stronger the spirituality, the wider the range that can be felt.
The quality of the elixir is also divided into nine grades, from one to nine, and there are immortals and gods above the nine grades, but those are all legendary elixirs, not to mention this elixir mountain, there are few in the entire continent.
Like some exotic flowers and plants in the deep mountains and old forests, many of them are not even a grade of elixir, but the medicinal value is higher, and they also absorb some spiritual energy, but the kundalini content is not too high.
Therefore, if there is a high-grade elixir around, as long as Lin Chen and a few people pay attention to it, they can feel it.
Of course, this method of distinguishing the elixir is only for the growing elixir, and the elixir will only exude spirituality when it grows, and once it is picked, the spirituality will gradually become introverted.
And the spirit beast has a stronger sense of the elixir, because they all belong to the spiritual things between heaven and earth, and the spirit beast can improve its ability by absorbing the spiritual power of the elixir, so the high-level elixir has a great attraction to the spirit beast.
In addition, if the spirituality of the elixir is strong enough, it can even affect nearby life, for example, the elixir that reaches more than 1,000 years or even 10,000 years will exude a strong spirituality, which will attract some surrounding animals to approach, even if it is just an ordinary animal, after being affected by the elixir for a long time, it is possible to slowly open the spiritual intelligence and become a spirit beast, so generally high-level elixirs will be guarded by spirit beasts, and because of this, in a place like the elixir mountain, which is full of natural and earthly treasures, the number of spirit beasts will not be small.
Divine beasts like Xiao Jin are more sensitive to spiritual objects, which is why Xiao Jin can easily find spiritual fruits in the deep mountains and old forests.

"These... Don't want it yet? ”
When they were on the periphery, most of them were first-grade or some low-grade elixirs without grade, and as they went deeper, they gradually began to appear second-grade, and even occasionally saw third-grade elixirs, seeing that a few people still didn't mean to stop, Luo Yu couldn't help it.
If it was in normal times, Luo Yu didn't look down on such a low-level elixir, but recently his hands were really tight, he spent too many spirit stones to buy extraterrestrial meteorite last time, and the amount of refining consumables was also relatively large, so that he fully realized the importance of money, low-grade elixirs are also money, and the price of high-grade elixirs in the market is not cheap, and many of the elixirs sold in the elixir shops are not of high grade, like the elixirs of the second and third grades are very expensive, and the elixirs of high grades are basically difficult to buy.
Xingtong said: "We have limited time, so we will gather the materials we need first. ”
The most important purpose of their coming here is to collect the materials on the list, which are all rare spiritual materials, and the lowest grade of the main materials is also above the third grade, which is difficult to find in the periphery.
Moreover, Sun Zhengyang promised to refine a wall-breaking pill for each of them, and they needed to collect a total of five materials for the wall-breaking pill, and some auxiliary materials could still be spent on the market to buy, but the main materials were difficult to buy, and even if they were sold, they were extremely expensive.
In addition to the materials of the Broken Wall Pill, they also had to help Sun Zhengyang collect the materials, and the task of this trip was not small, and they had to collect all the materials within three days.
Luo Yu also knew the main purpose of their trip, so he didn't say anything, but he still picked some elixir on the way.
As they went deeper, gradually, several people also encountered the figures of some cultivators.
Most of the monks who came to look for medicine were in groups, many of them traveled in groups, and the more people there were, the more security there was, like Lin Chen's group of five people compared to other teams, the number of people was not small, but it was not much.
The arrival of the five people also attracted their attention, and their eyes looked at the five people intentionally or unintentionally, but the five people did not have the slightest nervousness, and they also turned a blind eye to those eyes.
Seeing that the five people came from the periphery, they should have just come in, and they must not have gained anything, and even if they have gained, they are all low-level elixirs, so no one has the idea of beating the five.
In this area, more than three grades of elixir could already be seen, but the five of them still did not stay and continued to walk deeper.
The further they went, the more likely they were to encounter the monk, and the five of them slowed down, collecting materials while continuing to walk deeper.
Although the elixir mountain is big, there are a lot of people who come in to hunt for treasures, and it is basically impossible to avoid all the treasure hunting teams, but they just came in and don't want to make trouble, just look for medicine, but not causing trouble does not mean that they are afraid of things, if someone dares to provoke this matter, then they don't mind being a robber, they also wish that there would be an eyeless guy to come to touch the head, after all, it is more efficient to grab resources directly from other people than to work hard to find them.
On the first day, two-thirds of the materials needed for the Broken Wall Pill were collected, but the main materials had not yet been collected, and only two of the five materials needed by Sun Zhengyang had been found.
During this period, I also encountered some guardian spirit beasts, but they were not too strong, and they were easily solved by the five people.
Xing Tong took the list from Lin Chen's hand and counted the materials that had not yet been collected.
"The rest are some high-level elixirs, the difficulty of collecting them will be greatly increased, and there may be some dangers, everyone should be careful and not act blindly."
