Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Impermanence of Life and Death is Strange in the Cave
Cao Xiu was very satisfied with today's trip, not only saw the prosperity of Qingyun City, but also got a two-hundred-year-old soul nourishing grass.
Looking at the Fang Market in front of him, although he still had some unfinished thoughts in his heart, he had already attracted a lot of attention after making the movement just now.
Especially after a few monks saw the valuable soul nourishing grass in his hand, the appearance of those eyes shining made his heart tighten.
Although you are not afraid of being robbed in the city, you don't have so many scruples when you go out of the city.
He doesn't want to be targeted!
So he hurriedly pulled Chen Shi and left quickly, and there were people coming and going on the street, even if someone moved some thoughts, it was not easy to chase them directly.
After the two left the market, they went around and didn't find anyone following, so they returned to the inn.
chatting with Chen Shi for a while, listening to this guy's nagging for a while, his words were full of persuasion to persuade him not to spend money so lavishly in the future, and to move hundreds of spirit stones, where is there such a deep family foundation for him to squander?
Although Cao Xiu knew that he had good intentions, he really couldn't listen to him continue to nag, so he sent him back early, closed the door and entered the cave.
However, he didn't just plant the Soul Nourishing Grass on the hill.
Because the main reason why the elixir of soul nourishing grass is rare is not how high the concentration of spiritual energy is in the place where it grows, but that most of these elixirs live in places with rich dead qi and absorb negative spiritual power to grow.
If someone else gets this soul nourishing grass, although it is a pity that it is only about two hundred years old, they will not easily try to continue planting.
Because no matter whether it is a sect or a large or small family, they basically build their stations in the place where the spiritual veins gather.
And such places are often vigorous, not only beneficial to cultivation, but also suitable for the survival of most elixirs, but only not suitable for the rare elixir of soul nourishing grass.
But Cao Xiu is different, although his spiritual power in the Cave Heaven World is almost cut off and the spiritual veins have collapsed, there is one benefit, that is, there is no shortage of dead energy!
Except for the small hill in the core of the huge cave world, the rest of the world was occupied by dead air.
And this is exactly what the Soul Nourishing Grass needs!
So Cao Xiu cautiously came to the edge of the hill and released the pure yang true yuan in his body, forming a defense to protect the whole body, resisting the death qi, and at the same time, he quickly dug a pit and planted the soul nourishing grass.
Although the process was not long, Cao Xiu still felt a little uncomfortable.
It was really that the Pure Yang True Yuan in his body was too weak compared to the almost infinite dead qi outside, but after a moment of contact, it actually consumed nearly half of the True Yuan in his body.
Fortunately, it has been planted in good condition.
Then Cao Xiu took a drop of water of life and irrigated it.
He estimated that it should be the same as giving birth to other elixirs, and there should be no change in a short period of time, so he turned around and went to the hill, picked a candle spirit fruit and ate it deliciously.
This is a kind of fire spirit fruit, which is actually more suitable for monks who have cultivated methods such as fire poison.
Because there is a very special fire spirit power in the candle spirit fruit, ordinary monks will have a burning feeling in their hearts when they eat too much.
However, what Cao cultivates is the body refining technique, and his ability to digest the elixir is very strong, so he doesn't care about the blazing fire power in the candle spirit fruit.
After eating the spirit fruit, Cao Xiu immediately began to cultivate, refining spiritual power to strengthen his physical body.
Of course, there are many monks in the world who are richer than him, but there are certainly not many low-level monks who are so extravagant that they have spiritual fruits to enjoy every day.
If it weren't for the fact that the cultivation of the "Six Extremes Holy Demon Skill" was too difficult, and other monks used those spiritual fruit elixirs he ate, I am afraid that he would have already completed the condensation of the Yuan and started to cultivate in the mortal realm.
But Cao Xiu didn't care about this.
Although the requirements of "Six Extremes Holy Demon Skill" are high, its launch is also high!
Ordinary exercises can't be cultivated to an immortal body, let alone have unparalleled combat power across the world after this exercise is completed!
When Cao cultivated the Spirit Fruit to refine his body, he didn't notice that the Soul Nourishing Grass that he had planted earlier was changing.
I saw that the grass stems that looked like ghost needles trembled slightly, and the roots buried in the ground began to grow, quickly taking root, and the speed of absorbing death qi was surprisingly fast, and soon a small whirlpool of death qi formed around the soul nourishing grass.
This spirit grass was constantly absorbing death qi with the help of the vitality of the water of life, and the two diametrically opposed forces were balancing and fusing each other at this moment, and finally allowing the soul nourishing grass to continue to grow.
The originally low grass stem began to grow taller gradually, and under the action of the two forces of vitality and death, its growth rate far exceeded that of other elixirs cultivated by Cao Xiu with the water of life.
Just a drop of water of life actually made this soul-nourishing grass grow a little taller.
When Cao Xiu found out about the movement and came to investigate, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, he didn't expect that there would be such an opportunity.
Since the Soul Nourishing Grass could rely on vitality and death qi to grow rapidly, Cao Xiu was not in a hurry.
Originally, he only planned to consume ten or twenty drops of the Fountain of Life and spawn the Soul Nourishing Grass to a medicinal age of about five hundred years, but looking at the current growth rate, with the same amount of Life Water giving birth, even if the Soul Nourishing Grass grew less than a thousand years old, it would not be much worse.
This made Cao Xiu's heart tremble.
You must know that the five-hundred-year-old Soul Nourishing Grass and the thousand-year-old Soul Nourishing Grass are completely different concepts.
Although it would take longer, he didn't care about it, compared to a thousand-year-old soul cultivation grass, what was it to wait a few more days?
Next, Cao Xiu would come in every night and pour a drop of water of life on the soul nourishing grass.
I have to say that this feeling of seeing the rapid growth of the elixir every day is indeed wonderful.
And during the day, Cao Xiu would not only take it with him at the inn, but after practicing, he and Chen Shi often went out and took a general tour of Qingyun City.
Not only to get acquainted with the city, but also to collect some elixir seeds.
Qingyun City, as a city protected by the Great Luo Sect, has a huge number of elixirs that can be found in the four major markets, which is simply beyond Cao Xiu's imagination.
While he was excited, he also had to be helpless because of his shallow knowledge.
Because there are too many things he doesn't know in the market.
In view of this, he specially bought a few books that recorded many elixirs and various spiritual materials, and often read them in his spare time, which broadened his horizons a lot.
According to the things recorded in these books, he found the elixir that suited him, and he really gained a lot.
However, most of what Cao Xiu was looking for were elixirs similar to Zhu Guo, which had not grown for too long.
Because cultivating such elixirs doesn't require much water of life to be consumed.
Otherwise, if he bought back those top-grade elixirs that would take thousands of years or even ten thousand years to mature, he would not be able to afford to raise them.
As for the legendary fairy herb elixir, I can't even think of it.
You can't just use up all the water of life for a single elixir, right?
With his current state, ordinary elixir was enough for him to grow.
Time passed in a hurry, and soon it was the day when the Great Luo Sect opened the mountain gate!
But the day before the opening of the mountain gate, after nearly half a month of growth, the soul nourishing grass had a thousand years of medicinal age and completely matured, and there were strange fluctuations in the depths of the cave.
