"Tianxue, go up the mountain so early!" Aunt Li, who was in Huanyi, saw the thin girl carrying a bamboo basket and asked with concern.

"Aunt Li! Good morning! Grandpa's illness is getting worse and worse, and I want to pick some herbs so that I can invite Grandpa to Langzhong. Tianxue replied.

"Then be careful! Come back early! Your Uncle Li is going to fish this morning, and I plan to boil fish soup at noon, so you can bring a bowl to grandpa. Aunt Li looked at the girl in front of her and said with concern.

"Thank you, Aunt Li! I'll go first. Tianxue said goodbye to Aunt Li and hurried to the mountain.

"This girl is so early, it's really pitiful at such a young age!" I saw a middle-aged man holding a fishing tool and said to Aunt Li that this was her husband.

"What can I do, Old Man Li has been lonely all his life, he picked up a little girl a few years ago, and he can be regarded as having a companion, who would have thought that he would be sick these days, poor Tianxue has to go up the mountain to collect medicine at a young age, otherwise he will not be able to open the pot." Aunt Li felt a little distressed when she thought about Tianxue's thin body.

"I caught a fish today, let's see if I can invite a man to see Old Man Li, it's all from the neighbors." Uncle Li was also a little worried when he thought of Lao Li's illness.

"Okay, go fishing! Hopefully I'll be able to catch more fish today. Aunt Li also readily agreed.

Here, a small amount of snow has reached the mountainside of Baicao Mountain. I saw the clouds and mist in the mountains, but it was a good place for Zhong Lingyuxiu. This mountain is called Baicao Mountain, which is only named because of the fairy grass growing in the mountain.

Tianxue walked to the dense woods in the mountains, skillfully used a sickle to pluck the grass, searched carefully, separated the weeds, and dug out the fairy grass with roots and mud, so that it would be fresher to sell in the market. It's just that after all, the fairy grass is hard to find, and after working hard for an hour, I only got four or five plants.

"Hey! Such a little fairy grass is not enough to buy medicine for grandpa! If only I could find a higher-level fairy grass," Tianxue sighed in frustration, and at the same time took out a copy of the "Fairy Grass Collection" from her arms and looked through it carefully.

This "Collection of Immortal Grass" includes most of the spiritual herbs in the Dongzhou Continent, which is written by Yaowang Mountain, and is widely circulated, even mortals can buy one for ten cents. Tianxue has been read by her countless times, and the pages have been turned over.

I am seeing a page of purple pole grass: purple pole grass, purple all over, hidden with thunder, born by absorbing the moon, growing on the edge of the cliff. Thunder attribute, can make the Heavenly Thunder Dan, very powerful. Tianxue turned his head and glanced at it, there seemed to be something glowing purple on the edge of the cliff, could it be that he was lucky today, and he could really dig up the purple pole grass in the book. So she hurriedly put the book in her arms, and ran over with a sickle and a straw rope, intending to pick this purple pole grass.

"With the money from the sale in this way, you can invite a Lang Zhong to see a doctor for grandpa, and grandpa will definitely get better," Tianxue thought happily.

It's just that this purple pole grass grows on the edge of the cliff, and if you want to pick it, ordinary people can succeed. Perhaps the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, but he saw Tianxue quickly tie one end of the straw rope to the tree and the other end to his waist, and slowly poke to the edge of the cliff with a sickle. It was the first time for Tianxue to collect medicine like this, but for the sake of his grandfather's illness and in order to be able to pick this purple pole grass, the frightened Tianxue still mustered up the courage to slowly put down the grass rope in his hand, and his body was getting closer and closer to the spirit grass.

Finally, she trembled and moved her steps to reach the fairy grass. Then he grabbed the rope in one hand to fix his body, and in the other hand he dug down the purple pole grass with the sickle, and then threw the sickle and the fairy grass to the ground with a flick of his hand, and planned to pull the rope to climb up.

Just when Tianxue was happy, there was a "snap", and the fragile grass rope broke.

"Ahh Tianxue's inclined body did not have the help of the straw rope, and suddenly fell towards the cliff.

"It's over, it's not saved, you'll die if you fall, help! Whining! The sound of the whirring wind in his ears made Tianxue close his eyes in fear.

With a "plop", the falling body touched the water. Fortunately, the bottom of the cliff is a waterhole, otherwise Tianxue would have died here today. It's just that Tianxue doesn't know how to swim, and his thin body struggled a few times but choked on the water, and his body slowly fell to the bottom of the water, and his consciousness gradually blurred.

"Am I just dead? Will I never see my biological parents again? What about grandpa? "The girl's sense of vulnerability seems to be gradually dissipating. The pale face, the eyes are closed, and the body is still sinking. Unfortunately, it is a secluded place where no one has ever passed by, and this poor girl may die here today.

"Nope! I can't die! I can't just die! Tianxue's faint consciousness suddenly increased, and her calm body began to struggle, and her closed eyes suddenly opened.

Under such a stirring emotion, there seemed to be some cracking sound with a "pop".

Tianxue's body suddenly began to emit a dazzling blue light from the mouth of the heart, and under the stimulation of the blue light, the wolf tooth necklace around the neck slowly floated, dragging the body that fell to the bottom of the water, and finally threw it to the shore, and Tianxue went ashore.

After a stick of incense, Tianxue, who was unconscious, slowly woke up. The girl slowly opened her eyes, looked at the unfamiliar scenery on the shore, and remembered everything that had just happened.

It seems that he was picking medicine on the edge of the cliff, and then he fell into the water, and then he seemed to be unconscious, and then why is he on the shore now?

"Where am I?" Tianxue looked at everything around her in confusion, and felt the wolf tooth necklace around her neck in the middle of the week, which seemed to have a little residual warmth.

Tianxue thought carefully about what had just happened, and it felt as if it had something to do with the wolf tooth necklace in her hand.

This necklace has been worn by Tianxue since she was an infant and has not been worn for many years.

"Grandpa said that this chain was left to me by my parents, are you also protecting me in heaven?" Tianxue stroked the wolf tooth necklace and cried.

She had just experienced the moment of life and death, after all, she was still a child, and she was tired and afraid. Lying on the ground and crying fiercely, it seemed that he wanted to cry all the grievances in his heart.

Wait until the snow calms down, and then you are in the mood to look at the surrounding environment.

I didn't expect that there was a cave at the bottom of this cliff, and it was lush.

In addition to the waterhole where the snow has just fallen, there is a thatched house not far away, and there is even a fruit grove. It looks like a good place to retreat, with a quiet and elegant feeling.

But Tianxue experienced some twists and turns at this time, and his clothes were soaked, and he really didn't want to watch the scenery, he just wanted to go to the house to see if he could make a fire, and I don't know if there are still people living there.

"Is there anyone in the house?" Tianxue shouted twice and didn't see an echo, looked at the defeat of the thatched house, guessed that it should be uninhabited, and pushed the door open by himself.

As soon as he opened the door, a puff of dust flew up, choking Tianxue and coughing. Sure enough, there was no one, Tianxue muttered to herself.

Although the room is unattended and a little dusty, the furnishings are still complete, a bed, a table, a chair, and all kinds of living utensils. The most striking thing is a row full of bookshelves, neatly arranged with many books.

Mari's Tianxue skillfully lit a fire first, and the warm fire pit warmed the house, and Tianxue's clothes were almost dry.

Tianxue looked at the full bookshelves and was a little curious, although she learned to read and write with Wang Xiucai in the village, but she couldn't afford to buy any books in ordinary times, let alone seen such a large shelf of books in front of her.

Take it out casually and take a look, there are books that I haven't heard of, such as "The Biography of Dongzhou", "Five Elements Mixed Yuan Theory", "Best Spiritual Root Record" and so on. She was curious, so she sat by the fire and watched it carefully.

Unexpectedly, Tianxue looked like he was fascinated, and he looked at it for half an hour, and he didn't move.

Tianxue learned from the book that there was another heaven and earth outside the Dongzhou continent, with four continents, east, west, north and south, and a great war thousands of years ago separated them.

The current Dongzhou Continent is a mixture of immortals and mortals, and some of them are mortal worlds, with dynasties to rule. The other part is the world of immortal cultivators.

And the immortal cultivators are also divided into sects, among which the Luoxia Gate is respected, leading the immortal cultivators to cultivate immortals and asking, the longevity is long, and those who are advanced and profound can move mountains and reclaim the sea, and if they can ascend to the Tao, they can be immortal and immortal.

Seeing this, Tianxue was very surprised. I had indeed heard that immortal cultivators were different and had extraordinary abilities, but I had never seen them, let alone had the opportunity to come into contact with them. Now that he knows that there is such a vast world outside this small mountain village, Tianxue's heart is no longer calm.

Eager to learn, she continued to look down. According to the book, if you want to cultivate immortals, you must have a spiritual root.

The sign of having a spiritual root is that you have abilities, or you are not afraid of fire, you are not afraid of flooding, or you have a special affinity for plants, or you have unique talents in talisman alchemy, and these abilities are determined by the spiritual root of your body. If you don't have a spiritual root, you can't cultivate.

"If only I could cultivate, I also want to see the outside world." Tianxue read the book with relish, imagining that if she could cultivate, she could also have these magical powers, and she didn't have to be poor in this small mountain village, what a beautiful thing it was!

Seeing that there was a method for testing the spiritual root in the book, Tianxue also wanted to give it a try.

According to the book, Tianxue crossed her legs and placed her hands naturally on her knees, in a meditative position. Empty your mind and look inside your body.

At this step, it took Tianxue a long time, and the wandering mind was always fluttering, and it took a lot of effort to concentrate on his body.

Eventually, Tianxue pulled back her attention and began to look inside her body. I found that there was a light cluster in the dantian of my body, intertwined with three colors: blue, red and green, according to the book, this should be the body with three spiritual roots of water, fire, and wood.

"Great! I also have a spiritual root, so wouldn't I be able to cultivate and become an immortal who can fly with a sword! The excited Tianxue simply jumped up, and the usually quiet and introverted girl was very happy.

"Then maybe I'll have a chance to find my parents." Tianxue thought of her unmasked parents, and she had more expectations for her future life.
