Chapter 181: Collecting Herbs

"I have one thing to remind junior brother, if you want to obtain a large number of medicinal materials and collect them in the wild, it is not enough, it is best to cultivate a medicinal field. It won't happen overnight, but you need to be prepared in advance. ”

Before leaving, Zhang Xingwen's admonition echoed in You Ziji's mind, he might really need a piece of medicine field, but he didn't know how to arrange it.

"There's a waterfall ahead, and we're here."

Ji Wenyi's voice interrupted You Ziji's thoughts, and he put the matter of the medicine field behind him for the time being and looked down.

I saw that the canyon had a huge difference between the top and bottom, and the water flowed down, stirring up the mist in the sky, as if in a sea of clouds.

Ji Wenyi Edgeworth walked along the canyon, touring the dry places quite far from the waterfall.

The spiritual energy in Xuanming Dao is abundant, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, and the books that You Ziji has read through Danyang Peak have recognized more than a dozen kinds of herbs, which are distributed all over the cliff.

As for the Sanyang flower, they didn't find it, Ji Wenyi rose up and came to the top of the cliff, with their strength, climbing the wall was easier than flying with the sword.

After landing, the grass was not up to the ankles, but due to the influence of the moisture in the distance, it also moisturized the place.

You Ziji opened his eyes, glanced to the left, avoided trees, mountains and rocks, and specifically looked for the place where the sun was strong.

Suddenly, I saw a place in front of me, like flowers and plants but dazzling and very dazzling, You Ziji's eyelids were slightly closed, and he could finally see clearly.

It was a yellow flower, with only three petals, swaying in the wind against the sun. Sunlight is gathered and stored by its petals, which is why it shines brightly. Its rhizome is small, and there are three or five serrated green leaves on its body, which is the characteristic of Sanyang flower.

"Senior brother, I found Sanyang Flower."

Ji Wenyi came when he heard the sound, and saw that You Ziji was taking out the herbs, and walked a few steps forward, and found that there were small clusters of Sanyang flowers in front of him, not to mention more than a dozen plants, so he went to pick them without saying a word.

You Ziji remembered Zhang Xingwen's proposal, so he took out the soil on the Sanyang flower and its rhizome and put it in a cloth bag to take away, ready to go back and plant.

Ji Wenyi in front of him has also taken down ten Sanyang flowers, and the remaining six or seven have not moved, seeing You Ziji coming, he handed over the herbs in his hand, "We can't sweep the herbs and wipe them out, and after a while, they can still grow." These ten strains are enough for a short time, so let's go find the other two herbs. ”

Seeing that You Ziji had no objections, he took off his sword again, emitting sword light to wrap the two of them and slowly fall to the edge of the waterhole at the bottom of the cliff.

The waterfall descended thousands of feet down the river before falling here, and half of it turned into mist in mid-air. It looks magnificent in the distance, but when it is close to the waterhole, it is more peaceful.

Outside the waterhole is the woods, and many dead trees have fallen to the ground and turned into rotting wood, and there may be a half-leaf Ganoderma lucidum here.

You Ziji rummaged left and right, and saw that there were Ganoderma lucidum herbs growing in the rotting wood. Among them, the black-brown one with only half a mushroom umbrella is the half-leaf Ganoderma lucidum. This medicine is not rare and easy to cultivate, so there are many of them. Although it is common in the wild, there are not so many of them, and there are no more than one or two in a piece of rotting wood. And because of its short growth cycle, if it is not dried after maturity, it will rot quickly, so it is not necessary to find a mature half-leaf Ganoderma lucidum when you open the rotting wood.

At this moment, it was already night, Ji Wenyi saw that it was getting late, if he continued at this speed, the two of them would not want to rush back before dark. What's more, he has recently become the focus of the second senior brother's care, and there is still a lot of homework to be done.

"Little junior brother, I don't think it's too early, so we might as well go our separate ways. The shade grass grows in a dark and damp place, I'm fast, go to the distance to look for it, and you can collect the half-leaf Lingzhi here. ”

"Senior brother is right, let's go our separate ways."

Ji Wenyi didn't say a word, and rushed directly to the direction of the waterfall, if it is dark and damp, the waterfall is the most suitable place. He was alone, he didn't have to carry the wanderer, he was very fast, and rushed into the waterfall in one breath.

Behind the curtain of water is an empty cave, which does not see sunlight all year round, and the feet are wet, which is the accumulation of water droplets sprayed in from outside the cave. The cave here is naturally formed, and it has been eroded by the water to potholes, Ji Wenyi pulled out his golden sword and emitted light, illuminating the dark cave, and walked forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot.

Inside the cave, it gets narrower and narrower as you go inside, and there are many huge rocks mixed in, which makes the terrain even more complicated. Ji Wenyi walked around from the outside to the inside and basically understood the terrain here.

He took out a dozen zhang sword talismans, and after activating them, he emitted a three-foot sword light, which was very dazzling in the dark. These dozen or so swords were inserted into various parts of the cave, shaking the cave as if it were day.

Ji Wenyi didn't find any herbs here, but he didn't leave, looking for the Earth Yin Grass was not the purpose at the moment, he jumped up and down, looked left and right, nodded and said, "This place is very suitable." ”

I saw Ji Wenyi untie his clothes, there was a layer of lining inside, and he shook out the shade grass that had been prepared long ago. This is what he went to find the third senior sister after he knew that You Ziji needed herbs yesterday.

The grass is shaped like a roadside weed, half the size of a finger, but they are dark in color, have obvious downy on the leaves, and grow in places that are not suitable for normal plants to survive, so they are very easy to identify in the wild.

He left ten of them for You Ziji, and there were dozens of the remaining, all of which needed to be planted in the cave.

Ji Wenyi buried himself in hard work, stuffed a shade grass into the crevice under each rock, regardless of whether it was rooted or not, picked up three pills and crushed them, put them into the clean water he carried and shook them evenly, just sprinkle a few drops on them, you can stimulate the vitality of the shade grass, let her quickly take root here, this cave is very suitable for the growth of shade grass, as long as it is rooted, it does not need to be taken care of at all, and it can rely on itself to absorb nutrients to survive.

This elixir and the method of use are all taught by the third senior sister, simple and easy to learn, half an hour later, it has been completed, Ji Wenyi will be the remaining dozens of shade grasses, distributed everywhere to plant, forged into wild plants. He checked back and forth, and when he saw that there were no flaws, he left.

……

After You Ziji left with Ji Wenyi, he looked for the half-leaf Ganoderma lucidum by himself. Although the success rate is high, the process is very tortuous.

There are often poisonous insects, snakes and ants in the rotten wood, although they are not some strange species, and they are also frightened to watch. You Ziji didn't dare to use the Samadhi True Fire, for fear of affecting the medicinal power of the half-leaf Lingzhi, so he had to use the Splitting Hollow Palm to cooperate with the Phantom Pocket, and slowly open it one by one to check.

I know that there are many half-leaf Ganoderma lucidum, but there are few mature ones. Unconsciously, You Ziji had already walked around the waterhole for most of the time, but only found four. If he only found these on this trip, coupled with his not very proficient alchemy skills, I am afraid that he would not be able to refine a few pills.

"If you go further than one-fifth of the way, you will reach the end of the waterfall, and you can't find a few plants, so you might as well try your luck elsewhere."

You Ziji summed up for a while, made a decisive decision, and turned around and stepped into the dense forest.

The rotting trees in the forest are not as dense as those at the waterside of the pond and are scattered everywhere. But perhaps because of its distance from the water, the decay of the half-leaf reishi mushroom here is also slower, which has led to a much higher proportion of mature individuals.

You Ziji only found a dozen rotten trees to gather six half-leaf Ganoderma lucidum, and when the task was completed, he could stop it. But when he returned to the pond, he saw that Ji Wenyi had not yet appeared, and he had nothing to do, so it was better to go and get some half-leaf Ganoderma lucidum back for backup.

So, You Ziji returned to the forest again and rummaged carefully.

The deeper he went, for some reason, You Ziji's heart was a little hairy, as if there were other creatures around him peeping at him. He opened his five senses and carefully probed and found nothing unusual, but it was not always a wanderer, he flew up to the trunk of the tree and observed left and right. He also used the wind blowing technique, and swept a few miles around the left with a strong wind, bringing back a large amount of information and drilling into You Ziji's ears.

Except for the sound of some birds flapping their wings and insects gnawing on the leaves of rotting trees, there seemed to be no other sound, You Ziji frowned, his strange feeling became more and more serious, but relying on his methods, he could never find a clue.

"Could it be that this man is faster than the wind? Since he is within the Xuanming Dao, he shouldn't be an enemy, right? ”

You Ziji's spirit was tense, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

Suddenly, a palm slapped on his shoulder, startling him awake, but he didn't dare to resist in the slightest, this person could touch behind him silently, and it was easy to twist his neck off the ground.

You Ziji stiffly and slowly turned his head slightly, trying to see the person clearly, but heard the person say: "Little junior brother, why are you squatting here, no wonder I can't find you when I look for you." ”

It turned out that this person was Ji Wenyi, and the big stone in You Ziji's heart finally let go, "Senior Brother Ji, you were looking for me nearby just now?" ”

"Naturally, it's me, what's wrong?"

Ji Wenyi saw that there seemed to be something wrong with You Ziji's state, and hurriedly asked.

You Ziji exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, "Senior brother scared me to death just now, I obviously felt that someone was nearby, but I couldn't find it by all means, Senior Brother's method of concealing breath is really powerful." ”

"I see, in fact, you just can't use the divine sense yet, if you can master its wonderful use, it will save a lot of trouble to find people and seek enemies, and when you reach the Xuan Realm, the divine sense is strong and unhindered, I will teach you how to use it."

"Then thank you, brother."

"What's so thankful for this, it's all some foundations, with senior brothers and sisters, I'm afraid it won't be my turn to teach at that time." You've been looking here for so long, have you ever put together half a leaf of Lingzhi? ”

You Ziji opened the package around his waist, and there were herbs in it, separated by a sandwich, and there were nearly twenty strains of Ganoderma lucidum.

"It's all together, senior brother, can you find the shade grass?"

Ji Wenyi took out ten shade grasses from his pocket, "Of course I found it, this is not difficult for your senior brother and me." ”

With these ten Earth Yin Grasses, plus the previous harvest, You Ziji can refine ten furnaces of pills, and he should be able to have a good harvest, he asked again, "Where did Senior Brother find it?" ”

You Ziji had this question, so he naturally wanted to find out the location in case he could collect medicine by himself next time, so as not to continue to trouble his senior brother.

Ji Wenyi secretly said that the fish was hooked, but he replied vaguely: "Just behind that waterfall, junior brother didn't know that there was a spacious cave there, and there were earth shade grasses everywhere. ”
