Chapter 177: Ginseng
Shen Luo's eyes narrowed, and he carefully looked at the strange tree.
I saw that its whole body was red, the texture of its body was curled, and there were three or four branches on the top, but there was not a single leaf on it, even if it was still seven or eight zhang away, you could detect that there was a heat wave breath emanating from the tree.
He took a few more steps closer, and he could clearly feel a scorching wave of qi condensed in one place, turning into a wall of heat wave qi in front of him, making it impossible to approach.
Shen Luo frowned slightly, feeling novelty in his heart, so with a move of both hands, a blue water wave condensed from the surrounding water vapor, leading it to meander and flow, winding the entire heat wave qi wall like a water python.
As soon as the water waves touched the air wall, there was a "sizzling" sound, and bursts of white vapor immediately rose from it, and the temperature around it began to drop.
Seeing this, Shen Luo pinched the water avoidance trick with one hand, and a layer of water blue light was wrapped around his body, and with one step, he stepped into the range of the qi wall, and a scorching heat wave swept around him, surrounding him, making the blue light on his body tremble slightly.
However, after feeling it a little, he found that although the temperature of the heat was high, it was not so hurtful, so he relieved himself and walked towards the strange tree step by step.
It's just that the closer he gets, the more frightened he becomes, the strange tree actually exudes a very strong aura.
"It looks like a rare spirit tree, but I don't know what its function is?" Shen Luo secretly guessed in his heart.
At this time, he noticed that under the few blue lights scattered around the crimson spirit tree, there were actually green plants with branches and leaves, and the scent of grass and trees that had been emanating from its body before.
"It's really not easy to survive in such a high temperature!" Shen Luo was overjoyed and exclaimed.
He was not in a hurry to examine them at the moment, but planned to dig out this spirit tree first.
With a wave of one hand, an afterimage flashed in his sleeve, and the half-moon ring flew out of it, and with a "poof", it hit the ground and disappeared directly.
Shen Luo's wrist twisted slightly, and there were small dirt bags on the ground one after another, and then the crimson spirit tree suddenly crooked and fell to the side.
After falling to the ground, the red light emitted from Lingmu's body suddenly dimmed, and the scorching aura emanating from it also disappeared at the same time.
Seeing this, Shen Luo's heart tightened, and after recalling the half-moon ring, he immediately stepped forward to check.
His palm reached for the spirit wood, and when he was about to pick it up, he suddenly felt a strong burning in his palm, and his palm immediately loosened, and the spirit wood fell to the ground again.
When he looked at the spirit wood again, he found that there was a faint red crystal line of light flowing back and forth on it, and the spiritual energy fluctuations emitted on it were still unchanged, so he was relieved.
However, the temperature on the spirit wood was still very high, and when Shen Luo saw this situation, he could only ignore it first, and go to check the few blue spirit grasses.
To his surprise, without the heat wave of the crimson spirit trees, the aroma emanating from these spirit grasses suddenly became stronger, and the blue light emitted from them became brighter and brighter.
"How can the shape and veins of this leaf look so similar to mountain ginseng?" Shen Luo stared at one of the spirit grasses for a moment, and a look of doubt suddenly rose in his eyes.
He originally opened a pharmacy at home, and the variety of herbs he came into contact with on weekdays was varied, so he was naturally quite familiar with the ordinary mountain ginseng and yellow essence and other herbs, but now this spiritual herb obviously belongs to the category of fairy elixir, how can it look so similar to ordinary mountain ginseng?
Shen Luo was puzzled, so he took out the half-moon ring and held it in his hand.
It was completely different from when he was digging trees before, he had to be cautious and cautious several times more cautious at this time, first gently brushing away the floating soil around a spirit grass, and after the roots of the spirit grass were exposed, he put away the half-moon ring and began to clean it up bit by bit completely with his bare hands.
As the soil around the roots of the spirit grass was slowly cleared, a complete spirit grass root began to reveal little by little, and the color of its peel and the appearance of the roots were clearly no different from the ginseng, and even the unique iron lines on the ginseng were exactly the same.
However, the aroma of herbs and trees emanating from this spiritual grass is absolutely absent from ordinary mountain ginseng, and the rich aura contained in it is far from being comparable to the previous four-leaf flowers and yams.
"Could it be that this is the legendary ginseng?" Shen Luo's eyes hesitated, and he couldn't help but snort softly.
It took him a lot of effort, nearly a quarter of an hour, to clear out a complete spirit grass, and he pointed to the iron lines embedded in the spirit grass and counted them one by one.
The more Shen Luo counted, the more frightened he became, there were as many as eleven iron lines on this spiritual grass, if it was really ginseng, it meant that it was a superb ginseng that had grown for more than a thousand years, and it was a truly priceless treasure.
He held the spirit grass in his hand, sniffed the fragrance emanating from it deeply, and suddenly felt a cool breath rushing from the tip of his nose to the spirit platform, and his divine consciousness was also clear, and the whole person's breathing became much smoother.
"Whether it is ginseng or not, it must be an immortal herb and spirit grass, and it cannot be missed. ”
After Shen Luo made up his mind to pay attention, he immediately started to clean up all the remaining spirit grasses, and after counting them one by one, he found that all of them were more than a thousand years old.
By the time he happily took off his coat and packed all the elixirs away, the crescent moon in the sky was already hanging high above his head.
Shen Luo turned around and looked at the crimson spirit wood on the side, and saw that the crystal light floating on it had completely disappeared, he tried to reach out and touch it, and found that the temperature on it had also dropped, only a little warm.
He picked up the crimson spirit wood, looked up at the moonlight above his head, and did not continue to search for the spirit grass, but found a sheltered corner in the garden, sat down cross-legged, and began to close his eyes and breathe, and practice the nameless exercises.
The people and the moon are opposite, and there is no message in the distance.
There are no insects in the garden, only the slight sound of the wind, which seems empty and lonely.
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, a ray of sunlight fell from the wall and reflected on Shen Luo's face.
His eyes trembled slightly, he slowly opened his eyes, stood up from the ground, stretched his arms outstretched, stretched his muscles and bones, and suddenly felt refreshed and refreshed.
Previously, when he was in Changshou Village, he was limited by the limited aura of heaven and earth, and his cultivation had been stagnant since he entered the late stage of soul condensation, even if he continued to cultivate, he had not made much progress, but he had gained a lot from his cultivation last night.
Although there is still a long way to go before the realm is broken, after all, we can already see hope.
Shen Luo looked at the elixir and spirit wood on the ground again, and immediately felt good, picked them all up, and continued to explore the other side of Baicao Valley, wanting to see if there was anything more to gain.
