Chapter 102: Meridian Spirit Grass
Whether it's for temporary tasks or for future cultivation, these are all things that need to be understood.
However, Lixia did not take on the difficult task this time, and he did not plan to go deeper, his divine sense swept the two beast skin books, stored the content in the sea of knowledge, and when he had time to get familiar with it in the future, he walked towards the west city gate.
At the gate of the city, some monks gathered in twos and threes, looking at the monks passing by from time to time.
Some of these monks have taken the task but are not able to complete it alone, and some of them feel that it is not efficient to do the task alone, so they want to seek other monks to form a team together.
However, most of the monks in the Unbounded City go out to hunt beasts to go to sea, so there are more squads like the East City Gate, and there are fewer here at the West City Gate.
For many years, due to the hunting of monks, there have been relatively few sea beasts in the open sea, and if you want to make a harvest, you have to go further, but when your strength is insufficient, it is too dangerous to go deep into the inland sea.
Moreover, the quality requirements of the sea vessels required to sail on the edge of the inland sea are also relatively high, whether they are rented or purchased, the cost is quite high, so it is not cost-effective to fight alone, and many monks choose to go out to sea to hunt beasts in teams.
To the west of Unbounded City is a mountain forest, and the aura is not strong, so there are no high-level demon beasts, at most only the fifth order, but after passing through a swamp is the demon beast forest.
There are more poisons in the swamp, and there are fewer spiritual things that can be used, but it is more difficult to get through, and the monks can also rely on auxiliary means, but it is difficult for ordinary demon beasts to pass through.
Therefore, the swamp can be regarded as a natural barrier, which can reduce the pressure of the demon beasts of the Demon Beast Forest on the Unbounded City to a certain extent.
Therefore, the danger factor of hunting beasts in the west of the city is much lower than that of hunting beasts in the sea, and the distance is not far, so most monks choose to travel alone.
Unless the task cannot be completed alone, or the level of the demon beast hunted is too high, or it is a group of monster beasts, and it must be completed with the cooperation of other monks, it will choose to form a team.
However, when monks form a team to do tasks or hunt beasts, what they need to consider is the actual combat ability and tacit understanding of the monks.
Lixia's age and cultivation were all here, and no one believed in her actual combat ability, so most of the monks glanced at her, looked away, and continued to look for monks who seemed to have good actual combat ability.
Almost no one looked at her twice, Lixia touched his nose and went out of the city by himself, just because he was new to the city and didn't understand any rules, so he didn't want to team up with others!
Lixia left the city and walked west, following the approximate route indicated on the identity card and began to look for the meridian grass.
For the tasks received in the mission hall of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, the character information will be directly displayed on the identity card, such as the task of collecting spirit grass and collecting monster materials, if someone has done a similar task before, and provides the location of the items required for the task, the task hall will also be entered as a reference for similar tasks in the future.
Long-term tasks like collecting meridian grass and collecting the corpses of the six-winged centipede have already been done, so the approximate location is shown on the identity card.
Lixia plans to follow the route to find the location of the meridian grass first, confirm whether there is still a meridian grass growing there, and then go to look for the six-winged centipede.
Meridian grass is not a rare spirit grass, and the grade is not high, divided into grass and meridian grass, the grass is black, ripe at night, the attribute is extremely cold, the meridian grass is white, matures at noon during the day, the attribute is extremely yang.
The two are very different in appearance and medicinal properties, but the combination of the two has the effect of neutralizing medicinal properties, and it is an essential medicine for alchemists.
Therefore, Lixia took this task, not only to earn contribution points, but also to collect a little bit of this spirit grass.
Lixia tried his best to avoid other monks along the way, and did not provoke any demon beasts, relying on the concealment technique and invisibility charm obtained from Fang Chunwang, Lixia successfully arrived at the small valley where the meridian grass grew before noon.
It is said to be a small valley, but it is actually a depression, surrounded by stone mountains with almost no grass, only a depression in the middle, a large piece of meridian grass grows, the sun shines directly at noon, and the temperature in the depression is extremely high.
But as you can imagine, at night, the temperature should be very low here.
Lixia rushed to collect dozens of mature white noon grass at noon, once the noon grass was ripe and was picked, the seeds would automatically fall off, and the seeds shed by the noon grass were actually pure black.
Curious, Lixia couldn't help but collect a few seeds, thinking about whether they could be planted successfully in the space in the future, and the other seeds were left to be scattered on the ground, waiting for natural growth.
Meridian grass can only be harvested when it is ripe, and it is useless to collect it when it is not mature.
Unlike other spirit grasses, which are immature, their medicinal effects are discounted at most, while meridian grasses are immature and have no medicinal effect at all.
That's why such a large patch of meridian grass can be left here.
After Lixia collected the meridian grass, he temporarily left the depression, searching for other spiritual grasses nearby, and prepared to come and collect the grass when he was ready.
However, I didn't go too far, just near here, I wandered around for an afternoon, and the harvest was not bad, and I searched for a few Xuan-level low-grade and middle-grade spirit grasses, and it was estimated that I could sell a few hundred spirit stones.
When the sun set, Lixia took out the turtle shell magic weapon, embedded the spirit stone and opened all the formations, and he shrank inside to look at the spirit plant, waiting for the arrival of the child.
The formation is opened, and the situation inside the turtle shell can not be seen outside, Lixia can indeed clearly see the situation outside, the depression with a high temperature under the sun during the day, and at night it is not only the temperature extreme, but also a lot of floating ghost fires in the depression, and it is actually a place where yin and yang meet.
No wonder so many meridian grasses can grow!
Looking at the fluttering ghost fires, Lixia felt a little furious in his heart, and tried his best to concentrate his attention on reading the beast skin book.
Finally, it's still a quarter of an hour before it's time to ask for a child, and after collecting the grass, you can leave this hellish place.
But at this moment, a male cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building who was full of embarrassment ran over in a panic, followed by five foundation building monks, one in the early stage of foundation building, and four in the middle stage of foundation building.
It seems that the monk in front was chased and killed by the people behind, and he came here in a panic.
Lixia couldn't help but secretly say "bad luck" in his heart
As long as he came a quarter of an hour late, he collected the grass himself.
But at this time, it seems that we can't collect the spirit grass well tonight.
But Lixia didn't plan to meddle in his affairs, so he planned to shrink in the turtle shell, and when they understood the grievances, he would waste an extra day.
It's a pity that the wish is too good! Reality does not allow it
