The mountain forest where Tian Xu is located is located on the south side of Zhongnan Mountain, which is deeper into the Qinling Mountains than Zhongnan Mountain. It is precisely for this reason that the original appearance of the primeval forest has been basically maintained here. Normally, only some professional explorers, herb pickers, and cultivators would go deep into this place.

The air here is fresh and the aura is abundant, giving birth to all kinds of elixirs. At the same time, due to the lack of human tracks, there are many kinds of wild animals here, which has become a paradise for animals, and also brought various unexpected dangers to explorers.

Tian Xu walked in the mountains and forests, did not dare to be careless, always paid full attention to the movements around him, he fully mobilized his sense of smell far beyond ordinary people, explored the various smells nearby, and was alert to possible dangers. All kinds of trees, grass, rocks, soil, different smells constantly hit the tip of his nose, and he captured and distinguished, and finally formed a nearly three-dimensional smell map, as if another angle image, presented in his mind. The scent of insects, ants, snakes, rats, birds, and various small animals is dotted around, adding more interest to this smell picture. Occasionally smell the scent left by a large animal, or a deer, or a wolf, or a cat, each with its own characteristics. As he slowly explored, he found that by distinguishing the intensity of these smells and the degree of condensation, he could determine how long these smells had stayed, so he added a timeline to the scent image.

On a mountainside, Tian Xu, who was absorbing aura while walking, suddenly found that the concentration of aura in the air had suddenly risen several times in a certain place, which made him feel a little surprised. He greedily took a few deep breaths and continued to walk forward, but after only a few dozen steps, the concentration of the aura returned to its original state, as if the aura that had thickened just now did not exist at all.

Tian Xu was very curious, turned around and walked back, and once again confirmed this discovery, the aura here was indeed abnormal. He sniffed the aura here, searched repeatedly, and finally found that the abnormal aura came from a cliff below the hillside.

"It can't be that some elixir grows here, right?" Tian Xu was in high spirits, trying to look down and sniff.

More than a dozen meters below the cliff was a lush canopy of trees, crowded and unusually dense, completely obscuring the terrain below, and his sense of smell could not determine the specific situation. Judging by the growth of the trees, there should be a slightly flat space there. It's just that this place is covered with steep cliffs on the left and right, and it is impossible to approach it by conventional methods.

Tian Xu moved his left hand, assessing that the injured body should be able to complete the action of borrowing the rope, so he took out a mountaineering rope from his backpack, tied it to a big tree, tied a slip knot around his waist, and slid down to the platform.

Underneath is indeed a platform that can be accommodated, in the shape of a crescent, more than ten meters long, full of trees and vines. The canopy of trees obscured most of the daylight, making the platform very dim.

On the platform, the concentration of the aura was higher, allowing him to confirm that the aura was coming from not far to the left. In the middle of this aura, there was also a faint bitter taste, this bitter taste was very special, and it also made him feel a little familiar, he suddenly reacted, this is the taste of Ganoderma lucidum!

Tian Xu took out a thin knife, cut off the vines and branches on the platform, and opened a way out. As he opened the way, an extremely strong smell of grass and tree juice filled his nose. But no matter what, it can't hide the bitter taste of the Ganoderma lucidum.

On the hill wall, slightly above the leftmost end of the platform, there is a large tree. Half of the tree's trunk is dead and rotten, but the other side is still feeding the canopy above. Just chest-high on the dead side, there was a clump of reishi.

This cluster of Ganoderma lucidum is composed of multiple plants, but the umbrella above is connected as one, and the whole is dark red, and the rich aura continues to emanate from it, and it is constantly absorbed back, as if breathing. This clump of Ganoderma lucidum is about 25 x 10 x 15 cm in size, and it grows perfectly, with no signs of poor growth or insect moth, which is quite rare in wild Ganoderma lucidum.

Tian Xu was just about to step forward, when he suddenly smelled a fishy smell in his nose, which also had a faint sweet fragrance, and his nerves instantly tensed, this is the smell of poisonous snakes!

He clenched the thin knife in his hand, followed the source of the fishy smell carefully, and finally found that among the rocks under the tree, there was a thin snake coiled. The snake was not big, only the thickness of chopsticks, and the dark markings almost blended with the dead leaves under the tree, making it extremely difficult to distinguish in the dim light. The head of the snake was huge, almost three or four times as thick as its body, and it looked very incongruous. The snake coiled there, motionless, and the forked letter kept spitting out, as if it was also absorbing aura.

At the same time as Tian Xu stopped, the snake's body flicked and pounced on his chest at an extremely fast speed, and two large fangs more than 2 centimeters long stretched out from its open mouth. With a wave of his left hand, the green jade soft sword flashed and cut off the head of the poisonous snake.

The head and body of the snake fell to the ground, and the thin body did not keep writhing like other snakes, but the head of the snake without a body was still opening its mouth and making a bite action, which made people feel furious.

Tian Xu sniffed carefully, there was only the smell of this snake here, and there would be no other ferocious animals. So he took out a jade box and put the snake's corpse in it.

Walking up to Lingzhi, he used a thin knife to cut off Lingzhi along with a piece of tree trunk and put it into a large jade box.

After picking this clump of Ganoderma lucidum, Tian Xu's elixir spectrum was naturally activated:

Wild Ganoderma lucidum, the world's best elixir, 86 years, to correct and dispel evil.

Sniffing the aura emitted by the lingzhi in his hand, Tian Xu felt that something was wrong, although the aura of this lingzhi was rich, but compared to what he smelled on the cliff, there was less agility. He put away the Lingzhi mushroom and continued to sniff around, finally discovering that the aura with a lively aura of agility came from the high place of the tree.

When Tian Xu looked up, he saw that the trunk of the tree was obviously distorted at a height of more than two meters, so that his vision could not see the top of the distortion, and that agile aura came from there. He was secretly glad that he had this super sense of smell, otherwise he would definitely not be able to find the treasure on it.

He couldn't climb the tree with one hand, but the tree was built close to the steep mountain wall, and he could climb it with the help of the gap between it and the mountain wall. When he arrived at the top, Tian Xu found that a small Ganoderma lucidum grew there.

Compared to the one just picked, this Ganoderma lucidum can be regarded as quite inconspicuous. It has only a solitary one, the thickness of a finger, and there is no fungus umbrella on it, so it grows into a stick, less than two centimeters long, and there is a small branch fork on it, which looks very strange. This reishi mushroom is earthy yellow in color, dull in color, and unnoticeable, but the lively and agile aura emanates from it. The results of the identification of the elixir spectrum were shocking:

Antler Ganoderma lucidum, a middle-grade immortal medicine in the ground level, 8 years, to correct the evil and stabilize the cultivation realm.

Tian Xu's surprise came straight out of his heart, and he couldn't suppress it anymore. It's no wonder that he had never seen a ground-level immortal medicine before.

"The year is so short, why don't you pick it first, and let it grow here for a while?" Tian Xu hesitated for a while, and finally decided to pick it.

This aura-filled thing also has a strong attraction to wild animals. Now that the little snake guarding this place has been killed by him, it is difficult to guarantee that this Lingzhi will not be eaten by any animal.

Moreover, the comparison of these two lingzhi strains also subverted his cognition of the elixir level in his heart. Body size, appearance, age, and so on are not the absolute basis for judging the level of the elixir, this very short year of small deer antler reishi is not much higher than the huge reishi that has grown on the same tree for nearly a hundred years? It seems that the grade of this elixir is also the same as human cultivation, and there is a problem of talent. Moreover, the grade is not necessarily related to the variety of the elixir.

Back on the ground, Tian Xu tried to inspect the little snake he killed again, and the result was beyond his expectations:

Storm Viper, the high-grade holy medicine of the human level, the integrity was destroyed, and it was reduced to the lower grade, 110 years, the raw material of the advanced elixir.

The Elixir spectrum also gives the habits of the viper: it likes to live near the elixir, absorb the aura, and attack all animals that approach the elixir. The toxicity is intense, and there is no specific detoxification method. The snake is incredibly fast, able to swallow anything twice the size of its head, and has an extremely long lifespan of more than 500 years. The best way to collect them is to catch them whole alive, drown them in the water, and then dry them in the shade.

Tian Xu secretly said to himself, such a fierce thing, if he wants to capture it alive, the risk is too great, and it is far from what he can do now. It's better to lower the rank than to hack it to death.

After receiving the elixir with a good grade of three flavors one after another, Tian Xu's mood was very good, and when he climbed up along the rope, his strength seemed to be a little greater.

After going up the cliff, he collected his mood and continued on his way, but the smell in his nose shortly after he walked out made his heart alarm ring, and he smelled the smell of the living. There is neither the modern smell of modern cleaning products on the explorers or scientific expeditions, nor the unique sludge smell of the mountain people who have lived in the mountains for a long time, only a faint smell of sweat and some blood, giving people a feeling of floating out of the dust. This is obviously the aura that only cultivators have!

The current Tian Xu is definitely the hottest person in the cultivation world, there is no one, his strong wariness of cultivators makes him immediately pay attention to this clue.

The smell came from two days ago, it was the smell of two people, as if they were just passing through here, and it was distributed in a line. What puzzled him the most was that the smell of the two gave him a sense of déjà vu.

"Have I seen these two people, where have you seen them?" Tian Xu muttered to himself, his super sense of smell had just formed yesterday, and there were only a few people he had seen yesterday, and the answer jumped out at once—it was Lu Xing and Cheng Yuan, brothers of the Kunlun faction who saved him from Wen Yihe yesterday.
