Tian Xu quickly judged that the bloody qi on the two brothers Lu Xing and Cheng Yuan had nothing to do with Wen Yihe and the two masked men he met yesterday, and the time left behind this bloody qi should have been relatively long, at least a week or so.

He looked at the direction of travel of the two, probably in the direction of the shack where he was attacked yesterday, so that it could be explained that the two of them met him there, and it was likely that they really met by chance.

Letting go of his attention to these two people, Tian Xu continued to walk in the set direction, he had to find a hospital with a relatively strong orthopedic department as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the bones begin to fuse and grow, it will be a lot more painful to treat them.

In the afternoon, Tian Xu arrived at the side of the road, he carefully crossed the road, and did not find the figure of the tracker. In the evening, we came to the foot of a mountain.

He found a cave on the sunny slopes. The cave was relatively dry, except for the smell of some large beasts. The smell is not new, perhaps some wild beast once wintered here. He decided to spend the night here.

It was already getting dark, and if he lit a fire at this time, the target was too obvious, and he was afraid of being discovered by the cultivators in the vicinity, so he decided to eat the dry food in the space ring.

As he was picking among the large array of food in the ring, he suddenly found that there was one kind of self-heating suit for the military, which calmed his apologetic feelings.

Hot rice, canned meat, fresh cucumbers, mustard, and a small bottle of wine, Tian Xu was quite satisfied with his dinner. Especially that small bottle of wine, it was not a famous brand, but it actually contained aura, and it seemed that it should be specially brewed by the cultivation world.

After a short rest after the meal, it was already completely dark. Tian Xu sat cross-legged on a big stone at the entrance of the cave, ran the Yin and Yang Technique, and began to cultivate.

With the operation of the Yin and Yang Jue, the surrounding aura gradually converged towards the place where Tian Xu was, absorbed by his nasal cavity, and flowed into the limbs, and the originally thin aura in his body slowly thickened at a speed that could be felt.

It may be because he has just started to cultivate and gather qi, and his aura has increased very quickly, Tian Xu's mood has gradually immersed himself in this state of cultivation, and his mind is empty.

Along with the aura, there are also the smells of various objects around him, all of which converge in his nasal cavity, forming a somewhat strange three-dimensional image, the surrounding grass and trees, mountains and stones, all reflected in his mind, the near clear, the distant blur, like a novel picture, attracted all his mind.

Not far away, a small animal that seemed to be a mouse passed quietly, and an owl slipped silently from the night sky, grabbing the mouse, leaving only a slight trace of blood, which gradually filled the air.

The fly in the ointment is that the concentration of aura here in the cave is not too high, and it is lower than the average in this Qinling Mountains. Feeling the image formed by the sense of smell, a whimsical thought popped up in Tian Xu's heart: With the help of the ability of olfactory imaging, can I travel at night? If it is feasible, I can practice while walking, and I don't have to endure the smell in this cave.

Tian Xu jumped off the boulder, put his backpack on his back, picked up a wooden stick he found during the day as a crutch, and tried to walk forward.

At the beginning, he was a little afraid to take a step, always trying to see the road under his feet, but he couldn't see anything, which affected the play of olfactory imaging. Later, he gradually figured out the trick, using only his eyes to judge the direction of the surrounding mountains, controlling the general direction of his progress, completely trusting the sense of smell to find the way, and walking more and more smoothly and quickly.

Relative to vision, the sense of smell is not as accurate. But for the judgment within one or two meters, it can still fully meet the needs of walking. The advantage of smell is that it can be explored in a corner, and it can also track the scents that have been left behind.

In general, the thinking mode when using these two senses is different, we are all familiar with visual thinking, and now what Tian Xu has to do is to establish his own olfactory thinking mode.

After a night of exploration, Tian Xu basically established the sense of smell thinking, due to the limitation of vision, he unconsciously played the role of hearing, let hearing assist the sense of smell, the deviation of olfactory imaging to correct, coupled with the skin's feeling of wind, the feeling of temperature and humidity, and the mysterious intuition in the heart, gradually formed a comprehensive sense system, walking in this dark and rugged mountain forest at night, there is a feeling of walking on the ground.

At the same time, his sense of touch, hearing, and intuition have all improved with continuous practice, and it seems that this training on the night mountain road is really a good way to exercise his senses. Under the influence of this excitement, the pain of the wound seemed to be relieved.

When the first rays of morning light came and the originally vague vision began to become clear, the long-term instinct made him immediately return to relying on visual pathfinding, and Tian Xu gave up olfactory imaging with some reluctance.

Following the aura, Tian Xu looked around and finally found that there was a large protruding stone on the side of the hillside, forming a small platform. Just at the edge of this platform, a clump of slender filamentous plants was gently swaying in the morning breeze. As the sun rises, the plant has a pale golden color, like a metallic texture.

Tian Xu took a lot of effort to climb this big rock, and saw that the place near the edge of this stone was slightly concave, and there was a small amount of soil in it, and this bush of plants grew here.

Tian Xu is no stranger to this plant, this is the unique variety of traditional Chinese medicine in the Qinling Mountains - Golden Ribbon. It's just that this gold ribbon is shorter, thicker, and sparser than the average gold ribbon, and that's it.

The rich aura emanated from this golden ribbon, which was obviously a golden ribbon that had mutated into an elixir.

Tian Xu was a little curious, the golden ribbon generally grows on the dark and damp trunk of a tree, or behind a shady stone, but here it happens to be the rising sun, and the soil and water are very scarce, how does it grow?

Golden Ribbon, Immortal Medicine under the Ground Steps, 179 years, stable bloodline.

In the introduction of the Ground Rank Gold Ribbon in the Elixir Spectrum, it is stated that this Ground Rank Gold Ribbon has undergone a great degree of mutation, from a soft parasitic plant to a self-growing carnivorous plant. The tiny leaves that cling to the main stem are as hard as iron, and the strength of the stem has become very high, allowing it to use its blades to pierce into the body of small animals attracted by the aura, capture it, and then slowly absorb the flesh and blood in its body to supply its own growth needs.

Tian Xu looked closely around this small cluster of golden ribbons, and sure enough, there were bones of various small animals scattered, some of which were close to weathering, and some of which were still very fresh. From the bones, these animals have lizards, insects and other small things, but also birds, rats and other things, and even snakes and rabbits, it seems that this golden ribbon is not ordinary strong.

He suddenly thought that the two people from the Kunlun Sect said yesterday that they came here to look for the elixir-level golden ribbon, and they must have been looking for it in the dark and dense forest suitable for the growth of the golden ribbon, no wonder there was no harvest for more than a month.

Generally, when collecting gold ribbons, they are directly pulled by hand, and they must not be done like this at this time. Tian Xu pulled out the short knife on his waist and carefully cut it against the ground, but he didn't expect a few branches to bend over. He hurriedly withdrew his hand, and there was still a leaf scratching the back of his hand, and immediately a bloody cut was made. The few golden ribbons that had been slashed by the hunting knife were unharmed, still swaying in the morning breeze, as if mocking him.

Tian Xu reluctantly withdrew the hunting knife, pulled out the thin knife, and waved it against the root of the golden ribbon. The sharp thin knife was really powerful, and more than a hundred gold ribbons were cut off by Qi Brush, and only a dozen remained. These dozen or so were deliberately left by Tian Xu. This golden ribbon has grown tenaciously here for nearly two hundred years, and he is worried that he will lose his ability to hunt after taking it all, so he leaves a dozen of them, hoping that it will continue to grow.

The cut gold ribbons were cleaned up, and every dozen of them were tied into a bunch with silk threads, for a total of twelve bundles. Nine of them were packed into a jade box and placed in the space, and the other three were wrapped in a piece of cloth and placed in a backpack. If you meet Lu Xing and Cheng Yuan again, give it to them.

After this toss, the time has passed ten o'clock. Tian Xu found a relatively flat glade, picked up some firewood, set up a pot, and prepared breakfast for himself.

This night's trek, his physical strength has been exhausted, and now he has picked the gold ribbon of the ground level, and in order to treat himself, breakfast is very rich. He stewed a chicken, opened a canned dace with tempeh, and cooked a soup of shredded radish with sea rice and radish, and served it with hot pastry and lettuce.

After cleaning up the dishes after the meal, and after walking a short distance, he smelled the stranger again.

There are five people who smelled it this time, and they should still be people from the cultivation world. It's just that these people have a strong worldly smell on their bodies, and the smell of cigarettes, shampoo, bread and instant noodles is everywhere. Judging that these were cultivators was because of the bloody qi and the aura of elixir on these people's bodies. Tian Xu estimated that these five people should have been injured by others, and when they hurried past here, they left a smell. The smell was fresh, and they should have passed by after dawn.

Tian Xu was not prepared to pay attention to these people. At this time, the cultivators who were active in this generation were all labeled by him as ill-intentioned.

He put away the thin knife on his body, which was easily recognized, and left only the hunting knife outside, pretending to be a medicine picker who had gone into the mountain to collect medicine and was injured by a fall, checked that there were no obvious flaws, and then held the wooden stick and moved in the predetermined direction.

But just because he didn't want to provoke others didn't mean that others wouldn't come to provoke him, and trouble soon found him.
