Chapter 39: Shi Luo

When leaving the sea viewing platform, Shen Shi subconsciously touched the ruyi bag on his waist, although he didn't look at it, but the existing geometry of his belongings, he was still very clear in his heart, maybe this was also a kind of talent that grew up in the merchant's house back then.

Except for those scattered and miscellaneous things, now he still has only those two second-grade spirit grasses that are really valuable in his hands, and the spirit crystals have been cultivated over the past few days, including from time to time, Xiao Hei will also entangle and eat one, so now there are only nineteen spirit crystals left.

This belongings seem to be okay, but in fact, it is no different from the scattered cultivation of living in embarrassment outside the mountain gate, and earning spirit crystals is really a top priority. Shen Shi sighed secretly, and naturally remembered what Zhong Qinglu had talked about with him just now, and the pressure on his heart couldn't help but increase again, but then he himself also laughed in his heart, with a little self-deprecation, thinking that what he promised anyway was just to do his best, if he really couldn't find the six main materials for refining the three-grade spirit pill, it would be useless.

Before going down the mountain, he went to the white wall in the Guixin Hall to take a closer look for a while, wrote down the simple task requirements above, and then went down the mountain to the pier at the foot of Jinhong Mountain where the immortal boat crossing the sea was parked.

After thinking about it, Shen Shi finally felt that aside from other things, the most important thing at the moment was to earn a little spirit crystal for himself first, as for the way to make money, everyone was different, but after Shen Shi considered it, he still felt that his current situation seemed to be the most appropriate and fast method of collecting spirit grass.

Although the profession of collecting medicine or the method of earning spirit crystals is known to all monks in the world and most people have done it, but if you want to do it well, it is not simple, not only to be knowledgeable and sharp-eyed, to remember the appearance characteristics and even medicinal uses of many different grades of many spirit grasses, but also to judge the growth area of the spirit grass and the year of the spirit grass, in fact, although countless monks have a part-time job in the field of exploration, but for most people, this kind of thing is equivalent to hitting a big luck, if you are lucky, you will dig a spirit grass, and if you can't touch it, it will be like that。

After all, all things are born, and the spirit grass is still a rare and rare spirit object after all, and it is often mixed with ordinary grass and trees, so it is not easy to find it, not to mention that sometimes there will be demon beasts who also covet the spirit grass and guard it, which is another danger.

However, for Shen Shi, it is not too much of a problem for Erudite Qiang to recognize the spirit grass, as for finding the place where the spirit grass is, when he boarded the sea crossing immortal boat, he patted the head of Xiao Hei, who was following him all the way, and said with a smile:

"It's all up to you, Blackie. ”

The little black pig looked up at him, and although he didn't know where he was going, he still snorted a few times quickly.

The Lingxiao Sect's Sea-Crossing Immortal Boat is a large ship, which seems to be able to hold at least hundreds of people, and it departs from Jinhong Mountain every morning and returns again at dusk, which is the only passage for the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect who are not enough to fly in the sky to and from the Haizhou Continent.

However, before getting on the ship, on the dock under the boat, there are a few disciples who are specially stationed here to register the people who board the ship one by one, Shen Shi is naturally no exception, from the Lingxiao Sect disciple rules, he also knows that this is a rule of the Lingxiao Sect, although after the realm reaches the Ning Yuan Realm, the sect no longer deliberately restricts the disciples from going out, but basically ordinary disciples are still limited to twenty days, and they cannot be delayed at will, as for those who need to walk the world for a long time, they need to go to the sect elders to report.

After registering the directory and paying the fee for a spirit crystal, Shen Shi took Xiao Hei on the sea-crossing immortal boat, and then in the sea breeze and the chirping of those seabirds flying in the wind on the sea, the sea-crossing immortal boat slowly left the dock and sailed towards the mainland of Haizhou.

Along the way, the big ship rode the wind and waves, it was very stable, and the speed was also quite fast, I don't know if there was a master master of the Lingxiao Sect who also applied some magic power on this big ship, so that it could have such a miraculous effect. After a long distance, it took the big ship about half an hour to reach the shore of Haizhou.

On this day, there were almost dozens of Lingxiao Sect disciples traveling by boat on the boat, Shen Shi looked around, but saw that all of them were unfamiliar faces, and after arriving at the shore, these Lingxiao Sect disciples also got off the boat in turn, some walked in pairs, and there were also many people who walked alone, walking in different directions, looking at the fact that they had a certain number in their hearts, and soon dispersed.

Shen Shi naturally walked alone, and after walking to the north for a while, he could vaguely see the tall and majestic city of Liuyun City, but he did not continue to walk towards the big city, but took out a small booklet from the Ruyi bag, with the words "Haizhou Geography" written on the cover, opened it and looked at it carefully, looked up at the direction, and then turned to the west of Liuyun City and strode towards the west.

Haizhou is the premier state in the south of the Hongmeng Continent, with a vast area and fertile products, rich in various spiritual materials since ancient times, and many treasures all over the world, which is the most desirable fertile land for monks in the world, and also supports countless monks and cultivators, including Lingxiao Sect and other famous sects that move the world.

The book "Haizhou Geography" in Shen Shi's hand is a book given by Ling Xiaozong to his disciples, which introduces the geography of Haizhou in detail, and focuses on the treasures that mark those rich in spiritual materials. After all, most of the way of cultivation depends on oneself, and going out to explore to find various opportunities is also the path that every monk must pass.

Treasure land is just a common name, usually refers to those places with abundant spiritual energy, which often have more and more concentrated spiritual materials than other places, and often attract many fierce demon beasts to gather here, so treasure land is also a dangerous place. But the demon beast itself is often a kind of spiritual material pursued by monks, so many monks are eager for the treasure land, the difference is that the risk of different treasure land is different, generally speaking, the higher the level of the spiritual material produced, the higher the level of the demon beast, the stronger the combat power, and it is easy to die.

It's just the way of cultivating immortals, where will it be smooth all the way?

After thinking about it this time, Shen Shi chose to go to a treasure place called "Dafeng Cliff", located about one hundred and eighty miles west of Liuyun City, according to the records of Haizhou Geography, this place has a lot of spirit grass, the grade is not high, most of them are one or two grades, occasionally see three grade spirit grass, but also demon beasts, it is also about this grade.

Considering his own situation, Shen Shi finally chose the Great Wind Cliff among the several treasures he fancied, in fact, the spirit grass is still second, the key is that the demon beasts here are not too fierce, with his current Dao strength, if he really wants to face a third-order demon beast that has condensed the demon pill, I am afraid that it is still more than auspicious.

Maybe after earning some spirit crystals, it's time to go to the magic hall to learn a second-order spell, right?

Shen Shi thought like this in his heart, all the way through, the body of a cultivator was far superior to that of mortals, especially after arriving at the Ning Yuan Realm, compared to the previous Qi Refining Realm, it was a step up, so around noon, Shen Shi took Xiao Hei to the Great Wind Cliff.

The place name is called the Great Wind Cliff, in fact, it should still be regarded as a small mountain range that occupies a circle of tens of miles, the highest peak is abrupt, a cliff is particularly eye-catching, it is said that when the wind is extremely strong when it arrives at the top of the mountain cliff, ordinary people are even difficult to stand on, so the name of this Great Wind Cliff has been handed down.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Shen Shi looked at the surrounding terrain, only to see a mountain road winding up, the mountain is gentle, several mountains are connected into a piece of undulation, there are many verdant forests on the mountain, it is obviously a place with abundant grass and trees, and it is also the most suitable place for the growth of spirit grass.

He nodded, glanced at Xiao Hei, who was standing beside him and seemed to be looking at this mountain range, and gently kicked its ass with his foot, and then when Xiao Hei looked over, he stretched out five fingers and said with a smile: "Five spirit grasses, change a spirit crystal." ”

The little black pig rushed out with a swish, and Sa Huan generally ran forward on the mountain road, looking very excited.

Shen Shi laughed and followed it forward.

An hour later, Shen Shi walked to the top of the first hill, and in the Ruyi bag on his waist, there were already seven more spirit grasses, and one spirit stone was missing.

The seven spirit grasses are all of the same grade, which is not a special surprise, but the speed of harvesting and collecting spirit grass is also good. However, what gave Shen Shi a bit of a headache was that after finding five spirit grasses and exchanging a spirit crystal from Shen Shi, the little black pig suddenly had a ** attack and began to be lazy, dealing perfunctorily along the way, and found two more spirit grasses, but he found nothing more.

"If I knew this, I should have told it ten spirit grasses, no, twenty spirit grasses for one spirit crystal. Shen Shi was a little speechless and looked at the little pig who was walking leisurely all the way with the spirit crystal in his mouth, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

It's just that Xiao Hei is lazy, and Shen Shi doesn't have any good ways to take it, but it's obviously too early to turn back, so he took the little pig to walk around the Great Wind Cliff at will, and at the same time looked around with his eyes wide open, wanting to try to find it himself.

It's just that without the little black pig's extremely keen sense, the matter of finding the spirit grass suddenly became extremely difficult, Shen Shi searched for a long time on this mountain, and even deliberately stepped into a lush grass in the middle to rummage for a long time, which can be described as tireless, but still found nothing.

Unconsciously, Shen Shi realized that it was not easy to cultivate in the world, without a sect teacher, without a backer, if he wanted to cultivate the Dao, he could only rely on himself to earn every bit of spirit crystal.

When another hour passed, when he walked down from the first mountain to a canyon in the middle, the number of spirit grasses in Shen Shi's Ruyi bag was still only seven.

"I can't live this day!" Shen Shi exhaled a little depression in his chest, sat down with his back against the trunk of a big tree, and said to Xiao Hei who was following him.

The little black pig glanced at him, snorted twice, and seemed to be in a good mood, as if he didn't agree with Shen Shi's felling, and at the same time, the spirit crystal in his mouth spit out and rolled back, and it was vaguely seen that the light on it had dimmed a lot.

Shen Shi snorted, patted its head behind him angrily, and said, "If you can't find the spirit grass and can't open the pot, I'll slaughter you and go to Liuyun City to sell meat when I turn around!"

The little black pig snorted twice, looking very dissatisfied, and even the little tail stood up and shook twice.

Shen Shi smiled and pushed it, but the little black pig didn't retreat, but instead came to his side, and began to arch him with his head, as if he wanted to push Shen Shi away.

Shen Shi said: "Don't make trouble. As he spoke, he pushed Xiao Hei away with his hand, but the little black pig persevered, and came over to continue to arch his body, Shen Shi couldn't bear its entanglement, so he had to stand up.

"Okay, okay, I'll just joke about it, who can really slaughter you to sell meat?"

The little black pig snorted twice, but stood where Shen Shi was sitting just now, and then knocked twice with a pig's trotter on the open space under the tree.

Shen Shi frowned slightly, squatted down, looked at the ground and said in amazement, "What do you mean?"

The little black pig snorted twice, and the little pig shook his head and walked away.

Shen Shi glared at the black pig who pretended to be stingy, thought about it for a while, or tried to dig up on this piece of land, as the soil layer gradually dug up, it didn't take long for a gray-brown tuber to be exposed in the soil, which looked ordinary and inconspicuous, but Shen Shi's eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile came to his lips.

It's just that at this moment, a voice with a sense of surprise suddenly came from the side: "Hey, this is a second-grade spirit grass stone dill!"

With this voice, behind a big tree about a foot away in front of him, two people turned out, a man and a woman, and their eyes fell on the strange tuber in Shen Shi's hand.
