Chapter 47: Snowpetal mushrooms

Two months later, the days have come to winter. The Linlang Sect is located in the southern part of the Black Forest Empire, which is not very cold, but this is only compared to the severe cold in the northern part of the empire. Snow, yes.

The sky is slowly drifting with soft, light and fluttering regular snowflakes, the strange rules are incomparable, similar but not repetitive, perhaps this is the magic of nature.

Snowflakes fell in the mountains and forests, piling up on the ground, forming a nearly foot, white snow, reflecting a slightly dazzling light. Especially in the grass, above the branches of the low hanging trees, the snow was thicker, and it was almost completely covered, leaving only a few unyielding bare branches, which stubbornly popped up.

Snowflakes fell on a group of centaurs, on their jet-black hair, on their shoulders, and even on their eyebrows, before quickly melting and turning into droplets. And those teams of centaurs, but they are not too afraid of this kind of temperature, except for wearing a leather jacket made of monster fur that does not look bloated, there are not too many anti-freezing measures, and the temperature emitted is enough to melt the snowflakes that fall on their bodies. Obviously, this is a team of powerful warriors with good physical fitness.

There were about 20 people in the group. At this moment, it is as if the sun, frightened by the cold of winter, only shines and does not dare to heat up, as if it were fake. The group sat scattered in a slightly open mountain forest clearing, of course, it was not very open, but the distance between the trees here was quite good, so everyone stopped to rest for a while, and enjoyed nibbling on two mouthfuls of dry food prepared in advance.

"What are you doing, kid? What can you find in such thick snow!" a rough voice came from the crowd, slightly questioning and curious.

The one who spoke was the leader of the legendary hunting team, a disciple of the Blue Dragon Society, and in the sixth stage of the Soul Lock Realm, he led his hunting team to hunt in the mountains. And in the team, there are also two deputy leaders of the Soul Lock Realm, and their strength is also first-class.

Today, they also went into the mountains to hunt as usual, but unfortunately, from the day before yesterday to yesterday, the goose feather snow has been falling non-stop, and the original orange and dark green mountains immediately became pure white. Of course, this doesn't have much impact on them, but the medicine pickers are not expected to come, after all, there is snow everywhere, and if nothing is buried, you can still find a ghost elixir.

But I didn't expect that in this kind of ghost weather, there would be medicine pickers who would go into the mountains with the group to collect medicine, and I don't know whether to say that they were lucky or that person had a bad brain. But they are not obliged to remind them, you give money, I will take you into the mountains to protect your safety, as for whether you can collect the elixir, then it is not up to you.

Looking in the direction of the regiment commander's voice, I saw the "brain is not good" medicine picker lying on the ground, lying next to a big tree, gently picking up the snow next to the trunk with both hands, hearing the regiment commander's voice, hehe laughed, and responded casually to nothing and continued to work on his own.

However, if someone walked in to observe, there was a delicate white box about the size of a palm under his chest, and the young man tossed the snow around the trunk of the tree from time to time, and the scene was like a dog shaving for a while, and it was a mess. From time to time, the young man smiled and put some petal-shaped snow in the snow into the box with his hands. Oh, and if you look closely, the petal-shaped, snow-like stuff doesn't look like snow, they don't fall apart, and they all have the same shape.

The young man carefully rummaged around the trunk of this ordinary tree, and after confirming that there was nothing he wanted, he looked at the box on the ground with satisfaction, and there were roughly a dozen pieces of "petal snow" lying inside, and he smiled, gently closed the box, and put it into the clothes on his chest.

He stood up, patted the snow on his body, and looked up at the trees around him, pointing his fingers to the ground from time to time, until he saw a large green bark tree not far away, and next to it there was another small dwarf tree, which still remained green in winter. Without speaking, the young man lay down again, and like Fang Cai, he shaved snow, and from time to time there was a small laugh......

Soon, the young man returned to the group not far away, sat down, and could see that he was still smiling slightly, and he did not know what to be happy about.

The head of the regiment was even more strange, what was the matter with this kid, so he asked: "Le Qi, what were you digging up like a dog just now? Look at your smile, did you find something? Take it out and show it to my brother, don't worry, we won't take you." It's just curiosity. ”

That's right, the "bad brain" medicine picker is Leqi. Today, he went into the mountains with the group to collect medicine. This was not the first time he had gone into the mountains to collect medicine, in the past two months, Le Qi had already entered the mountains twice, but it had not snowed so heavily at that time.

Of course, he didn't allow himself to lose money, although he didn't have enough experience for the first time, he barely found two fourth-order elixirs and a few third-order elixirs, which were also worth so many thousand gold coins, and after deducting the cost of protecting the group with six thousand gold coins, he also earned a few thousand! After going back, he immediately invited Ying'er, Kana and others to have a good meal, and spent nearly two thousand gold coins, which can be regarded as celebrating that he has embarked on a road to fortune.

The second time I went into the mountains to collect medicine, it was half a month ago, this time Le Qi had experience, and took an eye to observe it to see the route taken by the team, whether it was an unfamiliar route or an old route, and judged which elixirs could appear that he needed to focus on.

If it is a new route and there are few people coming, Le Qi will of course focus on some elixirs that are easy to dig and easy to find, such as elixirs that grow on the ground, Ganoderma lucidum, golden flowers, blueberry balls, etc. If it is the old route, Leqi also has countermeasures, and there are few on the ground, then I will focus on the underground, konjac roots, fire lotus seeds, cold ice bamboo shoots, etc.

Of course, if you want to dig up the treasures underground, you have to work hard, first of all, you must have good eyesight and be familiar with the growth characteristics of the elixir. For example, konjac root, fourth-order elixir, this kind of ghost thing, looking at the above-ground part and ordinary wild taro, there is no difference between the aboveground part and ordinary wild taro, if you stupidly dig one by one, then you can not get a konjac root if you dig to death, and at most you can get a meal of wild taro that is not very delicious......

However, it is difficult to tell anything from the outside, but it can be judged by the surrounding environment. Konjac root, somewhat abnormal, it is suitable for growing in some arid sandy and gravel soil, and it likes the sun, and the shade of trees is definitely not konjac root, in addition, closer observation, konjac root is relatively short. Comprehensively, etc., in order to have a greater certainty to find konjac root.

Of course, meeting these does not completely guarantee that it must be konjac root, and sometimes, Le Qi wastes a long time, and it may be just a small taro carefully dug up......

Le Qi was not pretentious, since everyone was curious, he took out two white boxes from his arms. The hunting group of the Blue Dragon Society is more or less its own people, and this thing also makes the soulless realm disciples violate their principles.

Opened the two boxes lightly, and Leqi handed them to everyone. In the box, because the "petal snow" is stacked together, it seems that the outline of the petals is not very obvious, like a ball of snow lying inside, the head of the regiment glanced at it, and said suspiciously: "You kid has been working so hard for a long time, and you dug up such a ball ......of snow? Suddenly, the head of the regiment gently touched the "snow" with his fingers, and suddenly felt surprised:

"This snow is not cold, soft, no, this is not snow!" The regimental commander observed carefully, faintly saw its outline, and then gently pinched one of it with his fingers, and was surprised to find that it was petal-shaped, and he didn't know what it was.

Looking at everyone's surprised expressions, Le Qi explained: "Hehe, this is indeed not snow, otherwise I wouldn't be so bored to dig it." This medicinal herb like "petal snow", called "snow petal mushroom", don't underestimate this thing, it is a fourth-order elixir! It is a special kind of mushroom kind of creature, the life period is very short, it can only grow from a certain amount of snow, and when the snow melts, or more than twenty days, it will wither, just like snow. Because it is shaped like petal-shaped snow, it is called "snow petal mushroom". ”

"Good guy! It's just such a little thing that turned out to be a fourth-order elixir! That's so much, it can be sold for one or two hundred thousand gold coins! That's as good as two fourth-order demon beasts!" a member of the legendary hunting group sighed, faintly envious, but not greedy.

Le Qi nodded and replied with a smile: "Hehe, this box of things is worth about 50,000 gold coins, and because it is difficult to store for a long time, if he encounters someone who needs it urgently, he will not blink an eye if he sells it for 80,000 gold coins!"

Everyone took a breath of cool air, "Eighty thousand gold coins! That's seven or eight fourth-order demon beasts! Wouldn't that be able to withstand the income of our entire group! It seems that collecting medicine is really profitable! Speaking of which, I'm a little moved, do you think I'll make a fortune if I change careers to collect medicine!" someone laughed.

"Fuck your uncle, it's good that your water-in-the-water head can cultivate, and you can also learn to collect medicine, and you won't die!" someone immediately teased.

When everyone heard this, they all laughed, indeed, collecting medicine, not everyone can do it, it requires strong memory, observation and smart brains, but in this world, due to the extreme expansion of force, there are not too many people who are really willing to use their brains.

I have to say that the education of ordinary people who were despised by martial artists when Le Qi was a child played a great role, not only the knowledge of distinguishing medicinal materials, but also knowing how to change his thinking like ordinary people who could not cultivate, and learn to solve all problems with wisdom rather than force.

It's not that warriors have bad brains, but their brains can work faster than ordinary people.

But many martial artists have been instilled with the realm of force as the foundation since childhood, and the others are all sideways, a brain that has not been trained to think since childhood, and what is in it is a mess. Because their brains don't have this circuit, they don't have this subconscious, or rather, they don't understand the most fundamental question: why think?

If they don't understand the meaning of thinking, they won't think, because they don't think it's meaningful, and they don't know how to think, and naturally they don't understand the meaning of thinking, and it's an endless cycle. It's the scariest thing in the world, but it's the most common.
