Chapter 13: A Fruitful Harvest
The earth cracked, the old trees snapped, a ravine a foot wide spread out, and a few small beasts looked around blankly on the ruins, and the forest was in shambles.
Song Xing and Gongsun Linglong came out of the cave, and when they saw this change, they all took a deep breath, the power of this storm was too great, especially the ravine, which seemed to tear a hole in the earth.
"Senior Brother Song, what should we do now?" Gongsun Linglong was shocked, and subconsciously took a few steps closer to Song Xing.
Song Xing thought about it, originally he still wanted to pick more spirit grass, but now it seems that there seems to be another change in the Thousand Spider Ridge, Song Xing has an ominous premonition, the Thousand Spider Ridge is not as simple as the elders said, there are too many unknowns here, even if the area is developed, if you are not careful, there will be a danger of falling.
"Get out of here first, go to the exit and meet you at the same door. "It's too weird here, Song Xing feels that it's not for them to deal with, and for the elders to deal with it.
Song Xing and Gongsun Linglong discussed for a while, so the two decided to rush towards the edge of the Thousand Spider Ridge, but they were afraid that they would encounter half a human skin again on the way, so they turned back in the opposite direction where the storm spread.
Along the way, you can see that the boulders that have been lifted up, the old trees on both sides, and even some rivers have been cut off at the waist.
"Violet. Suddenly, Gongsun Linglong was pleasantly surprised, and Song Xing also saw a big tree falling sideways by the river, and several small purple vines as thin as hairs were exposed to the sun.
Seeing Gongsun Linglong carefully step forward to put away the wisteria, Song Xing's heart suddenly moved, this storm swept all the way, the mountains and rocks collapsed, and the terrain changed, I am afraid that many elixirs will be buried or exposed, but if you follow this path, you should still find a lot of elixirs.
Song Xing told Gongsun Linglong about his conjecture, so the two of them deliberately walked along the place where the storm passed in the next few days, and the two really found a lot of elixirs along the way.
However, the strange thing is that few of these elixirs are left intact, most of them only have some rhizomes left, Song Xing checked the fracture and found that these elixirs seemed to have been bitten and eaten by something.
Although they were puzzled in their hearts, the two of them were still quite excited, even if it was an incomplete elixir, they could exchange a lot of spirit stones in the sect.
Moreover, Song Xing has another layer of plans, his cultivation has reached the fifth layer of qi refining, after going out, he will immediately participate in the inner door assessment, with his current strength, if he wants to pass the assessment, it is not difficult, after entering the inner gate, he will be able to get the follow-up exercises of the fifth layer of qi refining, and then exchange these spirit grasses for spirit stones to cultivate with peace of mind.
A few days passed in a hurry, and Song Xing and Gongsun Linglong had almost found more than ten spirit grasses in the past few days.
In addition to their joy, the two gradually discovered that as the impact of the storm slowly subsided, these spirit grasses were exposed, but more demon beasts also followed.
Especially in the past two days, there has been a piercing thunder and beast roar in the depths of this area, the movement is very loud, Song Xing once saw a lion with flames all over his body, as tall as a hill, it shook its body, the fire was sprinkled, and even the surrounding land turned into a scorched black.
I once saw a hundred-zhang long old snake, with sarcoma on its head, and a fist-sized thunderbird competing for a piece of green bamboo, every time the two beasts collided, the mountain peak was easily shattered, and there were countless demon beasts entrenched around, and the black pressed one, did not dare to step forward easily.
Song Xing and Gongsun Linglong were all surprised, what they saw in front of them was really amazing, countless monsters and fierce birds recorded in the classics gathered in this area.
These demon beasts exuded a powerful momentum, like a rolling torrent, and Song Xing and Gongsun Linglong could only avoid it from afar.
"Let's go around in a different direction, this is a rare opportunity, these demon beasts are all gathered here to compete for the Thunder Bamboo, there must be other places that are difficult to take care of. Song Xing whispered to Gongsun Linglong, Song Xing had a feeling in his heart that after going out this time, he was afraid that it would become very difficult to enter the Thousand Spider Ridge.
Song Xing and Gongsun Linglong walked around dozens of miles of mountains and forests, and a small stream blocked the way, but the roars of the beasts behind them gradually disappeared.
"It's so cool. Gongsun Linglong sat by the stream, picked up a pool of water and took a sip, these days with Song Xing day and night, she is no longer as shy as she was at the beginning.
Song Xing also came to the stream, the water was indeed cool, and after taking a small sip, the heat on his body suddenly disappeared.
"Not true. Song Xing's expression moved, there was an aura in this stream, although it was extremely light, but the aura in Song Xing's body had been purified, so it was very sensitive.
Song Xing walked along the shore, this stream was formed by a mountain spring flowing down from a stone cliff in the distance, the mountain spring was clear, tinkling, Song Xing saw a small white grass on the green and secluded cliff wall, half a foot long, with three flat round leaves, the mountain spring dripped on it, as if the clouds were filled.
"It's water cloud grass. Gongsun Linglong also followed and said behind him.
Song Xing's heart moved, he had heard of the Water Cloud Grass, this grass contains a lot of spiritual power, and it is the main medicine of many elixirs, but once this grass matures, it will dissolve in the heaven and earth on its own, and even the jade box cannot be preserved, so it is extremely rare.
"There are only three leaves left. The water cloud grass was obviously about to disappear, and the two of them felt sorry.
"Let's refine it. Song Xing's eyes froze, many elixirs are poisonous, and the human race should not be directly refined, but the water cloud grass is pregnant with pure aura, so it doesn't matter, and it's a pity that it dissolves like this.
Song Xingfei took it off, divided the water cloud grass into two parts, he and Gongsun Linglong were half of each other, and the two of them each found a big tree that several people hugged together, hollowed it out with a flying sword, and began to refine it.
In the tree hole, Song Xing first picked a small piece and contained it in his mouth, and the water cloud grass melted in his mouth, and suddenly a stream of ice went straight into his lungs, spreading outward along the meridians to the whole body, and Song Xing seemed to fall into the ice and snow all at once.
Not daring to hesitate, Song Xing hurriedly ran the heavy fire and introduced the ice flow of the whole body into the dantian, the ice flow floated in the dantian, and then condensed into a stream that was absorbed by the stone core, and diffused out in a moment, but at this time it was obviously much thinner, and it had obviously been purified.
Song Xing was happy, although it was only half of the water cloud grass, the aura contained in it was still extraordinary, comparable to his penance for half a month, and he meditated at the moment, and picked the rest of the water cloud grass and ate it.
Time passed slowly, and it was only after two days that Song Xing refined all the water cloud grass, although he did not break through the cultivation, but the aura in his body increased significantly, after returning to the sect, with the follow-up exercises, he should be able to break through to the sixth layer of qi refining, Song Xing's eyes flashed with a fine light.
At this time, Gongsun Linglong also finished her retreat, a clear qi permeated her body, and the whole person became even more ethereal, she actually broke through the seventh-layer realm of qi refining in one fell swoop.
Song Xing looked at Gongsun Linglong and couldn't help but smile bitterly, the same spirit grass, he just had an increase in aura, and Gongsun Linglong actually broke through a realm, which really made people not know what to say.
