Chapter Twenty-Nine: Alien Grass
Walking out of the cave, the mountain behind him is also shaped like a lying cow, and it is similar to the lying cow mountain and its shape, so that He Weiji and Zhang Qiuchi suddenly have a feeling that they have indeed walked out of the Jiuqu Cave Heaven, but the outside world has changed the feeling of heaven and earth. The sky is high and boundless, this small universe is not "small" at all, walking in it, what you see is all amazing to the two of them. A mountain and a stone are full of aura, and every grass and tree are all natural treasures, and his eyes are straight when he sees it.
"This is the black frost grass, that is the golden leaf orchid, and the yin and yang mushrooms. Along the way, He Weiji counted dozens of strange flowers and plants, all of which are rare things in the world, rare materials for alchemy and medicine.
Zhang Qiuchi bent down and carefully looked at a golden leaf orchid.
"Senior brother, what are you doing?"
Zhang Qiuchi waved his hand to signal He Weiji to silence, walked around Jin Yelan several times, and only after confirming that it was correct did he take out a jade box from his arms, and took off Jin Yelan and put it in the box. "Since ancient times, the treasures of heaven and earth have either grown in a desperate situation that is inaccessible, or there are poisonous insects and beasts around, this is not a desperate situation but there are different grasses everywhere, not to mention strange beasts around, not even a rabbit, don't you think it's strange?"
He Weiji looked around and said, "Although this is a small Qiankun, maybe the Great Sage of Pingshan is just using it as the back garden of the cave." No one would have a bunch of poisonous insects and beasts in their back garden, right?"
Zhang Qiuchi nodded: "What you said also makes sense, but it's better to be careful." I just looked all around this golden leaf orchid, but there are no strange beasts to protect it, so I can pick it with confidence. β
"Senior brother, this is the cave of the Great Sage of Pingshan, we are not invited, and then we go to pick the herbs planted by others, isn't it appropriate?"
"Senior Brother He, as you said before, the Pingshan Great Sage had already been autopsied and transformed before the Three Tribulations, this Jiuqu Cave Heaven is really a borderless land, and these herbs are naturally ownerless. β
"But Wu Bu is still alive......
"If the demon king is here, I really don't dare to make a mistake, but you see-" Zhang Qiuchi looked left and right, raised his eyebrows at He Weiji, and said: Is Wu Unruly here? Seeing that He Weiji still has some concerns, Zhang Qiuchi could only step forward and pat him on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Senior Brother He, you should know that ten years later will be a great demon tide that will occur once in six hundred years, right? But do you understand the current situation of my Qingxu Sect?"
He Weiji was stunned, not knowing what Zhang Qiuchi was going to say.
"Six hundred years ago, the head master and several elders were still the same age as you and me, at that time, my Qingxu Sect had a refining god, six Yuan Infants, and one of them was my Qingxu Sect's first day in the past thousand years, Li Guiyuan's uncle. But the result of that great demon tide, you also know, in addition to Uncle Li's unauthorized departure from his post, which caused several cities to be slaughtered by the demons outside the sky, other state capitals under the rule of my Qingxu Sect also suffered heavy casualties, and there were no seven out of ten people in the mortal world. β
He Weiji was silent, what Zhang Qiuchi said was the history of the Qingxu Sect, and he knew it himself.
"In the Demon Tide, the Heavy Light Master Ancestor fell, and after the Demon Tide, the Guyang Master Ancestor failed to condense the Yang God, and the rest of the Master Ancestors also died one after another. Up to now, the cultivation of the Qingxu Sect is headed by the head master, and it has also stopped in the Yuanying Realm for many years, except for the empty pole uncle, the other elders are still in the Jindan realm, to say a word of disrespect to the master, the current strength of the Qingxu Sect is far inferior to the generation of the ancestor. With the ability of the master and the ancestors, the resistance to the demon tide six hundred years ago ended miserably, and now my Qingxu Sect can still have eggs in the great demon tide ten years later?"
"Senior brother, the problem is not so serious......
"If the problem is not serious, will the senior uncles at the previous sect conference be arguing like that? It is true that there are powerful and peerless people among the demons outside the sky, but the terrifying thing about the great demon tide is still because there are many evil demons, and thousands of them are coming like a tide. To resist the tide of evil demons, forming a formation to resist the enemy is far better than fighting alone, and the magic weapon talisman is also stronger than the Dao trick spell, and these things consume the most resources. Therefore, this Gathering Spirit Stone vein in Woniu Mountain, my Qingxu Sect must hold it in my hands, and exchange it for all resources that can improve my strength within ten years, whether it is an elixir magic weapon or a blade talisman. In the same way, since there is no owner of the different grasses in this small Qiankun, I naturally have to pick them, and the more the better. β
Saying that, Zhang Qiuchi picked another Wushuang grass from the ground and held it in his hand: "You can say that this Wushuang grass, the stems and leaves are plump and in good condition, and it is the best material for refining 'Ning Yuan Dan', and it will be handed over to Uncle Baoyi, supplemented by other six-flavor herbs, at least three furnaces of high-grade Ning Yuan Dan can be refined." At that time, whether these pills will be used to strengthen the foundation and improve the cultivation of the junior disciples, or whether they will be taken to the Nanhai Heavenly Market in exchange for other useful things, it will be a boost to the Great Demon Tide ten years later. β
He Weiji thought about it a little calmly, and felt that Zhang Qiuchi's words were indeed very reasonable: "Senior brother is right, I am pedantic. β
Zhang Qiuchi smiled: "Senior Brother He, are you thinking in your heart, Senior Brother is very reasonable every time, why didn't I think of it?"
He Weiji was stunned: "Senior brother, how do you know?"
"Senior Brother He, you have been a beginner for almost thirty years, and you have been a disciple under Uncle Kongji for ten years, how can I not know you? It's a good thing that you don't have distracting thoughts, otherwise you won't be caught by Uncle Kongji, and pass on your Void Sword Dao, after all, the sword practice is the most heart-oriented, but after all, the demon tide of heaven and earth is a major event that all monks have to face, so they have to be cautious. Since you have the intention of getting rid of the demons, you should put more thought into the matter of the demon tide and think through many things. β
"Senior brother can save it. Although He Weiji doesn't have many eyes, he is by no means a stupid person, and the stakes are clear, so he immediately took out the jade box and picked these strange flowers and plants with Zhang Qiuchi.
Zhang Qiuchi stopped He Weiji again, and seeing He Weiji's puzzled gaze, he couldn't help but wonder: "I have picked most of the foreign grasses around here, and I have left a few of each, and if you do it again, you will be extinct." Even if the more the merrier, you can't scrape the ground. β
He Weiji looked around and couldn't help laughing: "Then let's change places." β
The two of them walked all the way along the river, bypassing a boulder, and what caught their eyes was a clear pool, the water surface was as flat as a mirror, and the breeze blew without a single ripple, as if the pool water was solidified.
The water of the pond is transparent to see the bottom, the bottom of the pond does not grow an inch of grass, there is no scale in the pool, and there is no water bird and toad frog on the water surface. There is only one white lotus in the whole small pool, the flower blooms with 36 petals and is crystal clear, and the water in the pool is much brighter with a slight fluorescence.
He Weiji knew at a glance that this white lotus was an extraordinary thing, and there was even a fairy aura in it, even in this rare and exotic grass all over the mountains.
And Zhang Qiuchi was taken aback when he saw this white lotus, and he involuntarily stopped, unable to take his eyes off it.
"Senior brother, what kind of flower is this? β
Zhang Qiuchi's words trembled slightly: "If I'm not mistaken, this is the Water Moon Heavenly Heart Lotus!"
"Water Moon Heavenly Heart Lotus?" He Weiji had never heard of.
"A kind of lotus flower that has become extinct in the living world, I have only seen it in the ancient books of the Tibetan Scripture Building, but I didn't expect to be able to see it here with my own eyes. Ordinary lotus flowers are just a summer withered glory, and this water moon Tianxin lotus is extremely long-lived, where the flowers bloom all things around the birth, legend every thousand years to grow a petal, this flower has 36 petals, which means at least 36,000 years. β
"Sizzleββ!" He Weiji gasped, not to mention what kind of heavenly treasure this Water Moon Heavenly Heart Lotus is, just this year, 36,000 years!
Among these three tribulations, there are the legends of eternity left after the feathering and ascension of the Streamer True Immortals; in the battle of exterminating demons, there are people who prosper and demons decline; there are Kaiyuan True Immortals who lead the Xuanmen to stabilize the living realm and establish a foundation for the ages; there are Heavenly Dao Sects that convene 2,300 sects from three continents and four seas, and the alliance with Ling Xiao sets the pattern of today's cultivation realm.
And all of this is just the time it takes for this Water Moon Heavenly Heart Lotus to grow thirty-six petals!
In the time of the three tribulations, how many changes in the living world, and how many Sendai powers are vertical and horizontal, even in the treasure house of the great sect giants, it is difficult to find these 30,000-year-old divine flowers and fairy grass-the age of the Heavenly Dao Sect is not as old as this white lotus!
He Weiji couldn't imagine what kind of uproar would be caused if this Water Moon Heavenly Heart Lotus was brought to the living world.
