Chapter 5 Green Vine Spirit Fruit
Cheng Ziming chuckled and looked at Wen Pearl with encouraging eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wen Pearl hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Some people say that this temple was built by the ancient immortals and used to cultivate the disciples of the sect. I think it makes sense, and I understand why the temple is giving us a mission. ”
Wen Coral smiled bitterly: "The little girl also heard that there is also a saying that this temple is a playground for Gu Immortals to compete. This explains why there are so many crises in the small world. Because the mana of the Gu Immortals is much higher than that of modern immortal cultivators, their game of playing like a family is a test of life and death for us. As for the statement of the place of trial, although there is some truth, it cannot explain why it is so dangerous in the small realm, after all, the purpose of testing disciples is not to kill disciples. ”
As she spoke, Wen Coral glanced sideways at Wen Pearl. Wen Pearl didn't dare to contradict, so she hurriedly got down, but secretly stuck out her tongue and grimaced.
Cheng Ziming looked at it and smiled secretly, guessing that Wen Pearl was a little unhappy with Wen Coral's refutation, so he relieved the siege and said: "What Miss Coral said is good, but what Miss Pearl said also makes some sense. Perhaps when the Gu Immortals gave their disciples a trial, they had elders secretly take care of them, so there was no mortal danger. Now that the temple has fallen into the hands of the demon clan, they can't get in if they want to, how can they arrange people to protect us secretly. ”
Wen Coral said yes lightly, smiled and nodded implicitly. Wen Pearl also poked her head out and smiled at Cheng Ziming. Cheng Ziming hurriedly asked another question about the holy card, and Wen Coral answered them one by one very patiently. The three of them talked and laughed as they continued to walk towards the distant woods.
According to the instructions of the holy tablet, this place is a vast land called Nagajiwara in the Five Elements Spirit Realm. According to the landform, it can be divided into several areas: dry grassland, shrub forest, green forest and dead wood forest. What these places have in common is that they all have the same kind of green vine growing, and this vine winds and spreads on the ground branches, most of which are surprisingly long. There is often a spiritual fruit called "green vine fruit" on the vine. This fruit can only be produced by green vines that are more than ten years old, and the newly produced fruit is turquoise, hard and small, and covered with a layer of appearance. The flesh is also turquoise, bitter in taste, and slightly toxic. Every 10 years, the fruit grows a little longer, and it is not until the fiftieth year after fruiting that the fruit officially matures.
The fluff of the skin of the ripe green vine fruit is all shed, the skin is soft and pink, and the flesh is juicy, the color is deep red like blood, and the smell is rich and fragrant. In addition, after ripening, the green vine fruit will not fall off the vine branches, but will continue to absorb the nutrients transported by the vine, and with the increase of time, it will be more delicious and mellow. After ripening, the green vine fruit can be taken directly to increase qi and blood and improve cultivation. It is even better if it is made into wine.
Both the green wood dolphin and its natural enemy, the blue-tailed eagle, like to eat this green vine fruit. However, the blue-tailed eagle's habitat is located on the cliffs on the outer edge of the dry meadows, where the vines are slender and difficult to bear fruit. In the shrublands next to the dead meadows, the green vines produce only very small fruits and are very sparsely distributed. Only in the green wood forest farther away, the green vine branches are old vines, which can not only produce dense green vine fruits, but also have large fruits, mellow flesh, and better medicinal effects.
It's just that the dense branches and leaves in the green wood forest are not conducive to the flight of the blue-tailed eagle, so the green vine fruits in the ripening period are actually occupied by the green wood dolphin.
As for the Dead Wood Forest mentioned in the mission name, the Holy Tablet does not specify it, but only vaguely states that it is located beyond the Aoki Forest further away.
Cheng Ziming's temple mission this time, in addition to hunting the green wood porpoise, he may get the temple reward, this green vine fruit is also one of the additional rewards, and everyone has a share. Anyway, this green vine fruit grows on the branches, as long as you pick it.
It's just that Cheng Ziming has never seen the introduction of such spiritual fruits as green vine fruit in any classics, and then thinks of some rumors about the small world, so he can't help asking: "I heard that the small world is rich in spiritual things that have been extinct in the outside world, could this green vine fruit be one of them?"
Wen Pearl hurriedly replied, "The little girl also thinks so." So it's rare to meet, so it's good to pick more. ”
Wen Shan nodded and smiled: "That's true, but if you delay the time to hunt the green wood dolphin and can't get the temple reward, then the small loss will outweigh the loss." ”
Cheng Ziming saw that Wen Pearl was wilting, smiled secretly in his heart, and comforted her: "Anyway, I have no intention of competing for the temple reward, and I have time to pick fruits." When the time comes, I will give some to the two girls, and it will be regarded as a reward for answering questions and solving doubts, how about it?"
As soon as the words fell, Cheng Ziming saw that Wen Pearl had changed his listless appearance just now, and a smile immediately broke out in his clear eyes, and he felt even more funny in his heart.
At this time, I heard Wen Coral laugh again: "That's really good." Thank you Cheng Gongzi for your kindness. The two of us sisters were lucky this time, thanks to the blessing of Cheng Gongzi, not only got a simple task, but also had an additional spirit fruit reward. Now Cheng Gongzi is willing to help us pick spirit fruits, and it is really a blessing for our sisters to meet Gongzi. ”
"Oh, how did Miss Wen expect that this mission would be easy? Moreover, is it because of the following?" Cheng Ziming raised his eyebrows, his curiosity rose, and he hurriedly asked.
Wen Shanshan smiled and said, "The little girl has only heard of it slightly, I heard that there is a wonderful thing about this temple, and the spirit disciples who entered the first three times are all novices. However, any task assigned to a novice will not be too difficult or dangerous. Our sisters have entered the altar for the fifth time, and Cheng Gongzi is the first time, so everyone thanks to Gongzi, the task accepted this time should be relatively easy. ”
"Oh, I'm a little confused about that. Cheng Ziming pondered for a moment, frowned, and said: "Take the name of this mission, this mission is to clean up the green wood dolphins outside the dead wood forest. But why do you want to emphasize that it is the green wood porpoise outside the dead wood forest that is the target of the mission? Is it because there are no green vine fruits growing in the dead wood forest? Or is it because there are no green wood porpoises in the forest at all?"
"Or is there any danger in the dead wood forest that we can't handle?" Wen Pearl suddenly interjected, her clear eyes flashing and looking at Cheng Ziming.
Cheng Ziming smiled slightly, and said: "Also, the standard for ranking this mission is the number of gold and silver rings on the tail of the last green wood dolphin. The one with the silver ring on the tail is the demon dolphin of the spirit gathering period, which is equivalent to the cultivation of the immortal cultivator's qi refining period. From this point of view, the Aoki Dolphin with nine silver rings on its tail is the cultivation of the ninth layer of Qi refining, and if its cultivation increases, it will give birth to a golden ring.
That is to say, the Aoki Dolphin with the Golden Ring is a powerful demon beast in the Ning Dan Period, and it is a condensed Demon Pill as powerful as an immortal cultivator in the Foundation Building Period!
