Since the last autumn rain, Wu Shanyue has never gone to the beach to catch shrimp and crabs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info It's too cold, and Jin Luohua has already dissuaded her many times. In fact, the gift money that Jin Luohua gave her when she was married was enough for her to live peacefully for several years, she just didn't like to be supported and idle. Her personality is completely different from those pampered celebrities, she is tough and self-reliant, which is very flattering but also puzzling. After asking many times, intentionally or unintentionally, Jin Luohua had a general understanding of her childhood life. It turned out that her father, who was descended from the Poseidon line, died when she was one year old, and her mother, who was brought back by her father when he traveled to the mainland, had no roots in the Ryukyus, and was squeezed out by her father's wives and concubines, and cut off the family support early. She and her brother were raised by their mothers alone, and although they are of wealthy blood, they do not have the slightest habits of wealthy families.

Wu Shanyue no longer went to the seaside, but began to explore the desert south of the small city. She had heard early on that there was a precious medicinal herb called Cistanche in the desert, which was once an important source of income for local residents, but later the edge of the desert was designated as a private park for the city lord, and civilians were strictly forbidden to dig it, and this financial route was monopolized by the city lord's mansion. However, if you enter the desert for thirty miles, you will no longer be in charge of the city, and you can also dig up some wild cistanche, but unfortunately you have to cross the desert for thirty miles, and the harvest is unstable, and the advantage is not big compared with catching the sea, and basically no one is willing to set foot in it.

Wu Shanyue is an exception. Before dawn, she got up and walked out of the south city gate, shaking her head and following the black beans behind her. Outside the south gate is the sandy land, and within 30 miles are artificially planted Suosuo forests, and occasionally there are a few poplar trees, which are used to prevent wind and fix sand. Cistanche takes the root of Haloxylon as a parasitic point and burrows out of the ground next to Axon. Its rhizome resembles a mallet, slightly similar to ginseng, and is often used as a traditional Chinese medicine to tonify the kidneys and aphrodisiac in another world, and in this world of cultivation, it is the main medicinal material for several star power stimulating medicines. Cistanche in the plantation is naturally not allowed to be harvested, and there are also caretakers walking around in the forest. Wushan Yue must pass through the yellowed forest in search of wild cistanche.

A seven-year-old girl crossing a thirty-mile desert alone, even though it was on the edge of the desert, was an astonishing feat. Fortunately, this is an artificial woodland, and there are indeed no star beasts. Thirty miles away, but different, if you encounter a bouncing gerbil, it is hard to guarantee that it is a little monster of cultivation, if it is hostile to you, it will be very dangerous.

After walking for more than four hours out of the plantation, there are only wild saxons and red willows, and occasionally camel thorns and cacti plants, which are scattered and irregular, and may not be able to see a single plant for half a day. This is a real desert, and every step you take will be buried half a foot in the soft sand, and there is only a reckless desolation in front of you.

Wu Shanyue brought a day's water and dry food, first feasted with black beans, and then began to look for wild cistanche. Cistanche has only grows and clumps, sometimes you can't see a single plant for half a day, and sometimes you can dig a nest at once. Its stem is only a shallow head in the ground, and a small shovel is used to dig through the soil around it, digging along its stem all the way to the roots, and pulling up a whole plant. Wu Shanyue digs with a shovel, black beans with paws, and one person and one dog are like a race, half playing and half working, and running in the desert is a whole day.

It doesn't matter how much they harvest, they don't leave the plantation for ten miles, the area is relatively safe, but they often only dig a few plants in a hard day. If she digs less, Wu Shanyue will try her best to hide them close to her, after all, she will have to go through the Suosuo forest when she goes back, and God knows if those forest rangers will say that she stole Cistanche in the forest and confiscated all the things. Either way, she would hide from the rangers, and if she did, she would crouch behind the big shuttles, and take advantage of the dim sky to fool them. The black bean is also very well-behaved, it will observe the girl's actions and adapt to it, the girl will avoid strangers lightly, it will not make a little noise, and it hides itself well.

After such a long time, Wu Shanyue saved a bunch of cistanche like a hill. She kept the biggest and best for future potions, and sold the rest to pharmacies, and used some as rations for black beans.

Poor black bean has not eaten fresh bones for a long time, and has never been to the beach to catch crabs and fish, of course, it is not satisfied with only porridge and steamed buns every day, and has been actively looking for new deliciousness. Although Cistanche is not very tasty, the black beans can feel the majestic energy they contain, and occasionally steal a small plant, and there will be a strange power in the body. After eating, it likes to lie lazily under the sun, the sunlight seems to be much warmer than usual, as if it can directly enter its body, and secretly date with that strange power, a shallow warm current caresses the whole body, as if slowly changing its flesh and blood meridians. It's a much more refreshing feeling than gnawing on fragrant meat and bones.

The black bean fell in love with stealing it, but how could she hide it from the budget-conscious Wu Shanyue? She didn't mind treating it to something delicious, but it wasn't Cistanche, a precious medicinal herb for preparing cultivation potions. It's nothing short of outrageous. In order to prevent the stealing of black beans, Wu Shanyue specially bought fragrant chicken drumsticks for it to open meat, but the thief who ate the chicken thighs still slipped into the storage room as usual. Black beans are like drug addicts, who feel uncomfortable if they don't steal one or two bites every day. Wu Shanyue was still a little angry at first, but gradually got used to it and didn't pay much attention to it, but after a chance discovery, she began to take the initiative to feed Cistanche to black beans.

That time, they came across a huge cistanche plant, which was even thicker than Wu Shanyue's calves, and it was completely dug up and grew a little longer than her height. It's just that when Wu Shanyue was excited about this unprecedented harvest, the black bean shrugged its little nose and sniffed around in the depths of the sand pit, and it didn't take long for it to start digging frantically with its claws, as if there was some treasure hidden underneath, which made its blood boil even more than this cistanche. Wu Shanyue held Cistanche and watched curiously above the sand pit, and after a long time of dust, she was surprised to find a round blue bead at the bottom of the deep sand pit.

The bead was only the size of her thumb belly, round and transparent, and there was something wrapped in the center, which seemed to be a small fish, which made the bead look like a piece of blue amber, but Wu Shanyue knew that it was definitely not amber, but something called "Star Crystal", which was the star power essence condensed by the star beast!

Star beasts are different from human beings' cultivation methods, they lack the means to quickly absorb the power of the sun, moon and planets, and most of them rely on eating various heavenly and earth treasures to enhance their cultivation, or obtain the star power shared by human beings through contracts, but this kind of cultivation is not stable after all, and the lifespan of many star beasts is not as long as that of humans, so individual cultivation is often not as good as that of human beings. In order to reproduce their own race, some weaker star beasts have created a way to inherit star power, condensing the essence of star power into "star crystals" during the cultivation process, and after their own death, the star crystals are devoured by future generations, so that they can pass on the results of their cultivation to the greatest extent, accumulate from generation to generation, and turn weak into strong.

Wu Shanyue grew up in the Ryukyu Islands, where cultivators lived next to powerful sea star beasts, and she had naturally seen star crystals. There are star beasts in the desert, and it is not strange that the star beasts left the star crystal after death, the strange thing is that this star crystal does not belong to any land star beast, only the star crystal of the ocean star beast will appear blue. The center of the star crystal is wrapped in the miniature of the star beast to which it belongs, and it is a fish! The star crystal of a fish actually appears in the desert!

But Wu Shanyue didn't have time to delve into the source of the star crystal, and the foodie in the sand pit swallowed the star crystal into his stomach in one bite. Wu Shanyue was shocked, that thing cultivators or star beasts can enhance their cultivation if they eat it, but ordinary people and beasts will burst into the star mansion and die if they eat it. Although Heidou is a very smart puppy, he doesn't necessarily have the ability to cultivate. She dropped Cistanche and immediately jumped into the sand pit, picked up the black bean and went to break its mouth, and shouted eagerly: "Spit it out! Spit it out! This is what you can eat!" But that thing has already entered the belly of the black bean, where can it still be spit up? The black bean just "whined" a few times very aggrieved, and jumped out of the sand pit in three steps and two steps, and found a comfortable sand nest to bask in the sun.

Wu Shanyue climbed up from the sand pit with a cold face, stood beside it, staring at the foodie without blinking, and after two hours, he saw that it had no abnormal reaction, but was even more radiant, and then finally put his mind at ease, and finally knew that this thief who liked to steal Cistanche was not greedy, it was just the need for its cultivation. I don't know when this little thing has already embarked on the path of cultivation.

The small days of black beans are getting more and more moisturized. It has a lot of cistanche to eat, it can take a bite of this and a bite of that, it's all theirs, it's all theirs. It also has plenty of time to bask in the sun, and of course, it is actually cultivating in the name of basking in the sun. It still hasn't grown yet, but there is a force in its body that grows every day, from nothing, from a stream to a small river, and one day it will rush like a river and a sea.

It has not forgotten its mission, to protect the little girl from harm, but during this time, no one has come to look for Wushan Yue's moldy head, and it has a bit of a feeling that heroes are useless. After all, Lin Duan had spent money to hire someone to protect Wushanyue before, and some children no longer dared to provoke trouble after being taught a lesson, and some children did not dare to act rashly out of fear of Lin Dui's son-in-law. Jin Luohua often came to teach Wu Shanyue at night, and when she encountered a restless Xiaoxiao, she would not hesitate to take action, and give a little lesson, and slowly everyone around her knew that there was a mysterious master protecting the little girl, where would she dare to encourage the child to make trouble?

So the life of black beans was monotonous and happy, in addition to eating cistanche and basking in the sun every day, it was to follow Wushan Yue to the desert for a long journey to dig its rations. In a blink of an eye, it was the coldest time of the year, Wu Shanyue was afraid that it would be frozen, so she made a black cotton shoulder cover for it, and made a small basket for it with thatch, tied it with a rope and hung it on its back, and a small bottle of water could be placed in the basket for it to drink. Now the little thing is fully armed, and it seems to be a little more energetic when it walks.

On this day, a man and a dog were still looking for cistanche in the desert as usual, and after noon, it suddenly snowed. The snow was blowing one after another, and soon it was not over the surface of the feet, and it became very difficult to dig Cistanche again, and Wu Shanyue was also afraid that the road back to the city would not be easy, so she took the black beans and set foot on the road back to the city early.

I walked all the way through the snow, and it was almost dusk before I reached the center of the Suosuo forest. The forest was very quiet in the yellow and snow-white forest, only the sound of the girl and the puppy squeaking on the snow, but the black bean suddenly roared twice, ran forward and grabbed Wu Shanyue's trouser legs. Wu Shanyue was stunned, knowing that it was reminding herself to pay attention to her surroundings, and looked around vigilantly but found no one, at this time, Black Bean suddenly jumped in front of her, bent her legs and arched her back like a great enemy, grinning her teeth, and roaring at the snowy land in front of her.
