Chapter 18: A Secret Place in the Mountains

Although it was a bit troublesome to use the Flying Beast to return to the main peak every day, it did not affect the morning reading and study. Two months after catching the red-beaked golden feather vulture www.biquge.info, Nu Tian finally no longer had to rent the thousand-mile lark in the academy, but used his own red-beaked golden feather vulture. In order to repay the Zhang brothers, Nu Tian also brought back some cultivation exercises from the library for the Zhang family to practice.

The students of the academy have a tradition of raising disciples, so that they can train some of their own subordinates for their future officials. Ming Xinque was surprised that Nu Tian found his disciple so quickly, so he told him in detail about the academy's rules for students. Basically, the disciples can only rely on the students themselves to raise, and all the expenses come from the students themselves, and the academy will only provide some cultivation exercises for the students. If you want to cultivate resources, you can only occupy the student's own share and exchange it for the student's contribution. Therefore, Ming Xinqiao suggested that Nutian should not provide too many disciples in the early stage, otherwise it would hinder his cultivation progress.

At this time, except for the Zhang family, Nutian really didn't think about accepting more customers. But the competence of the Zhang brothers also made him deeply aware of the importance of doormen. If there were only his two grandchildren at this time, I am afraid that the "donation" of his own territory this year would not be fully paid, so he was very glad that the Zhang brothers came, and he regarded them as his own family in his heart.

"Uncle Ershan, have you walked all over the mountain this day?" asked Nu Tian curiously.

"How is it possible, we are just moving around the 'Dragon Gate City' and the 'Hiking Trail', this day the mountain is thousands of miles, how can we go all over!" Zhang Ershan replied with a smile.

"My Zhang family has been hunting demons on this Tianbu Mountain for generations, but I won't easily go beyond the familiar range, because this mountain is too dangerous! I still remember when I was young, our dream was to walk all over this Tianbu Mountain full of demon beasts!" Zhang Sanshan interjected.

"Thanks to Gongzi's blessing, this will soon be realized!" Zhang Ershan replied confidently.

"Hahaha!" the three laughed happily.

"Childe, don't send it!"

"Two uncles, have a good trip!" Nu Tian bowed to the two.

In order to get more blood trees, the Zhang brothers left the secret realm of Tianbu Mountain and went into the mountains and forests to look for them. Originally, Nu Tian also wanted to follow and see it, but his studies were important, and he was a newcomer like him who had just entered the school. Quietly watched as the two Zhang brothers were ready to go, entering the mountains and forests on the periphery of Tianbu Mountain, where demon beasts were rampant. He deeply remembered the other party's affection in his heart, and warned himself not to forget it easily.

"You're still quite bold, seventy acres of blood trees...... Even the 'Gongsheng' didn't dare to make such a bold attempt. The largest blood tree garden I've ever seen is only fifty acres!" Su Linglin, who was arranging the formation, looked at the returning Nu Tian and said appreciatively.

"It's really troublesome Senior Su!" Nu Tian chuckled and avoided the other party's topic and thanked him.

"This is the task of the academy, and it is natural to do enough things after receiving contribution points. But do you really just set up one 'Spirit Gathering Array'? You have three plots of land here, so why don't I help you lay out two more 'Spirit Gathering Arrays', and for the sake of you're a new student, I'll only accept your material contribution points." ”

"Senior, you're really joking! Grain seeds, medicine seeds, fish seeds, and tree seeds have been exhausted, if it weren't for the academy's rule that every freshman can get a 'Spirit Gathering Array' for clearing wasteland, I wouldn't be able to pay for these materials at all. Nu Tian replied with a wry smile.

"Look at the set-up here, you don't look like a poor man. There are more than a dozen riding beasts alone, and there is no shortage of treasures. If you're willing to sell, it should barely be enough for two Spirit Gathering Arrays!" Su Linglin looked back at the beast pen and proposed.

"These riding beasts were captured and raised by the two uncles of the Zhang family, I'm afraid this will have to be asked by the two of them before deciding!"

"Aren't they your guests?" asked Su Linglin in surprise.

"My two uncles are indeed my guests. ”

“......”

"Master Su, come and taste the old man's newly picked spiritual tea. At this moment, the old man came over with tea in his hand and offered it a little respectfully.

"Uncle, you're polite!" Su Linglin took the tea, tasted it gently, and couldn't help but praise: "Oh, this tea is very good!"

"I picked it up by chance from the mountains, and it seems that I can still get into it. The old man said happily.

"Uncle, you really know how to joke, this tea is a medium-grade spiritual tea, how can it not be in your mouth?"

"Su Gongzi likes it, then bring some back!" Seeing that Su Linglin liked it, the old man hurriedly walked into the house to load tea.

"Junior brother, you are really blessed!" Su Linglin drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and said to Nu Tian with a smile.

"The old man is sophisticated, naturally not comparable to my kid!" Nu Tian said politely.

"Grandpa, where did this tea come from?" After sending Su Linglin away, Nu Tian asked curiously.

"What do you think of this tea?" asked the old man with a smile.

"The tea is sweet and fragrant! I haven't drunk any tea, but I know that this tea is really good. Nu Tian said.

"You come with me!"

The old man took his grandson to the front of the waterfall by the lake, and walked into the waterfall from the side of the waterfall in Nutian's surprised eyes. When he followed, he found that the so-called road was narrow and slippery, and if he was not careful, he would fall into the lake, and he could not help but wonder how the old man had found this place. After entering the waterfall, it was pitch black, but the old man had already prepared the torches, so Nu Tian saw a deep cave. When the two walked into the cave, they found that the cliff wall of this cave had obvious traces of artificial excavation, which means that this is not a natural cave, but an artificial passage. After a long while, he finally came to the end, and then Nutian saw a huge karst cave that looked like day.

"Luminous Rock?" Seeing the light in the cave, Nu Tian couldn't help but look up at the top of the cave, and found that there was a faint light shining out of the rock formation, like starlight in the night sky. Because he had been reading a lot of Lingzhi's books recently, he immediately recognized that it was the "Luminous Rock" that was glowing in the cave.

Fluorescent rock is a mutated rock layer in the underground, which can provide a light source for dark underground cavities, and become a source of life for underground plants. Although this rock formation is scarce, it is not a particularly valuable resource. Except for cultivating some underground spiritual materials, the glowing rock can be said to be useless. But at this moment, seeing the fluorescent rock in such a secret place, Nu Tian couldn't help but be very interested in the things planted in the cave.

"This is a tea plantation!" Nu Tian couldn't help but be surprised when he saw a neat patch of tea trees planted in the cave.

"There is only this one tea tree in the cave, and the hut next to the cave entrance should be full of tea-making tools. I tried it, and the tea I made was barely drinkable. If there is a tea master, you should be able to make real high-grade spiritual tea!" said the old slave man as he walked into the cave and pointed to a half-old simple hut next to him.

"Grandpa, do you know what kind of spiritual tea this is?" Nu Tian couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw that his grandfather seemed to be familiar with everything here.

"I don't know, isn't your bamboo scroll able to consult all kinds of spiritual materials and spiritual objects?"

"Then I'll check it out!" Nu Tian hurriedly took out a bamboo scroll.

"Top-grade Lingcha 'Bright Green Yarn Heart'!" took out the bamboo scroll and carefully checked the records of the spiritual tea, and finally determined that the spiritual tea in this tea garden was actually the high-grade spiritual tea "Bright Green Yarn Heart".

"It turns out that this tea is called Yinglu Shaxin! are these trees too?" asked the old man who walked to the center of the tea garden and pointed to the three glowing tea trees.

"This is?" Nu Tian looked at the three tea trees that were obviously different, and immediately understood that these were probably the three most precious tea trees in the entire tea garden. After carefully checking the records about the green yarn heart, he exclaimed happily: "'Yingbi yarn heart', this is the best spiritual tea 'Yingbi yarn heart'! Grandpa, how did you find this tea garden?"

"This is my mother's tea plantation!" said the old man, looking at his grandson, calmly.
