Chapter 1 Contemplation Grass
This is a quiet mountain village, the morning sun has just sprinkled on the earth, last night's dew is still on the grass and trees, reluctant to fall, the village is faintly heard a little lively sound.
"Uncle Qin, early"
"Aunt Li, morning"
On the path in the village, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy carrying a bamboo basket greeted the people on the side of the road politely.
"Cao Qian, are you going to the back mountain to collect medicine?", Qin Bo touched the long white beard under his chin, squinted his eyes and asked kindly.
"Yes, Uncle Qin, grandpa said that he wanted to drink the wine brewed by the Condensing Grass and the Heavenly Spirit Fruit. Hehe", Cao Qian replied with some embarrassment as he touched his head. He can't ignore his grandfather's request.
"Hehe, good boy, then you go first, these two things are not easy to find. Qin Lao smiled and shook his head, he couldn't know much more about Cao Qian and his grandfather, it was a shame that he could have such a filial grandson.
"Hehe, Uncle Qin, then I'll go first" Cao Qian also knew that these two things were not easy to find, and he didn't delay, so he said goodbye to Uncle Qin and walked towards the back mountain.
The mountain behind the village is a large and boundless canyon, from the mouth of the valley is shrouded in a layer of light mist, which does not disperse for a long time, although the valley is ventilated, but that layer of light mist seems to have spirituality, not a step beyond the thunder pond.
Cao Qian stopped outside the valley for a moment, and then walked in without looking back. The undispersed fog in the canyon has long become a spectacle, but he didn't go to his heart, after all, he hasn't come to this place once or twice, although he hasn't explored this mysterious canyon, but he has already mastered the area of about twenty miles in the outer layer.
Cao Qian walked towards the valley with a familiar car, and the further he went, the heavier the fog in the valley became, and the visibility was only a few tens of meters away. Cao Qian didn't feel any discomfort, he was used to this kind of environment for a long time, after looking around, he was ready to start working, after all, this task was a bit difficult.
Tranquility grass has the effect of concentrating and invigorating qi, which can regulate the smooth breath of the human body and relieve mental fatigue, so as to regulate the functions of the human body to achieve the effect of prolonging life.
Heavenly Spirit Fruit, I heard that it is only found in places with rich aura, which contains a rich and pure aura of heaven and earth, but it is a good thing to nourish and wash the body.
Cao Qian shook his head and walked deeper, the outer layer was already too ripe for him to be ripe anymore, and the places where there were Condensing Grass and Heavenly Spirit Fruit had already been scavenged by him. In order to find it, it seems that you have to go deeper than you have ever set foot in, although it is a little dangerous. But he believes that as long as he doesn't go too deep, he believes that nothing will happen. After thinking about it, Cao Qian walked deeper step by step.
“...... 99,100。 ”
Cao Qian stopped his pace, 100 steps, he didn't dare to go far, the dense fog around him became even thicker, and the visible field of vision dropped sharply from tens of meters to a few meters at some point, and if he went further, I was afraid that he would not be able to go back.
"Woohoo"
Cao Qian sniffed, and a pleasant fragrance greeted him.
"It's ...... Judging from this fragrance, it seems that it is at least a hundred years old. ”
Cao Qian's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but then he frowned a little frustratedly, judging from the richness of the fragrance, it should be dozens of meters in front, but even if it is a small tens of meters, it is an existence that Cao Qian does not dare to surpass.
"It's all here, you can't give up halfway!"
Cao Qian was a little hesitant in his heart, what he was looking for was right in front of him, and he was really unwilling to give up like this.
"Oh!
Cao Qian slapped his forehead, hurriedly untied the bamboo basket on his back, took out a rope, tied one end to a big tree beside him, and tied the other end firmly around his waist.
"That should be foolproof."
After making all these preparations, Cao Qian carefully walked deeper with the bamboo basket on his back. Holding a wooden stick in his hand that he picked up out of nowhere, he is in response to a possible sudden change.
As he went deeper, the dense fog around him had blocked more of his vision, and his visibility was only about a meter away, if he hadn't felt the thicker fragrance of the condensing grass, he really wanted to turn around and leave immediately.
"Ah, that's ......"
Ever since he stepped here, he had always felt a sense of unease in his heart. Just when Cao Qian's patience was about to be worn out and he was about to give up, a small green grass appeared in front of him.
"Ningshen grass is divided into its medicinal age according to its own color, the tender green one is generally only a few decades old, the light green one is generally a few decades, the pure green is generally a few hundred years old, and this whole body is green, I'm afraid it will be at least a thousand years old!"
Cao Qian has followed his grandfather to collect herbs since he was a child, and he is naturally familiar with a good understanding of herbal medicine, but he understands what the thousand-year-old Condensing Herb represents, which is already a veritable elixir! Its effect is probably incomparable to tens of thousands of hundred-year-old Condensing Herbs, and this is no longer a gap that can be made up by quantity.
"Whew"
Cao Qian exhaled deeply, it was so shocking, he never expected that he would be able to discover such a heaven and earth spiritual treasure in less than a hundred meters deep.
He approached cautiously, took out a black cloth from his arms, and gently covered it on the thousand-year-old condensing grass, he had been exposed to herbs since he was a child, and naturally knew that the elixir of thousands of years generally had a certain spirituality. If you don't make any preparations, you can only get water from a bamboo basket, and you won't get anything.
Although the Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure has a certain spirituality, it still maintains a plant-like habit, frantically absorbing the spiritual power of Heaven and Earth during the day, and falling into a dormant state at night, that is the best time to dig it up.
And the reason why Cao Qian covered the Condensing Grass with a black cloth was to paralyze its spiritual sense.
Cao Qian slowly squatted down, carefully planed up the roots and soil of the Condensing Grass, and put it into the bamboo basket behind him.
"Whew"
After doing all this, he let out a long breath, the whole process, it seems to be a matter of planing, but the ghost knows how much pressure he is under, those understandings of the Condensing Grass are all seen from the book, he has never actually operated it, if something accidentally went wrong just now, then he has no place to cry if he wants to, you must know that this kind of opportunity can be encountered but not sought.
Cao Qian wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, lifted his spirits, and was ready to drag the rope back with a spring breeze on his face, although this time although the Heavenly Spirit Fruit was still missing, but this thousand-year-old Condensing Grass alone was far from the expected harvest.
"Huh??"
Just as he was about to go back, he suddenly found that the other end of the rope, which was originally tied to the tree, appeared in his hand.
"This ......"
Cao Qian was stunned for a moment, what is the situation?
The cold sweat that kept breaking out on his forehead showed that Cao Qian was not in a calm mood at the moment.
"I remember...... It's ...... direction."
Cao Qian struggled to recall the direction he came from, and then walked cautiously in one direction, he didn't want to be trapped here like this.
"Ah, this is the tree that tied the rope just now??"
Cao Qian happily looked at the big tree in front of him that was thick and thin, and he believed that this was the tree that he had tied the rope just now. Looks like I'm able to get out. Thinking of this, Cao Qian quickened his pace and walked towards the big tree.
"Whew"
A gust of wind blew, and the already thin sea of fog suddenly changed. When the sea of fog calmed down, Cao Qian found that he had somehow come to another strange place.
