Chapter 28 [Collection of Herbs]

Seeing that Zhou Dashan had really taken it, but he was really unwilling to be dragged down by the errands of herbs, Liu Zhuo made up his mind and took out one of the fire spirit stones from his arms and sent them to Zhou Dashan and said, "This is what junior brother just received in the morning. Please accept it."

Zhou Dashan showed a faint smile and smiled and said, "You are so polite, you can kill me with me."

That being said, Zhou Dashan also "politely" put Liu Zhuo's spirit stone into his arms, and said casually: "Oh, the share of collecting twenty kilograms of spiritual medicine every day is indeed a little heavier, so let's reduce it by half. Brother Liu, do you think?"

Liu Zhuo secretly scolded Zhou Dashan in his heart that this was not a thing. Even if it was ten kilograms of spiritual medicine, it would be impossible to collect it in one day. It was not the wild flowers and weeds on the roadside. Even in places like Wuzhi Peak, the spiritual medicines produced are very rare.

"Senior Brother Zhou, isn't this a little too much?" Liu Zhuo couldn't help but question.

Zhou Dashan also smiled a little embarrassedly. After all, he took the benefits but still cured others, which was really not kind enough.

Zhou Dashan said in a sincere tone: "Junior Brother Liu, you can't blame me for giving you weight. I'm just someone entrusted me. I wonder if you know a junior brother named Li Kang in the inner sect?"

After hearing this, Liu Zhuo immediately understood everything. It must be Li Kang who interfered in order to revenge himself.

In fact, Li Kang did give Zhou Dashan two low-level spirit stones. Zhou Dashan agreed to help because of his own inner sect.

However, for Zhou Dashan, he was too lazy to pay attention to the hatred between Li Kang and this junior brother Liu. For him, as long as someone comes to pay filial piety to the spirit stone, he didn't think it was wrong to disclose this information to Liu Zhuo.

Zhou Dashan lacks talent and only has inferior spiritual roots. If he wants to cultivate to a higher level or even enters the foundation-building stage, he needs a large amount of spirit stones to make up for his lack of talent.

Therefore, Zhou Dashan was also thinking about it. He felt that the share of work left to Liu Zhuo is more serious now. The next time when the registered disciples distributed spirit stones, Liu Zhuo would not be able to deliver the spirit stones to him obediently?

At this time, Liu Zhuo saw that there was no room for recovery for the collection of herbs. Although he was annoyed, he had to accept the job. He gave up and turned around and left.

At the same time, Liu Zhuo also deeply understood: in the world of immortal cultivation, strength determines everything!

After leaving the Danfang, Liu Zhuo went straight out of the courtyard and ran towards the back mountain.

Because the location of the herb collection was specially divided into "Spiritual Medicine Valley", according to the share set by Zhou Dashan for him, he would not be able to come out for a while, so Liu Zhuo still thought that he would take the jar of wine with him to take some insurance.

After going to the back mountain to dig out the wine jar and returning to Tengyun Village, Liu Zhuo received a shovel, medicine basket, and special waist-bar cards from the warehouse for collecting spiritual medicine.

Then, Liu Zhuo and nearly 100 disciples who were also responsible for herb collection came to the east side of Tengyun Village, outside a valley surrounded by hazy mist.

According to other old disciples, this spiritual medicine valley was set up by the masters of the Five Mountains Sect at that time, and the concentration of spiritual energy in it was several times higher than that of the outside world, thereby stimulating the growth of various spiritual medicines.

At the entrance of Lingyao Valley, a blue-clothed disciple was specifically responsible for the guard. Liu Zhuo and others took out their waist cards before they were allowed to enter.

As soon as they entered the Lingyao Valley, the disciples hurriedly dispersed, and they all came and went in a hurry.

After all, no one can guarantee that they can collect a rated amount of spiritual medicine. It is not possible to collect herbs and use chopping wood. There is no reward for hard work. Sometimes it depends on a little luck and the mastery of the growth habits of spiritual medicines.

Liu Zhuo had no experience in the job of herbal medicine, so he had to hold a familiar old disciple and ask for advice.

The disciple who was questioned was a young man in his twenties and had been doing miscellaneous work in the medicinal hall for ten years. "The Age of Eternal Life" has also been practicing at the top of the second level, and breaking through the third level is about to break through. According to him, as long as he can break through to the third level, he can apply to become an outer disciple and go down the mountain to help the sect manage their business.

For most of the registered disciples of the entire Five Mountains Sect, most of their dreams are just like this.

After asking for advice, understanding the precautions for collecting herbs and the distribution locations of several kinds of spiritual medicines, Liu Zhuo thanked the senior brother in front of him.

The old disciple also smiled kindly, then tapped his toes and rushed out more than two meters away. He jumped several times in a row, then climbed up the steep rock on the side and disappeared from Liu Zhuo's sight.

"No wonder I'm allowed to go down the mountain after practicing "Eternal Life" to the third level. Such skills are far more powerful than ordinary martial arts masters." Liu Zhuo muttered to himself.

Then, he determined the direction and walked towards the depths of the Lingyao Valley.

The outside of this Lingyao Valley seems small, but in fact there is a huge space inside, from east to west, it is 800 miles away, and it is divided into three parts.

The outer part grows all the spiritual medicines that are less than ten years old. The three-leaf fruit and the granular grass that Liu Zhuo wants to pick are on this layer.

The medicine that grows in the middle layer is within fifty years of age and needs to cross a very high cliff. The registered disciples are not qualified to go in and collect, nor have the ability to go in. Only inner disciples can enter with the permission of the elders.

The most central area of ​​the Spiritual Medicine Valley is also the eye of the entire spiritual gathering array. It is the place where the earth's spiritual energy is the strongest. All the heavenly and earth treasures that have been growing for hundreds of years or even hundreds of years of medicine are under special bans. Only disciples with cultivation above the Foundation Establishment Stage are qualified to enter.

However, even the outermost place is still rugged with rocks and dangerous terrain, making it extremely difficult to walk, while most of the spiritual medicines grow on mountain cliffs or corners, which are very difficult to find.

According to the senior brother, the Grass Grass and the Three Leaf Fruit are both spiritual medicines that like yin and are widely distributed in the Spiritual Medicine Valley. As long as you look for them in various dark corners, you can always find some traces.

Fortunately, Liu Zhuo had seen the appearance of three-leaf fruit and granite grass in the herb collection hall. After walking for more than ten miles of mountain road in a row, he finally found a herb three-inch tall and bright green with bright leaves in the dark.

"This is the Grain Grass."

Liu Zhuo was delighted and observed a little. He saw that the Grain Essence Grass had extracted three tender leaves. When he held it in his hand, he could clearly feel a strong water-based spiritual energy. This shows that the Grain Essence Grass is at least three years old.

Liu Zhuo's comments on Tiezhu that Gu Ling Dan is the most common elixir in the Qi training period. Although it is very precious to low-level monks, the requirements for the age of the elixir are not high when refining. Anyone who extracts two young leaves, that is, the Grain Grass that are more than two years old can be used as medicine.

Then, Liu Zhuo carefully pulled out the whole grain of grass, put the grain of grass in his hand and weighed it. Liu Zhuo couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Just picking this grey grass, I walked a mountain road of more than ten miles. I wanted to get enough of the five kilograms required by Zhou Dashan, but at least a hundred grey grass would have to meet the requirements.

However, when Liu Zhuo looked at the wet mud at the roots of the grain essence in the bamboo basket, such a thought suddenly arose in his mind.

"Why don't I try to plant elixirs in a wine jar?"
