Chapter 52 New knowledge on the roadside

Judging from what Qi Ningzhi has heard and seen, Shao Qingshan's spiritual energy and resources are naturally slightly better than those of small sects, but slightly inferior to those of medium sects.

But the advantage of Shaoqing Mountain is that it is small and refined, with fewer people. Shouxuan Youtu and the others really don’t have to worry about training resources.

The top sects in the world, such as Xuanji Sect, Shangqing Mountain, and Leyou Mountain, have mountains that stretch for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of miles. Although the land is vast and rich in resources, they also have many disciples, and they are divided into inner and outer, direct sides, and mountain tops.

Factions may not be able to get much of what is allocated to each disciple.

This Shaoqing Mountain is located at a corner of the east coast. Although there is a medium-sized spiritual vein on the mountain and an accompanying small blue sky stone vein, it feels a bit useless to the various sects.

The small and medium-sized sects have always been afraid that it is a branch of Shangqing Mountain and dare not come to seize it. They also do not have the ability to break the mountain-protecting formation. The large sects also feel that this small Shaoqing Mountain cannot solve the needs of many disciples in the sect, and it is not enough.

Why bother to offend Shangqingshan by going to so much trouble for this small mountain gate?

Everyone in Shangqingshan's own sect also knows that Shaoqingshan has some good things, but this is not enough to be coveted. After all, this place has the responsibility of taking care of the guards, and it is far outside the sect, so it is easy to be ignored by the masters.

Even forgotten.

Ordinary disciples are not qualified to take charge of Shaoqing Mountain, but for elite disciples, they cannot compete for opportunities in the secret realm or the favor of their teachers. Who would want to come to this branch from afar and be exiled in disguise?

It was also Ling Yan who became discouraged on the path of cultivating Taoism. In the past, he and his master, Zhenxin Zhenjun, had such great fame and merit that they obtained this clever sect.

Therefore, Master Ling and his disciples were able to defend the mountain with only a few people and a large mountain-protecting formation. It is rare to see such a clear mountain!

Qi Ning sighed slightly in his heart. His master, who was so arrogant among his peers, had such a heart-to-heart relationship with this half-wasted Master Ling Yan. He thought about how amazing and talented Shiraishi must have been back then.

The sound of "black cloud" brought out many old and new thoughts, but within a few breaths, all kinds of thoughts had already rolled through Qi Ning's mind.

He looked up and down the hillside for a few times, and then thought: "If I were allowed to live in Shaoqing Mountain for a long time and practice Taoism here, would I be willing?"

Seeing Qi Ningzhi hesitating at the entrance of Huangfeng Col, Youtu thought that he was conceited about his cultivation and was not willing to hang around on the periphery.

Although when Qi Ningzhi first came here, she had pettyly despised him and his inconspicuous master, but after getting along with him for a few days, she felt that this senior brother was actually quite good, and she already regarded him as one of her own.

If you accidentally go in and get injured or something, Master Yu Zhifei will not be able to explain it easily.

Yougao has always been good-tempered towards his own people, so he persuaded her gently:

"With Brother Qi's cultivation, there is no problem in entering Nanyu Valley. It's just that the terrain there is complicated. Brother Qi, you are unfamiliar with it after all, and some monsters are very difficult to deal with. If you want to go, Brother Qi, wait until you are older."

Senior brother and the others are free, or Hei Yun'er comes back to suppress the formation, we can go in and hunt some monsters together."

"Today we are going to help you collect some things for the New Year, so let's turn in another direction first!" As he said that, the young man pointed upwards with his hand: "There are a lot of cedar trees on that slope, and the red-feathered pheasants like to eat them.

You can catch a lot of cedar pine nuts this season!"

She described her as still childish, with a soft-spoken and gentle voice, a pair of beautiful eyes with a bright smile, and a look of sincere solicitation for advice on her face, which really made people unable to bear to refuse.

When Qi Ning first saw the senior brothers, everyone looked up to the little girl, thinking that she was very pampered. Unexpectedly, these days, although Xiao Gao is quite happy to enjoy the support of the senior brothers, she is not arrogant because of the favor.

That's quite reasonable. Just like this, seeing that he seemed to be hesitant just now, I went out of my way to explain it to him nicely.

Qi Ningzhi didn't say anything and just smiled at Youji to show that he understood.

Over there Shou Xuan has come over and taken You Tuo's hand: "There are many rocks on this mountain, please pay attention."

Youtu felt in her heart that she was actually walking very steadily, and that she only fell down when she was a child! But Brother Bago was so kind, so he couldn't brush her off, right? So he obediently let Shouxuan lead her, and then turned around and nodded slightly to Qiningzhi.

With a signal, the three of them headed up the hillside together.

Shou Tuo and You Tuo led the way, and one of Qi Ning followed behind. You Tuo did not ignore him at all, and kept pointing to the spiritual grass between the stones on the ground with his free hand:

"Brother Qi, be careful not to step on this wormwood tree. It smells bad! It's smoked grass and it's very fragrant. Pick two branches and put them in the house. You'll feel better immediately after smelling it!

...This is Zhuyu. I didn’t feel hungry after eating it for two or three days! Last time, I thought it was wild leeks. I pinched a handful and found them tender and sweet, so I ate a few leaves. As a result, I didn’t want to eat for several days.

But Auntie Pearl Diver is very anxious!"

Shou Xuan quickly followed up: "I remember that time! Later, I found Shatang fruit to appetize you, and you wanted to eat again!"

Youtuo rolled his eyes:

"The one you brought first was the danmu fruit, okay? That fruit is also very filling. I ate two of your fruits and didn't eat for three days. Have you forgotten?"

Qi Ningzhi suppressed a smile and quickly looked up the slope, pretending to be searching for the Zhu Yu Jin Pheasant with all his strength.

Shouxuan touched his head sarcastically and tried to regain his composure: "That was because I got confused for a moment, and then I found Shatang Guo, wasn't it?"

You Tuo thought to himself: "I haven't eaten for eight or nine days at that time. The effects of Zhu Yu and Dan Mu have already expired, so of course I will be hungry!" But seeing Bage's slight embarrassment, he couldn't bear it, so he

Swallowed the words back.

"Brother Qi, look at that little red tree, it's the red tree."

Qi Ningzhi looked in the direction of the young twig's finger. Sure enough, there was a red tree as tall as a person. The whole body was light crimson. Apart from the slightly conspicuous color, there was nothing magical about it. The leaves had withered and there were still dozens of knots on the branches.

A small, bright red fruit.

"Danmu and Shatang are somewhat similar. In fact, it is easy to confuse them. But Danmu does not grow very big, and Shatang is taller. The slightly darker red one is Zhufan. The raw fruit is very astringent and can only be eaten when it is ripe. It is soft and sweet.

Yes, it’s especially good after frost. Do you think its leaves are prettier than maple leaves? My pearl-picking aunt likes to eat these cranberry fruits. I’ll pick a few.”

…

Youji pointed out the plants and trees to Qi Ningzhi along the way. Some of them he knew, but some of them he really didn't know the names of.

It's not that he is ignorant, but that these spiritual plants are just different from ordinary plants with the word "spiritual" in them, and there is really nothing "spiritual" about them.

It may even be a special kind of mortal grass, which also grows in some mortal realms, and is discovered by some knowledgeable mortals and treated as a treasure.

But in the eyes of the monks, these grasses cannot be used as medicine and have no special value. Didn't you listen to the young grass? They can just "fill the stomach".

Therefore, it is not even included in spiritual plant classics such as "Xianfang Lu" and "Lingcui Supplements".

In their daily practice, the monks didn't even bother to stop for these weeds. They didn't see any for sale in the market. Without them, no one needed them, so giving them away for free seemed like they were taking up space.

The scenery on Shaoqing Mountain is great. I recommend giving two tickets...
