025. Picking Herbs (Part 1)

Huwa smiled and replied: "I am a person who travels far. I can't bring too many things with me. If I want everything I see, I will end up not being able to take anything away. Since I don't need them, let them grow well in the mountains.

Come on; there are other herb collectors in the mountains here, so this can be regarded as an opportunity for others."

Only then did he realize that what Xiaomiao and Uncle Dao were looking for were those elixirs, so of course the best in the world were the five-color sacred lotus and Langgan fruit. But he couldn't take out such things easily, as the mountain god had also warned

However, the elixir of immortality, including the beast tooth artifact, must never be revealed to others.

Moreover, Huwa's immortal elixirs are all integrated with the form and spirit, and have been refined by him into artifacts, which are much more precious than the immortal elixirs themselves. Even if he can return to the Taihao ruins, there will be no Taihao Emperor.

At that time, with the help of magic circle seals and great supernatural powers in the altar, those immortal elixirs could no longer be refined into artifacts that merged with form and spirit, so each piece was extremely precious.

On some special occasions, I have heard that there are masters in the world who have given others the elixir of immortality, but I have never heard of anyone giving away the divine weapon that they have refined and melted into the form and spirit, unless

Before ascending or passing away, the soul imprint is passed on to disciples or left in the sect, becoming one of the most precious inheritances.

Huwa could only sigh to himself: People in the world often travel across thousands of mountains and rivers, trying their best to find the things around them, because those things do not belong to them. - This is what the mountain god once said, and he finally understood the meaning.

. The elixir of immortality is the best example, because many mortals are willing to believe that if they get this kind of thing, they can really "not die".

Although Huwa would not take out the elixir of immortality that had been refined into a divine weapon and give it to these two strangers who had just met each other, he was also willing to help Xiaomiao and Uncle Dao. Although elixirs that replenish vitality and vitality are rare, they are also

Not only the five-color sacred lotus and Langgan fruit, but also deep in the mountains and fields full of vitality, if you are lucky, you may also be able to find them.

After Panhu knew what kind of elixir Xiaomiao and Uncle Dao were looking for, he spent a lot less effort. Before sunset that day, they finally found the elixir they wanted - King Five-flowered Ginseng.

Five-flowered ginseng is a perennial vine that grows in high places with a cold climate. The medicinal part is the rhizome with slender nodes buried underground. It is mainly used to treat qi deficiency and physical weakness, mental fatigue and depletion of vitality. Rattan

The flower on it has five petals, and the petals are gathered together at the base like a small bell. When the flower first opens, it is tender green, which is not easy to find, and it turns golden yellow in the end. Therefore, it is also called golden bell vine.

Golden Bell Vine can often be seen on the high mountains in this area, but the ordinary Wuhua Ginseng is not what Xiaomiao is looking for. But the one Panhu found can be called the King Wuhua Ginseng, and its growth period is at least more than thirty years.

It has become very rare in the mountains and wild fields. Its rhizome is more than a foot long, and its whole body is dark yellow. Once dug out, the medicinal fragrance will hit your nose.

Xiaomiao was surprised and happy when she saw this elixir. She carefully dug out the entire rhizome and put it into the medicine basket without breaking even the slender roots. Then she put one hand around Panhu's neck,

He patted its butt and kept praising it. Panhu was a little embarrassed by the praise, and finally twisted her body comfortably on Xiaomiao's chest.

At this time, Uncle Dao coughed a few times, as if to remind Xiaomiao something. Xiaomiao immediately realized that Panhu had found this five-flowered ginseng king. And Panhu was Huwa's dog, so it should belong to Huwa.

, at least she couldn't take them all away. Xiaomiao stood up embarrassedly and said: "We are all looking for the same medicine. I took away this five-flowered ginseng king. What reward should I give you?"

Huwa smiled and waved his hand: "You dug out the medicine, just keep it. Being able to travel together is fate. Obviously you need it urgently, so there is no need to be polite to me."

What he said made Xiaomiao feel even more embarrassed, so he winked at Uncle Dao. Uncle Dao was startled, and although he looked a little hesitant, he still took out something and handed it to Huwa: "Little brother, we also

I don’t want to take your elixir in vain. If you take it back, all you can exchange for it is this kind of reward. Please accept this."

Huwa was stunned. He also recognized this small thing, and he had a lot of it with him, but he didn't expect that someone would actually give him a dragon tree blood lipid. This thing is very precious. Its value is definitely not there.

The King of Five-flowered Ginseng only has different effects. It seems that Xiaomiao really needs the elixir of King of Five-flowered Ginseng, so she will give it as a gift in return.

Uncle Dao saw Huwa in a daze and thought he didn't recognize it, so he quickly explained: "You may have never seen this thing, but you should have heard of it. It is dragon tree blood fat. This is a specialty of Bashi Kingdom, and many monks

They have all received gifts from the king."

Huwa quickly took a step back and waved his hand: "It's not that I don't recognize it, but this thing is too precious. Its value is definitely more than a five-flowered ginseng king. How can I take such a good thing like you for no reason?...

Let's do this. If you continue to find medicinal materials that you don't need, let me pick them first. In fact, we have been traveling together this way, and you have not taken advantage of me."

Huwa resolutely refused to accept it, and Xiaomiao couldn't force it, so she had to sigh again: "Although the blood lipids of Dragon Tree are good, they are different from the efficacious effects of King Five-flowered Ginseng!"

After dark, Uncle Dao led the way to a camping place and lit a fire to rest for the night. Huwa noticed that Uncle Dao lit three fires at the same distance from each other and let everyone rest between the fires. It seemed like

This is the habit of small teams camping in the military formation. When Cunbao led his sergeants to pursue Huwa outside Shuangliu Village, they also lit bonfires like this when they spent the night in the mountains.

But Huwa didn't ask any questions. He took out his felt robe from the package and laid it out, then sat upright and adjusted his breathing. There was a spring not far from the campsite chosen by Uncle Dao, and there was a screen-shaped rock next to the spring that could block everyone's sight.

Before Xiaomiao rested, she went to the spring behind the rock to wash herself.

Huwa sat upright and seemed to be in a state of trance, while Panhu lay beside the fire and seemed to be asleep. In fact, they were all concentrating on their spirit. However, Uncle Dao and Xiaomiao walked out of the camp and stood by the distant spring talking quietly.

.

Xiao Miao sighed: "The Five-flowered Ginseng King found today should be used as medicine, but the effectiveness is still insufficient. We must at least find the Golden Bell Vine that has been growing for more than a hundred years."

Huwa, who was sitting still, was slightly surprised when he heard these words. Although Wuhua Ginseng is a perennial vine, it usually only grows for about ten years. Today, this King Wuhua Ginseng is very rare. It is Panhu

It took a lot of effort to find it. She wanted to find Wuhua Ginseng that was more than a hundred years old, but it was simply too difficult. It would be impossible to search the mountains and fields.

The reason why these elixirs are precious is not only because they have a long growth period, but also because they are more effective. It is also because some unknown changes have occurred in the natural growth process and they have broken through some of their own limits. Therefore, ordinary

Only the five-flowered ginseng can survive for so many years, so it also has more special magical effects.

Such elixir should not be used to treat ordinary injuries and illnesses. If it is an injury or internal injury, dragon tree blood lipid is actually a better thing to use. Since they don't need dragon tree blood lipid, it should not be used to save lives, but

It is to extend the life of people who are about to expire, so things that can replenish vitality are needed.

It is precisely this kind of thing that is the most rare in the world. Not to mention ordinary people, even monks with high realms need it very much. Unless they have taken enough, it will be ineffective in the end. Huwa sighed secretly, and then

I remembered what the mountain god once said——

"My child, the elixir of immortality you carry must not be revealed to others easily. And these artifacts fused into your body and spirit, even if they are not yet able to exert their true magical powers, can be used to protect yourself and help others. This time I have experienced many things in the world.

We must also bear witness to the joys and sorrows of life and death in the world."

Huwa has somewhat understood the meaning of these words. It seems that there is a person who is very important to Xiaomiao. His life is exhausted and his life is about to end. Ordinary medical methods are ineffective, because mortals are bound to die, and what can be cured is the disease.

Rather than life. But what Xiaomiao wants to do is to use these elixirs to extend his life before his vitality is completely exhausted, so that he can live as long as possible.

This is actually a kind of futility, but who in the world doesn't hope that he can live longer? On the way Huwa walked, although he was very willing to help the people he met, life and death are natural things in the world, he thought

It was impossible to control them, and some people were even killed by him with his own hands.

But Huwa was also very curious, who exactly was Xiaomiao trying to save? It should be noted that the deeper you go into the mountains, the more likely there is a place for that kind of elixir to grow, and the encounters on the road may be more dangerous. But Xiaomiao did not take the initiative to tell him,

Huwa did not ask further questions.

They left the camp the next day and continued to march deep into the mountains. When they came to a hill, Huwa stopped and said: "I can feel that the vitality and spiritual energy in the heaven and earth ahead are obviously very full, which should be more suitable for the growth of elixirs. We

You should go over there and look for it."

Uncle Dao smiled bitterly and said, "Son, haven't you been here before?"

Huwa nodded and said: "Yes, this is my first time coming here."

Uncle Dao: "No wonder you would say such things!"

Huwa asked in surprise: "Is there something weird in front of you?"

Uncle Dao: "It's nothing strange. There are indeed rare elixirs growing in the world. Almost everyone among the monks in Bashi Kingdom knows about it."

Xiaomiao also said: "Come with me, I will take you there to have a look and open your eyes... But that side is the forbidden area of ​​Bashi Kingdom, so you can only watch it from a distance on the cliff opposite."

Huwa and Panhu, who was equally curious, followed them down the mountain ridge and up the high slope. They turned a corner on the mountainside and saw a group of people standing on a high cliff not far away. They seemed to be of different shapes and sizes.

The monks all stood there and looked ahead.

Uncle Dao sighed: "Many people have come to Pengshan recently, and they are all here to collect medicine."

Xiaomiao also sighed: "I hope they can find a suitable elixir. With more people, the chances are always greater."

Uncle Dao shook his head and said: "It is better to rely on the various sects to ask for help than to search in the mountains and fields temporarily...Xiao Miao, you shouldn't come to join in the fun yourself."

Xiaomiao: "It's nothing for me to just wait for others to deliver the elixir to my door. I always feel that I should do something, otherwise I will have this cultivation in vain."

Xiaomiao was a collector of elixirs, and he actually hoped that other people in the mountain could also collect elixirs. This made Huwa feel a little strange and a little surprised, but he didn't have time to ask in detail, and while he was talking, several people had already walked up the cliff.

More than twenty people have gathered here, and everyone is casting curious, probing, wary or friendly looks.
