A normal herbalist should carefully pick blue frost grass, and then carefully maintain the local ecology and mark it, hoping that new blue frost grass will grow here next time.
This is the correct way to open the medicine.
Who will take the road of despair?
Unless, this person doesn't want Luoyue City to refine the Awakening Pill at all.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, are you saying that this is the work of a demonic cultivator?" Yun Haitang suddenly reacted and his eyes widened.
That moment connected everything.
With her rich experience in collecting herbs, she had already seen that the ecology here had been damaged before Chen Ping reminded her.
But she subconsciously thought that the herbalist did it accidentally.
Unlike Chen Ping, who first speculates on everything with malice.
Thinking of this, Yun Haitang took a picture of the righteousness charm and carefully observed the subtleties of the surrounding demonic energy.
Immediately, he looked solemnly and said:
"The demonic energy remaining on the leaves is indeed different from the demonic energy in the air. It has the aura of a demonic cultivator. It seems that it is indeed the work of a demonic cultivator."
As the former leader of the Demon-Slaying Hall, she has mastered many methods to identify the presence of demon cultivators.
Identifying demonic energy is one of them.
...This skill is really good. I can only rely on guesswork, but Yun Haitang can find solid evidence... Chen Ping approved in his heart.
…I will also travel with Yun Haitang in the future.
He looked at the ecology again:
"The damaged vegetation has withered, and it looks like it has been there for a while."
In other words, the probability of the demonic cultivator appearing in this area again may be low.
Chen Ping looked up at the sky.
Weighing the left and right, he said:
"In this way, let's search separately, which will be more efficient. Use this southward line as the central line. You and I should try not to be too far away from the central line. If we encounter danger, try to make as much noise as possible. This way we can Being noticed by another person. Meet here in an hour. How about this?"
It is necessary to investigate the situation of spiritual plants in this area as soon as possible.
If it really doesn't exist anymore, then you need to find another place.
Now is spring, which is the peak season for collecting herbs.
There must be many monks collecting herbs.
Everything needs to be done quickly.
"Okay." Yun Haitang agreed.
After taking a few steps, he turned around again:
"be careful."
"Same for you." Chen Ping nodded.
Watching Yun Haitang disappear into the forest, he turned around and headed towards the west side.
Continuing to push a stick of incense to the west, Chen Ping, with the help of the cloud-winged bird, once again found a nest of the fern.
Different from the first nest, this time I was lucky, and there were actually four ferns in this nest.
The same as the first nest, the growing place of this nest is also very hidden, located on a cliff, behind a big rock.
If there is no cloud-winged bird, it is really difficult to find it.
So we walked some distance, but unfortunately we didn't find the third nest.
On the contrary, I once again saw several places where the spiritual plants had been picked. As long as they were the growth points of blue frost grass and warm vine, the ecology was destroyed without exception.
As for other spiritual plant growth points, the plants were only picked and removed, and the ecology was not damaged. The growth of these spiritual plants was probably picked by other righteous monks.
If it has not been destroyed, it means there may still be some left.
Chen Ping felt lucky for his original choice.
Those monks who focus on blue frost grass and warm vine may not be able to meet the mission requirements easily.
For a monk like Yun Haitang who has experience in identifying various spiritual plants, even if he originally planned to focus on finding blue frost grass and warm vine, the problem is not too big and he can adjust his strategy at any time.
But for those like Chen Ping who collect medicine by themselves
Monks with little experience can only follow one path until the end, or waste a lot of time learning it all over again.
Chen Ping continued to search for a distance to the southwest and felt that the evil spirit in the forest was getting stronger and stronger.
'Can't go any further. ,
Chen Ping stopped.
Found 5 needed spiritual plants in one afternoon...
Okay.
It only takes a few more days to meet the mission requirements.
He looked up at the ancient tree that blocked the sky and the sun, jumped up, and stopped among the dense leaves of a big tree.
For safety reasons, I did not stand on the top of the tree, but stood on the trunk, using the leaves as a shield. Looking west through the gaps in the dense foliage.
As far as the eye can see, the distance is filled with mist.
Further into the distance, the white mist became thicker and thicker, completely blocking the view into the distance.
The distance in the distance is no longer visible.
'It seems that that side is the boundary legal area of the fog formation. ,
'A fog formation that can trap even golden elixirs. I don’t know how deep the secret is. If I have the chance to get the relevant secrets in the future, I must study it carefully. ,
Chen Ping withdrew his gaze.
He landed lightly on the towering tree and walked back.
He didn't dare to get even closer to the area where the fog was.
In the border area of the fog formation, an area dozens of miles wide will form a fog domain.
Once he strays into the realm of fog, he will completely lose his direction, and even the golden elixir will not be able to get out, let alone him who is building a foundation.
Those demonic cultivators, on the other hand, stayed in the mist unscrupulously, and did not have to worry about righteous monks entering the mist to kill people.
'I heard that the scope of the Mist Domain will gradually expand. I just hope it expands a little slower, and a little slower. ,
'Wait until Jin Dan finds a way to break the formation. ,
Chen Ping changed a path and walked back.
At the same time, he did not forget to continue to drive Yunqingniao to work for him.
Facts have proved that opportunities always favor those who work hard.
On the way back, I actually found a frost-bearded purple pod vine on a towering tree.
Unfortunately, only one frostbeard purple pod was produced.
Hanging alone on the vine, with frost whiskers hanging down and purple air lingering.
However, Chen Ping did not feel disappointed at all. He carefully picked up the frostbeard purple pod vine. Because the vine grew on a moss-covered tree trunk and its root system was not deep, it was easily removed intact.
He has to take it back and cultivate it.
If the cultivation is successful, it will produce a tree of frost-bearded purple pods.
Then there is no need to worry about tasks in the next few years.
"How are you doing there?" When Chen Ping returned to the agreed place, Yun Haitang was already waiting there.
Yun Haitang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Ping coming back:
"It was pretty smooth. I met a few herbalists on the way, but I stayed far away and they didn't notice me. Unfortunately, I didn't find many medicinal materials. I only found a bunch of nine-star flowers. A warm vine and a blue frost grass. I haven’t seen it yet…”
The situation on her side was similar to what Chen Ping had seen. Much of the ecology for refining the Awakening Pill had been destroyed.
Other spiritual materials have been over-harvested.
Obviously, Yun Haitang is not the only one who knows about this "feng shui treasure place".
Chen Ping looked at the sky:
"Let's find a place to spend the night tonight, and then look for a less popular place tomorrow. We can always find it."
"Yeah." Yun Haitang put away the magic weapon:
"I do know a place. I found it when I was on duty in this area. It's a hidden cave that can be used for one night."
have a look.
What is professionalism?
This is called professionalism.
…
In the realm of mist.
In a mountain stream on the border between Qingyun Territory and Ximan Territory, there is a clear pool with crystal clear bottom, showing emerald green like jasper under the reflection of the big trees.
There is a piece of deep pool near the root of the stone wall.
An unattractive boulder.
A small spiritual fish accidentally touched the stone and disappeared instantly as if it had touched some taboo.
The little fish was stunned, and when he came to his senses again, he found that he was in another deep pool.
Outside the water, there is a different scene.
It has lived in the mountain stream here for decades, and has never seen such a secret place here, which makes it a little suspicious of Yu Sheng.
The sky here is only black; the trees here all have human faces, and their branches dance flexibly; the plants here feed on black air...
On a high platform.
An old Jindan man sat cross-legged on the ground, exhaling the rich spiritual energy and demonic energy that filled the air.
