In the next few days, Ye Hong wandered around Tianlong City, going in and out of various places without looking for the Nine-Leaf Exquisite Grass. During this period, I happened to meet Zhao Yan and chatted with him for a long time.
In the past few days, the old woman didn't understand Ye Hong's behavior, and she didn't know what Ye Hong was doing. She only knew that Ye Hong went out to write notes every day and didn't know what he was writing down.
Finally, on this day, the old woman couldn't help but ask Ye Hong: "What are these you remember? What does it have to do with your search for the Nine-Leaf Exquisite Grass?"
Ye Hong smiled mysteriously and said: "These are big data. Whether you can find the Nine-leaf Exquisite Grass depends on these things. I have learned almost all the news in the past few days, so you can set off to find the Nine-leaf Exquisite Grass."
The old woman was surprised and said: "You already know where the Nine-Leaf Exquisite Grass is?"
"Although we can't be sure where they are, we have a few targets. If we go to these places to explore, we might be lucky enough to find them." Ye Hong said, pointing to a few circled marks on the map.
Seeing the places that Ye Hong had circled these days, the old woman didn't understand how Ye Hong could tell that there would be Nine-Leaf Exquisite Grass in those places, so she asked curiously:
"I'd love to know how you determined that?"
"Of course it depends on this!" Ye Hong smiled proudly and pointed to his head.
"You little kid, you are quite interesting. Let me see if you can really find the Nine-Leaf Exquisite Grass in these places!"
After that, Ye Hong went to the locations circled on the map. Despite the vast territory of the Central Territory, Ye Hong only marked four locations on the map, some close to Tianlong City, and some remote and close to the mountains.
These four locations have a common feature, that is, there are rivers or lakes in the area. A big reason for choosing a place with water is the special guardian beast of the nine-leaf exquisite grass.
Based on the principle of proximity, Ye Hong first came to the lake closest to Tianlong City. According to the news collected in the past few days, there are often frogs croaking near this lake. Some people say that there is a monster in this lake, and they have seen one. The shadow of the monster jumped into the lake.
As for why he thought there would be Nine-leaf Exquisite Grass here, Ye Hong was just guessing. In fact, from the information he got, the probability of Nine-leaf Exquisite Grass being there was the lowest among the four places, so he didn't have much hope. One is that it is close to Tianlong City. If there is Nine-leaf Exquisite Grass here, it has probably been picked by someone. Also, the environment here is not like a place where Nine-leaf Exquisite Grass is found until after arriving.
The nine-leaf exquisite grass is also known as the seven-orificed exquisite heart among the spiritual plants. It is not born with nine leaves, but a reed without leaves. Its growth environment is extremely harsh.
It is recorded in books that the nine-leaf exquisite grass grows in a damp place with sunshine in the morning and a sun-flamed place with overcast at night. It is cold but not cold, and scorching but not hot. The place where it takes root is cold and absorbs the sun inflammation, such as becoming hot. If you absorb the cold moon, the place where the nine-leaf exquisite grass grows will definitely gather nine kinds of elemental power, because each leaf of the nine-leaf exquisite grass is a different color, representing the essence of different elemental powers.
Why are you looking for it because of the sound of frogs? It's because heavenly materials and earthly treasures like the Nine-leaf Exquisite Grass will be guarded by powerful monsters. The monsters also want to increase their strength by devouring heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
The guardian monster of the Nine-leaf Exquisite Grass is special. According to records in books, it is a monster called the Nine-headed Green Dragon. One of the preys that the Nine-headed Green Dragon likes to eat is frog-like monsters. Where there are frog monsters, there is likely to be a nine-headed green dragon. If there are nine-headed green dragon, there may be a nine-leaf exquisite grass.
After listening to Ye Hong's analysis, the old woman was shocked. Nine-leaf exquisite grass is hard to find. She didn't expect that Ye Hong would start with the guardian beast of nine-leaf exquisite grass. However, the nine-headed green dragon mostly hides in the water and rarely appears, such as the nine-leaf exquisite grass. It is generally difficult to see, but Ye Hong came from another angle to study the prey of the nine-headed green dragon. There are twists and turns that most people would never imagine, and he also understood that so many days and nights Ye Hong had been collecting this information.
In fact, it's not that Ye Hong didn't want to find the information about the Nine-leaf Exquisite Grass directly. Being able to get the information directly would save a lot of things. Who wouldn't want to? But because he couldn't find any information about the Nine-leaf Exquisite Grass, he had no choice but to find it from other places. Get started.
It was also thanks to the fact that I had read many books on searching for cultivation methods when I was in Fenglei Continent, and I had read many books on geography, elixirs and spiritual materials that I came up with this method and dared to take on the task of searching for the Nine-Leaf Exquisite Grass. Task.
After walking around the lake and observing the calm lake surface, Ye Hong knew that there was no Nine-Leaf Exquisite Grass here, but he had some other ideas.
"Come here, although there is no Nine-Leaf Exquisite Grass, there may be some treasures in this lake. I'll go down and take a look!"
Ye Hong said and jumped into the lake with a splash, sinking downwards. The old woman by the lake did not stop Ye Hong's actions, but retreated to a tree nearby and looked at the lake with interest.
"This little kid has a smart mind, but he's a little too greedy. Just let yourself suffer a little! The fifth-level Blue Water Golden Toad, this little kid has indeed guessed that there is something in the lake."
Because the lake was so big, Ye Hong didn't find any treasure when he sank to the bottom of the lake. He originally came down to hunt for treasures, but he couldn't bear to find the treasure. He immediately started to use his skills, and the remaining chapter of "Treasure Appraisal Technique" came into play at this time.
Although this skill book was given to Miaomiao after being redeemed, he had read it countless times in his own hands and had long been familiar with it. How could the money-hungry Ye Hong not practice this kind of treasure hunting skill after he was able to practice it.
Following the induction, Ye Hong quickly found the treasure in the lake. When Ye Hong actually saw what treasure it was, he was disappointed but more drooling. The treasure was not aquatic plants, fish or shrimp, nor some strange stone monster, but a golden-tipped snail at the bottom of a lake.
The golden tip snail has a golden tail tip, hence the name golden tip snail. Its meat is delicious and is a top cooking ingredient. The most important thing is that eating the golden tip snail can improve your cultivation, and the effect is comparable to the Qi Gathering Fruit you got before, and Better results. The Qi Gathering Fruit is only useful for the Qi Condensation Realm and only the first one has the best effect. The Golden Tip Snail has no such restrictions and is useful for practitioners at all stages of the realm. However, the higher the realm, the greater the effect. It is not obvious and the improvement effect is greatly reduced.
Ye Hong was not interested in the effect of improving his cultivation, but he was greedy. There was a lot of scraping at the bottom of the lake, and a large handful was picked up in a short time.
Just when Ye Hong was about to continue picking up, he was suddenly caught by a long tongue, and the green water golden toad that had been hiding under the water made a move.
Seeing that he was about to be pulled into a big mouth, Ye Hong reacted hurriedly, and the Qingfeng sword struck towards the long tongue that was strangling him.
It was difficult to perform in the water. The Qingfeng sword hit the long tongue. The green water golden toad felt pain and quickly retracted its tongue. Ye Hong was able to escape and immediately rushed towards the water.
But before it floated up much, the Blue Water Golden Toad once again spit out its long tongue at Ye Hong. It was so fast that it knocked the Qingfeng Sword away, grabbed Ye Hong's hand, and pulled Ye Hong into the big body again with a strong pull. Mouth.
Ye Hong couldn't use it underwater, so the Qingfeng Sword left his hand again, and was instantly trapped in the big mouth of the Blue Water Golden Toad. With a grunt, Ye Hong was swallowed by the Blue Water Golden Toad.
The Blue Water Golden Toad cooed twice and closed its eyes again. Under the cover of the rocks at the bottom of the lake, the environment seemed to blend into one, and it was impossible to tell that there was a Green Water Golden Toad crawling there.
The Blue Water Golden Toad had just closed its eyes and hadn't even breathed. The Qingfeng sword that had fallen into the lake suddenly buzzed and flew up, instantly piercing into the Blue Water Golden Toad's body. In an instant, the Blue Water Golden Toad had a big hole in its stomach, and there were blood stains on it. The lake spread and dyed a large area red. Ye Hong broke out of his body, and at the same time used his Qingfeng Sword to use his sword skills to strike at the Blue Water Golden Toad again.
Seeing the death of the Blue Water Golden Toad, Ye Hong put away his Qingfeng Sword. Since the golden snails he picked up when he was attacked by the Blue Water Golden Toad had already been scattered, he quickly swept through the bottom of the lake, holding a bag of golden snails. He grabbed the body of the Blue Water Golden Toad and rushed out of the lake, returning to the ground.
"You have killed all the fifth-level Blue Water Golden Toads. The little kid is quite capable. He will be fine even if he is swallowed by the Blue Water Golden Toad." The old woman flashed from the tree and appeared in front of Ye Hong. She was a little surprised by Ye Hong.
"Hehe! What a fluke! I didn't expect that even the seniors would see it."
Ye Hong put the golden-tipped snails he brought on the ground and said, "I found a lot of golden-tipped snails at the bottom of the lake. Senior, let's rest here first, and I will cook you a delicious meal."
"I have long since refused to eat these things." The old woman shook her head uninterested.
"I've brought everything here. It would be a pity not to eat. Senior, please rest for now. I'll get it done soon."
Ye Hong didn't care whether the old woman ate or not, mainly because he was greedy and wanted to eat, so he took out the cooking utensils he had kept in his storage bag and started cooking delicious food.
Knock off the golden tail tip of the golden snail and clean it. Control the fire element to ignite the flame, heat the oil in the pot, add the prepared golden snails and seasonings and stir-fry, then mix and stir-fry the various ingredients, add water and simmer over low heat, and soon a burst of fragrance will waft out, attracting the old woman. come over.
It was rare for Ye Hong to use his elemental power to condense flames to cook. The old woman was ashamed when she saw it. Most people would not do this. Moreover, they had already become inedible by the time they reached the golden elixir stage. Who would still cook like Ye Hong?
The golden-tip snail was simmered over low heat until it was delicious. Here, Ye Hong made another pot and made a soup with part of the meat of the Bishui Golden Toad. And that wasn't the end, Ye Hong built another bonfire, skewered some of the meat of the Bishui Golden Toad, and started grilling it. It was sizzling with oil and sprinkled with condiments. It was delicious.
After a while, the golden snails were boiled over high heat and the juice was removed from the pot. A large plate of fragrant golden snails was completed, and the appetite was full. The Bishui Golden Toad soup here was overflowing with fragrance, and the Bishui Golden Toad barbecue was browned and tender, which made people salivate just looking at it. saliva.
"Done! It's really memorable. I didn't expect to have such delicious food here. If you don't have beer, just use this golden toad soup instead!" Ye Hong looked at the delicious food he had made and was very pleased.
"You still have this skill?" The old woman couldn't help but admire it.
"Hehe! This junior's cooking skills are average, senior, please try it!"
Seeing the deliciously fragrant dishes and Ye Hong's strange cooking techniques, even the old woman who had not eaten for many years became curious and wanted to take a bite.
Driven by Ye Hong's invitation again and driven by curiosity, the old woman took a bite. It didn't matter what I ate. I was immediately impressed by the delicious food, especially the plate of golden snails. It was so satisfying to eat that the old woman almost finished it without even eating it.
But he finally left some for himself. In fact, Ye Hong just had a taste and didn't dare to eat more of the golden snail. After all, the effect of eating one is much stronger than that of a Qi Gathering Fruit. He doesn't need it now. To improve your cultivation realm, if you improve too quickly, it will be harmful to yourself.
Yehong's barbecue is also outstanding. After eating one skewer, I still want another. The old woman has never eaten such delicious food.
"Senior, please slow down, there are still many more." Seeing that the old woman liked to eat the food she cooked, Ye Hong was very happy.
The old woman reminisced about the taste of the delicious food, maintained her image to avoid embarrassment, and coughed dryly:
"Ahem! You little kid is pretty good at eating, so you've passed the test. But as a cultivator, you should stop focusing on such useless things. Improving your strength is the right way."
