Three hundred miles outside Luoyang City, in an unknown forest.
Xiao Shisan felt a splitting headache, and he remembered Xiao Qing's slightly childish voice in his ears, as if calling him to wake up.
He tried hard to open his eyes, and all he could see were tree branches that blocked the sky. Sunlight shone on him through the gaps in the leaves. A sudden breeze blew by, and the coolness made Xiao Shisan wake up.
Um?
As soon as he sat up, Xiao Shisan noticed something was wrong. The pain in his body disappeared and his body seemed to have recovered. No, it seemed to be a little stronger than before.
what 's wrong?
"Oh, you finally woke up!"
A woman's voice of surprise sounded in his ears. Xiao Shisan looked up and saw, wasn't this the woman who had pulled him into the cave to escape the pursuit of monsters? ? ?
There was a pile of things in front of the woman, and she was dazzled at first glance.
Xiao Shisan took a closer look at the pile of things and couldn't help but widen his eyes. A pile of... a pile of spiritual grass!
There are various shapes, some are shaped like lotus flowers, some are like pine needles, and some are like tiny snake cores, emitting a faint light.
Seeing Xiao Shisan's expression, the woman covered her mouth and chuckled: "These are all treasures. I spent a lot of effort to collect them."
As she said that, she carefully picked up a piece of spiritual grass and waved it gently in front of Xiao Shisan's eyes, "Look, this 'snake core grass' can help monks dredge their meridians and increase their cultivation speed; and that piece of grass 'Cinnabar Lotus' has miraculous effects on healing internal injuries; long-term use of this bunch of 'Golden Thread Pine' can strengthen the body and prolong life..."
The woman was getting up while talking, but suddenly stopped for some reason and looked at Xiao Shisan with a strange expression.
"You're weird! It's like a bottomless pit. I fed you a lot of spiritual herbs."
The pile of spiritual grass in front of her was already the third pile she had found. She had crushed the first two piles of spiritual grass into pieces and stuffed them into Xiao Shisan's mouth.
But the strange thing is that Xiao Shisan is like a bottomless black hole, and there is no ripple when the spiritual grass enters his body.
He could feel that Xiao Shisan's body was recovering, but the spiritual power in those spiritual herbs disappeared, and there was no trace of spiritual power on Xiao Shisan's body.
"You gave it to me? How much?"
Xiao Shisan was shocked. He was a mortal with no spiritual roots and could not absorb the spiritual power in the spiritual grass. Even the spiritual grass that healed injuries or was good for the body could not be taken directly. He needed to be refined into a pill and then diluted several times. .
If he takes it directly, the spiritual power in the spiritual grass will accumulate in his body and cannot be digested. If the amount is too large, his body will burst.
"Not much, just two piles." The woman pointed at the piles of spiritual grass on the ground and said very proudly.
Two piles? If the woman was talking about the same pile of spiritual grass as before, then there would be at least hundreds of spiritual grasses!
However, why do I not feel any discomfort in my body and even feel stronger than before?
Suddenly, Xiao Shisan's eyes lit up, and he remembered the magical furnace inside his body.
When he opened the light screen and took a look, sure enough, the number behind the spiritual value had become 5804!
5804! This is a number that he has never reached even after collecting medicinal materials for a year!
What grade of spiritual grass is this woman looking for? It’s so valuable!
In this way, although Xiao Shisan cannot absorb spiritual grass, the furnace in his body can automatically refine it, providing spiritual material value and feeding back to the physical body.
It may also be that the quality of the medicinal materials that Xiao Shisan put into the furnace before was too low, and the effect of feeding back to the physical body was very small. He didn't notice it during this year.
After suppressing the excitement in his heart, Xiao Shisan carefully observed the woman in front of him.
The woman has a good appearance, with deep ravines in her breasts. She is wearing a dark green loose top, and there is a faint sign of being restrained by such a loose top.
Two simple braids are tied with green grass rings, neat and tidy.
"My name is Xiao Shisan, thank you for the spiritual grass."
When Xiao Shisan looked at the woman, the woman also looked at Xiao Shisan. There seemed to be some kind of primitive desire in those big and smart eyes. She was very interested in Xiao Shisan!
"Duan, Duan Muling." After hearing Xiao Shisan's words, the woman was stunned for a moment, and then she said her name.
"Is there something on my face?"
Xiao Shisan touched his face. He felt that Duanmu Ling's eyes were strange, as if Xiao Qing saw a new toy.
"No, no, why are you here? There are monsters everywhere in the forest, aren't you afraid?"
Duan Muling squatted in front of Xiao Shisan, supported his head with both hands, and asked curiously.
"I'm afraid, I don't want to come here either."
Xiao Shisan let out a long sigh and slowly told Duanmu Ling what happened before, but he did not mention Xiao Qing's Five Elements Ultimate Spiritual Root.
He still understands the principle that a common man is innocent and possessing a jade is a crime.
"Ah, then you are really unlucky, so do you want to leave the forest now to find your sister?" Duanmuling asked, tilting his head.
"Yes, but I want to go to the place where the accident happened first." Xiao Shisan nodded and replied.
Before he fell, a wave of air hit him. Although he was not a monk, he could still feel the powerful energy fluctuations from it. Without even thinking about it, he knew that it was caused by the battle between the monster beast and the Baiyun Sect, but he didn't know who it was. Who wins and who loses.
"You're not talking about the battle that happened above Tianxing Gorge a few days ago, are you?" Duanmu Ling frowned, as if he was remembering something terrible.
A few days ago, Duan Muling happened to pass by the Tianxing Gorge. At that time, several airships passed by at high speed. At first, she didn't pay attention. She only glanced at them lightly. At this time, she saw a monster following behind the airships. , that monster is huge, and it is not a simple thing at first glance.
Driven by curiosity, Duanmu Ling followed him to see what was going on.
But after all, she couldn't fly. When the battle energy fluctuations came from ahead, she still had a long distance to go.
When she arrived at the battle site, there was only a pile of wreckage of the airship, and countless trees were cut off. The air was filled with the smell of blood, but there was no body in sight. There was no trace of the monster around, and it seemed to have left.
The smell of blood would attract monsters, so Duanmu Ling did not dare to stay for a long time. He searched around and found that no one was there before leaving.
After hearing Duan Muling's story, Xiao Shisan's heart gradually sank, and his face became extremely ugly.
From the looks of it, Baiyun Sect should have been defeated, so wouldn’t Xiao Qing be? ?
Xiao Shisan didn't dare to think any further.
"Don't worry, not finding the body is not necessarily bad news. Maybe they managed to escape." Duanmuling comforted.
Xiao Shisan knew that Duanmu Ling was comforting him, but now he could only think in this direction.
"Do you still remember how to get to Tianxing Gorge?" Xiao Shisan said after a moment of silence.
"I remember, I can smell the blood there now!" Duanmu Ling was still frightened when she thought of the scene she saw that day, but seeing Xiao Shisan's gloomy expression, she couldn't bear to refuse.
"Thank you, but I don't have anything to offer now, and I really don't have the shame to repay you. Whenever I am needed in the future, Xiao Shisan will do his best!"
Xiao Shisan stood up and clasped his fists and said.
"It's a trivial matter, but you're not a monk, right? Are you really okay in this forest where monsters are rampant?"
When treating Xiao Shisan previously, Duanmu Ling noticed that there was no spiritual power in his body. He was not a monk, but just a mortal.
In the forest where monsters live, even monks have to be careful. Mortals may be eaten by monsters at any time if they enter, making it almost impossible to leave alive.
"Don't worry, I have my own means." Xiao Shisan's eyes flashed and he secretly clenched his fists.
