About half an hour later, the white-bearded old man's voice sounded again, and the crowd suddenly became quiet.
"Everyone, what you are about to face next is the second level of this entry trial. Please search for valuable medicinal materials in this dense forest. Until dawn, the market value of the medicinal materials obtained exceeds one thousand taels of silver. Only then can you pass the test." After passing the test, all the medicinal materials obtained will be recycled. Of course, if you feel that the medicinal materials you collected are not enough, you may not want to hand them over. You can take your own medicinal materials and leave on your own. Tianyun will not take any of it and will escort you down the mountain safely. Everyone, please. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the white-bearded old man and a group of Tianyun disciples disappeared in front of everyone again. After a while, the quiet crowd became noisy again and began to spread.
This time, people mostly chose to go it alone. The target this time is to collect medicinal materials with a market value of one thousand taels per person. The more people, the greater the amount needed to be collected and the better the quality. Moreover, if the medicinal materials are not careful, it can easily lead to uneven distribution. If it is not done well, there will be a fight. Therefore, everyone wisely chose to act alone. Furthermore, this dense forest is so vast, and ordinary medicinal materials can be found everywhere. As long as you search carefully, you will have no problem completing the target.
"Qingya, it's over now, I don't know anything about medicinal materials." Seeing that everyone was lying on the ground and searching carefully, Hua Qing'er stood aside, holding Qingya's arm, and said anxiously.
"Sister Qing'er, don't worry. I was in the medical clinic that day. Mr. Tongjun taught me a lot of medical science. I also benefited a lot from the identification of medicinal materials. If I'm lucky, there should be no problem with the indicators this time." Qingya As he answered, he tried to recall the contents of the medicinal materials illustration that he had read that day.
It is said that in ancient times Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs in the world. On this basis, countless generations of famous doctors continued to improve and compile the book "Shen Nong Jing", which is said to include all the medicinal materials discovered so far and record their medicinal properties and pharmacology in detail. It is a sacred book of medicine that every medical practitioner must master proficiently. Qingya just thought it was interesting that day, so he browsed through the Shen Nong Sutra. Although he swallowed it all, he still remembered some medicinal materials clearly.
"Sister Qing'er, let's stay away from the crowd to avoid arguing with others. Let's go a little further in. There should be better medicinal materials inside." After that, the two left the crowd and walked deeper into the jungle. After a while, , the two figures disappeared into the mist of the night.
In this dense forest, there are few people on weekdays, and no herbal collectors would take the risk to climb so high. The Tianyun Mountain trial is held every ten years, and the method of each trial is different. Then, no one has visited this place for at least dozens of years or even hundreds of years, so there must be rare medicinal materials here that are old. Sure enough, on a section of an ancient tree that had been hollowed out, there grew a palm-sized Ganoderma lucidum with a bright red body.
"It's Blood Ganoderma."
Qing Ya turned around and climbed up to the treetop. Using a small piece of wood, he carefully removed the Blood Ganoderma lucidum from the tree, leaving some hyphae for future growth. Blood Ganoderma has an excellent restorative effect on people who have just recovered from serious illnesses. At the same time, it also has excellent blood-enriching and beauty-enhancing effects on women.
Judging from Qingya's insignificant eyesight, this Blood Ganoderma lucidum must be at least fifty years old. Although it is unknown how much it is worth, it will definitely not be less than a hundred taels. At this time, Qingya somewhat understood why the white-bearded old man just said that people who were unwilling to hand over the medicinal materials would leave on their own. The first medicinal material he found was already worth no less than one hundred taels of silver. If he was lucky in one night, Better, it is possible to collect medicinal materials worth several thousand taels. Such a sum of money, placed at the foot of the mountain, would be enough to feed and clothe a person for a lifetime.
But I would never do this. I came here to seek immortality in order to practice Taoism. Anyway, I have never enjoyed the glory and wealth of the mortal world, and there is no need to pursue these. While thinking this, he put the Blood Ganoderma into his coat and wrapped it up. After two or three blows, he jumped down from the tree.
"Qingya, Qingya, come here and take a look, there is a strange grass here." I saw Hua Qing'er squatting on the side, constantly waving to this side.
Qing Ya walked over, knelt down next to her, and looked down along her gaze. Among the grass on the ground, there was a particularly abrupt open space, about two feet in diameter. Moreover, the open space seemed to be scorched and dark. In the center of this open space, there is still a fire burning continuously. No, it was a fiery red herb, as eye-catching as a burning flame.
Flame grass, such obvious features are enough to make people sure that this is flame grass. The appearance of flame grass is the same as ordinary grass, but its color is as red as flames. From a distance, it looks like a burning flame. The longer it grows, the smaller it will be, and it will clear the surrounding land as if it is burning. , and finally it will disappear into this scorched earth like a burning flame, dissipating between heaven and earth.
Flame grass has excellent curative effect on patients with cold constitution or cold poison. What's even more rare is that if you place it in a room, even in the cold winter, the room will still be as warm as spring. It is a plant loved by many wealthy people, but it is a pity that its quantity is so small that it can be said to be worth a thousand dollars. beg. With this flame grass, the two of them have completed their target tonight.
Qingya couldn't help but sigh, it was indeed irritating to compare people to each other. He found a blood Ganoderma lucidum and felt smug, thinking that he was very lucky. Unexpectedly, this girl found thousands of taels of gold just by looking for it.
"Sister Qing'er is really the sweet girl of heaven. Just this flame grass is enough for the two of us to complete this target. This time, it is all thanks to sister Qing'er's blessing that we were able to find this precious medicinal material. Come on, give me your hairpin." Qingya said as he stretched out his hand.
"Do you want to use a hairpin to dig it out?" Hua Qing'er asked doubtfully, "Can't you just pull it out with your hands?" As he said that, he took out the hairpin from his pocket and placed it in Qingya's palm.
While cleaning the soil on the ground, Qingya explained, "It is recorded in the book that flame grass is extremely corrosive to flesh, flesh, and vegetation. If it touches it, it will be like being burned by flames. It can only be touched with metal or porcelain. "When the flame grass was dug out by the roots, Qingya took out the small kettle that had just been filled with water and placed the flame grass in it.
"Then you can take a rest now. Oops, I'm really exhausted today." Hua Qing'er twisted her waist, relaxed her body, and sat down next to a big tree to rest.
Before she could sit still, Hua Qing'er jumped up again, hurriedly ran to a tree ahead, and squatted there motionless. It turned out that there was a bird's nest scattered under the tree, which had obviously fallen from the tree. . At this moment, the eggs in the bird's nest were already in pieces, and yellow-white liquid flowed all over the floor. It was unknown how many lives had died here. Seeing this scene, Hua Qing'er couldn't help but feel sad.
Qingya walked over and found that there was still a blue egg intact on the ground. He immediately picked it up, wiped it clean, and after checking again that there were no cracks, he smiled and comforted, "Don't be sad, Sister Qing'er, isn't there another one?" It’s intact.”
"Qingya, do you think we can take this egg away? When this trial is completed, we will find a warm place to see if we can hatch it. Do you agree?"
Although I know that this is basically impossible to succeed, once it is separated from the big bird, it is impossible for these eggs to hatch into babies. But looking at Hua Qing'er's wet eyes flashing with tears, Qing Ya couldn't help but said with confidence: "No problem, I will definitely hatch it out. No matter what, I will find an old hen and put it on her There must be no problem below the belly."
"Then what if it hatches like a chicken and can't fly?" Hua Qing'er asked innocently.
Qing Ya, who had a quiet personality, couldn't help laughing at this sentence. He smiled and rubbed Hua Qing'er's head and said: "Silly girl, even if it is a swan born in a duck's nest, it will still be a swan. One day You can fly into the blue sky, sister Qing'er, you are so cute."
Hua Qing'er, who knew that he was in a big embarrassment, immediately covered Qing Ya's face with his hands, and then squeezed in the middle, "Don't laugh, what's so funny, there are no big or small brats, huh."
His face was squeezed so much that he had to pout, Qingya muttered, "Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore. Sister, please get around me."
"Hmph, let's see if you still dare to make fun of me." Hua Qing'er let go of her hands
There was another puff, knowing that he had accidentally failed to hold it back, Qing Ya covered his mouth, but his shaking shoulders still gave him away.
"You brat, you..."
Seeing that Hua Qing'er was about to pounce on her again, Qing Ya suddenly put down her hands covering her face and said with a serious face, "Okay, Sister Qing'er, let's not talk about what happened just now. Take the time to rest. We have only reached the halfway point of the mountain today. , there will definitely be a new trial tomorrow." But I was secretly shocked in my heart: It was so dangerous, but fortunately I held it back in time.
As for this bird egg, Qingya felt that it was not safe to put it anywhere. In the end, he had to keep it in his hand. I was afraid that he could only place it properly if he found a stable place to stay. I hope that during tomorrow's trial, I won't accidentally break it, otherwise Sister Qing'er will be sad.
