Chapter 18: Mysterious Sun Grass (Seeking Recommendations)
Little Meteorite has been in this unknown forest for twenty or thirty days, and during these twenty or thirty days, he would take Little Spring with him every day to fly around the surrounding environment with their small wooden house as the center. It was also these short twenty or thirty days that allowed them to have a deeper understanding of this vast forest.
Don't look at this forest, it's all towering trees, a green expanse, full of life. In fact, there are many crises hidden within. Not to mention the swamps and poisonous fogs, just the monsters alone are enough to shock Xiao Liu Xing and his friends. And those monsters are very powerful. Why are they called monsters? It's because all the animals have never seen them before, not a single one. Three-headed wolves, birds with bat heads as big as eagles, rabbits with ears only one finger long but as big as dogs...
These animals not only look strange, but their abilities are also impressive, each with its own unique skills. For example, the three-headed wolf has one head that can spit fire, another that can produce ice arrows, and a third that can generate powerful gusts of wind to attack people. The strange bird can not only produce even more powerful gusts of wind than the wolf, but also emit supersonic waves.
These attacks were something that even the carefree Xīyángzǐ Master had never seen before, let alone himself. At first, they left him defenseless and struggling to cope. If Xiǎo Liúxīng hadn't just broken through to the Golden Elixir stage, he would have been in a lot of trouble. At least now, Xiǎo Chūntiān still couldn't beat him. However, according to the carefree Xīyángzǐ Master's memories, these demonic cultivators were all sorts of strange animals or plants that cultivated special techniques.
So Little Meteor didn't show much surprise when he saw these strange animals, and the Chaotic Treasure also recorded many kinds of divine-level demon-repairing techniques.
Just because Xiaoliu Xing saw these strange animals without any reaction doesn't mean that Xiaochun Tian would be the same, on the contrary, Xiaochun Tian was so excited when she saw these strange animals! Before, she had only seen some domesticated birds or common birds like sparrows with her parents.
Who has seen such a strange and wonderful thing, with little meteorites protecting her by her side, without worrying about safety issues, will naturally emit hundreds of times more enthusiasm for these fresh animals! As soon as she had the chance, she let Little Meteor help her catch one alive and put it in the maze array to raise it. (They can't break through the formation method, so they can only stay inside every day, like being raised by Little Spring.) This made Little Meteor cry and laugh at the same time, he was also the first to know that the maze array had this function, maybe even the creator of it didn't think of it!
Jīn Dān period's Xiao Liú Xīng now has a sensory ability that is much stronger than before, and can easily blend into nature, so he can also easily feel the flow of heaven and earth's yuanqi. It was this sense that allowed Xiao Liú Xīng to unintentionally discover a commonality among these monsters during his battles with them: their attacks all required calling upon the energy of a crystal within their bodies, and this crystal was always placed inside the heads of these demonic cultivators.
The inner elixir of the demon-repairing is generally in their dantian position, except for some special ones. This is the experience given by Master Xiangyaozi. Is it that he himself has a very powerful aura and all the ones he encounters are special? Xiaoliuxing slowly began to doubt their demon identity.
Of course, suspicion is suspicion. After killing them, Xiao Liuxing would still get their "inner dan", which was the essence of these monsters' lives. Although Xiao Liuxing didn't know the energy properties of these crystals now and couldn't use them to refine equipment, this didn't prevent him from knowing that they were good stuff.
Moreover, after collecting many of these things, Xiaoliu Xingxing discovered that animals with green "inner pellets" can emit gusts of wind, those with red "inner pellets" can emit fire, those with white inner pellets can emit ice cones, and those with yellow inner pellets can control stones and earth to attack. In short, a color of inner pellet corresponds to an attack method, just like the three-headed wolf, which has three attack methods, each corresponding to one of its three heads.
These twenty-odd days of non-stop battles with these monsters have given Xiaoliu a deeper understanding of the use of Chaos True Energy. Knowing it in theory is one thing, but actually using it in battle is another, just like everyone knows how to dunk, but not many can do it. Practice makes perfect!
Moreover, it's not just him, Xiao Liuxing also intentionally lets Xiao Chuntian fight with some low-level monsters to improve her strength. Now in the middle of the Bi Valley, although she hasn't learned any other spells, the Bishui Shen Jue as a divine level technique naturally has its own set of attack methods. Although the attack power is relatively weak compared to Xiao Liuxing, it's not small for those monsters! At the same level, Xiao Chuntian can win without much effort.
Today, Xiaoliu Xing brought Xiaochun Tian to fly further away with his flying sword to check the situation. As a Jindan cultivator, he now controlled the flying sword more easily and freely, and while flying, he could also spread out his divine sense to check the ground situation.
"Huh?" The little meteor suddenly stopped not far from the range it had checked yesterday. "Brother, are there monsters again?" Little Chun Tian asked excitedly from behind, hugging the little meteor, but this time the little meteor didn't nod as usual, instead it said with a very surprised expression: "No, there's something else, let's go take a look", and then flew down to the ground without waiting for Little Chun Tian to say anything.
Unlike the previous landing where the ground was covered with weeds and whatnot, this time the ground had grass, but not weeds, all of one type, just with some color differences. The area was roughly five or six hundred square meters. This grass was unknown to Little Spring in the early spring, but as soon as she arrived, she felt that the heaven and earth energy here was many times thicker than outside, and this thick energy was only within the range of where this grass grew. Without thinking, it was clear that this grass was definitely problematic. Little Spring didn't say anything, just stood behind Little Starseed, her big, cute eyes wide open, looking at her brother with expectant eyes.
This grass is indeed problematic, and it's not a small problem! This grass is called Xuan Yang Grass, the main material for refining Xuan Yang Dan in the Cultivation Realm. Its color changes with age: under 100 years old is green, between 100-200 years old is gray, under 500 years old is yellow, between 1,000-5,000 years old is golden, and between 5,000-10,000 years old is purple. As for over 10,000 years old, even the carefree son's memory doesn't have any records of it. This grass is extremely rare in the Cultivation Realm, let alone a thousand-year-old one - even five-hundred-year-old ones are scarce! In his lifetime, the carefree son has only seen one thousand-year-old Xuan Yang Grass, which is also the only one in the entire Cultivation Realm, and there are only two or three seven-hundred-year-old ones.
Xuanyang Dan is very special, it can enhance a person's strength. The Xuanyang Dan refined from 500 years of Xuanyang Grass can increase at least 600 years of cultivation! The higher the age of Xuanyang Grass, the greater the enhancement space, of course, on the premise that you won't be blown up after increasing so much cultivation! Xīyáng Zǐ was able to become the number one person in the Xiūzhēn realm, and that 1,000-year-old Xuanyang Grass is not to be underestimated!
Everyone in the Cultivation Realm knows that plants containing Heavenly Earth's Primordial Qi, except for some very special ones that can be consumed directly, all others must be combined with other materials to exert their effects. Direct consumption is completely ineffective. However, during the refining process of combining with other materials, the Heavenly Earth's Primordial Qi contained in those materials will always lose some, more or less. But Xuan Yang Grass is an exception. Although it cannot be consumed directly, the refined Xuan Yang Dan not only does not lose any Heavenly Earth's Primordial Qi but also absorbs it during the refining process, thereby increasing the user's Primordial Qi by more than their original amount!
This is why the Xiu Zhen world is flocking to it. It's also the reason why there are so few of them. However, what Xiao Liuxing values about it is not its function of increasing power, but its second function: the Xuan Yang Pill can help people in the Golden Elixir stage condense their Yuan Ying! As long as it's a Xuan Yang Grass that's over 500 years old and refined into a Xuan Yang Pill, it has the function of helping people condense their Yuan Ying! There are many cultivators in the Xiu Zhen world, but many of them stop at the Golden Elixir stage.
Xiao Liuxing knew through Xiang Yaozi's memory comparison that his cultivation was naturally faster than the so-called geniuses in Xiuzhen Realm, but this did not mean he could break through the Yuan Ying period. There were too many uncertainties in the future, just like a month ago, he was still cultivating at the bottom of the cliff, but who would have thought that suddenly he would be in this place? So if there was an opportunity to increase his chances of forming a Nascent Soul, Xiao Liuxing would not hesitate!
I didn't expect to see so many Xuan Yang Grass here! There are green, gray, yellow, and even gold ones, with at least a few hundred sprouts! There are also dozens of purple ones, 17 red ones, and 5 pink ones! The red and pink ones must be over 5,000 years old, but I don't care about the exact age, just take them away!
With a thought, the chaotic energy passed through the soles of his feet and into the ground, covering the entire area where the mysterious grass grew. "Rise!" A small meteor suddenly shouted, and the soil and grass were all pulled out of the ground together! At this time, the Chaotic Golden Tower emerged from the small meteor's dantian, and in an instant, it sucked up all the grass and soil. Good things can't be left for others. The small meteor unceremoniously put all the mysterious grass into the Chaotic Golden Tower to cultivate, not even sparing those that were hundreds of years old.
"Let's go, we won't be going anywhere else today. Let's head back and have brother prepare something good for you!" The little shooting star smiled rarely as she said this to Little Spring. Little Spring didn't know what those herbs were, but if they could make brother so happy, they definitely wouldn't be bad. So he happily nodded "uh-huh" and followed the little shooting star onto the Flowing Star Sword that had stopped at their feet.
