Lycoris radiata / Yuan Qi, transform
Ye Qin was almost stunned.
He would never have dreamed that in this gloomy, lifeless Zi Fu, among the cracks of the gray rocky islands, he would find several small luocao.
The fragrance wafted by, filling his senses with its rich aroma, and suddenly a thread of delight emerged in his heart. This scent was even more fragrant than the one he had smelled a year ago. Just smelling it greatly invigorated his spirit.
I've been searching for this small dew grass for a long time, and I didn't expect to see several plants here.
He racked his brains. He remembered that when he had eaten a poisonous egg and was in so much pain that he almost fainted, he had searched for an antidote in the big basket of herbs and grabbed a handful of them. But he couldn't remember if he had actually ingested it or not. The next day, when he went to rummage through the big basket again, he found that the little dew grass was gone. That missing little dew grass had become a constant worry for him ever since. He never thought he would find five of them here now.
Ye Qin floated on top of the five small dewy grasses for a while, even falling onto the leaves to confirm that they were not an illusion but actually existed.
He couldn't help but stare blankly into space.
This Purple Mansion Floating Island is in his Niwan Cave's Shi Hai, it's impossible for several small dew grasses to appear here without any reason. These few small dew grasses must have a connection with the one he picked on the cliff wall back then.
He has several doubts.
The first point is how did Xiaolucao end up on this floating island?
Secondly, how did one small dewy grass become five small dewy grasses?
The third point is what Xiaolucao is used for.
If these three questions can be clarified, all doubts should be automatically resolved.

Mountain peak.
Two days later, Ye Qin's divine consciousness stirred slightly, and five small dew grasses appeared out of thin air in his hand. His divine consciousness stirred again, and the five small dew grasses disappeared once more, causing him to burst into loud laughter. He spent a full two days repeatedly pondering and contemplating before finally understanding what was going on.
The Purple Mansion Floating Island in the Sea of Consciousness was actually connected to his world. As long as he moved with his divine sense, the small dew grass on the floating island could easily appear in his hand. And to move them back to the floating island, the method was the same, using his divine sense to move.
The mystery of why the small dew grass appeared on his floating island has been solved. It must have been that at the time he ate the eagle egg, he had severe abdominal pain and unconsciously absorbed the small dew grass into the floating island, where it fell into a crevice in the gray rock.
Suddenly, Ye Qin thought of something and hastily grabbed his large grass medicine basket, taking out the other ordinary grass medicines inside to try them out, to see if they could also be moved into the floating island. If successful, he wouldn't need to carry the heavy grass medicine basket on his back anymore, and could simply use the floating island to hold the medicines, which would greatly conserve his physical strength.
But he tried all the ordinary herbs of Cao Yu and found that none of them had any effect, and none of these herbs could be transplanted into the floating island.
Ye Qin couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
His plan to conserve energy has fallen through.
It seems that only Small Exposed Grass has this unique effect and can be moved into the floating island.
As for the second point, why did he originally have only one small orchid, but it became five, and there is still no inspiration to this day.
Ye Qin began to ponder the third question: what exactly was this small dew grass? What was it used for? It actually had such a unique effect.
Ye Qin learned a simple and commonly used method in the Medicine Hall to detect the medicinal properties of unknown herbs.
To find out what this little herb is and what it can be used for, the simplest way is to just eat a bit of it and taste it. — All herbs in the world are identified as medicinal after being eaten by humans.
Many herbs can be consumed directly, but the efficacy is not very good. Made into medicines or pills, the effect is usually much more pronounced.
Ye Qin took out one of the small Lucao grass, smelled the faint herbal fragrance, and decided to use the "trial medicine method" of the Medicine Pavilion to taste its medicinal properties. Before that, in order to be safe, he had prepared dozens of different types of detoxifying and purging herbs, as well as a kind of foul-smelling herb that could induce severe vomiting, in case he was poisoned.
Everything was ready, and Ye Qin first licked the small dew grass with the tip of his tongue.
Half an hour later, no adverse reactions were found.
He again put the leaves of the small reed in his mouth and remained still.
Half an hour later, there was still no adverse reaction.
Normally, with this gradual "trial medicine" method, if the herb is toxic, it will cause numbness, bitterness, and pain on the tip of the tongue. However, because the absorbed toxicity is very light, it will only bring some suffering and not be immediately fatal. (This method must result in poisoning, book friends must not try!)
Ye Qin saw the two attempts, and his tongue still felt good. There was a faint scent of herbal medicine in his mouth, and he had already roughly determined that this was a non-toxic small grass. It should be a benign herb or an ordinary herb.
Ye Qin bit into a leaf again, chewed it up and swallowed it bit by bit.
What surprised him was that after eating the leaves of the small dew grass, they turned into a stream of cool air in his abdomen, flowing through the meridians, colliding and passing through the muddy pellets before quickly disappearing.
No matter how familiar he is with this situation.
Every day when I practice qigong, this is what happens.
Eating this grass has an effect similar to cultivation.
Before long, Ye Qin swallowed the entire sprout of Small Exposed Grass. The flow of air became extremely fierce and his meridians ached as they clashed to their limits. He then began to meditate, his divine sense entering his Purple Mansion Floating Island.
The situation on the floating island shocked Ye Qin.
Ye Qin had already mentally prepared himself, but he still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
Only to see in the mid-air of the entire floating island, there were already dozens of inches long white fluff, swimming around. He widened his eyes and quickly counted, totaling over 70 strands. In other words, that inconspicuous small lucao had transformed into more than 70 strands of white fluff. Each strand of white fluff was his tonic.
Eating a sprout of Small Dew Grass has an effect equivalent to ten days of cultivating the "Sitting Forgetting Scripture: Sitting and Gazing at the Non-Self" technique.
Ye Qin could hardly contain his great joy, he had finally found a way to rapidly increase his cultivation speed.
Under normal circumstances, one must cultivate for at least ten years to complete the first layer. Twenty years for the second layer, forty years for the third layer. Even if one cultivates until death, it is only possible to reach the late stage of the third layer.
But it's different now.
If he could get a lot of Little Luminous Grass, eating one every day, his cultivation speed would increase by more than tenfold. He could finish cultivating the first layer of the Cultivation Method in just one year, and it would be as if he was flying!
"No wonder people in Jianghu like to use internal elixirs that have been brewed for decades or even hundreds of years to enhance their inner family true energy, it turns out to have such a good effect."
Ye Qin understood the effects of Xiaolucao, but instead of rushing to eat the remaining four Xiaolucao plants or absorbing the white mang, he floated on the floating island, circling around the four Xiaolucao plants.
These four stalks will be enough for him to eat for only four days at most. He must think of a way to get more Xiao Lu Cao.
Ye Qin floated, thinking and thinking, almost bursting his head. He didn't think that this rare little grass would grow on the cliff of this mountain peak, waiting for him to collect it. If he could find two or three more, it would be a great fortune.
Such a small amount can't solve the problem of not having enough spiritual grass to eat. And with an insufficient amount of spiritual grass, his cultivation will still be extremely slow after a few days, and its help to him won't be as great as imagined.
