Shen Luo narrowed his eyes and looked at the strange tree carefully.
I saw that its whole body was red, its texture was curved, and there were three or four branches on the top, but there was not a single leaf on it. Even though it was still seven or eight feet away, a heat wave could be detected. The scent emanates from the tree.
When he took a few steps closer, he could clearly feel a scorching wave of air condensing into one place, turning into a wall of heat wave that lay in front of him, making it impossible to approach.
Shen Luo frowned slightly, feeling novel in his heart, so he moved his hands to condense a blue water wave from the surrounding water vapor, causing it to meander and flow, wrapping around the entire heat wave wall like an anaconda. got up.
As soon as the water wave touched the air wall, it made a "hissing" sound, and bursts of white steam began to evaporate, and the surrounding temperature also began to drop.
Seeing this, Shen Luo used the Water Avoidance Technique with one hand, and a layer of aqua-blue light shrouded his whole body. He took one step and entered the air wall, and a scorching heat wave swept over him immediately. Come, surround him, causing the blue light on his body to tremble slightly.
However, after he felt it for a while, he found that although the heat was high, it would not hurt anyone, so he felt relieved and walked towards the strange tree step by step.
But the closer he got, the more frightened he became. The strange tree actually exuded a very strong aura.
"It definitely looks like a rare spiritual tree, but I don't know what its specific function is?" Shen Luo secretly guessed.
At this time, he noticed that under the scattered blue light around the red spiritual tree, there were actually green plants with lofty branches and leaves, and the fragrance of the grass and trees before It's what emanates from him.
"It's really not easy to survive in such a high temperature!" Shen Luo exclaimed with joy.
He is not in a hurry to examine them carefully now, but plans to dig out the spiritual tree first.
He waved one hand, and an afterimage flashed in his sleeve. The half-moon ring flew out of it, hit the ground with a pop, and disappeared directly.
Shen Luo twisted his wrist slightly a few times, and small earth bags appeared one after another on the ground. Then the red spiritual tree suddenly tilted and fell to one side.
After falling to the ground, the red light emitting from the spirit tree suddenly dimmed, and the hot aura emanating from it also disappeared at the same time.
When Shen Luo saw this, his heart tightened. After recalling the half-moon ring, he immediately stepped forward to check.
His palm reached for the spirit tree, and when he was about to pick it up, he suddenly felt a strong burning sensation in his palm. He immediately loosened his palm and dropped the spirit tree to the ground.
When he looked at the spirit tree again, he found that there were faint red crystal lines flowing back and forth on it, and the fluctuations of spiritual energy emitted from it remained unchanged. Only then did he feel relieved. .
However, the temperature on the spirit tree was still very high. Seeing this situation, Shen Luo could only ignore it and go check out the few trees.Here comes a blue spiritual grass.
To his surprise, without the heat wave surrounding the red spiritual trees, the aroma emitted by these spiritual grasses suddenly became richer, and the blue light emitted from them also became stronger. bright.
"Why do the shape and veins of the leaves look similar to those of mountain ginseng?" Shen Luo stared at one of the spiritual grasses for a moment, and a look of doubt suddenly appeared in his eyes.
His family owns a medicine shop, and he comes into contact with a wide variety of herbal medicines on a daily basis. Naturally, he is quite familiar with common herbs such as ginseng and polygonatum, but now this spiritual herb has obviously been classified as an elixir from the fairy family. How come it looks so similar to ordinary mountain ginseng?
Shen Luo was confused, so he took out the half-moon ring and held it in his hand.
It was completely different from when he was digging the tree before. His actions at this time were several times more cautious. First, he gently pushed away the floating soil around a spiritual grass. After the roots of the spiritual grass were exposed, Then he put away the half-moon ring and began to clean it bit by bit with his bare hands.
As the soil around the roots of the spirit grass was slowly cleared away, the roots of a complete spirit grass began to be revealed little by little. The color of its peel and the appearance of its roots were clearly the same as those of wild ginseng. The unique iron lines on wild ginseng are exactly the same.
However, the aroma of grass and trees exuding from this spiritual grass is definitely not found in ordinary wild ginseng, and the rich spiritual energy contained in it is far beyond the reach of even the previous four-leaf flowers and yam. Comparable.
"Could this be the legendary ginseng?" Shen Luo looked hesitantly and couldn't help but exclaimed softly.
It took him a lot of effort and nearly a quarter of an hour to clean out a complete spiritual grass. He pointed at the iron lines embedded in the spiritual grass one by one. Counted it.
The further Shen Luo counted, the more frightened he became. There were actually eleven iron lines on this spiritual grass. If it was really a ginseng, that meant it was a ginseng. A top-quality ginseng that has grown for more than a thousand years is a truly priceless treasure.
He held the spiritual grass in his hand and took a deep sniff of the aroma emanating from it. He suddenly felt a cool breath coming from the tip of his nose to the spiritual platform. His consciousness was also clear, and his whole body breathed. Everything has become much smoother.
"Whether it is ginseng or not, it must be the same as an elixir and a magical herb. You can't miss it."
After Shen Luo made up his mind, he immediately started to collect the remaining few items. After cleaning out all the spiritual herbs, and counting them one by one, it was discovered that all of them were over a thousand years old.
When he happily took off his coat and packed up all the elixirs, the crescent moon in the sky was already hanging high above his head.
Shen Luo turned around and looked at the crimson spirit wood on the side, and saw that the crystal light floating on it had completely disappeared. He tried to reach out and touch it, and found that the temperature on it had also dropped. , just a little warm.
He picked up the red spiritual tree, looked up at the moonlight above his head, and did not continue to search for spiritual grass. Instead, he found a corner in the garden that was sheltered from the wind, and sat cross-legged.Go down, start to close your eyes, adjust your breath, and practice unknown skills.
The man and the moon face each other, but there is no message in the distance.
There are no insects in the garden, only the slightest sound of wind, making it seem empty and lonely.
No words for a night.
The next morning, a ray of sunlight cast down from the wall and reflected on Shen Luo's face.
His eyes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened them. He stood up from the ground, spread his arms, and stretched his muscles. He suddenly felt refreshed and energetic.
When he was in Changshou Village, due to the limited spiritual energy of heaven and earth, his cultivation level has been stagnant since he entered the late stage of soul condensation. Even if he practiced continuously, he made little progress. However, he practiced last night. A long journey, but a fruitful one.
Although there is still a long way to go before breaking through, we can already see hope after all.
Shen Luo looked at the elixirs and spiritual trees on the ground again, and immediately felt good. He picked them all up and continued to explore the other side of Baicao Valley, wanting to see if there were any more gains. .
