Chapter 139 141 Three-Tailed Fox
The flying carpet automatically bounced back the attack of the white light. The thrust generated by the rebounding attack made Rong Xianxian fly backwards instantly. After a dizzying spin, she hid in the flying carpet, holding on to a corner of the carpet tightly. Rong Xianxian, who was knocked unconscious, was confused. What exactly was that white light that attacked her?
What was that slimy barrier she had just hit?
Although she was completely confused, Rong Xianxian had no intention of getting to the bottom of the matter, because with just that attack, the spiritual energy that was originally overflowing in Rong Xianxian's body was almost exhausted.
The feeling of emptiness of spiritual energy in her body made her feel very insecure. Rong Xianxian looked around. It was not the route she had just walked. The vegetation nearby was sparse, and there was a bare hill not far away. Rong Xianxian chose a place with a wide view and looked relatively safe. She practiced the "True Spirit Sutra" and the rich spiritual energy in the secret realm continuously poured into her body. The swaying little flame in Rong Xianxian's dantian suddenly jumped up a bit as if it had taken a tonic.
After Rong Xianxian finished regulating her breathing, she checked the flying carpet that she used as a cushion to sit on. The flying carpet seemed to be fine. Just before the attack came, Rong Xianxian felt a sense of alert in her heart, but the flying carpet had already automatically and frantically extracted the spiritual energy from her body. Could it be that this flying carpet had an automatic early warning function?
Rong Xianxian looked at the flying carpet which had returned to its inconspicuous black bead form and was puzzled. At this moment, the spiritual energy in her body had not yet recovered. She put away the flying carpet, which was a big consumer of spiritual energy, and walked towards the direction of the bare hill.
The small hill seemed to be only a dozen meters high and the area it covered was not very wide. Barren hills without vegetation were not uncommon, but it looked a bit strange that there was neither soil nor sand on the surface of the hill.
Rong Xianxian carefully walked around the hill and continued to move forward. Her target was the patch of wild Gastrodia elata on the other side of the hill. She had discovered the patch of Gastrodia elata when she was looking for a place to regulate her internal energy.
Gastrodia elata has no leaves, only dark red stems that are straight like arrows. It is saprophytic and generally grows on the edge of moist bushes or in sparse woodlands.
Gastrodia elata has the effects of dispelling wind and dredging meridians, calming wind and stopping convulsions, and calming liver yang. It is effective for various diseases such as infantile convulsions, hyperactivity of liver yang, meridian obstruction, and rheumatism and pain. It is a precious medicinal material that can be used as both medicine and food.
Before the end of the world, the Gastrodia elata commonly seen on the market were all artificially cultivated. Wild Gastrodia elata was extremely rare. Occasionally seen, they were small pieces of Gastrodia elata weighing less than half a pound and were less than five years old.
Most of the dark red "red arrow" stems on the aboveground part of this patch of Gastrodia elata are more than two meters tall and very thick and tall. It is unknown how many years they have been growing. Rong Xianxian looked at the large patch of Gastrodia elata, took out a small hoe from the sachet space, and carefully dug up the Gastrodia elata tubers underground.
The soil on the ground is moist and soft, covered with a thick layer of rotten leaves. The vegetation here is sparse, but no one knows how these rotten leaves got here?
The doubts in Rong Xianxian's mind flashed by, and then her attention was attracted by the large piece of Gastrodia elata rhizome that she dug out. Rong Xianxian wiped the dirt on the surface of the Gastrodia elata rhizome and observed carefully. The Gastrodia elata rhizome was oval in shape, with a translucent light brown surface, and a glowing interior, emitting a unique aromatic smell.
"Bang" an ice spike flew past Rong Xianxian's cheek and stabbed into the soil not far away, making a "bang" sound. A small pit appeared there and several Gastrodia elata tubers were turned out around it.
Rong Xianxian turned her head and looked in the direction where the ice cone came from, only to see a strange beast in the shape of a fox with three tails appearing there.
Unlike the slender and graceful foxes that Rong Xianxian knew, this three-tailed fox was fat and had a particularly heavy belly. Could it be a pregnant fox?
When Rong Xianxian hesitated, the three-tailed fox opened its mouth and shot another ice cone at her. Rong Xianxian dodged it nimbly. The three-tailed fox screamed and pounced on her. Rong Xianxian had already activated the soul-calming bell when she dodged. At this time, a wisp of Rong Xianxian's mental power attached to the silent sound wave and attacked the three-tailed fox's brain.
"Ah" the three-tailed fox let out a scream from its throat and turned around and ran away in panic.
The ice cone that the three-tailed fox had just shot to attack Rong Xianxian had created two small pits on the ground. Scattered around the pits were a dozen or so Gastrodia tubers that were either half or fully exposed above the ground. Rong Xianxian quickly walked over to pick up all the Gastrodia tubers, then dug around the small pits. She estimated that she had dug out forty or fifty tubers, and only then did she stop.
Rong Xianxian brushed off the dirt on her hands and body, glanced at the three-tailed fox that was peeking from behind a big tree not far away, then turned and left.
Seeing Rong Xianxian walking away, the three-tailed fox walked over carefully, filled the two small pits with its flexible claws, and scattered some dead leaves around them and put them on top.
The sky in the secret realm was foggy and there was no sun. The directions were all defined by Rong Xianxian herself. She took the golden fruit tree not far from the entrance to the secret realm as the east, the hazy waters in the north, and now this low hilly area was in the northeast.
Should we go east or north?
When Rong Xianxian first entered the secret realm, she was filled with dense spiritual energy, which shocked her and made her, who was originally at the peak of the Chongmai realm, ready to make some new moves.
She tried her best to suppress it, so she didn't break through and advance to the next level at that time.
After suffering an unidentified attack, the spiritual energy in her body was depleted. Rong Xianxian practiced the "True Spirit Sutra" to absorb spiritual energy and restore the spiritual energy stored in her body. However, she was forced to stop before she could fully recover.
She had no choice but to stop. If she continued to recover, she would not be able to suppress her realm and would probably upgrade directly.
It is unknown how long it will take to advance from the Chongmai Realm to the Qiqiao Realm. She must find a safe place and have trustworthy people around her to feel at ease.
Thinking of this, Rong Xianxian, who had already collected a lot of spiritual medicines and fruits, calculated the time spent in the secret realm, thought about the two children entrusted to Cui Lie to take care of, and decided to return to the entrance of the secret realm, pick the golden light fruit and run away.
Having made up her mind, Rong Xianxian used the swift movement skills from the "Wind Control Technique" and, with the help of the swift movement talisman under her feet, she quickly moved towards the direction of the golden fruit tree.
He picked up some pleasing medicinal herbs along the way, and actually almost got most of the auxiliary medicines needed for Tuomai Pills.
Rong Xianxian was in a good mood. After she picked the golden light fruit, she prepared the Tuomai Pill and took it when she was promoted. The meridians in her body, which were already very strong and tough, would become even stronger. I wonder what her meridians will become like then?
