The next day, Qing Xuanzi harvested all the crops.
On the third day, Qing Xuanzi prepared to leave the valley with Rong Jiaojiao.
He set up a barrier at the entrance to the valley, and Rong Jiaojiao asked him, "Master, where are we going?"
Qing Xuanzi said, "Master is going to the capital to contact the sect, so Jiaobao must remember not to accept anything outside. You must remember that, understand?"
Rong Jiaojiao nodded: "Master, Jiaojiao will definitely be obedient."
Qing Xuanzi nodded: "This time we won't take a car, we'll go through the mountains to find more spiritual herbs to help you improve your cultivation quickly. Then your master can teach you other techniques."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded obediently: "Master, Jiaojiao will remember."
"Good girl!" Qing Xuanzi patted her head.
After quickly sealing off the valley, Qing Xuanzi led Rong Jiaojiao from the valley entrance and walked along the trees in the forest.
Qing Xuanzi said to Rong Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, we'll be traveling through the mountains the whole way, so why don't you use your Yuan energy to get there?"
"This will improve your lightness skill, and once you learn magic, practicing the lightness technique will be much easier."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded: "Master, I know how to use light footwork!"
Qing Xuanzi nodded, lifted his leg and walked ahead, occasionally looking back at Rong Jiaojiao following behind him. He saw her short legs moving quickly, keeping up closely with him.
The surrounding area is a dense forest, and sunlight filters through the leaves, casting patches of light on the ground.
A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, as if bidding them farewell.
Qing Xuanzi's steps may not seem fast, but in reality, Rong Jiaojiao needs to exert all her strength to catch up.
Fortunately, when Qing Xuanzi encounters usable medicinal herbs, he stops to explain the medicinal effects of various herbs to Rong Jiaojiao, telling her which ones are useful and which ones are poisonous.
He also dug up a lot of medicinal herbs to strengthen her bones and muscles, and had Rong Jiaojiao plant them in the treasure vessel so that she wouldn't have to search for medicinal herbs everywhere when she turned six to practice her body.
Occasionally, when they encounter prey, they will stop to hunt.
With time to stop and go, Rong Jiaojiao was able to rest and barely managed to keep going until noon before exhausting her energy.
At noon, Qing Xuanzi and Rong Jiaojiao ate the chicken soup and steamed buns prepared by Qing Xuanzi. After resting for a while, they set off again.
Rong Jiaojiao stopped and said, "Master, there's something delicious over there."
Qing Xuanzi was overjoyed; this meant there were valuable medicinal herbs or good materials.
He picked up Rong Jiaojiao, not rushing to look for the things, but instead discussing with her, "Jiaojiao, how about you don't put the things into the treasure artifact later?"
Rong Jiaojiao was puzzled and turned to look at him: "Why?"
Qing Xuanzi explained, "You tend to sleep for a long time once you pack your things, but we still need to travel. How about I pack them for you first, and then give them back to you when we arrive at our destination?"
Rong Jiaojiao understood and nodded: "Okay, Jiaojiao will be a good girl!"
Qing Xuanzi then carried Rong Jiaojiao and walked in the direction she pointed.
Before they had gone far, Rong Jiaojiao pointed to a huge ancient tree and said, "Master, the delicious food is over there."
Qing Xuanzi arrived at the ancient tree. The tree's root system was extremely developed, with intertwined roots, resembling a huge natural net.
The tree trunk is incredibly thick, requiring several people to encircle it. The bark is covered with the marks of time, crisscrossed with grooves, like wrinkles etched by the years.
Rong Jiaojiao pointed to the roots of the ancient tree, her eyes sparkling: "Master, it's there. I can feel something delicious there."
Qing Xuanzi used his divine sense to search carefully inch by inch, and soon found something under the tree roots.
He stepped forward, squatted down, and gently brushed away the dust and fallen leaves with his hands, revealing a large blue Ganoderma lucidum hidden under the tree roots.
Qing Xuanzi was overjoyed and carefully dug it out using his magic.
This Ganoderma lucidum is a mesmerizing deep blue color, emitting a faint fluorescence. Its cap has natural patterns and a refreshing aroma.
"Master, what is this? It's so beautiful!" Rong Jiaojiao looked at the blue Ganoderma lucidum with sparkling eyes.
Qing Xuanzi gently stroked the Ganoderma lucidum and said, "This is a wood Ganoderma lucidum. It is different from ordinary Ganoderma lucidum. It belongs to the category of spiritual medicine and is a very precious spiritual material."
"It grows at the roots of ancient trees, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the vitality essence of the ancient trees, making it extremely rare."
"Its medicinal effects are extremely strong, and it can be used to refine high-grade pills called Vitality Pills. It is the main ingredient of Vitality Pills."
Rong Jiaojiao, not understanding, asked, "What is a Vitality Pill?"
His small eyes were fixed on the Ganoderma lucidum, and he kept swallowing his saliva.
Qing Xuanzi quickly and carefully put the wood spirit mushroom into the jade box, affixed a sealing talisman, and then put it into his Qiankun bracelet.
Then he explained to Rong Jiaojiao, "The Vitality Pill is a pill that replenishes a person's vitality. It can prolong the life of someone whose vitality is waning and increase their lifespan."
Then he earnestly said to Rong Jiaojiao, "This Ganoderma lucidum is very precious. Let's keep it for now and not let the treasure absorb it, okay?"
"Wait until your master takes it and asks those senior elders for more spirit stones. It will be more cost-effective for you to use spirit stones for cultivation then, okay?"
Rong Jiaojiao nodded sensibly: "Okay, I'll listen to Master."
Qing Xuanzi patted her head: "Jiaojiao, be good. Your master will try to get you more help later."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded and pointed to the other side: "Master, there are some delicious things over there. Can Jiaojiao eat them?"
Qing Xuanzi followed the direction of Rong Jiaojiao's finger with his divine sense and, sure enough, discovered another wood spirit mushroom.
Qing Xuanzi was now quite unsettled. Could it be that the area under such a large tree is particularly suitable for the growth of Ganoderma lucidum?
Look up at this big tree. I can't recognize what kind of tree it is, but I'll make a mental note of this location so I can come back and visit it again sometime.
He took out a chicken leg and gave it to Rong Jiaojiao, saying, "Jiaojiao, eat this. Master is going to gather herbs. With these spiritual herbs, you won't have to worry about cultivation resources after you reach the Mage realm."
Rong Jiaojiao took it and immediately put it in her mouth, nibbling away with her little mouth moving, her eyes glancing at the Ganoderma lucidum from time to time.
Seeing her greedy look, Qing Xuanzi couldn't help but laugh. He patted her head and said, "You eat the chicken leg first. Master will go dig out all those wood spirit mushrooms and tell you how amazing they are later."
After saying that, Qing Xuanzi carefully walked towards the wood spirit mushrooms.
As he walked, he carefully probed his surroundings with his divine sense, fearing that some guardian beast might suddenly appear.
When he arrived at the Ganoderma lucidum, he squatted down and gently brushed away the surrounding soil with his hands, afraid of damaging this treasure.
He muttered to himself, "This Ganoderma lucidum is really a good thing. If we could dig up more, Jiaojiao's cultivation would be more secure in the future."
Rong Jiaojiao munched on a chicken leg, her eyes fixed on Qing Xuanzi.
She saw Qing Xuanzi dig out the wood spirit mushrooms one by one, carefully place them into a jade box, and affix a sealing talisman. She followed him closer to watch.
After Qing Xuanzi carefully searched under the big tree, he found three more wood spirit mushrooms, which made him extremely happy.
