Chapter 166: Three branches and nine leaves...
One month later, planet Z001 in the south of the empire.
Su You was wrapped tightly, with a super S-level energy stone tied around her waist, and walking in the forest with a light source in her hand.
Wen Yanjia walked in front of her, Yan Shaolang and Xu Shen flanked her on either side, with Ling Yuanzhou following behind. In the past, Su You would have been hesitant to leave her back to Ling Yuanzhou, but now the situation was different. With Fu Fu and Guo Guo by her side, Ling Yuanzhou would have been foolish to attack from behind.
Planet Z001, the first heavily polluted planet the Empire encountered from south to north. The spacecraft circled over it for three days, finding only a patch of forest. The rest was bare plains and hills.
Not to mention plants, not even a stone is left.
This forest, sandwiched between high mountains, had been shielded from the fierce winds, preserving a single forest. Mountains rose on either side, and the already scarce sunlight from above was obscured by the dark leaves. They stepped on the charred fallen leaves, unable to see clearly in front of them without a flashlight.
In this situation, there was absolutely no way to rely on the naked eye to find plants. Su You walked slowly, closed her eyes, and released her mental energy, carefully exploring the plants within a radius of fifty meters around herself.
We have walked through almost three-quarters of the forest. We only need to walk another 500 meters to get out. Unfortunately, we have not found anything so far.
"Yuzu, it's okay. This planet was one of the first to be polluted. It's normal that no plants survive." 0977 comforted.
"Hmm... I think I found one!" She stopped, turned right, and dug out a pitch-black grass from the crack of a huge rock at the foot of the mountain.
Oval papery leaves, short and thick stems, serrated edges... She placed the grass in front of her and looked at it carefully for a long time.
"Sister Youzi, what is this?" Yan Shaolang couldn't help but ask when he saw that she hadn't moved for a long time.
"It's just an ordinary grass..." Su You's mind flashed with images of sheep running madly, and she decided not to tell them what the grass was called.
She felt that these strong men behind her would not be of any use, so she could just keep them for now.
"What is that called?" Yan Shaolang squatted down and touched the serrations on the edge of the leaf. It looked quite unique.
After Su You finished purifying, she discovered that the serrations on the edge of the leaves of the Three Branches and Nine Leaves in her hand were black and very sharp.
"Three-branched nine-leaf grass, soaked in water and taken can... invigorate the spirit and dispel fatigue."
"That's quite useful! Sister Yuzu, you cultivated it, let me try it first."
"……good."
Yan Shaolang took out the biological box and put away the three-branch nine-leaf tree.
There was just a forest on planet Z001, and after walking out, we went straight to Z002.
On the spaceship, Su You was looking for the cultivation manual of Sanzhi Jiuye in the level 5 mall and found that compared with saffron and ginseng, the cultivation manual was relatively cheap.
Ever since she handed over minor matters like Vitality Points and the Myriad Worlds Mall to Wen Yanjia, she hadn't bothered with Vitality Points much. Plants were growing on Yuzu No. 1, and plants on the main planet and other planets in the empire were also gradually becoming more common. Therefore, the daily Vitality Points harvested far outweighed the expenditure.
But when she thought of the sky-high price of the training manual in the level 5 mall, she felt a chill in her heart.
Forget it, let’s take care of the present first and deal with the future later. Anyway, we still have Wen Yangjia.
Leave the saving of money to him.
Taking a leaf, Su You cultivated more than a hundred three-branch and nine-leaf trees, but she planted them all in the system space and had no intention of taking them out.
Su Guoguo is at the peak of her energy and curiosity. Whenever she sees new plants on Yuzu No. 1, she wants to take a bite.
It’s okay to chew ginseng and saffron, but this... don’t let him touch it for the time being. He doesn’t need too much nourishment at such a young age.
"Hahaha! Yuzu, I remembered who is the best fit for this grass."
Su You also had Zan Tian’s face in his mind, and he didn’t know if this would have any effect on him.
Oh no, never mind, let’s make some backup first.
For twenty consecutive days, Su You traveled to all ten heavily polluted planets in the south and discovered that the three branches and nine leaves found on planet Z001 were truly a special case.
Not to mention trees, there is not even a decent flat land on these ten planets. There are standing wooden poles and uneven ground everywhere.
Just as she was about to set off eastward, she received a message from General Yan.
"Actually, 60% of military bases have sentient beings lurking in them! But Yuzu, without Xiaojiu, how does the military identify those high-level sentient beings?"
After returning to the main planet to investigate, Su You discovered that General Yan had no idea who was the enemy and who was the friend. Whenever he discovered that supplies at a military base were being tampered with, he would simply raid them all, knocking out and locking up anyone responsible.
Simple and crude, but effective.
It just so happened that the magical herbs that Sister Mingshuang had promised her, which could identify monsters, had already been uploaded to the Wanjie Mall. She cultivated all of them before returning to the main planet.
The name of this magical herb is quite simple: Demon-Knowing Grass. Normally, the leaves of Demon-Knowing Grass glow green, but if a demon gets within palm-length of them, the leaves turn bright purple.
Only she and Wen Yangjia knew the origin of the Demon-Recognizing Grass. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she directly squeezed the leaves into juice and put it in a transparent glass bottle.
Less than half a day after General Yan was handed over to him, he captured more than a dozen deeply hidden consciousnesses. Fortunately, General Yan's method was simple and crude. He knocked the consciousnesses unconscious before they could react and were still trying to disguise their identities. He also kept injecting them with drugs to prevent them from waking up.
Therefore, the process of handing these dozen people over to Su You was also very smooth. This was the most successful battle against a consciousness in history, and they didn't even raise their guns!
With a dozen mice, Su You started the experiment with confidence.
First, I soaked three branches and nine leaves in water and poured it over the consciousnesses. I found that the dark matter floating around them had not decreased. However, their spirits were much worse. The consciousnesses could no longer maintain their human form, and they slumped like a pool of melted slime, flowing directly to the ground.
"I have a bold guess..." Su You looked at the consciousness "liquid" on the ground, "I think... the effect of the Three Branches and Nine Leaves on consciousness is the opposite of its effect on humans."
"! You mean... this drug can make consciousness weak and powerless?"
Su You laughed, "Yes!"
Then we can boldly predict the effects of ginseng and saffron on consciousness!
He took out a bottle of saffron water and poured it on the consciousness he had captured from Liang Yu.
She could clearly feel that the consciousness was moving slower.
"Master! This cake has broken into pieces!"
In pieces? Su You was a little confused, and kept thinking about the effects of saffron.
Then it dawned on me!
Saffron promotes blood circulation and dissipates blood stasis, but the opposite effect is blood stasis! Conscious bodies don't have blood flow, so what they stagnate is the dark matter that makes up the body!
If this happened on the battlefield, wouldn't it be equivalent to using a powerful move that would freeze them in place?
Oh no! It seems she accidentally created another killer weapon!
