The cliff under the grass looked like a winding and steep road. Li Yiru was only 13 years old. Although she had grown taller, she was still thin. The road only allowed her to pass by huddled together.
There was grass underfoot, and every step was extremely difficult. Occasionally, she would slip, and when she saw the abyss at the edge, Li Yiru's heart would tremble.
He used the wood-related magic to wrap his feet, which gave him a sense of security and allowed him to continue moving forward. However, he also had to pay attention to the snow conditions, fearing that he would accidentally fall.
After walking down about a hundred meters, Li Yirou keenly smelled a faint scent of grass and wood. Duobao squeaked twice, very excited.
However, the source of the fragrance was surrounded by dense circles of thorns, and it was impossible to see what plants were inside.
Li Yiru used a gold-based spell, but it only made a scratch on the thorn, which healed after a while, and the fragrance of the spiritual plant also became a little weaker.
Duobao squeaked twice in dissatisfaction, as if mocking her for being weak.
Could this thorn be a Soul-Eating Thorn? It's a second-tier spiritual plant, often growing alongside higher-tier spiritual plants, tightly surrounding them.
But at the same time, it can also protect the spiritual plant. Only when it is injured will it absorb the other's spiritual energy. The two plants gradually formed a symbiotic relationship.
This soul-devouring thorn alone is worth 10 points, and can be used to refine magic weapons or elixirs, not to mention the spiritual plant it guards, which is at least a third-level spiritual plant worth 15 points!
Let her think about how to dig out the soul-devouring thorns. Li Yiru only hated herself. She was afraid that the jade slips contained some anti-loss and positioning devices, and that they would involve space, so she kept them at home.
It seems that this spiritual plant is not afraid of ordinary fire or ordinary tools. In addition, the spiritual plant that protects it can feed back its spiritual energy, making it difficult to cut off.
It seems that we can use flooding to loosen the soil where it is rooted, and then use the Golden Sword Technique, but this time its roots are in the crevices of the cliffs, so flooding is not an option.
Li Yiru's earth-based magic was not yet strong enough to move the rocks, and she was worried that if the rocks moved, the path would collapse.
The first peak is at a low altitude and many people pass by. Li Yiru doesn't want to make too much noise and attract attention.
Taxue and Duobao were so anxious that they didn't know what to do. Li Yiru decided to give it a try.
I hit you once and you'll recover in a moment. If I hit you a hundred times, a thousand times, how are you going to cope? She was once a user on Pinduoduo who got 50 RMB in anger after a single hit. Her patience and perseverance are beyond question.
With the Golden Sword Technique, the Soul-Devouring Thorn quickly replenished its spiritual energy and recovered. However, after dozens of cuts, its healing speed gradually began to slow down. After hundreds of cuts, its companion spiritual plant was no longer willing to lend it more spiritual power.
After thousands of cuts, it completely loosened the branches covered with sharp thorns. It decided to wash itself and quietly shook off a seed. It couldn't survive here, so it wanted to go somewhere else. Unexpectedly, the snow-covered tree was extremely sensitive and caught the dropped seed in one gulp.
Li Yirou carefully wrapped the thorns with cloth and pushed them aside, revealing a black Ganoderma lucidum!
Black Ganoderma, also known as Bu Tian Zhi, is an indispensable spiritual medicine for refining foundation-building pills. Although it is only a third-level spiritual plant, it is rare, difficult to cultivate, and extremely precious.
Unexpectedly, despite the strong wind blowing on the cliff, it could grow to be as black as ink with thick branches and leaves.
It would be a shame to sell this thing, as she'd probably lose all 50 points. But if she kept it, it would be useless for a long time, which was a dilemma.
Carefully putting the two things into the backpack, Li Yiru climbed back to the top of the mountain with difficulty.
Now it would not be enough to just use the Soul-Devouring Thorn. It would make people suspect that she got something good and was reluctant to give it away. Especially if her master heard it, it would not be good as she would not be showing filial piety to him.
But she is really poor...
While she was struggling, Taxue rubbed her hand and spit a seed into her palm. Li Yirou almost forgot about this. She took out the array plate, activated the concealment array, entered the space and planted the soul-devouring thorns first.
Now that she has reached the second level of Qi Refining, the time she can stay in the space has increased exponentially. On the first level, she could stay there for 1 minute, but now she can stay there for 10 minutes.
After much thought, Li Yiru gritted her teeth and prepared to present it to her master.
One was to repay his kindness, and the other was that the master was very generous. When he delivered food to her, he gave her a handful of spiritual herbs, and later when she was injured, he gave her the tonic pill.
Although the value of this spiritual plant is not very high in the eyes of a foundation-building cultivator, it is also a token of her thoughtfulness.
At worst, she could sell the Soul-Devouring Thorns openly, so that she could at least buy a storage bag.
She packed up and went back to the courtyard first. She applied blood spirit herb ointment on her wounds and fed spiritual herbs to Taxue and Duobao. Taxue didn't eat much of it and Duobao ate all of it.
Duobao is also a little hero. No wonder Taxue wants to keep him. This little guy is a treasure-hunting rat.
But its fur turned from golden white to gray, and it looked more and more like an ordinary mouse. Li Yiru really had some psychological problems and didn't like touching it as much as before.
She wanted to find her master, but the little Taoist boy who had told her not to be silly was guarding the door. "The elder is practicing, and no one is allowed to disturb him."
She was playing with a little bird in her hand. Its feathers were gray and it looked as ugly as Duobao.
But this black Ganoderma lucidum can't be stored outside for long. Her low-level storage bag can't seal the spiritual energy. Li Yirou was anxious, "Then can you tell me when Master is better?"
The girl shook her head. "I just came out and was about to go back to the house. I don't know when the elder will finish practicing."
"What's the matter?" The girl raised her eyebrows and looked at her. Li Yirou thought that she was a Taoist child, equivalent to the master's secretary, so she told her the reason.
The girl pulled her aside and said, "You're stupid! It's useless to the elders. Why don't you just find someone you know in the Deacon Hall and sell it to them?"
She glanced back and forth. Li Yirou had made up her mind and didn't intend to change it. Just as she was about to talk more, she suddenly felt a sense of spiritual awareness peeking in. The girl actually changed her words and said, "The elder is practicing. He said no one is allowed to disturb him."
Then, the master's voice came from the courtyard, "What's the matter?"
The girl winked at her and said, "Elder, Junior Sister Li has picked some spiritual plants and wants to give them to you."
Li Yirou also saw that the matter was settled and smiled at her. The two of them tacitly guarded their shared secret. Li Yirou turned and entered the master's residence, "Master, I found a plant on the mountain..."
Han Yuzhen looked at her, and his spiritual sense swept over. Li Yiru did not use the bracelet to hide her cultivation level. She wanted to let her master know that she was not a complete waste, and hoped that the other party would not kick her out.
"Good, good, good. You have reached the second level of Qi Refining so quickly." Han Yuzhen didn't care about the black Ganoderma lucidum in her hand. He said three good words in succession, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Li Yirou didn't crave his praise like her senior sister. She pretended to be happy and a little embarrassed to be praised by her elders, but her heart ached as if it was bleeding. 50 points!!! Her storage bag and spirit sword!
