Chapter 365 Elixir
After making preparations, Chen Kai finally decided to try to walk through the mist and miasma directly.
"Sister Shuang, you have some of these talismans on your body, just in case." Chen Kai gave Luo Shuang two of them to carry with her, and explained the function of each talisman in detail to her.
Luo Shuang took the jade talismans from Chen Kai and replied: "Yes, OK."
"Then let's go." Chen Kai said. He immediately stepped into the thick foggy area with Luo Shuang...
After entering the fog and miasma, Chen Kai immediately found that his spiritual consciousness had indeed completely lost its function in the fog and miasma. Once it was stimulated, it would directly lose its senses.
The rich fog and miasma can only see a distance of about ten meters, and it is basically blurred if it exceeds ten meters.
"Sister Shuang, give me your hand and hold my hand!" Chen Kai vaguely noticed a strange thing and quickly turned around and said to Luo Shuang. However, this time he turned around, he was immediately shocked.
It was not that Luo Shuang disappeared, but that behind him was completely covered by thick fog, and there was no trace of the outside world at all. You should know that Chen Kai had just stepped into the fog-mias area for a few steps. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely be able to see the situation outside, but now he could not see any of it. How could this make Chen Kai not scared?
"Chen Kai, what's going on?" Luo Shuang subconsciously looked back when she saw Chen Kai's face. After discovering this situation, she couldn't help asking. She quickly stepped forward and grabbed Chen Kai's hand.
Chen Kai stared at the mist where they had just walked in, frowned and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid this place may be a huge maze!"
After saying that, Chen Kai pulled Luo Shuang and said, "Let's go, let's try to walk back and see if we can go out."
"Yes, OK!" Luo Shuang was a little nervous and grabbed Chen Kai's arm tightly. The two of them walked back.
After walking back at least ten steps, Chen Kai stopped, sighed lightly, and said, "It seems that this place should be a maze. We only walked seven or eight steps at most when we came in, but now we have been walking back for more than ten steps and haven't gotten out yet, which is obvious."
"Then...what should I do?" Luo Shuang said anxiously.
Chen Kai patted her arm and comforted her: "Sister Shuang, don't worry too much. If this is just a maze, you can slowly find a way to break the formation. I'm afraid there are other formations mixed here, or some other dangers."
"I can't see anything clearly in it, and my spiritual consciousness has also lost its function. We must be more careful."
"Well. Chen Kai, thank you for your hard work!" Luo Shuang held Chen Kai's palm and answered. She knew very well that she could not help at this time, and might even drag Chen Kai back.
Chen Kai smiled at Luo Shuang and encouraged: "Sister Shuang, it's okay, you have to have confidence!"
"Yeah!" Luo Shuang finally showed her face and smiled. At this time, she really couldn't lose herself, and she had to be calm and composed.
"Sister Shuang, come on. Let's tie it together with a rope first to avoid getting lost accidentally." Chen Kai directly took out a rope from Tian Xingyan's mustard space and said.
It has been confirmed that these fogs and miasma are formed by mazes. If they are not tied together with ropes, they will get lost if they are not careful.
"Okay." Luo Shuang took one end of the rope handed over by Chen Kai and immediately tied the rope to his waist. Chen Kai also tied the other end of the rope to his waist.
In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Chen Kai also left a sensing restriction on Luo Shuang just in case.
After doing all this, Chen Kai then led Luo Shuang forward carefully.
"Chen Kai, should we make some marks on the ground or on this tree?" Luo Shuang suddenly spoke.
Chen Kai nodded and responded, "Well, of course I want it." After that, Chen Kai directly summoned the Flying Star Sword and held it in his hand, carved a very obvious mark on the trunk of the tree next to it, and then continued to move forward.
Basically, if you walk more than ten or twenty steps forward, Chen Kai will use the Flying Star Sword to carve marks on the trunks or stones on the ground.
Before they knew it, Chen Kai and Luo Shuang had been walking in the fog for more than half an hour. At this time, Chen Kai suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, is that 'Qingmingcao'?"
Chen Kai looked at a dark green four-leaf grass growing in the cracks of the rock a few steps ahead. The grass looked exactly the same as the inferior spiritual grass "Qingming Grass" recorded in the information on the inheritance of Tianxingyan.
Luo Shuang didn't understand what the 'green grass' in Chen Kai's mouth was, so he asked: "Chen Kai, what kind of green grass?"
Chen Kai looked back at Luo Shuang, pulled her directly towards the Qingming grass, and explained: "Qingming grass is a kind of spiritual grass that has the effect of removing true qi or true essence impurities and stabilizing cultivation."
"Here, it's this grass." Chen Kai took Luo Shuang to the crack of the rock, pointed at the green grass and said to her.
Luo Shuang looked at the dark green four-leaf grass in surprise and said, "So should we poach it?"
"Well, of course." Chen Kai nodded and responded. Then he carefully dug out the green grass with the roots and whiskers with the flying star sword in his hand, and cleaned the soil.
"Sister Shuang, this Qingming grass is crushed and boiled into a decoction for you to take. It will shorten your time to stabilize your cultivation." Chen Kai said to Luo Shuang with the Qingming grass.
Luo Shuang's cultivation level has just broken through the seventh level of Qi Condensation for a few days and needs to be consolidated. This Qingming grass is just in handy.
"Yes!" Luo Shuang nodded with a slight joy.
"Let's keep going." Chen Kai casually took Qingmingcao back to Tianxingyanzhong, holding a sword in one hand and Luo Shuang in the other, and continued to move forward.
In this foggy and miasma area, there are far more living creatures than the mountains and forests before, and only one or two can be seen occasionally. Chen Kai found several lower-grade spiritual herbs.
Another point is that the spiritual energy of the world in this foggy and miasma area is at least 50% more intense than the previous mountains and forests. This should be one of the reasons why Chen Kai was able to discover spiritual herbs here one after another.
Before they knew it, the sky gradually darkened. Chen Kai and Luo Shuang had been walking in the fog for most of the day. During this half day, the two of them only encountered no more than ten living creatures, which was related to Chen Kai and his friends' vision that could only see within ten meters. However, four spiritual herbs were harvested.
As the sky got dark, Chen Kai and Luo Shuang found a place to set up a tent to rest. Just in case, Chen Kai also set up a defensive formation around the tent with jade.
Under the night, there was still a lot of fog around, and the visibility was even lower. Even Chen Kai's eyesight could only be seen within five or six meters. It was shorter than during the day.
He picked up some dry firewood and raised a bonfire by the camp tent. Chen Kai boiled several spiritual herbs harvested today into soup medicine. Chen Kai's cultivation level was not yet in the Golden Pill stage and could not generate elixir fire. Naturally, he could not use spiritual medicine to refine elixirs directly, but could only boil it into soup medicine to use.
Among the four spiritual medicines, there is another one that is "Tianyin Grass" and the last one is "Purple Peak Flower". All these three spiritual medicines are just inferior spiritual medicines. In addition to Qingming Grass, which removes the impurities of true qi and stabilizes the cultivation level, Tianyin Grass and Purple Peak Flower have the effect of improving cultivation.
However, if you simply boil it into soup and take it, the effect of improving your cultivation will not be very significant. In addition, Tianyin Grass is suitable for people who practice Yin skills, while Zijihua has no restrictions.
"Come on, Sister Shuang, you have all the two bowls of soup and medicine, and then meditate and refine the medicine immediately." Chen Kai handed Luo Shuang the freshly boiled soup. The two bowls of soup were made of a green grass and a sunny grass.
The Nine Heavens Xuanshui Art practiced by Luo Shuang is also a negative technique, which can refine the medicinal effect of Tianyin Grass.
"Yeah, OK!" Luo Shuang hurriedly took two bowls of medicine, then poured it down a few times, and then began to meditate and refine the medicine.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and the two had already used supper.
Seeing that Luo Shuang began to meditate and refine the medicinal power, Chen Kai drank the other two bowls of soup next to him, which were boiled with another Qingming grass and the purple flower.
With the defensive formation set up in advance, Chen Kai was more at ease to meditate and refine the medicinal power. However, when meditating, Chen Kai inevitably divided some of the five consciousnesses to sense the surrounding situations, and did not completely calm down, so as not to avoid any sudden situations and he could not notice them.
After two bowls of soup, Chen Kai quickly felt that the medicinal power began to spread in his body, so he immediately used the mind method to refine the medicinal power.
The medicinal effect of Qingmingcao can also work on the true essence. Although Chen Kai's true essence and true energy are very pure, there will still be some impurities to a greater extent. If there is no spiritual medicine, Chen Kai will have to spend a lot of effort to refine and purify the true essence over and over again before he breaks through the Golden Elixir stage in the future.
Now Qingmingcao can help Chen Kai remove some impurities and save some effort to refine the true essence in the future.
The other is Zijihua. Although Chen Kai's cultivation level cannot be improved a lot at once, it is still possible to increase it slightly.
The effect of a purple flower is probably comparable to Chen Kai's daily practice of ten days and half a month.
In the quiet night, Chen Kai and Luo Shuang sat quietly at the same time to refine the medicinal power in their bodies, and there was still a rich spiritual energy surround them.
Nearly two hours later, Chen Kai took the lead in refining the medicinal power of Qingmingcao and Zi Jihua in his body with a cowardly breath, let out a sigh and slowly stopped exercising his power.
The effect of Qingmingcao eliminated a lot of impurities in his true qi and true essence, while Zi Jihua increased his true qi and true essence.
"If it weren't for this maze, it would be nice to stay here and practice for a while." Chen Kai couldn't help but say to himself.
Chapter completed!
