Chapter 17 The Secret of the Mountainside (Revision)
After the spiritual power was injected, the spiritual sword became extremely sharp. With a slight movement, it was inserted into the stone wall. When the hands were stirred slightly, it cut off a stone about half a human size.
Xiao Chen put the stone aside and looked at the dark cave in front of him. His face showed a little hesitation, and then his eyes slightly condensed, revealing a firm look. He walked towards the inside of the cave.
The light in the cave was extremely dim. Xiao Chen moved the weak spiritual power in his body to his eyes, and could only see the way forward clearly, and explore and move forward slowly.
After going more than ten feet deep, Xiao Chen suddenly stopped and picked up his hand from the mountain and twisted it. He felt a little dampness, and a little surprised expression appeared on his face, and he murmured: "Is there a subway here?"
He moved forward again and went deeper for more than ten feet. The damp air in the air gradually became heavier. When he turned a corner, there was indeed a sound of water flowing in his ears.
At the same time, a very faint smell of medicine also followed.
"Hmm? The smell of the green lotus?" Xiao Chen's face suddenly showed a look of surprise. He stayed in the Lingyao Valley for several days. Although he had not learned any alchemy skills, when helping the outer disciples pack up the spiritual medicine, he also recorded a few more precious spiritual herbs. This green lotus was just one of them.
"No, the fragrance of the green lotus is slightly sweet. Although this taste is very similar to it, it has a slightly sour atmosphere. It seems that it should be the smell of some kind of wild grass." Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head. This green lotus is extremely precious and can be used to refine more than ten kinds of precious elixirs. How can it be seen everywhere?
But at this moment, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel curious. He stretched his neck and looked forward. He couldn't see it clearly, so he continued to step towards the source of the water flow.
"Crazy", "Crazy", "Crazy"
The sound of water flowing closer and closer, and the fragrance of medicine in the air also increased. There was also the green lotus, even the smell of top-grade spiritual herbs such as Iron Vines, Jinzhicao and Polygonum multiflorum. After taking a deep breath, I felt a trembling and comfortable whole body.
Xiao Chen's steps were accelerated unconsciously. When he walked along the cave to the end, he found that there was a dead end in front of him, but the clear flowing water came from behind the stone wall. Xiao Chen reached out and knocked on the stone wall, and immediately made a "bang" and "bang".
"Fortunately, the stone wall should not be thick." Xiao Chen breathed a little relieved, reached out and took out the spirit sword from the storage bag. With the mana injected, he tried to force everything towards the stone wall in front of him. Like cutting tofu to the knife, the holes that could allow ordinary people to enter and exit were dug out.
As the stone fell, a bright light suddenly shot out from the cave. Xiao Chen reached out to block his hand and looked inward with his eyes. But before he could reach into the cave, a strong and extremely fragrant medicine escaped from the cave instantly.
"Cough cough!! Cough cough!!" After taking a breath of his nose, Xiao Chen's face suddenly couldn't help but flushed, and he turned around and coughed violently. The fragrance of this medicine was so strong that it was beyond ordinary people's imagination. It seemed that dozens or hundreds of spiritual herbs were mixed together, and then sealed and allowed to grow. Only after dozens or even hundreds of years of precipitation could it reach this point.
Although Xiao Chen's face was flushed due to a violent cough, his dark eyes were instantly filled with ecstasy! This time, the rich aroma of medicine entered his nose, and although he suffered a little, he also made him instantly sure that there were dozens or hundreds of spiritual herbs growing in the cave in front of him, and their growth year was definitely not low! Because when he was inhaling the aroma of medicine just now, although the aroma of medicine was mottled, the spicy smell could not be blocked!
"Soulb Broken Grass!" Xiao Chen's mouth raised, revealing a joyful look. This smell was definitely emitted by this poisonous spirit herb that killed people in his breath! Moreover, this spicy smell is so strong that it is far beyond the century-old heartbreaking grass that Xiao Chen saw in the Spiritual Medicine Valley. It can be seen that its growth period is extremely long!
After waiting for a while, Xiao Chen suppressed the heat in his heart. When the fragrance of medicine dissipated slightly, he covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves and stepped into it in one step.
The faint fluorescence emitted from the stone walls around him made him feel a brief discomfort. When his vision resumed to see the scene in front of him, Xiao Chen couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, his eyes filled with shock.
I saw that the grottoes behind the stone wall were about hundreds of feet in size, and there was a strange crystal of light white color on the surface of the stone wall. This faint light emanated from the crystal. There was a crack above the grottoes, and Juanjuan's water flowed down from it. The water flowed on the ground. After a few years of impact, the mud and sand carried carried formed a delta of about twenty feet in size in the grottoes. Countless species of spiritual weeds were born in a mess. The water flow slowly flowed over the delta and then flowed into a small pool behind it. The pool should be connected with the underground waterway, so the water quality was extremely clear, but it was dark and could not be seen at the bottom, so it was a little deeper.
Xiao Chen's eyes slowly swept through the cave, and he quickly closed his eyes tightly, took more than ten consecutive breaths, and then he barely suppressed the thought of yelling in his heart!
Two hundred years old Polygonum multiflorum!
Three hundred years of golden grass!
Four hundred years of honeysuckle!
Three hundred years of iron vines!
.....
Looking at the heavy spiritual herbs growing like weeds in the grotto, Xiao Chen almost felt like he was in a dream!
After a long time, he slowly calmed down, his brows frowned slightly, and he couldn't help but look a little hesitant.
"Why are there so many spiritual herbs in this mountain belly? How can they survive in such a place?" It is necessary to know that spiritual herbs are extremely complicated to plant and need careful care from monks to grow. However, no one has ever been in this cave, and this matter is a bit strange.
But at this moment, Xiao Chen's eyes fell on the strange crystal on the stone wall, his face suddenly changed slightly, and then he slowly closed his eyes. The "Grass and Trees Biochemistry" in his body slowly moved. The next moment, he opened his eyes wide in horror, and after a while, two words popped out of his mouth, "Spiritual Vein!"
In this grotto, the spiritual power is much more abundant than the outside world, and even the medicine gardens for the spiritual herbs planted by the Taozi are much richer! In this way, there is only one explanation, that is, there is a small spiritual vein hidden under this grotto! This spiritual vein is definitely not big, even a few meters in size. Otherwise, it would have been noticed by the monks in the sect that this place is abnormal and cannot wait until Xiao Chen discovered it. The crystal stones emitting fluorescent on the stone wall have also been explained, and it must have been gradually transformed because of the long-term erosion of spiritual energy. If hundreds or thousands of years have passed, they may even become real spirit stones.
But even if the reason why these spiritual herbs survived was found, where did these spiritual herb seeds come from? Could it be that they were born out of thin air?
Xiao Chen's eyes swept through the grotto, then condensed slightly, walked quickly above the water, and his eyes fell sharply in the clear flowing water, as if he was looking for something. A moment later, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he put his hand in the water and grabbed it. A blue and slightly flattened seed was instantly held by him. His eyes fell on this kind of seed, and Xiao Chen suddenly remembered that it seemed that there was only one living water flowing down from the mountain in the Luoyun Valley, and it happened to flow out not far from his medicine garden. Thinking of this, all the medicine gardens in the sect had water, and this was the only source of water available for all the medicine gardens in the sect! Looking at the seeds in his hand, Xiao Chen slowly showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then quickly spread to his entire face, and he murmured: "Creation, creation! This is my Xiao Chen's fortune!"
There are countless medicinal gardens in Luoyun Valley that need to be introduced into the medicinal garden. In this way, the mature spiritual herb accidentally fell into the water flow and washed away by it. However, the water flow happened to flow into the grotto along the cracks of the mountain, and there happened to be a small spiritual vein in the grotto. By chance, a prescription medicine garden hidden in the grotto was born!
.....
Half a day later, Xiao Chen was still unsatisfied and returned from the original road in the grotto. Although this abandoned medicine garden was extremely remote and rarely passed by, just in case, Xiao Chen still put the stone back in place, and then arranged some weeds and rocks outside casually until he was sure that no one would notice it. Then he nodded with satisfaction.
"I thought it was an abandoned place, but luck made people feel bad. Who would have thought that there was such a huge opportunity hidden in this abandoned medicine garden!"
"That section of Tianhua was intended to harm me, but he didn't expect that he would give me a fortune!"
Xiao Chen smiled up and said that the things in this world were so wonderful. If Tianhua knew about it at this time, he would be so angry that he vomited blood and died on the spot.
After a while, Xiao Chen calmed down and pondered: "Although the medicine garden is extremely remote, in order to prevent accidents, some simple prohibitions should be laid outside the valley. Even if it cannot prevent people from entering, it can serve as an early warning, but it is enough."
Yao Daozi was very good to him, a registered disciple. Although he had never taught him personally, he had never been stingy with all kinds of primary jade slips. This "Basics of Formation" happened to be in it.
