Vol 2 Chapter 10: Looking for grass

The breeze blew, the atmosphere in the field quickly dissipated, and the two corpses that were submerged by weeds gradually disappeared in the depths of the grass behind them. After autumn and winter, the traces left by these two people on the world may also be Will be rubbed away so quietly, nothing is left.
Shen Shi walked forward with Xiao Hei with a blank expression on his face and a little cold. He didn't have any fear or fear because of this accident, and he didn't intend to turn around. In fact, Shen Shi had some surprises about how calm his mood was. This was far from the first time he saw death, or even the first time his hands were stained with blood. He thought lightly in his heart, could it be there? After three years in the Demon Realm, did you really numb yourself after training?
Have you even looked down on life and death?
He recalled the battle not long ago. During the whole process, he was very calm. Even when he personally killed the monk who intended to kill him, his state of mind did not seem to be shaken at all. It felt like... as if he was still in The endless battles in the demon world fought.
Shen Shi shook his head abruptly, with a look of surprise, and suddenly put aside the inexplicable thought in his mind.
The little black pig seemed to feel something. He raised his head and looked at him, chewing on the spiritual grass in his mouth, tusk.
Shen Shi took a breath, calmed down again, looked down at the little pig, and said, "It's just a piece of spiritual grass, haven't you finished it after eating it for a long time?"
The little black pig chirped twice, seeming to be answering, but no one knew what it meant.
Shen Shi shook his head and continued to walk forward.
In the Wishful Bag around his waist, the spirit crystals at this moment had become fifteen. Except for the original ones, the extra number was found from the withered monk who wanted to kill him but was killed. . Shen Shi didn't have that kind of special loftyness, and he had no psychological pressure to search for spirit crystals from that monk. In addition to the spirit crystals, he also found three spirit grasses in the withered cultivator's body package, but the ranks were all the most common first-order spirit grasses, even if they were obtained in Broken Moon City, they would not be able to exchange many spirit crystals. It is conceivable that this withered monk does not seem to have much wealth.
Perhaps it is because of too much embarrassment, so are we going to take it?
Shen Shi didn't know the reason for this, because he hadn't seen this person before today, and didn't want to know anything at all. For him, that withered cultivator was just a dead person. It's just that when he was leaving, he would occasionally think about whether he would be on the road to cultivation, how many monks like this one, and what would happen to his future?
He thought, no matter what, he still couldn't leave Ling Xiaozong.
Half an hour later, he and the little black pig arrived at Silver Moon Lake.
Yinyue Lake is a large lake covering a thousand acres. The water quality is clear and the aquatic plants are lush. Along the lakeside there are large tracts of reeds as high as one person, plus the layers of redwood and aquatic plants in the shallow cement, like an endless stretch of water. Once a person walks in the water forest, even if they are close at hand, they may not be able to find each other.
This is the place where the water is abundant and the environment is good. It is most suitable for the growth of some spiritual grasses, especially the water-loving spiritual grasses. For many years, it has been a treasured place of feng shui for many casual repairs to collect spiritual grasses, only Yinyue Lake. It’s not just humans that are infested for casual cultivation. There are also many wild monsters in those reeds and aquatic forests. From time to time, there have been news of the accidental death of monks who came to gather medicine and hunt in these years, but it has not been dispelled. The enthusiasm of the monks who came here to explore.
Originally, is there a good thing in the world that rewards without risk? Even if there is, it is only the enjoyment of those monks who came from a family of famous children, and it has nothing to do with most casual cultivation. Therefore, those who should gather medicine will come to gather medicine. When encountering monsters, they will resist or escape with all their strength. There are even some daring monks who come here to hunt the monsters. After all, those monsters are here. The body parts that contain spiritual power, including the demon pills that can only be condensed by high-level monsters, are very precious spiritual materials, and they can be sold at a good price in shops in Broken Moon City and other places.
It’s just that, after thinking about it, all these hard work to gather spirit grass, including risking the risk of hunting monsters and then going back in exchange for spirit crystals, is so much worse than directly killing and looting...
When Shen Shi stepped into the tall reed forest, such a strange thought suddenly flashed through his mind. No wonder the withered monks moved these crooked thoughts and directly killed and looted. The speed at which the spirit crystals really came. Simple and rude, but much faster.
But then he himself shook his head, he would not go this way. When others want to kill him, he will kill him in self-defense and then take the spirit crystal. Shen Shi has no psychological hindrance, but he wants him to take the initiative to rob and kill, but Shen Shi has no such idea in his heart, not to mention the famous sect of the Lingxiao sect. The rules are strict, if this kind of behavior spreads to the sect after doing it, then his fate will be irreversible.
The little black pig didn’t know when he had eaten the spiritual grass in his mouth. At this time, he dived into the reed forest, not far in front of Shen Shi, smelling everywhere, looking very motivated. Look like. Shen Shi followed behind it and walked slowly forward, looking around from time to time, but gradually his brows wrinkled, seeming a little dazed.
When he came to Yinyue Lake, what Shen Shi was thinking about was to come over and take a look, and collect some spirit grass by the way. It's just that Shen Shi found out that he really didn't collect spirit grass when he arrived at the Yinyue Lake with lush vegetation.
Yes, although Shen Shi grew up on the first floor of Tianyi, he knows many common or rare spiritual plants, but he has never really been like those casual cultivators, in exchange for spiritual crystals, he has to work hard in the wilderness. Go to gather medicine. He may be familiar with the Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia, and perhaps understand that the appearance and pharmacological effects of many spirit grasses are their unique characteristics, but these things may be helpful for collecting medicines, but they still cannot completely replace the experience of collecting medicines.
He walked for a long time, but he still didn't find a spiritual grass on the bank of Silver Moon Lake, which is known to be rich in spiritual grass.
The book finally feels shallow. Shen Shi realized the truth of this sentence again, but just as he secretly sighed, the little black pig in front of him suddenly stopped, and the little pig raised his head. After sniffing the air twice, there was a sudden excitement hum, and he plunged into the dense reeds next to him.
Shen Shi was taken aback. The reed forest was too dense. It was a bit hard to find if it was going to be scattered. He hurried up to follow up. At the same time, he felt that the soil on the bottom of his feet seemed to be wetter and sparser than when he first entered the reed forest It was a lot softer, and it seemed that it was already closer to Silver Moon Lake unconsciously.
I saw the little black pig flying around on all fours, running fast, and at the same time very excited. After running out of the reeds for about five or six feet, he suddenly stopped somewhere at the shadow roots of the reeds. The two front hooves stretched out and began to dig hard.
Shen Shi walked over from behind and watched the black mud being shoveled away under the flipping of the two pig's feet, and soon a striking white was revealed in the ground.
"Huh?" Shen Shi was a little surprised. He squatted down beside the little black pig without any help. He watched the little black pig dig out the soil with great enthusiasm, and dug out an orange-sized man. Strange fruit with pure white color.
It’s actually a bit inappropriate to say that it’s a fruit. It stands to reason that this kind of thing that grows underground should be called a tuber, but when the little black pig smiled and happily just wanted to open his mouth and bite it, Shen Shi took his mouth from his mouth. Grabbing food, snatching it over, took it in his hand and examined it carefully.
The little black pig suddenly uttered a grieving cry, rubbing against him, turning around and looking at a very anxious look, half-opened his mouth, as if he would be hungry if he didn't give him this food. died.
Shen Shi touched the weird white tuber with his fingers. The tentacles felt moist and delicate, and there was a faint sweet fragrance that made people smell very comfortable. He thought about it carefully, and then his eyes lit up, as if thinking of something. .
"This is'Baluogen', the second-grade spirit grass, it would be too wasteful for you to eat like this." Shen Shi said to the little black pig.
The little black pig opened his mouth wide and seemed to be stunned. It was as if he heard a sudden major blow like being struck by five thunders. His whole body was stiff and motionless. After a while, the little black pig suddenly let out a whine and lay down on the ground. Buried in the soil, it looked very painful.
Shen Shi rolled his eyes as he watched it and scratched his head. Such a second-grade spirit grass Bailuo root, newly dug out and in good condition, can sell at least five spirit crystals on the market, of course not. It was eaten by the little black pig in vain. But looking at the depressed appearance of the little black pig, Shen Shi was also faintly embarrassed, thinking that this little guy could find the spirit grass so much, and he really couldn't tell...
Wait, looking for spirit grass?
Shen Shi suddenly shook his body, as if thinking of something, when he looked at the depressed little black pig at his feet, his eyes were a little different, and the little black pig immersed himself in the mud without noticing anything.
Shen Shi looked at Piggy, his expression changed a few times, as if he was thinking of something. After a while, he reached out and patted Piggy's forehead lightly.
The little black pig's head moved, and his two little ears flicked, but he still couldn't afford to bury his head, pretending to be dead.
Shen Shi coughed, thought about it, stretched out his hand on the Ruyi bag and touched it, then spread it out beside the pig's head, a little light flashed, and a beautiful spiritual crystal was lying in his palm.
As soon as the little black pig moved, he jumped up suddenly, grabbed Shen Shi's palms with his two front hooves, and hummed hummingly, instantly enthusiastic.
Shen Shi smiled, touched the little black pig's forehead, and said, "Do you like this spirit crystal?"
The little black pig nodded repeatedly.
Shen Shi said again: "Which one do you prefer, spirit crystals and those spirit grasses?"
This time the little black pig seemed to hesitate, but in the end he looked at the spirit crystal in his palm, showing a salivating look.
Shen Shi secretly shook his head in his heart, wondering if the spiritual power in the spiritual crystals is more pure than the spiritual power contained in the spiritual grass, so this little pig likes it so much? But now that the pig likes spirit crystals, it's easy to handle.
Shen Shi picked it up, put it on his lap, and said with a smile: "Well, then you will help me find three, no, four...well..." His eyes rolled, one A slap stretched out, "If I find five spiritual plants every day, I will give you a spiritual crystal, okay?"
The little black pig looked down, and saw that the spiritual crystal in Shen Shi's palm exuded a dazzling, strangely beautiful light, reflected in its eyes, as if it had also become shining stars, which is really alluring. .
Under the brilliance of the spirit crystal, the little black pig grinned silly, then nodded desperately, as if he was afraid that Shen Shi would regret it.
Shen Shi laughed loudly, put it down in one hand, and said with a smile: "Deal!"
The little black pig was also excited when he looked at it, as if the pig had a goal to struggle in his life, he turned around without hesitation and ran forward, while sniffing from left to right, he started looking for grass for the spirit crystal.
It's just that it ran a few steps away, and suddenly it stopped again, and suddenly stopped, but Shen Shi was taken aback, and he said in amazement: "No, you found it again so soon...huh?"
Halfway through the conversation, he also found something wrong. The little black pig did not show any excitement this time. Instead, he shrank slightly, showing a somewhat vigilant appearance, while keeping his eyes fixed on the reeds in front of him. Somewhere in.
Shen Shi's face slowly cooled down, and he stared at that place. After a while, a low roar sounded behind the reeds, and a cold beast's eyes penetrated through the gaps in the dense reeds, staring at them. .
