Chapter 345: Taking the Spirit dicine
Gu Zuo reckoned that a dozen or so minutes had passed. This flagstone road also finally reached the end. However, when he took another step forward, he felt his entire body lightening. He almost staggered and fell over.
Gongyi Tianheng had swift eyes and fast hands, and promptly caught him.
But it was also at this mont that the two of them abruptly vanished.
As for Qi Xuanao, he had likewise disappeared.
After Gu Zuo regained his footing, he unexpectedly discovered that Qi Xuanao was nowhere to be found.
Fortunately, because he had fallen just now, his big brother had caught him. This prevented them from separating.
Imdiately following which, Gu Zuo looked around.
This place…seed like the legendary Peach Blossom Spring in the outside world.
Gu Zuo blinked his shining eyes.
He slled dicinal fragrances! It was the ever-present, rich, and spiritual scent of dicinal ingredients! Moreover, as these scents mingled together, it brought about an inexhaustible, alluring power!
If he didn’t guess incorrectly, there was certainly a dicine garden in the vicinity! The scents were so potent that there were definitely many spirit dicines in this dicine garden!
Tianheng saw the joy spreading across Gu Zuo’s face in the blink of an eye, and couldn’t help lightly patting his head: “Ah Zuo? Ah Zuo?”
Gu Zuo composed himself, and excitedly said: “Big brother, this place has a dicine garden! Ah, a dicine garden! I can harvest dicinal herbs, lots of them!”
At Gu Zuo’s happiness, Tianheng’s smiling expression softened sowhat. However, Tianheng gently squeezed Gu Zuo’s upper arm so that he didn’t get ahead of himself: “Ah Zuo, don’t be hasty.”
Once he heard Tianheng’s calm words, Gu Zuo blinked his eyes and his excitent cooled down a bit: “I won’t.”
Tianheng laughed in spite of himself: “This place is an unfamiliar land. Although it lingers with dicinal fragrances, it’s not necessarily safe. It would be for the best that we don’t run around without watching where we step.”
Gu Zuo settled down, feeling that he ought to cultivate a bit more tranquility in himself.
After that, he spoke with an unflustered appearance: “Big brother, what are we going to do now?”
Tianheng smiled and said: “First, let’s take a look around over there. Ah Zuo, release your psychic power so we can avoid running into any dangers that we can’t defend against in ti.”
Gu Zuo complied. He rapidly weaved his psychic power into a net, and spread it out in all directions. Since he was already at the Core Psyche Realm, it was effortless for him to extend the net fifty ters out.
Then, it was like they had suddenly returned to the past. Gu Zuo was pulling Tianheng’s sleeve. As he took the lead, he remained vigilant of their surroundings. Although his mind was stretched taut, his mood was comfortable and cheery.
—?Right now, anything he could do together with his big brother would make him happy.
Back to the matters at hand. It seed that Gu Zuo and Tianheng were being overly cautious. During this stroll, they saw flourishing flowers and jade-green grass, but didn’t encounter any dangers.
In fact, not to ntion that this place didn’t have any aggressive, ferocious beasts, there wasn’t even a single insect.
According to reason, this kind of environnt should’ve been very dangerous, but from the bottom of Gu Zuo’s heart, he felt that this place was auspicious and peaceful. The lack of any animals didn’t an that there were hidden undercurrents. Rather, it genuinely allowed people to feel tranquil and even-tempered, and expelled any of those kinds of animals.
Gu Zuo was a bit doubtful, and shared his own perceptions with Tianheng: “Big brother, do you think we’re inside an illusion or sothing?”
Tianheng closed his eyes and contemplated for a short while. He faintly shook his head: “This elder brother also only feels that this place is auspicious and peaceful. There’s nothing unusual going on. If this is really an illusion, it’s too realistic… However, we still have to proceed with caution.”
Gu Zuo solemnly nodded his head: “Big brother, rest assured. I understand.”
Hence, the two continued their journey.
Not long after, they ca upon a wide clearing. A spirit field suddenly appeared in front of them!
Gu Zuo’s breathing beca sluggish: “That, that, that—”
Tianheng stopped. He was sowhat astonished as well.
It wasn’t strange that the two were acting this way. It was only because that spirit field was over a hundred ters wide. It was likewise divided into over a hundred plots of dicine gardens. Inside each dicine garden, the dicinal fragrances revolved all around and the spiritual qi pressed out!
This was a dicine field!
Moreover, the majority of the plants were spirit dicines…
Gu Zuo rubbed his face.
He cald down for a minute, but his heart was still beating quickly.
Tianheng saw Gu Zuo behaving like this, and smiled gently. After that, he sized up their surroundings, and observed whether there were any unknown dangers… However, he still concluded that there were none.
Could it be that such a large dicine field would allow anyone to pluck its dicinal herbs?
Although his heart still remained sowhat vigilant, he wouldn’t ignore the benefits in front of them due to these precautions. Tianheng pulled Gu Zuo’s forearm, and swiftly led him to the side of the dicine field.
Up ahead, growing on the first piece of the dicine field were three stalks of lotus flowers emitting a faintly cold qi. All of them were taking in and sending out snowy motes of light, displaying a wonderful and elegant beauty —?These lotus flowers ought to have been growing inside a special body of water, but right now, they had taken root in the soil here. It was truly baffling.
At this ti, Gu Zuo reacted and ca over. After a bit of hesitation, he used his psychic power to investigate. From beginning to end, he never discovered any problems. He reached out a hand to pluck a lotus flower… Eh?
Tianheng paused.
Sure enough, it wouldn’t be this easy.
Just when Gu Zuo’s fingers were about to touch that lotus flower, they were suddenly blocked by an invisible barrier. This barrier didn’t hurt Gu Zuo or anything like that. It only obstructed him. However, he also couldn’t break through the barrier forcefully. Otherwise, a mont of carelessness would damage the lotus flowers. That would be a great travesty.
Gu Zuo was a little disappointed: “It’ll let look, but not take…”
Tianheng’s heart faintly stirred. Suddenly, he asked in a soft voice: “Ah Zuo, I don’t recognize this thing. What kind of dicinal herb is it?”
Gu Zuo pulled himself together, and attentively answered his big brother’s question: “This isn’t an ordinary dicinal herb. It’s a spirit dicine. In general, after the lifespan of a dicinal herb with the corresponding product grade exceeds ten thousand years, it’ll likely develop spirituality and beco a spirit dicine. Only, the higher the grade of the herb, the harder it’ll be to transform. Such as this Ice Lotus Flower. En, when it hasn’t beco a spirit dicine, it’s called the Ice Lotus Flower. Once it becos a spirit dicine, its na is replaced, and it’s called the Twelve Turns Ice Heart Lotus. Big brother, notice how it has thirty-six petals? An ordinary Twelve Turns Ice Heart Lotus has twenty-four petals, and will grow twelve more petals after a hundred thousand years have passed. Since this lotus has thirty-six petals, it’s at least 110,000 years old.”
Tianheng softly asked: “Then, what are the dicinal effects of this Twelve Turns Ice Heart Lotus?”
Gu Zuo thought about it: “It can be refined into many types of dicinal pills. It’s particularly suitable for refining golden-level and profound-level pills. Among them, there’s a type of Obstruction Breaking Pill. Generally, one uses an Ice Lotus Flower to refine it. If it’s switched to the Twelve Turns Ice Heart Lotus, it can increase the pill’s assistive capabilities of breaking through realms without causing a qi deviation. The effects are very good.”
While listening to Gu Zuo talk, Tianheng split half of his attention onto that dicine garden. Because his examination was extrely sensitive, he abruptly detected sothing. The more Gu Zuo lectured, the faster that area’s qi streams were circulating.
After that, Tianheng revealed a aningful smile: “Ah Zuo, touch it again. Let’s give it another try.”
Gu Zuo stared blankly, but he always trusted his family’s big brother. Hence, he extended his hand once more, and slowly went to touch…
It worked?
This ti around, he actually touched the lotus flower’s petals without a problem!
In a split second, he turned his head: “Big brother, what’s going on?”
Tianheng faintly smiled: “Since this place is without any danger, and the cave abode’s attitude towards pharmacists is rather good, it may be assud that the cave abode’s owner wouldn’t take offense to sharing the stored treasures with pharmacists. However, if an ordinary pharmacist obtained a treasure, it would inevitably be wasted. Before allowing anyone to take a treasure, testing them will be essential.”
Gu Zuo understood in a flash.
So the reason why his big brother asked him what this spirit dicine was called and its effects was to let him take this test? And once he talked about these details, the cave abode realized that he knew how to utilize this spirit dicine. Thus, it was willing to give the spirit dicine to him?
If it was like this, then it would make sense!
Gu Zuo restrained the excitent in his heart, and carefully plucked and put away the three stalks of mature Twelve Turns Ice Heart Lotuses in this field. He left the remaining young stalks to continue growing. Imdiately following that, he impatiently dashed to another dicine garden in the dicine field, and reached out a hand to experint —?Oh! Sure enough, he couldn’t pluck anything! However, after he speedily recited everything he knew about concerning this type of spirit dicine, the dicine garden really opened up once again!
