Chapter 282 Water and Fire Spirit Grass, Strange Fruit in the Cave (First Update)
Spiritual beasts like Fu Dou have also appeared in the world of cultivation. They look like dogs and eat fire, and their excrement turns into fire.
Mortals heard that its appearance would bring fire, so it was classified as a ferocious beast.
But cultivators know that this is the opposite of cause and effect. It just likes to swallow fire, so it follows the fire.
Li Qing glanced at the gray puppy: "Fu Dou? Isn't it black in the legend?"
Zhou Hanguang chuckled: "Maybe this one has faded?"
Hearing this, the puppy let out a somewhat angry "woof" and pointed its butt towards its owner.
Li Qing smiled and said: "It is rumored that Fu Dou is a third-level spiritual beast. If Brother Tao feeds it well, he might be able to rely on its majesty in the future."
Puppy Ears After moving, the reddish halo on his body became brighter.
Zhou Hanguang shook his head mockingly: "The growth of the third-order spirit beast is slow. Maybe I passed away and it hasn't grown up yet."
Jiang Minghe also said: "Isn't that what those beast-controlling families are like? One beast is passed down to three generations, and humans and beasts are still there..."
The puppy seemed to sense the master's depression, and was no longer angry, using his wet tongue. Gently licking Zhou Hanguang's wrist.
Li Qing didn't know how to respond to these words. He always felt that the two of them were too negative, even though they were quite calm before.
He had no choice but to change the subject: "The red fruit tree has been cured. I wonder if there are other harvests in this secret realm?"
Jiang Minghe put his mind back together: "We are just in time to finish our business. As a landlord, I would like to show you a Taoist friend.”
So the three of them went on a walking tour.
This secret realm is not large, about the size of a village.
To the east of Shitan is a cliff with red fruit trees, and beyond that is the boundary of the secret realm.
To the west of Shitan, there is a stretch of hills, which are not steep. There are no tall trees on them, only stretches of meadows and scattered low shrubs.
"Hey! This is actually the Qing Ling Cao?" Li Qing squatted down in surprise and looked at the Qing Ling Cao that could be seen everywhere.
Its shape is the same as the Qingling grass belonging to the water element, but its color is light red, with a hint of fire aura.
Zhou Hanguang hugged Fu Dou and said softly: "I showed it to the spiritual plant masters and alchemists in the fairy city. They said that the Qingling grass had been infected by the fire spirit for a long time and mutated."
< br>"However, Qingling grass is of low quality and has no special features after mutation, so its uses are limited."
Li Qing is very fond of this grass: "I want to pick some and cultivate it. , I wonder if that’s okay?”
Jiang Minghe said with a smile: “Fellow Taoist, please feel free to do so. These things are everywhere, and they are not even worth a few spirit stones.”
Li Qing thanked him, dug out some with a medicine hoe, and packed it properly in a jade box.
This mutated Qingling grass may be useless to others.
But for Li Qing, who established the Tao based on the three elements of water, wood and fire, and understood the principle of the harmony of water and fire, it was a rare treasure.
After collecting the fire spiritual grass, Zhou and Jiang took him to visit the other spiritual plants in the secret realm.
They are all of the first and second levels, the highest is only the lower level of the second level, and their efficacy is not outstanding, so they are not very popular in Li Qing's eyes.
Until the last hill, Jiang Minghe brushed aside a patch of vines, revealing a cave: "Fellow Taoist, please come in, there are treasures here."
The cave is a little dark, but for cultivators , no hindrance.
Li Qing followed the two people inside, and after walking dozens of steps, his eyes suddenly lit up.
I saw dark green vines growing on the rock wall of the cave, and bright red fruits were growing on the vines.
Jiang Minghe picked one and handed it to Li Qing: "Look here, my fellow Taoist, this kind of spiritual fruit has never been seen in my world."
"Taking it can strengthen the Taoist body and increase the true energy of the fire attribute. We tasted it many times and finally settled on the second-level top grade."
"Oh?" Li Qing raised his eyebrows and took it. Looking at the fruit, I found that its tentacles were slightly hard, and when pinched lightly, it still rebounded a little.
He didn't shy away from it either. He first practiced medicine identification and confirmed that it had no toxic or side effects, then washed it with nectar and threw it into his mouth. "Crack..." With a little force from his teeth, the fruit broke open like a hard candy, and the slightly hot sandwich pulp flowed out.
The crispy and hard shell is a bit sweet, but the pulp inside has a spicy taste.
Li Qing accidentally choked, and when he sneezed, sparks came out of his mouth: "Ah!"
"Hahaha..." Zhou Hanguang and Jiang Minghe laughed together.
Fu Dou also found it interesting. He opened his small mouth and spit out a stream of flames, obviously imitating it.
Zhou Hanguang knocked it on the head and fed it one.
"Woof!" Instead of feeling uncomfortable, the puppy found it amusing and started spitting out flames as if having fun.
Li Qing took a deep breath and swallowed the pulp together with the chewed shell.
Suddenly, a burning breath rose up in his stomach, and then spread throughout his body.
After Li Qing established the foundation, the Tao body was pure and free of dirt.
The fruit did not refine any impurities, it only pushed him a little closer to the second level of body refining.
On the contrary, the power of the fire element in it, after being integrated into Li Qingzhenyuan and merged with the Nirvana, actually flashed the shadow of a deer-shaped spiritual beast.
But before the phantom took shape, it was swallowed by Bi Fang, who was transformed into nirvana.
"The two Taoist brothers didn't even warn me beforehand. It's not very kind to see me embarrassed!" Li Qing, who had recovered his breath, glared at the two of them.
Jiang Minghe laughed: "Just a little joke. When we first tasted this fruit, we also fell into it."
Zhou Hanguang asked with concern: "How is it? Is this fruit still effective?"
Li Qing nodded: "If eaten in large quantities, it will help the transformation of spiritual fire, so it is appropriate to be classified as a second-level top grade."
Zhou Hanguang flicked his sleeves, and Zhenyuan rolled a third of the fruit from the vines on the rock wall, put it in a jade box and handed it to Li Qing.
"Since this fruit is beneficial to fellow Taoists, these can be considered as our apology just now."
Li Qing was stunned and quickly refused: "How can this be done! It is too precious. ”
Jiang Minghe pulled Li Qing and pressed the jade box directly into his hand: "Just accept it. This fruit can still be produced in the future, but it's not gone."
Fu Dou also followed " "Wang Wu" several times, as if urging him to accept it.
Li Qing couldn't resist his kindness, so he had no choice but to accept the fruit, but felt sorry for it. In front of the two of them, he brushed the fruit vine with the magical power of green wood and the gentle rain of the wind.
Zhou and Jiang were amazed.
“My Taoist friend’s spiritual planting technique is truly amazing!” Jiang Minghe said with emotion.
“If I had known this, I should have worked harder and maybe I could have convinced Master to give you a genuine Foundation Building Pill.”
Li Qing did not answer the question. He just asked casually: "How are you, Senior Lin?"
The atmosphere in the cave suddenly became quiet.
After a short while, Zhou Hanguang said softly: "My master tried to attack Dan Dan in the past few years, but after the failure, he became an immortal and passed away..."
Li Qing couldn't help being shocked: " Sorry, I really don’t know.”
Jiang Minghe shook his head: “I, Tanyuan Immortal City, restricted the news. It’s normal for fellow Taoists to not know.”
Xiu Xian asked. Smooth sailing. Some people stop moving forward, while others rise to the challenge.
The master chose to overcome the tribulation and form the elixir. Although he did not regret it, as his disciples, they could only be happy for his old man.
