The Monk

Chapter 563 Herbal Medicine

Zhang Ain asked curiously: "What is immortality?"

"There are some monsters, they are so powerful that they have no edge or edge. I was beaten once and they slapped me away. I never felt uncomfortable again." Zuo Shi said sadly.

"The monster is so powerful?" Zhang Ping remembered the big tiger in the God Refining Valley. That guy was quite powerful.

"Not only are they powerful, but they also have geographical advantages. When cultivators enter the forest of monsters, their cultivation is limited and they cannot exert their full strength. Monsters are just the opposite. I guess only the Mountain God can deal with them."

"What does Lord Mountain God look like?" Zhang was curious again.

"You'll know when you see him. There is only one mountain god, and no one can pretend to be him." The left servant's expression was serious, and he was in awe of the mountain god.

"So powerful? You can't do it either?" Zhang Awei secretly estimated who was more powerful, the big tiger or the mountain god.

"Nonsense, if I'm good at it, I'll be a mountain god." Zuo Shi stopped discussing the mountain god and said to Zhang Awei: "I've collected the God Pill. Give me three ten thousand-year-old herbs, preferably ginseng, ganoderma and polygonum multiflorum."

Zhang was afraid that he was not worried enough, so he took out six plants and asked: "Can there be the remaining thirteen herbs in the Valley of Refining Gods?"

"There should be. This time I led the team into the valley. I had to collect all the herbs. Master Jing also went. He told me about King Wu. Don't worry. It's not a big deal. If I didn't worry about the people in the mountain, I would Kill that kid long ago. You did a good job, destroying the body without any trace, so that King He can't find anything." Zuo Shi said.

Zhang Pinghao asked in a loud voice: "Master Jing is not at the Mountain God Platform?"

"He went to find the remaining thirteen herbs. There is probably no chance of him returning in the next few days. It seems that he can only count on this trip to the God Refining Valley and hope that he will gain something." Zuo Shi did not hold out much hope.

Zhang Ping didn't know what to expect, but he had friends in the valley and said, "Tell me the recipe for the God's Pill and see if I can find it."

Zuo Shi nodded and quickly took out a jade slip: "You make a copy." Zhang Ping followed his words and returned the first jade slip to Zuo Shi, and put his soul into the piece he copied to read the contents.

Now he sees that the jade slips are much simpler than when he first established the foundation. He only needs to send the soul into the jade slips, unlike when he first established the foundations where he had to put the jade slips on his forehead to read. After reading through it briefly, there are eighteen kinds of elixirs recorded in it, each of which requires Ten Thousand Years of Spiritual Grass as an introduction. It brings together a variety of herbs to make elixirs. There are as few as nine and as many as eighty-one, all of which are perfect. Consecutive numbers, such as nine, eighteen, thirty-six, seventy-two, etc.

Cultivation pays attention to counting by nine, which fully captures the meaning of the perfect path of self-cultivation.

Zhang Ping was stunned after seeing the jade slip. He found that he had all the herbs listed above, and they were all more than ten thousand years old. You must know that it is not one, two, three, or four kinds, but all the herbs in the elixir. At the same time, it should be noted that the herbs recorded in the elixir are not common products such as schisandra chinensis and wolfberry, but are extremely precious and extremely rare spiritual herbs.

Everyone knows that ginseng and Ganoderma are precious because these things are common but not common, and they are very expensive items that people often see.

But in terms of preciousness, it is far less valuable than other types of herbs, such as snow lotus, stone gallbladder, shekou flower, sea flower, etc. Each of them is precious and rare and grows in a specific environment. Only this type of herb is suitable. It deserves the title of spiritual grass. It is this type of spiritual grass that is needed in the elixir recipe.

As I slowly read on, I couldn't help but admire the god who created the Five Spirits Blessed Land and Nitian Cave. How powerful must he be to collect all these precious herbs and keep them alive? At least he should have the strength of a mountain god, right?

Not all herbs are available in Nitian Cave. Zhang Ping once brought back some uncommon herbs, and this time he came to Shanshentai to buy a few rare herbs. However, the rarity and uncommonness of these herbs are only relative terms. Not to mention compared with precious spiritual grass, even ordinary wild ginseng cannot compare. It really doesn't have much value. In terms of its alchemy effect alone, it is of little use.

Of course, if the age is old enough, it will be very precious, but the problem is that if there are precious herbs of the same age for comparison, how precious can such herbs be? From this point of view, the missing herbs in Nitian Cave were not that the god could not find them, but that he did not want to find them. Gods understand the properties of herbs. It is useless to find such herbs. They take up empty space. It is better to grow more rare spiritual herbs.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fei wanted to throw away some of the herbs he bought a few years ago. Alas, he originally thought of patching up the leaks in Nitian Cave, but he didn't expect that all he would patch up were garbage. It was so embarrassing.

In fact, Zhang Ai cannot be blamed for this embarrassing issue. He had learned a lot in his life and never had the chance to learn how to make alchemy. All he knew was taught by Lin Sen. Lin Sen was a grass spirit and didn't know much about alchemy. He just relied on some jade slips left by the god to figure it out on his own, and had enough time and herbs for him to waste, so he was able to achieve success. However, there are not many types of elixirs that can be refined. They are just ordinary elixirs such as advanced elixirs and spiritual energy elixirs.

Zhang Ping doesn't care about this. According to his theory of value only when it is useful, Shekou flower is not even as valuable as Sandgengcao. Sandgengcao can at least brew a delicious wine like Sanweigan, which he likes to drink. But although shekou flowers and other spiritual herbs are known to be precious, they don't know how to use them. The Shekou flower grows in a poisonous place, and the juice from its roots, stems and leaves is highly poisonous. Lin Sen is unwilling to even touch it, so naturally he will not use it to make elixirs. Since Lin Sen didn't use such herbs, Zhang was afraid that he wouldn't be able to find out their usefulness.

Only now, after reading the elixir recipe, do I realize why these precious spiritual herbs are precious, because they can refine rare elixirs.

After a rough calculation, he found that he had the forty-nine kinds of spiritual herbs needed for the Heavenly God Pill, and they were all over ten thousand years old. I wanted to take it out to Zuo Shi, but I heard Zuo Shi say: "Are there many herbs that I haven't even heard of their names? This time, I will join the four great sages to break into the God Refining Valley, hoping to find all the herbs."

One word reminded Zhang Afraid, which made him cautious. He did not take out the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Herb, but nodded and said: "I can ask Hu Ping for help."

Zuo Shi had seen Hu Ping and knew that it was a monster in human form in the Valley of Refining Gods. He said: "The Valley of Fog is only open for ten days, and it takes six days to get in and out. With its help, we can definitely find all the herbs within four days."

Zhang En was silent for a moment, not because he wanted to play tricks on Zuo Shi, but because the Heaven-defying Cave was too terrifying. He took out three or six ginseng or Ganoderma lucidum and it was easy to explain. It was just good luck that he found the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Grass in a treasure place somewhere. In any case, the requirements for the growth environment of ginseng and Ganoderma are not strict, and they will survive in most places with mountains and trees. However, elixirs such as Snow Lotus, Snakemouth Grass, Undersea Weed, etc. are different. One needs to grow on the snowy mountains, one needs to grow in the land of all poisons, and one needs to grow on the seabed. If he takes out thirteen rare herbs at once, and the growth environment is different. , will definitely arouse Zuo Shi's strong suspicion, how come you have so many kinds of ten thousand-year-old herbs?
