Volume 1 Chapter 3 Primary Spirit Grass Identification Record Worry-Free

  "Whoosh, whoosh!" Two flashes of snow-bright knife light passed by, and instantly two thick stalks of green bamboo were cut off evenly, without any stagnation. Looking again at the cut ends of the bamboo, they were also extremely smooth, not even a single hair was left, enough to illustrate the sharpness of the knife light just now.

  "What a great sword! The Five-Line Stone is indeed extraordinary!" Feng Ruomei exclaimed with flying colors, the green bamboo in the back mountain seemed ordinary, but in fact it was extremely hard, otherwise, it wouldn't have chipped off so many notches from his previous long sword.

  But now, the green bamboo has become vulnerable to a single blow, which shows how great the effect of the Five Elements Stone is. And this is just one of the lowest grade Five Elements Stones, with such an obvious effect, if it were a higher grade Five Elements Stone, it would be imaginable.

  Taking a deep breath, Feng Ruo grasped the dagger with one hand and slowly infused the restored spiritual power from last night into the short knife. In just an instant, a faint humming noise suddenly sounded, and on the surface of the short knife, a half-foot-long red flame eerily appeared!

  This red flame seemed to have gained spirituality, roaring and responding, in an instant, with the body as the center, the temperature within a radius of five feet suddenly soared!

  "Drink!" Feng Ruo let out a low growl, and the flame short knife in his hand flashed like lightning, chopping towards a nearby dark green bamboo. This dark green bamboo was even harder than ordinary green bamboo, just like his previous long knife, not even leaving a knife mark, it was as if it were stone.

  "Hum!" With a whistling sound, the flame short knife easily cut off the deep-colored dark green bamboo with a thick mouth, but this was nothing. The flame on the short knife actually burned the two broken ends of the dark green bamboo into charcoal in an instant!

  This power is far from the simple sharpness of just now, and this is the flame attribute that the fire property wu xing stone itself brings, but it needs to be maintained by law.

  When the dark green bamboo fell to the ground, the flame on the short knife in Feng Ru's hand also disappeared, and his face showed a hint of fatigue. Although this additional flame attack was powerful, with his current magical powers, he could only use it twice, and after two times, he had no combat power left.

  After catching his breath, Feng Ruo carefully examined the aftermath of the battle. Although he had expected it, he was still shocked in his heart. The power of that previous blow was truly terrifying. This kind of attack could almost be said to be invincible in the mortal world. It seemed that even some low-level spiritual beasts could break through defenses!

  It's just a pity that he can only use it twice in a row. If there are more than one enemy, or if the opponent is slightly stronger, he basically has no chance of survival.

  "It seems that the amount of Fa Li is the most fundamental after all!" Fēng Ruò shook his head and sighed, originally he thought that as long as he used the Five Elements Stone to strengthen the Long Knife, he would have some confidence in hunting low-level spiritual beasts, but now it seems that more preparation is still needed, after all, one's life is only one, once something unexpected happens, it will be too late for regrets.

  Sheathing the Moon-Short Sword, Feng Ruo's expression returned to normal. In any case, there was no opportunity to go out and hunt low-level spiritual beasts for this season. The eighteen Snow Spiritual Silkworms required a terrifying amount of Spiritual Mulberry Leaves, just thinking about it made his head ache.

  Apart from that, he also had to go and collect Congealing Blood Grass, Sweet Dew Branches, and Thousand Mile Fragrance. These were three low-grade spiritual herbs that he had accepted as a task from a third-generation disciple of the Qingyun Sect who was skilled in alchemy. According to their agreement, as long as Feng Ruo collected 300 Congealing Blood Grass, or 200 Sweet Dew Branches, or 100 Thousand Mile Fragrance, he would be able to exchange them for a low-grade Five Elements Stone from that alchemist brother.

  Now Fang Ruo already had 209 Congxuecao in his hands, if the next few days went smoothly, he would be able to gather 300 Congxuecao and then wipe out one-fifth of the debt he owed.

  Feng Ruo's debt was five pieces of wu xing stone, because he had never recognized any spiritual grasses. So, some time ago, he bought two jade slips from a relatively easy-going alchemy brother. One was the "Primary Spiritual Grass Identification Record", which recorded the shapes, medicinal effects, and places of origin of 100 common spiritual grasses, along with three low-level pill formulas: Stopping Bleeding Powder, Activating Collaterals Powder, and Universal Spirit Powder.

  Another one is the Primary Spirit Beast Identification Record, which records the appearance, strength and living habits of 100 ordinary spirit beasts.

  The contents of these two jade slips can be said to be the simplest, those three generations of Qingyun Sect disciples are disdainful, but for Fengruo, they are precious, so it's better to bear the debt of five wu xing stones than not buy them.

  However, what Feng Yu was most concerned about was the three simple pill formulas in the "Primary Spirit Grass Identification Record". The reason he had been hesitant to go hunting for low-level spirit beasts, apart from not having a suitable weapon, was mainly because he wanted to master these three pill formulas first.

  Like the styptic powder, it can recover injuries that are not too severe in a short period of time, and its effect is beyond doubt.

  While Huo Luo San is now more important, as it can recover a certain amount of Fa Li in a short period of time. If Feng Ye had this Huo Luo San, he would be able to cast Flame Blade three times in a row, which would undoubtedly greatly enhance his strength.

  As for the Wan Ling San, it is also indispensable. This spiritual medicine can eliminate most ordinary toxins and also enhance the safety of Feng Ru during hunting.

  What made Feng Ruo feel suffocated was that, because he didn't dare to go too deep, until now, he had only found Congxuecao, and as for Ganluozhi and Qianli Xiang, these two more precious spiritual herbs, they had never been discovered.

  As the sun rises high in the east, Feng Wu can't afford to hesitate any longer. He immediately rushes towards his own mulberry garden, and at the same time, he keeps thinking in his heart that as he understands this cultivation world more deeply, he becomes increasingly unwilling to just be a miscellaneous servant. To say nothing of other things, just the fact that it can increase one's lifespan is an irresistible temptation!

  It's simply that for an ordinary person like him with no foundation and mediocre innate quality to truly become a cultivator, the difficulties he would encounter are absolutely unimaginable.

  In Feng Ru's plan, hunting low-level spiritual beasts to earn five-element stones was just one part of it. Raising the Snow Spiritual Silkworm himself was more important because that was his best way to get the Snow Silkworm set. However, he had to buy silkworm eggs first. According to what he had heard before, at least ten five-element stones were needed for a Snow Spiritual Silkworm egg.

  Although ten pieces of low-grade wuxing stone may be nothing to Kong, a three-generation disciple, they are no less than a mountain to Feng Ru.

  Another way of income is collecting spiritual grass, but it's still fraught with difficulties and yields too little gain.

  Feng Ruo first passed through his own Xiangling rice field, and after a quick inspection, he couldn't help but nod in approval. The Xiangling rice only needed to be planted, and then watered with some spiritual spring water every few days, making it relatively easy to care for. However, what made him somewhat regretful was that the Xiangling rice required at least a year to mature, which also meant he would have to endure the terrible taste of those awful rice cakes for a long time to come.

  Then Feng Ruo quickly fed the eighteen Snow Spirit Silkworms, and then walked along a small path. Soon, a huge canyon appeared in front of him, and on the other side of the canyon was a lush and steep mountain.

  This high mountain also belongs to the range of Qingyun Mountain, but it is not within the protection scope of Qingyun Sect. The residence of Qingyun Sect only occupies the main peak of Qingyun Mountain, and there are disciples patrolling around the main peak at every moment. Once a spiritual beast invades, they will be killed immediately, so it can be said that it is the safest place.

  However, the surrounding mountains are different, with all kinds of spiritual beasts inside. Even a three-generation disciple like Kong Fei must form a small team of several people to dare to venture deep in. Of course, someone like Feng Ru is even more hesitant to approach.
