Chapter 39 Green Bamboo Grass

"Is this the Qingyang Secret Realm?"

After a while, Lu Li suddenly came to an unfamiliar space. What he saw was a patch of withered and yellow weeds. These weeds were three feet high, and it was difficult to see the end at a glance. It was very desolate, and was somewhat different from the secret realm he imagined. .

There seemed to be a bluestone path under my feet, but it was deeply covered by the weeds dumped on both sides. The path was covered with moss and full of traces of time.

"Is it possible that someone has lived here?"

Lu Li looked forward thoughtfully. He took out a piece of yellow paper with the seal of the Foreign Affairs Hall from the kit he just received from Xiao Jue. On it was a line of scrawled words: Collect ten first-level elixirs. .

"Elixir?"

Seeing the withered yellowness in front of him, Lu Li was a little confused as to whether there would be any magic medicine in such a desolate place.

Putting the yellow paper recording the mission back into the kit, he took out a purple jade plaque, looked at it, and carefully put it into his breast pocket. This jade plaque was a life-saving thing, so he couldn't lose it.

Just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly heard several noises coming from around him. He turned his head and saw that it was Chu Qingfeng and his entourage who had come in.

A white figure walked towards him from a distance, patted the hay on his body, and Liu Xinyu called out warmly, "Brother Lu."

Lu Li nodded and asked curiously, "What is your mission?"

Hearing this, Liu Xinyu opened the kit and looked at it, then frowned slightly and said, "Kill an early level one spiritual beast and bring back the body."

Kill the spirit beast?

Lu Li felt incredible and a little curious at the same time.

Incredibly, this place is so desolate that it doesn't look like there are any living creatures at all.

What's curious is that at this age, he has seen wild wolves and hares, but he has never seen a spiritual beast.

"Junior Brother Lu."

Chu Qingfeng also came over and greeted him.

Lu Li also responded with a smile. After asking, he found out that Chu Qingfeng's mission was also to kill spiritual beasts, but he needed to kill two.

far away.

Luan Xinan, Xu Yucheng, Xie Zishi and Shi Yanze also gathered together, discussing something in low voices.

The remaining four people didn't seem to want to get too close to Lu Li and the others, and they didn't join Luan Xinan and the others. Instead, they formed a small group alone.

Seeing this, Lu Li thought for a while and said, "You and I have different missions. Why don't we go together? I will help you kill the monsters, and you will give me the elixir you find. This way, it will be easier to complete the mission."

"Actually, that's what I meant." Chu Qingfeng immediately agreed.

Liu Xinyu also had no objection and nodded in agreement.

As a result, the three of them formed a team. After a brief exchange, Lu Li led the two of them along the bluestone road.

The weeds on the roadside were so deep that even with the elixir, it was impossible to see with the naked eye. At first, Lu Li released his spiritual sense, but as time went by, he felt very tired and had to withdraw his spiritual sense.

I don’t know how long I’ve been gone.

The weeds on both sides began to get shorter, and even a hint of green emerged. Lu Li's face lit up and he greeted, "It seems that the vitality is getting stronger as we go deeper, let's go quickly."

As he spoke, he started running wildly.

When the others saw this, they thought Lu Li had discovered some treasure and chased after him.

About a quarter of an hour later, Lu Li stopped at the edge of a lush bamboo forest.

The dead grass here has completely subsided, and the bamboo forest in front of you is lush and green, which is completely different from the previous desolate scene.

Luan Xin'an and the other four also caught up with him panting, and then they realized that Lu Li had not discovered the elixir.

But seeing that the place was full of life, Luan Xin'an didn't bother to talk nonsense to Lu Li. He glanced at Liu Xinyu and waved his hand, saying "Let's go!" and then rushed into the bamboo forest impatiently.

Hearing this, Shi Yanze and the others quickly followed.

"Junior brother, let's go too?" Chu Qingfeng said, worried about being overtaken by a few people.

Lu Li nodded and followed slowly, but when he turned his eyes, he deliberately slowed down his pace. Since they like to take the lead, let them go in front.

This bamboo forest didn't look like a wilderness bamboo forest. There were many intricate bluestone paths in the middle. Lu Li felt more and more that this Qingyang secret realm was inhabited.

"Junior brother, why don't we go to the front?" Seeing Luan Xinan and the others getting further and further away from him, almost disappearing from his sight, Chu Qingfeng couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"It's okay. The task is not that easy to complete. Until the last moment, what you get may not be yours."

"What do you mean, junior brother?"

"It's not interesting. We just have to find our own. This bamboo sea is very big. There is no need to follow them." After Lu Li said this, he actually stopped chasing Luan Xinan and his party, and instead walked towards the path on the left side of the fork in the road.

Not long after walking, Lu Li suddenly looked at a clump of green bamboos growing together on the right. The bamboos in other places were separated by several feet, but in this clump, dozens of them grew together.

This suddenly reminded him of the record in the "Essential Medicine Treasure Book". There is a kind of elixir called Green Bamboo Grass, which likes to grow in such an environment.

More importantly, Green Bamboo Grass is one of the four elixirs used to refine the Acupuncture Pill. If you can obtain Green Bamboo Grass, you will undoubtedly be one step closer to refining the Acupuncture Pill.

With expectation, Lu Li walked over.

Chu Qingfeng and Liu Xinyu looked at each other, a little confused, because they didn't feel the slightest breath of the elixir at all.

However, Lu Li had already started searching in the bamboo bush. The bamboo bush was too dense to see the scene in the middle. Lu Li frowned and summoned a black axe from the Space Hall.

He took this axe from the utility building, just in case.

He swung the axe and knocked down a bamboo bush in two or three strokes. After chopping down seven or eight more bamboo bushes, Lu Li could finally see the scene in the middle, which was full of rotten bamboo leaves.

Lu Li paused for a moment and began to dig these rotten bamboo leaves out. The damp bamboo leaves were accompanied by a gloomy smell, but he didn't care at all.

Lu Li didn't stop until the rotten leaves outside had piled up three feet high. He excitedly rushed in and grabbed a half-foot-high seedling.

The seedling was green all over, and also had bamboo nodes. The leaves were the same as the bamboo outside, but there were more branches and a faint mist entwined on it.

"What is this? Spiritual medicine!" Chu Qingfeng came up with an incredible look on his face, "How did Junior Brother find it?"

Lu Li smiled, "This is called Green Bamboo Grass. It likes to grow in the center of this dark bamboo grove. The spiritual energy will be covered by the green bamboo next to it, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find its existence. In fact, I didn't find it either, I just tried my luck."

"So that's it." Chu Qingfeng suddenly realized, "Then let's go find such a bamboo grove?"

"Yes." Lu Li nodded and put away the Green Bamboo Grass, and then continued to move forward.

Successfully finding a Green Bamboo Grass made him feel very happy. This bamboo forest seemed endless, and there should be more. Since he was here, he couldn't miss this opportunity. Compared with other illusory things, refining the acupuncture pill is undoubtedly much more important.

In the distance, the other three men and one woman, four test disciples, just saw this scene. Someone's eyes flickered and said, "This kid is so lucky to find a spiritual medicine so quickly."

The woman chuckled and said, "Don't worry, there are only three of them. If it doesn't work at that time, we..."
