Mortal Cultivator

Wang Lu walked towards the Qingfeng Forest and finally reached the edge of the forest when the sun was high in the sky.

The spiritual energy that came to his face made Wang Lu determine where he was.

The spiritual energy was extremely thin. I am afraid that he would not make any progress even if he practiced here for more than ten years, but at least it made Wang Lu know that this place was out of the secular world.

There was a clear dividing line between the edge of the forest and the periphery. The forest here was still green and full of vitality.

Wang Lu walked into the forest carefully, looking around, fearing that he would be attacked by some monsters. Seeing that the surroundings were relatively quiet, he gradually put his mind at ease.

Wang Lu searched carefully all the way. He was searching for the seedlings of spiritual medicine. After the monsters swallowed the spiritual medicine, they would excrete the seeds of the spiritual medicine.

It was not that they could not digest it, but that they also understood the principle of endless life and would actively excrete the seeds. Moreover, the feces they excreted could also provide some nutrients for the spiritual medicine.

…

“Found it!”

Wang Lu looked at a young seedling on the ground and was somewhat delighted. It was recorded in Li Wei’s diary that this thing was the main ingredient of the first-grade Qi-cultivating pill taken by Qi-refining cultivators [Qi-gathering grass], which takes ten years to become a medicine.

But this little sprout may not even last for a month, but Wang Lu didn’t care. He just wanted to try his guess.

He gently dug up the grass, and the grass was shoveled up with the soil, but it still became wilted in an instant.

“As the record says, the sprouted seedlings cannot be transplanted.”

Despite this, Wang Lu still put it into the space. He also entered the space. There was only a black bead left in the original place. The black bead suddenly moved and flew into a small tree hole.

After Wang Lu controlled the black bead to enter the tree hole, he planted the sprouts of the Qi-gathering grass. The originally wilted seedlings suddenly became full of vitality, like a new life, and seemed to be better than outside.

Seeing this, Wang Lu breathed a sigh of relief. It was so delicate that only his Black Pearl Space could transplant it. He didn't expect that his guess was true. This black soil was indeed not simple.

After planting, Wang Lu exited the space and his body appeared outside the tree hole.

Picked up a dead tree, broke it into two pieces, and a small flame appeared on his finger to ignite the two sections at the same time. He threw one of the sections into the space. After a long time, Wang Lu found that the branches of the two sections inside and outside were almost the same and burned out at the same time.

"The time is the same." Wang Lu stopped studying and stepped on the steps to continue looking for spiritual objects.

"Spiritual Beard Fruit" Wang Lu put away a small sapling, which was also a sapling less than a month old.

According to the diary, this kind of thing is extremely common. It can grow into a tree in one year and bear fruit in the second year. It bears fruit once a year, and each time it bears one to two fruits. It is a kind of berry that can be swallowed directly, and it is also an auxiliary medicine for the Qi-cultivating Pill.

Along the way, 11 seedlings, 8 spiritual beard fruits, and 3 Qi-gathering grass were searched. Just when Wang Lu was searching vigorously.

"Roar!"

"Awooo...!"

A tiger roar came, frightening Wang Lu to stop and run out of the forest.

"I thought it was safe outside, but I didn't expect there were monsters."

Wang Lu really didn't expect there were monsters wandering around outside. His spiritual power was running, and he ran very fast, but from the sound of breaking wind behind him, he was probably far slower than the speed of the monsters. Wang Lu didn't dare to look back.

"Crack! Crack...!"

There was a sound of whistling and trampling on dead branches behind him.

It was so close that the spiritual sense could see it. It was a red-striped tiger, with black and red stripes all over its body, and its aura was much stronger than his.

Don't dare to hesitate.

Wang Lu's mind raced, and he hid behind a big tree when he passed by it. Then Wang Lu disappeared directly on the spot and controlled the bead to drill into the hole at the root of the tree.

…

“Roar! Crack!”

The tiger roared and slapped the tree where Wang Lu disappeared, scraping off several inches of bark. However, Wang Lu was not seen after rushing past the tree.

The red-striped tiger sniffed around but still could not find Wang Lu. It paced back and forth in confusion, sniffing non-stop, but it was obviously not very smart.

After a while, it ran deep into the forest. Wang Lu’s consciousness passed through the black bead and saw the tiger leave. It took a long time for it to leave the space, and he was still frightened.

He looked around and hurried out of the forest after seeing that it was safe. The monster beast was not something he could fight against at the first level of Qi Refining. Li Wei’s diary recorded that the monster beast was much stronger than ordinary wild beasts.

…

[Monster Beast]

The monster beast has a strong physique and can eat spiritual medicine raw. It can cross levels to fight against cultivators. In the Qi Refining stage, it suppresses cultivators. Only when it enters the Foundation Establishment stage and flies with a sword can it have the ability to pull with the monster beast.

Recalling the records in the diary, the tiger just now should be a [Fire Pattern Tiger], but he didn't know what level of monster it was. He couldn't see through its cultivation at all. Its cultivation was much higher than that of a small follower like him.

Walking out of Qingfeng Forest with lingering fear, Wang Lu casually found a stone cave to live in. He didn't enter the black bead space because he was afraid that there would be any breath leaking.

Taking out the black bear's body, cutting a piece and roasting it, Wang Lu took out the diary and looked through it.

[Qingling Market]

"Let's go here after a while."

Wang Lu looked at a place marked on the map, Qingling Market, which can be reached by going 60 miles to the right along the edge of the forest. It is a gathering place for cultivators.

After looking through the map and thinking about it, he decided not to go to Qingling Market first. He also wanted to see if the black bead space had other special effects for cultivating spiritual herbs.

This accident made Wang Lu a little scared. If there was no black bead, he would have died. He thought he could be careful, but now he knows that some things can't be done by being careful.

This made him feel that he had lived so long in vain in his previous life, but how could he have encountered these things in his previous life? He stopped thinking about it and started to eat the barbecue.

…

Time passed.

Two months passed.

In these two months, Wang Lu hunted in the Beast Ridge and did not step into the forest again. The monsters seemed unwilling to step into this mundane jungle without spiritual energy.

"Sizzle--!"

Wang Lu picked up the roasted pheasant and bit it. His mouth was full of oil. After eating and drinking, he extinguished the fire.

"Swish!" Wang Lu disappeared on the spot.

Looking at the medicinal materials in the space, they grew well in an environment without spiritual energy. Among them, the Lingxu fruit had fully matured and borne fruit. Looking at the black soil on the ground, Wang Lu could not hide the joy on his face. This thing really had the effect of promoting the birth of spiritual medicine.

Reaching out and picking a fruit, the berry was the size of a thumb and showed a light red color. He put it in his mouth and bit it gently. A fishy and spicy feeling came, but Wang Lu didn't care and tasted it carefully.

A stream of heat flowed into the Dantian, feeling the spiritual power in the berries, which were very thin, but had the effect of making the body hot. He opened his mouth and spit out two seeds on the ground.

"It is indeed a good auxiliary medicine."

Looking at the record in the diary that only one or two Lingxu fruits were produced, but now there are 13, Wang Lu judged that a tree could originally produce many fruits, but because the spiritual energy was thin, it only produced one.

Thinking of this, Wang Lu picked up a handful of black soil from the ground and put it into his mouth to taste it carefully.

"Puh."

Wang Lu spit out the black soil, which had no spiritual energy and tasted nothing.

He was very happy to see the 8 Lingxu fruits in the space, each of which had 13 fruits hanging on it, and then slowly walked towards the growth area of ​​other medicinal herbs. In addition to the mature Lingxu fruits, other herbs were still growing.

Wang Lu picked all 103 Lingxu fruits and put them all into the storage bag obtained from Li Wei. Then Wang Lu withdrew from the space with the storage bag.

Since the space has the effect of cultivating medicinal herbs, he doesn't need to take risks here anymore. He plans to go directly to the market. Having made up his mind, he doesn't hesitate and goes straight out of the cave.

It was still early outside, and the red sun had just risen. Wang Lu walked to the right along the forest, and the road was bumpy.

... The next day
