Chapter Fourteen: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada

As a former alchemy disciple, Geng Ma is not only good at communication, but also knows much more about medicinal materials than Lin Bujia and the other two.

Along the way, he did some science on the medicinal materials he was going to collect to relieve his boredom.

"This Red Cloud Bamboo Heart is the middle section of the Red Cloud Bamboo. Only the best quality Red Cloud Bamboo can be produced. It is a relatively rare medicinal material that is used in many foundation-building elixirs."

"The red cloud bamboo grows deep in the Ganhua Mountains. It is named because the bamboo leaves are red and look like a red cloud from a distance."

Sun Jiamu was very considerate to Geng Ma: "So, you can't tell whether there is a bamboo heart from the outside? So how can you tell if there is a bamboo heart inside the bamboo?"

Geng Ma chuckled and explained: "It's simple, just look at the ground around the bamboo. If there is a bamboo heart, the roots of this bamboo will be extra strong, and will exude crystal clear and viscous juice. The thicker the quality.

The better.”

"Junior brother Geng is really knowledgeable. I heard that your father is the elder in charge of the alchemy room. I must have been influenced by it since childhood."

"Where, where..."

The two men had a lively chat.

Lin Bujia didn't move forward without knowing it, but just followed behind, looking around curiously and secretly comparing the position on the map given by Ming Xuechuan.

It wasn't his first time coming to the Ganhua Mountains, but it was his first time going so deep.

There were many exotic flowers and plants growing around him that he had never seen before.

Dazzled, listening to Geng Ma's talk, Lin Bujia suddenly felt that maybe he should learn more about elixirs, otherwise he would not know anything and would appear extremely ignorant.

Unfortunately, learning talismans and formations at the same time is already the limit of his energy.

Because the other two were already veterans of missions, the journey went surprisingly smoothly.

Sun Jiamu, in particular, has an extremely cautious character. Not only is he the strongest among the three, but he also has an endless supply of props to repel insects and beasts, taking every situation into consideration.

Even if Lin Bujia was ridiculed by him for no reason before, he still had to admit that the other party did have the qualifications to say that he was here to contribute...

Because he felt like he was really rubbing off.

Three days later.

The three finally reached the depths of the Ganhua Mountains.

"This is Red Cloud Bamboo!"

Geng Ma's eyes lit up, he pushed aside the branches in front of him and took two steps forward.

Lin Bujia looked in the direction and saw a cloud-like red bamboo.

Sun Jiamu smiled: "This mission was really successful."

"Thanks to Senior Brother Sun for being cautious!"

Geng Ma walked to the edge of the bamboo forest and began to identify which one had the red cloud bamboo heart.

Lin Bujia also followed and roughly judged the location. After completing the task, he found an excuse to leave the team and let the two of them go first.

"etc."

Ming Xuechuan suddenly spoke, with some uncontrollable fluctuations in his tone.

"Miss Ming, what's wrong?"

"Pick the white orchid under the bamboo on your left."

Lin Bujia was stunned and looked to the left.

Under the bamboo, there is indeed an orchid, but it is different from ordinary orchids. There is a shining ice blue pattern on the petals.

He was puzzled: "Isn't that Bing Xinlan? It's a very common spiritual grass."

This thing is very common, so even Lin Bujia knows it.

Although Bingxinlan is also a spiritual grass and relatively rare, it has only one value, and that is to determine the condition of the earth's veins.

If Bingxinlan appears, it means that there is Yin Qi condensation in the nearby ground veins, and there may be a cold pool.

Ming Xuechuan was silent for a while and said:

"...In your eyes, of course this thing is ordinary, because it is not extinct at this time."

"Extinction?!"

"That's right."

Ming Xuechuan let out a long breath and said: "According to ancient records, due to changes in the Zhongtian earth veins, this Ice Heart Orchid was on the verge of extinction three thousand years later."

"And in the era I live in, Bing Xinlan has long been a rare and rare medicinal material."

Lin Bujia blinked: "Medicine? It can also be used to make elixirs?"

Ming Xuechuan said: "Not only can it be refined, it is also one of the two main ingredients of the Qianyuan Bone Changing Pill!"

Ming Xuechuan explained to Lin Bujia what Qianyuan Bone Changing Pill was.

This pill is one of the methods she mentioned before that can be used to make up for the innate nature through the use of foreign objects.

This elixir has only one effect, which is to reshape one's body and reshape one's body!

If the quality of the elixir is high enough, it can even create a so-called leak-free body!

And people like Lin Bujiu, who were born with scattered spiritual roots and weak meridians, can also use this to regain their lives.

The Five Spirit Root Enlightenment person that Ming Xuechuan knew also used a similar method to successfully break through the upper limit of his original physique.

Lin Bujia never expected that in his opinion, such an ordinary spiritual grass was not worth as much as the purple pearl grass.

It will actually be a rare thing six thousand years from now!

It turns out that time can really turn decay into magic...

Ming Xuechuan stretched out his hand and brushed the orchid that appeared in his consciousness, and said: "It's just that even the inventor of the Qianyuan Bone-Replacing Pill had to wait until four thousand years before he was born."

Lin Bujiu quickly squatted down and carefully dug out the Bingxinlan plant with a shovel.

"..."

Ming Xuechuan looked at the picture in front of him. Lin Bujiu's hand was stained with mud and even a little rusty tattered shovel.

I thought of how when I attended a banquet in the past, the old man known as the "True Immortal of Medicine King" proudly displayed a Bing Xin Orchid placed in a fine gold gilded rainbow box to everyone.

The old man cherished the Bing Xin Orchid so much that he even used a cold jade spoon to take it out.

In comparison, Lin Bujia's rough movements were too impactful...

If the old-timers saw it, they would probably go crazy, right?

Lin Bujia was still sighing. He never thought that one day he would have to dig up a Bing Xin Orchid so carefully.

Because he had to go out to collect medicinal herbs, he carried several medicine boxes specially used to hold medicinal materials, which came in handy at this moment.

Geng Ma was originally collecting red cloud bamboo hearts, but Lin Bujia didn't come over for a long time.

Turning around, he saw the young man digging an ice orchid, and frowned:

"Junior brother Lin, what are you doing? When can't Bing Xinlan be harvested? The task is urgent."

Lin Bujia quickly put away Bing Xinlan and stood up: "Come right away."

Geng Ma asked suspiciously: "Junior Brother Lin, what are you doing with that Bing Xin Lan?"

Lin Bujia babbled: "Well... I usually like to raise some spiritual grasses for fun. This Bingxinlan is quite rare, so I was wondering if I could take it back and raise it."

Geng Ma suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Lin, you are wrong. Although this Ice Heart Orchid is ordinary, the planting conditions are very harsh. If you bring it back to Jiahongfeng like this, you probably won't be able to feed it."

He handed Lin Bujia a tender red bamboo section: "The Red Cloud Bamboo grows well here, and there are more than three bamboo cores. I'll leave this one to you, Junior Brother Lin."

Lin Bujie quickly thanked him and took it.

I hesitated in my heart. This Geng Ma seemed to have no ill intentions. Could it be that Miss Ming was overly worried this time?

Seeing that the task had been completed, Lin Bujia took the opportunity to mention that he still had some herbs that he wanted to collect, and asked his two senior brothers to go first, and he would follow later.

Geng Ma hesitated for a moment: "This Ganhua Mountain Range is not safe. Can Junior Brother do it alone?"

Lin Bujie said quickly: "I have some tricks left to me by my adoptive father, senior brother, don't worry."

Geng Ma and Sun Jiamu looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

After the two left, Lin Bujia breathed a sigh of relief, took out the map, and set off towards the location of the ancient tomb.



"Senior Brother Sun, what I said is right, this guy really has something to hide."

Geng Ma hid in the bushes and looked at Lin Bujia's back with a smile: "I noticed along the way that he kept comparing himself to something."

"Now I'm finally sure that what he has in his hand should be a treasure map! Moreover, it exactly matches the one in my hand!"

Geng Ma took out a broken map: "I originally wanted to check whether this map was authentic, but I didn't expect that boy to have a complete map in his hands!"

Sun Jiamu narrowed his eyes and praised: "Junior Brother Geng is still smart, he came up with this plan of the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind!"

These two people didn't leave at all, but were waiting for Lin Bujia to take action!
