With Lin Shan's current strength, if Cang Yan knew that he was still alive, he would definitely be silenced.
So for the next two days, Lin Shan kept hiding in the house and didn't go anywhere.
And Cang Yan thought that if he hit Lin Shan with a palm, Lin Shan would definitely die. What's more, he fell to the bottom of the cliff and his body could not be found, so naturally he did not come to Lin Shan's residence.
He spent two days peacefully like this, and with the help of the elixir, Lin Shan was able to move around normally.
Early on the third day, Gardenia came again to deliver pills to Lin Shan. After thanking Lin Shan, he asked, "Junior Sister Gardenia, are you still going to the back mountain to collect herbs today?"
Gardenia nodded and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Lin, what can I do for you?"
"I want to go with you, but I don't know if it's convenient?" Lin Shan made an excuse and said.
"What's the inconvenience? It's just that, senior brother, can you climb the mountain now?" Gardenia looked at Lin Shan and asked.
Lin Shan patted his chest and said with a smile: "I feel much better after taking the pill you gave me."
"Okay, please pack up and let's set off now." Although Gardenia didn't know why Lin Shan wanted to go with her, she was very happy at the thought of being able to collect herbs with Senior Brother Lin.
Lin Shan packed up briefly, then carried a self-made animal skin satchel with some food in it, and headed back up the mountain with Gardenia.
"Senior Brother Lin, why did you remember to go collecting herbs with me?" Gardenia asked as she jumped up and down.
Lin Shan thought for a while and said: "I want to learn some knowledge about herbal medicine from you, so that if I encounter it when cutting firewood in the future, I can pick it up in exchange for some money."
"Well, that's true. But the herbs in the back mountain are all ordinary and can't be sold for much. This time I will take you to a good place." Gardenia narrowed her crescent eyes and said somewhat mysteriously.
"What a good place?" Lin Shan vaguely felt that this good place might be related to that chance.
"I discovered an underground cave in the back mountain. It is very big and deep. Many precious medicinal materials grow in it. But I dare not go deep into it alone. This time, with Senior Brother Lin following me, we can go and find out." Gardenia said.
.
"Underground cave? Has no one ever been in it?" Lin Shan asked pretending to be curious.
Gardenia nodded and said: "According to my observation, there are no traces of human activities inside. It is difficult to find that place, and I only found it by accident."
"There might be some treasure inside." Lin Shan smiled.
Gardenia smiled and said: "You also know that I am very timid. Even if I have a treasure, I don't dare to go too deep."
"It doesn't matter. I'll accompany you this time to see if we have any good opportunities." Lin Shan said.
The two of them were walking and chatting, not to mention how happy they were.
This is Lin Shan's first time out in this world.
Houshan is the collective name for a large mountain range located behind the sect. There are seventy-two lotus peaks in total. The peaks tower into the clouds and are filled with majestic aura.
There are countless spiritual birds and animals in the mountains and forests, as well as veins of elixirs and minerals.
The most important thing is that many caves for cultivation have been built deep in these mountains. There are some today and some for ancient monks. If you have a good chance and find an ancient monk's cave, you may be able to make a comeback.
The herb gathering place that Linshan and Gardenia are going to is located on the fifth front, which is not a place with the most herbal medicines.
But it is the place where Gardenia goes most often, because there are not too many herbs here, so there are few people coming, so there will be no snatching.
Gardenia has a low status and poor strength. If she is robbed, she will have no choice but to swallow her grievances.
So she would rather collect less medicine than go to places where people gather.
After walking for less than half a day, the two of them had arrived at the foot of the Fifth Front Mountain.
Lin Shan raised his head and looked at the location of the peak. The place was filled with clouds and mist, and the sky was filled with glow, just like a fairyland.
"Senior Brother Lin, come with me." Gardenia saw Lin Shan in a daze and called him.
Lin Shan saw the direction Gardenia was walking and asked curiously: "Junior Sister Gardenia, why don't we go up the mountain?"
"Let's go this way." Gardenia waved, and then led Lin Shan along a downward road toward the mountain stream.
Lingyun Sect's seventy-two lotus peaks are not all connected to each other. Some are deep ravines, some are surging rivers, and some are steep cliffs.
The current location of Linshan and Gardenia is at the top of the mountain stream.
And judging from this meaning, it means going deep into the mountain stream.
"Gardenia, is there no road here?" When we reached the end of the road, there was a cliff further ahead. We couldn't see the bottom at a glance, and everything we could see was filled with mist.
"Senior Brother Lin, look here." Gardenia smiled at Lin Shan, and then pointed to a big tree next to it.
Lin Shan looked over suspiciously and saw that the big tree was estimated to be thousands of years old. The entire thick trunk grew crookedly among the cliffs. The crown of the tree was lush and huge, covering a large area around it.
There was a big gap in the thick tree trunk, as if someone had struck it with an axe.
Gardenia was so thin that she slipped into the gap and soon lost sight of anyone.
Lin Shan was afraid that she would wait too long, so he quickly got in, followed the tree hole, and soon slid into a relatively spacious cave.
The humidity in the cave is relatively heavy, there is water on the ground, and the top of the head is covered with many stalactites.
"Gardenia, is this the cave you mentioned?"
"Well, look, there are a lot of medicinal herbs growing there, which are not commonly seen. The elixir I gave you to heal your wounds before was replaced by the herbs here." Gardenia pointed to a piece not far away.
A stone the size of a stone table is covered with mushroom-like fungi.
"This is a thousand-year-old stone fungus. Although it is not widely used, it is one of the main medicines. Because it is rare, its value has always been high. Today we will collect some more and go out to buy more elixirs." Gardenia said.
Lin Shan nodded, and then under the guidance of Gardenia, he collected some Millennium Stone Fungi and put them into his backpack.
They didn't pick it all. Although the stuff was good, they couldn't catch it all.
Lin Shan lit the torch, then took Gardenia's hand and continued walking inside.
The road inside the cave is rugged and complicated, and some rare medicinal materials are always found on the roadside or on the walls.
It must have something to do with the environment here. The two happily collected herbs and explored forward.
While walking, Gardenia suddenly let out a scream and disappeared from the spot.
Lin Shan was collecting herbs on the other side just now and didn't see what was going on. When he heard the exclamation, he quickly looked over and saw that where Gardenia stood before, the stone wall suddenly turned into a distorted face.
