Hearing Liu Hao's words, Yang Chong and others immediately came to Liu Hao's side and asked, "Where is it?"
Blood ginseng is a superior elixir.
If it is a thousand-year-old blood elixir, it can even be called the best elixir.
These elixirs have great uses.
It can play a great role in the refining of various elixirs.
Looking at the entire Hanyang Dynasty, there may not be a few such top-quality elixirs.
No wonder Yang Chong and others were so surprised.
"follow me!"
Liu Hao said something and walked towards the black grass.
"Is this the Thousand-Year Blood Spirit Ginseng you are talking about?"
Seeing this black grass, Yang Chong frowned and said, "This is obviously a black grass!"
Black grass is a very common herbal medicine.
Not to mention the Shiyan Mountains, other mountains can be seen everywhere.
The biggest feature of black grass is that the grass is black and dense.
"His appearance does look like black grass, but take a closer look at the surrounding environment!"
Liu Hao replied.
"environment?"
Yang Chong glanced around and asked, "What's wrong with the environment?"
"Black grass is an ordinary herb with a strong dampness. The living environment it needs is also very simple, dark and damp!"
Liu Hao explained, "Although it is shaded by trees all year round, it is definitely not considered dark and humid."
"Secondly, wherever black grass can grow, it grows in patches!"
"Under normal circumstances, no matter how rare it is, it is impossible for only one plant to grow!"
Yang Chong frowned and said, "But it doesn't look like Blood Spirit Ginseng!"
Then he said, "Let alone a thousand years!"
"Whether it is Blood Spirit Ginseng remains to be verified, but it is undoubtedly a ginseng herb!"
Liu Hao stretched out his hand and turned over the piece of black grass and said, "One thing that is certain is that this ginseng herb is at least a thousand years old, and may be close to two thousand years!"
"Are you so sure?"
Yang Chong asked in shock.
"Look at this black grass!"
Liu Hao pulled it gently and said, "You don't need to count it. Just a rough look, there are at least hundreds of them!"
"What does this mean?"
Yang Chong asked.
"If ginseng medicine grows in the form of grass, then the amount of grass represents its age!"
At this time, Hei Yin spoke.
However, after he explained, he asked Liu Hao, "But there are only hundreds of roots here, why do you say they are thousands of years old?"
Then he said, "Besides, there seems to be no ginseng among these grasses, right? How dare you say it is a ginseng herb?"
Ginseng grass is the most essence among the ginseng herbs.
It has a bright color and a different shape from other grass blades. It is unique and looks like a human!
"Do you know about ginseng grass?"
Liu Hao stretched out his hand and pinched one of the brightest and straight grass blades among the grass blades.
"No!"
Hei Yin shook his head.
"Higher-grade ginseng herbs generally do not have branched stems, because after a certain number of years, they will become conscious and move on their own to find the most suitable place for growth!"
Liu Hao explained, "But herbal medicines that are not too high in grade can only attract the most primitive and common source of power. They cannot absorb spiritual power and cannot have consciousness."
"So, once you get over a hundred years, you start to get branching!"
"After a thousand years, the number of branches will increase!"
As he spoke, he bit his finger and dripped the blood on the grass blades held in his other hand, "This grass grows from the stems!"
Hearing this, Hei Yin and others finally understood.
This black grass is just a branch of the Millennium Blood Spirit Ginseng.
"It must be blood ginseng!"
At this time, Liu Hao's blood had penetrated into the grass blades.
Through the Qiankun Sky Eye, Liu Hao could feel that his blood was rapidly spreading forward after merging with the weak source power.
If this ginseng is fused but has no spiritual power, then it is not a blood ginseng, but just an ordinary blood ginseng.
This type of blood ginseng absorbs only the most common source power.
This kind of original power will not be of any help to the cultivation of spiritual power.
However, the help it does to the body is terrifying.
If the world is compared to a person, then the earth is the body and heaven is the soul.
Blood ginseng absorbs the original power of the earth. It is the simplest but most helpful original power to the body.
After confirming that it was a blood ginseng that was more than a thousand years old, he stood up and walked in the direction of the blood flow.
The others didn't ask any questions and just followed silently.
Not long after, Liu Hao found the second stem, dripping blood, and looked further.
The third place...
The fourth place...
…
"etc!"
When Liu Hao was about to move forward with blood dripping from his ninth branch, Yang Chong finally grabbed Liu Hao and said, "We can't go any further. Going any further will be the territory of the third-order spirit beast!"
"The lethality possessed by the third-level spirit beast is very terrifying!"
"There are some third-level spiritual beasts that can destroy even a hill with one palm strike!"
After a pause, he added, "That's not a blood ginseng, it's just a blood ginseng. It's not worth taking the risk for a blood ginseng!"
In Yang Chong's view, if it's just one blood ginseng, it's not worth taking the risk even if it's ten thousand years, let alone a thousand years.
Because the help that blood ginseng can provide is limited.
Once you become a spiritual warrior, the help that blood ginseng can bring can almost be ignored!
After all, spiritual warriors can control spiritual power and achieve a qualitative leap in combat effectiveness.
By that time, the role that the body can play will be very small. What can really change the situation of the battle are usually martial arts, spiritual power, techniques and spiritual weapons.
"I must get this blood ginseng!"
Liu Hao shook his head and said firmly.
To others, this blood ginseng may not be important, but to him it is very, very important.
With this blood ginseng, the Nine-turn Immortal Divine Art he practiced can directly enter the first-turn second refinement, or even reach the third refinement, completely completing the basic transformation of the body.
At that time, he can completely ignore ordinary swords.
After saying this, Liu Hao headed forward.
Yang Chong and others gritted their teeth and followed.
"It will be really dangerous if we go any further!"
When Liu Hao found the twelfth branch, he turned his head and looked at Heiyin and others, and said, "You go back to the original cave and wait for me."
"But……"
"Do not worry about me!"
Liu Hao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't make fun of my own life!"
He added, "Besides, if you don't follow me, I will be safer. After all, there will be fewer people, the target will be smaller, and the movement will be much smaller."
"Oh well!"
Yang Chong and others did not force themselves, nodded, and then cautiously retreated towards the rear.
Liu Hao, on the other hand, just moved on!
…
Two hours later, when the sky gradually darkened, Liu Hao found the eighteenth path.
To be precise, it is the main stem, where the real blood ginseng is located.
It's still a valley.
The mouth of the valley is very wide, and you can see some things inside from a distance.
There is a red flame star-patterned lion lying in the valley!
The surrounding stone walls are very high and there are many trees growing there.
There were many medicinal herbs growing on the stone walls inside, and Liu Hao even saw the second elixir Hei Yin had been looking for, Star Wind Fruit!
Immediately, he held his breath and cautiously approached the valley.
Arriving at the entrance of the valley, he climbed onto a five-meter-high stone platform at the entrance of the valley.
Well……
The moment he climbed up, the red flame star-patterned lion suddenly let out a low groan.
Liu Hao was so frightened that he immediately hid behind the stone wall and held his breath, not daring to move.
call!
After a while, the red flame star-patterned lion closed his eyes again and entered a sleep state.
Immediately, Liu Hao turned his head and looked over.
I saw three looming light red spiritual lines emerging on the forehead of the red flame star-patterned lion.
The red spirit pattern is the hallmark of spirit beasts, and the three lines represent the third level!
This red flame star-patterned lion is a third-level spiritual beast.
He took a deep breath, but did not dare to breathe out loudly. He just kept a solemn expression and carefully observed the situation in the cave.
After looking through it, Liu Hao's brows furrowed.
This valley is not too big. With the ability of the third-level spiritual beast Red Flame Star Pattern Lion, he will be discovered no matter how he enters.
If you want to get the Star Wind Fruit and Blood Ginseng, you have to kill the Red Flame Star Pattern Lion.
Or, lure out the Red Flame Star Pattern Lion!
Impossible to kill!
Seduction...
Liu Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head. With his current strength, it was no different than seeking death!
It was getting dark and it was not suitable to stay here for a long time. Immediately, he climbed down quietly and returned to the cave where Yang Chong and others were.
"How is it going?"
After returning to the cave, Yang Chong and others asked.
"Not only did I find the blood ginseng, I also found the star wind fruit!" Liu Hao said, "But the trouble is, there is a third-level spiritual beast guarding the valley, the red flame star pattern lion!"
The first half of the sentence made everyone happy.
But the next half sentence made everyone fall silent.
What a powerful existence the third-level spiritual beast is!
With their strength in the Spirit Cave Realm, they would be dead if they encountered a second-order spirit beast, let alone a third-order spirit beast.
"Have a night's rest and let's leave tomorrow morning!"
Hei Yin shook his head and said helplessly.
"I'll go take a look tomorrow!"
Liu Hao shook his head.
"That's a third-level spiritual beast, and we don't even have the slightest power to resist!"
Hei Yin frowned.
"I know!"
Liu Hao nodded, "Don't worry, I won't mess around!"
…
Early the next morning, Liu Hao, Yang Chong and others set out together to head to the valley.
However, Yang Chong and others did not go with Liu Hao.
Instead, he found a cave about a quarter of an hour away from the valley and stayed there.
Liu Hao went to the valley alone.
After Liu Hao observed the valley for a whole day, he returned to the cave.
The next day, Liu Hao did not go to the valley again, but took Hei Yin to a safe forest to start practicing.
There are three main directions for his cultivation.
First, speed!
Second, fight!
Third, the body!
The medicinal power in his body has not yet been fully absorbed, so he needs to use high-intensity training to accelerate the absorption of the medicinal power, and at the same time continuously strengthen his body's fighting ability and speed ability.
…
In the blink of an eye, another five days passed.
On this day, when the two of them finished their sparring and were about to go back, something unexpected happened...
