Longevity: Starting from the Talent of Infant Growth

Chapter 2 New Talent: Searching the Mountains for Treasures

Half a month later.

Zhou Ling became more proficient as he walked and could now trot.

His physical condition has also improved a lot.

At more than seven months old, except for some nutritional deficiencies, everything else is almost the same as a normal baby.

Of course, it is still far inferior to those babies with special physiques.

"If you were born on the original Blue Star and learned to walk in seven months, you would definitely be a monster."

"But this is the world of cultivating immortals. Some children from aristocratic families have taken medicinal baths since they were young, and they are extremely powerful. The gap between me and them is huge!"

Zhou Ling didn't dare to relax at all.

Keep walking.

At this time, the door creaked, and then the burly Zhou Shan walked in.

Because he had to buy enough spiritual food for Zhou Ling in the past few months, he stayed in the wilderness for almost twenty days every month.

Having been sleeping in the open air, my face already had a bit of a hard-earned feeling of wind and frost.

After Zhou Shan entered the door, he put down the medicine basket he was carrying. It was full of a bunch of elixirs with unknown names, and then he breathed out softly.

There were dried and dark blood stains on his coat. Needless to say, he must have encountered a monster again.

Zhou Shan's brows were furrowed, his steps were heavy, and his expression was tired. Coupled with the bloodstains on his clothes, it made people feel a bit vicissitudes of life and a chilling feeling that strangers should not approach him.

Just when he walked into the house and saw his wife and children, his whole temperament changed, as if he was an indomitable warrior returning to the home he protected with his life.

Looking at Zhou Ling walking around, Zhou Shan, who had a face full of dust, showed a gentle smile, looked at the child dotingly, and said with a hoarse smile, "Ling'er can walk so far, in a few months, he will I can go into the mountains with my father to find medicine!”

Li Ru took off the basket for him and handed him a wet cloth to wipe his face, "Ling'er is just a little more active. Others are very well-behaved. Don't worry!"

When he saw the elixirs in the basket, he couldn't help but said, "Why are they all ordinary seven-star grass this time?"

Zhou Shan shook his head and said helplessly, "Winter is coming soon. There are so many people going into the mountains that it is impossible to find good medicine."

"I will go into the mountains again the day after tomorrow. I will try my best to find more before winter comes, so that I can earn more spirit stones and buy more spirit beast meat for Ling'er to replenish his blood."

Li Ru looked at the blood stains on his clothes and said worriedly, "Hey, I have to take care of Ling'er at home. It's too dangerous for you to be alone. It's better to wait until the beginning of the new year before going into the mountains!"

Zhou Shan sighed, "We won't be able to go into the mountains for the next few months, and we won't have any income. The child is already weak, so he still needs to be fed with spiritual porridge and animal meat to make him grow taller."

"Besides, I might enter a Taoist temple in two years, so I need to save more spiritual stones."

As Zhou Shan spoke, he smiled at Zhou Ling and said, "Little Ling'er, come here and give me a hug!"

After looking at the blood stains on Zhou Shan's body, Li Ru stopped him and said, "Take a shower first and change clothes. Don't scare the child!"

"I didn't pay attention!" Zhou Shan nodded, "Get me some food, I'm almost starving to death!"

"You didn't take the Bigu Pill!" Li Ru sighed, complaining slightly.

He went into the mountains to collect herbs and slept in the open air. Li Ru also prepared some dry food for him and two Bigu Pills.

One Bigu Pill costs thirty broken spirits, which can last for two or three days.

They had been married for many years, and she could tell from Zhou Shan's expression that he was definitely reluctant to take the Bigu Pill.

"I'm not hungry even in the mountains!" Zhou Shan said with a smile.

Then he walked towards the bathroom.

Li Ru shook his head, knowing that it was very stressful for her husband to support the family alone.

But the child was still young, so she couldn't help at this moment, so she murmured, "I will be able to help when the child goes to the monastery."

Afterwards, he went to the kitchen to prepare food for Zhou Shan.

Zhou Ling unconsciously walked to the basket, jumped up and down, grabbed the basket, and grabbed a few elixirs with his little hands.

The basket was a head taller than him.

[Growth Talent, Searching Mountains for Treasures: You can feel the breath of elixirs and treasures around you. Achieve requirements: Identify thirty kinds of spiritual herbs in total. 】

"Searching the mountains for treasure? Do you still need to identify the elixir?"

Looking at the prompts that appeared on the panel, Zhou Ling was stunned for a moment.

Then I felt happy. Since Zhou Shan and his wife were medicine seekers, most of their daily contacts were also medicine seekers or monster hunters.

Lingxia Fairy City is just a small border town of the Dao League. The barren mountains and wilderness outside stretch for thousands of miles. There are countless kinds of spiritual plants, monsters, and minerals in the mountains.

But the treasures in the mountains are extremely difficult to obtain. Firstly, there are monsters in the mountains, which are a huge threat to human monks. Secondly, if you go deep into the wilderness, you will encounter evil fog.

Once the elixir is contaminated by the evil mist and loses its breath, it is extremely difficult to find.

Medicine seekers like Zhou Shan usually find only ordinary medicinal herbs.

If you can find a first-level high-grade spiritual grass, then one plant will cost several low-grade spiritual stones.

If I have such a talent, it will not be easy to go into the mountains to find medicine in the future.

If you cooperate with [Crisis Response], it will be released!

Zhou Ling thought to himself.

"This seems to be Seven Star Grass, which is usually used to refine ordinary talisman paper."

Zhou Ling murmured.

During this period of time, he also got to know some spiritual herbs.

[Identify the seven-star grass, search the mountains for treasure +1]

"That's great!"

Grasping the seven-star grass, Zhou Ling seemed to feel different from before.

It can be felt that this spiritual grass has been growing for about three years and is full of vitality. It was just picked not long ago.

"Ling'er, be careful!"

Li Ru, who came out of the kitchen with a plate of fried vegetables, saw this scene and put the plate on the wooden table.

Hurried over and held Zhou Ling.

"Mom, what kind of spiritual herb is this?"

Zhou Ling asked in a baby voice.

Although he was only seven months old, Zhou Ling was very talented in language and could already speak short sentences.

"My dear son, this is Seven Star Grass. One plant can be sold for six or seven pieces of broken spirits."

"The spiritual herbs your father has picked these days can be sold for seven or eight spiritual stones!"

Li Ru said softly.

"What is this?"

Zhou Ling waved his white and tender little hands again, grabbed another spiritual herb and asked.

"Son, you are interested in spiritual herbs at such a young age. Become an alchemist in the future."

"This is Lingmu Grass, a relatively unconventional spiritual herb. After eating, it has a miraculous effect of improving eyesight."

Li Ru said to Zhou Ling with a smile.

[Identify Lingmu Grass, Search the Mountain for Treasures +1]

Looking at the warm scene of Li Ru holding the child, Zhou Shan, who had taken a bath and changed his clothes, suddenly felt that all the hard work and fatigue on his body were swept away.

"It's not that easy to be an alchemist."

"Ling'er, you must be hungry. Come and have dinner with us!" Zhou Shan said with a generous smile.

He quickly drank a big mouthful of the fragrant and sticky spiritual rice porridge and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's so comfortable!"

Although it was just the lowest-priced spiritual rice mixed with ordinary rice, Li Ru's cooking skills were very good and Zhou Shan ate it with relish.

"If our son really becomes an alchemist in the future, we will be blessed!"

Li Ru held Zhou Ling in one hand and held the medicine basket in the other hand and sat down on the bench next to Zhou Shan.

The midday sun shone into the house, casting circles of flickering light and shadows, reflecting on Zhou Ling.

Zhou Shan turned sideways and used his left hand, which was not holding the bowl, to pinch Zhou Ling's soft little face, and laughed, "We are casual cultivators. We have no inheritance and no resources. It is not very realistic to become alchemists."

"I will be very satisfied if Ling'er can become a talisman master or a weapon refiner in the future!"

"Yes, it would be great if my son could enter the Taoist temple in the future!" Li Ru served Zhou Shan a bowl of meat soup and said with a smile.

This is the spirit beast meat soup that Zhou Ling stewed every day to nourish his body.

Zhou Ling had just eaten spiritual rice porridge and was not hungry now. He looked at the medicine basket in front of Li Ru.

The couple began to discuss the matter of their children entering Lingxia Taoist Temple in the future.

From their conversation, Zhou Ling learned that the more popular professions in this world are array masters, alchemists, rune masters and weapon refiners.

Generally, children have to go to the Taoist temple to test their spiritual roots when they are two or three years old.

Children with spiritual roots and cultivation talents can start their enlightenment education before cultivation in the Taoist temple and enter the kindergarten class.

Similar to the kindergarten in Blue Star.

Of course, they teach the basic knowledge of cultivation.

The Taoist Academy will start to divide children from around seven or eight years old. Different children will choose different cultivation professions according to their different talents and abilities. At this time, their identities will also be different, and they will be considered as outer disciples of Lingxia Xianmen.

Of course, this process will screen out some people.

If they have good grades later, they can become inner disciples or direct disciples.

Then their identities are completely different, far from being comparable to ordinary casual cultivators.

But the probability of becoming an inner disciple of Lingxia Sect is extremely low, less than one in ten each year.
