Mortals' aspirations to cultivate immortality

Most of Qiu'an County is a plain area, but the terrain begins to undulate toward the west of Qiu'an County.

After arriving at Yaowang Valley, there are countless mountains and swamps to the west.

As disciples of the Medicine Collection Hall, Lin Yi and the others naturally wanted to go to such a place.

Early the next morning, Lin Yi walked alone into the mountains carrying a backpack.

Although there are many medicinal materials in the deep mountains and swamps, it would be difficult to complete the tasks assigned by the sect if many people work together.

Therefore, unless someone discovers medicinal materials that are valuable enough and cannot be collected by themselves, they will go into the mountains to collect herbs with others.

"Dendrobium, seven leaves, should be seven years old. There are eight in total here. They should be worth one or two silver." Lin Yi put the collected medicinal materials into his backpack with satisfaction.

He is now two days away from the sect and has begun to harvest some valuable medicinal materials.

The task assigned by the sect is to collect medicinal materials worth one hundred taels a month. As long as the task is met, the rest can be arranged by yourself.

If you reach two hundred taels, it will be considered a merit, and you can go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to choose martial arts secrets.

Two hundred taels may seem like a lot, but if you are lucky enough to collect valuable medicinal materials, it is still relatively easy.

This is also the reason why it is easiest to make meritorious service in the herbal collection hall. After all, there are enough precious medicinal materials in the deep mountains and old forests.

The sect is not afraid that you will not hand over the precious medicinal materials you collected. After all, as a disciple of the Jianghu, making money is to buy secret books or elixirs that can enhance your own strength.

These things are much cheaper within the sect than buying them outside.

Any cheat book outside is worth a few hundred taels of silver, and pills to enhance strength are even more expensive.

Lin Yi's current goal is naturally to collect more medicinal materials and improve his strength as soon as possible.

After all, although there are no rivers and lakes fighting in this deep mountain and old forest, you will occasionally encounter some jackals, tigers and leopards. Only if you have the strength can you safely collect medicinal materials.

After putting the dendrobium away, Lin Yi looked ahead. It was a huge cliff canyon: "The cliff is the easiest place to find valuable medicinal materials. I have to go and see it."

Lin Yi came to the edge of the cliff and stopped. The cliff was bottomless, and the area more than ten feet away was covered by thick fog, making it impossible to see below.

There were occasionally some plants growing on the cliff. Lin Yi observed them one by one. If he came across good medicinal materials, he would definitely collect them.

Along the top of the cliff, Lin Yi stopped step by step, not missing every corner of the cliff.

"Huh?" Lin Yi suddenly stopped and looked at a place on the cliff.

That location was covered by thick fog. When Lin Yi came over just now, it happened to be blown away by a gust of wind, and Lin Yi could see a medicinal plant growing there.

The medicinal material looks crystal clear, like emerald. Although it is very small, it is not ordinary at first glance.

Lin Yi thought about it and finally remembered the name of this medicinal material - Ninglu grass.

Dew grass is the main ingredient in refining an elixir that enhances internal strength. After taking that elixir, it can directly increase one's internal strength for a year, which is extremely overbearing.

After remembering the function of this thing, Lin Yi almost jumped up.

What is the most important thing in the world, weapons? Fame? No, as long as you have enough strength, these things are easily within reach.

A pill that can directly enhance internal strength is simply a magic medicine. Once it appears in the world, it will be a bloody storm.

Although Lin Yi didn't have any internal power yet, he still felt a passion for the Dew Grass. After all, he didn't have internal power now, but it didn't mean that he would never have internal power in his life.

But he quickly shook his head, not to mention that Yaowang Valley had been a great favor to him, teaching him how to read and write and teach him martial arts.

As for the pill that increases internal strength, only the elders in the sect can refine it. Even if Lin Yi swallowed the dew grass privately, it would have no effect.

It is said that after someone found the dew grass, he swallowed it alive because he didn't know how to refine the elixir.

As a result, in less than a quarter of an hour, the poor man who had swallowed the dew grass alive exploded and died.

Lin Yi didn't want to explode and die. Even if the dew grass was of the lowest age, it would be worth two hundred taels of silver if it was handed over to the sect. He had no reason not to hand it over.

“After saying so much, it’s still true to collect them!”

Lin Yi observed that the location was at least twenty feet away from the top of the cliff, and the rope he brought was thirty feet long, enough for him to collect the dew grass.

He looked around and found a waist-thick tree. He put one end of the rope he brought on the rope and tied the other end around his waist.

After arriving at the edge of the cliff and confirming that there was no danger, Lin Yi pulled the rope and used the Lost Step to slide down.

It's not that Lin Yi is pursuing speed, but that the Lost Steps have the effect of making the body lighter. This is also the reason why he had to learn Qinggong when he first entered Yaowang Valley.

Lin Yi quickly descended to the location where the dew grass grew. There was a platform less than a foot wide and about two feet long.

There are five dew grass growing on it. Its appearance is slightly like dendrobium, but its body is as emerald and emerald green, making people know that it is extraordinary at a glance.

They all have more than four leaves, and there is a dark green spot on the lowermost leaf, which means that these dewgrass are more than ten years old.

Condensation grass that is more than ten years old is worth more than five hundred taels!

Lin Yi's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that he would be so lucky the first time he went out to collect herbs. He actually collected herbs worth thousands of taels of silver.

"I'm rich, I'm rich. I'll go and choose some powerful secrets when I go back!" Lin Yi said as he dug the condensed dew grass.

He shoveled out the condensed dew grass with the soil, put it in a cloth bag, and put it in his arms.

Of course, in order to make a steady income, he also left one, which is the principle of a herbalist.

After packing up, Lin Yi was satisfied and climbed up with the rope.

However, at this time, Lin Yi suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind.

"There is danger!" Although Lin Yi had no experience of danger, he was very fast. He kicked the cliff in a hurry and turned around to punch the tiger behind him.

"Roar" a faint tiger roar sounded, and Lin Yi punched.

However, the sneak attack was very fast. Lin Yi only hit its wings, and its claws had already grabbed Lin Yi's chest.

Suddenly, a wound appeared on Lin Yi's chest.

And Lin Yi also saw clearly what attacked him.

It was a huge mountain eagle with a wingspan of more than ten feet, and its body was as big as a calf.

Although it scratched Lin Yi's chest, Lin Yi's punch hit its wings, causing it to lose stability and slide directly to the bottom of the cliff.
