Chapter 26 An Unexpected Discovery

The golden-feathered eagle was eating happily when it suddenly instinctively sensed danger. The feathers on its neck exploded one after another, but before it could make any other moves, a water arrow flashed into its body, and the location was just between its most vulnerable chest and abdomen.

A shrill eagle cry was heard, and the golden-feathered eagle wanted to fly up, but it only rose about three feet, and then it fell to the ground with a "snap", completely silent.

Xiao Lin's face was happy, he hurriedly pulled away the green grass in front of him, dragged the golden-feathered eagle, who had already stopped breathing, into the cave, and then covered the cave entrance with green grass again, and continued to wait.

Soon, half a year passed, and Xiao Lin drove the ebony spirit shield and flew towards the direction of Wuyin Fairy City. Just yesterday, he finally gathered a hundred golden feathers, and the reason why he was so anxious to return to Wuyin Fairy City was because of a discovery that made him ecstatic.

It turned out that two months ago, he had hunted a lot of golden-feathered eagles and accumulated a lot of golden feathers. Although these feathers were not big, it was not pleasant to put dozens of them on his chest, so he thought of the strange space, and then he entered the strange space again through meditation, preparing to put these golden feathers into the storage bag, but when he put them away and was ready to leave, he accidentally glanced at the spiritual mist grass he planted next to the sapling.

He was surprised to find that the spiritual mist grass had already had a medicinal effect of about fifteen years, and the mist emitted by the three leaves almost covered the body. This discovery surprised him. He remembered very clearly that he had transplanted this spiritual mist grass to this strange space half a year ago. At that time, this spiritual mist grass was only about five or six years old, but in just half a year, it reached the medicinal effect of fifteen years, and it was completely at the level of being able to refine pills. This surprised him and made him puzzled.

So he began to study the strange space while hunting the golden-feathered eagle. He thought that the time in this space was different from that in the outside world, but after repeated experiments, he found that the time in the strange space was no different from that in the outside world, which made Xiao Lin begin to doubt the strange sapling.

Although he suspected, Xiao Lin was not sure that the reason why the spiritual fog grass grew to fifteen years of medicinal age so quickly was because of the sapling. He thought for a long time and finally came up with a solution that he thought would work, that is, to go back and buy some less than a year of spiritual fog grass or spiritual fog grass seeds, plant them and test them. If the saplings really have the ability to accelerate the maturity of spiritual grass, then he has got a great opportunity.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to return to Wuyin Xiancheng to test it, but the feathers of the golden-feathered eagle were still a little short, so Xiao Lin resisted the impulse and stayed on this grassland for another two months. Until yesterday, he gathered all the golden feathers to exchange for the wind shoes, and then he couldn't wait to return to Wuyin Xiancheng.

Xiao Lin's flying speed with the Ebony Spirit Shield was still not fast, but his proficiency had increased a lot. He could fly very stably, turn and rotate effortlessly, and even though his speed was not fast, it was much faster than when he used Qinggong. It only took him seven or eight days to return to Wuyin Fairy City.

After entering the city, he went to the refinery. The refinery was not a market, but a shop for forging magic tools. Xiao Lin had specially inquired about it. There was a cultivation family behind this refinery, and some people suspected that it was also related to the Bailian Sect. The most important thing was that it was here that he could exchange the golden feather for the wind-controlling shoes.

After entering the shop, a slightly fat old man came up to greet him. After seeing Xiao Lin, his face was full of smiles: "Fellow Daoist, do you want to buy magic tools or sell refining materials?"

He took a look at the fat old man. Although he could not see the fat old man's cultivation, he could feel from the spiritual pressure on him that the fat old man's cultivation was definitely much higher than his own, which made Xiao Lin alert.

"I heard from the innkeeper that you can exchange the golden feathers of the golden eagle for the wind-controlling shoes." Xiao Lin said expressionlessly.

Hearing this, the fat old man's eyes lit up, "Daoyou have golden feathers? But to exchange for wind-controlling shoes, you need a lot of golden feathers. Daoyou can..."

"Here are 100 feathers. You can order them." Xiao Lin took a green cloth bag from his waist and handed it to the fat old man.

The fat old man opened the bag, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Daoyou to be a hard-working cultivator. Few ordinary cultivators have the patience to hunt golden-winged eagles. Daoyou, please wait for a moment." After saying that, the fat old man turned and went to the back room.

Xiao Lin looked around. Apart from a few primary magic tools placed under the counter, he didn't see what he needed. After getting those materials from Li Yan, Xiao Lin was already a little disappointed with ordinary primary magic tools. He was thinking about whether to sell those materials and buy a mid-level attack magic tool. After all, he couldn't use the emerald green sword at all, and what he lacked most now was a powerful attack method.

"Daoyou, this is the wind-controlling shoes. It's a coincidence that you came. We just have a pair in stock in the refinery. Otherwise, even if Daoyou brought the golden feather, you would have to wait for a while." The fat old man was holding a pair of ordinary green boots, but Xiao Lin felt it slightly and nodded with satisfaction.

This kind of wind-controlling shoes usually look inconspicuous. Only when they are controlled, they will emit a faint green light, and then move like the wind. They are excellent auxiliary magic tools.

After wearing the pair of wind-controlling shoes on his feet with satisfaction, Xiao Lin left the refinery directly. Looking at Xiao Lin's back, the fat old man's eyes only flashed, then dimmed, and then turned into the inner room.

Originally, he wanted to sell the materials obtained from Li Yan, but Xiao Lin didn't trust the fat old man, so he stopped the impulse. Anyway, there are many similar shops in Wuyin Xiancheng, and it won't be too late to make a little bit in the future. The most important thing now is to verify whether the saplings in the strange space really have the ability to accelerate the growth cycle of spiritual medicine.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin came to the East City Market again. In comparison, Xiao Lin liked this place more. There were many low-level cultivators here, and the items they sold were even more varied, with all kinds of strange things. Xiao Lin even heard that someone had found some materials for refining spiritual tools here. You know, even the most ordinary spiritual tools are worth more than a thousand low-grade spiritual stones. Even for cultivators in the foundation-building period, not many people can own spiritual tools. It is estimated that if the low-level cultivator who sold the spiritual tool materials knew that he sold the spiritual tool materials cheaply, he would probably be depressed for a long time.

Xiao Lin arrived at the market soon. Compared with the last time Xiao Lin came, there were more cultivators setting up stalls today. Basically, as long as it was the materials and exercises of the Qi Refining period, they could be seen here. However, Xiao Lin did not come to Taobao, but came with a purpose. Soon, he found what he wanted. When he saw the stall owner, Xiao Lin couldn't help but be slightly stunned. It turned out that the stall owner was the girl he saw last time. She had shallow dimples, a fine scale-like golden headdress, and a pair of big eyes, scanning the passing cultivators from time to time.

Obviously, the girl didn't remember Xiao Lin, and Xiao Lin didn't care. What he cared about were some strange seeds on the girl's stall. These seeds occupied half of the stall, and the other half was selling some groceries. The Lingwu grass that he saw at that time was not on the stall, and it was thought that it had been sold.

Seeing Xiao Lin coming over, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "My fellow Taoist, the things here are all from the Tianlu Mountains. The price is cheap. If you want more, you can get some discounts."

Hearing this, Xiao Lin smiled slightly, pretended to look for a while, and then said to the girl: "I want to buy some Lingwu grass seeds. Do you have them here?"

The girl's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, these are all Lingwu grass seeds, and they are all picked as soon as they fall. They are all living seeds. I have two Lingwu grasses that are less than a year old. Do you want them?"

"You can bring them to me for a look." Xiao Lin said casually, while picking up a Lingwu grass seed and looking at it in his hand.

The girl took out two wooden boxes from a wooden box behind her, and then opened one of them. In the wooden box lay a somewhat wilted Lingwu grass. Xiao Lin took a look and found that this Lingwu grass was about six or seven years old. To refine the Yunling Pill, the Lingwu grass needed to be at least ten years old. Xiao Lin showed disappointment on his face.

"These two Lingwu grasses can be used as medicine after a few years of cultivation. It is better than planting them from scratch. If you want them, I can sell them at a lower price."

"If I want this small bag of Lingwu grass seeds plus these two Lingwu grasses that are not old enough, how many spiritual stones will it cost in total?" After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin raised his head and asked lightly.

"These two Lingwu grasses are worth a total of twelve low-grade spiritual stones. As for this small bag of Lingwu grass seeds, I will give it to you as a gift." The girl thought for a while and said.

A Lingwu grass with a medicinal age of more than ten years can be sold for at least twenty low-grade spiritual stones. If the sapling really has the ability to accelerate the growth of spiritual grass, then in just a few months, I will earn at least thirty more low-grade spiritual stones. However, if the sapling does not have that ability at all, then I will lose a lot.

Seeing the hesitant expression on Xiao Lin's face, the girl was a little anxious and said, "Daoyou, how about I give you another bag of Huichunhua seeds? If you want to grow Lingwu grass, you might as well plant some Huichunhua next to it. Huichunhua is the main medicinal material for refining Huiyuandan. You must know that for us cultivators, in addition to our own magic tools, the most important thing is the depth of our magic power. If you are fighting with others, if your magic power is not good, it will definitely be fatal. If you have a few Huiyuandan on you, you can quickly restore your magic power, which will definitely increase your chances of winning."

Hearing the girl's words, Xiao Lin's heart moved, and then he nodded: "Okay, at the price you said."
