Chapter 282 Water and Fire Spiritual Grass, Strange Fruit in the Cave (First Update)

The spirit beast Huodou has also appeared in the world of cultivation. It looks like a dog but eats fire, and its feces turns into fire.

Mortals say that its appearance will bring fire, so they list it as a fierce beast.

But cultivators know that this is putting the cart before the horse. It just likes to swallow flames, so it follows fire.

Li Qing glanced at the gray puppy: "Huodou? Isn't it black in the legend?"

Zhou Hanguang chuckled: "Maybe this one has faded?"

The puppy heard this and woofed angrily, and turned its butt towards its owner.

Li Qing smiled and said: "It is said that Huodou is a third-level spirit beast. If you feed it well, you may be able to rely on its prestige in the future."

The puppy's ears moved, and the light red halo on its body became brighter.

Zhou Hanguang shook his head in self-mockery: "Level 3 spirit beasts grow slowly. Maybe I will die, and it won't grow up yet."

Jiang Minghe also said: "Isn't that the case with those beast-controlling families? One beast is passed down for three generations, and the beast is still there when the man leaves..."

The puppy seemed to sense the master's depression and was no longer angry. It licked Zhou Hanguang's wrist gently with its wet tongue.

Li Qing didn't know how to respond to this. He always felt that the two were too negative. Obviously, they were quite calm before.

He had to change the subject: "This red fruit tree has been cured. I wonder if there are any other gains in this secret realm?"

Jiang Minghe sorted out his mood: "After finishing the business, we can do our best to show the hospitality of the host and take fellow Taoists to visit."

So the three of them went on a walking tour.

This secret realm is not large, about the size of a village.

To the east of Shitan is a cliff with red fruit trees, and beyond that is the boundary of the secret realm.

To the west of Shitan, there is a stretch of hills, which are not steep. There are no tall trees on them, only stretches of meadows and scattered low shrubs.

"Hey! This is Qingling grass?" Li Qing squatted down in surprise and looked at the spiritual grass that can be seen everywhere.

Its shape is no different from Qingling grass belonging to the water element, but its color is light red, with a faint fire aura.

Zhou Hanguang held the Huodou and whispered: "I showed it to the spiritual plant master and alchemist in Xiancheng. They said that Qingling grass has been infected by fire aura for a long time and has mutated."

"However, the grade of Qingling grass is originally low, and there is nothing special after mutation, so its use is limited."

Li Qing favored this grass: "I want to pick some and take it back to cultivate, I wonder if it's okay?"

Jiang Minghe smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist, please feel free. This thing is everywhere, and it's not worth a few spirit stones."

Li Qing thanked him, dug some with a medicine hoe, and put it in a jade box.

This mutated Qingling grass may be useless to others.

But for Li Qing, who established the Dao with the three elements of water, wood and fire and comprehended the principle of the mutual assistance of water and fire, it was a rare treasure.

After collecting the fire-attributed Qingling grass, Zhou and Jiang took him to visit the other spiritual plants in the secret realm.

They were all of the first or second grade, and the highest was only the lower grade of the second grade. The effects were not outstanding, and they did not catch Li Qing's eye.

Until the last hill, Jiang Minghe brushed away a vine and revealed a cave: "Daoyou, please come in, there are treasures here."

The cave was a little dim, but it was not a hindrance to cultivators.

Li Qing followed the two people into the cave, walked forward for dozens of steps, and suddenly felt bright in front of his eyes.

I saw dark green vines growing on the rock wall of the cave, and bright red fruits were growing on the vines.

Jiang Minghe picked one and handed it to Li Qing: "Daoyou, look, this kind of spiritual fruit has never been seen in my Great Zhou."

"Taking it can strengthen the Taoist body and increase the fire element. We have tasted it many times and finally determined it to be a second-level upper grade."

"Oh?" Li Qing raised his eyebrows, took the fruit and looked at it, and found that it was slightly hard to the touch, and it bounced back a little when gently pinched.

He did not hide it, first brushed the medicine identification technique, confirmed that there were no toxic side effects, and then washed it with Ganlin and threw it into his mouth.

"Crack..." With a little force on the teeth, the fruit broke like a hard candy, and the slightly hot fruit pulp inside flowed out.

The crispy shell was a little sweet, and the fruit pulp inside was actually hot and spicy.

Li Qing was choked by accident, and a sneeze actually sprayed sparks from his mouth: "Ah!"

"Hahaha..." Zhou Hanguang and Jiang Minghe laughed out loud.

Huodou also found it interesting, opened its mouth, and spurted out a flame, obviously imitating.

Zhou Hanguang knocked on its head and fed it one.

"Woof!" The puppy was not uncomfortable, but found it fun, and spurted out flames like a frolic.

Li Qing took a deep breath and swallowed the pulp and the chewed shell together.

Suddenly, a burning breath rose in the stomach and then spread to the whole body.

After Li Qing established his foundation, his body was pure and spotless.

The fruit did not refine any impurities, but only pushed him a little closer to the second-level body cultivation.

On the contrary, the fire element power in it, after being integrated into Li Qing's true essence and fused with the Nirvana Fire, actually flashed the shadow of a deer-shaped spirit beast.

But the shadow was swallowed by the Bifang transformed by the Nirvana Fire before it took shape.

"You two Taoist brothers didn't warn me in advance and watched me make a fool of myself. This is not very kind!" Li Qing, who had recovered his breath, glared at the two of them.

Jiang Minghe laughed: "It was just a little joke. When we first tasted this fruit, we were also affected."

Zhou Hanguang asked with concern: "How is it? Is this fruit effective?"

Li Qing nodded: "If consumed in large quantities, it will help the transformation of the spiritual fire. It is appropriate to list it as a second-level superior product."

Zhou Hanguang flicked his sleeves, and Zhenyuan rolled up a third of the fruit from the vines on the rock wall, put it in a jade box and handed it to Li Qing.

"Since this fruit is beneficial to fellow Taoists, these can be regarded as our apology just now."

Li Qing was stunned and quickly refused: "How can this be done! It's too expensive."

Jiang Minghe pulled Li Qing and pressed the jade box directly into his hand: "Just accept it. This fruit can still be produced in the future, but it's not gone."

Fu Dou also barked several times, as if urging him to accept it.

Li Qing couldn't resist his kindness, so he had no choice but to accept the fruit. Feeling sorry for it, he brushed the fruit vine with the small magical power of green wood and the gentle rain of the wind in front of the two of them.

Zhou and Jiang were amazed.

"My fellow Taoist's spiritual planting technique is truly amazing!" Jiang Minghe said with emotion.

"If I had known this, I should have worked harder. Maybe I could have convinced Master to give you a genuine Foundation Establishment Pill."

Li Qing didn't answer the question and just asked casually: "How are you, Senior Lin?"

The atmosphere in the cave suddenly became quiet.

After a short while, Zhou Hanguang said softly: "My master tried to attack the core formation a few years ago, but after the failure, he became immortal and passed away..."

Li Qing couldn't help being stunned: "Sorry, I really don't know."

Jiang Minghe shook his head: "It was Tanyuan Immortal City that restricted the news. It is normal for Taoist friends not to know."

Xiuxian asked, it's never been smooth sailing. Some people stop moving forward, while others rise to the challenge.

The master chose to overcome the tribulation and form the elixir. Although he did not regret it, as his disciples, they could only be happy for his old man.
