Zhou Xiu did not take a long-distance bus, but followed the passing bus from the national highway so that he could get off at any time.

Go west all the way.

After walking through famous mountains and rivers, all the meridians are gone, and I can’t feel a trace of spiritual energy.

This fact made Zhou Xiu almost feel desperate.

Then he went to the Buddhist holy land and Taoist ancestral temple. He did not see the great monks, but saw many ordinary people, and they were full of hearts.

He gave up completely and no longer had hope for these places and people.

Continue to go west, the terrain gradually becomes steeper, with strong pine trees and steep rocks. The ubiquitous tourists seem to be gradually left behind until they are rarely crowded.

Although the spiritual herbs are still missing, it has less worldly restlessness and a little more tranquility and naturalness, which has gradually calmed down Zhou Xiu's impetuous mood.

That evening, the storm was storm, the rocks collapsed, mud and water mixed with broken grass leaves and branches poured down. Zhou Xiu, who was halfway up the mountain, walked across a narrow path along the cliff, and came to hide from the rain under a raised rock.

The world ahead is vast and clear, as grand as a landscape painting, making people feel the power of nature.

The sudden rain comes and goes quickly, and it quickly becomes drizzling.

Zhou Xiu left the rocks that were hiding from the rain and walked down the cliff on the steep rocks. When the sound of the turbulent water flowing in the mountain stream came from ahead, he saw a huge cave.

This is the southwestern part of H Province, at the mouth of Xiling Gorges, the Yangtze River facing the collapse of the Yangtze River.

This is a typical karst landform. The cave runs across seven peaks, and the strata caves are crisscrossed and crisscrossed. The cave not only brings together stalactites developed and grown in different geological times, but also the underground river along with the Yangtze River.

It is precisely because the situation inside the cave is complex and changeable, and the mountain road itself is steep and rugged, and the development is too difficult, so the original ecological appearance can be preserved today when tourism development is being carried out nationwide.

Zhou Xiu had several ups and downs on the edge of the cave.

The cave is dark and deep, and the water falling from the mountain pours into the stream inside the cave, making a clamor.

Without much hesitation, Zhou Xiu entered with the mine lamp.

He walked inward along the rock wall. Due to the rain, the cave was very humid, the road was rugged, and the ground and rock walls were covered with slippery moss.

Not to mention this, as the roads in the cave gradually deepened, the roads in the cave became steeper and narrower, with the narrowest place being less than 5 cm;

Behind him was the turbulent underground river. The river water hit the rock walls on both sides, making a "slap" sound. This underground cave that was unable to see its fingers seemed particularly gloomy and terrifying.

However, all this was nothing to Zhou Xiu.

He has seen many more terrifying places than this, and during this period he was also attacked by various poisonous insects and monsters. In comparison, a mere cave has been considered a smooth road.

Zhou Xiu moved forward all the way, and encountered those places that he really couldn't get past, and flew directly over the rock wall.

The water flow of the underground river became more and more fierce, and the stalactites hanging upside down on the top of the cave became more and more strange. Occasionally, strange creatures similar to bats would fly out from the top of the cave.

Suddenly, something strange flashed in the light, hanging from the top of the cave like a stalactite.

Zhou Xiu jumped over and stood below and observed carefully.

This is a fossil flower, only ten centimeters tall, with three curly zigzag leaves, green and green, and at first glance, they look like loofah seeds. It may have been formed after a volcanic eruption, mudslide and other natural disasters tens of thousands of years ago, and it is formed after it was buried, isolated and oxidized. It also perfectly maintained its form before its death.

After observing for a while, Zhou Xiu said in surprise: "Isn't this Tiansha grass?"

In order to prevent mistakes, Zhou Xiu jumped up and broke off the fossil flower on the top of the cave, put it in the palm of his hand and looked carefully, "It's really a fossil of Tiansha Grass, how is this possible?"

Zhou Xiu felt unbelievable!

Tiansha grass is one of the main medicines used to refine foundation building pills and is very precious. When he was in the Jiuzhou Continent, he did a lot of preparations to impact foundation building, including collecting Tiansha grass.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find Tiansha grass until I smuggled to the earth.

He never expected that he would find a fossil of Tiansha grass on Earth.

It seems Shi Ling is right. The Jiuzhou Continent in ancient times is probably really part of the earth.

Zhou Xiu looked at the fossil in his hand, shook his head and sighed, leaving it in his bag as a souvenir.

Keep moving forward.

The underground river began to turn, but the terrain of the cave suddenly became wide.

Zhou Xiu walked forward along the air that seemed to be present and not present in the air.

The cave is winding and winding, and it is biting in this midsummer season.

Finally, a cliff in front of me appeared like a patio, with several huge stalactites hanging in the middle, crystal clear, like upside-down bamboo shoots, particularly beautiful.

Zhou Xiu had just walked into here and asked about a special smell between his nose. He quickly showed a shocked look on his face, "This... is this spiritual energy?"

Nearly two months after leaving the Jiuzhou Continent, Zhou Xiu "smelled" the smell of spiritual energy for the first time, and his soul trembled with excitement.

In the Jiuzhou Continent, spiritual energy is as ordinary as the air in this world, and he never felt it was very precious.

However, it was less than two months since he left the Jiuzhou Continent. Now he suddenly missed spiritual energy and sometimes even dreamed of spiritual energy.

Without having time to think too much, Zhou Xiu jumped straight from the cave entrance with a gap of seven or eight meters and rushed towards the spiritual energy.

However, as soon as he arrived at the source of spiritual energy, Zhou Xiu's excitement quickly became cold.

It is not spiritual energy, but a "ten thousand-year-old ground milk" formed by dripping from the stalactite liquid above emits a smell, which is three-point similar to spiritual energy.

Of course, this kind of ten thousand years of earthly milk is very different from the ten thousand years of spirit milk. It has not been nourished and baptized by spiritual energy, nor is it the essence of the dragon vein, but it is just a spring water containing the essence of the earth.

Zhou Xiu showed disappointment on his face.

However, it is also the earth essence and spring water, and the effect is definitely more than one level stronger than the artificially refined Qi Recovery Pill.

Zhou Xiu took out a special glass bottle from his bag and started to collect it.

The spiritual milk in the stone pit is about one kilogram, and his bottle can only hold 500 grams.

I felt a pity in my heart, so I had to give up and planned to leave it for me to come and pick it up in the future.

At this moment, he missed the Qiankun Bag again.

But at this moment, the mutation burst, and the ground milk in the groove suddenly flew into the air as if it was pulled by some qi, and then disappeared out of thin air with a "whim" sound, without a drop left!

"Hey, what's going on at this time?" Zhou Xiu searched everywhere in surprise, but then found nothing.

There was no sound in the cave except for the subtle sound of air flow.

Zhou Xiu frowned and pondered for a moment, and soon thought of something, and his mind sank into the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness.

After not seeing each other for a month, the purple stone that was originally a little bigger than a quail egg now grows to the size of an egg. Although the speed of absorbing true energy has not changed, the volume naturally becomes more due to the increase in volume.

Zhou Xiu always felt worried that once he stopped practicing one day, he would be sucked into a human and fucked by this stone.

Putting aside these distracting thoughts, Zhou Xiu was shocked to find that the remaining ground milk in the groove was really absorbed by this stone that had become a sperm, and now it is tightly absorbed around the purple stone like water mist.

"You broken stone, this is something I have worked hard to find. Why don't you take it without suing it?" Zhou Xiu vented a few depressed words, and knew that he had no choice but to deal with the other party.

Exit the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness and quickly pack the glass bottle containing the ground milk to prevent it from being sucked away by the stone.

After leaving reluctantly, Zhou Xiu continued to search carefully in the cave, but unfortunately he never found anything again.

After coming out of the cave, it was dawn outside, and the air was filled with the fragrance of soil.

Zhou Xiu identified the direction and rushed towards the small town in the southwest.

...

...

I just walk around like this, sometimes spending nights in the hotel, and sometimes meditating in the dense forest with beautiful mountains and rivers.

Apart from what was found in the cave, there were no other new discoveries.

The passion that Zhou Xiu ignited quickly became cold.

Half a month later, he arrived at Yuanshan County, the junction of Hunan, Hubei and Sichuan provinces.

Yuanshan County has a dangerous terrain and is an important military base in ancient times. The county has overlapping mountains, rugged rocks, and magical skills.

Because of this, local tourism and culture are prevalent, and now it is the summer vacation, and there are crowds of people all the way along the way.

Zhou Xiu, who was carrying a backpack and a baseball cap, also followed the crowd.

However, he was not going to take a bus up the mountain to experience the artificially developed tourism projects, but he happened to be taken here by self-driving tourists on the road.

Since he came, he was at peace. He did not rush to leave, but instead walked around the foot of the mountain.

Most of the products sold here are travel supplies, such as hats, glasses, parasols, UV-proof clothing, etc., as well as various children's toys.

Avoiding these popular sales sites, Zhou Xiu came to the small street in the south, where there were handicrafts, local specialties, stone carvings and antique jade shops.

Since the last time he discovered the magic weapon mirror in an antique shop, Zhou Xiu basically went around the local antique shop every time he went to.

However, so far, no second magic weapon has been found.

Zhou Xiu went around the antique shop and found nothing as before.

After leaving the shop, Zhou Xiu put on a turret and looked at the east side of the thin and long street. The scorching light shone through the sparse willow leaves on the road, forming spots of light alternating light;

There were not many tourists on the road, and the stalls gathered in groups of three or three under the old willow tree, waiting listlessly for the business to come, looking quiet and peaceful in the small town.
