Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 542 Andrographis paniculata

After driving away Monk Daoyuan, Chen Yun discussed with Niu Dali and prepared to go to Maolan Mountain immediately.

Chen Yun was under a lot of time pressure.

He still had some fantasies about the golden axe and the golden scissors.

After completing the exploration of Maolan Mountain, I headed to the basin with Yan Feng.

It took several days to search for the Lingxiao Baiyun Flower and the Xingchen Tianyuan Fruit.

After that, it took another three or four days to refine the image of the primordial spirit.

Including the journey back from the exploration, Chen Yun estimated that he would have to complete the exploration of Maolan Mountain within seven months.

"Now I have obtained the Nine-turn Iron, the True Dragon's Saliva, the Sky-high White Cloud Flower, and the Starry Sky Origin Fruit."

As Chen Yun turned into golden light and flew rapidly, he secretly calculated what he still lacked. "First of all, in terms of refining equipment, I still lack six natural treasures, namely Xuanming Fairy Sand, Vermillion Bird Fire Essence, Chongming Bird Wings, Morning Glow Qi, Cold Evil Essence and Taibai Yuan."

"As for the Spiritual Transformation Soup, it lacks a bit too many spiritual roots of heaven and earth. For now, it is still short of eight kinds."

Chen Yun silently recited the names of the eight kinds of spiritual roots of heaven and earth, "Forget-Sorrow Soul-Destroying Grass, Soul-Returning Red Fruit, Blood Python Branch, Heavenly Cicada Spirit Leaf, Earth Core Tempering Earth Milk, Seven Illusion Green Spirit Water, Andrographis paniculata, and Ninth-grade Purple Ganoderma."

Thinking of this, Chen Yun sent a message to Niu Dali, who had transformed into a stream of light, beside him, "Niu Dasheng, you said before that Maolan Mountain has Andrographis paniculata, Nine-grade Purple Ganoderma, and Blood Python Branch. Are any of them close to the entrance?"

Niu Dali asked back, "Master Chen, please forgive my rudeness, but I dare to ask, how many spiritual roots and natural treasures do you need in total? If you tell me everything, maybe I can plan a reasonable exploration route based on my past experience."

There is nothing wrong with saying that you need some rare treasures or spiritual roots of heaven and earth.

Anyway, Niu Dali doesn’t have the core purple-gold gourd and pill formula.

Chen Yun told Niu Dali everything he needed.

Hearing this, Niu Dali did not answer immediately, as if he was recalling something.

Chen Yun did not rush to urge him, but waited quietly for the other party's answer.

After a moment, Niu Dali sent a thought, "I have heard of those heavenly and earthly spiritual roots you mentioned, except for the Huiling Red Fruit. As for those heavenly materials and earthly treasures, I really have no impression of three of them."

Chen Yun asked: "Which three?"

Niu Dali said: "The fire essence of the Vermillion Bird, the wings of the Chongming Bird, and the Qi of the morning glow."

Chen Yun was not surprised to hear these three names.

Vermillion Bird Fire Spirit, as the name suggests.

Requires the essence of the Suzaku Flame.

Only the sacred bird Vermillion Bird has it.

The same is true for the wings of the Chongming bird.

You also need to find the divine bird Chongming Bird.

In fact, Chen Yun was not too worried about not being able to find these two rare treasures.

Because he had heard Yan Feng say before that there were spiritual beasts that were descendants of the Vermillion Bird and the Double-headed Bird guarding the golden scissors and golden axe over there in the basin.

He felt that although these two spirit beasts were descendants of divine birds, there was still a probability that they would give birth to the essence of the Vermillion Bird and the wings of the Chongming Bird.

Therefore, he planned to go to the basin with Yan Feng, not just for the golden scissors and the golden axe.

Another reason is that if these two natural treasures cannot be collected in Maolan Mountain, they will have to try their luck with the descendants of Vermillion Bird and Chongming Bird.

As for the morning glow.

To be honest, Chen Yun has no idea at all so far.

The only thing he knew was that the morning glow energy was related to the sunrise.

It may be born in the land of the rising sun, and nothing else is known.

Let’s talk about this later.

There is nothing that can be done if we cannot gather all the rare materials and treasures needed to refine the purple-gold gourd magic weapon.

Now that Chen Yun has obtained the extremely powerful magic weapon "Thousands of Lights", his "obsession" with the purple-gold gourd is not that deep.

The last one is the Huiling Red Fruit. Although Niu Dali has no impression of this thing, Chen Yun knows the characteristics of the place where it grows.

Usually in hotter places.

Relatively speaking, it is easier to find.

Even if Maolan Mountain doesn’t have it, there are still several places that can give you “hope”.

Chen Yun thought about it and asked, "What about the remaining spiritual roots of heaven and earth, or natural treasures, which ones are closer to the entrance?"

Niu Dali responded quickly: "Andrographis grows at the intersection of Maolan Mountain and Sun and Moon Spring. I remember there was a pond there, surrounded by some spiritual beasts with the strength of a leader, and Andrographis grew in that pond."

A spiritual beast at the leader level is not worth mentioning for Chen Yun’s current cultivation level.

It can be said that as long as you can find a place and obtain Andrographis paniculata, it will be a sure thing.

Niu Dali was still talking, "The second relatively easy-to-obtain treasure is Taibai Yuan. It may be born in the western sky where the spiritual storm of Maolan Mountain is relatively dense. However, there may be a spiritual beast with the strength of the middle stage of the human fairyland guarding it. Well, the middle stage of the human fairyland is more troublesome for me, but Master Chen's cultivation is all-encompassing, so it should be easy to solve it."

Although this was the case, Chen Yun still said modestly: "Great Sage Niu, thank you for your praise."

Afterwards, the two of them planned a rough route while they were on their way.

This route may not only contain the treasures that Chen Yun needs, but also what Niu Dali needs.

According to the itinerary, if nothing unexpected happens, the two of them should be able to explore Maolan Mountain in one to two months. Chen Yun was quite satisfied with this.

If the exploration is completed in one to two months.

Collect the spiritual roots and natural treasures that you need.

Then maybe I will have enough time to collect other treasures that are not available in Maolan Mountain, and practice at the same time.

……

Maolan Mountain is quite far away from the Sun and Moon Springs.

It took Chen Yun and Niu Dali almost two days of flying to arrive.

This is an extremely huge sacred mountain.

There was a whooshing wind all around.

The strong winds here are different from those anywhere else in Sun Moon Lake.

Chen Yun could clearly see that those gusts of wind contained countless spiritual "light spots".

A little spiritual energy is not scary.

A palm-sized wind flow area contains hundreds of billions of spiritual energy "light spots", which is very scary.

He had enough reason to believe that if a cultivator who had not yet attained immortality, even a person who practiced physical cultivation, was blown by such a strong wind once, his skin would at least be torn into pieces. If he was blown continuously, he might even be destroyed both physically and spiritually.

Chen Yun stood on the bare dirt at the foot of the mountain and asked curiously, "Great Sage Niu, are these strong winds the spiritual energy storms?"

Niu Dali took a glance and said with a smile: "It can't even be called a spiritual energy turbulence, how can it be a spiritual energy storm?"

Chen Yun was quite surprised and said, "Such a fierce wind is not even considered a spiritual energy turbulence? How fierce is the spiritual energy storm?"

Niu Dali explained with a smile: "Master Chen, you only need to remember one thing, the spiritual energy turbulence may cause harm to the immortal's body, and if the immortal does not release the immortal energy to resist the spiritual energy storm, it is possible that the immortal will perish or even be swept away by the storm. Then you can distinguish what is spiritual energy turbulence or spiritual energy storm. Although these strong winds mixed with spiritual energy in front of you look fierce, they are mainly composed of 'wind', not spiritual energy, so they cannot be considered spiritual energy turbulence, let alone spiritual energy storm."

Chen Yun understood a little, "You mean, whether it is spiritual energy turbulence or spiritual energy storm, its main component is spiritual energy, not other 'forces' or 'matter'."

"That's right." Niu Dali nodded slightly and pointed to the west. "I remember that Andrographis is in that direction. Master Chen, shall we go get the Andrographis first and then officially enter Maolan Mountain?"

Chen Yun said: "Good, thank you Great Sage for leading the way."

Niu Dali walked forward and said generously: "Master Chen, you and I have known each other for decades. There is no need to be so distant. You can just call me Old Niu on weekdays."

Chen Yun responded, "Okay, Lao Niu."

The two of them seemed to be walking forward leisurely.

In fact, every step you take is like shrinking the distance into an inch.

In just three or five steps, Chen Yun and Niu Dali had arrived at the pond four or five miles away.

The winds here are also very strong.

There was no vegetation growing in the surrounding soil.

On the contrary, in the pond, you can see a little green here and there.

There are also some seemingly powerful fish and shrimp-like spirit beasts lurking among them.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Niu Dali released the aura of a demon fairy as soon as he arrived here.

The next moment, the fish, shrimps and spiritual beasts lurking in the pond fled away in terror.

Chen Yun looked towards the pond and saw a row of lotus leaves in the center that looked very similar to ordinary lotus leaves.

The only difference between these lotus leaves and ordinary lotus leaves is that their edges are all "inlaid with gold", giving them a golden color.

Most of the lotus leaves had no lotus flowers growing in them, and some even had broken leaves.

There were only three or four lotus leaves with a few strange lotus buds of a mixture of gold and red.

Niu Dali pointed at the three or four lotus flowers and said, "Master Chen, take a look at these. Are they Andrographis paniculata?"

Chen Yun nodded slightly and said, "It is indeed Andrographis paniculata. Brother Niu, please wait a moment. I will be back after I get the lotus."

As he spoke, a small copper stove appeared in his palm and floated towards the center of the pond.

There are no particular requirements for picking Andrographis paniculata, but after picking it, it must be sealed and preserved in special spiritual water within a very short period of time, otherwise it will rot immediately.

Chen Yun didn't have time to prepare spiritual water, nor was there any need to do so.

After all, the secret compartment of the small copper stove can preserve the quality and freshness of the food.

The dried meat from decades ago has not deteriorated yet.

There would be no problem if you put Andrographis in there.

Soon, he picked three or four Andrographis paniculata flowers and put them into the secret compartment of the small copper furnace.

Perhaps it was because the guardian spirit beasts here were relatively weak, and they did not encounter any resistance during the period.

After picking the fruits, Chen Yun returned to the shore and felt that it was really easy.

This is not my first time to visit Sun Moon Lake Dongtian.

It has never been so easy to pick spiritual roots of heaven and earth in the past.

This gave him a feeling that it was effortless.
