36: Polygonum multiflorum and Polygonum multiflorum

The "Mystic Spirit Body Tempering Art" requires absorbing the Xuan Ling Qi from spiritual plants, and the amount of spiritual plants needed is extremely large, which is a resource difficult for ordinary Cultivators to obtain.

Cultivation itself requires a lot of Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills, so if all the spiritual plants were used to Cultivate Body Refining Cultivation Technique, the progress of Cultivation would be greatly slowed down.

Lin Yongmao even tried it; even the spirit gathering grass eaten by Spirit Beasts could be refined into Xuan Ling Qi through the "Mystic Spirit Body Tempering Art."

It seems that as long as it is a plant spiritual plant, it can be consumed and then refined.

"Fortunately, the current scale of the spirit field is relatively large; otherwise, it would truly be unaffordable."

Lin Yongmao thought, it seems that the scope of the spirit field still needs to be further expanded.

It was truly wise to choose Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff as his Immortal Cave base back then; it lacks everything except for a vast area that can be developed.

...

Qingyang Mountain Range.

Outskirts.

After killing some Tusked Boar, the Lin Family Hunting Squad led by Lin Yucheng continued to advance deeper into the Qingyang Mountain Range.

They tried their best to conceal the bloody smell on their bodies, as these are the Law of jungle survival; once the bloody smell spreads, it might attract more powerful Yao Beasts.

Lin Yongrong followed behind the team, thinking that this was not the way to go.

His Opportunity could not come, and even if there was any Opportunity, those in front would get it first; it could not belong to him alone.

Although he was a hothead, he was greedy!

However, he did not dare to Cultivate alone in the Qingyang Mountain Range; putting aside other things, simply not knowing the way was a fatal weakness.

The terrain in the Qingyang Mountain Range is rugged, and the jungle is dense; even a Cultivator can get lost if he is not careful.

If one accidentally enters the interior of the Qingyang Mountain Range, he would become food for high-level Yao Beasts.

As they continued to advance, they encountered more and more types of Yao Beasts, but most of them were let go.

As a highly experienced Hunting Demon Team captain, Lin Yucheng mastered the timing of his moves perfectly.

Because Lin Yongrong was there, he also explained from time to time:

"The Yao Beasts we want to kill either have practical value for us or are those that reproduce very quickly; otherwise, try not to act rashly."

Lin Yongrong asked in confusion, "I can understand Yao Beasts with practical value, but why do we have to kill Yao Beasts that reproduce quickly?"

"This place is relatively close to Cloud Mist Mountain, and we do this to prevent groups of Yao Beasts from entering the Cloud Mist Mountain area. The more Yao Beasts there are, the more difficult it will be to deal with when a beast tide breaks out."

Lin Yucheng explained.

Lin Yongrong nodded thoughtfully.

"Slow down, there's a Spiritual Plant ahead."

Suddenly, Lin Yucheng directed everyone to stop. In his line of sight, there was a towering tree not far away, and this tree was already covered with dense vines.

These vines were precisely the vines of Polygonum multiflorum.

If such dense Polygonum multiflorum vines could grow, the age of this Polygonum multiflorum would not be too low.

"This is at least a hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum."

"Captain, you learned this skill of identifying Spirit Medicine from your wife, didn't you?"

Immediately, some Lin Family Cultivators around joked.

Lin Yucheng smiled awkwardly and said, "I told all of you to read the "Elementary Spiritual Plant Compendium"; even such basic Spirit Medicine takes a long time to identify."

"Don't rush to dig it up yet; I'm worried there might be Yao Beasts guarding it nearby. We need to make sure there's no danger before we act."

Lin Yucheng knew very well that most of the wild spiritual plants and Spirit Medicine in the wild were guarded by Yao Beasts; the Yao Beasts regarded these wild spiritual plants and Spirit Medicine as their own property.

After observing for more than ten minutes, he finally discovered a clue.

"There is a first-order Yao Beast, a Pouch Rat, here. It is said that Pouch Rats have keen sensory abilities, which can be used for treasure hunting. If we can capture it alive, both it and the hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum are extremely valuable."

A small white-furred rat timidly poked its head out of a hole. Its hole was built in a tree hollow on the trunk of that large tree.

"This Pouch Rat's attack ability is not strong and will not threaten us. The key is not to let this Pouch Rat escape. Everyone, surround this area."

Everyone spread out according to Lin Yucheng's request, each responsible for a direction, encircling the area of the large tree.

Seemingly sensing danger, the Pouch Rat became somewhat agitated, whimpering uneasily.

"Move!"

Lin Yucheng shouted, and everyone began to narrow the encirclement, surrounding the Pouch Rat along with its hole.

The Pouch Rat scurried up and down, climbing to the top of the tree, but was forced down by the Lin Family Cultivator who had already climbed to the top of the tree.

The Pouch Rat tried to burrow into its hole again, but Lin Yucheng quickly sealed the entrance with spiritual power.

Just when everyone thought victory was assured, Lin Yongrong suddenly stumbled, and the stone under his foot loosened, making a sound.

The Pouch Rat was startled and rushed out from the direction he was responsible for.

Lin Yucheng said in a deep voice, "Yongrong, what are you doing!"

Lin Yongrong's Face was flushed, and he was at a loss.

The Pouch Rat was extremely fast, disappearing into the nearby bushes in the blink of an eye.

Lin Yucheng stamped his foot in anger, pointing at Lin Yongrong and saying, "You hothead, you've ruined a major matter! We definitely won't get the hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum now. Once the Pouch Rat runs away, it will definitely attract other Yao Beasts. We must evacuate immediately."

Everyone could only reluctantly give up on the Polygonum multiflorum and, under Lin Yucheng's leadership, quickly left the area.

Lin Yongrong lowered his head, secretly hating himself.

He didn't expect that not only did he not have the Opportunity to show his skills, but he also caused such trouble, which made him lose Face completely.

Finally, he clenched his fist and said to Lin Yucheng, "Fourth Uncle, since I let the Pouch Rat escape, I will go and catch it back. You all wait for me."

With that, without waiting for Lin Yucheng's response, he had already set off quickly towards the place where the Pouch Rat had just left.

"Come back!" Lin Yucheng shouted, but Yongrong couldn't hear him.

"Captain, this Lin Yongrong is simply here to harm us! The Pouch Rat has a certain level of intelligence and will definitely attract a large number of Yao Beasts. We can't even stay here, let alone follow the Pouch Rat."

Lin Yucheng said, "You all evacuate first. I must follow Lin Yongrong; after all, he was brought by me. If he dies in the Qingyang Mountain Range, I won't be able to explain it to the Clan Chief."

"But, Captain, this is too dangerous! What if you encounter a second-order Yao Beast on the way?" Lin Jing tried to stop him.

"Lin Jing, don't worry about this. You lead everyone to evacuate first! Wait for us in a safe area. I'm afraid if we delay any longer, we won't be able to find Lin Yongrong." Lin Yucheng said helplessly.
