Chapter 399: Fountain of Immortality

In front of Wanbao Academy, there is an open square with 42 stone pillars standing on it, each pillar has the momentum of supporting the sky.

On both sides of the square, there are lakes and grasslands with leisurely scenery, and there are also some white jade platforms scattered here and there, which are used by monks to practice magic and exchange ideas with each other.

But now that people have gone, the lakes on both sides have dried up, and the grassland has turned into a messy jungle. In other words, although the four people have seen Wanbao Academy, they are still very far away. First, they need to cross a messy jungle, and then walk straight through the square with 42 stone pillars.

Just crossing the messy jungle, without sleep, will take at least more than ten days, and this is for warriors. If it is an ordinary person, it may take several months.

This is the standard of Eryuan Sect, which is so large that it is unimaginable. Everyone did not delay and started the journey immediately. Zhang Mo still had enough food pills left, so she was not afraid of spending more time.

The weeds in this messy jungle are much taller than people. A single blade of grass grows like a big tree, which is really a wonder.

Wang Huang was curious, so he asked Li Changxiao, who he thought was knowledgeable and experienced. When he asked, Li Changxiao found out that this grass was a very rare spiritual plant called "Gathering Spirit Grass".

This spiritual plant is quite expensive and has the effect of gathering spiritual energy.

The top-level bulk companies cultivate a large amount of this spiritual grass as grass, which is really rich and powerful, which makes Li Changxiao, a casual worker who has suffered from poverty for many years, feel extremely surprised.

He remembers that he once fought with others for a piece of Gathering Spirit Grass to refine the Condensing Spirit Pill to consolidate his cultivation and foundation, and fought to the death.

In the end, the Gathering Spirit Grass was robbed by someone halfway. In a rage, he tracked the man for more than three months, rushed over and fought desperately every time, then used sleep to recover, and then continued to fight.

After going through untold hardships, he finally got that one plant.

In the end, in front of the Da Zong, it was just a blade of grass in the lawn. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment. However, the past is over, and although it is a different taste to recall it occasionally, the spiritual grass here and now is indeed different.

The lifespan of plants is generally longer than that of humans. This grass has a natural lifespan of one thousand years, and it grows every hundred years. It can be ripened. The one thousand-year-old spirit gathering grass is just up to a person's knee.

It is really strange to grow so big. Li Changxiao swept his consciousness and found that there are several spiritual grasses that are even as high as a hill. He led a few people to the tallest spiritual grasses.

It will take several days on the way. In the early morning, the water vapor is thick, and the spiritual grass condenses dew. Li Changxiao's consciousness moves, and the dew within a radius of several thousand meters condenses in his palm.

It forms a water ball taller than a person, exuding bursts of fragrance. This spirit gathering grass has the effect of gathering spiritual energy, which can make spiritual energy liquid.

If the spiritual energy had not been exhausted, this place would probably have turned into a vast ocean, and it would have been an ocean transformed by spiritual energy. Although there is no spiritual energy now, the dew of the spirit gathering grass is still very valuable and is a rare tonic.

He asked the three to collect as much as possible. As for himself, this dew has little effect on him.

Zhang Mo tasted a mouthful of dew. It was sweet and delicious, and the very comfortable energy flowed into the bones of the limbs, and she couldn't help but let out a low moan. Then she noticed Zhao Qiu's gaze, her pretty face blushed slightly and was a little embarrassed. She was not young, but she was still laughed at by the younger generation, so she couldn't help feeling annoyed.

Zhao Qiu and Wang Huang also drank it one after another, and they were all a little out of control, which made Li Changxiao laugh. However, this page soon passed, and everyone came to the tallest spirit gathering grass.

Li Changxiao was almost sure that the age of this grass was already amazing. There were four lines on the grass body. This kind of line is called the sky-defying line.

Commonly seen on flowers and plants, it is because cultivators forcibly extend the lifespan of spiritual plants for the sake of the efficacy of herbs, and this pattern will grow over time.

Now it is extinct. Today's cultivators are eager to use the lifespan of spiritual wisdom for themselves, or become spiritual plants themselves to enjoy a long lifespan, so why would they spend time prolonging the lifespan of plants?

Li Changxiao estimated that this spiritual gathering grass has a lifespan of more than 40,000 years, but sadly, this "old man" has also reached the point where his lifespan is about to run out.

Or... he can sense that most of the spiritual gathering grass here are about to run out of lifespan.

I'm afraid that in these decades, they will wither one after another, and the longest will be no more than a hundred years.

In fact, when his spiritual sense swept over a radius of several miles, many spiritual gathering grasses had already withered and turned yellow and died.

"Even if the Eryuan Sect is generous, it will not spend a lot of money to extend the spiritual gathering grass."

Li Changxiao sighed, although it is not difficult to increase the lifespan of something before the spiritual energy is exhausted. Well... it's not that it's not difficult. To be precise, the higher the cultivation level, the more ways to gain longevity there are.

Like the longevity skill, the longevity pill, and many spiritual herbs, all of which can increase lifespan.

It's just that after the spiritual energy is exhausted, there is a kind of restriction between heaven and earth. All the laws die, and the magic is gone. The methods that once increased lifespan lost their effect, and lifespan is difficult to increase, which makes lifespan extremely precious.

It can be said that... in the heyday, in ancient times.

Even if it is just a mortal, if the financial resources are strong enough, you can enjoy a long lifespan, and even live forever if the conditions are good.

Plants are naturally no exception.

Li Changxiao had a certain feeling in his heart, knowing that this place was definitely not a normal situation, so he leaned over slightly and swept the land with his spiritual sense.

This sweep, he really found something.

There was a crack deep underground, and he traced it along the crack with his spiritual sense. But the range of his spiritual sense was limited, and he could not trace it to the source in one breath, so he suggested changing the route slightly and walking to the east.

Zhang Mo and others naturally had no objection.

Li Changxiao walked along the east side, and his spiritual sense continued to explore the ground, walking along the crack deep underground. This walk lasted for more than ten days.

During this period, Zhang Mo and others were extremely extravagant and directly took the dew of the spirit gathering grass to wash.

Li Changxiao finally found the source. The crack in the ground spread from a high mountain. He walked up the mountain and found a spring at the top of the mountain.

"This is the spring of immortality."

Li Changxiao finally understood that about tens of thousands of years ago, for some reason, a crack appeared in the ground of this spring, allowing the spring water here to flow to the grassland in front of Wanbao Academy.

This caused the Gathering Spirit Grass, which originally had a lifespan of only a thousand years, to continue to increase its lifespan and grow continuously. Then, the spiritual energy dried up, and the Longevity Spring also dried up, and the lifespan of the Gathering Spirit Grass slowly ran out.

Until this moment.

"If this is the case with ordinary spiritual herbs, what about cultivators?" Li Changxiao thought.
