Chapter 19: No berries

The evening breeze in the mountains brings a thick fragrance of flowers, and the mist like light smoke weaves into the dark green forest.

Although the sky has become obviously dark, it has little impact on He Yiming and Xie Nuanyi. With their strength, even if the sky is completely dark, they can still see the surrounding environment with a little starlight.

An hour later, Xie Nuanyi, who was leading the way, finally stopped. He pointed to a huge tree and said, "We're here."

He Yiming murmured in his heart that when the middle-aged uncle explained to Xie Mingjin and others, he only said that he would return soon. But he rushed along the way and took an hour to reach the long-armed raccoon nest. If he had time to go back, he would never be able to think of it soon.

He shook his head slightly, but since he had arrived here, there was nothing to complain about.

"Mr. Xie, why are you here? Are there any treasures here?" He Yiming asked casually with a smile.

Xie Nuanyi said seriously: "It's hard to say whether there is a baby or not, but when I came here, I thought of a passage from the Chinese medicine book at home, so I came to verify it."

He Yiming was curious, but since the other party was talking about the inheritance of medical books, he was embarrassed to ask again.

Xie Nuanyi came under the big tree, jumped gently, and immediately climbed up like a monkey. After a while, his surprise voice came: "Brother He, come up quickly, we have found something good."

He Yiming was slightly stunned and tightened the rattan with the Daguan knife tied to the body.

These vines are specially made, and they are just right for tying the big gate knife. However, climbing up the tree with such heavy things on his back made him feel quite depressed.

The internal strength was instantly injected into the body, and the strong sense of falling slowly disappeared. He Yiming then climbed up along Xie Nuanyi's original path.

When he arrived at the dense branches and leaves above his head, He Yiming suddenly saw a tree house built on a tree.

The only feature of this tree house is that it is large, with two thick branches inside, which run across the entire tree house. However, this tree house is very simple, even the thatched huts of civilians on the ground are much more beautiful than this hut.

Xie Nuanyi was behind this tree house, and his face was filled with a blush caused by excitement.

He Yiming immediately understood that he had really found a good thing, otherwise with this person's scheming, he would never have been abnormal.

A few ups and downs have arrived beside him. Looking along with his eyes, there are ten green fruits growing not far from the upper end of the big tree. Their sizes are not very big, but they are just similar to those of adult fists. However, such a green fruit makes He Yiming feel like he wants to pick them for no reason.

"Mr. Xie, what kind of fruit is this?" He Yiming asked for advice seriously.

"This is no berries. According to the medicine book, such fruits grow on ancient trees that have been more than three thousand years old." Xie Nuanyi forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart and said, "In addition to this condition, there must be spiritual beasts living on this ancient tree for a hundred years before this fruit can be born."

He Yiming glanced at the tree house beside him and immediately realized that this was the house where two long-armed raccoons lived. Unexpectedly, these two spirit beasts were so smart that they could even build a house.

"What is the use of this fruit?"

"This thing is very useful." Xie Nuanyi sighed and said, "The two long-armed raccoons have a very high level of wisdom. It was impossible to actively attack us humans, especially when there are many people. As long as you don't tease them or enter their territory, it will definitely be very safe."

He Yiming nodded to Wei'e. If it was not safe, Xie Nuanyi would not have brought her son and a few servants to the dense forest.

"Brother He, today these two long-armed raccoons suddenly appeared, and surrounded us one after another, wanting to kill us all. Why do you know why this abnormal thing?"

He Yiming's heart moved slightly and said, "Is it related to the absence of berries?"

"Yes, no berries are born from ancient trees and absorbed the breath of spirit beasts for a hundred years, so they have a very wonderful function. If the spirit beast swallows it directly, it will definitely enhance the power of the spirit beast and the spiritual energy in the body. But after taking it directly, the qi and blood will immediately boil, the temper will be irritable, and it is easy to hurt the innocent."

He Yiming nodded slowly, but he thought to himself: After swallowing the berries of the long arm, although he wanted to kill us, he did not hurt the innocent.

There is no need to say anything more if you kill the two long-armed raccoons himself, but the Xie family's idea of ​​fighting these two spirit beasts is not a day or a day. If it weren't for the lack of strength and the lack of water would not have wanted the fat to flow into the outsiders' fields, these two spirit beasts would have died a long time ago.

He vaguely felt that perhaps it was because the long-armed raccoon recognized Xie Nuanyi and others that he came to the door after swallowing the berries. However, his appearance was an accident, but it was precisely because of this accident that the two long-armed raccoons were killed on the spot.

Xie Nuanyi did not notice He Yiming's expression, but continued: "In addition to improving the strength of the spirit beast, no berries also have a very important role, that is, it can be used to improve the success rate of refining the golden elixir."

He Yiming's heart suddenly moved and asked, "Mr. Xie, what is the success rate of your internal strength in refining the long-armed raccoon?"

Xie Nuanyi thought about it and said with certainty: "It was about 80% originally, but now that I have obtained these rare berries, the success rate should be increased to 90%.

He Yiming greatly relieved his heart, but sighed in his heart that it was a success rate of 90%. If grandpa knew about it, I really don’t know what he would think. However, even without the assistance of berries, the success rate of 80% was very high. Xie Nuanyi took the initiative to refine the golden elixir, which was actually full of confidence in the accumulation of his family over the past thousand years.

Xie Nuanyi exerted a little force, and her body flew up like a floating twatt. He stretched out his hand and he picked dozens of fruits one by one.

Then, he took out two blue square cloth strips from his arms and divided the ten berries into two portions, each with as many as five.

After wrapping the two strips of cloth, Xie Nuanyi handed over and said, "Brothers, I have a share of you, and we are half of each one."

He Yiming was slightly stunned and refused: "Mr. Xie, this thing is useless to me. Since the Zun Mansion is passed down through medicine, it is better to leave it to the Zun Mansion."

Xie Nuanyi laughed and said, "Brother He, you underestimate the value of this thing too much." He curled his smile and said in a deep voice: "The value of this thing is actually not under the inner elixir of the spirit beast."

He Yiming was secretly shocked, and a trace of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

Xie Nuanyi observed his expression and naturally understood his psychology, and smiled and said, "Brother He, the greatest function of no berries is not to increase the success rate when the long-arm raccoon internal strength is used to refine the golden elixir."

He Yiming had an idea and said in surprise: "Can the inner elixirs of other spirit beasts also use this object to increase the success rate when refining the golden elixir?"

"Yes." Xie Nuanyi was very satisfied with He Yiming's reaction and said, "It is not so easy to refine the inner alchemy of the spirit beast into a golden elixir that can be surrendered by the practitioners. It is not very difficult to refine the inner alchemy of the spirit beast under 500 years. Even after thousands of years of exploration, our family can have an 80% success rate. However, the inner alchemy of the spirit beast over 500 years is not only extremely precious, but also the success rate of the refining is pitifully low. Even if a strong man with an innate realm is willing to take action to refine it, the success rate will not be too high. But if no berries are added, the success rate can be directly increased to more than 70%.

He Yiming gasped and said, "Mr. Xie, didn't you say before that this thing can only increase the possibility of success by 10%?"

Xie Nuanyi laughed and said, "Brother He, no one can guarantee you that you can succeed 100%. We are already 80% sure, even if you add berries, it is a little safer. For those golden elixirs that have little success rate, the effect of berries is unimaginable."

Only then did He Yiming realize that this time he did not refuse, but carefully put the berries in his arms.

The two looked around again, but there were no other berries on the big tree.

However, just these ten fruits were already an unexpected harvest, and the one-hour journey made both of them feel that the trip was worthwhile.

After getting off the big tree, Xie Nuanyi looked up at the sky. He seemed to be familiar with everything in the forest, at least much better than He Yiming, a half-baked guy.

"Brother He, let's go back." Xie Nuanyi patted the package carefully placed on her chest and said with satisfaction: "If you don't go back, I'm afraid that the boy Mingjin will come to us all over the forest again."

He Yiming naturally had no objection. As the two of them swayed, they were already walking side by side back towards the original path.

After a while, He Yiming calculated in his mind and asked: "Mr. Xie, has the Zun Mansion refined the golden elixir of spiritual beasts for more than 500 years?"

Xie Nuanyi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother He is joking. If we really refined such a golden elixir, then the masters in the family who had already had the innate realm, how could they not be able to do anything about the two long-armed raccoons?"

He Yiming was not surprised. It was true that this was the case. He just asked casually.

"Mr. Xie, do you know where there are the whereabouts of spirit beasts over five hundred years old?"

Xie Nuanyi pondered for a long time and said, "All spiritual beasts basically grow in rarely visited places. I have only heard of spiritual beasts for more than 500 years, but I have never seen them. However, it is said that there should be many spiritual beasts of this level in several forbidden areas of the Dashen Kingdom."

"Da Shen Kingdom?" He Yiming also smiled bitterly. This sentence is vain.

For many small countries that live in the northwest of the mainland, the Dashen Kingdom, which is located in the east of the mainland and accounts for nearly one-fifth of the land in the entire continent, is so out of reach.

At least, He Yiming never thought that his trip would go to Dashen Country.

The short three years I agreed with my grandfather, I am afraid that even a round trip may not be enough.

Xie Nuanyi certainly understood his thoughts. He smiled and said, "Brother He, whether you can encounter spirit beasts that have been more than five hundred years old depends on your personal luck. If you are not lucky, even if you travel thousands of miles and arrive in Dashen, you will not be able to obtain the spirit beast inner pill. But if you are lucky, you can meet the spirit beast you want in this mountain forest."

He Yiming asked, "There will be five hundred years of spiritual beasts in this mountain forest?"

Xie Nuanyi reached out and drew a big circle, saying, "This mountain range is endless, running through the entire northwest corridor of the continent. From our Huowu to your Tianluo, it is only a very small part. Throughout the ages, no one has been able to travel all over this mountain range. No one knows what it looks like at the source of the mountain range. There is definitely a real rare trip there. Even if there is a five hundred-year-old spiritual beast, it is not a strange thing."

He Yiming nodded slowly, with a bright light flashing in his eyes.

Xie Nuanyi glanced at He Yiming while running, sighed suddenly, and said, "Actually, even if you can encounter a spirit beast that has been around for five hundred years, you don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing."

"Mr. Xie, why do you say that?" He Yiming asked in confusion.

"The longer the spirit beasts live, the higher their spiritual intelligence will be, and their strength will naturally increase. Long-armed Raccoon is the guy at the bottom of all spirit beasts. He has just survived for about two hundred years and has already possessed such strong strength. If he encounters other powerful spirit beasts, or spirit beasts that have survived for more than five hundred years, I'm afraid that even if he wants to escape, it will be very difficult." Xie Nuanyi's words were not fast, and there was a hint of persuasion, which was clearly dissuading He Yiming to dispel this terrible idea.

Seeing the sincere expression in Xie Nuanyi's eyes, He Yiming smiled slightly, and passed the battle just now, but unexpectedly thought of another way to advance.

When he fought with the strong, his mind was completely relaxed, and when he took action, he felt even more refreshed. Only in this case did he vaguely feel the connection with the mysterious aura of the outside world.

This situation is absolutely difficult to feel by practicing behind closed doors.

So he had made up his mind to continue to search for the whereabouts of the spirit beasts in the dense forest. If he really encountered a spirit beast that had been more than five hundred years, even if he could not defeat it, he would be sure to escape with his two innate combat skills.

After fighting with all his heart, he may realize some opportunity, so that he may not be able to break through to the innate realm without taking the golden elixir.

It's just that this idea doesn't need to be shared with others.

"Mr. Xie, if I luckily found the inner elixir of the five hundred-year-old spirit beast, I wonder if the Zun Mansion can refine it on my behalf."

Seeing that his sincere advice was not adopted by the other party, Xie Nuanyi also smiled bitterly. However, after hearing He Yiming's request, he pondered for a long time, finally shook his head and said, "Sorry, the value of the five hundred-year-old spirit beast is too great. Even if you plan to ask someone to do it for yourself, at least you should find an alchemist in the innate realm to be sure to be successful in condensation."

"A alchemist in the innate realm? Is there anyone like this?" He Yiming asked in confusion.

"Yes." Xie Nuanyi said affirmatively: "Whether in Dashen or among the three most powerful countries in the northwest countries, there are alchemists with innate realms. But it is definitely a huge challenge to ask them to refine elixirs for you. Unless you get two inner elixirs and have to refine more than two golden elixirs, you have the chance to obtain one of them."

He Yiming also sighed lightly, but he was not surprised by this amazing price, but because there was such a vast world outside Taicang County.

At this point, he finally understood the true meaning of the sentence that grandpa had always been in his mouth and that he did not belong to Taicang County.

In the entire Taicang County, even if he swallowed the golden elixir, He Quanxin, who had just advanced to the tenth level of internal strength, there were only three acquired internal strength practitioners on the tenth level.

However, in a big family in Huowu, which is known for its medical heritage and not for its martial arts skills, there are three tenth-level internal strength masters.

So what about the entire Huowu Kingdom? How many such masters are there, and how many acquired peak masters with ten levels of internal strength are there in the Tianluo Kingdom.

Above these acquired masters, there are also real masters who have entered the innate realm and can comprehend the energy of heaven and earth.

With his cultivation speed, sooner or later, he will be able to successfully enter the innate world.

At that time, when he knows that there is such a wonderful world outside, how could he be willing to settle in a corner?

Grandpa had long expected that his elder brother might take over Hejiazhuang with peace of mind in one day, but that was definitely not the life he yearned for in the future.

A faint feeling arose in He Yiming's heart, and the passion in his heart seemed to boil. He wanted to go out and see, listen, and feel the whole world with his eyes, ears, and feelings.

At this moment, the two of them were walking side by side and returning to the same path.

However, at this moment, Xie Nuanyi's body suddenly slowed down for a moment. Although she rushed up later, she felt an inexplicable change in his heart.

This change comes from the young master around him.

For some reason, Xie Nuanyi felt that some strange change seemed to have occurred in He Yiming's body. This was something that could not be described in words, and it seemed to be a change in the psychological process, which seemed to have a hint of mysterious temperament on his body.

This change is so powerful that even the people around him were strongly affected.

Xie Nuanyi recalled the conversation and actions of the two just now. Apart from getting five berries, there seemed to be nothing unexpected or worthy of their hearts.

But it was not until this moment that he sensed the change in temperament coming from He Yiming.

He smiled silently in his heart. This young man is really unimaginable, but perhaps it is precisely because of this that such an almost impossible miracle happened to him and that he had such strong strength!
