Chapter 4 - 4. New Talent: Immortal Wisdom

 The next morning.

  The cold wind in the mountains was a bit biting.

  Zhou Shan, walking on the mountain road, looked at Li Ru, who was carrying a medicine basket and searching for spiritual medicine carefully behind him, and felt a little uncomfortable.

  However, as he left the camp several miles away, he did not dare to be careless, and concentrated his mind to explore in front.

  Because he was a physical cultivator, he was not as good as Li Ru in terms of spiritual awareness.

  He was not as accurate as Li Ru in capturing the scent of spiritual medicine.

  In the medicine basket, Zhou Ling's pair of white and tender hands grasped the bamboo strips, looking calm and relaxed.

  [Searching the Mountain for Treasures] and [Crisis Response] are a perfect match in this barren mountain.

  With the activation of the [Searching the Mountain for Treasures] talent, Zhou Ling got up early in the morning and tried it a little. Now he can roughly feel the scent of spiritual medicine within a range of three or four feet around.

  When he walked to a certain valley, Zhou Ling suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

  "Mojing Grass!"

  He sniffed and felt the scent of a Mojing Grass of a relatively old age not far away.

  [Discovered Mojing Grass, Mountain Treasure Hunt +1]

  The surrounding grass was relatively lush, and neither Zhou Shan nor Li Ru discovered the existence of this spiritual grass.

  "Mom, I want to pee!"

  Zhou Ling suddenly had an idea and cried.

  If he told his mother directly that he had found the Mojing Grass, it would be too outrageous.

  After all, he is not even one year old yet.

  Maybe his parents would suspect that he was the reincarnation of that great monk.

  Hearing Zhou Ling's cry, Li Ru hurriedly stopped. He

  turned sideways and carried Zhou Ling out.

  "Mom, I want to pee over there!"

  Zhou Ling pointed to the direction where he felt the spiritual medicine and said.

  Li Ru didn't think much about it, and smiled and carried him over.

  "Mom, Mojing Grass!"

  After walking a few steps, Zhou Ling pointed to the grass and shouted, his tone childish and excited.

  Li Ru was stunned for a moment, then followed the direction of Zhou Ling's little hand, and then shouted with surprise and joy, "It's really Mojing Grass, and it's more than six years old."

  Zhou Shan was also startled, and hurried over, leaned over, and carefully picked the spiritual grass.

  After putting it in the medicine basket on his back, he said excitedly with bright eyes, "Ling'er can also find medicine, he is worthy of being planted by my Zhou family!"

  This black essence grass is of good age and quality, and can be sold for forty or fifty broken spirits.

  "What do you mean by looking for medicine? My son wanted to pee and found it by accident!"

  Li Ru rolled his eyes at him, quickly put Zhou Ling down, and untied his belt.

  But Zhou Ling peed for a while and only peed a little bit.

  Li Ru hurriedly put his pants on him, and couldn't help laughing, "It seems that my son is really lucky. He can find spiritual medicine just by walking around."

  "After returning, Dad will buy you cakes to eat!" Zhou Shan praised with a happy face.

  It feels that Zhou Ling seems to have a keener sense of the breath of spiritual medicine than ordinary people.

  Li Ru did not put him in the medicine basket for the time being, but held him, and the couple continued to move forward.

  After walking for more than ten feet, Zhou Ling found the breath of spiritual medicine again.

  However, this time Zhou Ling unexpectedly felt the breath of danger, and did not dare to remind his parents.

  Instead, he urged his mother to leave quickly.

  In this way, the family did not return to the camp until dusk.

  Both husband and wife had smiles on their faces.

  Today, we went south and got much better than yesterday.

  Although we did not find the target spiritual medicine Xuanling grass, we were lucky.

  We found two first-level low-grade purple-veined grass, which can be worth two low-grade spiritual stones.

  Together with other spiritual medicines, the harvest of this trip is more than three low-grade spiritual stones.

  "Ling'er seems to have a sense of smell far beyond that of ordinary children. He can easily smell the scent of spiritual medicine!"

  "What kind of talent is this?"

  Zhou Shan said with joy and surprise while chewing beef jerky.     "Maybe he grew up among herbs, so he's a little special!"

  Li Ru stirred the spiritual porridge in the pottery bowl, her eyes full of smiles.

  She earned six low-grade spiritual stones in two days, which is a great harvest.

  In the past few months, Zhou Shan went into the mountains once, and at most earned ten spiritual stones each time.

  Excluding six spiritual stones for rent, the rest was barely enough to buy spiritual rice.

  It takes half a month to eat spiritual beast meat.

  Of course, the harvest is one aspect, but what makes her happiest is that she feels that her son's talent seems to be very extraordinary.

  With such a talent, he will have a great advantage in entering the Taoist Academy in the future.

  Of course, Zhou Ling's talent is also secretly guessed by the couple, and they have no idea whether it is true or not.

  But no matter what, this is enough to make them happy.

  After feeding Zhou Ling, she picked up the dry food and ate it.

  ·······.

  Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

  As the weather gradually turned colder, Li Ru was worried that Zhou Ling would be cold, so she went back early.

  Although it was only twelve days in the mountains this time, the harvest was one or two times more than before.

  It was a great harvest.

  Although there were no first-grade middle-grade spiritual medicines, one or two first-grade low-grade spiritual medicines could be harvested almost every day.

  Roughly speaking, he could earn 20 to 30 spiritual stones.

  Zhou Ling was also quite skeptical. He didn't know whether it was because this area was outside the black haze and the spiritual medicine grade itself was not high.

  Or maybe his current [Search the Mountain for Treasures] talent could only find first-grade low-grade spiritual medicines.

  [Search the Mountain for Treasures! ]

  [Effect: You identify spiritual medicine treasures 50/100]

  Looking at the prompts on the panel, Zhou Ling knew that the [Search the Mountain for Treasures] talent would only be improved if there were more than 100 spiritual medicine treasures to be identified.

  Zhou Shan was also very happy, and he smiled from time to time and said, "My son brought me good luck."

  Not to mention that the harvest doubled or tripled, it was rare that he didn't encounter a demon beast in twelve days.

  In his opinion, this was the luck his son brought him.

  When he came back, his whole state was completely different from the last time.

  Although he was tired, he talked and laughed, and there was no sense of boredom.

  ·······.

  More than half a year has passed, and Zhou Ling is almost one and a half years old.

  He can now run fast, and his height has grown a lot.

  He is now level with the medicine basket.

  His physique has also become mediocre (1200/10000).

  This is mainly due to the sufficient nutrition provided by Li Ru and the changes brought about by the physique evolution talent.

  This physique is no different from that of an ordinary child.

  However, his comprehension has improved limitedly, comprehension (mediocre 8/100).

  In the past year, he has only increased his comprehension value by 7 points.

  This is not because he does not want to improve.

  To improve comprehension, the [More courageous after setbacks] talent must react.

  And these days, under Li Ru's careful care, he has been living a good life.

  "Ruru, this is the Taoist Academy's enlightenment cultivation book. It contains some cultivation texts and terms. You can teach Ling'er from time to time."

  "I want to let Ling'er take the Taoist Academy's spiritual root test at the end of the year."

  In the hall, Zhou Shan handed a hardcover book to Li Ru and said with a smile.

  These days, under Li Ru's guidance, Zhou Ling also learned a lot of fonts in this realm.

  [Growth Talent, Immortal Wisdom: Can improve cultivation speed and comprehension, to achieve the requirement: Read fifty ancient books.]
