Lu Xiaotian rode on the back of the leopard, carrying a bulging bag. As usual, there was salt, a small iron pot, and a large bundle of rope. A month ago, Lu Xiaotian had vaguely seen a spiritual grass growing on a mountain peak far away. Although it was too far away to be collected, after experiencing this incident, Lu Xiaotian had used the loose strands of grass he had collected to make a bundle of rope, which he would bring with him whenever he went out.
The black bear was the black-robed old man's spirit beast, so he did not allow Lu Xiaotian to ride on its back. The leopard was much smaller than the black bear, but it could still trot quite fast while carrying an eleven-year-old Lu Xiaotian.
It seemed that it was completely worth it to use that Qi Gathering Pill to exchange for the grey wolf.
After passing the area he had searched before, Lu Xiaotian pondered for a moment before dismounting from the leopard's back to search on foot, so as not to miss the spiritual grass he needed.
The black-robed old man was really stingy. He did not even teach him how to identify spiritual grass. Apart from the White Fluorescent Grass used to refine the Spiritual Beast Pill, he did not teach him anything else. After searching the underbrush and shrubs along the way for nearly four hours, he did not find anything. This kind of search was also very troublesome. Lu Xiaotian could not help but feel somewhat dissatisfied with the black-robed old man. If the black-robed old man had not been so stingy, he would have been able to cultivate faster. The higher his cultivation, the more he could do for the black-robed old man.
However, these thoughts were just thoughts. Lu Xiaotian also understood that there was no such thing as a free lunch. When Lu Xiaotian first came to the valley, he regarded the black-robed old man as his pillar of support. However, after living in the valley for a period of time, Lu Xiaotian realized that he could only rely on himself. The black-robed old man had only saved him because he wanted him to deal with some trivial matters in the cave. He did not really want to teach him.
Having thought this through, Lu Xiaotian would come out to look for spiritual objects whenever the black-robed old man was not around. Even though this method of looking for a needle in a haystack was very difficult to find, it was still better than staying in the cave.
The deeper they went into the canyon, the thicker the fog became. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Xiaotian's eyesight was several times stronger than before after cultivating the Primordial Chaos Scripture, he probably wouldn't have been able to see more than two or three feet away. If they went another ten or so li into the canyon, they would only be about two zhang away. Lu Xiaotian frowned. If this continued, the efficiency of the search would be too low. It was a pity that he had cultivated the Origin Scripture. Although he had become a Qi Practitioner through the cultivation of the Origin Scripture, other than having greater strength and better eyesight, there didn't seem to be many other changes.
Could it be that Primordial Qi had no other uses? Although the black-robed old man didn't say anything, he should give it a try. With this thought, Lu Xiaotian took a deep breath and secretly circulated the Primordial Qi in his dantian to his eyes. As a sliver of Primordial Qi circulated, he suddenly felt his eyes turn white, as if they were covered by a layer of something. It was better to use the naked eye as usual. Could it be that Primordial Qi couldn't be used like this? Lu Xiaotian was alarmed. Just as he was about to withdraw the Primordial Qi, his eyes suddenly felt cool, and his vision became clear once more. Everything within a hundred zhang was incomparably clear. The fine hair on the black bear and gray wolf could be clearly seen. It was truly incomparably mystical.
So Primordial Qi really could be used like this. Lu Xiaotian immediately became happy. Not only could he see further, but the success of the experiment made him feel that even if no one taught him, he could slowly figure out how to use Primordial Qi in the future.
This was the first time Lu Xiaotian had successfully used Primordial Qi, so he was rather happy. The speed of his search was more than ten times faster than before. After two hours, he had already ventured deeper into the canyon. He completely failed to notice that his surroundings were quietly changing.
Only when the black bear threw a dead gazelle at Lu Xiaotian's feet did Lu Xiaotian shake his head and smile. If he didn't serve the black bear well, the black bear would probably throw a tantrum. If the black bear were to throw a tantrum, he really wouldn't be able to handle it.
But when he was gathering firewood, Lu Xiaotian saw a small forest in front of him, and his expression immediately changed. He had been searching in this direction earlier, and this forest had not been there.
Perhaps he had remembered wrongly, but Lu Xiaotian held onto a sliver of hope. He summoned the leopard and rode it in another direction for a while. His expression immediately became extremely unsightly. Ever since he had become a Qi Practitioner, Lu Xiaotian's memory had become much better than before. He clearly remembered that the place he had just passed was a small mound. Moreover, to the east of the mound, there was a clear stream less than five feet wide. And now, the mound and the stream had already disappeared, replaced by a dense forest.
"Let's go back and find the black bear." Lu Xiaotian patted the leopard's neck. Suddenly, he had fallen into an unfamiliar environment. Lu Xiaotian's first thought was to meet up with the black bear, so as to avoid encountering other monsters later on. With just him and the leopard, their ability to protect themselves in this complicated canyon was still insufficient.
But when Lu Xiaotian turned back and walked for one or two li, the place he had just passed turned into a white-blue sea of flowers. There was no trace of the black bear.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu Xiaotian would never have believed that things that grew on the ground could actually move. But the sight before his eyes made Lu Xiaotian feel a wave of incredulity.
"Awoo …"
A familiar howl rang out, followed by the echoes of the wild wolves. Lu Xiaotian's heart tightened. It was another pack of wolves, and there were many more of them than before.
"Let's go!" Lu Xiaotian hurriedly urged the leopard to run in other directions in small steps. Firstly, it was to conserve energy. Secondly, the terrain in front of him was surrounded by enemies from all sides, which was not conducive to defense. The black bear was also not here. Once he was surrounded by the pack of wolves, he would be in big trouble.
The leopard appeared to be somewhat restless. It carried Lu Xiaotian and ran deeper into the fog.
After running for about five or six li, Lu Xiaotian looked back. Behind him was actually a bottomless cliff. And in front of him, more than ten wild wolves were howling and pressing towards Lu Xiaotian.
Judging from the fluctuations of the baleful aura on these wolves, most of them were ordinary wild beasts. Only a few parts of them had baleful aura that made one's heart palpitate. But this aura was not as strong as the leopard under Lu Xiaotian's mount. Its size was also a third smaller than Lu Xiaotian's spirit beast leopard. It was just that there were too many of these wolves. Moreover, they were constantly calling for their own kind in the vicinity to gather.
Lu Xiaotian got down from the leopard's back and rushed to the cliff to take a look. Even though he circulated his Essence and could see about a hundred zhang away, the area below that was still shrouded in clouds and fog. He couldn't see the bottom at all. But about twenty zhang away, Lu Xiaotian saw a small platform made of mountain rocks that protruded about ten zhang. There were some green vines on it.
