Chapter 102 True Heaven Heart Grass

Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue experienced a thrilling adventure and finally joined forces to solve the scourge of the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum. They seemed to have unloaded a heavy stone from their hearts, the haze dissipated, and was replaced by a long-lost tranquility and relaxation.

This thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum looks ordinary, but it hides unfathomable cunning and scheming. It uses its wisdom and thousand-year-old cultivation to play with Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue, putting them in trouble. They almost paid a heavy price for it, but fortunately, they finally defeated it with their tenacious will and unremitting efforts.

It is difficult to draw a person's bones when you can draw his skin, and it is just right to describe the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum. Although it is just a plant, it possesses extraordinary wisdom and cunning. It disguises itself as harmless, but secretly lays many traps that make it hard to guard against.

This also made Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue deeply realize that sometimes it is not the old people who become bad, but the bad people who become old. In this complicated world, people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can predict what challenges and tests will be encountered around the next corner.

However, although the process was difficult, the result was worth it. As a rare natural treasure, the value of the Millennium Polygonum multiflorum is immeasurable. It can not only increase life span and prolong life, but also improve cultivation and enhance strength. For practitioners, this is undoubtedly an extremely precious gift.

In order to prevent the loss of the spiritual power and life essence of the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, Lu Xiuyuan carefully placed it in a special jade box. This jade box is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has an excellent preservation effect, which can ensure the integrity and effectiveness of the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum.

After doing all this, Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue prepared to leave this dangerous and unknown place. They stood in front of the cave entrance, looking back at the dense forest that had once made them suffer, their hearts filled with emotion and relief.

"Are we really going to look for Tianxin Grass and Lingquan?" Wen Lingyue asked hesitantly. Her eyes were full of mixed emotions, including curiosity about the unknown and worry about danger. She looked at Lu Xiuyuan, hoping to get some answers from his eyes.

Lu Xiuyuan frowned slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "I don't even believe the punctuation marks that come out of that Polygonum multiflorum's mouth." His tone revealed his deep dissatisfaction and vigilance towards the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum.

Wen Lingyue sighed softly. She understood that Lu Xiuyuan's worries were not unreasonable. The cunning and scheming of the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum had caused them both a lot of trouble, so they naturally could not believe its words. However, the hope in her heart was not extinguished.

"Although what that He Shouwu said is not credible, we can't completely give up hope of finding Tianxin Grass and Lingquan." Wen Lingyue's voice was firm, "After all, the purpose of our coming here is to find these precious natural treasures. Moreover, we can't give up easily because of one failure."

Lu Xiuyuan looked at her with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He knew that although Wen Lingyue looked weak, she was very tough inside. She would not be easily defeated by difficulties, but would face and overcome them bravely. Such qualities made Lu Xiuyuan admire her even more.

"You're right." Lu Xiuyuan nodded, "We can't give up just because of one failure. The thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum said it was in the north at first, but changed its mind when it was dying, saying that the Tianxin grass can be found if you go south from here, and the Lingquan is a few miles east."

After hearing this, Wen Lingyue frowned slightly, as if thinking about this information. She knew that Lu Xiuyuan was a cautious and rational person. He would not easily believe what others said, and would not act blindly. Therefore, she believed that his analysis and judgment of this information must be well-founded.

"When a bird is about to die, its cry is sad; when a person is about to die, his words are kind." Wen Lingyue said slowly, "What it said before dying may really have some credibility."

Lu Xiuyuan nodded in agreement. He knew that although the thousand-year-old He Shouwu had been deceiving them before, it might have really told some truths before it died. After all, life is the most precious thing for any living being. At the last moment of life, they often put aside all disguises and deceptions and return to their truest selves.

"Well, let's go look for Tianxin grass." Lu Xiuyuan said, "This Tianxin grass is an indispensable raw material for refining foundation-building pills. We are all in the late stage of Qi training now. Fortunately, you have the support of the sect, so you will get the foundation-building pill. But I can't. I have a low status in the sect, so I must get Tianxin grass to refine the foundation-building pill."

After hearing this, Wen Lingyue felt a warm current in her heart. She knew that the reason why Lu Xiuyuan was so persistent in finding the Tianxin Grass was to be able to refine the foundation-building pill and thus improve his cultivation. As his partner and friend, she naturally had to fully support him.

"Don't worry, I will accompany you to find Tianxin Grass." Wen Lingyue said, "No matter what difficulties and dangers we encounter, we will face them together and overcome them together."

Lu Xiuyuan looked at her determined eyes, his heart filled with gratitude and trust. He knew that with Wen Lingyue's company and support, their adventure would be more exciting and fulfilling.

So, the two decided to continue to move forward and look for the legendary Tianxin grass. They believed that as long as they worked together and moved forward courageously, they would be able to find the precious natural treasure and realize their wishes and dreams.

After the two of them rested, their bodies and minds were rejuvenated, as if they had experienced a baptism, washing away their fatigue and dust, leaving only full of fighting spirit and expectations. They decided to continue moving south from here, exploring the unknown world and looking for the legendary natural treasures.

Although their steps were a little tired, they took each step firmly and powerfully. Their eyes were shining with determination and expectation, as if they had seen the unknown world ahead, hiding endless treasures and opportunities, waiting for them to discover and grasp.

As the two of them went deeper, the surrounding environment gradually changed. The originally dilapidated scene gradually faded away, replaced by a neat and vibrant land. The soil under their feet became soft and moist, as if there was life crawling in it, and every step was stepped on hope. The air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and grass. These natural aromas made people feel relaxed and happy, as if they were in a paradise. The surrounding trees were lush and green, and the chirping of birds came from the branches and leaves from time to time, crisp and pleasant, as if welcoming their arrival and cheering them up.

Finally, a patch of grass appeared not far ahead. The grass was lush and full of vitality, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding scenery. In the center of the grass, there grew a cluster of dazzling green plants. The plants were green throughout, with only the veins between the leaves being yellow, emitting a faint glow, as if a dazzling emerald inlaid on the earth, or like a pearl of Mother Earth, quietly waiting for the arrival of a destined person.

Looking at the cluster of plants in front of him, Lu Xiuyuan's eyes flashed with excitement. He slowly approached the bushes, squatted down and carefully observed the plant. The green leaves shone in the sun, as if life was beating, and the yellow veins were like golden lines, outlining its beauty and magic. He couldn't help but reach out to touch the leaves, and felt a warm and gentle power coming from the leaves, as if a life force was slowly flowing, echoing the spiritual energy in his body.

Wen Lingyue followed closely behind, coming closer with curiosity. She looked at the Tianxin grass, her eyes flashing with wonder and curiosity. She asked softly, "Is this the legendary Tianxin grass?"

Lu Xiuyuan nodded, with an affirmative smile on his face. He pointed at the plant and said, "Yes, this is Tianxin Grass. It is said to have the function of strengthening the body and increasing effectiveness, and it can also help people break through bottlenecks. For us practitioners, it is undoubtedly a rare treasure."

Wen Lingyue was also attracted by this magical plant. She stared at the Tianxin grass intently, as if she wanted to deeply imprint it in her mind. She sighed: "It's worth our effort to find it. This Tianxin grass is indeed extraordinary."

Lu Xiuyuan carefully reached out his hand and gently touched the leaves of Tianxin Grass. He felt a warm and gentle force coming from the leaves, as if a life force was slowly flowing. He knew that this was the magical power contained in Tianxin Grass, and it was an important aid in his cultivation.

He gently pulled the Tianxin grass out of the soil, and then carefully placed it in a special jade box. This jade box was specially prepared by him to preserve the Tianxin grass, which could ensure that the spiritual power and medicinal effect of the Tianxin grass would not be lost. He looked at the Tianxin grass in the jade box and showed a satisfied smile on his face. He knew that with this Tianxin grass, his path of cultivation would be smoother and his future path would be broader.

Wen Lingyue was also happy for Lu Xiuyuan, she knew that this Tianxin grass was of great significance to Lu Xiuyuan. She believed that with the help of this Tianxin grass, Lu Xiuyuan's cultivation would surely advance by leaps and bounds and reach a new height.

Lu Xiuyuan gently picked up a delicate little box and carefully placed the Tianxin grass he had just picked into it. The Tianxin grass glowed faintly in the sun, like a green gem, lying quietly in the little box. He handed the little box to Wen Lingyue, with determination and sincerity in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Wen Lingyue quickly waved her hand to decline, saying, "This Tianxin Grass is hard to come by, you'd better take good care of it." Her voice revealed her cherishment and respect for this treasure.

Lu Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "You also have a share of this, I can't keep it all by myself. You'd better take it quickly, otherwise I will feel uneasy." His tone was firm and sincere, making it impossible to refuse.

Wen Lingyue looked at his determined eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that Lu Xiuyuan was an upright and generous person, and she couldn't let him down. So, she couldn't resist Lu Xiuyuan's insistence, so she had to carefully put away the Tianxin grass.

After collecting the Tianxin Grass, Lu Xiuyuan showed a satisfied smile on his face. He turned around and said to Wen Lingyue, "Now, let's go find the real spiritual spring. The last time we found the Greedy Spring, we suffered a lot. This time we must find the spiritual spring, even if it means losing everything."

Wen Lingyue nodded after hearing this, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. She said, "Drinking from the Greedy Spring makes one feel refreshed, and being in a dry rut makes one feel happy. We are also imitating the ancients."

When Lu Xiuyuan heard this, he was stunned. He thought, the world really doesn't know the origin of this sentence. So he explained: "This is a saying that is popular in our hometown. It means that even if you drink the water of Tanquan, you can stay awake and alert; even in difficult situations, you can stay optimistic and strong. I hope that we can also be like the ancients, indomitable in the face of difficulties, and always keep a firm heart."

After hearing this, Wen Lingyue became very interested in the culture of Lu Xiuyuan's hometown. She asked curiously, "Does your hometown have such interesting sayings? Can you tell me more about them?"

Lu Xiuyuan laughed and said lightly: "That's all, I don't remember much. Let's go find the spiritual spring." There was a hint of mischief and humor in his words, which instantly eased the originally tense atmosphere.

Wen Lingyue couldn't help laughing when she heard this. She knew Lu Xiuyuan's character very well. He was a jokester, but also a trustworthy partner. So she stopped dwelling on this topic and continued walking towards the Lingquan with Lu Xiuyuan.

The two of them laughed and talked happily all the way, as if the whole world was infected by their happiness. They were in an extremely relaxed and happy mood.

It was unknown whether the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum was destroyed, the magic here was solved, or the secret realm was also infected by this joyful atmosphere, but they did not encounter any difficulties or obstacles along the way. It seemed that all the difficulties and dangers disappeared in their laughter.

On the way, Lu Xiuyuan suddenly said to Wen Lingyue: "Do you know how long we have been here?"

Hearing this, Wen Lingyue scratched her head, thought carefully, and then counted on her fingers: "It's been almost half a month since I came here."

Lu Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Yes, time flies. The Beiya Cave Secret Realm will be closed in a month, so we have to hurry."

Wen Lingyue also realized the urgency of time, and she nodded in agreement. She knew that although they did not encounter any danger along the way, they could not be careless. After all, the Beiya Cave Secret Realm was a place full of unknowns and dangers, and one could fall into a desperate situation if one was not careful.
