"Thank you, Master." Li Jiu said. He bowed to Old Man Mu again, and then took the book with both hands. On the cover of the book, the four characters "The Art of Grass and Trees" were clearly written in dark green handwriting.

Just taking a glance at it, Li Jiu felt a sense of intimacy, as if this book exuded a strong life force. He couldn't help but turn the first page and began to study. Gradually, his whole body and mind

They were all immersed in the book and soon forgot everything around them.

Old Man Mu left quietly, and Li Jiu didn't even notice. This book is really not a cultivation method, but it seems to be an encyclopedia of herbs. The book introduces many herbs that alchemists need to use frequently, with pictures.

, there is a written introduction, which can be said to be very detailed. Li Jiu was immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself.

Li Jiu kept looking like this until the light dimmed and he could no longer see with the naked eye. Then he let go of his spiritual consciousness and continued to see with his spiritual consciousness. When the light became brighter, he would look with the naked eye again. Logically speaking, this phenomenon should not be

Appeared in a child. But it just happened. It's like a person. If you give him a storybook, he may read it with gusto. But if you give him a "Xinhua Dictionary", he won't read it at all.

However, Li Jiu is different. He is like a sponge, a very dry sponge that needs to absorb moisture from the surroundings.

When Li Jiu turned to the last page, he closed his eyes. He felt that his eyes were too tired. Fortunately, this was the result of alternating between physical eyes and spiritual consciousness. In his mind, Li Jiu recalled what he had seen.

A smile appeared on his face when he read the content. Now he could confirm that he had just read this book and his memory had not disappeared.

"HH?

Li Jiu has been diligent and worked hard to finish reading this book. In fact, he also wanted to verify a question. Is there anything wrong with his memory? Is there a problem? If there is a problem, where is it?

Why do some contents leave memories? Why do some things fail to leave memories?

Now, the ones that have left memories are the Fire Control Technique, the Art of Plants and Trees, the Soul Technique, and the Beast Control Technique.

What did not leave any memory was the method of spiritual consciousness cultivation taught to him by Yun Niang.

Are there any differences between them?

Is there any connection between them?

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Jiu still couldn't figure it out. He knew there was something wrong with his body, but he was also worried that there was something wrong with his brain. If that happened, he would be really useless. But now it seems like this

I have memorized a thick book, which means that there is no problem with my memory. Could it be that there is a problem with the cultivation content that Yun Niang taught me?

It shouldn’t be! If there is a problem with the content of those practices, then Sister Jin Zhenzhu has also practiced. Nothing happened to Sister Jin Zhenzhu. In other words, the content Yun Niang taught her is only suitable for Sister Jin Zhenzhu.

, not suitable for self-cultivation?

After thinking for a long time, Li Jiu was still confused. If there was anything in this world that was the most mysterious, it might be the human body.

Li Jiu stood up from the big rock and suddenly felt dizzy and his legs were numb. It turned out that he had been sitting here for too long.

After a while, Li Jiulai returned to normal. Looking at the book in his hand, Li Jiu felt a little worried. Where should he put such a thick book? When Old Man Mu took it out, he didn't see what he had read.

Take out the place. It is possible that Old Man Mu has storage equipment, but he does not. This book is really very precious. It would be bad if he lost it.

Li Jiu planned to return the book, so he followed the route in his memory and walked towards Old Man Mu's medicine garden. However, Li Jiu did not notice that the little beast that was sleeping in his arms had disappeared.

He didn't know where he went. Maybe he was too focused on reading this book and didn't notice where the little beast went.

When he arrived at the medicine garden, he was received by the inner disciple who was responsible for guarding the medicine garden, but Old Man Mu was not there. The disciple who guarded the medicine garden was very polite to him. After all, Li Jiu was a direct disciple of the Cuixia sect, and his identity was there.

.

Li Jiu didn't mind whether Old Man Mu was there or not, because as soon as he walked into the medicine garden, he was attracted by the herbs inside. The entire medicine garden was filled with a strong wood-attribute aura. Li Jiu squatted on the ground,

Observing the herbs on the ground, he compared them with the herbs introduced in the Art of Plants and Trees that he just saw.

At the beginning, he would ask some questions about the inner disciples around him, but later, Li Jiu's spirit was completely focused on these herbs, and he seemed to have forgotten everything around him.

Whenever he saw an herbal medicine, he would compare it with what he remembered, and sometimes he would open a book and take a look, because there was still a little difference between what was introduced in the book and what he saw now. Li Jiu found that he liked it very much.

The atmosphere in the medicine garden seemed like every cell in my body was becoming active, and each cell was absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. However, these spiritual energy disappeared after entering the body.

Gradually, Li Jiu reached a point of complete selflessness. He found that as soon as he saw the herb, or even touched it with his spiritual consciousness, he could immediately know the condition of the herb and which herb was healthy.

?Which herb is sick? Which herb has bugs? It seems that I know it all.

This situation did not even occur to him. It seemed that he had a natural affinity with these herbs. Li Jiu even suspected that it was related to his wood-attributed waste spirit roots. But then again, a wood-attribute waste spirit root

How could roots have such a close relationship with herbs?

Li Jiu finally attributed the reason to his spiritual consciousness. Since he practiced the Soul Art, his spiritual consciousness has reached a level of detail when observing objects. He can now easily detect objects in the space.

Reiki can also be absorbed, but the problem is that it cannot be stored.

It's like a strong young man who marries a beautiful fairy, but he still can't use it.

I don’t know when, Old Man Mu has come back. He noticed Li Jiu who was obsessed with the medicine garden. Old Man Mu sent the inner disciple to the side to prevent him from disturbing Li Jiu. In fact, the inner disciple didn’t do anything at all.

Li Jiu could not be disturbed because Li Jiu had devoted all his attention to these herbs and had long ago reached the point of forgetfulness. He had long forgotten the existence of this inner disciple.

Old Man Mu twirled his beard with his hand and had a smile on his face. He was very satisfied with this boy's performance. Few people could achieve such a level of concentration.

But when he thought of Li Jiu's physique, Old Man Mu still sighed softly. He suddenly thought of a sentence: God is jealous of talents. Why is such a good child useless?

Even if one of the spiritual roots is real, depending on how hard this kid works, even if he is not an alchemist in the future, he will still be able to make a name for himself in the world. But it turns out to be a useless spiritual root. What an injustice!

Li Jiu didn't know how long he had stayed in the medicine garden. Anyway, he didn't feel hungry or tired. He just felt happy and relaxed all over. When he finished reading the last herb, he still felt

Somewhat regretful.

There are enough herbs in this garden, but they are still not as many as those introduced in the book The Art of Herbs and Trees. In fact, there is still a huge difference. But this is understandable. There are many kinds of herbs mentioned in the book The Art of Herbs and Trees.

Rare herbs cannot be found in this medicine garden, and some herbs may not even be seen by Mu Xuanzi. There are countless herbs in the world, and even this book may not even summarize them all.

Li Jiu woke up from his selfless state. Instead of seeing Mu Xuanzi, he saw the confused inner disciple standing not far away, looking at him as if he were a freak.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Li Jiu asked.

"Senior Brother Li Jiu, aren't you tired?" the inner disciple asked.

"I'm not tired! I feel relaxed all over. Why should I be tired?" Li Jiu was confused.

"But, Senior Brother Li Jiu, do you know how long you have been here?"

"How long? One day?" Li Jiu said inexplicably. He felt that the time he spent here was not long, as if only a few hours had passed.

"

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Senior Brother Li, you have been here for 12 days, and you have stayed here for 12 days without eating or drinking." The inner disciple said. To be honest, this inner disciple has done nothing else these days except

Eating, drinking and having sex, just watching Li Jiu from the side all the time, this was also the task given to him by Mu Xuanzi. Originally, he thought that Li Jiu might leave in a few days, but he did not expect that this kid actually persisted for 12 days.

I didn't eat or drink for 12 days, and I didn't sleep. I just stared at these herbs, but I couldn't figure out what was so good about them.

"Twelve days?" Li Jiu suddenly realized, but why did he feel that only a few hours had passed? But after being reminded by this inner disciple, Li Jiu realized that the clothes on his body were covered with dust, and his stomach was indeed full of dust.

A little hungry, but still in good spirits.

"Haha... I'm really sorry for making you worry. Do you have anything to eat?" Li Jiu said with an embarrassed smile.

"It has been prepared a long time ago. Please follow me." The inner disciple smiled. He had prepared meals every day for so many days, but Li Jiu was completely immersed in that state, and he enjoyed all the meals he prepared.

Already.

The food prepared by Old Man Mu was quite good. Li Jiu was really hungry and the food was delicious.

"Has anyone come to see me?" Li Jiu said.

"Senior Sister Jin Zhenzhu came to see you once. When she saw you were studying herbal medicine, she left. The other people didn't." The inner disciple said.

Li Jiu nodded. Since it was Jin Zhenzhu, he knew he was here, so he didn't have to worry. The only thing he was worried about now was that Jin Zhenzhu was concerned about him and worried about him.

"Master has warned me that there is one more thing that senior brother may want to pay attention to," said the inner disciple.
