Fairy bestows immortality

Zi Yanqiong then took out a spirit-grade herb from her storage ring once again.

This spirit-grade herb, in appearance and aura, was exactly the same as the Phoenix Grass, making them seem like the same kind of spiritual medicine.

However, Su Yun immediately recognized the difference and said with some surprise, "This is a high-grade Phoenix Spirit Grass of the Spirit Rank, which is very valuable. Senior Sister actually has it."

He had learned about Phoenix Spirit Grass from previous books on medicinal herbs.

Not to mention rare and hard to find, it should at least be similar to the White Dragon Incense he was looking for before, both being rare and valuable medicinal herbs.

Zi Yanqiong then asked with some doubt, "These two herbs are almost identical, even their auras are the same. How did you tell them apart?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yun grinned and said, "Senior Sister, I am an alchemist."

"These kinds of Phoenix Grass and Phoenix Spirit Grass do look exactly the same, and the aura they emit is almost the same. That's why this low-grade spirit-level herb is named Phoenix Grass."

"Both grow in the same environment and have the same habits, so it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to tell them apart. Only after absorbing and refining the medicinal power can they know that there is a difference, unless their divine sense is very strong, such as that of cultivators above the Life Palace level."

"Otherwise, it would require someone with a keen sense of spiritual herbs to recognize it, such as a mid-level alchemist or even a high-level alchemist."

Upon hearing what Su Yun said, Zi Yanqiong's beautiful eyes lit up, and she said, "I knew I hadn't chosen the wrong person."

Su Yun raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean, Senior Sister?"

Zi Yanqiong then continued, "The medicinal power contained in this Phoenix Spirit Grass is of great help to my cultivation technique, so I have been searching for this herb everywhere during this period of time."

"Just a few days ago, I found information about the Phoenix Spirit Grass on the black market outside Mingyuan Ancient City, and was told to pick it up in five days."

"Three days have passed now, and I have been trying to distinguish the differences between these two herbs. Only by observing them carefully for a long time can I tell the difference."

"So I was a little worried that the black market vendor might cheat me by passing off cheap Phoenix Grass as Phoenix Spirit Grass. Since I couldn't refine and distinguish it on the spot, I thought of you."

"Since you can tell the difference right away, I'm relieved. Come with me and help me identify it."

"So that's it."

Su Yun suddenly realized.

No wonder Zi Yanqiong first took out two herbs for him to distinguish; she was testing him.

If he couldn't figure it out, then there would be no further information to tell him.

He smiled and said, "Of course, that's no problem. If Senior Sister has a request, Junior Brother will certainly help."

This is something that can be obtained effortlessly, so why not do it?

Moreover, Zi Yanqiong had treated him well before, and even if there were no resources available, he would still lend a helping hand.

Zi Yanqiong nodded and said, "Alright, there are still two days left. Don't leave the dojo. I'll call you when the time comes."

As she spoke, she tossed the treasure bag in her hand to Su Yun, not worried that Su Yun would run away.

"Senior sister is straightforward."

Su Yun grinned.

Only then did Zi Yanqiong have the mind to take a look at Su Yun, and clicked her tongue and said, "You've broken through, reached the fourth level of the Qi Sea. This aura is truly extraordinary."

She could clearly sense the power of Su Yun's aura; it was far beyond that of an ordinary fourth-level cultivator, and perhaps even comparable to a fifth or sixth-level cultivator.

She thought of the earlier veiled rumor and asked, "Did they find you, that veiled rumor?"

Su Yun waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, that guy has something wrong with his head."

He briefly recounted what had happened, which made Zi Yanqiong laugh heartily.

After a brief conversation, Su Yun moved into another courtyard inside.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Su Yun took out the treasure bag given to him by Zi Yanqiong.

"With this earth milk essence, plus what I had left before, it's enough for me to fuse the second true vein with my Qi Sea."

Reaching in, I absorbed the energy from the earth's milk essence, and after entering my dantian, I began to continue compressing and refining it.
