The osmanthus moon is setting in the middle of the moon, and the fragrant clouds are floating outside.

Before you know it, it’s autumn again.

"Let's go, junior sister."

"Okay senior brother!"

Lin Jue called his junior sister and Fuyao to go out together. Just in case, he still carried three bottles of spiritual liquid.

Lin Jue hasn't gone up the mountain to find medicine for a while. Unless he happens to encounter it on the way to practice, most of the current spiritual liquid is extracted from the spiritual plants brought back by his junior sister.

Before leaving the inner courtyard, I suddenly heard a voice coming from behind:

"Where exactly are you going?"

The two of them turned their heads at the same time, it was the third senior brother.

"What's wrong, Third Senior Brother?"

"Any work to do?"

"I don't have much work, I just want to tell you that the Ming Ke Mountain Jiao Festival is approaching and we have to set off half a month in advance. Do you want to prepare some dry food?" The third senior brother looked at Lin Jue.

"It's Third Senior Brother, are you taking us there?"

"No way! It's the harvest season. Your senior brother is busy. Second senior brother likes to be quiet. Only third senior brother and I can be hungover in the room and travel to the world. If I encounter monsters on the road, I will be there during the feast.

If you encounter a rude monster on the road, I can still protect you. Is there anyone more suitable than me?"

"Is that so?" Lin Jue thought for a while and asked, "Did you prepare any dry food for the Qiyun Mountain Jiao last time?"

"Qiyun Mountain is not far away, and there are places to eat in the middle, so I didn't prepare any dry food. Instead, Master went to find his old friend and prepared some rice crusts. He only took the rice crusts and dried them in the sun. In addition, there were also those practiced by the second senior brother

Jiuhuang Pills can ward off hunger on the road. Eating them is almost like a stone. The only difference is that you can pull it out after eating."

"this……"

Lin Jue almost knew it.

"Leave it to me."

"Then I'll be relieved." Third Senior Brother grinned, "You want to go out?"

"As I told my senior brother, our fruits may be ripe recently."

"Oh, what a chance you have." The third senior brother nodded calmly, as if he didn't care, "It's just right once you're familiar with it. Even if you can't refine the elixir, you can still take it to the big altar to see if anyone else needs it."

"good."

"Go ahead."

The two of them headed towards the mountains.

Fuyao became more and more lively and ran ahead. Unlike most foxes, he liked to jump very much when walking and running. Whenever he encountered an obstacle, he would jump over it. His body was light and his energy was unlimited.

It is also the season when wild fruits are abundant, and there is often the fragrance of fruits along the roadside, which often attracts it to stop and smell it.

"How old is Fuyao?"

The little junior sister stared at the fox in front of her with a puzzled expression.

"When I picked it up, it must have been born not long ago. It's now a few months more than a year."

"Senior brother, have you noticed that Fuyao seems to be a little bigger than an ordinary fox?"

"Yeah?"

Lin Jue couldn't help but take a closer look.

The palm-sized fox at that time had indeed grown up, and now it looked almost as big as a dog. But it wasn't until the junior sister said this that Lin Jue came back to his senses——

It seems that most foxes are smaller than the dogs in the mountains.

As if he heard them talking about himself, the fox who was jumping over a dead tree suddenly turned back and stared at them with lively eyes.

Lin Jue smiled and continued to move forward.

We are already familiar with the road.

The two climbed down carefully, while the fox found the protrusion of the rocks and jumped to the bottom of the valley. If anyone saw it, it would probably be a rumor about a fox spirit.

Before reaching the bottom of the valley, there was a strange smell.

When we reached the bottom of the valley, there were already several spirits waiting here.

Lin Jue was still standing at the same position near the cliff as before. When he saw several spirits looking towards them, he saluted them. The junior sister followed his example and saluted them as well.

Some spirits nodded, while others just had flashing eyes and didn't understand this.

"You guys are here early!"

The sound of a golden rooster came from the branches ahead.

The sound was clear and empty like a bird's call.

The golden rooster dragged its colorful tail feathers and looked down at them. It was one of the only two spirits that could speak human language among the spirits that cultivated trees and fruits at the bottom of the valley. The other one was the extraordinarily large clouded leopard.

However, the rest of the monsters are not necessarily because of lack of moral practice, but more likely because they are in the mountains and there are no human traces. They have nowhere to learn human language and have no need to communicate with people, so they naturally can't speak. This golden rooster seems to be because

I learned it after meeting with a Taoist temple in the mountains.

"Fellow Taoists should come earlier." Lin Jue said kindly. He came here every seven days. As time went by, he got to meet them.

"The fruit should be ripe today!"

"Is it ripe today?"

Lin Jue couldn't help but show a hint of joy.

This joy is not only the joy of finding a treasure, but also the joy of seeing the results of your hard work and receiving rewards for your spiritual liquid. This kind of joy is very simple.

"It should be ripe!" Golden Rooster was also very happy. "This kind of tree appeared once ten years ago, but it didn't grow as well as this time!"

"Did Fellow Taoist also discover it ten years ago?"

"Destined! Found it!"

"Um……"

Lin Jue roughly knew the reason.

In fact, before Lin Jue got involved, most of these spirits relied on their own vitality to nourish the small tree, or collected other things that had aura and were suitable for nourishing the spirit tree, but these things were incomparable.

Lin Jue brought refined spiritual liquid, so Lin Jue intervened halfway and they accepted it.

But it's not just Lin Jue and his junior sister's contribution.

It is true that there are rules in the mountains, and the spirits and monsters are simple by nature. Seeing how much Lin Jue and the junior sister had sacrificed, they were not willing to lag behind too much. From then on, they also contributed more than before.

It actually feels like it's rolled up.

"Since my fellow Taoist has obtained this kind of spiritual fruit before, I wonder what effect it has?"

"You asked about fruit?"

"nature."

"Eating the fruit will make you wiser and increase your spiritual conduct."

"Besides the fruit, is there anything else useful?"

"certainly."

"Please enlighten me."

"Like leaves and branches, they can be used to make nests."

"What is the use of making a nest?"

“Smells delicious!”

"ah……"

"Don't stand so close to the cliff." Jin Ji reminded them, "I heard from other spirits in the mountain that in the past year, people in Yishan have been throwing stones down the mountain. When you walk close to the cliff,

Be careful and don't get hit."

"..."

Lin Jue couldn't help turning his head when he heard the words and looked at his junior sister.

The little junior sister's expression was dull and she stretched out her hand to scratch her head.

Look at the small tree in front of you again.

The small tree is still green and lush, and has grown to the height of a person. It is half hidden in the clouds and mist. I don't know if it is reflected or something, but the clouds and mist often show a little colorful light and strange colors.

There are bright yellow dangos on the tree, which are no bigger than an egg.

Lin Jue raised his head and looked at the sky.

It is a sunny day today, and the sky is blue.

There is no fog in the mountains, only around the small trees.
