“On one hand, the plants that are produced have sufficient strength to nourish these symbiotic mushrooms; On the other hand, the demons could produce scarce nutrients and supply them back. The two of them supported each other and grew up together. They were a match made in heaven.”
Li Yuanqing listened to the old man’s description and was entranced. He silently memorized these keywords.
“Spirit Grass Mountain Range, Master Myriad Mushroom.”
Wang Lan turned to Li Yuanqing and asked with a smile,””Little fellow, you seem to be very interested in these things.”
“Is that so, Senior? I’m naturally interested in everything.”
“Sometimes this is a good habit, but sometimes it can easily harm yourself.”
“Many thanks for Senior’s teachings. Junior will definitely pay more attention in the future. I wonder if senior has any other instructions. If not, junior will have to water these herbs today.”
Wang Lan leaned against the ridge of the field. Her cheeks were red as she looked at Li Yuanqing. She burped and replied,”You can go do what you need to do. 1’11 stay here and study for a while. If I need your help, I’ll call you.”
“Then this junior will take his leave first.”
“Wait a moment.”
Li Yunqing had just walked to the corner when he was called down again.
“Is there anything else Senior needs?”
“Don’t water too much this time.”
“Junior will definitely remember this.”
Li Yuanqing hurriedly walked away. Wang Lan was still shouting at him from afar,”I think the small house next to yours is not bad. Help me clean it up.”
Li Yuanqing looked gloomily at the deserted hut beside him.
This old man really planned to stay here. Could it be that this person had discovered something? He had said so much in detail just now. Could it be that he was just casually saying it?
However, this old fellow’s knowledge of pharmacology was very sufficient. Li Yuanqing himself had been unable to figure out these things for a long time.
He didn’t expect that there were so many theories between plants.
It seemed that he really needed to make a trip to this so-called spiritual herb mountain range. Otherwise, if he really left behind any hidden dangers, the losses would be too great.
Of course, the Fire Spirit Fruit didn’t matter, but Xiao Man and the others couldn’t be affected.
Watering these thousands of medicinal fields at once was also a laborious matter. Fortunately, after watering the fields this time, the next watering would have to wait ten days. Watering three times a month was enough to hasten the growth of a batch of mature medicinal herbs.
Many of the medicinal herbs here were very old roots. Their roots actually extended straight into the ground for thousands of feet.
The herbal fields were all built on the sect’s spirit veins, which also ensured an adequate supply of spirit power.
These medicinal herbs were directly produced by lying on the spirit vein and absorbing spirit energy. No wonder they could grow so quickly.
In the herb garden under Li Yuanqing’s jurisdiction, there were a total of ten types of medicinal herbs planted.
Among them, the ones with the largest production were the Fire Spirit Fruit and the Stone Worm Grass.
The Stone Worm Grass was grey and looked like a small stone stick. It matured very quickly. Although this little guy looked ordinary, it was the foundation of many medicinal pills.
Normally, the strength of medicinal herbs was too fierce, and it might be very irritating to the human body. However, this Stone Wormgrass played a good role in neutralizing the effect. It could protect the human body very well and slowly release the medicinal effect.
In addition, there were a few expensive medicinal herbs. Although the amount of these medicinal herbs used was not large, it was very difficult to cultivate, so it was also very laborious.
The most typical example was the Purple Dragon Root.
It was said that a thousand-year-old Purple Dragon Root had the effect of reviving people and bones even if it was not refined into a pill. However, it was difficult to say whether this medicinal effect was true or false.
Li Yuanqing took a casual glance and saw Wang Lan walking into the herbal field. He directly dug out two purple dragon roots from the fat tree with his bare hands and stuffed them into Wang Lan’s broken gourd.
These two Purple Dragon Roots were so fat that they must be the offerings that Li Yuanqing had to report to him next month. He did not expect that they would be casually pulled out by this old man to soak in wine.
Li Yuanqing couldn’t help but feel his heart ache.
Before he could finish sighing, the old man’s hands were not idle at all.
He ran to another piece and pulled out two white jade potatoes.
Sitting on the ridge, he set up a fire and started roasting.
The roasted white jade potato tasted very fragrant and rich. A dense spiritual energy spread out in all directions. Just this intense taste was very fascinating.
He was not done yet. He plucked the fruit that was about to ripen and stuffed it into his mouth. His hands could not stop at all. It was as if he had been hungry for a hundred years.
Li Yunqing watched his actions from the side and could not help but feel his heart ache.
If he were to continue to waste a piece of land like this, it would probably be completely destroyed in less than two days. If he were to stay here for ten days to half a month, he was afraid that he would not be able to hand in the tribute next month.
However, it was hard to say that it was a bad thing. If he could deceive them and lie about the number, would he be able to grow more Fire Spirit Fruits?
Just as Li Yuanqing was thinking about it, the old man suddenly remembered him.
She waved at him and summoned him over.
“Little guy, come here quickly. I still have some important things to do.”
“I wonder if Senior has any other instructions?”
“Sit here and chat with me. Old man, I’ve told you so much just now, but I still don’t know where you’re from.”
Li Yuanqing smiled and replied,” I don’t have much to say. Master is an alchemist. Later on, when he was in the lower realm, he rode a crane to become an immortal. Liu Wan was alone in the lower realm for many years. Finally, she found a door to ascend to immortality. With such a way, she secretly came up.”
“I see. In that case, you must know a lot of herbs from the lower realm?”
“I do know a thing or two.”
“Then do you know that there is a kind of wood called Divine Dragon Fragrance in the lower realm? It grows extremely slowly. After it matures, it will give off an extremely rich and strange fragrance when burned.”
“I’ve heard of it.”
“Then do you have some? I haven’t seen this kind of divine dragon incense for many years, and I still miss that smell.”
Li Yuanqing replied apologetically,””Senior, junior, although I’ve heard of the name of the Divine Dragon Incense, I haven’t had the opportunity to see it.” “That’s a pity.”
Wang Lan shook her head regretfully.
Li Yuanqing didn’t say anything. In his domain space, there was a divine dragon incense core that was more than three meters in diameter.
The fragrance of the essence of the Divine Dragon Incense was ten times stronger than that of the ordinary Divine Dragon Incense.
“I still remember that it has been many years since I met a good friend. It was also from her that I learned that there was such a novel thing in the lower realm. Ever since she left, I haven’t seen this Divine Dragon Incense.”
Looking at Wang Lan’s reminiscing gaze, Li Yuanqing’s heart also started to sigh.
“That’s really a pity. It’s just that this Divine Dragon Incense can only be encountered by chance and not sought after. There aren’t many in the world to begin with.”
“That’s right. Isn’t everything in this world something that can be encountered but not sought after? When you meet a noble person who can change your life, you should firmly grasp this opportunity.”
Wang Lan’s words seemed to be a continuation of the previous topic, but she also looked at Li Yuanqing as if she was hinting something.
Li Yuanqing picked up the white jade potato that was being roasted over the fire and tore it in half. A rich fragrance instantly assaulted his nose.
“Senior, your White Jade Potato is already cooked.”
Wang Lan took the fragrant white jade potato and said with some emotion,”If this white jade potato can grow to ten times its original size, what kind of flavor would it have?”
“Senior must be joking. How can this thing grow again?”
“I didn’t believe it before, but now I’m starting to believe it. Or rather, I believe it very much now!”
When Wang Lan said this, she stared at Li Yuanqing with a burning gaze. No matter how calm Li Yuanqing was, he could not help but swallow his saliva.
“Senior really likes to joke.”
“I learned this from my friend in the lower realm. 1 thought you people in the lower realm liked this..”
