Lu Zhiwei left in a hurry, leaving the green pestle in place, staring at a packet of moon bud grass seeds in a daze.
"Moon Bud Grass..."
She looked at the peach tree in the corner of the medicine garden, and then at the seeds in her hand.
The investment in medicine garden planting that Zongmen mentioned is starting now?
Perhaps cultivating alchemists is also one of the ways to invest in medicine gardens.
She still knows about the elixir of moon bud grass and knows how to grow it.
When moon bud grass grows, it needs to absorb moonlight and must be planted in the open air. It is much easier to take care of than other elixirs in the medicine garden.
After thinking for a while with the seeds, She Qingqing took action.
She found an open space, dug the soil with a hoe, and started planting moon bud grass, very skillfully.
…
By the time Lu Zhiwei came out of the library, it was already two hours later.
Due to the sect's shortage of manpower, the library has not been maintained for a long time. In order to search for the books Lu Ping told him, Lu Zhiwei carefully browsed them for a long time.
In addition, she also searched for three books: "Encyclopedia of Medicinal Herbs", "Complete Miscellaneous Notes on Alchemy" and "Notes on Alchemy of Chu State".
There were seven books in total. Lu Zhiwei finished burning them and returned to the medicine garden and handed them all to She Qingqing, telling her to study hard, especially the four books Lu Ping mentioned, which were the top priority.
The introduction of an alchemist actually starts with theoretical knowledge, and this link is collectively called an alchemy apprentice. Once the theoretical knowledge is thoroughly mastered, you can try to refine first-level low-grade elixirs.
Refining a first-level low-grade elixir is not difficult, and you can master it as long as you study hard. However, the success of the elixir depends on the alchemy technique and ability of the alchemist, which varies from person to person.
Successfully refining a first-level low-grade elixir is regarded as a first-level low-grade alchemist. It can be said that the threshold is not high and entry is simple.
However, from the first level of low-grade onwards, the difficulty of upgrading the alchemist will gradually increase, and more and more resources will be consumed.
"She Qingqing, work hard."
Seeing that the moon bud grass was planted, Lu Zhiwei got up and left.
"I will!"
Being rewarded for no merit, and being so appreciated by the sect, She Qingqing only felt that there was an extra pressure on her shoulders, but this pressure could become the motivation to move forward.
She vowed to learn alchemy well, not only for herself, but also for the sect.
After leaving the medicine garden, Lu Zhiwei went to Houshan Cave Mansion and reported to Lu Ping about She Qingqing.
She Qingqing has agreed to learn alchemy, and this result was expected by Lu Ping.
When Lu Ping was traveling in Lingxi Prefecture, he also joined a sect and acted as the caretaker of the medicine garden.
It was during the years when I was taking care of the medicine garden that I gradually came up with the idea of learning alchemy. I taught myself how to make alchemy in my spare time. Later, I was fortunate enough to be taught by Qingxi Taoist, and I officially started the journey of alchemy.
Unfortunately, after only a few years of studying, a war broke out between the sect and other sects, leading to the sect's demise.
With the sect gone, Lu Ping had no choice but to leave and become a casual cultivator again. He put aside his study of alchemy and focused on his cultivation.
It was not until he reached the golden elixir stage that his cultivation progressed slowly, that Lu Ping began to delve into the alchemy path again, and finally reached the level of a third-level alchemist.
In general, She Qingqing is very similar to Lu Ping in the past. They both learned the art of alchemy in the medicine garden.
After She Qingqing masters the knowledge of alchemy and has a certain foundation, he can teach her how to make alchemy.
However, this waiting time will not be too short, about a year is necessary.
Lu Ping also decided to pull Qingqing away and shorten the time as much as possible.
After looking at the remaining 46 reputation points in his hand, he opened the mall and found [One Star - Diligent and Studious] among the many options. He spent 15 reputation points to redeem it and blessed it on She Qingqing.
This blessing effect can last for one year, which is enough to encourage She Qingqing to study hard and enter the ranks of alchemy as soon as possible.
After this operation, there are only 31 reputation points left.
Time goes by, the sun rises and sets, summer passes and autumn comes, and more than a month passes in the blink of an eye.
After starting to train alchemists for the sect, Lu Ping had a lot of leisure time.
He walked back and forth on Qinglian Mountain many times, and he often saw the disciples laughing, playing, and supporting each other. There were also disciples who were just beginning to fall in love and were busy working for their favorite junior sister and never tired of it.
Lu Yuanshan, Lu Zhiwei, and Lu Changfeng were all busy with sect affairs or practicing in seclusion. Their time was tight throughout the day and they rarely took any leisure time.
She Qingqing was very serious, taking care of the medicine garden during the day and studying alchemy theory at night. When Lu Ping passed by the medicine garden, he would often see the candlelight in her room continuing until late at night.
The effect of "diligence and studiousness" has been taking effect, and She Qingqing is also willing to work hard.
[In the autumn harvest season, a burst of joy begins to fill the sect]
On this day, a dialog box popped up in front of Lu Ping.
While the system is synchronizing messages, it will occasionally pop up some information on the atmosphere of the sect to let Lu Ping understand the situation within the sect.
When Lu Ping paid attention, he found the source of the joy.
By the autumn harvest season, the spiritual rice in the sect’s spiritual fields has matured and is ready for a bumper harvest.
He definitely wanted to see this kind of harvest scene.
Lu Ping controlled his conscious body and floated towards the spiritual field.
The Zongmen's spiritual field totals ten acres and is located on the mountainside of Qinglian Mountain in an area called Yanyang Lake. It is one of the three major industries of the Zongmen and is also the most profitable industry.
Lu Ping floated across Yanyang Lake. The clear green lake surface was calm and calm, reflecting the bright sun and clear sky. The water and sky were the same color, but Lu Ping's thin figure could not be reflected.
"There is such a lake in the sect that is left alone and is only used to supply domestic water. Doesn't it seem overkill and underutilized?"
Yanyang Lake occupies a large area, is irregularly circular, and has a diameter of about three thousand meters. It is the largest freshwater lake on Qinglian Mountain.
"If spiritual fish are cultured in Yanyang Lake, then the sect can have one more industry, and it will not seem so strapped."
Passing by Yanyang Lake, an idea came to Lu Ping's mind.
Due to the warm cultivation of Qinglian Mountain's spiritual veins, Yanyang Lake contains a little spiritual energy, which can barely satisfy the cultivation of some low-level spiritual fish.
The idea of breeding spiritual fish is indeed feasible.
In fact, Lu Yuanshan had the same idea as Lu Ping, but he thought that once he wanted to breed spiritual fish, he would have to spend a lot of money to buy fry in the early stage.
Moreover, the growth cycle of spirit fish is slow and it is expensive to breed. Considering these points, we can only put this matter aside and not think about it.
After crossing Yanyang Lake and arriving outside the Lingtian, Lu Ping saw many figures gathered in the Lingtian.
They are all disciples of the sect. They are gathered in groups at the moment, holding magical weapons, bent over and busy harvesting spiritual rice, showing a busy farming scene.
For Lu Ping, who has never participated in farming, this scene is very novel.
The breeze blows, and the golden rice sways gently.
Clusters of spiritual rice the size of broad beans are formed on the spiritual rice. Each grain of spiritual rice is plump and fragrant.
These are not ordinary grains, they are all jade crystal rice, which is a first-class top grade, contains spiritual essence, is sweet and delicious.
The mature corn crystal rice needs to be harvested within three days. The harvest period of the spiritual rice is very short.
Otherwise, once the harvest period is over, the rice will fall off on its own and will quickly split and sprout when placed in the soil, making it inedible.
Therefore, corn crystal rice needs to be harvested in time when it matures, and the harvest period cannot be missed. This chapter has been completed!
