There is no rush to go into the mountains to look for medicine. It will not be too late to go after planting in the next few days.
When he came to the medicine field, he saw that the leaves of Yuanlinggen had shrunk to the ground, leaving only two yellowish leaves outside.
Digging and pulling up skillfully.
But this time I'm not sure what the reason is, but these two roots seem to be a little undernourished. At least the hollow chamber in the center is smaller than the one planted the first time.
He cut it open quickly, but this time he had experience, so he did not cut it completely in half, but only made an inverted triangular incision on the surface. The dagger was inserted into the skin and the small piece was gently pulled out.
After a moment's pause, the smoke flew out and slowly condensed into beads in the air.
No matter how many times I watch it, this scene is still magical.
After admiring the breathtaking beauty of the air beads for a while, he mixed them with well water and poured the prepared spiritual liquid into the water bag.
There were not many water bags in the Taoist temple. There were four water bags in total. One bag had some left, and the other three bags were all filled by him at this time.
As for the remaining Lingyuan spiritual energy, Chen Yu continued to seal it and blocked the opening. It is expected that less of it would leak out than the first time.
"It would be nice to have more water bladders."
How about trying a bamboo tube? Or a wooden barrel?
Based on his experience, except for the magical effect, spiritual liquid is no different from water. It will evaporate and seep. Therefore, if you want to use wooden barrels to store it, the airtight process is a problem.
Bamboo tubes are suitable, so you can give it a try.
The main reason is that Chen Yu has not yet found a way to use the spiritual energy source, so he can only synthesize spiritual fluid passively. Moreover, he has tried using rainwater and sewage to synthesize it, but it is a pity that it cannot be drunk.
Obviously, Reiki has no ability to purify water.
He also tried to directly touch the plants with spiritual energy, but the results were not satisfactory. Just like the earthworm beetles that time, once they came into contact, they would explode on the spot.
He died without any hesitation.
In front of the medicine field, after filling up the spiritual fluid and storing the remaining spiritual energy in Yuanling roots, Chen Yu returned to the field.
There was no rush to start the third inspirational catalyst. He waited for the medicinal herbs and grain seeds on the wooden board and the earthen jar. This time he not only used the inspiration, but also added spiritual liquid for comparison.
If the spiritual liquid can also produce some effects, perhaps this medicinal field can have many more uses in the future.
"Smooth it out first."
This time the Yuanling root production was not as good as last time, either the inspiration was scattered, or there was a problem with the soil. He planned to fertilize and turn the soil.
"Next time you come again, you can try two or more pills of spiritual catalyst..."
…
April 11th, sunny.
yawn!
In the small temple on the mountain, Chen Yu stood up after finishing his exercises and looked towards the horizon where the glow was gradually blooming.
The reed ginseng ointment was exhausted three days ago, so now I can only maintain twenty-five rounds of exercise. Fortunately, the liver has become much stronger under the nourishment of the spiritual liquid and ointment during this period. After one round of exercise,
I didn't feel as stressed as I did at the beginning.
He stretched out, still wearing the plain white shirt.
There have been a lot of chores in the past five days. After all, after plowing the soil, we have to sow seeds, plus the continuous cultivation of medicinal seeds and grain seeds in the previous period. Taking care of these things is much more troublesome than ordinary plants.
Fortunately, hard work paid off, and in a row of earthen pots leaning against the courtyard wall, the two medicinal herbs had regained their vitality and vitality, and were now spreading their roots and leaves under the morning glow.
One is called Xielianye and the other is called Hanqin.
The former sounds like scallions, while the latter is exactly the famous celery.
Both can be used as medicine, and he didn't have to choose, so he chose them for testing - they can also be used to stew soup and season them.
Speaking of seasoning, Chen Yu couldn't help but rub his slightly bearded chin, feeling that it was time to prove himself.
I originally planned to go up the mountain to look for reed ginseng, but this time I happened to catch the snakehead fish along the way.
"Celery and fish, it's so delicious just thinking about it."
After breakfast, he went to the vegetable garden to dig up seven or eight live red earthworms, put them in a bamboo tube, and hung them around his waist.
Then he picked up the bamboo pole that had never been opened, and gathered the fishing line on the cloth bag. Two bamboo baskets, one large and one small, were overlapped and carried on his back. The big one was used to hold herbs, and the one with a narrow neck was reserved for snakeheaded fish.
It's half past spring, and the mountains and forests are growing wildly.
After climbing all the way, the hatchet in my hand was about to curl. It took me most of an hour to finally get around the steep cliff behind the mountain. Instead of taking the long-disrepaired plank road, I chose to cross through the dense forest.
.
Qingtai Mountain is not high, and the area facing the sun is connected to a large area of dense forest. There are more people coming and going, and trails have been carved out all year round. On the side facing the sun and shade, the vegetation is not lush, but it is low and tangled.
becomes more difficult.
Bushy.
After crossing the back of the mountain, you can hear the stream flowing in the distance.
Chen Yu chose a direction with heavier moisture, thinking that there might be something to gain in that area.
No matter how long he walked, the forest was actually still on the outskirts. Qingtai Mountain fell on the side of the Baiqi Mountains. The farther west he went, the thicker and denser the forest became.
Of course, there are many medicinal herbs in the deep forest, which support many medicinal collectors, but they are also full of insects and snakes, and countless people have died there.
Another two-quarters of an hour passed, and Chen Yu estimated that he had walked about a mile or two. During this period, the gurgling sound of the stream kept echoing in his ears. He did not deviate and moved forward along the stream.
On the way, we also saw a lot of common herbs such as Coriander leaf and Huangxinzi, but the herbs used for the experiment were enough, so we didn't pick them.
He has not forgotten the purpose of his coming out this time.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, until the stream could no longer be heard. He guessed that it might have reached the source, so he stopped and walked somewhere.
The trees are dense, making it increasingly difficult to move forward. This is because Chen Yu has mastered his martial arts, otherwise if it had been anyone else, he would still be spinning miles away.
There's no way you can go that deep.
Looking around, he felt that he should be at the bottom of the Baiqi Mountains, some distance away from Qingtai.
Walking through the dense forest, avoiding some poisonous insects with eyesight that is far beyond ordinary people - there are piles of dead branches and leaves under my feet, withered and yellow, and among them are hunters wearing the same color coat.
Chen Yu could dodge as much as he could. If he really didn't pay attention and stepped on the opponent, he could also dodge the opponent's attack with his extremely quick reaction.
Then he was chopped to death with a hatchet.
For most Taoist priests in this world, the law of killing is usually only used on special occasions, not to mention that he is not a serious Taoist priest in the first place.
Naturally, start with certainty and ruthlessness!
Click!
Pushing aside the grass and trees in front of him, a puddle of mud was revealed.
Farther away, two ponds filled with all kinds of rotting matter lay in front of them, with scattered branches scattered on both sides.
Green algae accumulation.
Chen Yu moved forward some distance, and his field of view was much wider again. However, the two rows of trees not far from him were slightly taller, blocking the sunlight, and the current scenery was a bit gloomy.
A swamp hidden in the deep forest emerged.
I didn't take the risk myself. God knows what kind of ferocious beasts are inhabiting this place.
He turned back and searched along both sides of the pond.
After not walking far, the overflowing pond water became clear under the filter of earth, rocks, vegetation and formed a trickle.
Chen Yu paused and looked at the crevice in the rocks not far away. A long, thin thing with several pairs of jaws and whiskers was buried in the water, motionless.
"This is... a loach!"
His eyes lit up, he held his breath unconsciously, slowed down and quietly moved closer to the other party...
