Since he failed to catch snakeheaded fish and even had no fish for several hours, Chen Yu put all the remaining earthworms in the bamboo tube into the vegetable garden as soon as possible after returning yesterday - waiting for the next time of wild fishing.
Take.
The medicinal seeds cultivated in the jar showed no movement, but the grain seeds on the wooden board had sprouted new shoots in the past few days, and were tender and green with a touch of snowy white.
However, upon closer inspection, I found that except for spring millet, the other three grains were stillborn and failed to germinate.
Fortunately, he had expected this. Generally speaking, autumn sword wheat and Changbai millet are sown in summer. It is normal for them not to germinate at this time. Jinyang rice is precious and requires a lot of fertility. So he dug it at will in advance.
It is not strange that ordinary soil cannot grow.
In the end, only Chunmao survives.
Huh?
At this time, Chen Yu, who was squatting by the wooden board and looking at it, unexpectedly discovered that only the part where the spiritual fluid was poured out seemed to have grown, while the wooden board catalyzed by the spiritual machine was as motionless as the medicinal seeds.
Looking at the third piece without any addition, it was also quiet. Looking closer, I found a slender bud pulled out from a corner.
But...this seems to be Jinyang rice?
The seedlings of the four types of grain seeds are different. When Chen Yu got the grain seeds, he had carefully consulted Uncle Liu. So he couldn't make a mistake at this moment.
So this should be just an accident. After all, I sprinkled a lot of it, but now only one has sprouted, which shows that most Jinyang rice is still not used to this poor soil.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the other two wooden boards with completely different views.
Is it possible that the catalytic effect of spiritual machine is not as good as that of spiritual liquid?
But when he thought about the clever ideas he had used in the medicine field before, he felt that this possibility was unlikely. Maybe there were other reasons.
Then Chen Yu remembered that the spring millet in the half of the mountain field outside the Taoist temple seemed to have been sown two days earlier, but at this time, it still did not sprout as much as on the wooden board in front of him.
So, spiritual fluid can speed up plant growth?
Vaguely, he felt that even if the spiritual liquid was inferior in catalytic effect, its ability to speed up the growth of grain seeds was enough to attract attention.
There are only so many inspirations, and it takes a lot of effort to dig them out every time. Unlike spiritual liquid, as long as you plant some Yuanling roots in the medicine field, you can produce a lot.
If you dilute it with water again, use it to water the spring millet in that mountain field...
Chen Yu suppressed his thoughts that were about to move and focused his attention on the present.
Whether the spiritual liquid can speed up ripening is just a guess. At least it will not be confirmed until the growth status of the spring millet in the wooden board is reflected.
Furthermore, Brother Ji must have a taste of this mutated plant watered by spiritual liquid first.
Spiritual liquid is harmless, and spring millet is also harmless, but who can be sure that the combination of the two will not cause some moths.
But having said that, if everything turns out to be a good thing in the end, doesn't that mean he has really grown a new variety of food?
Thinking of the wish I made a long time ago, half an acre of square field lost a thousand pounds, now it seems that it may really come true.
…
Various experiments are carried out in an orderly manner, and a lot of Lingjie Lingye has been put in. Herbs, herbs, grains, vegetables, etc. have all been included in the scope of observation.
Chen Yu didn't bother to keep an eye on him. He was the only one on the mountain, and most of them were stored in the courtyard and utility room. The medicinal fields were idle. Even if the greedy deer came over to cross the fence and wanted to eat, it would be useless.
eat.
He washed and mashed the reed ginseng and prepared it into a plaster based on his last experience. Worried about the potency evaporating, he divided the seven short ginseng plants into three batches and prepared about three tubes at a time, which was enough for six or seven days.
As for the Codonopsis pilosula seedling that withered after being simply transplanted, fortunately, it was saved with spiritual liquid in the end and did not die.
In addition, six large mountain crabs were jumped out of the water tank and steamed. The crab roe was tender and refreshing.
As for the remaining loaches and crabs, Chen Yu kept them in the tank. He also took the time to go to the mountain to select a basket of stones, and chopped a few bamboo tubes to build a temporary shelter for these food reserves.
It's a pity that the water needs to be changed every three or two days, especially the loach has extremely high requirements for water quality and will turn its belly frequently.
The loaches were placed in the smallest of the four tanks, one large, three small, and there were stones on the bottom and a layer of soft mud for them to dig into.
As for eating... seven loaches are still a bit too much, so Chen Yu plans to cut down a few more in the near future, otherwise there will be almost not enough earthworms in the garden.
Besides, he had never cared so much about Mr. Dao Zu. He accidentally forgot to offer incense two days ago.
In fact, it didn't last long, it was just a casual thing to relax myself.
During this period of time, Chen Yu did not only do these things, he also did not relax in his martial arts. After taking the Baiyun Powder that he had made before, it goes without saying that he became more energetic. Even without the aid of many medicinal powders, he now has the spirit liquid in his mouth every day.
After practicing the method, the liver organ becomes stronger and stronger, not to mention that the reed ginseng ointment is fully prepared, and the daily exercise has been adjusted from twenty-five rounds to thirty-six rounds. According to the current speed, it is estimated that I will wait until I go down the mountain to participate.
By the time Jiu Qi Guang Sheng performed all kinds of Dharma, he had already achieved a small degree of mastery of energy.
This progress even shocked him.
Maybe, the spiritual liquid can also improve physical fitness.
Although it was just a guess, he felt in his heart that it was extremely possible, otherwise he would not have grown from an ordinary person with no strength to where he is now in just a few months.
You know, even if Qian Xuanzhong studied martial arts since childhood and practiced martial arts for several years since he was a child, he is still stuck on the threshold of becoming a minor.
Of course, realms are realms, and who is stronger and who is weaker will have to fight with real swords and guns in the final analysis.
Among martial artists, apart from the third level determined by applying strength and the top level by exerting strength externally, most of the other levels are achieved by relying on real skills.
The louder the name, the more people come and challenge you.
Speaking of the Tsing Yi sword, Chen Yu remembered that the other party also gave him two items at that time, a small antique bronze sword with exquisite workmanship, and a bag of yangzi.
Zhongyangzi has been processed and cannot be transplanted and cultivated like Codonopsis pilosula.
"It's a pity that Qiyang is in Yunzhou and is too far away from Xizhou."
Otherwise, he really wanted to visit the other party this time when he went down the mountain. But he couldn't say for sure. After all, less than twenty days had passed since Liu Bao was killed. Considering that the other party wanted to experience the four directions, he might not have left Guangyong Mansion.
And if he hadn't left, then he would definitely not miss the next Taoist grand event - not to mention that when similar events are held in this world, there is a tradition of contesting heroes and promoting fame.
Probably by then a group of martial arts knights and martial artists will arrive to join in the fun.
The rituals are still going on for a while, and the rest are just trivial matters. What really deserves Chen Yu's attention are the recent subtle changes.
The effect of soul-calling and strengthening the body is not as good as before.
It's not that you want to be relatively weaker after your own improvement, but that the effectiveness of this method, which is specifically designed to stimulate the liver to improve the ability to absorb spiritual liquid, is weakening.
The last time he was obviously noticed was one morning a few days ago. At that time, he drank the spiritual liquid and swallowed a mouthful of reed ginseng paste as usual, and immediately performed thirty-six rounds of power.
However, the effect was somewhat reduced.
The liver is still stimulated, but less of the spiritual fluid in the abdominal intestines and stomach is differentiated and absorbed.
Taken together, one exercise today is only worth about 10% of what it would be like to practice Yunhe Gong.
Thirty-six times later, almost one complete Yunhe Gong handling practice has been missed.
Fortunately, the degree of weakening is not high and does not affect normal practice. However, according to his estimation, if this weakening continues like this, it may become extremely difficult for him to absorb the spiritual fluid in the end.
At this point, Chen Yu couldn't help but recall that a certain earthworm he once experimented with also became stronger after being contaminated with spiritual fluid, but it stopped absorbing it after a few drops.
The limit?
He didn't know that this might really have reached the upper limit of human body's absorption, but whether there was a way to solve it became the biggest problem.
It was necessary to prepare for a rainy day. Even though he could still absorb the spiritual liquid and the speed was generally not slow, now that there were signs, he would not wait around.
Chen Yu has been paying attention to this matter recently, and has been gathering various objects at hand, including those mutated plants and vegetables that have been catalyzed by spiritual inspiration.
The vegetable garden was turned over again, and the earthworms that had just been home for a few days were dug out again.
Maybe he was just lucky. Chen Yu, who originally didn't have much hope, actually made a new discovery in this pile of things.
Especially Qinglinggen, which had been put aside, gave him a big surprise.
