Chu Chen, who felt relaxed, realized at this moment that he came to the medicine field mainly to identify and take care of various elixirs. But what should I do next
Chu Chen suddenly felt like he didn't know where to start. After all, he was a complete newcomer to the management of the medicine garden. Senior Sister Qingyue left worriedly, and she didn't even have time to teach him some common sense about work.
Chu Chen had no choice but to walk around Elder Lingxin's medicinal field, preparing his spiritual sense to carefully identify and become familiar with the medicinal properties, spiritual power and purity of each elixir.
I was walking on the edge of the medicine field, near a row of big trees, when a few muffled voices suddenly reached my ears.
"I really don't understand how that loser from the outer sect is qualified to enter the medicine garden! Back then, I had to work hard for Elder Lingyan for six years! Only then did I get the status of the guardian disciple of the medicine garden!"
"I'm even worse! I gave all the hundreds of spiritual stones I got from an adventure to Elder Lingfeng! Several hundred dollars! It's enough for me to spend decades! What kind of shitty luck did that boy have? "
"That girl Qingyue is still so protective of him. Could it be that something shameful happened between the two of them? Tsk tsk..."
"That boy has a good appearance. Maybe an old woman like Elder Lingxin just likes such a young boy."
"Hehe, he's just a loser who relies on his thighs to make ends meet. He just entered the medicine garden and started messing with the ancient Blood Orchid. Elder Lingxin really lost his mind and allowed his little pretty face to waste everything. After the Blood Orchid dies, we Let’s go to the people in charge to report this pretty boy and drive him out of the garden. Please remember not to have any contact with him.”
"Yeah, let's all unite and drive this trash away sooner or later!"
…
Chu Chen was speechless. I really don’t understand how narrow-minded these disciples who guard the medicine garden are!
There was no one to guide me, so I just groped slowly by myself. Fortunately, I didn’t have any experience with magical medicine.
Although I am still a layman in managing the medicine garden, I must first familiarize myself with the characteristics of these elixirs. I usually come into contact with first-level elixirs, but there are many second-level elixirs in this garden, which is a rare opportunity.
At that moment, Chu Chen carefully observed the entire medicinal field. The amount of spiritual sense he activated was very small, allowing him to sense the direction of the spiritual energy in the elixir without feeling tired. Just like that, before I knew it, the day was almost over.
In the evening, when he walked into a shrub-like medicinal forest, a figure suddenly jumped out in front of him, making him startled. After taking a closer look, a disciple with an honest face and a timid expression appeared in front of him, and made a silent gesture softly:
"Shh... Junior Brother Chu, don't be afraid. I'm here to teach you how to cultivate elixirs. Don't tell others. Several other disciples want to drive you away."
The disciple in front of him had a loyal and simple face, but he seemed a little timid. He looked around uneasily, pulled Chu Chen and warned him softly, "Those senior brothers are all more or less in the background, and they are not easy to mess with. You Try not to offend them, finish your own business every day, and go back quickly. In Elder Lingxin's medicine field, they don't dare to do anything to you, but if you leave this place, it won't be possible. So I hope you will be in the medicine field. Don’t make any mistakes while you’re here, so that you won’t suffer.”
"Uh... Senior brother, thank you." Chu Chen's heart moved slightly, feeling that this timid senior brother was quite kind.
So novice Chu Chen followed this senior brother named Tang and listened carefully to his instructions on how to cultivate elixirs.
Immediately I discovered that the miraculous medicine in the sect is different from growing food in the secular world. Watering, fertilizing, pruning, and soil scarification procedures all vary greatly.
First of all, the water poured here is not ordinary water, but the unique spring water from the spiritual spring deep in the medicine garden. Moreover, the amount of water, watering time and rhythm required for each elixir are strictly controlled. Only by handling these details to the extreme can the elixir grow well.
Applying another fertilizer is no different. It is impossible to apply magic medicine and fertilize by just sprinkling animal excrement like ordinary farmers fertilize. The fertilizers required for the growth of elixirs are all kinds of strange. Some are cold in nature and should be sprinkled with crushed ice cubes when fertilizing. Some are strong in nature and need good red-hot coals. There are even some magical medicines that are naturally addicted to gold and iron. Every once in a while, you have to put a few iron pills in it for it to "eat".
Practicing pruning is also a big question. The first tools to use cannot be iron scissors, wooden arrows, or bamboo scissors. Because these things themselves contain the energy of the five elements, they will affect the medicinal properties of the elixir. You must use jade scissors that are not among the Five Elements. And what should be cut, how much should be cut, and how often. There are strict rules and no mistakes can be made.
…
In this way, after talking for most of the night, Senior Brother Tang finished explaining the things that need to be paid attention to when serving the medicine garden. At this time, Chu Chen couldn't help but admire the humble senior brother in front of him. He is simply a walking encyclopedia of medicinal gardens. He actually recorded so many complicated and complex things in his mind, and it was so organized. It was really amazing.
Seeing a hint of fish belly white on the eastern horizon, Senior Brother Tang patted Chu Chen on the shoulder: "You should digest these things I said first. Next time, I will find an opportunity to answer them for you. Tomorrow Just start practicing with watering. Remember, don’t cause trouble, don’t make mistakes, and don’t complain. Also, don’t tell the garden-guarding disciples that I taught you these things.”
Chu Chen nodded: "Remember, Senior Brother Tang, thank you very much."
"It's just a small matter, come on." Senior Brother Tang patted him on the shoulder and swung forward. His speed was extremely fast. He was almost as fast as the leader of the Medicine Garden disciples he saw during the day. In just the blink of an eye, he was Disappear.
Chu Chen was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
Unconsciously, it passed **. Chu Chen went back to freshen up, meditated and adjusted his breath for two hours, and then hurried back as early as possible. Senior Brother Tang taught him too much, and he had to digest it as soon as possible. Moreover, practitioners who are physically strong will not feel tired even if they stay awake occasionally.
I went to see the place where the ancient blood orchid was planted again. Sure enough, after a day of exercise, the originally sluggish Xuelan's body became much brighter. I sensed it with my spiritual sense and found that the cold and cold air in this blood orchid had melted away by 30%. At this rate, this blood orchid will be fully alive in less than three days.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Chu Chen found jade buckets, jade ladles and other watering utensils on the side of the medicine field, and walked towards the center of the medicine garden.
As he walked toward the center of the medicine garden, the aura in the void became thicker, making Chu Chen's heart involuntarily arouse a strong interest in the legendary fairy spring. Just as he was about to reach the medicine spring, Chu Chen's ears twitched and he stopped slightly.
Not far away, several shouts and curses, with harsh and sharp tones, reached his ears.
