"I said, you guys are really bad at growing herbal medicine!" Ye Zan said unceremoniously.
"Ah?" Elder Mo turned his head and looked around, looking at the vibrant medicinal fields, and asked with confusion: "Is there any problem with this? It looks pretty good to me."
"You think it's pretty good to be alive, right?" Ye Zan replied mockingly.
Elder Mo blushed and stopped talking. He was an amateur at refining alchemy, and he was equally ignorant at growing herbs. So at this time, it is better to say less, otherwise you will be laughed at and have nothing to say. After all, the person in front of you is the great uncle of the Supreme Master.
This time, Liu Qian didn't feel offended. He was not good at growing herbs either. What's more, he was now asking for help from Ye Zan, so he naturally had to maintain a correct attitude when asking for help from others, so he asked with a smile on his face: "It makes fellow Daoist Ye laugh. We are not spiritual planters after all. If we do something wrong, what should we do?" I hope fellow Taoists can give me more advice.”
Planting herbs is not about growing grains and vegetables. It does not mean that just finding a few old farmers can make herbs thrive. Different herbs have different environmental requirements and require different planting methods.
Therefore, in this world, there is a single inheritance for growing herbal medicine, which is called spiritual planter. A true spiritual planter has special spells for planting, promoting the growth of herbs, eliminating insects and diseases, and improving the level of herbs. It is said that top spiritual planters can even "dialogue" with herbs, understand all the changing needs of herbs, and can cultivate ordinary herbs into spiritual herbs.
It can be said that the Jade Qing Sect back then had no shortage of spiritual plant masters, but this is not the same as it used to be. The Yuqing Sect, which has now fallen into the third-rate, can find an alchemy master like Liu Qian mainly because Liu Qian is actually a casual cultivator. Spiritual planters are very dependent on sects. There are almost no casual spiritual planters in the entire Shenhua Domain. If you want to poach people from those sects, you don't have to think about it based on the conditions of Yuqing Sect.
Of course, there are indeed people who are dissatisfied with Ye Zan's words, and that is Liu Qian's eldest disciple Li Yuanshan. In fact, Li Yuanshan was in charge of these medicinal fields in the Alchemy Hall. Naturally, Li Yuanshan was a little embarrassed when he said that the medicinal herbs were not grown well. Fortunately, Li Yuanshan is a smart person, and since the teacher's attitude is like that, he will not be stupid enough to jump out.
However, even if he doesn't show it, he still feels unhappy inside. Li Yuanshan has managed the medicine field for so long, and he thinks that even if he is not a spiritual planter, he at least has some experience. If the young uncle made some mistakes, he wouldn't mind a "kind" reminder.
Ye Zan didn't know what these people were thinking, and of course he didn't care what these people were thinking. He had regarded Yuqing Sect as his own territory, which naturally included these medicinal fields. Isn't it normal for one's own fields to be cultivated unsatisfactorily and to report it to the tenant farmers so that they can improve it
"Go and find me a book on herbal medicine first." Ye Zan said without any embarrassment on his face. There was nothing he could do. Although he had obtained a lot of information about the herbs through tasting hundreds of herbs, he still had to match the known information with the names of the herbs. He couldn't tell them the names he named them.
Well!
Everyone was speechless.
If a person identifies herbal medicines, he needs to read a book and compare them. Who would believe him if he says he can grow good herbal medicines
However, Elder Mo and Liu Qian immediately remembered the time when Ye Zan asked about the names of the herbs in the alchemy room. I also don’t know the name of the herbal medicine, but I have successfully prepared the best Qi Refining Pill and figured out how to prepare it.
Thinking of this, Liu Qian was not so surprised. He turned to his disciple Li Yuanshan and said: "Yuanshan, go to the master's study and take in the book of hundreds of sketches."
"Yes, teacher!" Li Yuanshan naturally did not dare to neglect, turned around and went straight to the alchemy hall on the top of the mountain.
Li Yuanshan was in the foundation-building stage, and he could perform his physical skills very quickly. He ran back and forth in the blink of an eye, holding a thick book in his hand.
Ye Zan took the book and flipped through it quickly, his eyes staying on each page for less than a second. Reading through it so quickly made everyone around him stunned again, wondering whether Ye Zan was really reading, or just to listen to the "clatter" sound.
How did they know that in less than a second, the content on the book page was complete, recorded by Ye Zan's auxiliary brain, and stored in the already established database.
After a while, the book was turned over. Ye Zan closed the book and handed it back to Li Yuanshan.
"Junior brother, this is..." Elder Mo asked curiously, wanting to know what the meaning of such a short time was to Ye Zan.
"Uh-huh," Ye Zan coughed lightly, and then said, "Didn't you ask how this herb is growing? Then I'll tell you about the problem here."
"Let's talk about the place in front of you first. Look at the fire cloud grass. Do you see the white silk web on the plant? No, no, this is not a web made by a spider, but a fungus. I don't know what a fungus is! Do you know about mushrooms? In short, this kind of thing is like a vine wrapped around a tree. It grows by absorbing nutrients from the plants. If you look at the entire field, almost all the plants are infected. Although the harvest will not be lost if this continues, the efficacy of the medicine will definitely be weak. a lot of."
"And here, have you seen the yellow edges on the leaves? This is not yellow due to lack of water. On the contrary, you watered too frequently. Also, the plants in these fields are all infested with insects. Don’t you know how to get rid of insects? Look at this, you don’t know, you think you are raising insects.”
"Black-hearted grass likes shade but not sunshine. You know, it's not bad to build a shed. But the growth of black-hearted grass also has requirements for the ambient temperature. Your shed is so stuffy that it is simply a big steamer."
"besides… "
Ye Zan said as he walked, it was like an agricultural expert going to the countryside, with Elder Mo, Liu Qian, Li Yuanshan and others following behind him.
Gradually, with Ye Zan's comments, everyone walked through more than half of the medicinal field. Almost every medicinal field has problems of one kind or another, which makes Liu Qian and Li Yuanshan look unhappy. They feel that they have done a pretty good job, but they are judged as worthless by others. Who would they replace them with? I won't feel comfortable either.
However, Liu Qian no longer lost his temper. He rolled his eyes and suddenly said to Ye Zan and Elder Mo: "Fellow Daoist Ye, we are not spiritual planters after all, and we have always been incapable of caring for the medicinal field. Since Fellow Daoist Ye is so proficient, I am willing to abdicate and give up my position as the leader of the hall. I don’t know what your wishes are. What do you think, Brother Dao Mo?”
If Liu Gan hadn't said it sincerely, people might have thought that he was angry and wanted to give up. When Elder Mo saw that Liu Qian's expression didn't seem to be fake, he immediately felt that the proposal was good. The key was that he knew that there was Patriarch Xuanyuan behind Ye Zan. Regardless of whether Ye Zan is capable or not, Patriarch Xuanyuan is definitely omnipotent, so why not worry about handing over the Alchemy Hall to Ye Zan.
It's really shameless. If I had told you earlier, why would I have to waste so much saliva!
Ye Zan said so much, of course, not just to make them blush, but because he really wanted to do a good job in this medicine field. Although he is not a spiritual planter, let alone the methods of a spiritual planter, but with the power of technology, it is not difficult to grow herbs well.
