"Well, if you want to come, just come." Qing Yue waved her hand. She took the lead and walked forward. As she walked, she said to Chu Chen, "There are some rules in the herb garden that you should know. The entire herb garden is divided into many areas. Every elder has their own area. You've been here for the past few days to take care of Elder Lingxin's herb field. "
Qing Yue said and gestured, "Do you see it? From there, to the tree, to the bluestone, this medicinal field belonged to Elder Lingxin. Elder Lingxin is a famous alchemist in the sect, so her herb garden area is relatively large. The other herb gardens belong to other elders. Don't break in, or it will be bad if you break the taboo. "
As Qing Yue said, she marked out an area of about four or five acres and showed it to Chu Chen. This herb garden had the most complicated topography in the entire herb garden. Elixirs, herbs, fruits, rattan, and so on were all available. It was an eye-opener for Chu Chen.
"In the past, I was the one who took care of this medicinal field. But recently my cultivation has reached a critical juncture, so I can't delay it. Elder Lingxin couldn't find a suitable person in such a short time, so she asked you to come. You will have to work hard for a few days. "
"Senior Sister, don't say that. Identifying elixirs is the basic skill of a alchemist. Even if Elder Lingxin didn't ask me to come to the herb garden to take a look," Chu Chen quickly said with a smile.
"Well, it's good that you have such a thought." Qing Yue nodded.
The place where the Ancient Blood Orchid was located was an extremely secluded and cold place. It was the back of a towering tree, which was close to the edge of Elder Lingxin's herb garden. This tree had luxuriant branches and leaves, and layers of treetops covered all the sky, making this place as cold and dark as a cave, without a trace of sunlight.
"In this place, without sunlight, can you grow elixirs?" Chu Chen looked around at the dark space and asked subconsciously.
"The Ancient Blood Orchid is a unique elixir of the underground world. It was discovered by the elders of the sect in an underground relic. It was born with cold yin characteristics and cannot stand yang qi — — Here it is." Senior Sister Qing Yue stopped in front of an elixir and pointed to the front.
In front of them was a strange herb that was dark red like blood, with a few shaky leaves drooping weakly. The herb was about three feet tall, dark and dull. The flower buds at the top of the herb were tightly curled into a ball, the edges of the branches and leaves were faintly yellow.
Chu Chen furrowed his brows. At this time, he had already opened his spiritual awareness. In his senses, the spiritual energy in this Blood Orchid was extremely scarce. Between the branches and leaves, there were many stem veins that could not be unblocked, causing the whole herb to be lifeless, without any vitality.
This herb exuded a faint ancient aura, similar to the aura of gods and demons on the ancient Immortal mountains. Although it was far from being comparable, but it seems that this Blood Orchid was a genuine ancient object.
"When this Blood Orchid was brought back from the dark underground world, it grew well, but later, with the appearance of the flower buds, it gradually wilted. Elder Lingxin looked up a lot of information but could not find the reason. Such an ancient spiritual object has been extinct for many years, there are no records of it. " Qing Yue sighed, her elegant and gentle face suddenly revealed a touch of sadness. "By chance, I obtained this peerless elixir, but I can't find the reason why it wilted — —"
She looked at the elixir, as if thinking of something, and was somewhat disappointed.
"Senior sister, perhaps, I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work." After a moment of silence, Chu Chen said softly.
"What???" Qing Yue was taken aback, her eyes widened, looking at him in disbelief.
"Before adopting this method, can I ask senior sister Qing Yue …" Chu Chen scratched his head, "Can I dispose of this Blood Orchid at will?"
"Dispose at will?" Qing Yue gently pursed her lips, "As long as … as long as you really want to save this Blood Orchid, you can do anything."
"What if I accidentally kill the Blood Orchid?"
"Just treat a dead horse as a living horse! Even if you don't do this, this Blood Orchid will not live for more than two days. " The gentle Qing Yue was also a straightforward person, she was ready to see what Chu Chen was up to.
"Very good." Chu Chen nodded, then found a shovel in the medicine field, and quickly walked towards the dying Blood Orchid.
"What are you doing?" Although Qing Yue said that the Blood Orchid was at Chu Chen's disposal, but she felt that the situation was not obviously wrong.
"Dig it out."
Biquan Xianzong's disciples have been collecting herbs in the wild all year round. They are not good at other things, but they are familiar with digging herbs.
Chu Chen did not wait for Qing Yue to react, his hand raised the shovel, and after several shovels, the dying Blood Orchid was dug out along with a small clump of soil.
"This … this …" Qing Yue stared dumbfoundedly at her junior brother. How is this saving the Blood Orchid, this is simply killing it.
Chu Chen looked up at the sky, then silently calculated something. Finally, he brought the ancient Blood Orchid to the other end of the medicine field, to the side of the big green rock where the sun was the strongest. A few shovels dug out the soil, buried the Blood Orchid, and pressed the soil tightly.
As the saying goes, a man moves his nest to live, and a tree moves its nest to die. Qing Yue found that after such a struggle, coupled with Chu Chen's rough technique, the originally dispirited Blood Orchid suddenly became even more dispirited. The remaining few leaves were lonely like candles in the wind, as if they would fall out at any time.
"Junior Brother Chu, you actually transplanted the ancient Blood Orchid to the place where the sun is the strongest. It … it comes from underground, and it is the most afraid of light!"
Qing Yue did not know whether to laugh or cry. She regretted letting her junior brother do whatever he wanted. If Elder Lingxin knew that her Blood Orchid would die in this way, she would probably blame Chu Chen.
"Senior Sister Qing Yue, just believe me this time. Anyway, you said that it's a last resort." Chu Chen, who was covered in mud, smiled.
"This … Okay, I believe Junior Brother Chu." Qing Yue's temperament was gentle, and she rarely blamed people. She had already decided that if Elder Lingxin came down, she would bear it alone.
"Senior Sister Qing Yue, come again in a few days. Maybe there will be a good result."
"I hope … so."
Qing Yue felt even more uneasy, but she did not say much. She sighed and left the herb garden to return to You Leng Valley.
Of course, Chu Chen did not do this because he was messing around.
It was because he used his spiritual sense to check that many of the stem vessels in the Blood Orchid's body were blocked and could not be unblocked because the Yin Qi was too strong. His spiritual sense as a Great Master made him instinctively think that the Yin Qi should be dissolved by the Yang Qi.
Moreover, when he used his spiritual sense to check the structure of this Blood Orchid, he found that it was actually not afraid of sunlight. The pharmacists, including Elder Lingxin, might have misunderstood. All the plants in the underground world were afraid of sunlight, let alone the Blood Orchid.
Chu Chen sat on the big green rock and kept observing the Blood Orchid that he moved over. In the blink of an eye, a few hours had passed. When he opened his spiritual sense to check, he could already feel that the Yin Qi blocked in the Blood Orchid's body was gradually melting and dissolving. Only then did a smile appear on his face.
