Chu Chen, who had just relaxed, suddenly remembered that he came to the medicine field mainly to identify and manage various elixirs. But next, what should he do?
Chu Chen had a feeling of not knowing where to start. After all, regarding the management of the medicine field, he was a pure newcomer. Senior Qingyue was worried and did not have time to teach him some common knowledge.
Chu Chen could only walk around Elder Lingxin's medicine field, preparing his spirit sense to carefully identify and familiarize himself with the medicinal properties of each elixir and the purity of its spiritual power.
Walking at the edge of the medicine field, near a row of big trees, a few low voices suddenly entered his ears.
"I really don't understand, how could that trash from the outer sect be qualified to enter the medicine field! Back then, I worked hard for Elder Lingyan for a whole six years! In exchange for the identity of a disciple guarding the medicine field! "
"I'm even worse! I gave a few hundred spirit stones from a fortuitous encounter to Elder Lingfeng! A few hundred! It's enough for me to spend for decades! That kid, what kind of luck did he have? "
"Qingyue that girl is still so protective of him, could it be that something shameful happened between the two of them? Tsk tsk — — "
"That kid actually has a good appearance, maybe that old woman like Elder Lingxin likes this kind of fresh and tender little boy."
"Hehe, he's just a trash that relies on hugging someone's leg. He just entered the medicine field and already messed around with the Ancient Blood Orchid. Elder Lingxin is really muddle-headed, allowing her gigolo to recklessly waste natural resources. After the Blood Orchid dies, we'll find the person in charge to report this gigolo and drive him out of the garden. Everyone, remember not to come into contact with him."
"Yes, yes, let's unite and drive this trash away sooner or later!"
… …
Chu Chen was speechless. He really could not understand just how narrow-minded these disciples guarding the medicine garden were!
Without anyone to guide him, he would slowly fumble around. Fortunately, he was not completely unfamiliar with elixirs.
Although he was still a layman in managing the medicine field, he should first familiarize himself with the characteristics of these elixirs. Usually, he was only in contact with first level elixirs, but there were many second level elixirs in this garden, which was a rare opportunity.
Immediately, Chu Chen began to carefully observe the entire medicinal field. The limit of his spiritual sense that he had activated was very small, allowing him to sense the direction of the spiritual energy within the spiritual herbs, and he wouldn't feel tired. Just like that, a day passed unknowingly.
In the evening, when he walked into a shrub in the medicinal forest, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, giving him a fright. When he focused his gaze, an honest-looking disciple with a slightly fearful expression appeared in front of him. He gently gestured for him to keep quiet.
"Shh … Junior Brother Chu, don't be afraid. I'm here to teach you how to cultivate spirit herbs. Don't tell anyone else. The other disciples all want to drive you away. "
The disciple in front of him looked honest and simple, but he seemed to be a little timid. He looked around worriedly, pulled Chu Chen aside, and warned him softly, "Those senior brothers all have some background. They're not to be trifled with. Try not to anger them. Finish your work every day and go back as soon as possible. In Elder Lingxin's medicinal field, they won't dare to do anything to you. But if you leave this place, it's not necessarily the case. So I hope that during your stay in the medicinal field, there won't be any trouble, so that you won't have to suffer. "
"Uh — — Senior brother, thank you." Chu Chen's heart was slightly moved. He felt that this timid senior brother was very kind.
Therefore, the novice Chu Chen followed this senior brother surnamed Tang, carefully listening to his teachings on how to cultivate spirit herbs.
He suddenly discovered that the spirit herbs in the sect were different from the food grown in the secular world. Watering, fertilizing, pruning and loosening the soil were all very different.
First of all, the water used for watering was not ordinary water, but the special spring water from the spiritual spring in the depths of the medicinal field. Moreover, the amount of water needed for each kind of spirit herb, the timing of watering, and the rhythm were all strictly controlled. Only when these details were taken care of to the extreme, the spirit herbs would grow well.
Fertilizing was also different. Fertilizing spirit herbs was not like ordinary farmers who only needed to sprinkle animal feces and urine. The growth of spirit herbs required all kinds of strange fertilizers. Some were cold in nature, so they needed to be sprinkled with crushed ice. Some were strong in nature, so they needed a good red-hot charcoal. There were even a few kinds of spirit herbs that were naturally addicted to gold and iron. Every once in a while, they needed to be fed with a few iron balls for them to "eat".
The pruning of spirit herbs was also a great skill. First of all, the tools used could not be iron scissors, wooden arrows, bamboo scissors. Because these objects contained the qi of the five elements, it would affect the medicinal properties of the spirit herbs. It was necessary to use jade scissors that were not part of the five elements. Moreover, what should be cut, how much should be cut, and how often should be cut. There were strict rules that could not be the slightest mistake.
… …
In this way, after talking for most of the night, senior brother Tang finally finished talking about the things to pay attention to in the medicinal field. At this time, Chu Chen could not help but admire this unprepossessing senior brother in front of him. He was simply a living encyclopedia of the medicinal field. So many tedious and complicated things, but he recorded them all in his mind in a clear and organized manner. It was really too amazing.
Seeing a trace of white appear on the eastern horizon, senior brother Tang patted Chu Chen's shoulder. "You should digest the things I said first. Next time, I'll find an opportunity to explain them to you. Tomorrow, you can start practicing by watering. Remember, don't cause trouble, don't make mistakes, and don't complain. Also, don't tell those disciples guarding the field that I taught you these things, understand? "
Chu Chen nodded. "I remember, senior brother Tang. Thank you very much."
"It's just a small matter. Do your best." Senior brother Tang patted his shoulder and leaped. His speed was extremely fast, almost comparable to the leader of the disciples in the medicinal field they saw during the day. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
Chu Chen was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
Unknowingly, a night had passed. Chu Chen went back to freshen up, meditated for four hours, and hurried back as soon as possible. Senior brother Tang had taught him too many things, so he had to digest them as soon as possible. Moreover, cultivators had strong bodies. Occasionally, they would not feel tired even if they did not sleep for a night.
Once again, he went to the place where the Ancient Blood Orchid was planted to take a look. Sure enough, after a day and a night, the originally dispirited Blood Orchid's luster became much brighter. Using his spiritual sense to sense it, he found that 30% of the cold Yin Qi in the Blood Orchid's body had melted. At this speed, the Blood Orchid could completely survive in less than three days.
After letting out a sigh of relief, Chu Chen found a jade bucket, a jade ladle, and other watering utensils on the side of the medicinal field. Then, he stepped toward the center of the medicinal field.
The closer he walked to the center of the medicinal field, the thicker the spiritual Qi in the void. Chu Chen could not help but have a strong interest in the legendary immortal spring. However, when he was about to reach the medicinal spring, Chu Chen's ears twitched, and he stopped slightly.
