Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 24 Harvesting Spiritual Plants

Chapter 24 Harvesting Spiritual Plants
Sect leaders like Zhenyang who had disciples received the detailed news after the elders.

"Since your disciple won't go, then you should go. The situation is serious, and your useless disciple's going would only lead to more casualties. Get ready to go."

The words of the elder who taught him the skills were still fresh in his mind. Before leaving, Zhenyang found his second disciple and asked him briefly, "I heard that Jian'er has been studying with you these days?"

Ma Yihong nodded and said, "Junior brother has picked up the skills very quickly. I've allocated a piece of spiritual farmland for him to tend, and we're almost ready to harvest the first batch of spiritual plants."

"That's good." Zhen Yang sighed in relief. "Having a skill will at least keep him from being abandoned by the sect. Teach him well. You should support each other in the future."

"Disciple knows." Ma Yihong stared at her master, worry visible on her round face. "Master, are you going to join us during this rotation?"

Zhen Yang was silent for a moment, then patted his second disciple's head and said, "I will be back."

Ma Yihong hid the trembling tears in the corners of her eyes and nodded firmly in agreement, "When the time comes, I will take my junior brother to Zhoushan to wait for Master's triumphant return."

"Don't worry." Zhen Yang patted his second disciple's shoulder again, "I will definitely come back! I haven't even graduated yet, and I'm still waiting for his graduation wine."

"Woo~"

When the low and melodious sect assembly call sounded, Zhenyang no longer looked back.

"I'm leaving. Don't tell them where I've been. Focus on your training and wait for me to come back!"

……

Linjian and Chunxue stood side by side on the top of the mountain, watching the spaceship full of monks slowly float past their heads, then gradually accelerate and gradually turn into a cloud of smoke across the sky.

"They set off." Lin Jian said with a sigh.

"You seem quite regretful?"

“Actually, I want to go too…”

Only those disciples of Zhengyang Sect who have passed the test of Tianyuan Demonic Crack can be considered as true sword cultivators.

It is not only for the purpose of continuing to obtain the next step of inheritance and training, but also for... exorcising demons.

Eliminating demons is meaningful in itself.

I vaguely remember that when I first came to this world of cultivating immortals, the first monster I ran into was a mountain spirit that was possessed by demonic energy.

If Zhen Yang Zhenren had not arrived in time, the entire village where he was would have been destroyed by the invasion of monsters.

Unfortunately, he is not ready yet.

Lin Jian turned his head and no longer looked at the spaceship that had flown away.

"It's time to harvest the vegetables."

The so-called age of a spiritual plant refers to its effectiveness.

Under natural growth conditions, wild spiritual plants do indeed require a sufficiently long time to reach the required medicinal effectiveness.

But humans always have enough talent in farming.

Under the accelerated catalysis of the spiritual field, everything from last week can become that of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

How old do you want it? It doesn't matter. Just smash it into the spirit stone to activate the magic circle to speed it up.

Is one year enough? Are two years enough? Are ten years enough?

Add me!
In fact, this is the real bulk of the cost in spiritual plant cultivation, but it was covered by my senior sister in the forest.

It is precisely because of this wild growth that goes far beyond the natural environment that the constant care of the growers becomes increasingly important.

After all, a nap for the spiritual plant may have been hundreds of days and nights.

These days, while planting the three kinds of medicinal materials he needed, Lin Jian felt a sense of mission similar to when he used to get up in the middle of the night while playing on the farm, fearing that his vegetables would be stolen.

And today, it is finally time to harvest.

This was the first time in the junior brother's life that he had planted a spiritual plant from start to finish with his own hands. The second senior sister, who was always busy, seemed to have made time to come and watch from the side.

Seeing Lin Jian going to the fields, Senior Sister Ma put her hands in her pockets and said clearly, "Then let me ask you, how many basic ways are there to pick spiritual plants?"

"Four kinds," Lin Jian replied, "Spirit, jade, wood, and iron."

Most spiritual plants can be picked, harvested, and stored with iron tools, so they're not that expensive. However, some spiritual plants are more delicate, and if they come into contact with something they don't want to touch, they'll die instantly.

Wooden products and jade articles are the most common items for harvesting and storing this type of spiritual plants.

Some more extreme ones cannot touch any worldly things at all, and can only be picked and harvested from a distance by monks using spiritual energy.

As for storage? Forget it.

Either use it as medicine directly on the spot, or swallow it in one gulp while it's fresh. It's authentic.

The Lingyuan grass and Qingyun grass currently planted in the forest do not need special treatment. These medicinal materials can be grown and picked by mortals and do not require any technical skills.

Only the main ingredient, the Star Flower... grows only at night. The petals, which absorb the power of the stars, must be placed in a jade container once picked, and the storage time is only three days.

After three days, the petals will become dry and hard. Although they are also another kind of medicinal ingredient, they obviously no longer meet the requirement of "freshness" in the pill recipe proposed by Chunxue.

Fortunately, Lin Jian has been practicing his Qi control these days, and the entire harvesting process was orderly and extremely patient.

The greatest effort in planting has been put in in the early stages. If the harvest is reduced due to the desire for quick success and instant benefits at the final harvest, the people in the forest will laugh at him for the rest of his life.

Final output:
Three-year-old Lingyuan grass, thirty taels;

Five-year-old Qingyun grass, 23 liang;
Fresh twenty-year-old star flower, fifteen taels.

Without spending a single spirit stone, he gained far more medicinal materials than he could have bought with all his wealth.

Senior Sister Ma looked at it with satisfaction, her eyes slightly red, "Not bad."

"Sister, why are you crying?"

"Happy for you."

"Senior sister is the best! I'll make something delicious for you to try later!" Lin Jian was eager to run away with Chunxue while holding the things.

Now that you have what you need, why not hurry up and make the elixir to join the ranks of geniuses? What are you waiting for?
Senior Sister Ma took two steps after him, worried, "Where are you going?"

"Refine the elixir!" Lin Jian waved his hand without turning his head.

Looking at the little apprentice brother running away in a hurry, Senior Sister Ma pressed the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "He really learned something. It's no wonder that Senior Brother's furnace exploded..."

……

Lin Jian, who was running on the road, was a little confused. "Do you still want to harm the eldest brother's furnace?"

"..."

“Will it explode this time?”

"..."

"Wai Wai Wai Wai?"

“Ah?” Haruyuki, who had been in a daze since the Holy Land Order sounded, finally realized what was happening. “Are you talking to me?”

"Is there anyone else here?"

"Oh~" Haruyuki nodded cutely, "I don't know."

"do not know?!"

"do not know."

"Then don't bring disaster to Senior Brother..."
