"To be honest with my Taoist friends, the durian thorn fruit forest in our sect is sick. In the past hundreds of thousands of years, it has not produced ninth-level fruits, and there are very few even eighth-level fruits. Therefore, these two Only, it’s only level seven——" Elder Guiliang felt a little embarrassed, and then immediately added:
"Although it is only a seventh-level spiritual fruit now, the effect of replenishing spiritual power is still good. Let a few Taoists try it -"
"Okay -, okay!" Yan Feiyue found that she was stuttering a little, mainly because she was too happy.
"Elder Gui, Taoist companions and I have some experience in the cultivation of spiritual plants. I wonder if you can check out the durian thorn fruit forest here?" Wei Sheng Suwen is worthy of being a great steward for several people, and he has already begun to help everyone benefit. .
Guiliang was overjoyed. He didn't know it before, but now he knew how to miss it. He quickly said: "It would be great if a few adults are willing to take action!"
Although Guichang Sect is only a fourth-rate sect, it was also a top-ranked fourth-rate sect tens of thousands of years ago. The reason why it is now down to thirty-sixth is all because of something wrong with their specialty, the durian thorn fruit. If you can't grow ninth-level spiritual fruit, you will naturally lose the opportunity to trade with first-rate sects and second-rate sects.
The fewer and fewer eighth-level spiritual fruits have caused Guichang Sect to gradually lose the cooperation between the second-rate and third-rate sects. If things go on like this, it will be a matter of time before Guichang Sect is transferred to the last place.
"It's just that after the problem is solved, we want a tree with level 9 durian thorns, or two trees with level 8 durian thorns. Elder Gui looks at it -" Weisheng Suwen guessed that the other party would not refuse, so he said made his own demands.
"As long as you can cure the durian thorn fruit tree, I, Guichangmen, are willing to use two ninth-level fruit trees as reward." Elder Guiliang was excited. This medical fee is an easy thing for them.
It is not that Guichang Sect has not found powerful spiritual planters over the years. They can barely afford to hire an eighth-level spiritual planter, but hiring a ninth-level spiritual planter is not a question of whether to hire one or not.
If they want a ninth-level spiritual planter to take action, the reward for a sect like them, which has been reduced to the bottom fourteen, will have two endings. One is that the sect will go bankrupt, and the other is to cede two-thirds of the durians. Thornberry tree.
Option one, although the ninth-level fruit tree can be cured, the thousand years of waiting for the spiritual fruit to mature is something that the impoverished Guichangmen cannot afford to wait!
Option two, durian thorns will not be their specialty. Even as time goes by, the ninth-level fruit trees may be monopolized by the top sects. How will such a result be different from now.
Therefore, the significance of choosing Guichangmen or not is not big at all. It is better not to make a choice.
The few adults who came today did not covet all the cultivation resources of Guichangmen, nor did they ask for more than half of the spiritual fruit trees. They only wanted two ninth-level durian thorn fruit trees. You must know that after the fruit trees are healed, It will take not even a thousand years for the fruit to mature.
Nowadays, the demands of several adults are like pie in the sky, and they, Guichangmen, are bound to eat this pie.
"The adults will have a good rest today. I will pick them up and go to the orchard tomorrow -" Guiliang cautiously tried, fearing that these adults would suddenly regret it and their Guichangmen would lose more than they gained.
"Then I'll trouble Elder Gui to come back tomorrow -" Tong Yi said with a smile and nodded.
Guiliang got the affirmative answer and left happily.
When Yan Feiyue saw that the person had really left, she immediately said with a smile on her face, "I'll be the first one!"
"I'll drive the second one!" Loongson immediately echoed.
"We're in for a treat today -" Although Shen Tuqi doesn't like durian too much, he definitely doesn't hate it either.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, both of them have six rooms, so one person has two rooms." After Yan Feiyue counted, he started to move cleanly, starting from the opening, and opened it one by one.
Tong Yi was very cooperative. She took out six crystal plates and spoons from the storage ring, and divided the fruit flesh between the two of them. There were three pieces of meat in one room, and each person got six pieces.
"It's delicious. It's so fragrant. The variety in the world of cultivation is good. The pulp is as big as a fist and the core is as big as a broad bean." Loongxin picked up his portion and took a spoonful to see it all.
"Ah Yue, as soon as you finish eating, you will absorb this seventh-level demon elixir. The effects will be superimposed. Your cultivation should improve." Tong Yi was not in a hurry to eat, but took her own The demon pill that had been put away earlier was handed to Yan Feiyue.
"I will stay to protect the law tomorrow. After you finish healing the fruit trees, A Yue's practice should be almost over, and we can set off for the second mission -" Qi Guanyu looked at a few people, arranged.
"Okay-" The arrangement was reasonable, and several people had no objections and answered in unison.
After enjoying the delicious food, the group of people went back to their respective rooms. Although they did not absorb the demon pill, today's durian thorn fruit was indeed a great tonic and they needed to be digested.
The next day, Longxin and Shen Tuqi, who had nothing to do, decided to follow Tong Yi and Weisheng Suwen to the orchard to see the excitement.
Under the leadership of Elder Guiliang, several people came from the outermost guest peak to a peak behind the main peak. The flying boat landed on the top of the peak. Elder Guiliang invited several people to disembark.
Godson is in the modern mainland. Although I have never seen a real durian tree, I have seen a lot of short videos on the Internet. I still know about things like four or five stories high and throwing spiked balls at high altitudes, so I am very familiar with Gui. The durian trees in Changmen are full of question marks.
Of course, Tong Yi also had doubts. She looked at the fruit trees as tall as herself and found them very strange. She couldn't help but ask: "Elder Gui, are your durian trees always only this tall?"
"Sir, it has always been this high. The area we are standing in now is the seventh-level spiritual fruit. In front of it are the eighth-level and ninth-level areas-" Elder Guiliang introduced.
Wei Sheng Suwen pushed aside the leaves and saw the fruit hidden underneath. It was already the size of a football. He sighed in his heart that it was worthy of the world of cultivation. Looking at the appearance of the fruit, it seemed that it had grown for more than six hundred years.
"These seventh-level fruit trees will be mature in the next summer -" Elder Guiliang proudly introduced, who knows that durian thorn fruit is their specialty of Guichangmen! Therefore, I have great experience in cultivating spiritual fruits and can ensure that there is no shortage of supplies every summer.
"Let me check the soil here first -" Wei Sheng Suwen said, squatting down, his palms directly touching the earth, mobilizing the earth elements in the Dantian, and penetrating deeper into the place bit by bit.
The deeper he probed, Wei Sheng Suwen discovered the difference. He stood up, clapped his hands, and said to several people: "Let's go to the eighth and ninth levels to take a look and verify my guess. .”
After Wei Sheng finished speaking, he didn't need Elder Guiliang to lead the way. He walked forward directly, then continued to squat down and repeat the action just now.
It's just that the difference between this time and the seventh-level area just now is obviously obvious. If the area just now was barely normal, then the soil in this area is obviously out of balance.
The surface soil in the seventh-level area has equal pH and is in a neutral state; but a little further down, the soil is in a weakly acidic state; further down, the soil reaches acidity; and the deeper the tree roots touch, It's already in a strong acid state.
Compared with the soil in the seventh-level area, the soil in the eighth-level area has lost more acidity. The surface soil has already shown a weak alkaline state, and deep inside the tree roots, the soil state only remains acidic. This is also The reason why there are fewer and fewer eighth-level spiritual fruits over the years.
These conclusions were completely verified after Wei Sheng Suwen came to the area of the ninth-level spiritual fruit. In the area where the ninth-level spiritual fruit is planted, the surface soil has already shown an alkaline state, so the soil at the roots is naturally only weakly acidic.
Looking at the fruit trees in this area, which are dry and bare, you know that soon, when the soil in this area becomes completely alkaline, all these ninth-level fruit trees that have grown for hundreds of thousands of years will die.
Wei Sheng Suwen stood up, patted the dirt on his hands, looked at Elder Guiliang and said:
"Fellow Daoist Gui, I now have two methods to solve the problem of these durian thorns, but neither of these two methods can be achieved overnight. Please listen first -"
"Excuse me, sir, to clear up the confusion——" The joy on Elder Guiliang's face could not be suppressed. As long as there is a way, no matter how difficult it is, Guichang Sect will find a way to solve it.
"This durian tree likes acidic soil, and the more acidic the better -"
What Weisheng Suwen said is not wrong. Where the seventh-level fruit trees take root, the soil is already in a highly acidic state. At the higher level, it is extremely acidic. However, soil with this extremely acidic level is not so easy to encounter. above, so it can be ignored.
"..." Although Elder Guiliang's face was filled with doubts, he still nodded seriously, indicating that he was trying to listen.
"The reason why the seventh-level fruit trees can still bear spiritual fruits is because the soil in this area barely meets the standard. But with the current rate of loss, it won't be long before the eighth-level fruit trees will no longer bear fruit. The situation of the seventh-level fruit trees has become the current state of the eighth-level fruit trees—" Wei Sheng Suwen explained.
Elder Guiliang listened to a lot. Although he still didn't understand what the adult was talking about, he made one thing clear. There was something wrong with the soil where the fruit trees were planted. This was a big problem. You must know that this fruit forest is It has been growing on this mountain for hundreds of thousands of years.
Elder Guiliang was frightened and asked stammeringly: "Then, sir——, what should we do?"
"Either dig out the tree and choose a place to replant it; or increase the acidity of the soil so that the tree does not need to be moved. There is a saying that 'the tree dies and the people move it alive', so either of these two methods, Neither of them is an easy task, and no matter which one you choose, it will be a big project." Weisheng Suwen sighed inwardly, these two ninth-level durian thorns are indeed difficult to get!
"Soil pH:
