After returning to the academy, Su Fang did not give up his daily practice. He still went to the [Phoenix Tower] to practice.
The next day, he came to the [Mission Hall] in the academy and started looking for a suitable mission.
He suddenly saw a very good mission.
[Collecting elixirs task]: Due to the holiday, three students who are familiar with medicinal materials are needed to help collect the medicinal materials for planting. The time lasts until the start of school. Students who are interested can come to [Planting Department] No. 180 to see me. Task reward: 1 point will be awarded for each elixir collected, no limit to the quantity.
"I was worried about how to complete my "Gathering Spiritual Grass Mission". I didn't expect that there would be such a suitable mission for me now."
"Not only can I earn some points, but I can also complete my own tasks. It's like killing two birds with one stone."
Su Fang immediately took out his student card and accepted the task.
Then, based on the address provided by the mission, he looked for [Planting Department] No. 180.
He found that the planting area was very large, and each area had large fields or orchards.
There are all kinds of things grown inside, including millet, corn, wheat, sweet potatoes, apples, vegetables...
He finally understood that the spiritual vegetables and fruits in the college were not purchased from outside, but grown by the college itself.
Moreover, he also heard that there are planting areas in more than just these places within the college.
There are even some secret realms, all of which are planting areas.
"Such a large planting area can feed the entire population of [Phoenix City], not to mention the entire academy."
Seeing this, Su Fang couldn't help but marvel at the great contribution of the students from the Department of Planting to the college.
He found Area 180 and took a look at the situation inside.
"It's such a big medicine garden, and the entire medicine garden is defended by formations. This medicine garden is obviously not simple, and even the formations arranged are extraordinary."
Seeing so many elixirs here, he was not worried at all that he would not be able to finish the 20,000 elixirs. He stepped forward and pressed the doorbell.
Every planting area is protected by a formation. If an outsider breaks in by force, the formation will definitely be triggered.
The formations in each area are different, and the formations here are obviously much more powerful than those in other places.
The elixir itself is very precious, and it is normal for the defense to be stronger.
Not long after, a girl came out of her residence, opened the door, looked at Su Fang, and said, "Are you the student who accepted the mission?"
"Yes, I want to help collect some medicinal materials." Su Fang replied.
"Okay, please come in. We are currently worried about the manpower to collect medicinal materials. With your help, the task of collecting medicinal materials will be much easier."
The girl happily welcomed Su Fang inside.
Then, the girl took the initiative to introduce herself.
Her name is Xu Lingling, a sophomore student in the Department of Planting. She looks sweet and well-behaved. Although she is not tall, she gives off a gentle feeling.
This area is all her teacher's area, and all the elixirs in it are the elixirs grown by her teachers and students.
Some are already a few years old, but many were just planted a few months ago.
Some old elixirs, as well as additional formation protection.
Those elixirs are relatively precious, and some are even more than a hundred years old, so naturally they cannot be picked off easily.
The medicine fields outside are full of newly planted elixirs that cannot be picked yet and will have to wait until next year.
Every year, new students in the [Planting Department] need to plant many elixirs, or crops, fruits, and vegetables in the medicinal fields.
It is precisely because of their existence that the college can be self-sufficient and does not need to purchase too many things from the outside world.
According to what Xu Lingling said, there was an elder in the academy with the profession of [Medicine Master] who recruited several disciples. Because they were beginners, they needed a lot of low-level elixirs.
But now that everyone has gone back for vacation, there are so many people to collect medicinal materials. Therefore, her teacher issued a task and recruited some students to collect medicinal materials.
They don't accept everyone, Su Fang also needs to pass the assessment.
At least you must be able to identify these medicinal materials, know their age, whether they can be used to make medicine, and help dry the medicinal materials.
Some medicinal materials need to be dried before they can be made into medicine.
It is also necessary to distinguish the types of these medicinal materials and not to confuse them.
Otherwise, it would be so easy to earn these points.
These are not difficult for Su Fang at all. He is an elective in the [Medicine Department] and needs to be very clear about any medicinal materials.
"Elixirs are very important. Identifying, classifying, and understanding their medicinal properties are all things we need to learn. I am just giving you a simple test. As long as you can pass, I can hire you."
Xu Lingling said to Su Fang.
"No problem." Su Fang nodded.
Xu Lingling then took out some elixirs and put them on the table and said, "Tell them their names and their properties."
"Golden silver root is an F-quality medicinal material. It has mild medicinal properties and is very common. It can be seen in many places. It can not only clear away heat and detoxify, but also has a hemostatic effect when combined with Lithospermum when necessary."
"Blue flower fruit, an F-quality medicinal material, is less than a year old. It likes to grow in places where the sun sets. It has a good recovery effect, and is especially effective in restoring mental strength."
"..."
Xu Lingling was very surprised that Su Fang was able to tell not only the names, quality, and even the growth environment and effects of these medicinal materials.
"I didn't expect you to know so much about elixirs. I feel relieved now."
Xu Lingling was very satisfied. Now, someone could finally help her share the task of collecting medicinal materials.
"Time is tight and the task is heavy. Can we start work now?" Xu Lingling asked.
"Of course." Su Fang couldn't ask for more. He was originally here to collect medicinal materials to complete his mission.
Xu Lingling handed Su Fang the information on the medicinal materials that needed to be collected and asked him to collect the medicinal materials according to the quantity on the list.
Xu Lingling also said that the number of medicinal materials in the medicinal fields is fixed. You cannot collect more or less. If you collect less, you will be compensated.
Su Fang didn't care about these low-level elixirs. He nodded and immediately started collecting medicinal materials.
The number of medicinal materials in these lists varies, and the number of medicinal materials is also large, and many of them have specific requirements.
In addition, after the collection is completed, he still has to classify, organize, and even dry the medicinal materials. Only after they are finally put into storage can he get the corresponding points.
As a result, he could not collect medicinal materials as fast.
This is faster than searching for medicinal materials in the wild.
Medicinal materials in the wild are not something you can encounter just because you want to.
Sometimes you may not be able to collect even one medicinal plant in a day.
At least you don’t have to worry about picking medicinal herbs here.
Therefore, he did not plan to go elsewhere to collect medicinal materials.
At 11 o'clock, Xu Lingling asked: "What kind of food do you like to eat, I will have it delivered."
"No, I prepared the food myself." Su Fang replied.
"You don't need to prepare anything. We'll provide food for you." Xu Lingling said.
"I'm not used to eating outside food. I've already prepared it." Su Fang still refused.
"Okay." Xu Lingling said no more and asked someone to pack her favorite food and send it over.
