Zhao Yuqi was under great pressure.
There are a total of thirty-seven people in the team, and he is the only one who is in the late stage of Qi training.
In the middle stage of Qi training, there were only four people. The other thirty-two people are all in the early stage of Qi training and will not be of much use in fighting.
Half of these thirty people were not children of the Zhao family, but were sent by other families in Shuyang County to hang out with the Zhao family.
When the middle and late-stage monks from these families came to the secret realm, they naturally looked for a place to hunt wild food, but they left these early-stage monks with weak survival ability to their families.
This made him feel that he had a heavy responsibility, and it would be difficult to explain if any of his children were harmed.
There are seventeen spiritual plant gardens in the family, and there are four in the other three areas, except for five in the southeast.
This meant that he had to deal with two gardens one after another on one day, and time was relatively tight.
"How come there are only ten late stage ones teleported to our area!" He lamented repeatedly.
Of course, from a family perspective, it is fortunate that there is at least one person left.
Because the location of the family spiritual plantation garden is in the hands of ten late stage Qi practitioners, which were handed over to them by the ten elders before departure.
Otherwise, these thirty-odd people would have no choice but to go hunting in the wild.
While Zhao Yuqi was urging these young men, who were a generation younger than him, to hurry up, he was thinking over and over again about the arrangements for the next few days.
From easy to difficult, today's task is relatively simple and safe, and the distance is also very close.
Half an hour later, the team arrived at another valley.
…
There is a stream passing through the middle of the valley. The hillsides on both sides are covered with small yellow flowers. The breeze blows through, bringing a pungent and spicy smell.
"Twenty of you, all go collect mugwort, at least five bundles each!" Zhao Yuqi ordered.
Mugwort is the source of the pungent smell just now. This is a kind of green grass with slender stems and small yellow flowers growing on the top. It is more than two feet long and can barely touch the edge of the spiritual grass.
This grass can be used to refine insect repellent pills. Carrying one with you in the mountains and wilderness can repel mosquitoes.
Immediately, Zhao Yuqi pulled over a dozen people and ordered them to collect three other herbs, which were the auxiliary medicines for the insect repellent pill.
He himself called Zhao Lian and went somewhere. When he came out, he was holding a cyan alchemy furnace in his hand.
"Yang Zhen, Zhao Ying, come here!" He greeted the two of them.
When registering everyone's information at the meeting point yesterday, both of them said they knew how to refine elixirs, and they were both in the middle stage of Qi training.
"I only have one alchemy furnace here." When the two of them got closer, he pointed at the alchemy furnace and said, "You two can take over in a while. I estimate that you will have to refine at least ten pills."
He took out a piece of paper and said: "This is a prescription for repelling insects. Each pot takes half an hour. You two, hurry up and don't stay up until it's dark."
This kind of low-level elixir can produce up to twelve pills per furnace, and the average level is ten.
Yang Zhen could see clearly that the insect repellent pill would not last long. The family prepared an alchemy furnace in this valley and planted the medicinal materials needed for the elixir, with the idea of refining it on site.
"Give this alchemy furnace to Senior Sister Zhao," he waved his hand. Seeing Zhao Yuqi's expression change, he hurriedly smiled and took out the Fierce Light Furnace: "I brought one myself. We will refine it separately, so it can be faster."
Zhao Yuqi was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "That's good, that's good."
While he was talking, people were already delivering picked mugwort one after another. Zhao Yuqi ordered people to pick the flowers and give them to Yang Zhen and Zhao Ying. The remaining plants were dried using magic.
Under his methodical arrangements, everyone was busy. More than two hours later, one hundred insect repellent pills were refined, and a pile of dried mugwort was also prepared here.
"Everyone, follow me." He ordered, and everyone followed him with two bundles of mugwort in their hands.
After crossing the stream and climbing up the opposite hillside, everyone came to the middle of two boulders more than ten feet high.
"There is a magic formation here." Yiyi said quietly.
Yang Zhen spread out her consciousness, and sure enough, she felt something illusory on the other side.
"Zhao Lian!" Zhao Yuqi shouted.
Zhao Lian walked out of the crowd, as if he already knew what he was going to do, already holding a formation plate about a foot in size in his hand.
He placed the formation disk on the ground and activated his magic power. Soon a beam of light shot out from it and hit the middle of the boulder.
A stone door as tall as a person was revealed.
Zhao Lian pinched his fingers repeatedly and cast several spells. The stone door trembled slightly and slowly opened back.
A strong smell of vegetation came from behind the door, and a sea of flowers could be faintly seen.
This is the spiritual plant garden set up here by the Zhao family!
"Four of you, come in with me." Zhao Yuqi nodded at the four Qi-training mid-termers in the field, and then said: "The others, stay outside! Zhao Lian, arrange for two people to light the mugwort, don't let the purple Jade Bee, run out!”
Yang Zhen and the other four people hurriedly followed Zhao Yuqi, passed through the stone gate, and came to this world of flowers.
The Lingzhi Garden covers about four to five hundred acres, which is equivalent to the size of two bluestone spaces today. The ground is full of flowers, the trees are evergreen, and the branches are full of fruits, which makes people's eyes warm.
Sky green grass, phoenix flowers, silver leaves... Yang Zhen recognized many spiritual grasses at a glance. Although most of them were first-level, there were so many of them!
These spiritual herbs, a rough estimate, must have between thirty and forty thousand spiritual stones.
"In this garden, in order to allow the spiritual plants to grow better, the family has specially raised a lot of first-level purple jade bees," Zhao Yuqi explained as he walked: "A few of us came in and collected the spiritual honey produced by the purple jade bees in the past ten years. Walk."
"Then leave a few more people to pick spiritual grass here. They carry insect repellent pills to prevent the infestation of purple jade bees."
"When you are waiting to collect honey, first light the mugwort in your hand to drive away the bees in the hive."
While they were talking, the five people had already arrived in front of the hive.
This honeycomb is khaki in color, more than a foot tall, and in the shape of a regular hexagon, like a huge sesame seed cake.
There are countless holes in the front of the hive, and countless purple bees are coming in and out, making bursts of harsh "buzzing" sounds.
"Light the fire!" Zhao Yuqi shouted softly, and Zhao Ying and other disciples who knew fire magic quickly lit the mugwort.
Seeing Yang Zhenchu there, Zhao Ying remained calm and stretched out her hand to point at the spiritual grass in his hand.
Pungent black smoke instantly floated around.
The five people held mugwort in their hands and moved towards the hive step by step.
Under the influence of mana, black smoke passed through the hole and filled the inside of the hive.
Countless purple jade bees screamed in anger and unwillingness and fled into the distance.
"Get honey!" Zhao Yuqi then ordered.
Several people went up and began to carefully take out the spiritual honey from the nest and put it into the earthen jars prepared in advance.
There was a senior sister named Zhao Yuqiao who was at the sixth level of qi training and had a rather wild temper. She stretched out her onion finger and scraped a layer of spiritual honey and put it in her mouth. After smashing it twice, she praised: "The honey of this Purple Jade Bee has so much spiritual power." Ah, I feel like the magic power in my body is going to explode!"
"Is it that exaggerated?" Zhao Yuqi was amused by her and stretched out her finger to taste it.
"Second-level spiritual honey? How could it be second-level? No!" His expression suddenly changed!
At this moment, a black shadow as big as a baby's fist shot out from the hive and instantly hit Zhao Ying's chest!
