Zhu Mingyue sent Shan Heyuan to the door of his house and left quickly.
Shan Heyuan smiled and took two steps forward. Just as he was about to open the door, the door was opened gently.
Shen Duheng stood by the door. After seeing Shan Heyuan, he looked up at the sky.
The moon is not out today, and the stars are shining in the dark night sky.
It's obviously too late.
Shan Heyuan took the initiative to explain: "The problem we encountered today was quite difficult, and it was delayed a little late. The people from the Taihe Sect said they would send me back, so I sent the communication symbol so that you don't have to pick me up."
Shen Duheng accepted this explanation: "Have you had dinner?"
It was okay if he didn't say it. As soon as he said it, Shan Heyuan's stomach immediately began to growl, and the hunger suppressed by the excitement surged up, occupying all Shan Heyuan's thoughts.
Shan Heyuan shook his head.
Shen Duheng: "I left dinner for you, let's eat first."
Shan Heyuan followed Shen Duheng through the courtyard and entered the dining room.
There is a faint aroma of vegetables in the dining room.
Taking another two steps, Shan Heyuan saw a table full of delicious, delicious and delicious dishes placed in front of the spiritual lamp.
Shan Heyuan's eyes widened: "Where did this food come from?"
Shen Duheng: "I bought it from Feihe Tower. Do you think it suits your taste?"
Shan Heyuan: "Such a fragrant dish must taste good! Brother Shen, have you eaten it? Eat some more with me?"
With that said, without waiting for Shen Duheng to answer, he ran to the kitchen and got bowls and chopsticks. He diligently filled the rice and put it in front of him: "It's great to have food to eat when you come back."
There is no rule against talking between two people while eating.
Shen Duheng asked: "How is the spiritual plant of Taihe Sect?"
Shan Heyuan puffed up his cheeks and shook his head repeatedly, waiting for the food in his mouth to be swallowed, and said: "The situation is very pessimistic. I don't know what kind of disease I was infected with. I guess it will be difficult to save me."
Shen Duheng: "What do the people from the Taihe Sect say?"
Shan Heyuan: "I didn't say anything. I treated a spiritual plant today and they gave me 30,000 spiritual beads. I promised to try my best. By the way, Brother Shen, I met a third-grade planter today."
Shen Duheng nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Shan Heyuan: "The senior said that he had tried to practice the "Hua Chun Jue" before, but failed to get started. How did you remember to suggest that I practice "Hua Chun Jue" in the first place?"
Shen Duheng: "I felt it was suitable for you, so I let you practice it. What's wrong?"
Shan Heyuan: "I'm just a little curious. "Hua Chun Jue" is so expensive. If I can't practice it after buying it, wouldn't it be a waste of spiritual beads?"
Shen Duheng: "You have the root of chaos, so there's no harm in giving it a try."
Shan Heyuan asked: "What if I went wrong in my practice? Only now do I know how difficult the Spring Transformation Jue is. My bones are so weak that even a monk in the late stage of foundation building may not be able to learn it."
Shen Duheng looked at Shan Heyuan, his eyes seemed to have deep meaning.
Shan Heyuan let him look at you openly: "Brother Shen, I think your confidence in me is very unusual."
Shen Duheng: "The Can Sword will not enter the Dantian of an ordinary person, let alone the Dantian of a person with dull qualifications."
Shan Heyuan looked down at his abdomen: "So, Can Jian chose me in the beginning?"
Shen Duheng said "Yes": "Can Jian is very optimistic about you, and he is unwilling to come out until now."
Shan Heyuan nodded and accepted this statement.
Although they are now very familiar, Shan Heyuan is always worried that one day his fate with Shen Duheng will end and Shen Duheng will disappear.
Is it normal for a person as powerful and mysterious as his brother Shen to suddenly disappear one day?
It turns out that Shen Duheng didn't choose him, but Can Jian chose him.
That's great.
Things are always more regular than people.
The Broken Sword should not suddenly disappear one day, and Shen Duheng, the Broken Sword's sword spirit, will not disappear either.
Thinking of this, Shan Heyuan said sincerely: "Thank you Can Jian for choosing me."
Shen Duheng: "Going back to the question just now, Can Jian has proved your qualifications to a certain extent, so I think you will have no problem practicing "Hua Chun Jue"."
Shan Heyuan smiled happily: "I see. I did a good job in practicing the "Hua Chun Jue", and I am grateful to it today."
Shen Duheng: "Does it have the effect of healing spiritual plants?"
Shan Heyuan shook his head: "It just stimulates the vitality of the spiritual plant and gives the spiritual plant time to heal itself."
After settling down, Shan Heyuan talked about what he saw at Taihemen, and mentioned Wen Chengyi, a third-grade planter.
He only learned today that the professional skills rating of monks can be tested in specific institutions, such as planters, array masters, talisman masters, alchemists, etc. The fifth level is the lowest and the first level is the highest. Different levels can get different benefits.
Shan Heyuan's words were filled with envy, and Shen Duheng asked, "Do you want to take the exam?"
"Would you like to take the exam if you have time in a few days?" Shan Heyuan's eyes were bright, "I heard that planters are quite popular. There are very few planters on the market who come to take jobs."
Shen Duheng: "With your ability, if you make a surprise attack, it shouldn't be a big problem to take the fifth grade test."
Shan Heyuan: "Yeah! Let's talk about it after I'm done with the Taihe Sect."
As he said that, he remembered another thing: "By the way, I brought back a lot of branches of spiritual plants today. After dinner, I will mix some rooting water to see if they can be planted. The spiritual plants in Taihe Gate are all It is a relatively rare type. If you can grow it successfully, you will save a lot of money to buy the seeds."
Thinking of the branches in the storage ring, Shan Heyuan was not in the mood to eat slowly.
He quickly finished two bowls of rice, put it away, and went to the yard to toss with the branches he had brought back.
Under the starry sky, Shan Heyuan ignored the small insects flying around and directly dragged a large wooden basin out, and took out various potions and materials from the storage ring.
These materials are collected by him on a daily basis. Some come from the wild and some are bought in the town, all of which are expensive.
Materials include various semi-finished products and raw materials. To prepare a good rooting solution, you have to rely on the personal experience and feeling of the grower.
There is basically no finished product of rooting solution on the market - it is too easy to fail.
He had not deployed many times before and was not very proficient, but he had no problem with theoretical knowledge and techniques.
These materials were relatively expensive, so he was very careful when mixing them.
Shan Heyuan first poured half a basin of spiritual spring water into the large wooden basin, then added various materials into the large wooden basin in order, and used his spiritual power to guide the fusion of these materials.
Shen Duheng helped him from the side and slowly trimmed the branches he brought back.
These branches are not too strong and have yellow leaves hanging on them. Shan Heyuan wants these branches to take root. The first step is to remove the leaves and then prune the roots to create a shape more suitable for rooting.
Shen Duheng is not a planter and does not know how to do complicated operations. He can simply clean up the branches without any problem.
Shan Heyuan quickly prepared the rooting solution, took the branches that Shen Duheng had cleaned, put the bottom into the rooting solution, and then used "Breeze Xu Lai" to straighten out the spiritual power in the branches.
He had used "Qingfeng Xu Lai" too many times in the afternoon, and his meridians were a little swollen and painful, but after resting for such a period of time, it was still bearable.
Shan Heyuan controlled his facial expression and carefully used "Breeze Xu Lai" to straighten out the spiritual power in one branch after another.
During this process, Shen Duheng looked at him several times but did not speak.
After smoothing all the branches, Shan Heyuan shook his hand and felt that the pain in his meridians was still within the tolerable range, so he thought about smoothing the spiritual power of the branches again.
Shen Duheng suddenly grabbed his wrist: "That's enough."
Shan Heyuan was about to speak when he looked at Shen Duheng's serious expression and nodded guiltily.
Shen Duheng raised his chin slightly toward the room: "Go to bed first and do it tomorrow."
Shan Heyuan: "I'll go after washing up. Thank you very much for today, Brother Shen. You should go to bed early too. Good night."
Shen Duheng: "I'll wait until you go to bed before sleeping."
Shan Heyuan smiled: "Do you still have some trust?"
Having said that, Shan Heyuan still washed up quickly, rolled into bed, hugged the quilt tightly, and got ready to sleep.
Shen Duheng really waited until he fell asleep before going back to the room.
Because he was thinking about the spiritual grass he had just planted, Shan Heyuan got up at dawn the next day.
He lifted the quilt, rolled out of bed, grabbed a coat while putting on his shoes, wrapped it up and ran out the door.
In the yard, yesterday's big wooden basin stood quietly in place.
Shan Heyuan ran to the big wooden basin, reached out to lift the branches inside, and bent down to check.
White, furry stuff sprouted from the bottom of the branches.
It looks like tiny roots that have just grown out.
Shan Heyuan looked closer and his eyes almost turned into cross-eyes.
It wasn't day yet, the light was too dim, and he wasn't sure.
After staring for a while, he put the branch back into the basin and ran towards the hall.
After a while, he took the spiritual lamp placed in the hall and rushed to the wooden basin. He held the lamp in one hand and picked up the branch with the other.
Now he was sure that the prepared rooting solution was really effective. The spiritual plant branches he brought back yesterday had roots!
Shan Heyuan turned around: "Brother Shen! The roots have grown!"
Shen Duheng stood at the door, very calmly: "Keep your voice down, the villagers haven't woken up yet."
Shan Heyuan said "haha" twice: "Don't be afraid! They can't hear you from such a distance. Come and take a look!"
Shen Duheng came over: "The roots have grown, so plant them directly?"
Shan Heyuan: "Grow it for two more days. If there is no problem, you can plant it. I want to open a new plot of land to plant these branches."
Shen Duheng: "Okay. If you can't plant it, then rent a spiritual plant garden."
Shan Heyuan was reluctant to part with it: "Let's talk about it later, the Lingzhi Garden is so expensive."
The newly grown roots of Lingzhi branches are very delicate. Shan Heyuan maintained them carefully and nourished them over and over again with "Breeze Slowing" and "Rising Sun". The survival rate was still not high, with only about 30% of the branches successfully growing. leaves.
It may be because the mother body of the branch itself is sick.
It may also be because the branches he brought back were too thin.
While cultivating spiritual plants at home, he would go to Taihe Gate every other day to take care of the sick spiritual plants.
However, the effect was not very good. He only stabilized Lingzhi's condition, but failed to cure them.
Those spiritual plants are still half dead.
During his maintenance process, Zhu Mingyue and others also hired other planters.
But other planters were not as good as him. He managed to hang up the lives of those spiritual plants, but the spiritual plants assigned to other planters slowly withered.
At the same time, this inexplicable disease is still spreading, and the defensive formations set up before are completely unable to prevent it. The healthy spiritual plants around it are slowly getting sick, making the situation worse.
On this day, once again, "Rising Sun" was used on all the sick spiritual plants. After stabilizing the condition of the spiritual plants, Shan Heyuan said seriously to Zhu Mingyue: "This cannot continue. These spiritual plants have completely stopped growing. Slowly Slowly turns to withering, and treatment is of little significance.”
Studying the Moon: "What do you think, Fellow Taoist Shan?"
Shan Heyuan: "I remember that other planters' opinions were to remove all sick spiritual plants, disinfect the spiritual fields, and dry them for at least a year?"
Ji Mingyue: "Yes. However, the value of these spiritual plants is too high, and the teachers did not agree."
Shan Heyuan looked at him: "If we delay it any longer, the entire army will be annihilated."
Ji Mingyue: "Fellow Daoist Shan also suggested that we get rid of these spiritual plants?"
Shan Heyuan: "I have a way to put myself to death and survive, but I can't guarantee the success rate, and I can't take responsibility."
Zhu Mingyue said decisively: "Fellow Daoist Shan, feel free to say it, we can judge for ourselves whether it is necessary or not."
Shan Heyuan: "The first half of my advice is the same as other planters--pulling out all the diseased spiritual plants, and then disinfecting and drying the spiritual fields."
Ji Mingyue: "What about the second half?"
Shan Heyuan: "Find another independent spiritual field, select the thick branches from the plucked spiritual plants, and re-plant them with cuttings."
After Shan Heyuan finished speaking, the scene fell into silence.
After a few breaths, Zhu Mingyue raised her eyes to look at Shan Heyuan and asked in a deep voice: "What is the probability of this method being successful?"
Shan Heyuan: "Thirty percent. I tried it with diseased branches that I cut off before, and the success rate is about 30%. But I can't give a guarantee. If the Taihe Sect asks me to do this, I have to be prepared to get nothing. , and made an oath of heaven not to embarrass me."
Zhu Mingyue's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze became sharp.
Shan Heyuan looked at him calmly.
Ji Mingyue suddenly nodded: "Don't doubt people, don't doubt people. I am willing to make an oath of heaven and earth with you, so you can give it a try."
Shan Heyuan looked at the sick Lingzhi around him.
These many spiritual plants are worth at least tens of millions of spiritual beads. Even if they are replaced by spiritual stones, they are still worth up to 100,000 spiritual stones.
He doubted whether Zhu Mingyue could make the decision: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, I need the guarantee of the Supreme Harmony Sect."
Zhu Mingyue: "Yes, I will ask the head master to make an oath to heaven with you."
Shan Heyuan solemnly said: "If this is the case, I am willing to give it a try."
Being able to practice with such a valuable spiritual plant would be of great benefit to his career, even if he didn't receive the spiritual beads, it would still be worth it.
