"I got the spiritual bamboo leaves. I'll leave first. You can go back." Chen Yanzhi shook the spiritual bamboo leaves in his hand and prepared to leave.
"Senior Chen, I have something else to ask of you. Can you please wait a moment?"
Chen Yanzhi raised her eyebrows and smiled meaningfully, "Do you think I can help?"
Li Yuan looked helpless and said with a wry smile: "Senior, I'm sorry about what happened last time. I only have one wild Qingfeng Bamboo. I got it by accident."
"The one I originally gave you was just a cover-up that I bought from Lingzhi Shop."
"I just want to exchange Su Xuan for a spiritual object that can assist her in martial arts training. Practicing martial arts is really hard, and I can't help much. But if she wants to go hand in hand with me, why don't I not? Hold an umbrella for her?"
"I have never doubted your sincerity towards Fellow Daoist Wei, but does this have anything to do with me? I have my own bottom line in my actions, but it does not mean that I am a victim." Chen Yanzhi frowned slightly, already impatient.
Li Yuan hurriedly said: "I'm not asking for your help in vain. The reward is the wild Qingfeng Bamboo, and the task is not difficult and there is no danger."
Chen Yanzhi's face softened a little, "Then if you hadn't told me earlier, I would have made a lot of noise." Who has the time to watch you showing off your affection overtly or covertly?
Li Yuan actually just wanted to set the stage and focus on expressing his apology.
"Sorry, I missed the point."
"Okay, just tell me. If it involves any secrets, important people, or is too difficult to handle, then don't tell me. I don't want to know, and I don't want to agree."
"It has something to do with spiritual plants. Seniors have been cultivating spiritual plants for a long time, so there must be a way."
Chen Yanzhi's heart moved, she could take a look at this, whether it can help or not, it can broaden her horizons.
So she nodded in agreement, "Let's take a look first and then let's introduce it. What is the spiritual plant? What happened?"
Li Yuan had a bitter look on his face, "Senior, come with me. You'll know after you see it."
"OK."
Chen Yanzhi followed Li Yuan into the green bamboo forest. Along the way, the cool breeze was blowing on her face, the sounds of birds were singing, the bamboo leaves were rustling, and the bamboo shadows were mottled.
This reminded her of the large bamboo forest in Changlifang City. She liked it very much. She dug bamboo shoots in spring, enjoyed the cool weather in summer, caught chickens in autumn, and continued to dig bamboo shoots to make soup in winter. She really missed it.
It's a pity that the bamboo forest next to Lingxi Residence has only grown for a short period of time, and it is still growing sparsely. The bamboo shoots cannot be dug, and there are no bamboo chickens or bamboo rats.
They finally stopped in front of a spiritual field, where the mist was rising and blocking their sight.
Li Yuan opened the fog shielding formation without any hesitation. This trust made people feel comfortable and happy.
The spiritual field is filled with green rice, and only a large area of land is separated on the right side, where three spiritual plants are sparsely planted.
There are two Qingfeng bamboos, one is young and tender, and the other is strong and strong, probably as thick as her wrist, and this one is the wild Qingfeng bamboo.
At the outermost position, there is a pine tree with a dark and straight trunk, thin needle-shaped leaves, and black dots on the needle tips.
But it looked wilted as a whole, with many leaves falling off under the tree. If you look closely, you can see that the needles on the tree have turned yellow.
Chen Yanzhi recognized it as black pine at a glance, because the trunk was very similar to her puppet tree. It was also dark and straight, but there were fine lines on the puppet tree.
The leaves are somewhat similar, but the leaves of Golem wood change as they grow, taking on an elongated and flat shape without black spots.
After hearing the caravan monk mention black pine last time, Chen Yanzhi went to Fanshu Pavilion to look through the classics and learned about some of the properties and appearance of black pine from a few words.
"Senior Chen, you should recognize this spiritual plant, right?" Li Yuan asked, pointing to the black pine seedling.
Chen Yanzhi nodded and used the Qi-gazing technique to see that it was also wild. She glanced at Li Yuan meaningfully.
"You are quite lucky. First you have wild Qingfeng bamboo, and then you have wild black pine."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "As long as senior is willing to take risks, he can get it."
It's a lie again. It's just because it's rare that it's hard for her to buy it.
But Li Yuan didn't want to say it, and she didn't force it. Everyone has his or her own chance.
"Senior Chen, I got this black pine tree, but I don't know how to plant it. Seeing it getting weaker day by day, I feel anxious, so I want to ask you for help."
"I've heard that you are good at growing spiritual plants and you are well-informed. You must be able to find a solution. And I dare to trust you. The only one I can trust is you."
Chen Yanzhi shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, this is also the first time I have seen the real thing. I have never planted it before, so I really don't know its growth habits."
Li Yuan was disappointed when he heard this. He had worked hard to get the black pine wood, but in the end he couldn't plant it and all the spiritual stones were lost.
This is indeed aggravating the situation for them who are not already wealthy.
He tried his best to smile and said, "It's okay, senior. I'll go to Lingzhi Hall to think of a solution and look for the classics."
That was the foundation of one's life, so it was strange that he could get it without spending a lot of money. At first glance, Li Yuan was someone who couldn't afford the price.
Chen Yanzhi stared at the pitiful black pine and replied casually: "Don't be so sad. I have never planted it, but I have some ideas."
Li Yuan perked up, and the flattery was about to come, "I said that senior Lingzhi has outstanding talent and rich experience, so it will be no problem to deal with this little black pine tree."
"Okay, let's get down to business."
"Okay, you say it, you say it."
"I heard that black pine wood emits a peculiar fragrance that can attract injured monsters. Its sap also has a slight healing effect. Do you know why?"
Chen Yanzhi looked at Li Yuan and asked questions with a serious face, quite like a teacher questioning a student.
Li Yuan looked confused, "Does this have anything to do with planting black pine?"
Chen Yanzhi turned around, still looking at Qing Fengzhu, she was reminded that she had reached this point, and she still didn't know.
"Senior, please continue talking."
Chen Yanzhi had no choice but to explain the truth clearly, "Any creature in nature gives birth to something unique, not to dedicate to others, nor to be beautiful, but basically for a better survival."
"To attract injured monsters, all I can think of is their blood. Maybe black pine trees need monster blood to grow. This is just my guess. You can try it."
Li Yuan suddenly realized what he said, "Senior, I think you are right. Please wait for me."
After saying that, he ran away to get the animal blood.
The reason is very simple, but it is not something ordinary people can do to know that black pine can attract injured monsters, and to combine the two to deduce the growth conditions of black pine.
Chen Yanzhi has been a spiritual planter for a long time and has gained experience. When he saw a monk's record of his experiences mentioning this, he subconsciously began to think about it and made his own superficial guess.
Li Yuan was very fast, and before long, he ran back with a Yiling clay pot.
When he opened the lid of the jar, the smell of blood filled the air, and he moved closer to the black pine wood.
Chen Yanzhi reminded: "Water less and try. If this is not the case, you can still remedy it."
Li Yuan nodded carefully.
