Early in the morning, Wang Shi'an woke up early. After a brief wash, Wang Shi'an began his morning practice.
It wasn't until Wang Minghui's shouts rang outside the door that Wang Shi'an stopped practicing. He slowly finished his exercises and trotted to open the door. He looked at Wang Minghui waiting outside the door, scratched his head in embarrassment and said:
"I'm sorry, Uncle Eighteen. I got up and practiced for a while in the morning and forgot the time."
Wang Minghui smiled and waved his hands, and said nonchalantly:
"This is nothing. The path of cultivation requires people like you who work tirelessly. Okay, I won't say more. I will take you to get familiar with Huangfeng Island first."
After speaking, he slowly led the way. Wang Shian closed the door and followed closely behind Wang Minghui. He listened carefully to every bit of Wang Minghui's introduction and recalled in his mind the basic introduction on the family jade slip.
Huangfeng Island is located in the northwest of Crab Island, with a total length of more than 20 miles and a width of more than eight or nine miles. It is tall in the east and low in the west, and is long and narrow.
The island has lush branches and trees, but the spiritual energy in most places is very thin, not even the concentration of the first-order low-grade spiritual veins. Only the resident spiritual energy barely reaches the first-order mid-grade, so it is not suitable for large-scale monks to settle.
Thinking back to this, I couldn't help but be slightly curious as to why the family sent people to settle in Huangfeng Island.
At this time, Wang Minghui looked back at Wang Shi'an, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said to him with a smile:
"The place I want to take you to is the purpose of the family sending us to Huangfeng Island. Follow me."
Wang Shi'an had a curious expression on his face after hearing this, and followed Wang Minghui's footsteps, walking on a path that was obviously man-made and surrounded by dense bushes. After walking no more than a hundred steps, Wang Minghui stopped.
I saw Wang Minghui brushing his right hand over the storage bag on his waist, and a small flag appeared in his hand. At the same time, he muttered something to the small flag.
Sudden! The scenery in front of him changed unpredictably. When he looked up, a cave entrance about ten feet high appeared in front of him. Wang Minghui raised his feet and walked in. Wang Shi'an also followed closely and entered the cave entrance.
As soon as he entered the cave entrance, Wang Shi'an felt a strong spiritual energy. The density of the spiritual energy here was denser than in clan studies.
At the same time, he looked around with his eyes. The area here was only about a mile in diameter, and acres of a kind of elixir that Wang Shian didn't recognize were planted in an orderly manner in front of him.
While Wang Shi'an was looking around, Wang Minghui walked straight to the spiritual grass, squatted down, and observed carefully. He also used his spiritual skills from time to time to catch small insects that were difficult to see with the naked eye.
In this way, Wang Minghui carefully observed the pest control around several acres of the elixir, and finally used the Spiritual Rain Technique on the elixir. It was already an hour after all of this was done.
After the whole process, Wang Minghui, who was at the sixth level of Qi training, couldn't help but exhale slightly and wiped the sweat on his forehead. Then he looked at Wang Shi'an who had been standing silently beside him, and pointed at the elixir to Wang Shi'an. He recounted:
"Shi'an, this is the first-grade high-grade Huangya spiritual grass. It is the main medicine for refining Huangya Dan. The family stationed people on Huangfeng Island just for the elixir here."
After listening to Uncle Eighteen's story, Wang Shi'an understood that more than seventy years ago, a member of the family who was in the sixth level of Qi training fled all the way to avoid being chased by the first-order mid-level monster Snapping Turtle.
He fled to this island in a panic, and accidentally discovered that there was a spiritual spring eye on the island. The density of spiritual energy was comparable to the first-order high-grade spiritual veins. There were more than a dozen yellow-bud spiritual grass growing next to the spiritual eye.
Then, with the help of these elixirs, this tribesman reached a later stage of cultivation, killed the snapping turtle beast, and returned to the family to report this location.
Later, the ancestor of the family, Wang Lixing, personally rushed to Bi Island and arranged the next-level high-level spirit locking formation around the spiritual spring, and the first-level high-level defensive formation shrouded the place, naming it Huangfeng Island.
Because although the density of spiritual energy in the spiritual spring here is very high, the area is too small, less than one mile, and is not suitable for sending tribesmen to settle in on a large scale.
After much deliberation, the family decided to plant elixirs around Lingquan, station several people there, and pick them regularly to maximize their use.
After comparing the planting of several kinds of elixirs, it was found that Huangya Lingcao was the most suitable for planting here. In this way, the family opened up three acres of spiritual land around Lingquan specifically to grow Huangya Lingcao.
Huangya Dan is a kind of elixir suitable for monks in the late stage of Qi training. A fifty-year-old Huangya Lingcao and auxiliary medicines can be used to refine a batch of Huangya Dan. The full elixir is ten pills. According to the normal rate of elixir formation, one batch of Huangya Dan can be made. The furnace can produce three or four pills, one pill is equivalent to a month of hard work.
A fifty-year-old yellow bud spirit grass sells for about forty-five spiritual stones. After decades of cultivation, more than ten plants can now be harvested every year, which is also a considerable source of income for the family.
After Wang Minghui explained the basic situation, he paused and continued:
"Shi'an, the next three of us will take care of the elixir. The main thing is to observe the growth of the elixir every day, eliminate any insects, and then use the Spiritual Rain Technique once every three days, and rotate it every three months.
While taking care of the elixir, you can practice here for three hours every day, because the main spiritual energy here is used to nourish the elixir, remember! It cannot exceed three hours.
If it lasts for more than three hours, it will affect the growth of the elixir. If this happens, the family punishment will be very serious. "
Having said this, Wang Minghui put away his smile, looked at Wang Shi'an with a serious face and said.
"yes!"
Wang Shian replied with a solemn expression.
Seeing Wang Shi'an's solemn reply, Wang Minghui couldn't bear it anymore and laughed:
"Hahaha, okay, okay, I won't scare you anymore. That's what Uncle Jiu told me back then. As long as you follow the rules, there won't be any problems."
Wang Shi'an could only smile bitterly when he heard this. He didn't expect that there was such a tradition here.
…
The two left here chatting and laughing. Finally, Wang Minghui handed Wang Shi'an a jade slip, which contained instructions for taking care of the Huangya spiritual grass and its spiritual secrets, and told him to study it carefully. In seven days, it will be Wang Shi'an's turn to take care of the spiritual medicine. Then he waved and left.
Wang Shian said goodbye to his eighteenth uncle, returned to the room, picked up the jade slip given by his eighteenth uncle, and began to meditate.
