Late at night.
"Brother, remember to wait for me here on the night of the temple fair in the twelfth lunar month~!"
Nangong Bing'er left the rouge fan and forty taels of black silver reward to Su Chen, made an appointment to visit the temple fair in the twelfth lunar month, and then returned to the house.
Su Chen saw Nangong Bing'er returning to the house in the mansion through a low wall.
He put away his fan and Xuan Yin, and counted the days silently in his mind.
It's only a few days after the winter solstice, and there are still many days before the temple fair in the twelfth lunar month. It's still early, so there's no rush.
During this period of time, he still had to practice hard.
"I happen to be short of some money!"
Su Chen took Xuan Yin, smiled, and did not go back to the house. He turned left directly out of the small earth courtyard gate and went to the small medicine shop in Gutong Alley.
However, he was not going to buy magical elixirs to take and practice.
Instead, buy the seeds of various magical herbs.
In the painting scroll "Taoyuan Xiaoling Realm", there are ten miles of "Ting Tac Toe" fertile soil and spiritual fields.
The surrounding eight fields were planted by Taoyuan villagers, and the middle one was the public field belonging to his master.
The weather here is favorable and spiritual things can be planted and grown in all seasons.
He planned to fill his public land with spiritual herbs.
In the future, if you practice cultivation, you won’t have to spend expensive money to buy spiritual herbs at the drug store.
Every time he spends one tael of black silver to buy a small first-class elixir pill, it makes him feel very painful.
All my money was lost to the drug store!
...
At night.
In Luoyi Imperial City, the lights on both sides of the streets were dim, and many shops were still open to entertain customers who liked to visit the night market.
“Shopkeeper!!
Bring me red-blooded vine, ginseng, blood rice, seven-color lotus, evening primrose, ganoderma, snow lotus seeds, black yam, seeds of various elixirs... I want a small packet. "
Su Chen slapped two ingots of ten-ounce black silver on the counter of the small drug store.
The seeds of spiritual herbs are slightly cheaper and you can buy a lot of them at one time, unlike spiritual herbs that have been grown for decades and are expensive.
"Hey, where did my little brother get rich recently? Does this mean he is rich?"
Shopkeeper Li from the small drug store couldn't help but smile and said he was much more enthusiastic when he saw Su Chen's "generous" approach.
"Run errands for others and earn some money! The shopkeeper helps me pack the goods!"
Su Chen smiled and said,
He selected dozens of different elixir seeds in one breath. One tael of black silver can buy a pack of herbal seeds, and these twenty packs are twenty taels of black silver.
"Okay~!"
...
Su Chen bought dozens of packets of spiritual herbal seeds at the small medicine shop, then returned to the small earthen courtyard and bolted the door of the earthen house.
He lit a black bird bronze oil lamp on the table, and the flickering light illuminated the room.
He hung an ink painting scroll three feet wide and more than ten feet long on the earthen wall.
Only in the painting,
In Taoyuan Xiaoling, there are peach blossoms on both sides of the stream outside the valley. There are fertile fields in the valley, purple bamboo and mulberries, smoke curling from the huts, and some farmers pulling oxen to plow the fields.
Everything is business as usual.
Su Chen recited a spell and instantly entered the painting again.
"Huh~!"
Su Chen suddenly appeared in mid-air in the canyon and was about to fall into the stream below.
He was already prepared, so he jumped up and landed on a canoe in the stream.
Then he paddled down the river, passed through a dense peach forest, and arrived at a narrow cave.
Su Chen passed through the narrow passage of the cave and came to the plain in the valley again.
But see,
The Taoyuan Valley is lush and lush, just like spring.
He remembered that when he left yesterday, green buds had just sprouted from the wild grass on the ground.
At this time, a thin rhizome and a few green leaves had grown. This situation had clearly passed for ten days or half a month!
Why does this grass grow so fast? !
Su Chen was surprised.
However, they saw that Farmer Qin and others who were plowing in the plain fields had seen him appear from a distance.
Old farmer Qin hurried over, his expression obviously very surprised, and bowed, "Holy Master, you are so diligent in coming, it has only been ten days!
The previous Holy Master would not show up for decades or even a century. "
"It's been ten days?"
Su Chen was surprised when he heard this.
He left yesterday and has not been here for only one day today.
But the old farmer said he hadn't come for ten days? !
This is too much of a difference.
'Could it be...'
A thought suddenly flashed through Su Chen's mind:
'One day in the outside world, five days in the painting? '
He has seen allusions and legends in books, and they often mention things like "watching chess and losing the game", "a day in the sky, a year on earth" and so on.
It is said that a woodcutter went into the mountains to cut trees, broke into the mysterious cave, and watched the skills of two old immortals playing chess. The axe was rotten and a hundred years had passed.
Su Chen only listened to it as a fairy tale, thinking that time passed quickly and didn't care.
Now it seems,
There is obviously a huge difference in the passage of time between Xiaoling's territory and the outside world. It is indeed completely different!
The rate of loss here is nearly ten times faster.
No wonder Old Farmer Qin said before that the Holy Lord never came often, and when he saw the Holy Lord again, he was already his grandson and descendants.
"This little spirit realm...is really magical!"
Su Chen was surprised, but he quickly thought of one of the huge benefits, and felt happy.
In this case, it only takes one year in the Taoyuan Xiaoling Realm to reach ten years of medicinal herbs? !
To know,
The growth of spiritual herbs is much slower than the growth of spiritual grain fruits and vegetables.
It often takes ten years to grow into a first-order, first-grade low-level Xiaoling herb.
It takes twenty years to grow into a first-grade and second-grade herbal medicine, and thirty years to grow into a top-grade Qi and blood herbal medicine.
The elixir absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to grow, which is a long process.
The specific growth time of various herbal medicines varies, but they can be estimated at a grade level of about ten years.
Therefore, the spiritual herbs on the market in Luoyi, the capital of the Great Ji Empire, were both rare and expensive.
Either those millennium-old families or century-old wealthy families in Daji have large elixir gardens outside Luoyi City. They have grown elixirs for generations, and after decades or hundreds of years of planting, they have obtained elixirs in batches.
Or, go to the steep mountains and old forests where monsters are infested, in inaccessible places, and pick some wild spiritual herbs... The quantity is small, and occasionally you can get rare rare medicinal herbs that are hundreds of years old.
No matter which way it comes from,
Spiritual herbs are very expensive.
The cheapest ten-year-old first-grade spiritual blood herb, each small pill requires at least one tael of black silver to start.
A pack of spiritual herbs is worth ten taels of mysterious silver.
Now, Su Chen has an elixir garden like the ink painting "Peach Blossom". After one year of planting, he can harvest a batch of elixirs that are ten years old.
This saves him a lot of time in planting medicine and money in buying medicine!
"correct!
The Holy Lord said a few days ago that the public fields should be planted with spiritual herbs.
The old slave thought that you might need it urgently, so he asked the young men in the village to go to the cliffs of the valley to collect a basket of wild elixirs.
Do you think it can be used? "
As he spoke, Old Farmer Qin took Su Chen to a warehouse hut in the village, took out a small basket for collecting herbs, took out more than a dozen spiritual herbs of various colors, and asked.
“The first-order ninth-grade blood spirit fruit, the second-order first-order red flame grass, and the second-order third-order spiritual snow lotus seeds!
These elixirs are very good, replenishing Qi, blood and spirit! ...
Can you find better wild elixir in the valley? "
Su Chen picked up more than a dozen spiritual herbs in the basket and carefully distinguished them, with joy on his face.
The grades of these more than ten spiritual herbs range from first level to second level.
This basket of elixir is valuable.
"have!"
Qin Laonong nodded and said, "As far as the old man knows, the highest level of spiritual objects in Xiaoling territory can reach about the third level and ninth level!"
The Nongmen and Momen disciples of the Taoyuan villagers have reached the highest level of cultivation, the ninth level of the third realm, without exception.
"Third level nine?"
Su Chen's eyes moved slightly.
It seems that this is the upper limit of everything in "Taoyuan Xiaoling Realm"!
There is an upper limit to the practice of various disciples;
The growth of spiritual creatures also has an upper limit!
It is impossible to exceed the limit of this world of Xiaoling Realm.
Alas, it’s no wonder that although the former Holy Master of the Tao family opened up this realm, he didn’t pay much attention to this “Peach Garden Little Spirit Realm” and often didn’t show up once for hundreds of years.
Taoyuan Xiaoling can only produce third-level items at most, which is almost useless to a half-saint of the eighth level or above.
It's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to throw it away.
Simply lock it in the painting box and let it go.
certainly,
Regarding Su Chen’s current practice,
It's totally adequate, more than enough.
At least the cultivation of the first three realms of his Emperor Yin and Yang disciples, in the Taoyuan Xiaoling realm, can produce elixirs within the third level, which is completely sufficient.
