Chapter 790: Out of the City
Hearing this, the old man's eyes showed some surprise, and then he squinted his eyes and spoke.
"Are you really sure?" Although the appearance of 'Hundred Golden Grass' is no different from that of a normal weed, when the year comes, the edges of the leaves will take on a lime-like white color and the weight will increase to a kilogram, and under the moonlight, the lime-like white edges will take on a metallic sheen, hence the name 'Hundred Golden Grass'. ”
After a pause, the old man took a deep look at Chen Yuan.
"But the one you have in your hand doesn't have any of the characteristics of the 'Hundred Gold Grass', how are you sure it's the herb you're looking for?"
Hearing this, Chen Yuan was silent for a while, and then he clasped his fist towards the old man, his words full of respect.
"The methods of the predecessors are really clever, and the things they have tried are also unprecedented and unprecedented, and I was able to identify this strain as the 'Hundred Golden Grass' completely by luck. ”
The old man raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth a little playfully.
"Oh, my means, tell me, and what am I trying?"
Chen Yuan took a deep breath and replied solemnly.
"The predecessors here, first isolated the necessary conditions for the growth of herbs, natural light, and then used spiritual power to ripen the herbs, so the herbs here are completely different from the normal herbs in other places, and this is something that no one has ever thought of. ”
The old man nodded, his eyes motioning for Chen Yuan to continue.
"Plants need sunlight, air and water to grow, this is a little common sense that everyone knows, and no one will think that plants can survive for a long time without one of them, but the predecessors have changed their concepts, only using spiritual power and air to cultivate these herbs, this is an unprecedented move, and the reason why the predecessors have found such a different way, the real purpose should be to confirm how much influence spiritual power can have on plants. ”
"After the opening of the era of spiritual power, in addition to animals and humans, various plants have also been affected by spiritual power, and there have been earth-shaking changes compared with before, which is also the reason why there are so many spiritual plants now, and what the predecessors want to know should be that if only spiritual power is used, then to what extent will the plants mutate. ”
While listening to Chen Yuan's words, the old man nodded, and his eyes slowly released a fine light.
"Boy, what's your name?"
Chen Yuan, who was interrupted from his thoughts, did not feel any discomfort, and said seriously: "Chen Yuan." ”
"Oh?" the old man's brows raised again, and his body was already sitting upright from his chair, "You are the same Chen Yuan who caused Miao Jiang to make trouble in the city a few days ago?"
Touching his nose, Chen Yuan replied a little unnaturally: "Well, it should be me." ”
"Hahaha! Okay, I've long been unhappy with the Yu family's domineering, you kid is a bad breath for me. The old man laughed, his eyes full of appreciation, "In this way, as long as you can tell how to identify the 'Hundred Golden Grass', I can give you a nine-percent discount on this medicine." ”
There was no doubt that there was him, and after Chen Yuan sorted out his thoughts, he spoke in a deep voice.
"Although this 'Baijin grass' has no characteristics that it should have, and it is not even different from ordinary weeds, it is precisely because of this that I discovered it, after all, there is only such a weed among so many herbs, which is too conspicuous. ”
Hearing this, the old man nodded again.
"Go on. ”
"Then there's the impact. Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes showed thought, "The reason why 'Baijin Grass' is scarce is because this herb needs years of precipitation, and when the year has not yet arrived, it is indeed the same as ordinary weeds, but after the year arrives, not only some changes in shape and weight, but also itself will have a certain impact on the surrounding plants." ”
Hearing this, the old man's eyes narrowed completely, and he continued without waiting for Chen Yuan to speak.
"The mature 'Baijin Grass' will exude an unknown spiritual power, so that the surrounding plants begin to exude a smell that belongs to metal, but it is so weak that even a dog's nose can't smell it, this characteristic is not even recorded in books, how do you know it, and how do you judge it?"
Chen Yuan was stunned, but he didn't expect that his words would be robbed by the old man.
"It's no secret, this characteristic is what I saw on a book called "Baicao Zhi" when I was reading a few years ago, and that book has already been canceled, thinking that many things about herbs recorded on it have been confirmed to be nonsense, but today it seems that there are indeed some desirable places, and I, fortunately, can perceive a more subtle spiritual power than ordinary people, that kind of metallic taste, in fact, is a kind of untraceable spiritual power, and I also judged it to be 'Baijin Cao' because of this. ”
As he spoke, Chen Yuan's heart became strange.
The book in my impression, "Baicao Zhi", on which many of the herbal properties that were said to be nonsense, have been confirmed here, although there are some discrepancies, but the general direction has not changed.
"I compiled the book "Baicao Zhi". ”
Chen Yuan sighed in his heart, sure enough.
The old man's eyes were already full of memories, and he continued to speak leisurely.
"In the years when I wrote the "Baicao Zhi", it was when my experiment was just starting, in order to facilitate the collection of herbs, I went directly to the place with the most herbs in China, Miao Jiang, I thought I could go back soon, but who would have thought, this stay, it is ten years, the depth of the impact of spiritual power on medicinal herbs and plants, it is really beyond my expectations, and now it is also appropriate to see that "Baicao Zhi" is banned from being issued. ”
Hearing this, Chen Yuan's face immediately became serious.
"The predecessors are modest, and what is written on the "Baicao Zhi" can only be said to be incomplete, and it subverts the common sense of many people, but now I know that that book marks the beginning of a new era, and that era will be created by the predecessors themselves. ”
As he spoke, Chen Yuan clenched his fists and bowed deeply to the old man.
The old man smiled slightly, obviously very useful.
"Okay, since you've said so, I can't say anything more than a little discount. ”
Hearing this, Chen Yuan was overjoyed in his heart.
"In this way, I will give you a seven-fold discount, and then erase the fraction, 300,000. ”
Hearing this, Chen Yuan's face stiffened.
"Before, senior, I was just a college student. ”
The old man raised his eyebrows, his eyes thoughtful.
"In that case, since you are a hunter, you can use contribution points, how about 30,000 contribution points?"
Chen Yuan licked his lips and said with a forced smile: "Senior, you wait for me for a few days, and I'll see if I can make it up." ”
Seeing this, the old man sighed.
"Hey, forget it, how many contribution points do you have. ”
"10,000 ......"
A few hours ago, Chen Yuan thought he was a little tyrant, but now, he feels that his trouser pockets are cleaner than anyone else's.
The old man's brows furrowed again, and his face was even more confused.
"How did you become a hunter, and why did you only have 10,000 contribution points?"
Hearing this, Chen Yuan's forehead was full of black lines.
I've only been a hunter for less than a month! Shouldn't it be great to be able to have 10,000 contribution points?
"That's it, I don't want your contribution points anymore, you don't have enough 10,000 yourself. Frowning, the old man continued, "I can give you the 'Hundred Golden Grass', but on the other hand, you also have to find some medicinal materials that I don't have here, and I won't ask for the value, as long as I don't have it, three plants are enough, and within one year." ”
Hearing this, Chen Yuan's face finally slowed down, and he immediately bowed down again.
"Thank you seniors, I will definitely bring the herbs I want to my seniors within a year. ”
"Hmm. The old man lay back in his chair, rubbed his temples and fell asleep again, "Go ahead, tell the old woman, I took care of you, don't forget to be rent-free next month, and you can pay the rent I owe before, don't worry, it won't cost you much this time." ”
The corners of Chen Yuan's eyes twitched again, daring to love this old man is now also under the fence.
However, looking at the mutated "Hundred Golden Grass" in his hand, Chen Yuan took a deep breath.
"Good. ”
In order to cultivate, he fought.
Then half an hour later, Chen Yuan regretted it.
He finally understood why the old man would say that 10,000 contributions were not enough for him to spend, and after helping the old man pay the rent, not only Chen Yuan only had 100 contribution points left, but even Li Changsheng's account only had 1,000 contribution points.
That old man owes the rent of the ancestral pavilion for five years!
In the conference hall, the old woman looked at Chen Yuan with a smile on her face, and she couldn't hide the love in her eyes.
"Oh, Chen Yuan, you kid can, not only helped Zu Ge collect the rent, but also got what he wanted, so that the three parties are happy, not bad. ”
Chen Yuan smiled stiffly, but he wanted to scold his mother in his heart.
However, on the face, he still said kindly: "The elder is polite, but he uses Li ...... Will there be something wrong with my brother's money?"
The old woman's face changed, and she said very innocently.
"Senior brother, and he also said that as long as you come to Miaojiang again, your business is his business, rest assured, I believe that Li Changsheng is so good to you, and he definitely won't care about such a little money. ”
The corners of Chen Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he began to feel a deep sense of guilt for Li Changsheng in his heart.
I'm sorry!
One day, I will definitely pay it back!
At the same time, on Fanjing Mountain, a heart-rending roar came from a small temple.
"The elder of the pavilion who killed a thousand knives! Lao Tzu's daughter-in-law! A full 50,000 contribution points, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?
Looking at Li Changsheng, who jumped up from the futon with a red neck, the old ape and the other monkey monks who were meditating together shook their heads in unison.
"Hongruo, the monks don't speak, since you have entered my Buddhism, you should be the six roots pure, take a daughter-in-law or something, don't say it again. ”
Hearing this, Li Changsheng, who was already a bald head, sat on the futon without tears, looking at the old ape's eyes full of tears.
"Master, that's the only thought of the apprentice in the world, but the elder who killed a thousand knives took it all away without saying a word to me, I feel distressed. ”
The old ape sighed slowly.
"Bodhi is not a tree, a mirror is not a platform, there is nothing to stain the dust, Hongruo, you should be enlightened, and a monk, don't swear. ”
After a pause, the old ape took out the ring ruler and looked at Li Changsheng with a smile.
"Deserve the penalty. ”
