Chapter 207: The Mysterious Stump Revealed
Chapter 207: The Mysterious Stump Revealed
Yu Xue's estimate was still a little inaccurate, and this night, after the swarthy mysterious tree stump once again absorbed the active water that Luo Han had carefully poured down, suddenly, streams of black mist like ink detached from the surface at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, and kept emitting outward.
Yu Xue was helping Luo Han to water the medicinal herbs in the Spirit Picking Courtyard at this moment, and when she noticed something wrong, she flashed to Luo Han's side and looked at the stump that had suddenly changed in surprise: "Damn, so fast?" β
Luo Han frowned: "Yuxue, you are a girl, you can't speak so rudely." "It's all been taught badly by Xiao Xiao
Yuxue spat out her tongue disapplausively.
However, Rohan's attention was soon attracted by the strange phenomenon that followedβthe black mist that came out, for some reason, although it was emitting in all directions, only a small part in his direction, as if it had been suppressed by his son, and within half a foot in front of him, it no longer drifted in, but drifted in other directions.
"What's going on?" Rohan was amazed.
"This is a toxin, you have 10,000 years of jade toad protection on your body, it's natural, right? Law is close to you. "Yuxue knows a lot.
Luo Han suddenly became nervous: "Then if it emits into the air, will it have an impact on the plants here?" β
"Fortunately, the plants around here have basically been transformed and optimized by your Xuanshui, and their ability to resist poison is stronger than that of other places." Yuxue immediately gave him a reassuring pill.
Reassured, Luo Han stared again at the stump that had gradually peeled off its original blackness and showed a purple-gold sheen.
What kind of good son is hidden in this?
It took more than a quarter of an hour for the black fog to completely dissipate, and then Rohan heard a slight creak.
The sound was familiar, like the sound of a young sapling breaking through the soil.
But...... Strangely, Lohan unleashed his mental power to investigate the purple-gold stump - it was obviously wood
It's just that this stump, on the surface of the very center, now shows a pattern that is obviously different from other places, and the length encircles almost half of the entire stump, but it is only a crack that twists and turns in the pattern.
After scrutinizing it for a few seconds, Rohan finally made a decision, took a sharp Swiss Army knife from the Sumeru Ring, showed the tip of the knife, and pried it down at the crack.
"Boom"
To Rohan's surprise, he didn't have much effort, but he easily pried open the crack, and the entire stump was split in irregular halves at once.
An orange-red and a dark golden shadow brushed the ground at the same time as the stump split, and flashed past Rohan's eyes.
Instinctively, Rohan leaned back to avoid it, immediately losing his center of gravity and sitting on the ground.
However, when he sat down, his eyes jerked and opened wider than a bull's eye.
Two small saplings that are more than two meters tall and have grown many branches appeared in front of him. One is orange-red, and the other is a plain log-colored tree with golden spots. The stumps that had been split in half were now turned into pots that nourished their roots.
Luo Han already possessed the Sumeru Ring, so it quickly became clear that this stump should have been sealed by some kind of space spell cast by an ancient god, sealing the two small saplings inside. For some reason, the active water activated by the mind was just enough to pass through the surface of the stump, loosening the seal and promoting the growth of the sapling.
Luo Han didn't recognize these two saplings, so he had to ask Yuxue shamefully: "What kind of trees are these two?" β
"Alas, it's terrible for people who have no culture, and the treasures can't be recognized in front of you......" Yuxue deliberately sighed.
"Don't say yes, do you? It doesn't matter if you make a lot of mistakes, from tomorrow onwards, the share of Xuanshui per day will be reduced by one glass. Lohan remained silent.
Yuxue immediately surrendered. She is addicted to drinking Xuanshui now, and this treasure has a lot of benefits for her cultivation, so one less glass, right? It is suspected that he cut the flesh on her. She hurriedly approached Rohan's body flatteringly: "Don't, don't...... I said, I said it can't be done? βοΌβ
"Then say it," Rohan found out that she would surrender.
"The orange one, you definitely like it, is an authentic small-leaved red sandalwood sapling. The golden point is this, but it is an extremely rare golden silk Qinan. Yuxue immediately gave an answer.
Rosewood and goldenrod? That said, they can provide the best rosewood and golden silk nannan?
Rohan was really interested this time.
The ancient understanding and use of rosewood in China began at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cui Bao's "Ancient and Modern Notes" has a record, when it was called "red sandalwood, out of Funan, purple color, also known as red sandalwood." β
"Purple" means auspicious, in addition to the unique fine wood and rarity of red sandalwood, so in the Ming and Qing dynasties, red sandalwood is highly cherished by the royal family. The emperors of the two dynasties spared no expense, and gathered the world's skilled craftsmen to create all kinds of rosewood furniture and ornaments. These sons were really superb at the time, let alone handed down to this day?
In the Ming Dynasty, because red sandalwood was valued by the royal family, large-scale logging began. After the domestic rosewood was brightened, officials were sent to Nanyang to procure, and then it became a rule, which continued until the fall of the Ming Dynasty. The world's red sandalwood is mainly the Nanyang Islands, so as of the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, most of the world's red sandalwood is gathered in China. Although the Qing Dynasty also used to purchase new materials from Nanyang, due to the slow growth of rosewood, it could not be grown for hundreds of years. In the Ming Dynasty, the felling was excessive, and the Qing Dynasty had not yet been revived, and the source was exhausted, so most of the new materials were coarse and not straight.
Rosewood can not be grown into wood for thousands of years, and as the saying goes, "ten sandalwood and nine emptily", the largest diameter of rosewood is only about 20 centimeters, and its preciousness can be imagined. In the red sandalwood, the small-leaved sandalwood is the best, the wood grain is not obvious, the color is orange-red at the beginning, and the dark purple is like lacquer for a long time, and the annual ring pattern can hardly be seen. The veins are extremely fine and twisted like cow's hair.
Moreover, the small leaf red sandalwood is also a precious traditional Chinese medicine, in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" recorded, red sandalwood can stop bleeding, relieve pain, regulate qi and blood. Mixed with white vinegar and red sandalwood applied to the joints of the legs, it can eliminate joint swelling and pain; Rosewood is also very good for the stomach, and the pillow core of the pillow is made of rosewood crumbs, which has a certain soothing effect on gastrointestinal diseases.
Although there are now saplings of small-leaved red sandalwood sold everywhere on the market, Luo Han intuitively believes that the small-leaved red sandalwood sapling in front of him is by no means comparable to the kind sold on the market.
As for Jin Siqi Nanmu, it made him even more excited. It's not that this small-leaved red sandalwood is not as good as the golden silk nan wood, but this golden silk nan wood is not sold on the market at all.
Qi Nan, known as the diamond in the spice, there is a saying that it was found from the agarwood, it is possible that the agarwood tree found Qi Nan after the death, or it is possible that part of the Qi Nan was picked from the whole piece of agarwood. Originally, agarwood was a high-grade incense material, and the highest-grade agarwood was Qi Nan. Qi Nan is soft and sticky in the mouth, and it does not need to be burned to have a fragrance, and its medicinal properties are warmer than agarwood.
Luo Han didn't expect that in this originally inconspicuous stump, there would be a small-leaved red sandalwood and a golden silk chinan hidden in this originally inconspicuous stump
It is conceivable that once the golden silk nan wood is fragrant, it must all be golden silk nan incense, the most valuable type of spices
"It seems that my spice grade may also increase, the kind of white wood fragrance is sold as ordinary agarwood, and the kind of golden silk nan incense can be regarded as the best agarwood"
Thinking of this, Luo Han was in a good mood, but his eyes were fixed again, and he cautiously examined: "Yuxue, are you sure this is Jinsiqi Nanmu?" Didn't you say that Qi Nan was found from agarwood? βοΌβ
"That's an ordinary agarwood" Yuxue pursed her lips disdainfully: "Jinsiqi Nanmu is a mutated tree species in agarwood, which was extinct hundreds of years ago. Don't say I'm here, Uncle Nong doesn't have any inventory in his hands, your luck is really good."
Rohan's eyes lit up.
This kind of golden silk nanmu has become extinct in modern times, and at this moment he believes in a plant, and then uses his active water to give birth, hehe, it is equivalent to saving back an endangered plant
Very well, the grand wish he made under the altar of Shennong before can be regarded as the first great step at this moment
However, Yuxue's words were not over, and she looked at the stump at the root of these two saplings: "Also, do you think the treasures in this are these two saplings?" You don't look at the others? β
Luo Han was stunned: "These two saplings alone are enough to surprise me, what other treasures are there?" β
He carefully examined the two saplings, didn't believe in any foreign objects, thought about it, and then released his spiritual power to scan the stump as the root, except for the soil, there really didn't be any belief.
"No?"
"Dizzy," Yuxue rolled her eyes angrily. Now she uses this Internet term very fluently: "You take a good look at it"
Luo Han checked again suspiciously, or not? obtained.
"You...... Not this stump, right? Quite a few words"
He reached out and tapped on the surface of the stump, although it still looked like a tree to the touch, but the knocking sound was dull, but the texture was as hard as ever, and there was a slight coolness.
"I'm almost mad at you, although I admit that this son is a treasure in terms of material, but it is a one-time son, and it has been abolished, and you can't use it until you find the Chaos Fire and refine it again. You think about it carefully, and then look for it carefully," Yuxue pointed at Luo Han's head and began to scratch a little.
Rohan's face flushed slightly. Although Yuxue is thousands of years older than him, Yuxue is a young girl at the moment, and she is counted by beautiful women, but any man will be embarrassed.
After examining it more closely, Rohan asked tentatively, "What do you mean, this soil?" β
"That's right, though, your reaction is too slow and there is no reward" Yuxue looked at him dissatisfied. How can a person who is usually so smart become dark under the light this time? Is this unclear?
Rohan was secretly relieved - he had finally passed.
He hurriedly asked: "How do you pay attention to this soil?" β
