Chapter 129: Return to the Base (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)

Three days later, Zhu Yan and his party finally reached the long-awaited base of Changbai Mountain. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Compared to when they left a month ago, the base has expanded many times over, with vast tracts of wasteland being reclaimed, plastic greenhouses rising on the ground, and hot spring canals crisscrossing the ground, almost becoming a modern farm.

It should be said that this is completely different from the original idea, the original reclamation of wasteland was only to solve the problem of survival, and now the large-scale development of spiritual fields is for the needs of cultivation. The first batch of fruits and vegetables in the base has been harvested, and the facts have once again proved that eating the fruits and vegetables cultivated by these spiritual fields is more than ten times more powerful than mere meditation cultivation. It is precisely for this reason that Zhang TCM is infinitely enthusiastic about their work.

In the course of a month, they cleared almost all the weeds and trees in the valley. The wasteland and woodland in the valley have been opened up as spiritual fields as much as possible, and the total spiritual field area has reached hundreds of acres.

Of course, the scope of Lingtian's development is limited to the valley, and they have not moved the original forests at the mouth of the valley, after all, their manpower and material resources are very limited, and the small reservoir in the valley cannot irrigate too much.

Thanks to the installation of wind turbines and the abundant mountain cargo resources on the mountain, the supporting construction in Lingtian is quite smooth. About one-third of Lingtian has been built with plastic greenhouses, connected to electrical wiring, electric lights and heaters, and the bottlenecks that limit the light and heat for the growth of alpine crops are gone.

It's just that one wind turbine seems to be far from enough, and if you want to develop all the spiritual fields, you need at least two such generator sets. Zhang Zhongyi and the others waited for Zhu Yan to come back, so they could mine some gold sand and take it to Liucheng to buy generator sets.

In the developed spiritual fields, some greenhouses are planted with various fruits, vegetables and grains, while others are planted with various medicinal herbs. The production cycle of these crops is as short as a few weeks, and the long one is only half a year or a few months, as long as they are planted and harvested in batches, they can fully meet their cultivation needs.

Compared with ordinary crops, the production cycle of elixir is slightly longer, the short one takes a few months, and the long one takes a year, years, or even decades. However, their value is far from being comparable to ordinary fruits, vegetables, and grains. For example, a five-year-old ginseng strain has already condensed spirit crystals in it, and the effect of taking a strain of such ginseng can be equal to the effect of eating a hundred catties of spirit valley.

It is a pity that the elixirs cultivated in the spiritual fields are small in both quantity and variety. Zhang TCM They searched for medicinal herbs everywhere in the mountains, and the senior brother also tried every possible way to buy seedlings of Chinese medicinal materials, but until now, the medicinal materials in the elixir field were only dozens of varieties and tens of thousands of plants.

On the one hand, it is true that good medicinal materials are hard to come by, but the main reason is that they lack too much experience in growing medicinal herbs. Cultivating medicinal herbs is like raising flowers, which requires specialized knowledge and experience, and even a person like Zhang Zhongyi who is familiar with traditional Chinese medicine only knows a little about the common sense of growing medicinal herbs.

Because of this, before Zhu Yan and Chen Lan came back, Zhang Zhongyi and the others had even thought of going to the bottom of the mountain to find a few experienced medicine farmers to join them. If it really doesn't work, they are also going to hire a few medicine farmers with high salaries to train themselves.

In this regard, Chen Lan obviously has her own ideas, and she feels that there is a better way to solve this problem, and that is to awaken the spiritual ability of some people. In fact, the cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials has declined in modern times, and most modern medicine farmers only know the skin, or they only know a few kinds of cultivation methods of medicinal materials, which are far less than the authentic medicine farmers in ancient times.

During the time of Atlantis, there was a profession that specialized in cultivating elixirs, called spirit planters. At that time, the spiritual planter not only mastered the habits and planting methods of all spiritual herbs, but also communicated with the spiritual herbs to ensure the best growth conditions for the elixir.

At that time, the spirit planter was a very common profession, and the number of practitioners was much larger than that of psychic or high-ranking warriors. Since in her and Zhu Yan's memories, there was information about psychic masters and high-level warriors, there was no reason why among the dozens of people in the base, none of them had the memory information of spirit planters.

Of course, the prerequisite for this method to be achieved was still to prepare the elixir of enlightenment, which coincided with the priority of their trip. Therefore, everything else in the base could be put aside for the time being, and they had to find those elixirs in the recipe as soon as possible.

Zhu Yan also agrees with Chen Lan's idea, there are priorities, as long as the most critical step is solved, other things can be solved naturally.

It was based on this consideration that the day after they arrived at the base, Zhu Yan and Chen Lan drove the crows to haunt the dense forests and deep valleys of Changbai Mountain, looking for the whereabouts of the elixir needed in the formula.

Thanks to the rich aura environment of Changbai Mountain, their hard work for several days was indeed not in vain, and they successively found seven elixirs such as the Tranquility Flower, the Nightmare Vine, and the Demon Emperor Grass in the dense forest and under the cliff. These elixirs plus the three medicinal materials in the medicinal field, such as Seven Leaf Ginseng, Snow Lotus and Ghost Mushroom, only lacked the two medicinal materials of Jiuzhi Returning Spirit Grass and the low-level Transformation Demon Beast Crystal Nucleus in the formula of the Jue Ling Elixir.

This made Chen Lan and Zhu Yan both a little excited and expectant, but also full of anxiety, because in this recipe, the most difficult to find are actually these two herbs.

Jiuzhi also has a symbiosis between spiritual grass and copper ore, often growing near the spiritual vein, and was regarded as auspicious in ancient times, which shows that it is rare and precious. According to the Hanshu record: "Ganquan Palace is a medium-sized mushroom, with nine stems and leaves. God is coming, and he will not go down to the room and give me a rest. It pardons the world and gives Yunyang a hundred households of cattle wine. "This nine-stemmed and leafy sesame grass is the nine Zhi Lingcao, when it appeared in the copper pool of the Hande Hall of Ganquan Palace, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was amazed, thinking that it was auspicious.

The same is true for low-level transfiguration type demonic beasts, although they were very common in ancient times, but in the modern earth where the aura is thin, I am afraid it is difficult to find even one. Of course, it doesn't mean that it is impossible to find, like the monster that Zhu Yan encountered in Tianchi last time, it is actually one of the demonic beasts, but unfortunately it is not a demonic beast of the illusion type.

Generally speaking, the more strange the place, the more special medicinal herbs can grow. Naturally, Zhu Yan and Chen Lan thought of two special places on Changbai Mountain, one was the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain, and the other was the "dry rice bowl" they had been to last time.

They first went to the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain, the weather was very good on this day, it was rare that there was no rain, the sun was also very face-saving, and the Tianchi was like a piece of emerald green and flawless jasper. But unfortunately, they didn't find anything in Tianchi, and they didn't even see a wave on the water, let alone water monsters, monsters, or anything.

They had no choice but to try their luck at the "dry rice basin" in Bermuda, known as Changbai Mountain, but they didn't expect to make an unexpected discovery there.
