Chapter 17: Ripening
"Not sure, meaning you have a way to ripen the bitter spirit grass?" Yang Linghai asked with hope.
"There is a way, but the younger brother is not sure, the success rate is very low, and the cost is very high, the gains outweigh the losses, there is no way. ”
"Oh, what can I do, can you tell me about it? ”
"Senior ......"
"Huh...... Since you are a disciple of my Yang family, you have the same rank as Ling Hai, don't be called a senior, just call the old man uncle. The old man is your elder of the previous generation, named Yang Qi. Yang Qi, a middle-aged man, interrupted Yang Mu's salutation and formally introduced himself.
It is obvious that Yang Qi's attitude towards Yang Mu has changed, and the attitude of the superior just now ordered Yang Mu has become the tone of the elders to the juniors, and it is too polite.
"Uncle......" Yang Mu said in passing, and continued to explain, "The growth of elixir accumulates not only spiritual power, but also medicinal power over time. Spiritual power is simple, and it can be generated by external forces. But the medicinal power is the rule of the elixir itself, which transforms the spiritual power into the past. After the elixir is full for one year, it will have medicinal power, and slowly accumulate, the higher the year, the stronger the medicinal power. The bitter spirit grass is still nearly a year away, and the spiritual power can be completely satisfied by external forces, but the medicinal power is a lot worse. If you want to make the bitter spirit herb full of years, you have to compensate for the bitter spirit herb power. ”
"You are going to use the elixir to ripen the elixir......" Yang Qi had extraordinary insight and understood when he heard this.
"That's right...... This is an experience that the younger generation has gained from summarizing the growth of elixir in the past two years. A year ago, a 54-year-old Heqing Wu in the garden suddenly began to decay, and the younger generations did not hesitate to waste the five newly planted Heqing Wu plants around in order to save this Heqing Wu, and replenished the spiritual power by means of spiritual attraction. In the end, it was saved, but the five newly planted plants withered. Afterwards, the younger generation found that the 54-year-old Heqingwu was a few days longer than before, and the medicinal power had increased a little. ”
"Have you tried?"
"I've tried, brother, uncle, please take a look......" Yang Mu turned slightly, holding the crane Qinghua in his left hand, and pointing to the spiritual land with his right hand.
In the spiritual land not far from them, there were two sparse fragrant spiritual dews, which were spiritual plants similar to pepper trees.
"Aren't these three fragrant spirit dews that Uncle Qi Hai asked you to plant? Ten spirit seeds, two of which survived in the end, turned out to be wasted by your hands. But Uncle Qi Hai is so angry that he almost wants to punish you. I thought at the time, with your means, how can there only be a 20% survival rate, I see. ”
Different from Yang Linghai's depression, Yang Qi was overjoyed, patted his thigh, and laughed: "Haha...... It's a good waste, Yang Qihai's side, the old man will deal with it. Poplar, these three fragrant spirit dews are successful. ”
"The clan brother and uncle misunderstood, those eight fragrant spirit dew did not grow well, and there was a sense of vitality passing. As a last resort, the eight fragrant spirit dews were integrated into these two plants. ”
Yang Mu's explanation is reasonable, but it is estimated that Yang Linghai and his son will not believe it. Yang Linghai can be considerate of Yang Mu, it is true that Yang Qihai's attitude towards Yang Mu is too bad, and the slave is driven like that.
Yang Qi didn't care about the fragrant spirit dew, he didn't care about Yang Qihai, what he cared about was the ripening of the bitter spirit grass, I saw him approaching and carefully observing the two fragrant spirit dew.
"How long have these two Fragrance Dew been planted?"
"One year and five months ......"
"One year and five months? According to the old man's observation, these two fragrant spirit dew plants have a year and a half of year, and it seems that the poplar method works. Yang Mu, according to your method, can you mature this bitter spirit grass in a month?"
"It's not very sure, and the younger generation can't guarantee it. Yang Mu shook his head and said.
This made Yang Qi fall into contemplation, a rare opportunity, he couldn't miss it, he lost this opportunity, I'm afraid there will be no second time.
Yang Qi is already fifty-seven years old, and if he doesn't take Zhuji Dan Zhuji, he will miss the time, and in a few years, he will enter the age of Huajia and begin to age, and the chance of taking Zhuji Dan Zhuji will definitely be lower than now.
"Tell me, according to your method, what is needed to ripen in order. Yang Qi made up his mind and became very resolute.
"Uncle really thought about it?"
"Think about it, don't worry too much, let you try this time, it's my request, even if you fail, it has nothing to do with you. ”
"Father's ......"
Yang Qi stretched out his hand, stopped Yang Linghai's words, looked at Yang Mu firmly, and said, "Say it." ”
Verbal promise, can never be believed, Yang Mu knows that if he fails, his future life will not be good, but if he succeeds, the tide rises, the status is different, and the benefits will be more.
In fact, the so-called ripening method is not Yang Mu's summary of the elixir growth, but the ripening secret technique Luo Xi Xuanfa in his memory. It's just that poplar mana is relatively weak, his cultivation is low, and he can't fully use it, so he can only use the elixir to ripen the elixir.
Yang Mu thought for a while, breathed a sigh of relief, and responded: "The junior needs two bitter spirit grasses that are more than a hundred years old, a large number of spirit stones, and the help of uncle and clan brother, and mana. ”
"Two bitter spirit grasses that are more than a hundred years old?" Yang Qi was a little embarrassed again, thinking about it, he still planned to try. After all, the bitter spirit grass that is less than one hundred and fifty years old has a lower chance of refining the foundation building pill in medicine, and even if the refining is successful, it may not have the effect of building the foundation.
"Okay, it's up to you, Ling Hai, you go and prepare. There are two bitter spirit grasses that are more than one hundred and ten years old in the Father's Cave Mansion, and they can directly bring the purple storage bag for the father, and there are enough spirit stones in it. Yang Qi really made up his mind.
What his father decided, where did Yang Linghai dare to disobey it, and left the Spirit Garden quickly. After he left, Yang Qi asked about the secret method of ripening again. Yang Mu was very old-fashioned, and his answer was very strict, and he didn't let Yang Qi hear the flaws at all.
Judging from the two fragrant spirit dews, Yang Qi had a little more confidence in poplar wood.
In an hour, Yang Linghai came with his flying spirit weapon, carrying the purple storage bag in Yang Qi's mouth. The two bitter spirit herbs in it were originally Yang Qi's main medicine used to refine Zhuji Dan.
Tsukidan requires four kinds of four main drugs, seven kinds of thirteen side drugs, all four main drugs must be a full 150 years old, seven kinds of side drugs, at least more than 100 years, and some need 145 years. The higher the vintage, the higher the success rate.
Yang Qi had already prepared all the other elixirs, the two main medicines of Chahe Qinghua and Bitter Spirit Grass. Now that the crane Qinghua has reached the year, it is almost bitter spirit grass.
The survival rate of the four main drugs is extremely low, and there is only one Crane Qinghua and one Bitter Spirit Grass in the Zhengpian Spirit Garden. As soon as the two bitter spirit grasses in Yang Qi's storage bag were taken out, Yang Mu analyzed them for a while, and knew that these two bitter spirit grasses looked like they were wilting.
It seems that Yang Qi saw that the two bitter spirit grasses looked like they were wilting, so he picked them in advance. Generally, when the bitter spirit grass crane clears flowers, when it is more than a hundred years, the monk will definitely wait until it is more than one hundred and fifty years old to pick it.
"What, can these two bitter spirit grasses still be used?" Seeing Yang Mu's expression froze, Yang Qi asked.
"Yes, it's not low, it's very well preserved. Uncle, you really want to let your little nephew try, if you fail......"
Yang Qi waved his hand and interrupted Yang Mu's words, "The old man has already thought about it, you don't have any worries, success or failure is up to me." The old man will step into the sixtieth birthday, this is the old man's last chance, and he can't miss it. ”
"Well, the little nephew will do his best. In the next month, the little nephew needs to close the garden, and no one is allowed to enter it, so as not to be affected by external forces. In addition, the uncle and the clan brother need to accept the arrangement of the little nephew this month, and the most important thing is the blessing of mana, the little nephew's mana is too weak to last long. ”
"No problem...... Yang Qi took out a gray token and threw it to Yang Linghai, "Ling Hai, go quickly, activate the ban on the Spirit Garden, seal the entire Spirit Garden, notify Ling Yi and Ling Yu, let the two of them guard outside the Spirit Garden, and no one is allowed to enter the Spirit Garden without my permission." ”
Yang Lingyi and Yang Lingyu are Yang Qi's eldest son and eldest daughter, and their cultivation has reached the seventh layer of condensation.
Soon the ban on the Spirit Garden was activated, and the original cyan light cloth instantly turned into a dark green, covering the entire Spirit Garden thickly, and even the gate of the Spirit Garden was covered by a dark green spiritual light, which was tight. At this time, the cyan jade plate in Yang Mu's hand could not pass through the prohibition, and only the gray token that Yang Qi took out could enter and exit the Spirit Garden.
Yang Linghai went out of the Spiritual Garden with the token and summoned people to guard the Spiritual Garden. At Yang Qi's urging, Yang Mu began to ripen the bitter spirit grass.
Yang Mu has explained very clearly, using the medicinal power of two bitter spirit herbs to integrate into this bitter spirit grass to achieve the purpose of ripening. The special spiritual power of medicinal power is inexplicable even to alchemists, and it is very troublesome.
With Yang Qi's strong support, Yang Mu let it go. The mana is still relatively weak, so Yang Qi gave Yang Mu more than a dozen Lingming Pills, which are pills that can allow monks above the seventh layer of Qi Condensation to quickly recover their mana, which is very precious to Qi Condensing Monks.
With the supplementary mana pill, coupled with Yang Qi and Yang Linghai's help, Yang Mu slowly began to ripen the bitter spirit grass.
According to Yang Mu's assumption, it is divided into two steps, the first step is the integration of medicinal power and spiritual power through external force, which takes more than 20 days, and the second step is to stabilize the spirit, so that the bitter spirit grass can completely integrate the medicinal power and spiritual power and mature in advance.
One hundred and fifty-year-old bitter spirit grass will emit a strong bitter fragrance, as long as there is this smell, it means that the bitter spirit grass has reached the year.
Soon, Yun Qinfeng's closing of the Spiritual Garden spread in the inner mountain, and I wanted to know what was going on inside, but they were all blocked by the Yang Lingyi brothers and sisters who were guarding, and the Yang Lingyi brothers and sisters were just ordered by Yang Qi to guard them, and they didn't know what they were making trouble in the Spirit Garden.
This matter attracted the attention of the Yang family's Zhuji Ancestor, and only sent a messenger, and after Yang Qi responded, he ordered not to approach the Spirit Garden, and Yun Qin Feng quieted down.
Time flickered, twenty-nine days had passed since the closure of the Spiritual Garden, and suddenly there was a loud laugh from the Spiritual Garden, the sound was deafening, and the entire prohibition shook for a while, and the laughter stopped and the shock stopped.
Just by laughing, it can be shown that the poplar has succeeded, and the bitter spirit grass has been successfully ripened, the bitter fragrance smell is very strong, and the medicinal power is strong, which is no different from the bitter spirit grass that grows naturally for 150 years.
"Okay, very good, I'll reward you when I do it. Yang Qi became more and more satisfied with Yang Mu, but he had more important urgent matters, so he hurriedly left with the elixir.
The Lingyuan will be unsealed from today, looking at the father who left in a hurry, Yang Lingyi's brothers and sisters failed to catch up and ask carefully, and they held back for a month, they were very curious, so they took advantage of the Lingyuan to unseal, entered the Lingyuan, and asked the person concerned.
"One hundred and fifty years of ripening bitter spirit grass ......" The brother and sister stared at Yang Mu in surprise, it was hard to believe that this was the handiwork of a low-level cultivator with a layer of condensation.
"The clan brother is really talented, and he can master all kinds of means. Ling Hai, you kid has really picked up a treasure. Yang Lingyi praised and his attitude changed sharply.
That Yang Lingyu sprouted a curiosity about Yang Mu, and stared at Yang Mu with big eyes, trying to see why, but couldn't see it.
Yang Mu was relatively calm, nodding in response with a light smile, without any complacency.
