After Chen Wangrong left the laboratory building, he walked casually along the tree-lined paths of the university campus.

At this time, the fragrance of flowers on the campus was strong, and the breeze was blowing, which made people feel very comfortable, and as he walked, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a faint aura fluctuation in the air.

Chen Wangrong slowed down, followed his feelings, and slowly walked towards the place where there were aura fluctuations.

As he walked, he found that he had unconsciously walked out of the campus and came to a wasteland near the foot of the mountain.

As far as the eye can see, there is nothing special about it, except for a driving range for students to learn to drive, just a few plots of land with crops, a greenhouse and a small house for the keeper.

Seeing those plots with plants, Chen Wangrong's eyes flashed with surprise.

The abundant aura emanates from the top of these plants.

Chen Wangrong hurriedly walked over and found that the area of these lands was not small, and the plants planted on them turned out to be some common Chinese medicinal materials.

Walking among the medicine fields, Chen Wangrong only felt that the aura here was abundant, even several times more mellow than the depths of Yungu Mountain.

Chen Wangrong saw that there was no one around, so he sat cross-legged on a clean grass at the edge of the medicine field and entered the state of cultivation.

After he started practicing, every part of his body was absorbing these mellow spiritual powers.

Time passed minute by minute, and I don't know how long it took, Chen Wangrong suddenly felt a hand patting him on the shoulder.

"Classmate, classmate, what are you doing here?"

The voice was low and a little hoarse, with a bit of concern, it was the voice of an old man.

When Chen Wangrong opened his eyes, he saw an old man wearing a straw hat and a cloth coat, who looked to be in his seventies.

"Uncle, I, I fell asleep just now."

Chen Wangrong explained somewhat far-fetchedly.

"Classmate, the sun is so hot, I thought you had heat stroke, since you're fine, let's go quickly, don't disturb my little guys."

Chen Wangrong glanced at the medicinal herbs planted in the field and knew that these were the little guys in the old man's mouth.

Seeing that Chen Wangrong hadn't gotten up yet, the old man said half-jokingly: "The way you looked just now is like practicing here, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth." ”

As soon as Chen Wangrong heard the old man's words, his pupils immediately shrank, and he asked in surprise: "Uncle, do you see that I am here to absorb the aura of heaven and earth?" Could it be that you are also an immortal cultivator? ”

The old man just said a casual joke, but he didn't expect Chen Wangrong to be so serious, so he laughed out loud and showed a mouthful of white teeth.

"Hahaha, aren't all you young people popular cultivating immortals now, you don't sleep at night, stay up late and turn on the dark, you can't get up in the morning, no wonder you can fall asleep just by sitting here, admire and admire."

The old man's words denied the speculation in Chen Wangrong's heart, and Chen Wangrong had to stand up and prepare to leave.

Glancing up, Chen Wangrong realized that from the perspective of feng shui, the location of this medicinal field happened to be in the place where the dragon qi of the nearby mountains gathered, and it was a pot-shaped location itself, which was very beneficial to both the growth of plants and the help of immortal cultivators.

And the best location here is where the little house on the ground is located.

"Uncle, do you live here?"

Chen Wangrong pointed to the small house built of bricks and asked the old man.

The old man glanced at the small house, shook his head and said, "That place, how can it be inhabited, it's just a place to rest and cool off during the day." ”

No wonder, this old man does not have the aura of an immortal cultivator around him, although he seems to be in good spirits, he is just a simple old man.

Chen Wangrong glanced into the cabin again, but this glance made him make a major discovery.

The floor of the small house was not poured with cement, but the original muddy floor, so there were a lot of weeds, and among these weeds, there was a strange-shaped astragalus tree.

Because of the dwarf size of the plant, it is difficult to find that this is an astragalus if you are not proficient in medicinal herbs.

Chen Wangrong walked over directly and checked it with his hand.

Sure enough, it was an astragalus, because it grew in the house and received little sunlight, so the plant was short, but it grew in this place where the aura gathered, and the medicinal part under the soil must be extraordinary.

What surprised Chen Wangrong was not the weirdness of this astragalus tree, but that it happened to be what he needed most now.

To refine the elixir to cure Ye Weilan's disease, one of the key materials is astragalus.

If you can find a thousand-year-old astragalus plant, Ye Weilan's disease can get better faster.

But there is an astragalus growing in front of me that grows in the place where the aura gathers, and its medicinal value is comparable to that of the thousand-year-old astragalus, even if it is not as good as the thousand-year-old astragalus, but it can be comparable to that that that has grown in other places for more than 500 years.

"Uncle, can you give me this astragalus."

After all, it was on someone else's territory, Chen Wangrong resisted the urge to dig directly, and asked the old man.

A look of surprise appeared on the old man's face, probably because he didn't expect Chen Wangrong to recognize the astragalus.

He walked to the small house, lowered his head and looked at the place Chen Wangrong pointed to, as if it was really an astragalus.

"What kind of major is your kid studying, you can recognize the astragalus like this, if you don't say it, I can't see it."

The old man did not directly answer Chen Wangrong's question, but asked about his major.

Chen Wangrong knows that people are easy to be lonely when they get older, and the more lonely people are, the more they like to talk, as long as there is someone to talk to them, they always have to seize the reason to say a few more words.

So Chen Wangrong was not in a hurry, and replied directly: "I'm not a student here, I just came here to do something, and I came here unconsciously." ”

Hearing Chen Wangrong say this, the old man's eyes looked at her face for a moment again, and asked, "The price of astragalus is not expensive, why don't you go to the market to buy it, is there anything special about this lesson?" Looking at his branches and leaves, you can see that the medicinal place must be still very small, probably not as big as my little thumb, so it is better to let him grow there. ”

Chen Wangrong listened to the meaning of the old man's words, but he didn't want to give it to him.

I don't know if it's because I'm not a student here, or if it's something else.

"Uncle, I want this astragalus, you can make a price."

Chen Wangrong knew that a thousand-year-old astragalus had been speculated to a price of about hundreds of thousands in the antique market, and even if it was a five-hundred-year-old one, it would take 100,000 yuan to buy, so as long as the old man's asking price was reasonable, he would buy it directly.

"I said it, this astragalus is too small, it's useless, I don't want your money, since you insist on taking him away, you can pull it out yourself!"

"Then I'll take it."

Chen Wangrong was thinking in his heart, don't regret it.

With the permission of the old man, Chen Wangrong found some tools next to the small house and carefully peeled off the soil around the astragalus.

The deeper he picked, the more excited he became, because the stems of the plants buried in the ground became thicker and thicker, and when he saw the roots, Chen Wangrong laughed even more happily.

Because the thick fast root part was as thick as a three-year-old child's arm, he continued to peel it down, and saw that the root system of the branch was also as thick as a cucumber.

It wasn't until the entire root was dug up by Chen Wangrong that the old man came up in surprise, looking at this giant Huang Qi that might take hundreds of thousands of years to grow.

"It's a big guy! I can't see it! This is called the real deep hidden! ”

"My Zhong family is a well-known family of traditional Chinese medicine in the southwest, and there are countless top medicinal materials in my family, and I have never seen such a big astragalus! I didn't know and thought it was a radish! ”

The old man put his nose up and sniffed it very seriously, and then exclaimed: "It's the old astragalus, yes, this guy is afraid that he will become a sperm if he grows up, this rich medicinal fragrance, well, the best, the best!" ”

Chen Wangrong echoed a few words, and got up to leave with this astragalus plant.

"Wait!"

When the old man saw that Chen Wangrong was leaving, he hurriedly called out to him.

Chen Wangrong paused, turned back to the old man and asked, "Uncle, you won't regret it, right?" ”

The old man shook his head, feeling that in front of Chen Wangrong, he had learned the knowledge of Chinese medicinal materials all his life, and he had really learned from dogs.

"You, really not a student here? So which school are you from? Or the child of a family of Chinese medicine? ”

The old man hurriedly asked Chen Wangrong.

Chen Wangrong shook his head, but he held the old astragalus in his hand tighter.

"I'm just a poor boy who grew up in the mountains, and the reason why I want this astragalus is because it can save the life of a friend of mine."

Chen Wangrong only hopes that this old man will not embarrass him.

He didn't want the old astragalus that he had dug up for most of the day to be snatched away by others.

Although Chen Wangrong's words made Zhong Kaiyuan a little surprised, he couldn't figure out why Chen Wangrong had such a powerful ability to identify Chinese medicinal materials, and he had never heard that astragalus could save lives.

But he is now full of curiosity about Chen Wangrong.

"Boy, come and be my student, although you didn't get here, it's okay to audit my electives, I can let you come to this school in the name of recruiting assistants, what do you think?"

Chen Wangrong thought about it and felt that he still had a lot of things to do, and he didn't have time at all.

"Thank you for your kindness, I don't need it."

Chen Wangrong directly refused.

Zhong Kaiyuan didn't give up, but thought about it and said to Chen Wangrong: "Then, you come and plant herbs with me, I can give you some of the herbs here." ”

Zhong Kaiyuan's words aroused Chen Wangrong's interest, and he looked at the small house by the medicine field with complicated eyes.

Until he finds a better place to practice, this is the best place for him to practice.

If he can live here, in just a few months, his cultivation will make a breakthrough.

"Well, if I promise you, can I live in here?"

Chen Wangrong was moved.

Zhong Kaiyuan had long seen that Chen Wangrong was a poor boy, but he didn't expect him to be so poor.

I don't even have a place to live.

"Absolutely."

Zhong Kaiyuan happily agreed.
