Chapter 952: The Secret of the Elixir
At least five silver swords pierced the lungs of the leader, who had extremely difficulty breathing and speaking, and he didn't know how to answer Han Chen's question, just stared at the other party blankly.
Han Chen said with a straight face: "Answer me a few questions, if the answer satisfies me, I will spare your life, otherwise, this is your cemetery!"
The man nodded hurriedly.
Han Chen asked, "What types of elixirs do you mainly cultivate in this medicine farm, and how are they cultivated?"
The man opened his mouth a few times, and his mouth was full of red and white spit, but he couldn't say a word.
His lungs were getting weaker and weaker, Han Chen eliminated the few swords that were pierced in his chest, and used his spiritual power to ease the injury a little, and he was able to speak.
After taking a few comfortable breaths, the leader said, "Enlightenment...... Lord Qiqi, there are four main categories of elixirs cultivated in the Dajin Medicine Field, one of which is to treat injuries and diseases, the second is to improve cultivation, the third is to supplement strength, and the other is to strengthen bones and tendons. As for ......"
Coughed a few times, and continued: "As for how to cultivate, this is the core secret of the Dajin family, only the previous generations of medicine farm owners are qualified to contact some of the secret methods, and the others are just planted according to their arrangements, and few people in the entire Dajin family know the secret." ”
Han Chen frowned, and the man hurriedly said, "Big ...... Ahem...... My lord...... I...... I'm telling the truth...... Ahem...... If there is half a lie, the sky will thunder!"
Jin Chong Jin Lu also said: "My lord, he didn't lie, the secret method of elixir cultivation is the foundation of Dajin's business, how can the head of the family easily hand it over to others?"
What the three of them said is also reasonable, it seems that this cultivation secret method will not be available for a while. Han Chen asked again: "Who else is there besides you in this underground park?"
The man said, "Except for our eight guards, the others are the gardeners in charge of planting, mostly ordinary people and some alchemists. ”
"Where's the storage?"
"The warehouse is at the end of the plantation, but ......," the man said carefully, "but...... When the owner of the house gave the order for a total defense, the warehouse was emptied......"
"Damn!" Han Chen couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and asked again: "What about the plantation?
The man said, "Not really, it's just that the mature and semi-mature elixirs have been harvested, and the rest are just ungrown buds." ”
Han Chen sighed depressedly, thinking that he couldn't take advantage of anything, so he said, "That's it, just take me to have a look." ”
"Yes!"
Jin Chong Jin Lu ran over to help him up, he curled up, and said to Han Chen respectfully: "My lord, please come here." ”
The plantation under the medicine field is extremely wide, and according to the type of elixir, the medicine garden is divided into four major areas, which together are not much smaller than the planting area on the ground. Unlike the above-ground plantations, the underground plantation is almost always in a sealed environment, but the walls are specially vented, and the ceiling is inlaid with many light and fire spirit stones, which keeps the park in a specific constant temperature state, avoiding premature death caused by climate change.
Han Chen was amazed and couldn't help asking, "Why do you put so many light stones and fire spirit stones inside?"
The injured alchemist said, "My lord doesn't know, the growth of any plant must follow the laws of nature, neither sunlight nor night. The light stones and fire spirit stones here are specially processed, and the light and heat they emit are not much different from real sunlight. When we turn on the energy of the spirit stone, it becomes day, and when we close it, it is night. If we adjust the optimal diurnal rhythm and temperature according to the needs of the elixir, we can artificially control its growth level. ”
Han Chen exclaimed: "It turns out that there is also a lot of knowledge in planting. ”
The alchemist said with some pride: "That is nature, there is no skill in the world that is not a knowledge." He pointed to the canals crisscrossing the medicine fields and said, "Your Excellency, the water conservancy here can also be artificially controlled, so that the humidity and irrigation of the medicine garden are fully guaranteed, and the growth of medicine can be endless." ”
After a moment of conversation, he said regretfully: "But...... Although the quantity produced by cultivating elixirs by this artificial means is very stable, the quality of the elixir is difficult to compare with that grown in the wild. The elixir that has grown up through wind and rain has stronger vitality and medicinal power than that grown in greenhouses. ”
Han Chen said puzzledly: "Since you can control the ecology, can you so many alchemists imitate natural disasters and give these elixirs to sharpen?"
The three of them looked at each other in amazement, and the leading alchemist praised: "Your Excellency is really smart, and you can draw inferences from this section. That's right, there is indeed this special cultivation place in the medicine field, and although the elixirs produced there are still not as good as the real wild ones, many of them are not far behind. Therefore, the elixirs sold by the Dajin family have always been divided into three, six, nine and so on. ”
Han Chen turned his head to look at him and said, "Don't you know this planting method in detail?"
The alchemist shook his head: "Don't get me wrong, what I know is only the process and conditions of planting, and this method will be effective when applied to most ordinary plants." However, you should be aware that elixirs are completely different from ordinary herbs, and the generation of elixirs requires a special environment, and to build such an environment, it also requires a scale like the Dajin Medicine Farm, and the resources required are astronomical. Not to mention the Dajin family, I'm afraid that the royal family and shamanism don't have that ability......"
Pointing to a few corners of the medicine field, the alchemist said: "My lord, please see, the grass raised there is called 'Spirit Eye Grass', and it is precisely because of its existence that the elixir here does not lose its spirituality." ”
Han Chen looked over and saw that in the middle of the medicine field, there was a small stone platform one meter square, and on top of the stone platform, a potted plant with a diameter of nearly two feet was placed. The potted plant was ordinary, and what was planted inside was a handful of small grasses with strange shapes.
The blades of that handful of grass are extremely slender, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are as thin as a hair, if it were not for its dense growth, dozens of grass blades are surrounded by the rhizome the size of the eye socket, and there is a ray of crystal-like fluorescence, which is really not easy to find in the lush medicinal field.
The rhizome of the blade of grass grows very differently, it protrudes a small piece of the soil, and the protrusion is as crystal clear as the leaf, but it naturally has several rounds of patterns, and the color of the central part is deep and shallow, it looks like the eyes of an animal, if you suddenly see it in the middle of the night, you may be startled!
At first, Han Chen hadn't paid attention to it, but after a hint, he clearly sensed that every handful of Spirit Eye Grass exuded a thick strange energy, this energy was mixed with multiple forces such as life element power, wood elemental power, and natural spiritual power, and the aura formed by this energy was very similar to some treasures that produced heavenly and earthly treasures, no wonder it could give birth to this garden of elixir.
It carries the energy of giving birth to spiritual creatures, and there is such a rarity in the world!
The shock in Han Chen's eyes was indescribable, and he was stunned for a while before asking, "This Spirit Eye Grass...... Is it natural, or is it artificially cultivated?"
The leading alchemist said, "It is said to be artificially cultivated, but no one, including the owners of the medicine field in the past, has ever seen the plantation of the Spirit Eye Grass. The cultivation method of this Spirit Eye Grass is the biggest secret of Daikin Pharmacy. There are more than ten medicine farms in the Dajin family, and all the spirit eye grasses are transported from the headquarters of Taihua City. ”
Han Chen said: "Then according to what you say, even if you are the owner, you may not know the cultivation method of the Spirit Eye Grass?"
The leading alchemist nodded: "A few of my colleagues and I have curiously asked the owner of the field if he has learned the cultivation of Spirit Eye Grass, but the owner has always been secretive about this question. Therefore, we guess that you farm owners should not understand the specific planting secret method of Spirit Eye Grass. ”
Han Chen complained: "Cut...... So what is the use of this lordship?"
The alchemist explained, "The Eye-Grass is too delicate to wither after leaving the soil where it was originally grown, so it is necessary to constantly transplant new Eye-Eyed Grass from the headquarters of Taihua City. The owner of the medicine farm is responsible for the transportation, transplantation and management of the Spirit Eye Grass, and uses special means to prolong its life as much as possible, which is the only place where they touch the secrets of the Spirit Eye Grass. ”
Han Chenqi said: "Since it is artificially cultivated, how can it not withstand transplantation?
The alchemist arched his hand towards Han Chen and said, "Your Excellency has insight. This is also what we all find unreasonable. The soil in the potted plant is actually the original soil where the Lingyan grass grows, but even if the owner personally maintains it, it will still die after a while. As for the reason for this, it is not for us to understand. ”
pondered in his heart, raised some questions, and personally brought a pot of Spirit Eye Grass to study for a long time, but Han Chen still had no clue. I have to say that the Dajin family's secrecy work is quite in place, and with Han Chen's knowledge and attainments in alchemy, he can't even obtain a trace of useful information about the secret method of planting the Spirit Eye Grass.
He originally wanted to deduce the secret method of planting through some key knowledge, but this road seems to be impassable.
He was about to set fire to the medicine garden, but after thinking about it, the unattended Spirit Eye Grass would not live for a few days, and even if he didn't do it, the underground medicine garden would be abandoned by itself. So he came to the warehouse at the end, and the materials in it were indeed cleaned up, not to mention the missing medicinal materials, even the medicine bottles were missing.
In desperation, Han Chen had no choice but to leave the underground medicine garden.
When he reached the ground, the leading alchemist was horrified when he saw the devastation. He couldn't help but ask Jin Chong on the side, "Who is so capable that he ruined the entire medicine field?"
Jin Chong stepped forward with Han Chen's mouth and whispered, "Do you still need to ask?"
