Ye Yunyang stood in the almost waist-deep grass, carefully observed it for a long time, raised his head and said, "There is no difference, are you sure there are two different kinds of grass here?"

Dongfang Yixue walked over and said very confidently: "I'm very sure, I have seen the introduction of fairy spirit grass in several different books, without exception, all of them say that there is another herb associated with it, and the two are very similar, if you don't compare them carefully, it is easy to make a mistake." ”

Liu Yuying also came over and looked at it for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't tell the difference, by the way, Sister Dongfang, what is the name of another grass, and what is the effect?"

The Oriental beauty blushed and replied: "It's called three-branch nine-leaf clover, it is a tonic, it has no effect on martial artists, but it has a great effect on ordinary people." ”

Liu Yuying nodded as if he didn't understand, since it was useless to a martial artist, he had to distinguish it carefully, so as not to make a mistake.

Theory and practice, Dongfang Yixue quickly found the trick from it, she pinched off two seemingly identical leaves, and said: "Look carefully, there are three differences between these two leaves, the first is the connection between the root of the leaf vein and the branch, one is a very smooth concave shape, the other is slightly convex, the concave is the fairy spirit grass, and the protruding is the three branches of the nine-leaf clover." Second, looking at the leaf veins, the veins of the fairy grass are kept level with the leaves, while the three-branch nine-leaf clover is slightly convex when you look closely. Third, look at the serrations, the shape and size of the serrations are exactly the same, but the serrations of the fairy grass have extremely fine white fluff, and the three-branch nine-leaf clover is completely smooth. ”

Ye Yunyang smiled bitterly: "These three differences are very subtle, and only after careful comparison can we see it, when do we have to pick such a large area?"

Dongfang Yixue said with a smile: "Anyway, what we have is time, you must know that the price of fairy spirit grass is a hundred times that of gold, after practicing into an elixir, it will be of great benefit to a martial artist, what is a little hard work." ”

A hundred times the price of gold!

Ye Yunyang's eyes lit up, and he bent down and began to distinguish the two herbs.

Fairy grass and three-branch nine-leaf clover are perennial plants, and this is the season to pick fairy grass, even if all the leaves are picked, it will still pull out new shoots and grow luxuriantly next year.

As long as you find one, you can pick dozens of leaves from it, and the speed is still very fast.

Because the two plants look too similar, even if you are careful, you will make mistakes, the three of them have a clear division of labor, Ye Yunyang and Liu Yuying are responsible for picking, and after picking the leaves of one tree, they will be sent to Dongfang Yixue, and she will do the final identification and sort out the three wrong nine-leaf clovers.

This area is hundreds of square meters, and there are three to five plants per square meter, and there are more than 1,000 trees in total. By noon, they had completed the identification of a third of the area.

In the afternoon, the two gained experience, the picking speed increased significantly, and the rate of mistakes also decreased a lot.

Ye Yunyang put dozens of leaves in front of Dongfang Yixue and proposed: "It's better for us to directly shovel all the three nine-leaf clovers, and when we come to pick them again next year, we don't have to work so hard." ”

The Oriental Beauty shook her head: "It's useless, as a companion plant, as long as there is fairy spirit grass, there must be three branches of nine-leaf clover, you shovel them now, and they will grow again next year." ”

He shrugged: "In this way, the three-branch nine-leaf clover is a dog skin plaster in the plant world, and it sticks to the fairy spirit grass to death, and it can't be shaken off." ”

By five o'clock in the afternoon, they had successfully sifted the area, and it was certain that there would be fish that had been caught, but the sun was about to set, and there was not enough time left to sift through again, so they had to give up.

In front of Dongfang Yixue, the leaves of the fairy spirit grass were piled up into a hill, and the three branches of nine-leaf clover were much less, but there was also one-third of the fairy spirit grass.

Liu Yuying slapped his waist with his hand and complained: "I'm tired to death!" We are already careful enough, but we still admit so many mistakes, Sister Dongfang, you have worked hard. ”

Dongfang Yixue smiled faintly and said, "Let's pack them up and hurry back to the camp...... Don't waste the three nine-leaf clovers, since they have all been picked, take them back with them, and give them to the locals when they return to Nanshan. ”

If it was according to Ye Yunyang's meaning, he should throw away all the useless things, but since the beauty has already made a decision, then bring it, it's not heavy anyway.

He found three large cloth bags, two for fairy spirit grass and one for three nine-leaf clovers.

Back at the camp, Ye Yunyang and Chen Shilai were cooking dinner, and the two daughters carefully spread the collected leaves on the grass, with the current temperature and air dryness, it would take a day at most to dry them all.

After dinner, Liu Yuying proposed that the three of them practice together to see who had made greater progress.

This proposal was agreed by Ye Yunyang and Dongfang Yixue, and the three of them chose the tent of the Oriental beauty, and Chen Shilai was responsible for cleaning up the mess, and then went back to his tent to sleep.

Xiaoqiu was very well-behaved, lying quietly in the middle of the tent, motionless, just using its big round eyes to look at one of the three from time to time.

Liu Yuying is competitive, her character affects Ye Yunyang and Dongfang Yixue, the three of them are holding back their cultivation, and in the end, compared with the improvement rate, Ye Yunyang ranks first without any accidents, because he uses the "Breaking Cultivation Method".

Dongfang Yixue and Liu Yuying are on par, but because she is a wizard, each realm of a wizard is divided into four levels, and a martial artist is divided into ten levels, so she has made greater progress than Liu Yuying.

Of course, the little girl was not convinced, and when she left, she asked to do the same tomorrow night, and she was sure that the first place tomorrow would definitely be herself.

The next day, the three of them sifted through the place where the fairy spirit grass grew again, obtained a small package of fairy spirit grass, and then continued to play.

As Dongfang Yixue expected, by the time they returned to the camp, the fairy spirit grass that they had dried yesterday had completely dried, and the three nine-leaf clovers next to them had also dried up.

She carefully packed them up, put them in different compartments of the medicine box, and then went to help Ye Yunyang make dinner.

Liu Yuying is not good at cooking, so he can only hold Xiaoqiu and watch from the side, and after watching for a long time, he feels bored, so he walks back and forth in the camp.

Passing by Dongfang Yixue's tent, she saw the medicine box and the Dan furnace inside, and felt novel, so she walked in to take a closer look.

The shape of the Dan furnace is exquisite, cast with the best copper, it is covered with ancient beast shapes, there is a tiger beast button on the left and right, and the top cover is covered with cloud dragon patterns, which are tightly fitted with the furnace body.

Because it is a double cultivation of witchcraft and martial arts, Liu Yuying also has a time to study alchemy, so he is very interested in this set of things.

Then her gaze turned to the medicine box, which was rectangular in shape, finely made of mahogany, she had seen Dongfang Yixue open it, and it was made up of countless small boxes, each containing different medicinal herbs.

According to Dongfang Yixue's method of opening the box, she successfully opened the first layer of lid, and a smell of medicine came to her face, and then she opened the second layer easily.

Due to the unfamiliarity of the technique and the unfamiliarity with the structure of the medicine box, she missed this time, and the buckles of several small boxes fell off and fell to the ground crookedly.

Among them are the freshly harvested fairy spirit grass and the three-branch nine-leaf clover.

She realized that she was in trouble, and when she looked back, Dongfang Yixue was engrossed in cooking soup, and she didn't notice what she had done.

She let out a sigh of relief, put the box back in the order she remembered, checked that there was no problem with the medicine box, and left the tent quickly.

On the high ground in the distance, Zheng Zhiyuan and Gu Zhengxiang were drinking.

The two old men rarely had a moment of leisure, it was very safe here, except for some herdsmen within a radius of dozens of miles, there was not even a martial artist whose level exceeded the cultivation realm.

"Brother Gu, I heard that your Holy Temple Sect made a lot of trouble a while ago. Zheng Zhiyuan said while stuffing meat into his mouth.

Gu Zhengxiang nodded and said: "A group of guys who are above the top but have no brains, think that if they get the Guozijian, Taixue will be able to dominate the imperial capital and become the only college that cultivates high-level talents. At that time, they still wanted to pull me to make a strong stride, and I was not stupid, of course I sternly refused. ”

Zheng Zhiyuan handed him the wine jug and said: "Yes, our Emperor Your Majesty is best at the way of balance, he can't let the Taixue family dominate, and the existence of Guozijian is to check and balance Guoxue." It's a pity that Wang Chengan, a guy with no political acumen, finally climbed to the seat of sacrificial wine, but before he could jump, he was masturbated and became the laughing stock of the imperial capital. ”

Gu Zhengxiang took a big sip of wine: "Who said no, he thought that the emperor's suppression of Guozijian was an opportunity for Taixue, but he didn't know that the emperor had other deep meanings." This brainless guy, don't talk about him, but you Fenglin faction, stunned to pull Ye Yunyang to be a junior brother, and the Heavenly Kingdom Master is far-sighted, and your Zhongxing day is coming. ”

Zheng Zhiyuan was very happy and said: "The addition of Uncle Xiao will indeed speed up the revival of the Fenglin faction. However, we don't want to follow in the footsteps of Wang Chengan, and we must be cautious in everything to ensure that there is no result of capsizing in the gutter. ”

"People who are smart and know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace are worthy of living in this world, do it!"

"!"

After dinner, the three of them gathered in Dongfang Yixue's tent as promised.

Dongfang Yixue proposed: "Why don't I refine a furnace of pills first, you have to learn it sooner or later, it is beneficial to see first, I will use the fairy spirit grass we picked with my own hands, and try to see if it can help us increase the power of sea awareness." And then try to cultivate, how about it?"

Ye Yunyang agreed: "Okay." ”

Liu Yuying was a little drumming in her heart, she was afraid that Dongfang Yixue would find out that the medicine box had been touched, but two of the three had already agreed, even if she refused, she couldn't change anything, so she nodded lightly and agreed.

Dongfang Yixue took out the prescription, took the Dan furnace, and then opened the medicine box.

Under her skillful hands, the medicine box was layered apart, each small compartment snapping into each other, like the petals of a blooming flower.

Liu Yuying breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately he did not show his stuffing.

Dongfang Yixue picked up the prescription, showed it to them, and said: "This elixir is based on fairy spirit grass, so it is named fairy spirit pill, because of the shortage of raw materials, many wizards have never had the opportunity to try it in their lifetime. You two are lucky, not only can you see the whole process of refining with your own eyes, but I will leave some fairy spirit grass for you, and when you have the ability to alchemy, you can try it yourself. ”

Ye Yunyang shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Sounds good." ”

Liu Yuying has an inexplicable worry, and she herself can't tell where this worry comes from.

Dongfang Yixue took out a small scale, weighed the weight of the various medicinal materials needed in order, and prepared for alchemy.
