Xiaocui was holding a thick booklet in her hand, Hua Ying got up and took it, and looked at it fixedly.

"The Complete Book of Pesticides and Herbs".

Hua Ying's brows tightened, and then she opened it and read it.

After a while, her brows furrowed, and she said with joy, "This book is very good!" Not only are there many analytical notes of medicinal herbs, but also some wild vegetables and wild fruits with certain medicinal value are included, which are very useful! ”

"Sister Erya, can you use this book?" Xiao Cui asked from the side.

"Xiaocui, thanks to you, this book happens to be useful to me." Hua Ying nodded and thanked her, "I don't know if Uncle has used these books on weekdays, if you can't use them, can you lend them to me for a while?" ”

"Sister Erya, you take it as soon as possible, daddy, he can't come to the study a few times in a month or two on weekdays, and I'll tell him when my dad comes back."

"In that case, then thank you Uncle for me! I'll come down another day and bring some wild things from the mountains to Uncle!" It's good to inherit the uncle's love of borrowing books. ”

Hua Ying was overjoyed, hugged a few books in her arms, and immediately didn't stay longer, and after saying goodbye to Xiaocui, she got up and left.

I trotted all the way and walked back to the mountain.

I went to say goodbye to my master and sister first, and then I went back to my room, lay on the bed, and officially turned over the book "The Complete Book of Pesticides and Herbs".

The pages of this book are extremely thick, about hundreds of pages, and each page is accompanied by simple illustrations of various herbs and plants in addition to the text, plus the author's own annotations and detailed explanations.

Hua Ying only looked through it for a while, and then found many herbs that she was familiar with. Among them, there is a herb that is included in the book although it is a wild vegetable, and she has noticed it.

Donkey tooth amaranth, dried can be medicated.

"Hey, this donkey's tooth amaranth is not just a wild vegetable, it actually has this layer of use."

Hua Ying was quite surprised, she thought that what she was eating was just ordinary wild vegetables in the mountains, but when she looked at it again, she had already found the difference.

"Could it be that the reason why this donkey tooth is more effective than other vegetables is because it contains certain medicinal powers?"

Hua Ying didn't understand what medicinal power was, she only knew that no matter what kind of herbs were very expensive, and those dried into medicinal materials were even more expensive, compared to them, wild vegetables and wild fruits were worthless.

Could it be that the more precious and rare the plant, the more useful it is for cultivation?

Hua Ying guessed in her heart.

"It seems that we have to wait for the herbs in the medicine garden to ripen before testing again, if the herbs are really more effective than ordinary vegetables and wild fruits, we have to find a way to grow more."

With an idea in mind, Hua Ying spent the next few days observing the growth situation in the medicine garden every day. To her surprise, the herbs in the garden grew much slower than the vegetables in the garden.

According to the growth rate of green vegetables, after planting, it can be ripe in half a day at most, and these herbs actually start to grow leaves in three or five days, and there are signs of maturity in seven or eight days.

On this day, Hua Ying squatted in the medicine garden in the jade pendant space, stroking a green herb in one hand and holding a book in the other, comparing it back and forth, and finally said to herself:

"Half a month to grow into a year of herbs, if according to the book, the value of herbs is the longer the year, the better, generally three years, five years of herbs can only reach the standard after drying. A year-old herb, I'm afraid there is not much medicinal power. ”

Nowadays, most of the herbs in the medicine garden have only just reached the level of one year, and some of them grow slowly or even less than one year, among them, the rapid growth rate of donkey amaranth seems to be due to the low medicinal value.

There is no hurry to farm the land, and it is difficult to come to a conclusion in a short time, and Hua Ying is not in a hurry.

In the following days, she continued to take donkey tooth amaranth for cultivation, and her daily dosage was very stable. Three times in the morning, noon and evening, the dosage is about one handful at a time, and it is very convenient to take it with warm water.

Compared to cultivating without taking anything, you can increase your internal strength by about ninety percent more.

Hua Ying pinched her fingers and calculated, if she continued at the current cultivation speed, it would take about nine months to practice the exercises to the second level realm.

Nine months, provided that you can't stop taking donkey alfarrath, otherwise I'm afraid it will take a year or two to repair.

And if you follow the statement in the "Mixed Spirit Decision", it only takes about four months for a person with medium qualifications to cultivate this skill to the second level realm.

As a result, Gu Shi Huaying took donkey tooth ailmen, and it was still difficult to compare with the cultivation speed of a person with medium qualifications.

"If you want to speed things up, it looks like you'll have to count on other herbs." Hua Ying compared the two, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed in her waste material qualifications.

However, she was not discouraged, after all, there was still hope, as long as she continued to study, she would definitely be able to find a medicinal herb that was very suitable for cultivation.

So, in the next few days, Hua Ying's daily activities have been going on, practicing, farming, eating, and sleeping.

It's not boring, occasionally she and her sister will go up the mountain to play, by the way, to see if there are any rare herbs, and when she sees it, she picks it back and plants it.

As for the master of the two, since he returned that day, he has not gone out again, and he has stayed in the room all day to concentrate on cultivation, and occasionally advises the two disciples on their cultivation questions.

The years on the mountain were very peaceful, and there seemed to be no more waves.

Half a year later.

It's the height of summer.

Not like the scorching heat under the mountain, the forest hut in the mountain is like a summer resort, and occasionally a gust of mountain breeze blows, bringing incomparable coolness to the bamboo forest.

At this time, it was afternoon, Qin Xiangzhi ran down from the mountain, carrying a live rabbit in her hand, sweating like rain, her clothes were beaten through, she walked to the door of a house with a smile and knocked gently.

"Senior sister, don't sleep, let's go play in the mountains."

However, half a day passed, and there was no movement in the room.

"Hey, you can't really fall asleep, do you?" Qin Xiangzhi didn't wait for a response for a while, couldn't help but be a little puzzled, hesitated for a moment, and reached out and gently pushed the door open.

Looking inside, the windows in the room were closed, and there was no one to be seen on the bed.

"It's strange, my junior sister is not in the room, where will she go?"

Qin Xiangzhi didn't find Hua Ying's shadow, so he had to ask suspiciously, and turned around and left the room with the rabbit.

After she left, about half an hour later, a white-haired girl suddenly appeared out of thin air on the bed, still holding a pile of green weed-like objects in her arms.

"Whew, these should be enough for the next few days, we have to break through the second layer quickly."
