Chapter 66: The Garden of Herbs

"Fifty-one, fifty-two······ Fifty-six.

Stretching out a finger, Huo Xu finally counted the number of Yuanjing bowls lined up on the ground.

This was the third count, and his sharp gaze swept the fifty-six Yuan Crystal Bowl three times, confirming that the bottom of the bowl had been scraped very cleanly, and there was not a single grain of red powder left.

Only then did the Yuan Jing Bowl be returned to the spirit of the object.

For several days, he hadn't forgotten to dry the Demon Blood Mushroom Juice every day, the jade bottle earlier was already full of one bottle of mushroom powder, and the other jade bottle was already forty percent full.

"Click!"

The sound of raindrops, coming from the spirit of things, was more pleasant than music, and Huo Xu's facial muscles that had just relaxed couldn't help but tremble slightly, and then he grinned, like listening to Xianle's ears for a while.

His eyes swept to the fields outside the drying field, to the three acres of fertile dry land surrounded by low fences, and his eyes were filled with the meaning of declaring sovereignty.

This is his land, including the one-cent drying field under his feet and the ancient mansion behind him, the land and real estate are all in his name, and the title deeds and house deeds are all in his hands.

The life of the earth drifting in the south, the past life of interstellar drifting, the orphan-like present life, he has gone through three lives and three lives, and for the first time has a complete and independent property property, he inevitably has some emotion in his heart.

Shui Zhizhi, the patriarch of the Shui clan, said that the ceiling of his life needs to be stretched and tested infinitely by himself, and in case of misfortune to slip to the floor, at worst, he can be a small landlord with no worries about food and clothing in the Shui Manor, and there is no abyss under the floor.

These three acres of land, a house, and a drying field are used to cover him.

At first, Huo Xu was very unimpressed with this bit of land and real estate, with three acres of land, he could not survive starvation or death, at best, he could only be regarded as a lower middle peasant, and he could not be a small landlord.

Later, I thought about it, it is better to have a place to give life a foundation than to have nothing, so I changed from being grateful and insensitive to being disrespectful.

Shui Zhizhi's move may only have symbolic meaning, but the power is enough, no, as a descendant of the Huo Clan, Huo Xu's mind is quietly sliding towards the Shui Clan's Manor, even if this sense of belonging is not normal, he did not resist.

"Whew!"

A figure entered the drying field from outside the fence, and in Huo Xu's sight, the sunset reflected a familiar human face and a familiar official robe.

Thinking that a three-star Yuan Jue actually learned from Yuan Shi and Yuan Shao Fei, he laughed loudly, and he was not rude: "Counselor Rose, thank you for saving me in the morning." ”

"Humph!"

With a cold snort from herself, Grey Rose walked straight to the only rattan chair, sat down, crossed her legs, turned sideways and threw Huo Xu a roll of the eyes:

"I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Shui Zhimei poured you, you fought with your life to help the Shui family, just for Xiaohui, who left a few acres of fields, to be a farmer without interest? are all quasi-second stage yuanshi, with this ability, why not help the fire clan in the waning West Mountain! ”

"It's different." Walking to the edge of the field, Huo Xu took out the rue grass and raccoon grass with soil, looked at it, and said, "The Shui clan is worth helping, the Huo clan······ Simply die and be reborn! ”

"Hmm!" Gray rose was stunned, one of the most chewable oddities she'd ever heard.

Her gaze moved to the two weeds that Huo Xu regarded as treasures, and she pursed her lips in disdain.

The leaves of the russel grass and the raccoon grass are withered and yellow, and the ears are formed on them, and Huo Xu stares at them, not sure whether to transplant them directly, or only pick the grass seeds and sow them.

Too lazy to watch Huo Xu guard the two weeds and get sick, Gray Rose changed to a comfortable sitting position, looked at the sunset at the end of the horizon, and asked:

"Do you think there will be something big going on in the capital in the near future?"

"No, it won't." Huo Xu cast a clear and slightly puzzled look, "Everything will go according to plan, and major matters will have to wait for Emperor Kangjing to be decided after he leaves the customs." ”

Gray Rose lay on her chair almost on all fours, her eyes moving from the distant mountains that were half-shaded from the sunset, to the clear lake and the pale red autumn forest outside the fence, and finally to the ancient mansion with carved beams and paintings hidden in the white snowy forest.

Her eyes couldn't help but light up: this guy really landed a picturesque treasure!

"Don't you want to give this place a name?" Gray Rose asked.

"Herb Garden."

Responding casually, Huo Xu finally made up his mind, and used the yuan chip to dig out two small pits in the field, put the roots of the brusel grass and the raccoon grass into the pit, and filled the soil and planted it.

Watching Huo Xu clumsily planting grass, Grey Rose frowned, but she was quite puzzled in her heart.

There seem to be two Huoxu in the world, one is ignorant, and sometimes his brain is not lightly ill; The other is scheming, and the clouds are light and the wind can disturb the temple.

The two Huo Xu are very real, and they can switch roles in an instant, and the two are put together, which does not seem inconsistent at all.

What is certain is that the reason why the previous Huo Xu appeared must be because he temporarily let go of his deep obsession, and the people around him are people he believes in, just like now.

Grey Rose wasn't moved by this trust, but, in all fairness, she still preferred the former Huo Xu.

In the face of an ignorant teenager, she doesn't need to burn her brain, and she can show her insightful demeanor.

"Get out of the way, crappy farmer!"

She couldn't stand it anymore, so she got up and kicked the rattan chair out of the way.

Gray rose waved her hand lightly, and a faint blue flame gushed out from her palm, overflowing against the surface, and in a blink of an eye, it completely covered three acres of dry land.

The blue flame seeped into the soil and burned, and the scene was immediately filled with a rich smell of burning, and the crackling sound was non-stop.

"My field! My weed! Huo Xu ran back to the drying field to avoid the blazing heat, and said in pain.

Ten years later, three acres of dry land had become a dead land devoid of any life.

"Thousands of years of fish roe, 10,000 years of grass seeds, where there is water there are fish, where there is soil and where grass grows, haven't you heard this folk proverb?" Gray Rose looked at Huo Xu Dao like an idiot.

As soon as the slender hand was closed, the blue flame was extinguished.

With the movement of her hands again, a stream of blue mist spread out from her palms, enveloping the field and seeping into the scorched soil.

Recalling that folk proverb, looking at the three acres of dry fields in front of him that were cooling down and the soil was becoming more and more fluffy, Huo Xu faintly felt that he had made a common-sense mistake.

"Rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, this is very applicable to the Water Manor." When the soil temperature dropped to normal temperature, Grey Rose withdrew and said meaningfully.

Huo Xu's gaze quickly swept towards the boundless Shui Manor, no, the Shui Clan would not let go of the alien grass in the wild, but they definitely didn't want to dig grass in their own manor.

Gray rose unleashed several streaks of blue light with one hand, and the energy beams crossed the fence and swept towards the autumn forests, meadows, and lakes in the distance.

However, in the blink of an eye, before Huo Xu could see the rapid extension of the energy beam, the blue light began to retract, and with it, there were large clumps of aquatic plants, fallen leaves, and dense particles.

Under the control of a powerful force, aquatic weeds and fallen leaves were crushed, decayed and fermented at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

Another slender hand waved, blue light appeared, and suddenly, like a knife, the top soil clods of three acres of dry land were suspended in the air.

At the moment when the natural organic fertilizer made of aquatic plants and fallen leaves is mixed with dense grass seeds, the giant soil clods in the air are scattered as fine particles.

At a glance, the three acres of dry land seem to be covered with a layer of soft soil.

"Wow!"

A pool of clear lake water was pumped up into the air by the powerful Yuan Li, floating like a flowing cloud, scattering into thousands of droplets, and sprinkling them on the field.

Less than a hundred breaths later, Grey Rose finished all this, then put her hands behind her back, slowly approached the stunned Huo Xu, and said in a mocking tone: "Want to be a farmer? You're not qualified.

But if you're lucky, I've sown one hundred and seven grass seeds, and when spring starts next year, this will be a veritable herb garden, and you can try your hand at making herb liquid. ”

She walked straight to the fence and said, "I will retreat for more than ten days, and within half a month, you and the two Shui sisters will stay together, don't go out and make trouble." ”

Seeing the incomparably familiar figure of the official robe disappear into the autumn forest, Huo Xu touched his head and muttered, "She will be promoted to a four-star Yuanjue?" So fast! ”

He quickly turned his head to look at the sky.

In the twilight of the four, it was time to practice at night again.

······

It's still the secret room made of boulders.

The familiar flame pattern, the familiar jade jade pot, and the familiar Yuanjing Dish are just minerals placed on top of the Yuanjing Plate······

It's actually Black Source Crystal!

A small piece of mineral, weighing about half a tael, was only half of the Qingyuan Crystal that he spent on each cultivation on weekdays, but it was a black source crystal of astonishing value, reflected in the faint amethyst lamp, exuding a demonic light.

Huo Xu didn't show any surprise overly much, he seemed very used to enjoying such good treatment.

Huo Xu still understands the personalities of Shui Zhizhi and Shui Zhimei, and the two Shui sisters are not stingy, especially the soft-hearted patriarch Shui Zhizhi, in order to help him, he will not spare the wealth of the Shui Clan.

However, her generosity is not pure generosity without aim, on the contrary, in her eyes, all resources should be worth the money.

This intention to pay for returns has nothing to do with reciprocating transactions, but only with Huoxu's own gains and losses.

In other words, investing resources in Huo Xu must be able to really help him appropriately, otherwise, she will definitely not waste resources in vain.

Today, they did not hesitate to give him the black source crystal of amazing value for cultivation, which showed that in the eyes of the sisters, Huo Xu should break through as soon as possible.

As for why he had to break through as soon as possible in their opinion, Huo Xu didn't even bother to think about the reason.

Sprinkle the herb liquid and cooked water into the Yuanjing plate, untie the robe, and Huo Xu held the plate on his chest, urging his mind to quickly sink into a state of fasting and forgetting.

The revived Yuan Shen is still infinitely far away, swimming in the boundless starry sky.

And at this moment, the secret room was filled with fog.

The white mist gathered into a clump and contracted inward, swirling around his body, spiraling and flipping.

His body was no longer as bright as usual, with bright colors such as blue, yellow, and crimson, but was completely black.

The black light on the body surface became heavier and heavier, jumping rapidly as if trying to break through the fog, and the white fog was unwilling to give up the lock on the black mang, just in the long-term entanglement, the color of the body surface occurred different degrees of neutralization effect, from dark black to blazing white, mixed and intertwined, he became a brindle man.

The white of the white fog and the black of the black mang, these two colors are put together, from the visual effect, it is not terrifying, on the contrary, they seem to be the pure colors that should exist between heaven and earth, simple and pure, but with a unique sense of mystery.

In Huo Xu's body, the two-colored cyclone began to rotate rapidly, and the black energy that decomposed from it dispersed into the limbs and bones; The orange energy was converted into a steady stream of beige yuan power in the form of class power exchange, which merged into the original cyclone in his body.

Even in a state of fasting and forgetting, his Yuan Shen power was still faintly aware that the original cyclone in his body had changed color, from the cyan of the past to the current beige.

The beige cyclone, one of Yuanshi's symbols, should have been formed at the moment when he was promoted to Yuanshi, but it was ignored by him at that time.

"Click······"

The familiar sound came from the bones, and every time this sound sounded, it meant that the tenacity of the meridians, bones, and muscles of his whole body had increased again.

Suddenly, there was a slightly stronger tremor than ever felt from the gas field······
