In the past few days, Shan Heyuan has been trying the smelting and composting method of "Huachun Duel".

The spiritual fertilizer sold outside is too expensive, and he has four plots of earth spiritual ginseng, all of which are bought outside, and he needs more than a thousand spiritual beads, so it is better to try to make it himself.

If the effect is not good, it is too late to go outside to buy spiritual fertilizer to apply the second fertilizer.

The smelting and composting method is a method of refining fertilizer like alchemy, mainly putting various materials into containers, using special aura guidance techniques according to a certain ratio and addition order, and then refining them by fire to refine the basic fertilizer suitable for spiritual plants.

After the fertilizer is fermented, the fire is dissipated and it can be used.

He burned it several times, and burned more than half of it, leaving two jars of fertilizer that should be about the same.

Count the days, the firepower in the fat should be dispersed today.

Shan Heyuan suppressed his excitement, walked to the vat under the eaves, held his breath and prepared to open the vat.

He took the stones, straw curtains, planks, and rags from one of the large urns in turn, and looked inside, and a large vat of dark, fluffy fertilizer instantly caught his eye.

The fertilizer seems to be not only usable, but also very fertile.

Shan Heyuan stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful, put it in his hand and twisted it, the fertilizer was very dry and loose, with a faint aura and the unique taste of plant ash.

It doesn't stink at all.

Shan Heyuan's eyes showed surprise.

I don't know what about the fertilizer underneath?

He took a hoe from the side, reached into the vat and stirred it, stirring up the manure underneath to check the situation.

The first time he used the method of smelting compost, he was afraid that the fertilizer would ferment unevenly.

If you use these unfermented fertilizers for the spirit grass, it is very easy to burn the roots, and then the loss will be great.

Just when Shan Heyuan was concentrating on observing the fertilizer, Shen Duheng's voice came from behind him: "Fermentation? ”

Shan Heyuan turned his head: "Yes, do you want to take a look?" ”

Shen Duheng raised his chin and motioned for him to give up his position.

Shan Heyuan stepped aside a little: "This fertilizer should be fermented, I think it is very similar to what is recorded in "Huachun Duel", what do you think?" ”

Shen Duheng paused: "It looks very fertile." ”

Shan Heyuan: "Then I'll try to bury fertilizer for Tuling ginseng today." ”

Shen Duheng: "Don't wait a little longer?" ”

Shan Heyuan shook his head: "No, the earth spirit has grown for so long, and the fertilizer can't keep up." This fertilizer is some soil, branches and kitchen waste, even if the effect is not good, it should not hurt, but when I bury it, bury it far away from the roots. ”

Shen Duheng no longer persuaded him: "You go early and return early." ”

Shan Heyuan looked at the sky: "It's a little late now, I guess it's not early when I come back, you have lunch by yourself at noon, don't wait for me." ”

Shan Heyuan found two more buckets and scooped the fertilizer into the buckets with a water scoop.

The particles of these fertilizers are very fine, they contain a lot of air, and they appear very light, even if he presses them firmly, the two buckets of fertilizer are not heavy, and he easily picks up the fertilizer.

It may also be because after he cultivated, his strength increased greatly, and this weight was naturally not a problem.

His house was not far from the spiritual field, and after a short time, Shan Heyuan came to the elixir field.

He hadn't come to see it for a few days, but the Earth Spirit Ginseng was growing very well, one by one it was strong and straight, and the small Spirit Gathering Array in the field was still functioning, and it was emitting a faint light.

Most of the Spirit Gathering Arrays are fine, you don't need to make up for them, just repair them when you bury fertilizer.

Shan Heyuan decided to bury fertilizer directly.

Shan Heyuan unloaded the burden on the ridge of the field, picked up the small hoe next to the bucket, lifted one of the buckets of fertilizer, slowly entered the field, dug up the soil at the root of the soil ginseng, and buried the fertilizer a fist away from the rhizome.

When burying fertilizer, in addition to repairing the Spirit Gathering Array, you also have to pull out the weeds by the way.

Otherwise, the weeds will compete with the earth ginseng for fertilizer and aura.

Shan Heyuan is multitasking, serving the earth spirit ginseng little by little.

The sun gradually rises, and the bright sunlight shines on the earth, making everything bright.

Shan Heyuan has been working for a long time, his movements have become a little mechanical, and his mind has also been scattered.

Just as he picked up another weed, his movements suddenly stopped: "Huh? ”

Something is wrong with the weeds under your hands!

He straightened up and looked into the sunlight at the weed beneath his hand.

The weed had a long, fleshy stem, with thick round leaves on both sides of the stem, and the veins were faint purple-red, which looked inconspicuous, and he didn't know the grass, but he could feel the faint aura inside.

This aura is not even worse than the aura of the earth ginseng.

After practicing "Turning into a Spring", he is very sensitive to the aura in plants, and he will never admit mistakes.

So—

Is this a spirit grass?

It seems that it is also possible that birds, birds, insects and beasts come to the elixir field to plague the earth spirit ginseng, and it is also possible to leave the feces here, and it is not strange that new spirit grass grows.

I just don't know what kind of spirit grass this is?

Shan Heyuan bent down and pinched a ball of soil, wrapped the rhizome of the spirit grass, and then put it on the ridge.

Since I don't know what kind of spirit grass it is, let's take it back and take a look.

After discovering the first spirit grass among the weeds, Shan Heyuan found three other spirit grasses in the weeds one after another, all of which were in a seedling state, and they were all spirit grasses he didn't know.

He carefully separated the spirit grasses from the weeds and wrapped them in moist earth, trying to keep them alive.

Shan Heyuan was burying fertilizer while looking for spiritual grass, and unconsciously, the sun rose directly above his head.

By the time he had finished burying the last handful of fertilizer in the bucket, it was past noon.

Shan Heyuan stood up, lifted the two empty buckets to the ridge, put the four spirit grasses he found into the buckets, and prepared to go home with the buckets.

He walked down the mountain road, and within two steps he reached the edge of the stream.

The clear spring water rushed over the stones, looking cool and clean, and he put down his burden and went to the stream to wash his hands.

After burying the fat all morning, his hands were mud and fat, and even the fingernails were black, which made him unbearable.

He picked up the water and washed his hands, grabbed a handful of fine sand at the bottom of the stream, and gently rubbed the back of his fingers.

Maybe it was because he had been concentrating on looking for spiritual grass in the weeds in the morning, and his divine consciousness continued to use it, and now he still can't take it back well, so when he was digging in the sand, his divine consciousness involuntarily spread out a little.

It was at this point that he keenly felt the aura in the stream.

It's very light, but it's really aura.

Shan Heyuan stood up and took two steps in the direction where he felt the aura.

Among the green weeds in front of him, a delicate spirit grass was exposed in front of him.

It is a small shrub-like spirit grass, without a main stem, almost every stalk is equally thick, and the sides of the stalk are covered with small feather-like leaves.

Shan Heyuan also didn't know this spirit grass, but this spirit grass had grown for at least three years, otherwise it wouldn't have grown so luxuriantly!

With joy in his eyes, he stepped forward and directly used his dexterous fingers to dig through the mud at the root of this spirit grass, and carefully dug it out.

This spirit grass has grown here for so long, and the rhizomes are as many as hair, and it took him a little effort to dig out most of the roots completely.

The medicinal value of this spiritual grass root should be the highest, because this part has the most spiritual energy.

Especially those roots that were cut off, the pure spiritual power escaped, and Shan Heyuan subconsciously operated the mental method, absorbing the spiritual energy, and the fatigue was swept away in an instant.

He stood in the water, looking up and down, trying to find other spirit grasses.

If this spirit grass had grown here for a long time, it might have blossomed and borne fruit, and the current might have carried its seeds elsewhere.

Theoretically, there must be more than this spirit grass in this stream.

Shan Heyuan searched up and down the stream, and after a while, he really found another spiritual grass.

The new spirit grass was not as big as the one dug earlier, but it was also quite large.

Shan Heyuan also carefully dug it up by the roots.

The process of collecting spirit grass was so pleasant that Shan Heyuan completely forgot the time, so he just searched up and down the stream.

It wasn't until he saw a dark red figure out of the corner of his eyes that he subconsciously raised his head.

Shen Duheng was standing not far away.

Shan Heyuan was surprised: "Brother Shen, why are you here?" What's going on at home? ”

Shen Duheng: "You don't eat lunch anymore?" ”

Only then did Shan Heyuan look at the sunset that had begun to fall in the west: "I dug the spirit grass too deeply, I forgot about it." Did you come to me because I didn't go back? ”

Shen Duheng didn't answer, only asked, "What kind of spirit grass are you digging up?" ”

Shan Heyuan held up the shrub-like spirit grass in his hand: "This one." I didn't even think that we had spirit grass here, I thought I had to go to the wild to collect spirit grass. ”

Shen Duheng's expression was quite speechless: "Isn't this the wild?" ”

Shan Heyuan: "Yes, I forgot. Someone had farmed here before, and it was normal for there to be remnants of wild spirit grass here. ”

Shen Duheng: "Go back." ”

Shan Heyuan didn't give up: "I'll look for it again to see if there's anything else." ”

Shen Duheng: "This kind of low-level spirit grass is everywhere in the wild, do you want to find a clean one if you don't eat or sleep?" ”

This taunt -

Shan Heyuan shrunk his shoulders and didn't dare to refute, so he had to come out of the stream and put the spirit grass in his hand into the bucket by the way.

After searching for so long, the spirit grass accumulated in his bucket was quite considerable.

When he put it away, he specially counted it, and there were at least seventeen spirit grasses that were more than one year old.

As for why he said at least, he couldn't tell if those spirit grasses that looked like seedlings were real seedlings.

Shan Heyuan stood by the barrel and turned his head to look at Shen Duheng: "Brother Shen." ”

Shen Duheng said "um", signaling that he had something to say.

Shan Heyuan: "Can you come over and help see if you recognize these spirit grasses?" ”

Shen Duheng walked over seriously, looked at it in the bucket, and said after a while: "The purple-red one is the main material of the Wuding Grass and the Wuding Dan. The droplet-shaped piece of spiritual grass is Jidu grass, which is detoxified. I don't know anything else. ”

Shan Heyuan rubbed his hands: "I don't know either." ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Shen Duheng.

Lingcao is more delicate than ordinary plants, yin-loving, sunny, wet-loving, and afraid of waterlogging - each kind of Lingcao has its own temperament and has higher requirements for planting conditions.

With so many spirit grasses, Shan Heyuan really didn't know how to grow them.

Dig it back, and you might die tomorrow.

Shen Duheng looked at him: "What do you want to do?" ”

Shan Heyuan: "Otherwise, while these spirit grasses are still fresh, they will be picked up and sold in the town as soon as possible?" ”

Shen Duheng: "Don't go home for dinner?" ”

Shan Heyuan scratched his face: "Go to the town and make up for it casually, see how many spirit beads you can sell, if you have a lot of income, how about I invite you to dinner?" ”

Shen Duheng agreed: "Then let's go." ”

There are so many spiritual grasses here, and Shan Heyuan didn't look for other tools, so he directly carried the bucket and Shen Duheng to take the brine worm to the town.

Grocery stores basically collect spirit grass, and he plans to find a reputable one to sell spirit grass.

The grocery store where he got the broken sword was good, and the owner was very kind in business, and he wanted to go there.

On the brine worm, Shan Heyuan chose the street he wanted to go down on the board.

After choosing, Shen Duheng glanced at it and stretched out his hand to help him cancel: "Go to the grocery store where you bought "Spring Decision". ”

Shan Heyuan didn't have any spirit beads in his hand, and he never liked to deal with this kind of high-end chain grocery store, so he hesitated: "Will that house accept spirit grass?" ”

Shen Duheng: "Receiving, the price is fair, and the shopkeeper is well-informed." ”

Shan Heyuan understood what he meant, these spiritual grasses were sent to a small grocery store, and the shopkeeper might not be able to recognize them all, and the price given was naturally not high.

It's better to go straight to a big store.

The name of the groceries that Shan Heyuan bought "Spring Decision" was "Tibetan Spirit", and this was when he was at the door, he specially looked up at the plaque above his head to recognize it.

He walked in with a bucket, and the cultivator behind the counter immediately stood up straight: "Daoist friends are coming to sell things?" ”

Shan Heyuan nodded: "Please help me take a look at these spirit grasses." ”

He bent down to take out the spirit grass from the bucket, and when he was about to put it on the counter, he saw that the roots of the spirit grass were water and mud, and he paused a little embarrassed.

The cultivator immediately took something that looked like a cloth from under the counter and laid it out: "Fellow Daoist put it here." ”

Shan Heyuan smiled gratefully at the person and put the spirit grass away.

The cultivator looked at the messy pile of spiritual grass, and flicked his finger on it: "One ten-year-old Wetted Grass, one eight-year-old Wetted Grass, two three-year-old Wetted Grass, and two three-year-old Adventitious Grass...... Three seedlings of Jidu grass. ”

While reporting the situation of the spirit plant, the cultivator flicked his finger to show them, and finally reported: "All the spirit grass adds up to a total of three thousand three hundred and sixteen spirit beads, do you want to sell them?" ”

Shan Heyuan nodded, and was about to say "sell".

Shen Duheng gently held Shan Heyuan's shoulder behind him and said to the cultivator, "The seedlings are not sold, they are taken out separately." ”

The cultivator's inquiring eyes fell on Shen Duheng and then on Shan Heyuan.

Shan Heyuan hurriedly said: "The seedlings are not sold, the others are sold." ”

The price of the seedlings was too low, and Shan Heyuan was willing to take them home and try to plant them.

Cultivator: "Okay, the two thousand six hundred and twenty-six spirit beads are counted as two thousand six hundred and thirty spirit beads, how about it?" ”

Shan Heyuan looked at Shen Duheng, Shen Duheng didn't have any opinions this time, so Shan Heyuan asked the cultivator to settle the spirit bead for them.

The cultivator agreed with a smile, and gave Shan Heyuan an extra booklet of "Spirit Grass Identification".

The spirit grass seedlings in the burden were picked up, and they were picked up as they were, but Shan Heyuan's mood was too good.

Not only because he earned spirit beads by selling spirit grass, but also because he collected wild spirit grass in the wild for the first time.

This is a business without capital, if you collect it a few more times, the account owed to Shen Duheng may be paid off soon.

Out of the "Tibetan Spirit", Shan Heyuan carried a heavy spirit bead in his arms, and said to Shen Duheng with a burden: "Brother Shen, are you hungry?" There is a noodle restaurant two streets away that is particularly delicious, I invite you to eat noodles! ”

Shen Duheng glanced at him and nodded in agreement.

Shan Heyuan happily carried the burden and wanted to take Shen Duheng to the noodle restaurant two streets away to eat noodles.

Shen Duheng followed behind him, with a smile on his face.
