Chapter 245: Cutting down trees
Half an hour later, two sword lights in the distance flew towards Liu Yu at great speed, and it was Fang Lanlan, Sun Kang, Liang Zheng and He Anqing, who rushed over looking for the instructions of the sect's jade plate.
"Wow, is this the Qingling Tree, it's so beautiful!" He Anqing jumped to the ground, looked up and said excitedly.
"The branches are luxuriant, verdant and dripping, and the body of the tree is full of the true qi of the green spirit, yes, it is the green spirit tree. Sun Kang looked up and down and replied.
"Senior Brother Liu, it's been a hard work!" Fang Lanlan said sincerely when she came to Liu Yu's side with a happy look on her face.
"That's good! Senior Brother Liu, Senior Sister can follow you this time. He Anqing laughed.
"Thank you, senior sister compliment!" Liu Yu replied with a chuckle.
"Senior Brother Sun, the tree has been found, what should I do next, do you want to cut it down directly?" Liang Zheng also looked excited.
"First cut down these trees around to make a piece of land, and then dig out this green spirit tree. Sun Kang glanced at several big trees next to each other and said.
The five of them began to swing their swords and cut down the surrounding trees, directly clearing a clearing from the dense forest, and then dug up the entire Qingling Tree by the roots and put it down in the clearing.
"Senior brother, let's see how many years this green spirit tree has grown?" Fang Lanlan said expectantly. Because the longer the Qingling Tree grows, the higher the value of the Qingling Tree, if a few people are lucky, this is a thousand-year-old tree, and everyone will be able to send it.
"Senior Brother Sun, take a look!" He Anqing also urged anxiously.
Sun Kang cut the huge Qingling Tree into two sections with a sword, and the lines of the broken mouth were extremely dense, surrounding one circle after another, Sun Kang squatted down and began to carefully count the annual rings one after another, while the others waited anxiously on the side.
"There are more than three hundred and forty laps!" Sun Kang said happily after counting.
"Such a big tree is only three hundred and forty years old!" He Anqing said in disappointment. He Anqing looked at the thick trunk and the bark of the ravines, and thought that this was a thousand-year-old tree!
"The older the Qingling Tree, the richer the Qingling True Qi it emits, and the easier it is to be discovered, this one can grow to more than three hundred years, which is already very good!" Fang Lanlan said happily. With a smile on her face, she was a little surprised, because Fang Lanlan expected that this Qingling Tree would be more than two hundred years at most.
"Senior sister is right, the bigger the Qingling Tree, the older the tree will be. This green spirit tree has been shaped for a hundred years, and no new branches will be regenerated after a hundred years, and the size is almost the same, but the stronger the green spirit true qi contained in the tree, the more rare it will be. Sun Kang explained.
"Senior Brother Sun, how many spirit stones can this green spirit tree be worth?" He Anqing asked nervously.
"I don't know much about my brother, I can only find out when I return to Beiluan City!" Sun Kang shook his head and said.
"A green spirit tree of three hundred and forty years old can be sold for at least twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones or more. Fang Lanlan said in a firm tone.
"Sister Lan, is it really?" He Anqing asked excitedly. Thinking in his heart, if he could sell more than 30,000 low-grade spirit stones, the five of them would be divided equally, and one person would get at least 6,000 low-grade spirit stones, and the harvest would be too rich this time.
"Senior sister, how do you know?" Sun Kang couldn't help but ask.
"Little sister asked a senior brother who worked in Huang Lingpu about the approximate price of the green spirit wood, a hundred-year-old green spirit tree, the price is about 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, and the price doubles every hundred years, this one has more than three hundred and forty years, and it will definitely be sold for more than 30,000 low-grade spirit stones. Fang Lanlan explained.
It turned out that since the discovery of the Green Spirit Bird, Fang Lanlan had read many books, and at the same time inquired about various information about the Green Spirit Bird and the Green Spirit Wood, and had done enough relevant homework.
The five of them laughed and began to deal with the huge green spirit tree on the ground, first dividing the thick trunk into large stakes, then cutting the branches into sections, and finally cleaning the stump full of dirt and dividing it into four large pieces.
The pieces of green spirit wood were put into their respective storage bags, and when they returned to Beiluan City, they were replaced with spirit stones together, and after a busy hour, only a layer of leaves and scattered branches were left on the ground.
At this time, the sky also darkened, so the five of them simply set up a tent in the open space and spent the night in the same place.
Sun Kang took Liu Yu to go around in the woods and hunted back a fat boar. The fur was plucked, the internal organs were removed, and after cleaning, they were placed directly on the campfire.
After a while, a thick aroma of meat wafted up, and the whole boar became charred and yellowed, dripping with oil juice from time to time, and falling on the charcoal fire to make a "sizzle" sound.
Liu Yu and the four of them gathered around the bonfire, watching Sun Kang skillfully reverse the boar, and from time to time sprinkle some condiments, salt, and brush with some sesame oil, all waiting to eat, especially He Anqing, staring straight at not reserved at all.
"Senior Brother Sun, where are we going next?" Fang Lanlan asked casually.
"Yes, where is Senior Brother Sun going next?" He Anqing also asked.
The five of them found the Qingling Tree in only half a month after entering the mountain, and there is still more than a month to go, so they can search in the mountains.
"We're staying here these days, and if we search this forest carefully, we should have a lot to gain. Sun Kang said confidently.
Just now, Sun Kang and Liu Yu went around and found that this forest was extremely dense, with ancient trees and few human traces. The green spirit tree found by the five people has grown here for more than three hundred years, and it has not been found, which also confirms this from the side, Sun Kang guessed that this forest should have a lot of elixirs that are old.
"Senior brother, do you mean?" Fang Lanlan said happily after being reminded by Sun Kang, and quickly understood the truth.
"Yes, we'll find out tomorrow. Sun Kang didn't wait for Fang Lanlan to finish speaking, then nodded in response.
"Sister Lan, what are you talking about?" He Anqing asked confusedly when she saw Fang Lanlan's excited appearance.
"Didn't we find it in this forest..."Fang Lanlan explained in detail.
"Great! Tomorrow I wish I could find a few thousand-year-old elixirs!" He Anqing couldn't help but look forward after listening to Fang Lanlan's words.
"You really dare to think about it!Why don't you say that you have found the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ginseng!" Liang Zheng knocked on He Anqing's head and teased.
"I want you to take care of it! Anyway, I will definitely find more elixirs than you tomorrow!" He Anqing said with Liang Zheng's hand.
"Don't make a fuss, the boar is roasted, you can cut it if you want to eat it. Sun Kang cut off a piece of back fat and handed it to Fang Lanlan and said.
"Senior Brother Sun, quickly cut a good piece for me. He Anqing handed the plate to Sun Kang and said coquettishly.
The five people began to eat the roasted whole pig, Liu Yu cut a piece of front foot meat, the color of the boar meat is burnt and buttery, the bite is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the fat is overflowing, because the special condiments are sprinkled in advance, the meat is too tender, not greasy and not fat, extremely delicious.
The recipe for Sun Kang's condiments was obtained from a famous chef in Baixianglou, Liu Yu asked about it a few days ago, and waited for the recipe from Sun Kang, eating delicious barbecue, Liu Yu decided to return to Beiluancheng and take the time to make some by himself.
