Su Chen has never had any intersection with Zhuang Bufan, and he can't talk about likes and dislikes, but he just doesn't want to get close to this Zhuang Gongzi.

At the beginning, in the underground cave of Yunmengze, the situation was very sinister, but because Su Chen and Zhuang Bufan stepped into the pseudo-foundation realm almost at the same time, under each other's scruples, there was no real fighting conflict, and the rich elixir in the cave was equally shared.

Zhuang Bufan has a gentle smile in front of everyone, quite cordial and polite, which is difficult to turn away. As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when you reach out, Zhuang Bufan took the initiative to visit as a fellow brother, and Su Chen didn't want to let him come.

After Zhuang Bufan left, Su Chen always felt that his residence was not very safe, and a small formation light mask was not very powerful. It can only prevent thieves, and cannot resist other foundation building monks forcibly breaking in.

Su Chen immediately asked Wu Qiaofu for help, went to the deep mountains and old forests of Penglai Immortal Sect, and found a wild second-order top-grade peach blossom spirit tree.

The bark of this second-order high-grade spirit wood was very hard, even if Su Chen used a flying sword to chop it, it would only hurt its bark by half an inch.

Su Chen and Wu woodcutter dug it up and moved it back to transplant it in the middle of his yard.

When he was fine, Su Chen let Tao Yao, a wood spirit, live in this spirit peach tree and act as a "watchman tree demon".

Tao Yao does not always stay in Lingshan, every day when the sun is scorching and the moon is full at night, he will come out to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon.

When Su Chen was cultivating, or when he left for a short time, he let it live in this second-order peach tree and guard the courtyard.

In case someone trespasses into the yard, it will turn into a peach tree demon and can also find the block in time. With the strength of this second-order peach tree demon, it would be difficult for a Idle Foundation Cultivator to win in a short time.

Having this peach tree demon guarding the door late at night is undoubtedly a great increase in safety.

...

In the Penglai Immortal Sect for more than a year, Su Chen rarely went out, except for occasionally going to Tonglu Mountain to refine the pill every one or twenty days, the rest of the time he spent the rest of his time in the small courtyard and cultivated behind closed doors.

After Su Chen was promoted to the second layer of the foundation building period, he found that the bud of his Qinglian Yuan God had also opened the second petal.

It is estimated that the nine petals of this blue lotus flower are fully opened, which is the ninth layer of the foundation building period.

"If I break through the realm of the Jindan stage one day... Could it be that the Qinglian Yuan Shen would have contracted a lotus seed? Jindan and lotus seeds are also quite similar. ”

Su Chen couldn't help but think to himself in his heart. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.

In addition to cultivation and alchemy, the rest of the energy is naturally planted in the spirit gourd.

One acre of spiritual field in Lingshan is about eight zhang long and wide.

Among them, the Seven Treasure Gourd Spirit Vine, a batch of high-grade elixirs from Zhuji Dan, and many low-grade elixirs used to refine ordinary elixirs accounted for half of the one acre of spiritual field.

Su Chen scratched the remaining half of the place and handed it to Tao Yao to experiment with planting the mutated spirit gourd.

The gourd spirit vine is very large, a spirit gourd stand should occupy an area of one zhang, and thirty-two seedlings of the gourd spirit vine can be planted at a time. This greatly improves the efficiency of obtaining multi-treasure gourds.

In just over a year, more than 400 days have been carried out, and a total of four batches of spirit gourds have been tested, each batch of 32 plants. Every ten days, a batch of small spirit gourds will be produced.

It is a pity for Su Chen that under the wide planting and thin harvest, there has never been a three-treasure gourd with the same root.

However, the two treasure gourds appeared three times.

This made Su Chen also talk about **.

It's just that two of them have wood, water, and earth gourds, which are weak attributes, and their combat power is weak after refining into magic weapons.

Su Chen only left another Erbao gourd, which was in a very good growth state, and it was a "wood, gold" two treasures. This gold system is powerful enough, which can just make up for his lack of combat power.

As for the single treasure gourd, the harvest is naturally more, such as ice, wind gourd, and so on.

But Su Chen is a wood-based immortal cultivator, and his mana is cyan wood qi, so he can only use wood-based magic weapons. Cannot use other ice or wind weapons.

Only the multi-treasure gourd is an exception, like the "wood, gold" two treasure gourd, which is a set of magic tools born from the same root.

He only needs to drive one of them, and he automatically drives the other at the same time.

Su Chen discarded all the single treasure gourds, shoveled them together with the spirit gourd spirit vines that failed the experiment, and used them as fertilizer in the spirit field, so as not to waste their spiritual energy.

Tao Yao continued to plant spirit gourds in Lingshan to see if he could grow gourds with more than three treasures.

Su Chen didn't take the treasure gourd to sell.

This multi-treasure gourd is a rare thing, and if there are a few more on the market, it is easy to cause surprise and suspicion.

Besides, if you have this treasure gourd yourself, why bother with other foundation building monks. Su Chen didn't want to meet other monks who also had a few second and third treasure gourds hanging around their waists when he was wandering around the Immortal Sect.

He only left one Erbao gourd, and let it continue to grow in the spiritual field, continue to produce more small gourds, and improve the grade. Wait for it to grow to the second-order upper grade, and then refine it into a set of second-order small supreme magic weapons in the foundation building period.

...

In the Spirit Mountain, in addition to being planted with spiritual herbs and gourd spirit vines, there are also six first-order middle-grade larvae of the Golden Phoenix Butterfly in the Qi refining period, as well as a second-order ice silkworm.

The six golden phoenix silkworms hatched from the eggs, and they were raised by Su Chen as soon as they were born, and they were easily domesticated into spirit insects.

The ice silkworm is different, it is wild and has a strong sense of resistance.

It took Su Chen more than a year to tame the wild second-order ice silkworm.

Compared to Tao Yao, this second-order ice silkworm looks stupid, but in fact, it already has a low-level spiritual intelligence, and it is quite afraid of death.

It took several months for it to be hungry, so it reluctantly accepted Su Chen's "feeding" and ate a little spiritual dew and spiritual honey.

This is a crucial step in the transformation of wild demon insects into domesticated spirit insects. If it goes on a hunger strike, it means that it cannot be domesticated at all, and can only be killed, roasted and eaten.

Su Chen often starved it, and when it was hungry, he domesticated it, and only gave it a little food if he was obedient.

Su Chen used it for more than half a year to domesticate it obediently and obey orders. It wasn't until it was completely docile and tame that it was put into the Spirit Mountain and handed over to Tao Yao to continue training.

Su Chen didn't know how long it would take for this ice silkworm to form a pupa and turn into a butterfly and step into the realm of the Jindan stage.

Tao Yao trained it with a peach branch every day, forcing it to spit out a long ice silk every few days. Prevent it from storing strength, and at the same time, it can also obtain a rather valuable second-order ice silk material.

This ice silk material has a lot of uses, with an excellent effect of "divine thought penetration and vision penetration", and it is a top-level material for refining "stealth" magic weapons.

Su Chen collected these ice silk raw materials, prepared enough quantities, and refined them into an invisibility magic weapon. However, it will also take a long time.

...

Su Chen not only planted spirit gourds in Lingshan, but also planted spirit gourds in pieces inside and outside his yard and in the surrounding spiritual fields.

He went to the large farm of Penglai Immortal Sect, and Hua Lingshi bought some spirit gourd vines that had been planted for one or two decades, and transplanted them directly into the yard.

In this way, it didn't take long for the gourd spirit vine to produce a small spirit gourd, which also saved him a lot of time.

Of course, he didn't expect to be able to grow a multi-treasure gourd in such a place, mainly to hide people's eyes. Let others know that he has planted a lot of spirit gourds, and it won't be too strange to see him use the two treasures and three treasure gourd magic weapons in the future.

Before these spirit gourds are aged, in addition to being used to refine the spirit gourd magic weapon, they can actually be eaten, like the spirit valley, their aura can be absorbed by immortal cultivators.

Su Chen occasionally planted a few spirit gourds and fried them into a piece of spirit vegetable delicacies, which were eaten with Linggu rice.

...

Although the mountain peak yard where Su Chen lives is located in a remote area, people often come to visit.

Over the course of the year, there has been an endless stream of monks who have taken the initiative to visit the door.

Shen Dong, a small trader in the late stage of qi refining, has a very active business brain, and since the last time he earned a lot of spirit stones, he often came to Su Chen to seek business opportunities.

Su Chen also needed Shen Dong, a Qi refining stage cultivator who was very familiar with the Penglai Immortal Sect, to help find medicinal materials. He sold the second-order spirit pill he had refined to Shen Dong, and then Shen Dong sold it, saving a lot of trouble.

In addition to Shen Dong, more of them were naturally the alchemists of the Penglai Immortal Sect.

Such as Zhang Zhuo, senior alchemist, Wang Qiu, alchemy master and others.

Master Wang Qiu has very few friends in Penglai Immortal Sect, and it is rare to make friends with Su Chen, a fellow disciple who is also from a casual cultivation background, and it is also quite pleasing to the eye, so he often comes to Su Chen every once in a while.

Su Chen returned to the capital to entertain Wang Qiu with spirit gourd dishes.

Of course, this spiritual dish is delicious.

But if you eat it too many times, it will inevitably still get greasy.

Wang Qiu's heart was inevitably weak, and he secretly thought to himself: Could it be that Senior Brother Su found that the first-order Seven Treasure Gourd was of little use, so he went back to stir-fry this Spirit Gourd dish to hint at his dissatisfaction? But if he wants to change it back, it must not be changed!

It was not easy to get rid of the first-order Seven Treasure Gourd, and he didn't want to take it back.

Fortunately, Su Chen didn't mention this matter at all, which made Wang Qiubai worry for a long time.

On this day, Wang Qiu and Su Chen sat under a peach tree in the courtyard, finished eating, and tasted wine.

Wang Qiu saw that there were spirit gourd vines planted everywhere inside and outside Su Chen's courtyard, and he was very puzzled: "Strange, Senior Brother Su, why are you suddenly so interested in these spirit gourds? Why are there spirit gourds planted all over the yard?"

"Ah, Senior Brother Wang doesn't know. Recently, I am planning to engage in spiritual farming and try to grow multi-treasure gourds. It's just that the difficulty is a bit high, and you won't be able to grow it for a while. ”

Su Chen picked up the cup and tasted the wine, and said lightly.

"Lingnong, are you planning to be an alchemist who doesn't do your job?!"

Wang Qiu almost squirted out a mouthful of spirit wine.

Alchemist and elixir master, more common. After all, they all deal with elixirs, and it doesn't hurt to grow an elixir.

But the alchemist and Lingnong, no one did this at all.

However, if Su Chen really planned to do so, I am afraid that the alchemists of the Penglai Immortal Sect would be relieved.

Lingnong's line seems simple, and any Qi refining disciple can do it. But to really go deep and become a spiritual farmer and master, the difficulty is not below that of alchemists and alchemy masters, and it takes great energy and time.

Su Chen was distracted, the improvement of this alchemy realm was probably going to be very slow, and he might not be able to become an alchemy master in his life.

This Senior Brother Su really thinks differently from ordinary people.

However, if you want to grow a multi-treasure gourd, it is extremely difficult, and it is not something that ordinary Lingnong can do.

At least he is also an experienced spiritual farmer, and it took hundreds of years to have a little hope of growing the Three Treasure Gourd.

"Senior Brother Su, if you plant many treasure gourds, you must become a spiritual farmer. You alchemist and spiritual farmer, can you be busy? ”

Wang Qiu was surprised.

"Fortunately, it doesn't take much trouble to do everything in your spare time!"

Su Chen smiled faintly.

The spirit gourd in Lingshan is taken care of by Tao Yao, doing various mutation experiments, and he doesn't bother much.

And the large piece of spirit gourd spirit vine in the courtyard residence is just to hide people's eyes and ears, and the real use is not great. When he grows a multi-treasure gourd by himself in the future, the people of Penglai Immortal Sect will not feel too strange.

What he needs is the identity of Lingnong.

What Su Chen really wants to do by himself is actually another thing, refining weapons.

This is what he has planned after careful consideration.

After this multi-treasure gourd is planted, it needs to be refined before it can be turned into a magic weapon.

If one day, he wants to pick off the Seven Treasure Gourd that has been raised to a high level and refine it into a set of superb magic weapons, this rare magic weapon will definitely set off a big wave.

Who doesn't want to take it away? The Jindan elders of the Penglai Immortal Sect probably won't be able to sit still.

He felt that it was more reliable to refine the Seven Treasure Gourd by himself.

Now that you have learned an alchemy technique, you will naturally be prepared.
