Thousands of acres of spiritual fields under the blood-colored sky, although it is a thousand acres of land, but the elixir in the field is sparse, but it does not feel desolate, but feels neat and orderly.

In a huge piece of land, there are only two elixirs at most, and many of them only have one elixir, perhaps because they want the elixir to better absorb the aura, so they are deliberately planted so sparsely.

However, this place is not as numerous as the Refining Weapon Mountain, and there is not a single monk in sight, except for the lush herbs and trees elixir, no other living beings appear.

Zhou Geng, Sisi and Jing Jing were assigned here to grow magic medicine, a bit like the feeling of committing a felony and being exiled to the frontier to open up the wasteland.

Although the three of them were very unhappy, but the sect master personally spoke, and they had no choice but to obediently accept their fate...... Even Zhou Geng, who talks a lot, has shut up, what else can the second daughter say?

At this time, an old man walked in front of him, wearing a cloth coat wrapped around his rickety body, with a dragon clock, and the skin and flesh on his face were slightly relaxed, looking not terrifying, a little amiable and approachable.

The old man walked in front of the three of them without hurrying, a smile rose on the corner of his mouth, and said: "There have been no outsiders in the medicine garden for a long time, and today you are here, my heart is very happy, and then I will teach you to grow elixir." ”

"Do I still need to hand over the elixir? Wouldn't it be good to bury the seeds directly in the spiritual field and use spiritual power to urge growth!" Zhou Geng had never planted an elixir, but he had planted flowers and trees, and he thought that the method should be similar.

The old man smiled and shook his head, took them to get the seeds, and explained as he walked: "There are many kinds of elixirs, different elixirs have different methods, just relying on spiritual power to urge growth, it is tantamount to pulling out seedlings to help grow, and it is harmful to the elixir that is still in the seedling state." ”

After a while, they came to a simple wooden house, where shelves were filled with all kinds of elixir seeds and elixir seedlings that had just been successfully experimented.

The three of them didn't need to ask, they knew that these must have been researched by the old man himself, maybe the old man was the only manager and caretaker of this thousand acres of spiritual field, and was responsible for studying how various elixir seedlings could survive and grow rapidly.

"Laneige, Muyang Flower, Longteng Grass...... Although these are not particularly rare elixirs, they are not so easy to obtain. Moreover, these are seedlings with germinated seeds, not picked from the wild and planted, and the difficulty factor is many times higher. Si Si Sakura's lips moved slightly, explaining the difficulty.

"The little girl knows a lot, but it is true that as you said, in order to make these seeds germin and grow smoothly, I have almost exhausted my whole life in research, especially these seeds are not easy to find, so I don't pick them when the elixir is ripe, and when the elixir is old, it will bear a lot of seeds, and after a long time of collecting, it will have the appearance you see now. ”

The old man's cloudy gaze, every time he looked at the elixir seedlings and seeds in front of him, he was full of relief and pride, after all, these were the fruits of his life, and he had given everything for these things.

"You can choose any elixir seed, remember that you can only choose once, you can't go back when you leave this wooden house, and when the time comes, I will tell you how to plant it, and what problems you need to pay attention to. ”

Zhou Geng picked up a small seed with a faint red luster, sniffed the tip of his nose, his soul felt a burst of relief, looked at it and asked, "What kind of elixir is this seed after it sprouts?"

Although the old man's eyes were cloudy, he could recognize the seeds in his hands at a glance, perhaps this was the experience of dealing with elixirs all his life.

"The Blood Lotus has the effect of strengthening the soul and healing the wounds of the soul, and is most suitable for monks who specialize in cultivating the soul. ”

Zhou Geng's eyes glowed faintly after hearing this, he just had a trick that applied to the soul, if this elixir was planted, he would not hand it in, and eat it directly.

"That's what I'm going to do!"

"Little friend is sure to plant a blood lotus?" the old man said emphatically.

"Well, I will never regret planting this!" Zhou Geng's eyes nodded firmly, and the blood lotus seed was held tightly in his hand.

Sisi and Jingjing have also selected the elixir they need to plant, they know more than Zhou, they don't need to ask the old man, and they also know what kind of elixir these seeds can grow.

The old man didn't say much to respect their choice, turned around and took the three of them to the spiritual field outside the house, first helped Sisi and Jingjing pick a good piece of land, and taught them the planting method, so that the two of them could play on their own.

The old man took Zhou Geng to a quiet canyon again, and he couldn't help but ask: "Old man, you brought me here, don't you want me to plant blood lotus here!"

"Blood lotus is a negative plant, it can't be exposed to the sun for a long time, you must choose a place that is dark and full of spiritual energy all year round, and you need to feed it with essence blood every day until the seeds break the ground and germinate. ”

When the old man said the planting method, he couldn't help but gasp, this ghost thing still needs him to feed it with essence blood, so it's a fart!

"Uncle, can I change it? It's not that I'm afraid that it will suck my blood, but the main thing is that I don't want to stay in such a dark place, and I feel strange and uncomfortable. Zhou Geng tried his best to pretend to be nothing.

"No, I told you before that once you leave the wooden house, you can't go back, because after these seeds leave the wooden house, if they are not planted in time, they will automatically die after a while, do you know the value of a seed?"

The old man's kind face showed a hint of displeasure, maybe these seeds were as important to him as his own children, and he didn't want to waste even a single seed.

Zhou couldn't see the uncle's realm cultivation, but he knew that the uncle was definitely not simple, and now that the other party's face was slightly gloomy, he didn't want to insist on forcing a change of species, so he would plant it for the time being.

"Uncle, are you alone in the huge elixir?" Zhou changed the topic to ease the atmosphere, and he didn't know how long he would stay here, so he had to have a good relationship with the uncle.

"I used to have a few friends, but unfortunately they all feathered immortals, leaving me as an old bone to survive. Let's talk about loneliness, I still have these elixirs with me, and I'm not too lonely. ”

"If you say that you are not lonely, but you can't find someone to talk to, you will occasionally think of the days when those old friends were reborn, maybe people are old like this, and they will always inadvertently miss the past. The old man's words are full of loneliness, others look forward to the future, and he misses the bits and pieces of the past.

Zhou is a straight young man, who has not experienced the twilight life of the old man, but he can also feel one or two.

Looking at familiar scenes, familiar things, but there are no familiar people. The contemporaries are gone, and only one person is left to live alone, which is more terrible than he has crossed over, and he feels no better.

The old man led him into the depths of the canyon, where the sun could not shine, and the aura was very abundant, which was an excellent place to plant blood lotus.

"You can plant here with peace of mind, I will come and check every two or three days, and you can come to me if you have any questions. After speaking, the old man turned around and left, the back showed old and lonely, staggering, unsteady, every step lifted and fell, making people feel like they would fall down at any time.

This scene touched Zhou Geng a lot, and he said with emotion: "I don't know if I will be lonely and helpless when I get old, and I don't even have anyone to talk to, it's sad to think about it, hey!"

When he came back to his senses, he suddenly found that the blood lotus seed was missing, and he searched all over his body, but he still couldn't find it.

"What should I do? What should I do now?" Zhou was even more anxious and scratched his hair, "If you ask the old man for it, it is estimated that he will be slapped to death!"

He took a few deep breaths and rubbed his temples to calm himself down as much as possible, thinking about when he started not paying attention to the Blood Lotus Seed, maybe it was inadvertently dropped at that time.

Zhou Geng suddenly thought of the characteristics of the seeds, patted his head and said: "Yes, the appearance of the blood lotus seeds has a faint red luster, and the canyon is extremely dark. ”

Although it was pitch black all around, with only a little pitiful fainting, Zhou Geng still kept his eyes open, carefully inspected the potholes and uneven roads, and did not let go of any corner, for fear that his own negligence would pass by the blood lotus seeds.
