4 Draw a Chinese medicine garden
Ye Chen took two dilapidated books and an ancient painting scroll, left the book pavilion, and walked towards his residence. "I've run out of herbs I bought some time ago, so it's time to buy some new herbs to take home. Halfway through, he passed by a herb shop in the academy and remembered that he had no herbs.
"Boss Zhang, do you have any fresh herbs?"
Ye Chen touched the eight taels of silver that were still left in his pocket and entered the herbal medicine shop.
"The batch of goods that just came in this morning, fresh herbs picked from the mountains, tender and juicy. On the shelves, pick for yourself!"
Boss Zhang of the herb shop is settling accounts at the counter.
Ye Chen came to the shelf.
On the shelves of the small shop, there are a lot of herbs, on which there are bamboo labels indicating the price, grade and use, the herbs for quenching and cultivating, and the healing herbs, which are between one and three grades, which are suitable for the early stage of body refining.
"One grade of ten copper, two grades of hundreds of copper, and three grades of herbs actually cost one or two silver per plant. These three herbs are really expensive!"
Ye Qin muttered.
"This is not expensive! We don't have fourth-grade to sixth-grade herbs in this store, otherwise the price is at least tens of taels or hundreds of taels of silver, and the herbs of this grade are all bought by those wealthy families and big chambers of commerce with strong financial resources, at least our small shop is not sold. As for the rare herbs of the seventh grade and above, it is difficult to buy them with gold, and such rare herbs must be supplied to the princes and ministers of the treasury of the Wuguo Kingdom, and they cannot be seen on the market. Did the boy choose?"
Boss Zhang said with a smile.
"Oh, I'll take another look. ”
Ye Chen smacked his tongue when he heard this, and continued to think about which herbs to buy.
He used to have no money in his pocket, and he had been cultivating in the academy for ten years, and he had always used the cheapest first-grade and second-grade herbs to refine his physique, and he had never used third-grade herbs. Now he is in the middle stage of refining his body, and he has earned a lot of money by cleaning up the library and doing chores, and he has a lot of silver in his pocket, which can be used to buy three-grade herbs to refine his physique.
"Boss Zhang, I only have eight taels of silver, can you help me pick out a few pairs of third-grade herbs!?"
Ye Chen licked his lips.
This is a 30-year-old bitter ginseng, Pei Yuan solidifies the foundation, strengthens qi and blood, opens up the meridians, and takes it internally. This is a twenty-year-old red blood vine that heals internal injuries and clears away bruises. This is a ten-year snake gall fruit, boiled in a medicinal bath, to treat skin and flesh injuries. These are three-grade herbs, and there is a herb in it that has a slightly lighter medicinal power, I will sell it to you cheaper, and charge you eight taels of silver. ”
The boss of the pharmacy shop, wrapped the three packs of herbs with both hands and said with a smile, "The combination of three pairs of herbs has an excellent quenching effect." ”
"Thanks!"
Ye Chen paid eight taels of silver, happily took three packets of herbs, and opened a herb shop. With old books and ancient paintings and three pairs of herbs for cultivation, he came to a small courtyard where remote students lived, one of which was a wooden house.
Ye Qin opened the scroll of the ancient painting called "Immortal Mansion", looked at it for a while, and placed it on the table with satisfaction. This was the first time in ten years that he had spent money on such a luxury ancient painting, which greatly satisfied his dream.
Then, he placed three pairs of herbs on the table and opened one of the packets.
"It's time to quench your body and cultivate!"
Ye Chen began to get busy, boiling hot water in a pot under the eaves, preparing to decoction the herbs for internal and external baths.
"Hey, why is there a sophora missing?!"
Ye Qin boiled the hot water, went back to the house to get the herbs, glanced at the herbs on the table, and suddenly showed surprise.
The package of herbs that was opened on the table obviously had three herbs in it, but now there was one less spine of Sophora ginseng.
"Where's my Sophora! Who stole my medicine after a while?"
Ye Chen was in a hurry, grabbed the table in one step, and picked up the herbs on the table.
Immediately, he saw something even more shocking.
I saw that in the bare medicine garden of the ancient painting scroll, there was an extra 30-year-old bitter ginseng with a medicinal power of three inches. The branches and leaves of this sophora are still fresh and green, and the growth is gratifying, which is clearly the sophora he bought.
"How did my Sophora sophora get into the ancient paintings! This Sophora sophora was bought for a tael of silver, how can I take it out?!"
Ye Chen's gaze froze, and his breathing became short.
"It seems to be growing!"
Ye Chen picked up the ancient painting scroll, rubbed his eyes, and looked at it carefully.
The sophora sophora in the painting is indeed getting bigger.
Ye Qin shook the ancient painting vigorously, and a thicker bitter ginseng fell out of the ancient painting scroll. It was more than twice as big as it used to be.
"This Sophora sophora has become six inches, at least sixty years of medicinal power, and it is completely a six-grade herb! Such a high-grade herb is not sold in the herb shop. Even if it is sold, the price is at least tens or hundreds of taels of silver. ”
Ye Chen compared the length of the bitter ginseng and swallowed his saliva.
He immediately realized something more important.
This sophora is nothing.
The truly shocking item is this scroll of ancient paintings. The one acre of medicine garden in it can actually make a three-inch-long Sophora sophora grow into a six-inch-long Sophora ginseng.
"What is this ancient painting scroll? The word "Immortal Mansion" is written on the painting scroll, is this really a magic weapon used by immortal cultivators?"
Ye Chen could not hide the shock in his heart.
If this is really an immortal magic weapon and spreads it, I am afraid it will cause a sensation in the entire Martial Kingdom. Countless swordsmen, swordsmen, and masters of the ninth layer of the body refining period will flock to the Beilu Academy to frantically snatch this treasure. Once a martial artist breaks through the ninth layer of body refining, he can enter the Yuan Shen stage and become an immortal cultivator. Who wouldn't want to own an immortal artifact?
"I'll try again and see how it works!"
Ye Chen thought for a moment and tried to put a red blood vine on the ancient painting scroll.
"Whew!"
A twenty-year-old red-blooded vine vanished out of thin air.
In the scroll of the ancient painting, in an acre of medicine garden, a blood-colored vine grows, which is beautiful and beautiful, and the painting is almost the same as the real one.
Ye Chen's eyes widened and he held his breath.
This red-blooded vine began to grow rapidly at a speed that was visible to Ye Chen's naked eye, becoming thicker and thicker.
After a while, the red blood vine fell out of the ancient painting scroll.
"That's exactly how it works!"
Ye Chen was overjoyed and used all his three pairs of herbs to try.
After trying it many times, he gradually figured out the trick of using this ancient scroll. Every time you put an herb in it, the herb will automatically fall out after it has grown to a certain extent.
"This ancient scroll is much darker than before. The original picture quality was still a little bright, but it began to become dull and dull. ”
After Ye Chen used it many times, he found that the ancient paintings had changed.
When he put in the last 'Ten Year Snake Gall Fruit' herb, it barely grew much in the medicine garden, and the snake gall fruit only grew for less than a year before falling out.
"How did the ancient painting not work?"
After Ye Chen found out about this, he was frightened and didn't dare to use it again.
"Could it be that the fields in this ancient painting are the same as the cultivated fields outside, which will consume field power?"
He was born in a civilian peasant family in Wuguo, and he knew that if the fields were planted with grain all year round, the field strength would become weaker, and the rice would become worse and worse, and it would take a year and a half of fallow to restore the field strength.
According to his understanding, most of the medicine gardens in this painting are insufficient and need to be fallow for a period of time.
"Let the ancient painting rest first, and recover Tian Li!"
