Chapter 8, the hard work of serving the medicine
Coming out of Zhao Laowei's Cave Mansion, the moonlight had already dyed the entire valley a piece of silver. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Shangguan Yun didn't go back to the house, he went directly to the big stone by the waterhole and began to cultivate, firstly, he had no time during the day, and secondly, he liked the feeling of cultivating at night, especially in the moonlight, his heart was extraordinarily quiet, as if absorbing the aura was faster, of course, this may just be his own feeling.
Carefully poured out a Gathering Spirit Pill from the jade bottle, put it under his nose and sniffed it gently, a fragrance of the elixir immediately entered his lungs, and even his whole body felt a little floating, this was the first time he had obtained the elixir. You must know that in the lower courtyard, you need sixty contribution points to exchange for a Gathering Spirit Pill, and with the task of taking care of the medicine field by yourself, it is only five contribution points per month, and you can only get one in a year, and Zhao Laowei gave himself four as soon as he made a move!
After appreciating it for a while, Shangguan Yun no longer hesitated, and slowly put the Gathering Spirit Pill into his mouth, and before he could taste it carefully, the pill immediately turned into a warm liquid and flowed into his abdomen, leaving only a cool feeling. Shangguan Yun didn't dare to delay, and immediately ran the thick earth technique, and sure enough, the originally weak air currents in the meridians suddenly became much thicker, and wisps continued to merge into the dantian from all over the body, and the originally thin air masses in the dantian were also much thicker.
After a night of exercise, when the sun rises, Shangguan Yun stood up satisfied, and after practicing for the first two nights, the aura in the dantian was only half a point, and once last night, the aura in the dantian had gathered to thirty percent, and it seemed that the medicinal effect of the elixir should not be underestimated.
Feeling full of energy, Shangguan Yun hurriedly got busy, and promised Zhao Lao that he must do it, otherwise there would be no benefits, and he was afraid that it would cause trouble, thinking of this, Shangguan Yun couldn't help but laugh secretly. After carefully looking at the medicine field, Shangguan Yun decided to open an irrigation canal first, so that he would not have to work hard to carry water every day, and it was a trivial matter to be tired, mainly because it was too time-consuming.
For the next seven days, Shangguan Yun did not go out again, practicing every night, and burying his head in the medicine field during the day. During this period, Zhao Laowei also came out of the cave twice, and when he saw Shangguan Yun busy with work, he didn't say much, just smiled and turned around and went back to the cave.
On the morning of the eighth day, Shangguan Yun went up the mountain early in the morning, and when he came back in the evening, he came back with several large bundles of thick and long bamboo. It took another two days, the waterwheel was finally done, although it looked ugly, but it was very easy to use, so that the medicine field that originally took more than two hours to water can now be watered in just half an hour, and the remaining bamboo is also used by Shangguan Yun, and the phantom gold that was originally crawling all over the ground has set up a shelf.
Looking at the medicine field that was beginning to take shape, Shangguan Yun couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and what made him even happier was that after these ten days of cultivation, he felt that his thick earth technique was faintly about to break through. In the past ten days, he was not willing to take the Juling Pill again, he faintly felt that if he took it continuously, he would not be able to fully exert the effect of the pill, because after taking it last time, although the speed of practice gradually slowed down, it was not until the third day that the normal speed was completely restored.
Under the moonlight, Shangguan Yun sat on the big stone by the waterhole, his whole body relaxed, and gradually settled, as he slowly exhaled, he felt that as the aura in his body slowly merged into the dantian, the aura in the dantian had tended to be full. As the overflowing aura in the dantian began to impact the dantian outward, Shangguan Yun hurriedly changed his gestures according to the mantra, flipped his palms, and changed from the upward lifting of the palm to the downward pressing of the seal, and at the same time used his mind to guide the aura in the dantian to begin to compress it. For a while, the aura in the dantian began to flip, slowly forming a whirlpool, and all the aura was slowly compressed in the whirlpool.
Shangguan Yun was engrossed, carefully maintaining the operation of the whirlpool in the dantian, and I don't know how long it took, he suddenly felt his whole body tremble, and the whirlpool suddenly slowed down, and at this time, the aura that was originally full of dantian finally condensed, from a thin appearance into a stream of milky white thick gas, and finally slowly rotated around the whirlpool, and the dantian suddenly became much empty, and at this time, his original colorless snort had also become a little white.
Finally the first layer of the qi gathering period, this nearly half a month of cultivation was not in vain, Shangguan Yun was full of joy, he found that even if he didn't care, the whirlpool of spiritual energy in the dantian was still running slowly, and the spiritual energy in his body also ran spontaneously as if it were nothing, of course, this spiritual energy was running extremely weakly, and it was almost impossible to count the effect compared to his own luck.
Standing up slowly, feeling that his body was a lot lighter, Shangguan Yun couldn't help but beat the Five Elements Punch again, and found that at this time, his fists and feet could faintly bring out some wind sounds, and he couldn't help but let out a long howl, and when he was still unfinished, he suddenly heard Zhao Laowei shouting angrily.
"In the middle of the night, what are you little rabbit howling, your skin is itchy, isn't it?"
Shangguan Yun hurriedly shrank his head and looked at the sky, sure enough, it was the middle of the night, and he hurriedly hid in his house, but he couldn't sleep, so he turned out the book of "Thick Earth Recipe" again, and carefully consulted the second half.
The next day, when the sky was bright, Shangguan Yun hurriedly slipped out of the valley and hid in the mountains and forests to hunt, only to feel that his ears and eyes were much clearer, and even his arm strength had increased a lot, and he felt that the birch bow in his hand was also a lot softer.
After wandering in the mountains and forests for a day and a night, this time Shangguan Yun had a good harvest, not only hunted three hares, filled a bag of mountain mushrooms, but also shot a little mountain boar that attacked him without opening his eyes, but under the excitement, he completely left the matter of collecting medicine behind.
Carrying the boar straight to Fenghua Town, Shangguan Yun directly sold all the prey except a rabbit to the hotel in the town, and gave Zhao Laowei another gourd osmanthus wine, and there was more than one or two silver left.
It was already dusk when he returned to Feiliu Valley, Shangguan Yun rested for a while, went to the side of the pond as usual to roast the rabbit, divided half of it, and even sent a gourd of wine to the door of Zhao Laowei's cave mansion to put it aside, and then returned to the house and slowly ate the remaining half of the rabbit.
Early the next morning, Shangguan Yun continued to return to work in the medicine field, although the waterwheel and ditch have been completed, but it is still far from the completion of this medicine garden, first of all, it is necessary to dig out a pond, and re-transplant the moon spirit grass and green jade grass to the edge of the pond, this pond has to be dug bigger, because maybe you can plant some water in this pond in the future to grow fairy grass. These days, Shangguan Yun didn't dare to pull down the matter of reading "Fairy Materia Medica", maybe one day Zhao Lao Wei would come to test himself again, and he would definitely not be able to cope with it just by looking at that little thing before.
The days passed smoothly and orderly, Shangguan Yun continued to practice every night, worked in the medicine garden during the day, and continued to consult the "Thick Earth Recipe" and "Immortal Materia Medica" in his spare time. More than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, a one-acre pond has been basically formed, and the moon spirit grass and green jade dendrobium have all been transplanted.
During this period of time, Shangguan Yun's thick earth recipe has also been cultivated very smoothly, and the aura in the dantian has been gathered for seven or eight years, he still has not taken the Gathering Spirit Pill, and is ready to use it when he breaks through the third layer of the Qi Gathering Period, and he already knows that the third layer of the Qi Gathering Period will be the first bottleneck he encounters in his cultivation.
At dusk, Shangguan Yun, who had been working for a day, suddenly felt greedy, so he baked a few pancakes with noodles, and when he was about to eat, he suddenly heard Zhao Laowei calling him outside the door.
"Boy, have you read the book?"
"Read, read. Shangguan Yun hurriedly replied.
"Well, I'll test you to see how much you've read. â
So Zhao Laowei asked, Shangguan Yun replied, and after some assessment, Zhao Laowei showed a smile.
"Yes, yes, count your kid hard, oh, this is for you. After speaking, Old Monster Zhao took out a big bag from behind him and threw it to Shangguan Yun.
"It's ăăăăăă Shangguan Yun opened the bag and looked at it, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, this damn old monster Zhao turned out to be a bag of seedlings from Shui Bodhi, and I don't know where Zhao old monster got it, seeing that these seedlings are a little wilted, he has to plant them quickly.
Shangguan Yun just wanted to say something, but Old Monster Zhao had already turned around and left, leaving only one sentence, "Hey, boy, our garden is not big enough." â
"I Xăăăăăă â
Shangguan Yun subconsciously bit the cake in his hand fiercely, as if he was biting the meat of Old Monster Zhao.
Water Bodhi is the fairy grass that grows in the water, this old monster Zhao is very calculating.
So, this night, Shangguan Yun couldn't take care of his cultivation, and planted the bag of water Bodhi in the pond overnight, and the next day, he slept directly in the house for a day.
Feeling like a farmer, Shangguan Yun was busy in the medicine garden with his bare back, it had been two months since Zhao Laowei threw him a bag of water Bodhi, and in the past two months, he had finally opened up two acres of new medicine garden on the basis of the original three acres.
I thought I could rest, but at this time, it was time for the harvest of the Moon Spirit Grass and Qingyu Hu, the harvest of the herbs had extremely strict requirements for time, these two herbs belonged to the spring harvest, and the medicinal properties would be weakened a lot when they were harvested in the summer, so he had to collect these two herbs in these few days, and he further understood the reason why the disciples of the lower courtyard refused to accept this task.
However, thinking of the Gathering Spirit Pill, Shangguan Yun's mentality was balanced, a month ago, he had successfully broken through the second layer of the Qi Gathering Period, and the spiritual energy in the dantian had been compressed again, becoming a denser air mass, and in a few days, he would face the bottleneck of the third layer of the Qi Gathering Period. He decided that when he broke through the third layer of the Qi cultivation period, he must go to Zhao Laowei to ask for some more benefits, otherwise he would be really sorry for the hard work of these days.
