Chapter 46: The Hundred Herbs Sutra
Zhang Ning left the arsenal a day early. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 I have read all the books on martial arts theory in the info arsenal, and I have all the martial arts in my head, and it is a waste of time to continue to stay here.
After leaving the arsenal, Zhang Ning spent another two days teaching the new Canghai Fist Method to the Great Elders.
After that, Zhang Ning's life returned to calm, practicing and reading books every day.
In the Luo family's library, there are a large number of Taoist classics. And Taoist classics are by far the easiest to induce mutations except for martial arts theories.
Looking at the Taoist classics, Zhang Ning can trigger a mutation almost every day, constantly pushing Zhang Ning's cultivation. At the same time, in order to have a solid foundation, Zhang Ning had to take hundreds of millions of cultivation auxiliary medicinal materials every day.
Although the Luo family had its own spiritual field, it was only barely able to supply the cultivation needs of the Luo family's martial artists in the past.
Zhang Ning's unrestrained use of hundreds of millions of cultivation auxiliary medicinal materials every day suddenly made the Luo family's elixir supply stretched.
Moreover, Zhang Ning is now a cultivator at the peak of the sixfold body refining, and the spirit grass he uses is very precious, and it is not easy to cultivate, let alone large-scale cultivation. In the past, it would only be supplied in small quantities to a few descendants of the Luo family, such as Luo Yan and other candidates for the next head of the family.
However, Zhang Ning had an agreement with the Luo family that as long as Zhang Ning needed cultivation auxiliary medicinal materials, the Luo family must give priority to providing them.
Seeing that these elixirs were getting fewer and fewer, this was a big deal for Luo Hong, the third elder who was in charge of managing the spiritual field. Finally, the few elixirs that Zhang Ning needed were completely exhausted, and he could only wait for the next time to mature.
"Hey, why didn't the elixir I asked for today be delivered?"
Zhang Ning asked the little guy, and the little guy replied that this was what the three elders meant.
Seeing that his cultivation continued to increase, he was about to complete the cultivation of more than 20,000 moves, and if the supply of elixir was cut off, this time would undoubtedly be slowed down a lot.
Zhang Ning decided to go to the medicine garden in person and ask the three elders for clarification.
When he came to the medicine garden, Zhang Ning explained his intention to the three elders, and the three elders did not explain, and directly led Zhang Ning to several bare spiritual fields.
"These spiritual fields are planted with Cold Star Grass, Moonlight Blue, and Purple Dan Bamboo, and you can see that there are a few of them that are reserved for planting, how can there be any elixir for you to use?"
"How so?"
The Third Elder said angrily: "You use more elixir in a day than the entire Luo family consumes in a month in the past, what do you say?"
It turned out that the reason why the elixir was sent every time today was because all the Luo family's Cold Star Grass, Moonlight Blue, and Purple Danzhu had been consumed by him.
Zhang Ning said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry." I'm wrong about you. It's just that there are not a few martial artists in the Luo family's sixfold body refinement, why don't they plant more Cold Star Grass, Moonlight Blue, and Purple Dan Bamboo?"
The third elder glanced at Zhang Ning sideways and said, "You said lightly. Do you think it is so easy to grow elixir? Just these few spiritual fields, the Luo family has more than a dozen knowledgeable registered disciples to take care of them. Moreover, these registered disciples are not just any of them, and every registered disciple must go through at least five years of professional training before coming here. ”
I didn't expect that planting elixir would be so troublesome, and the registered disciples who were in charge of taking care of it would take five years to train alone. The few spiritual fields in front of him add up to less than one acre, and they need more than a dozen registered disciples to take care of them together.
Seeing that Zhang Ning was silent, the third elder thought that he didn't believe it, so he said to a named disciple beside him, "Go to my house and bring the Hundred Herbs Sutra." ”
After a while, the disciple brought a silk book that was twice as thick as the English-Chinese dictionary, and the words 'Baicao Jing' were written in ancient Chinese on the cover.
The third elder handed the silk book to Zhang Ning and said, "There is a detailed introduction of Cold Star Grass, Moonlight Blue, and Purple Danzhu, as well as the planting method, you can see it yourself at a glance." ”
Zhang Ning opened the "Hundred Herbs Sutra" and read it with relish.
The entire text of the "Hundred Herbs Sutra" was written in ancient Chinese thousands of years ago, and it is really possible that it will not be able to read it if it were replaced by another person, but this is not a problem for Zhang Ning.
"Third Elder, this Hundred Herbs Sutra?"
The third elder snorted: "I don't understand, right? This Hundred Herbs Sutra has been inherited from ancient times, and the specific age is no longer available; ”
The three elders took out the "Hundred Grass Sutra" in order to give Zhang Ning a dismount, and the Luo family naturally had content related to spiritual grass cultivation written in simplified characters.
Zhang Ning didn't mind either, and asked, "Can the three elders understand the ancient seal on this?"
The third elder said smugly, "I can also understand the above one or two percent." ”
"No wonder. ”
Zhang Ning found that if it was planted according to the method recorded in the "Book of Hundred Herbs", the yield of Hanxing grass, moonlight blue, and purple danzhu should never be only now.
Zhang Ning continued: "Third Elder, why don't you cooperate with the planting of floating grass on the side when planting Cold Star Grass?"
The Third Elder said angrily: "What do you know! The Floating Grass is just a spirit grass used by a body refining martial artist, a large piece, how can it be planted with the Cold Star Grass?"
Zhang Ning said lightly: "Do you want the third elder to make a bet with me?"
Zhang Ning is questioning his authority. In the Luo family, when it comes to elixir cultivation, who else can match him?
"How are you going to bet?"
"You and I each choose a spiritual field of the same size, you use your method to plant the Cold Star Grass, and I use my method to plant the Cold Star Grass. See who has the higher yield, and if I win, the book will be mine. ”
"Don't bet. The Third Elder directly refused.
Although he couldn't understand the "Hundred Herbs Sutra", this book was handed down from his ancestors and will be passed down from generation to generation in the future.
"Third Elder, you, a person who has cultivated elixir all your life, are you still afraid of losing to me, a person who has never planted elixir?"
"No, it's not good, it's useless for you to provoke me. This "Hundred Herbs Sutra" is the inheritance of the medicine garden, and I will not bet on it. ”
It seems that it really can't work, Zhang Ning can only retreat and say: "Then let's change the conditions, if you lose, this "Baicao Jing" will lend me half a year, and I will definitely return it after half a year." ”
The third elder thought for a while, and if it was just to borrow it, it wouldn't be impossible, and said, "Okay." Compare is compare. ”
Soon, the three elders prepared two identical plots of land and tried it with Zhang Ning.
Loosening the soil, raising seedlings, and watering, the three elders are meticulous in every step, and the spacing between each cold star grass is strictly controlled.
In comparison, the Cold Star Grass planted by Zhang Ning was much more casual, and the spacing between the plants was more than twice as dense as that of the three elders. What's more, Zhang Ning also planted a floating grass on the edge of each cold star grass, which was dense.
The third elder said secretly, "You think it's planting grass, so it's hell to be able to grow cold star grass." ”
However, as soon as three days passed, Zhang Ning's Cold Star Grass had already grown three leaves, and the Three Elders' Cold Star Grass had just sprouted.
A week later, Zhang Ning's Cold Star Grass had grown and was ready to be harvested, while the Third Elder's Cold Star Grass had only grown three leaves, and it was still at least two weeks before it matured.
There was no need to continue the competition, Zhang Ning's Cold Star Grass yield was more than twice that of him, and the time required was only one-third of his.
Although they lost the game, the three elders did not lose anything. Cultivating Spirit Grass was his interest, and Zhang Ning had increased the yield of Cold Star Grass so much, he would only be happy.
"Zhang Ning, how did you know that planting a floating grass on the edge of the Cold Star Grass can increase the yield of the Cold Star Grass?"
Zhang Ning said: "I learned it from the Book of Hundred Herbs. ”
The Third Elder retorted: "This is impossible! Although I don't understand the ancient seals very well, I have read the introduction of the Cold Star Grass in the "Hundred Grass Sutra" no less than ten times, and there is no mention of the floating grass at all. ”
Zhang Ning looked at the three elders and said lightly: "The Hundred Herbs Sutra does not say that the Floating Grass associated with the Cold Star Grass can greatly increase the yield, but it mentions that although the Cold Star Grass is a negative elixir, it has a little bit of yang in the yin, and if it can enhance its positiveness, it will grow faster." ”
"The reason why the spacing between each plant is large when planting it alone is because if it is too close, the negativity of the surrounding cold star grass will affect its normal growth. ”
"If you cooperate with the planting of floating grass, it is different, the floating grass belongs to the temperature positive, the positive will not be too violent and burn the typhoid star grass, and its temperature positive can not only enhance the yin and yang of the cold star grass, but also minimize the impact of the surrounding cold star grass on him. ”
After the explanation, the three elders were convinced. The "Hundred Herbs Sutra" only recorded the characteristics of a little yang in the yin of the cold star grass, and Zhang Ning immediately thought of a way to use the associated floating grass to increase the yield.
"I see. In this way, the yield of the cold star grass can be increased tenfold, and more importantly, the cultivation method is so simple that even a newcomer can grow it with a simple training. It's just that Hanxing grass usually needs to be used in combination with moonlight blue and purple danzhu, I wonder if there is a better planting method for moonlight blue and purple danzhu?"
Zhang Ning replied: "Naturally, there is, but the characteristics of moonlight blue are different from those of cold star grass,......
Zhang Ning talked eloquently, described the traits of moonlight blue and purple danzhu in detail, and gave different mixed planting methods.
The three elders immediately found someone to verify it, and found that the results were really as Zhang Ning said, and the output of the two spirit grasses had been greatly increased.
