Chapter 43: Yuan Xiancao
Yuanjing Valley is extremely large. Although there is a word "gu" in the name of this place, there are only slightly raised on both sides of the left and right, and there are no mountains standing upright.
When they entered the valley entrance, they saw the patrol disciples and garrison disciples here. They had not had time to go to the Taoist temple. Only after a group of disciples came to hand over the mission could they leave.
When Xu Huai got here, even if he was a disciple of the deacon, he had to take out the wooden sign of identity to confirm his identity. Yuan Jinggu's rules were much stricter than other places.
After everyone had verified their identities, Xu Huai led his disciples to the southwest, which was the area for planting spiritual medicines in Yuanjing Valley.
Xu Huai is a deacon disciple, and there is also a deacon elder above him. He needs to take care of all the big and small things in the entire spiritual medicine planting area.
Of course, the elders also need to practice, so there are deacon disciples. There are three deacon disciples here, who are in charge of planting, serving and harvesting respectively.
Below every deacon disciple, there are a group of deacon disciples. The things they do are the hardest and most tiring, and the points they receive are not as high as those of the more leisurely deacon disciples.
The entrepreneurs have no complaints about this. After all, their cultivation is low and they should cultivate their merits. The best way to cultivate their merits is to work hard to practice asceticism.
When the disciples walked into the spiritual field, they were attracted by the scene in front of them. They saw colorful clouds falling from the sky, intersecting with the ground. On the ground were blocks of square spiritual fields, the three rows of spiritual fields on the left were bare; the three rows of spiritual fields in the middle had tender buds; as for the last three rows of spiritual fields on the right, the spiritual medicine swayed in the wind, looking at its appearance, waiting to be harvested.
Behind the spiritual field, there is a small courtyard that is not exquisite. Judging from the magic circle opened around the courtyard, the deacon and elder here should be there.
Xu Huai coughed lightly, implying that everyone bowed their hands and saluted. He himself also said respectfully: "Daichi disciple Xu Huai, pay homage to Elder Gu."
After about a cup of tea, the magic circle in the courtyard suddenly flashed and the spirit disappeared. At the same time, a floating path extended from the courtyard and came to the feet of the disciples.
Xu Huai slowly received the gift and said softly: "Elder Gu doesn't like waiting for someone. We will go and meet you, and then take you to familiarize yourself with the mission."
As soon as he finished speaking, his body shook and stepped on the floating path, leading his disciples toward the courtyard.
There were three rooms in the courtyard, which looked very simple from the outside. After Xu Huai bowed to the middle room, he saw the door of the room open, and then a voice came out: "Come in, remember to close the door."
The fatigue revealed in the voice made the disciples present feel trembling. They put away all kinds of thoughts, lowered their heads and walked in uneasy.
As soon as he entered the room, Miao Xiaomiao noticed the mystery of the place. From the outside, the room was not big, but standing inside, it was extremely large, three points larger than the Dao Hall of the Red Fire Dao Palace!
"Is this a new batch of trades?" An old Taoist sitting on a tattered cushion opened his mouth slowly. His face was a little pale, his beard was messy, and the crown on his head was tilted to the left. Even his Taoist robe was covered with stars and dark stains.
Xu Huai seemed to have been accustomed to this situation, and he said respectfully: "They are all disciples of the Chihuo Dao Palace."
"That's what you will do." Elder Gu glanced lightly, his eyes like a needle, as if he could see through the bodies of these disciples at first sight. Then his eyes stopped on Miao Xiaomiao, looking a little surprised.
Then he seemed to think of something, and his eyes moved away from Miao Xiaomiao.
Immediately afterwards, Elder Gu moved his hands, and grains of spiritual light condensed from the void. After a slight pause, he injected into the bodies of the people.
"With this spiritual light in your body, you can walk freely in the spiritual field. As for other precautions, please leave it to Xu Huailai to inform you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he nodded to Xu Huai, his figure swayed and disappeared.
Xu Huai said yes aloud, and then led everyone out of the courtyard to the spiritual field where spiritual medicine had not yet been planted.
"There are five spiritual fields in each row, which means fifteen spiritual fields are in a group. There are five disciples who received the planting mission this time, and each disciple is divided into three spiritual fields.
Tomorrow, the spiritual energy in the spiritual field here can meet the standards and meet the requirements for planting spiritual medicines. All you need to do is to plant the seeds of Yuanna Grass in one day."
It doesn't sound difficult, but Miao Xiaomiao thinks that anyone who can endure hardship can do it.
Ke Xuhuai's words then shocked him and he paid more attention to this task.
"The seeds of Yuangui grass cannot withstand spiritual power, so they can only be slowly generated by the warm spiritual energy in the spiritual field. That is to say, when planting this grass, you cannot use a little spiritual power. At the same time, the seeds have strict requirements on the depth and looseness of the spiritual soil. If they do not meet the standards, the seeds will be destroyed. Of course, you have to compensate for the losses.
Yuangu grass sprouts for three days and will not mature after another five days. You cannot be idle during these eight days, and you have to go to another spiritual field to plant spiritual medicine.
During these fifteen days, except for three days of rest, you won’t be able to spare the rest of the time.”
"Isn't the spiritual fields here all the spiritual fields in Yuanjing Valley?"
"Of course not. There are five kinds of spiritual medicines that can only be planted in the Taoist palace. The planting area is distributed in various places southwest of Yuanjing Valley. What you see now is only one-fifth of the mission area."
Xu Huai paused for a moment, pointed to the maturity of Yuanshu on the other side and said, "There will be harvested tomorrow. I will wait for the recovery of the spiritual energy for two days to continue planting Yuanshu."
After that, Xu Huai passed the detailed information about the mission to the wooden signs of the disciples, waved his hand and let them disperse.
Walking back to the Chihuo Dao Palace, Miao Xiaomiao suddenly thought of something she had considered before, so she walked towards the Daozang Palace.
After entering Daocang Palace with a familiarity, Miao Xiaomiao chose a walkway and walked in according to the information in the wooden sign.
It took about half a quarter of an hour before Miao Xiaomiao left the Daozang Palace.
After returning to the Red Fire Dao Palace's own compartment, Miao Xiaomiao sat on the cushion and filled her mind with the wooden sign.
There was a book in the wooden sign at this time. The name of the book is "The Complete Collection of Spiritual Medicines", which is very vulgar, but it records all the spiritual medicines that can be used during the Qi refining and foundation building period.
Because of the martial arts, Miao Xiaomiao was very concerned about spiritual medicine. After studying it carefully for a period of time, she completely sank into it.
