Chapter 12: Farming Is Not Professional
"Let me tell you, your herbs are not very good!" Ye Zan said bluntly.
"Ah?" Elder Mo turned his head to look around, looked at the vibrant medicine fields, and asked in puzzlement: "Well, what's the problem? I think it looks pretty good."
"You think it's pretty good to be alive, don't you?" Ye Zan replied mockingly.
Elder Mo blushed and stopped talking. He was a layman in alchemy, and he knew nothing about planting herbs. So at a time like this, it's better to talk less, or you won't have anything to say if you get ridiculed, after all, this is the grand master's uncle.
This time, Liu Gan didn't feel offended, and he wasn't good at growing herbs. What's more, he is now asking for Ye Zan, and he has to correct his attitude when asking for others, so he asked with a smile on his face: "You made Daoist Ye laugh, after all, I am not a spiritual planter. Hope you can give me some pointers."
Planting herbs is not about growing grain and vegetables, nor is it about finding a few old farmers to make herbs thrive. Different herbs have different demands on the environment, and thus require different planting methods.
Therefore, in this world, there is only one lineage for planting herbs, which is called a spiritual planter. A real spiritual planter has special spells for planting, promoting the production of herbs, eliminating insects and diseases, and improving the level of herbs. It is said that the top spiritual planters can even "talk" with herbs, understand all the changing needs of herbs, and can cultivate ordinary herbs into spiritual herbs.
Speaking of Yuqingzong back then, there was no shortage of Lingzhi masters, but now it is not back then. Now Yu Qingzong, who has fallen into the third rate, was able to find Liu Gan, a master of alchemy, mainly because Liu Gan was actually a casual cultivator. Lingzhi masters are very dependent on the sect, and there are almost no casual cultivator Lingzhi masters in the entire Shenhua domain, and if you want to poach people from those sects, you don't have to think about it with the conditions of Yuqingzong.
Of course, there were people who were dissatisfied with Ye Zan's words, and that was Li Yuanshan, Liu Gan's first disciple. In fact, these medicine fields in the alchemy hall are all in charge of by Li Yuanshan, saying that the herbal medicines are not grown very well, Li Yuanshan is naturally a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Li Yuanshan is a smart person, and the teacher's attitude is like that, so naturally he won't be so stupid as to jump out.
However, if you don't show it, you are still upset. Li Yuanshan has managed the medicine field for so long, and he thinks that even if he is not a spiritual planter, he at least has some experience. If this little uncle made some mistakes or omissions, he wouldn't mind "kindly" reminding him.
Ye Zan didn't know what these people were thinking, and of course he didn't care what these people were thinking. He had already regarded Yuqingzong as his own territory, which naturally included these medicine fields. Isn't it normal for the farmers to improve their fields if they don't like their own fields?
"Go and find me a book called The Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine." Ye Zan said without any embarrassment on his face. He also has no choice. Although he has obtained a lot of information about herbs through tasting the herbs, he still needs to match the known information with the names of the herbs. He can't tell them the name he named himself.
Uh!
Everyone was speechless.
If a person recognizes herbs, he needs to read a book and compare them. If he says that he can grow good herbs, who will believe it?
However, Elder Mo and Liu Gan immediately remembered the matter of Ye Zan asking about the names of those herbs in the alchemy room. I also don't know the name of the herbal medicine, but they have successfully formulated the best Qi Refining Pill, and even showed the method of dispensing the medicine.
Thinking of this, Liu Gan was not so surprised, turned his head to his disciple Li Yuanshan and said, "Yuanshan, go to the teacher's study and take the book of hundred sketches."
"Yes, teacher!" Li Yuanshan naturally didn't dare to neglect, turned around and went straight to the alchemy hall on the top of the mountain.
Li Yuanshan was a cultivation base in the foundation-building period, and he displayed his movements extremely quickly. He ran back and forth in a blink of an eye, and brought a thick book in his hand.
Ye Zan took the book,
Flipping through quickly, my eyes stayed on each page for less than a second. Such quick flipping made the people next to him stunned for a while, wondering if Ye Zan was really reading, or just to hear the "cracking" sound.
How did they know that in less than a second, the content on the page was complete, recorded by Ye Zan's auxiliary brain, and stored in the already established database.
Not long after, the book has been turned, Ye Zan closed the book and handed it back to Li Yuanshan.
"Junior Brother, this is..." Elder Mo asked curiously, wanting to know what such a short period of time meant to Ye Zan.
"Hmm," Ye Zan coughed lightly, and then said, "Didn't you ask how the herb is grown? Then I'll tell you about the problem here."
"Let's talk about the place in front of us first. Look at the Fire Cloud Grass. Do you see the white silk web on the plant? No, no, this is not a spider's web, but a fungus. I don't know what a fungus is! Do you know a mushroom? In short, this kind of thing is like a vine entangled in a tree. It grows by absorbing nutrients from the plant. If you look at the entire field, almost all the plants are infected. Although the harvest will not be complete if this continues, the potency of the medicine will definitely be poor. a lot of."
"Also here, do you see the yellow edges on the leaves? It's not dry yellow due to lack of water. On the contrary, you have watered too often. Also, the plants in these fields are full of insects. Don’t you know how to get rid of insects? Look at this, if you don’t know, you may think you are raising insects.”
"Blackheart grass likes shade and doesn't like sun. You know it's not bad to build a shed. But the growth of blackheart grass also has requirements on the ambient temperature. Your shed makes it stuffy, and it's simply a big steamer."
"and also……"
Ye Zan said as he walked, it was like an agricultural expert going to the countryside, followed by Elder Mo, Liu Gan, Li Yuanshan and others in step.
Gradually, under Ye Zan's comments, the crowd walked through more than half of the medicine fields. Almost every medicine field has problems of one kind or another, which makes Liu Gan and Li Yuanshan look very unhappy. They feel that they have done a pretty good job, but they are judged as worthless by others. Who would it be? I won't feel comfortable either.
However, Liu Gan didn't want to lose his temper any more. He rolled his eyes and suddenly said to Ye Zan and Elder Mo: "You Daoist Ye, we are not spiritual planters after all, and we have always had more than enough energy to take care of the medicine field." .Since fellow Daoist Ye is so proficient, I would like to abdicate to the virtuous, to give up the position of hall master. I don’t know how the friendship will be, what do you think, Daoist Mo?"
If Liu Gan hadn't said it sincerely, people might think that he was out of embarrassment and wanted to put down the pick. Elder Mo saw that Liu Gan's expression did not seem to be fake, and immediately felt that this proposal was good. The key was that he knew that there was Patriarch Xuanyuan behind Ye Zan. Don't care about Ye Zan's ability or not, Patriarch Xuan Yuan is definitely omnipotent, so why don't you worry about handing over the Alchemy Hall to Ye Zan.
I really don't win, if I said it earlier, why would I waste so much saliva!
Ye Zan said so much, of course, not just to make them blush, but really want to make this medicine field better. Although he is not a spiritual planter, let alone the methods of a spiritual planter, but with the power of technology, it is not difficult to grow herbs well.
