Chapter 12 Seeds
The spiritual herbs for refining the Gathering Spirit Pill have been gathered, and Lin Mu is relieved.
But Lin Mu did not immediately resign from his position of raining for the cold tobacco. He still rained for the cold tobacco every three to five days as before.
Under Lin Mu's care, the cold tobacco grew well, which made Zhang Ruoxu praise it again and again.
The cold tobacco in the Warm Cloud Valley was of no importance to Lin Mu, as long as there were no mistakes. What he cared about most were the forty or fifty kinds of spiritual herbs in the Xuanyue Space.
There were forty-seven kinds of first-grade spiritual herbs and three kinds of second-grade spiritual herbs in the Xuanyue Space.
Lin Mu had to go in and check several times every day, fearing that they would get sick. Every three to five days, he would use the "Bishui Jue" to water them one by one.
Under Lin Mu's careful planting, the spiritual herbs in the Xuanyue Space grew very fast, almost changing every day.
Lin Mu waited patiently for them to mature.
He practiced the "Gengjin Jue" in the courtyard every night, and practiced the "Jiufang Heart Method" in the Xuanyue Space during the day.
In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
Lin Mu's "Genjin Jue" has been practiced to the third level, and the Gengjin aura is more sharp. The golden light is like a sharp sword, and it is murderous.
His internal cultivation has also reached the peak of the fourth level of Qi Refining, but if he wants to break through, he still needs some hard work.
What makes Lin Mu most happy is that the spiritual herbs in the Xuanyue space have matured one after another, and the diffused medicinal fragrance makes Lin Mu deeply intoxicated.
The first to mature is the cold tobacco. After maturity, the cold tobacco is white and crystal, and it emits bursts of cold air from time to time, like smoke and fog.
The cold tobacco in the Warm Cloud Valley is still early to mature, and the time in the Xuanyue space is doubled, allowing the cold tobacco to mature two months in advance.
Collecting forty cold tobaccos is very simple for Lin Mu. He carefully pulled the cold tobacco out of the spiritual field without damaging it.
Then he cleaned the hut in the Xuanyue space, spread a straw mat, and piled the cold tobacco neatly on the straw mat.
These cold tobaccos are the main materials for refining Qingxin Pills, so Lin Mu naturally wants to keep them properly. Fortunately, the Xuanyue Space is full of spiritual energy, and the cold tobacco stored in the hut will not go bad easily.
Next, Lin Mu began to carefully pick the grass seeds produced by the cold tobacco. As a second-grade spiritual grass, the seed yield of cold tobacco is not high, and each cold tobacco plant only has about three or four seeds.
A total of more than 130 seeds were picked from 40 cold tobacco plants.
Lin Mu used the earth spirit hoe to re-cultivate the place where the cold tobacco was originally planted, and then planted these seeds one by one by hand.
The area occupied by these more than 100 seeds is not large, only equivalent to one-tenth of an acre of land.
Lin Mu decided to control the amount of cold tobacco within this range in the short term. He is only in the Qi Refining Stage now, and the requirements for Qingxin Pills are not high. These cold tobaccos are enough for him alone.
The day after the cold tobacco was planted, Yunlin Flower and Starry Sky Blue followed the cold tobacco and matured one after another.
Lin Mu followed the same method, collecting Yunlin flowers and Starry Sky Blue and stacking them on the straw mat in the hut.
A total of 30 Yunlin flowers were harvested, and 105 seeds were picked.
The harvest of Starry Sky Blue was a little more. Forty-three Starry Sky Blues and 147 seeds made Lin Mu very satisfied.
Lin Mu used the earth spirit hoe to plow the place where the two spiritual herbs originally grew, and planted all the seeds of the two spiritual herbs.
The two spiritual herbs occupy about the same area as Han Tobacco. Lin Mu decided to keep the number of Starry Sky Blue within this range, just like Han Tobacco. Yunlin flowers are the main material for refining Juling Dan. After the next harvest, we can consider increasing the planting area.
After the three second-grade spiritual herbs were harvested one after another, the remaining forty-seven first-grade spiritual herbs also matured one by one.
The verdant Qingjian Acorus, the emerald tiger tail grass, the three-inch high Xiaolu grass...
These forty-seven kinds of spiritual herbs sound like a lot. In fact, it didn't take much time to collect them. Because Lin Mu only planted ten of each first-grade spiritual herb, the total number was only more than 400.
After Lin Mu sorted and placed the more than 400 spiritual herbs, they occupied two straw mats. One-third of the space in the hut was occupied by these spiritual herbs.
After harvesting, Lin Mu began to plant again.
The yield of these first-grade spiritual herbs is much higher than that of second-grade spiritual herbs. Each spiritual herb can produce about six or seven seeds.
In this way, the number of each spiritual herb increased from the original ten to sixty or seventy.
An increase of seven times at once!
Even so, half of the six acres of spiritual fields that were originally divided into fifty plots were still not planted.
Each of the fifty plots of spiritual fields covers an area of a little more than one-tenth of an acre. Lin Mu initially estimated that each plot of spiritual field could plant more than one hundred second-grade spiritual herbs. If first-grade spiritual herbs were planted, more than two hundred could be planted.
If we consider that the spiritual fields in the Xuanyue Space are third-grade spiritual fields, it doesn't matter if we plant these first-grade or second-grade spiritual herbs and plant them densely.
At present, the spiritual fields in the Xuanyue Space are still sufficient. Lin Mu did not think too much about this issue.
Lin Mu's current idea is very simple, which is to slowly wait for this batch of spiritual herbs to mature.
When he had enough spiritual herbs and medicines, he began to try to make pills.
With the growth rate of spiritual herbs in the Xuanyue Space, his first step of the plan could be completed in two months at most.
In these two months, Lin Mu planned to practice hard and strive to enter the fifth level of Qi Refining.
Since the last time he had a quarrel with Ma Huayuan, to Lin Mu's surprise, Ma Huayuan had never bothered Lin Mu once.
Lin Mu felt something was a little strange, and he didn't know what Ma Huayuan was up to. Lin Mu was always worried, and always felt like there was some conspiracy waiting for him.
The current peace and quiet was just the calm before the storm.
Lin Mu couldn't help but pay more attention to his practice. Only by improving his cultivation could he feel more confident in his self-protection.
Lin Mu still practiced in the Xuanyue Space during the day and practiced the "Basic Five Elements Technique" in the courtyard at night as before.
Lin Mu has already learned two of the "Basic Five Elements Techniques", namely "Green Water Technique" and "Genjin Technique", and the remaining three are "Thick Soil Technique", "Plant and Wood Technique", and "Red Fire Technique".
Lin Mu is learning "Red Fire Technique" this time.
The most important thing in alchemy is to control fire. In Lin Mu's opinion, although "Red Fire Technique" is only a low-level fire technique, it can also increase his understanding of fire.
In addition to practicing and practicing "Red Fire Technique", Lin Mu still goes to Nuanyun Valley as usual to make rain for Hanyan tobacco.
In the past two months, Zhang Ruoxu has not given Lin Mu spirit stones and spirit gathering pills. Lin Mu decided to wait until the Hanyan tobacco matures before asking Zhang Ruoxu for them.
At this point, he believes that Zhang Ruoxu will not be like Ma Huayuan, who is untrustworthy.
