Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely Chapter 408

“Did it become like this after pouring too much spiritual liquid?”

The old man muttered to himself, making Li Yuanqing very nervous.

“Senior, is there any other reason? Actually, I just arrived. I'm not familiar with the operation and don't know anything. Do you think it's possible that the last person who left destroyed this place and I happened to encounter such an unlucky thing?”

Li Yuanqing stuck his head out beside Wang Lan and looked at the empty place.

Wang Lan turned to look at Li Yuanqing and suddenly smiled.

“It's not impossible. I wonder where the vines you cleared are now. Can I take a look?”

Li Yuanqing said in embarrassment, “Senior, I was furious when I saw those broken fire spirit fruits, so I used them all to refine spiritual liquid.”

The old man seemed to have expected this. He still had a smile on his face as he turned half of his body to face Li Yuanqing. “We don't have any clues now.”

“If Senior wants them, I'll bring those dregs back later and let you take a look?”

“Forget it, forget it. I won't look at those dregs.”

As Wang Lan spoke, he sat down on the field and took out his big gourd, taking a big gulp.

Li Yuanqing looked at him carefully and asked tentatively, “Senior, are you here to investigate why I destroyed the Fire Spirit Fruit?”

Wang Lan burped and a strong smell of alcohol instantly filled the air. He looked at the medicinal field in front of him with a smile and said, “I don't care about the matters in your sect. I came here mainly because I discovered a new thing recently and wondered if I could plant some myself.”

“May I know what Senior is talking about?”

“You want to know?”

“I'm just a little curious. If it's not convenient for you, then forget it.”

“It's not inconvenient. It just cost me fifty spirit stones.”

As Wang Lan spoke, he gently shook the wine pot in his hand. A Fire Spirit Fruit that was more than half the height of a person immediately appeared beside him.

The Fire Spirit Fruit was still sealed with the array. The spiritual energy was sealed inside the fruit.

Li Yuanqing pretended to be very shocked as he looked at the new thing in front of him.

“Senior, what is this? Why is it so huge?”

Wang Lan seemed to like Li Yuanqing very much. He did not mind Li Yuanqing's questions at all. He replied very kindly, “Actually, I've never seen such a huge fire spirit fruit in my life. It can be said that this treasure was bestowed by the heavens. However, this fruit is still incomplete and can't produce seeds, so I can only think of other ways.”

His words immediately attracted Li Yuanqing's attention. Li Yuanqing almost subconsciously asked, “What do you mean by incomplete?”

Wang Lan narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Yuanqing's face, as if he was examining a criminal.

Li Yuanqing grinned and asked in confusion, “Senior, why are you looking at me like that?”

Wang Lan smiled and replied, “It's nothing. It's just that there haven't been many little fellows like you who are so eager to learn recently.”

“Is that so? I was just asking casually. If it's not appropriate, then pretend that I didn't say anything.”

“There's nothing inappropriate about it. There's no harm in telling you.”

Wang Lan stretched out the wine gourd and stuck it to the middle of the Fire Spirit Fruit.

“Actually, most of the medicinal herbs cultivated by large sects have been used to ensure that they won't be leaked so easily. The Martial Yuan Sect's Fire Spirit Fruit can't grow mature seeds.”

“I see.” Li Yuanqing heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that there was something wrong with the Divine Origin Water.

Wang Lan smiled mysteriously and continued, “However, although these large sects have their own methods, these methods are nothing in my eyes.”

“Then why did you come here, Senior?”

Wang Lan picked up the gourd again and drank it.

“Although I don't know what method this Giant Spirit Fruit used to grow to such a huge size, there are some hidden dangers in this method of maturing. It will magnify its flaws and make its power unstable.”

“What?”

What this old man said was strange. Li Yuanqing himself did not know these things, but why did he seem to have studied this fruit so deeply?

Wang Lan ignored Li Yuanqing's expression and continued, “If this flaw was in the hands of others, it would probably become a hidden danger. If you're not careful, you'll easily hurt yourself. However, it doesn't matter to me. It's just that such an extreme growth period is very abnormal, so no matter what method you use, it's impossible to produce more seeds.”

“Then I wonder if Senior has any way to crack it?”

“That's easy. According to what I know, in the Spirit Grass Mountain Range, it's because of Lord Wan Gu. He has countless types of mushrooms. Many plants like mushrooms can coexist with other plants. There are also some talented ones among them. If we can find a matching mushroom, we can combine it with the plants after it was born.

“On one hand, the plants produced have enough power to nourish these symbiotic mushrooms. On the other hand, the mushrooms can produce scarce nutrients and provide them back. Both sides provide for each other and grow together. They can be said to be a match made in heaven.”

Li Yuanqing was mesmerized by the old fellow's description and silently memorized these keywords.

“Lord Wan Gu of the Spirit Grass Mountain Range.”

Wang Lan turned to look at Li Yuanqing and asked with a smile, “Little guy, you seem to be very interested in these things.”

“Is that so? Senior, I'm naturally interested in everything.”

“Sometimes it's a good habit. Sometimes it can easily get you killed.”

“Thank you for your guidance, Senior. I will definitely pay more attention in the future. Do you have any other instructions? If not, I still need to water these herbs today.”

Wang Lan leaned against the field and looked at Li Yuanqing with a red face. He burped and replied, “Go ahead. I'll study it here for a while. I'll call you when I need your help.”

“Then I'll leave first.”

“Wait a minute.”

Li Yuanqing had just turned the corner when he was called down.

“Senior, what other instructions do you have?”

“Don't water it too much this time.”

“I will remember.”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly walked over. Wang Lan was still shouting at him from afar, “I think the hut beside you is not bad. Help me clean it up.”

Li Yuanqing looked gloomily at the abandoned hut beside him. This old fellow really planned to stay here. Could it be that this person had discovered something? He had said so much just now. Was he just saying it casually?

However, this old fellow's pharmaceutical knowledge was very sufficient. Li Yuanqing could not figure out these things himself after a while.

He did not expect there to be so many theories between plants.

It seemed like there was really a need to make a trip to this so-called Spirit Grass Mountain Range. Otherwise, it would be a huge loss if there were really any hidden dangers.

Of course, the fire spirit fruit did not matter, but Little Man and the others could not be affected.

It took a lot of effort to water these thousands of medicinal fields once. Fortunately, after this watering session, the next watering session would be ten days later. Three times a month was enough to produce a batch of mature herbs.

There were many very old roots here. Their roots actually extended thousands of feet underground.

The medicinal fields were all built on the sect's spirit vein, which also guaranteed an adequate supply of spiritual energy.

These herbs were produced by lying on the spirit vein and absorbing spiritual energy. No wonder they could grow so quickly.

There were a total of ten medicinal herbs planted in the medicinal garden under Li Yuanqing's jurisdiction.

The greatest production were the Fire Spirit Fruits and the Stone Worm Grass.

The Stone Worm Grass was gray like a small stone stick and matured very quickly. Although this little fellow looked ordinary, it was the foundation of many pills.

Generally speaking, the power of medicinal herbs was too ferocious and might be very stimulating to the human body. However, this Stone Worm Grass played a neutral role very well. It could protect the human body and slowly release the medicinal effect.

In addition, there were a few expensive herbs. Although these herbs were not used in large quantities, it was very difficult to nurture them, so it was very tiring.

The most typical was the purple dragon root.

It was said that a thousand-year-old purple dragon root had the effect of reviving the dead even if it was not refined into a pill. However, it was difficult to say if the effect was true.

Li Yuanqing casually took a look and saw Wang Lan walking into the medicinal field. He dug out two purple dragon roots from the fat tree with his bare hands and stuffed them into his broken gourd.

These two purple dragon roots were so fat that they must be the offerings that Li Yuanqing was going to submit next month. He did not expect them to be plucked out by this old man just like that.

Li Yuanqing could not help but feel his heart ache. Before he could finish sighing, the old man was not idle at all. He ran to another piece and pulled out two white jade potatoes.

He sat in the fields and started a fire.

The roasted white jade sweet potato tasted very fragrant. A rich spiritual energy spread out everywhere. However, this strong smell was very charming.

He was not done yet. He plucked the fruit that was about to ripen and stuffed it into his mouth. He could not stop working at all. It was as if he had been hungry for a hundred years.

Li Yuanqing could not help but feel his heart ache when he saw his actions.

If he were to waste a field like this, it would probably be completely destroyed in two days. If he stayed here for ten days to half a month, he would probably not be able to pay the tribute next month.

However, it was hard to say that this was a bad thing. If he fooled around and lied about some more, would he be able to produce more Fire Spirit Fruits?

Just as Li Yuanqing was thinking, the old man suddenly remembered that he was here. He waved at him and summoned him.

“Little guy, come over quickly. I still have some important things to do. Come and help.”

“I wonder what other instructions do you have, Senior?”

“Sit here and chat with me. I told you so much just now, but I still don't know where you came from.”

Li Yuanqing smiled and replied, “Actually, I don't have much to say. My master is an alchemist. Later on, he passed away in the lower realm. I was left alone in the lower realm for many years. I finally found an Immortal Ascension Door and secretly came up with such a method.”

“I see. In that case, you must know many herbs from the lower realm?”

“I know a little.”

“Then do you know that there is a kind of wood called the Divine Dragon Incense in the lower realm? It grows extremely slowly. After it matures, it will have a very rich fragrance when burned.”

“I've heard of it.”

“Then do you have some in your hands? I haven't seen this Divine Dragon Incense for many years. I still miss that smell.”

Li Yuanqing replied apologetically, “Senior, although I've heard of the Divine Dragon Incense, I haven't had the opportunity to see it.”

“That's a pity.”

Wang Lan shook his head regretfully.

What Li Yuanqing did not say was that there was a divine dragon core more than ten feet long in his domain space. The fragrance of the Divine Dragon Core was ten times better than ordinary Divine Dragon Incense.

“I still remember many years ago, I once knew a good friend and learned from her that there was such a novel thing in the lower realm. I haven't seen this Divine Dragon Incense since she left.”

Li Yuanqing sighed in his heart when he saw Wang Lan's reminiscent gaze.

“That's a pity. However, this Divine Dragon Incense can only be encountered by chance. There aren't many in the world to begin with.”

“That's right. Aren't all things in this world hard to come by? If you encounter a benefactor who can change your life, you should firmly seize this opportunity.”

Wang Lan's words seemed to be continuing the topic just now, but he also looked at Li Yuanqing meaningfully, as if he was hinting at something.

Li Yuanqing pinched the white jade potato that was roasted on the fire and tore it in half. A rich fragrance instantly assaulted his nose.

“Senior, your white jade sweet potato is already cooked.”

Wang Lan took the fragrant white jade sweet potato and said with some emotion, “If this white jade sweet potato can increase to ten times its size, what kind of flavor will it be?”

“Senior, you must be joking. How can this thing grow so big?”

“I didn't believe it in the past either, but now I'm starting to believe it. Or rather, I believe it very much now!”

As Wang Lan spoke, he stared at Li Yuanqing with a burning gaze. No matter how calm Li Yuanqing was, he could not help but swallow his saliva.

“Senior, you really like to joke.”

“I learned this from my friend in the lower realm. I thought you people in the lower realm liked this.”
