Chapter 118: The Tricked Taishang Laojun (Part 2)
Taishang Laojun suddenly asked, "How big is the back garden?"
He wanted to know how different it was from his back garden in the fairyland.
You should know that the back garden of his fairyland occupies a large area. The key is that the medicinal herbs in the fairyland are basically fairy herbs, and the ones refined from them are all fairy pills.
The herbs in the mortal world are all ordinary, and the ones refined from them are all elixirs, so there are surprises, but not too many.
After all, it is quite good for a human academy to have so many herbs.
Originally, one of the reasons why Taishang Laojun agreed to teach was because there must be someone in this academy who could make elixirs. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't make elixirs for a period of time on weekdays. It would be even more uncomfortable if he only taught for a month without making elixirs.
But the human world cannot refine elixirs because there is no such immortal energy, so they can only refine spiritual pills.
But the medicinal herbs for the elixir cannot be refined by magical herbs, and a lot of ordinary herbs are needed to be stored. So I was naturally surprised to hear that West Lake College also has its own back garden.
Long Pinxuan thought for a moment and said, "It's pretty big. Do you want to go take a look?"
Taishang Laojun nodded, "Okay!"
Long Pinxuan handed over the catalog of West Lake College and turned to the last page. "Come, sign first!"
Taishang Laojun looked at the page in front of him and naturally understood what Long Pinxuan meant.
But since he was already here, there was no reason to hesitate. He forced out his light golden blood and signed the book.
Long Pinxuan closed the booklet with a smile, and found his second teacher!
"Let's go and take a look at the back garden of West Lake College."
The big ghost stood at the gate of the back garden and respectfully welcomed Long Pinxuan, Taishang Laojun and Erlang Shen.
It was the first time Erlang Shen saw a big ghost. He was a little surprised to see the ghost aura coming out of him. "Is this also a student of the academy? I have never seen one before!"
Long Pinxuan smiled and said, "They are currently serving as errand boys in our academy, but they are allowed to attend my lectures. They were just little demons before, but now their strength has improved quite well. When their strength reaches a certain level, they will be made regular employees."
When the big ghost heard Long Pinxuan say this, his face lit up and he bowed, "Thank you, Dean!"
Long Pinxuan nodded to the big ghost, then turned around and made a gesture of invitation to Taishang Laojun and Erlang Shen.
"Please come and see my back garden."
Taishang Laojun did not continue to move forward, but looked at the border connected to the academy, and suddenly asked in surprise, "Is this a portable space? A portable space for growing plants? Did you open it yourself?"
Long Pinxuan just smiled calmly and said nothing.
"A portable space for planting?" Erlang Shen frowned slightly. "It's the mustard seed space at the back of our cave, right? Almost all caves have it, right?"
Taishang Laojun shook his head and said, "No, no, it's different. The mustard seed space in our cave, even if it's for planting, some of the hardware facilities inside, such as land, need to be prepared by ourselves. But the portable space for planting is different. The land inside can grow automatically. The larger the space is, the larger the land can be. Moreover, the plants grown here can shorten the time and increase the effect of efficacy."
"This kind of land is what we usually call Xiran!"
"Xirang!" Erlang Shen's eyes widened. When Taishang Laojun said the name of this soil, how could Erlang Shen not have heard of it? Xirang is so famous!
Taishang Laojun nodded, "There are very few Xirang, but most of them only have the function of automatic growth and the function of retaining soil nutrients. A small part of Xirang has the function of shortening the growth time of plants and increasing the efficacy. Once the portable space evolves into a portable space for planting plants, the soil inside will naturally evolve into Xirang. I just don't know what kind of Xirang the dean has here?"
Long Pinxuan smiled, "Go in and take a look and you'll know! Laojun is indeed knowledgeable!"
The three of them walked into the back garden, and the scene they saw made Taishang Laojun and Erlang Shen stunned.
What they see is a back garden? A piece of land that stretches as far as the eye can see? Not a continent?
Actually, it’s a bit exaggerated to say it’s the mainland, but it’s not an exaggeration either.
Because at first glance you can't see the end.
The herbal medicines are all over the mountain on the left, and the other side is planted with various vegetables and fruits, the variety is unimaginable. And each kind of vegetable and fruit is piled up, and you can smell the mixed aroma of herbs and fruits.
"This!"
Taishang Laojun flew into the air on the auspicious clouds under his feet. Looking at the various medicinal herbs below, he simply ignored the fruits and vegetables.
"These look like they are hundreds or thousands of years old!"
"You should know that if a hundred become spirits, a thousand become spirits, and ten thousand become immortals, that's what we are talking about, herbs."
Hundred-year-old herbs can be said to possess spiritual energy, and the elixirs made from them are first-rate. Thousand-year-old herbs already possess essence and can bring the dead back to life and regenerate flesh, as can be seen from the fact that hundred-year-old ginseng can prolong life. Ten-thousand-year-old herbs can be classified as magical herbs.
Taishang Laojun stared in amazement at the medicinal herbs that were everywhere in the field. He suddenly looked further away in shock. The herbs there grew even more densely, with rich spiritual energy gathered together, and there were faint signs of deterioration.
"Well, well, well... those are almost ten thousand years old! They are about to be promoted to magical herbs!"
Taishang Laojun only felt that the happiness he felt before was not happiness, and now is happiness!
The soil here is definitely of the highest quality!
He suddenly flew back to Long Pinxuan's side and asked, "How long have you been working in this space? Hundreds of years or thousands of years?"
Long Pinxuan said calmly, "When did my West Lake College open? When did this space come into being?"
Taishang Laojun took a few steps back in shock, "So these herbs have only been planted for more than a year?"
Long Pinxuan nodded calmly, "Not bad."
Erlang Shen's eyes widened beside him. Xirang accelerated tens of millions of times? What kind of portable space is this that the gods can plant?
Taishang Laojun suddenly felt that the dean in front of him was too mysterious!
Erlang Shen did the right thing. He was just betting on a possibility, and he won. Not only did he solve the cause of his physical condition, but he was also able to come here to be a teacher.
And I don’t know which powerful person came up with the idea of building a college for this dean, and he chose to build it in the human world.
Taishang Laojun suddenly felt a little distressed. If this portable space was opened in the fairyland and immortal herbs were planted from the beginning, wouldn’t he have many more hundred thousand year old herbs right now? It was so f*cking distressing!
But now those ordinary herbs are about to evolve into magical herbs, so we don’t have to wait too long!
Taishang Laojun suddenly felt that agreeing to become a teacher at West Lake College was a very wise choice!
"Erlang Shen, well done!"
Erlang Shen: What? What did he do?
