Chapter 136
Others might feel happy about this kind of attraction, but Lin Qinghen just felt annoyed. He never believed that he could attract any good things just by relying on his appearance, and it would only cause unnecessary trouble to himself.
So if I can stay at home during this period of time, I will go out and do other things with Yin Jiuxiao.
Recently, Yin Jiuxiao has been taken by him to farm, and there is nothing that requires fighting. Apart from daily practice, he just takes care of his wife and raises the seedlings. For Yin Jiuxiao, this is a leisure time after the busy work of the ruins.
The mercenary group that they had thrown out before had a few minor troubles because of the Immortality Vine, but Yin Hengxie was there to deal with it, so there was no need for them to get involved again.
The demonic energy in his body was surging, so it was very easy for him to grow the seeds into sprouts. With a wave of his hand, there were hundreds of plants. These sprouts were planted according to the points marked by Lin Qinghen on the map. With it as the center, they grew little by little and began to take effect quickly.
They first took care of the polluted land in the three cities, gave some extra land to the two obedient mercenary groups to station there, and then planned to expand outside the city.
The Immortality Ivy can grow by climbing on rocks. The plant exposed on the ground is not conspicuous, just as thick as a finger, but its root system underground can grow stronger and stronger, absorbing a large area of demonic energy.
When it grows up, with enough magical energy to support it, it can continue to grow as long as there is a little root left. Its vitality is very tenacious. This is the origin of the word "longevity" in the name of Changsheng Teng.
The City of Tears was the first to be planted, and the green vitality was also the first to emerge.
In the past, except for the plantations, the rest of the place was bare. Now, weeds and even wild trees have begun to grow, stretching their bodies with branches, gradually expanding outward, and growing more and more dense. Many people in the City of Tears squatted nearby and looked at the green for a long time, as if they couldn't believe it.
People outside were telling each other that everything was calm here at Lin Qinghen's place.
The first thing he renovated was his own yard. He had always liked to plant flowers and plants, and now he finally got what he wanted.
Some low-star yellow spiritual plants are not very useful, but they are lush and have beautiful flowers. He feels comfortable just looking at them. Some fruits have low spiritual power, but taste good. The ones carefully grown by Lin Qinghen are especially sweet.
He plucked off a few of the fullest ones and left them for Yin Jiuxiao. Hearing him say that they were delicious made him feel happier than getting anything else.
"This is a specialty of Tear City, a taste of the old Northern Province," Yin Jiuxiao stretched out his hand and handed the cut fruit to him, smiling at him, "Before, there was limited land that had not been polluted, so we couldn't grow these useless things. I haven't eaten them for a long time."
In fact, Lin Qinghen, a farmer, originally had such a simple happiness, but due to the situation in the spiritual world, he and Yin Jiuxiao had to stand higher if they wanted to really achieve this lasting peace.
Now it's not enough.
There are also people who are eyeing the situation covetously, but there is no movement at the moment. Apart from anything else, the new task of the system is still hanging there.
The matter of the Immortal Vine was of great importance, and it took Lin Qinghen a long time to confirm the rewards and follow-up tasks given by the system. Only after this matter had progressed steadily and achieved some results did he take the time to confirm them.
It’s probably not an easy thing, let’s do it one by one.
He ate the fruit he had grown and decided to look at something fun first. So he looked at the newly refreshed "extra output" factor, and the definition of this reward was clearly written on the production table.
——Extra Output: Affects the output of Xuan-level and above elixirs. There is a chance to produce special elixirs during production. The chance is affected by natural affinity, currently 1.6%.
Lin Qinghen read this and thought for a while with his chin in his hand.
This factor, which only applies to Xuan-grade elixirs, matches the extra reward he received—two self-selected elixir recipes below Xuan-grade three stars.
Lin Qinghen was finally able to break through to the yellow level in the system and create higher-level pills.
The extra output of Xuan-level and above elixirs is not only present in Lin Qinghen's system. Any alchemist above Xuan-level may experience this situation. It is a low-probability event.
After reaching the Xuan level, it is a completely different realm from the Huang level.
Pills above the Xuan level are more complicated. The prescription requires at least three main ingredients, not only spiritual plants, but also various outputs from spiritual beasts, minerals, and some natural crystals, which are the main ingredients of the pill.
Moreover, Xuan-level spiritual plants are not like Huang-level spiritual plants, which can be planted widely in patches. Many Xuan-level spiritual plants only grow in the wild and have special requirements for the growth environment, so they cannot be raised at will.
Many Xuan-level spiritual plants have developed intelligence to some extent, and will actively attack people just like spiritual beasts. Ordinary farmers cannot even get close to them.
Only families like the Lin family would have large medicinal gardens with rich resources, but Lin Qinghen was only active in the outer circle at that time. He could not enter the middle and inner circles where spiritual plants above the Xuan level were planted.
After arriving in the City of Tears, the pharmacies here are more obvious.
Even if Xuan-level spiritual plants are strong enough to survive in contaminated soil, no medicine shop would take the trouble to grow them in large quantities. Xuan-level spiritual plants have a long growth cycle, are difficult to raise, and the cost is too high.
Generally speaking, the main source of materials above Xuan level for ordinary pharmacies is purchase. It can be said that 95% of the materials on the market are obtained through adventure.
It is impossible to have a unified standard for wild things, which also leads to the fact that even if the materials above the Xuan level are of the same type or even the same star level, there will be great differences between them, and the abilities of alchemists are also gradually stratified.
Because of these many complex situations, the quality differences of the finished products are very obvious.
Unlike yellow-grade elixirs which are sold by the bottle, elixirs of the black grade and above are sold by the pill. Only a single digit of pills can be produced in one furnace, and each pill is different. Extra output will be generated during the alchemy process for this reason.
This kind of output does not mean a few more grains in quantity, but it is like a kind of mutant. The functional utility will be different from the normal output. The specific utility may be good or bad, similar to a by-product.
The probability of 1.6% is not low in horizontal comparison. We will have to wait until it is produced to know what it will look like. It is still unknown what benefits this thing can bring.
But Lin Qinghen did not choose the pill recipe reward immediately. He felt that everything given by the system seemed to be connected at the current stage.
The current choice is obviously closely related to advanced task three.
The tasks assigned by the system now do not require him to do more research on spiritual plants. He probably knows that the individuality of Xuan-level materials is strong, and it is difficult to judge the overall quality optimization. Instead, the system shifts the focus to another key point that alchemists are concerned about.
——Dan recipe.
“Advanced Task Three: Improve the Pill Recipe.
Requirements: Alchemists in the spirit world don't know that many Xuan-level pill recipes are not optimally configured, and the materials are not used to their full potential. Please research the three Xuan-level and above pill recipes and find the best ratio. It is required that the finished product should be optimized by more than 50% compared to the previous one with the same quality of materials.
Rewards: 7 points of natural affinity, 1/4 of a detoxification tablet. After the improved pill system is successfully verified, it can directly enter the production table, and there is a chance to unlock hidden rewards based on the completion status.
Please keep up the good work, host."
The pills that Lin Qinghen can make are limited, so he has to choose carefully, and the system in front of him provides him with too many pill recipes.
Each level of elixir has its own characteristics, and the characteristics of the Xuan level are probably that they are too rich.
The typical function of Xuan-level elixirs is "instant burst", which can provide spiritual masters with a sudden improvement in certain abilities. For example, the previous Gale Powder has the function of Xuan-level elixirs. Acceleration, short-term flight, stealth, controlling fire and water, or some poisonous elixirs, etc., are basically Xuan-level.
Even if it is to replenish spiritual energy to heal injuries or facilitate cultivation, it is not as general as the yellow level. It has become detailed and targeted. Different spiritual essences, different causes of injuries, and different cultivation directions require very different elixirs.
In short, there are all kinds of them. There are more than ten thousand recorded prescriptions for Xuan-level elixirs. Excluding some overly unpopular ones, Lin Qinghen still has hundreds of them to choose from.
For him, the priority is naturally the Xuan-level elixir with a stable supply of raw materials, room for improving the pill formula to maximize profits, obvious efficacy and strong marketability, which is suitable for most people.
He was not in a hurry to choose. He started with the spiritual plant he was most familiar with and did some actual research.
Before Lin Qinghen's own spiritual power broke through the Xuan level, he didn't dare to touch the Xuan level spiritual plants, for fear of being beaten to death by them by accident.
Now that I have finally made a breakthrough, I can finally touch a living Xuan-level spiritual plant.
Lin Qinghen was rubbing his hands in anticipation, very excited.
The Immortal Ivy is not a typical spiritual plant. Its manifestation is too stable and not aggressive at all. With Lin Qinghen's spiritual power, it is not safe to go to the wild, but the only one capable of raising spiritual plants above the Xuan level on a large scale is the Sea Soul City.
Fu Qingping is wealthy, although not as wealthy as the Lin family, but he can still own a medium-sized medicinal garden.
This was Lin Qinghen’s first time going to Haihun City. He didn’t care about anything else and went straight into the medicine garden.
In order to nurture Xuan-level spiritual plants, one must first build a stable barrier. As soon as Lin Qinghen entered, he felt that the spiritual energy became richer with every breath.
The areas with different levels of Xuan-level spiritual plants are strictly separated to prevent them from fighting each other. Those who work inside are all spiritual masters above the Xuan-level, and there are even some at the Earth-level, so that they can be suppressed.
Fu Qingping also sent someone to explain to him. According to this young lady, some spiritual plants have the ability to think and self-awareness, and also have tempers.
“The Xuan-level plants are not like the Huang-level plants that need to be planted in batches. They have a long growth period, and those that can be raised can grow here for a long time. We just pick the fruits during the fruiting period without damaging their roots.
Sometimes I feel like I am raising a child and I have to discuss it with him, for example, this one..."
Lin Qinghen looked in the direction of her finger.
As soon as he entered the barrier, he noticed that there was a big tree at the entrance with lush branches and leaves. When Lin Qinghen looked up, he saw the fruits on it, which were round and had a faint golden color.
He recognized it immediately. It was the five-star Xuan-level Happy Banyan.
The name sounds friendly, but it got this name because its branches and leaves contain trace amounts of poison. In order to protect its fruits, it will use branches to actively attack. The poison of the banyan tree can paralyze a person instantly, and the sequelae is laughter until exhaustion.
"This one doesn't have a good temper," the breeder introduced to him, "but it's very old, and the fruit it bears is of very good quality. It took a lot of effort to transplant it here. Now that we've gotten along well, as long as you don't be too greedy and pick too much at once, it generally doesn't mind."
This is just an example.
The person who brought Lin Qinghen in was also afraid that something might happen to the young master Lin, so he deliberately took his people to stand farther away, a long distance away from Huan Xirong's warning range.
But she didn't expect that as soon as Lin Qinghen stood there, the tree reacted.
It first trembled slightly, as if it felt something, and then began to stretch its branches to probe Lin Qinghen.
The man from Haihun City immediately became anxious, fearing that something might happen as soon as he came in, and wanted to call for help immediately. Yin Jiuxiao, who came with him, reacted quickly and stood in front of Lin Qinghen. Just as he was about to summon his spiritual marrow, he was stopped by Lin Qinghen.
"Jiuxiao, it's okay," Lin Qinghen said, "This is beyond its reach."
They were standing too far away.
Sure enough, the branch of the tree stopped moving when it was a few meters away from Lin Qinghen. Lin Qinghen saw it trying to stretch it but to no avail.
What interesting stuff.
Lin Qinghen's eyes lit up as he stood there staring at it.
And he didn't feel that the tree was hostile to him.
Lin Qinghen had a wealth of basic knowledge and knew that the poison of the Banyan tree was controlled by it. If the toxin condensed in front of the branches, the edge would change color and become a line of purple and black, but the branches that stretched out to him were still green as usual, which meant that they were not poisonous.
The author has something to say: Lin Qinghen: Farming is the most meaningful thing [clenching fist], the end of the world is farming, spiritual plants are really interesting.
As for the fact that the golden finger of the male protagonist of Qidian.com naturally brings special attraction...
Attracts people other than Yin Jiuxiao → looks disgusted and annoys people when seeing them
Attracted spiritual plants → full of joy and enthusiasm
