Chapter 21 Tantai Chan
Memorizing the knowledge of herbs is enough for now, but Wang Yu is going to report to the herb garden anyway, so it's also good to integrate it into practice.
If he can perfect the Night Concealment Spell, it will be difficult for others to pinpoint his location, and he would not have been ambushed by the Bewitching God four days ago.
A wise man keeps his talents hidden until the right time to act.
Only by hiding well can there be a future.
After packing his things, Wang Yu knew he wouldn't be back for another six months.
The private medicine garden of Steward Tantai is located in the [Evil God Workshop], and the owner behind it is the territory of the Ninth Peak [Evil God Peak].
This lineage has no Nascent Soul True Monarchs; the highest-ranking cultivator is a Core Formation Peak cultivator. They are at the bottom of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, so the situation in the Evil God Pavilion is quite chaotic. People from the other eight peaks have all settled here to get a share of the profits.
Tantai Chan belongs to Hanxue Peak, but her medicine garden is located in Evil God's Workshop. This shows the power of the Hanxue lineage. After all, the medicine garden is not a small facility, and its growth requires a large amount of spiritual energy.
They are usually placed directly above the spiritual veins, and various formations need to be set up to simulate the growth environment required by different spiritual herbs.
First-tier spiritual herbs don't have overly demanding environmental requirements, so their cultivation shouldn't be too difficult.
Following the instructions on the mission scroll, Wang Yu walked straight down the main street and arrived at the main entrance two hours later.
Judging from its appearance, it is actually a large courtyard located in the middle of the Evil God's Workshop, near the outer edge. The spiritual energy inside is extremely dense, almost turning into a thin mist.
A wall two people high surrounded the area on all sides, except for the main gate, which was a gate-like structure with upturned eaves and arched corners, and was carved with unknown small beasts.
The door is adorned with a ring held by a bat; knock gently.
The bronze-headed beast's eyes emitted two beams of light, and only when they swept over the mission scroll in his hand did it open.
Wang Yu walked in and was immediately greeted by a sea of medicinal herbs.
On the left is a first-tier spiritual herb, Five Essence Grass, one of the main ingredients for refining the Bigu Pill.
On the right is a first-tier spiritual herb, Bone Strengthening Flower, one of the main ingredients for refining Body Tempering Pills.
There are no grades of spiritual herbs, such as low, medium, high, and extreme; they are only classified as common, rare, etc. However, there are different grades of pills made from them, which depends on the alchemist's skill.
The fact that Steward Tantai's medicinal herb gardens are all large-scale cultivation made Wang Yu feel much more at ease, at least it wouldn't be too troublesome.
This is just the front yard; the two medicinal fields together have over a thousand medicinal plants, which are quite valuable.
In the middle is a well-ventilated hall with a few thin curtains and wind chimes hanging in the air. The gentle breeze, combined with the fragrance of herbs throughout the garden, makes it a truly delightful place.
The building connected to Chuanfeng Hall is a straight line that divides the entire herb garden in two. The back courtyard is divided into four herb fields, where rare medicinal herbs are planted.
Yellow Lotus Fungus, Nine-Leaf Frost Grass, Jade Dragon Orchid... and two second-tier spirit trees, Moonlight Trees, whose fruits, Moonlight Fruit, are not only good for beauty and skin care, but also help Foundation Establishment cultivators who practice Yin-cold attribute techniques to improve their true essence.
It takes ten years to mature, making it a rare variety among second-tier spiritual herbs. After all, it is a fruit tree, which can produce a continuous supply of fruit, making it more valuable than ordinary spiritual herbs.
Wang Yu was looking around, his sinuses twitching, when suddenly he smelled a fragrant breeze coming from his right. He looked closely.
She was dressed in a light blue belted skirt, her hair styled in an exquisite cloud-like bun, adorned with a gold hairpin, and a fish-shaped floral ornament with a gold and blue gemstone dot on her forehead.
Two wisps of flowing gauze encircled her arms and shoulders, and her long, slender legs swayed as she approached.
Her features were delicate, with long, narrow eyebrows and eyes, exuding a strange charm that was both youthful and alluring. Only the coldness in her eyes was penetrating to the bone.
While Wang Yu was amazed by her beauty, he was not bewitched.
“Wang Yu, a cultivator from the Ice and Snow Pavilion, pays respects to Senior Tantai.”
Tantai Chan nodded slightly, sizing up Wang Yu's white hair and obviously aged face, but then stopped looking at him.
"Can you take good care of my medicinal herb garden?"
Wang Yu nodded and then shook his head.
"Except for these two moon trees, which I'm not sure about, the other medicinal herbs will be fine after six months of care."
"Too."
Upon seeing the black-blooded disciple token on Wang Yu's waist, Tantai Chan immediately understood that he was only an outer disciple, so she handed him a jade slip.
"It contains the methods for maintaining the Moonlight Tree, as well as solutions for dealing with pests and diseases. I need to go into seclusion for the next six months to refine a batch of elixirs. Whether I come out of seclusion sooner or later, you must ensure that not a single grain of rice in the herb garden is missing."
"Disciple obeys."
"Very good. On the right is your room, as well as the tools and seeds needed to maintain the medicinal herb field. Remember to harvest and replant any medicinal herbs that ripen. Start your work today."
"yes---"
For the next few days, Wang Yu became a medicinal herb farmer in the fields, weeding and catching insects, patrolling the fields three times a day, demonstrating diligence and responsibility.
After observing him for several days and confirming that there were no problems, Tantai Chan went to the hermitage to the left of Chuanfeng Hall to go into seclusion.
Although Wang Yu knew she was an alchemist, they weren't close, so he didn't want to ask too many questions and just focused on farming.
Amidst her busy schedule, she also diligently cultivates herself.
After all, at this stage, the effect of the placement bar can be summed up in four words: "diligence can make up for lack of talent." The spiritual energy needs to be compressed by himself through the circulation of the cultivation technique to complete the first spiritual refinement and improve the quality of the spiritual energy.
The difficulty of reducing ten to one is not low.
When he reached the limit of his meridians and was mentally exhausted, he would continue to study the Ice Shield Technique until midnight before finally going to sleep and resting.
When life is fulfilling, time seems to fly by.
In the blink of an eye, it had been the thirty-fifth day of Wang Yu's life as an outer disciple, and he had been at this private medicine garden for a month.
That day.
There was a knock on the gate of Tantai Medicinal Herb Garden, and Wang Yu went to open it with his hoe.
Upon meeting, I was met by a refined man in a blue robe and cloud-patterned crown. Two long, silvery-white wisps of beard hung down from his temples. Although he looked young, he was probably quite old.
The aura emanating from him was quite overwhelming to Wang Yu, indicating that he was a powerful figure in the Foundation Establishment stage. He quickly bowed in respect.
"Wang Yu, an outer disciple of Cold Blood Peak, greets Foundation Establishment senior."
"Get up, what's wrong with you...?"
"Medicinal herb farmer".
Wang Yu waved the small medicine hoe a few times, and the Cloud Crown cultivator showed a look of realization: "I have something to discuss with Junior Sister Tantai. I wonder if she is at home?"
“Senior Tantai is currently in seclusion refining pills and should not be disturbed. He will not emerge from seclusion for at least another six months,” Wang Yu replied quickly.
"In that case, please deliver this invitation to Junior Sister Tantai on my behalf."
"yes!"
Seeing him leave, Wang Yu closed the door and looked at the red invitation in his hand. The invitation was for a date approximately eight months later.
"Xu's Pill Shop is opening, and we would like to invite Senior Tantai to attend the opening ceremony?"
"Xu's Pill Shop..."
Wang Yu had some thoughts in his mind. He still had some interest in alchemy, otherwise he wouldn't be working here to build a foundation.
Otherwise, would we use the token with the thousand contribution points to exchange for the alchemy inheritance?
Wang Yu asked himself this question, but he wasn't in a hurry.
Learning alchemy is extremely expensive. Apart from using the placement bar to take a shortcut, he doesn't have the capital to learn it, so he'll wait.
Once you've mastered the spells enough, go and change them.
