Chapter 86: Alfalfa Seeds To outsiders, the wild land may seem desolate...
To outsiders, the wilderness may appear lush and green with abundant flowers.
But in the eyes of the ghost scholar, this was not the case at all. The space was empty and a large part of the strange power had disappeared. The ghost scholar couldn't help but stop and frowned. This was a bit problematic.
Could it be a strange beast? That's impossible. It's impossible for the Bronze Mirror Lady not to warn.
What's more important is that the ghost scholar believes in his own strength. As a local priest, he didn't even notice it, so it couldn't be a strange beast. Moreover, he has been here for so long, what kind of strange beast has such patience?
The ghost scholar paused and slowly approached the wilderness.
The flowers in the wild were blooming luxuriantly. As he approached, the rich fragrance of the flowers swept over him. The ghost scholar approached the place that seemed empty to him, and felt an empty and strange force.
"Huh?" The ghost scholar was a little surprised. He really didn't feel anything.
Wait, do I have to look for more?
"If there is so much strange power, it can't be a strange beast, but a strange plant?" The ghost scholar quickly thought of a possibility. This is also what Ye Lu said when he found the Yang Teng tree last time. Strange plants can also absorb a lot of strange power.
The ghost scholar couldn't help but speculate in his heart, if it was real, the strange plant must be good, thinking of this, the ghost scholar increased his senses and searched carefully.
Once again nothing was found.
"..." The ghost scholar was puzzled when he saw that he could not sense anything again. He was already an official priest. Even though he had only been in this land for a short time, he was confident that his sense of this land was unique. After scanning several times, he still could not find anything.
The ghost scholar was stunned. He stood up straight and touched his chin, wondering if he was overthinking.
But this piece of wasteland is still too conspicuous. What if it really is a strange plant and he missed it? He will definitely regret it when he returns.
The ghost scholar looked around, and all the plants in the field were in his sight. He confirmed that every plant he saw was not a strange plant.
"If it's not a strange plant, then what is it?" The ghost scholar scratched his head, looking puzzled. If it's not a strange beast, then it's not a strange plant.
The ghost scholar's gaze lingered on some half-faded flowers in the field. A flash of lightning flashed through his mind, but when he tried to chase the lightning of inspiration, it was in vain. Everything was blank.
"Wait, let me think about it, let me think about it." The ghost scholar pondered for a moment, and he felt that he had some clues.
The ghost scholar thought for a moment, and then he used his spiritual sense to search more carefully. This time, he was no longer focusing on the plants but on the half-opened branches of the plants.
"Found it!" After a while, the ghost scholar opened his eyes, his eyes full of surprise.
The ghost scholar found the target location following his spiritual sense. He stared closely at the ordinary plant in front of him. It was just an ordinary alfalfa. The key point was one of its branches. The flowers had just withered, revealing the timid little fruits on the branch.
This little seed must have been born just these few days, and it is very tender.
The reason why the ghost scholar kept his eyes on this seed was that there was a faint mysterious power emanating from the seed, which ordinary people might easily overlook if they did not feel it carefully.
The ghost scholar's spiritual consciousness had not discovered this seed before probably because it was too young and its mysterious power was too subtle.
Weird plant.
To be precise, the seeds planted by the strange plant.
The ghost scholar couldn't help but smile. It seemed that he was lucky. This seed met him just after it was born. If it was later, the seed would not be replenished with strange power and it would probably fail to grow. It would either rot or turn back into an ordinary alfalfa seed.
The ghost scholar silently took out a mysterious bead from his arms, crushed it, and carefully sprinkled the powder under the branches of this ordinary alfalfa. The mysterious power was quickly absorbed by the green seeds on the branches. At first glance, it seemed to be even more abundant than before.
The ghost scholar looked even more satisfied.
Although alfalfa is a strange herb, now it depends on what direction this seed will take in the future. If it is like green millet, not only will it bear fruit itself, but it can also produce seeds of white millet, which is also a profit. Even if it doesn't work, alfalfa can still be considered a good economic crop.
The whole plant is edible.
It has absorbed so much mysterious power just after it was born. The level of this seed must be quite good.
The ghost scholar looked at the branch with admiration for several times, and waited until he was sure that the small seed was not dangerous before he stood up. He paused, waved his hand, and set up a barrier for the purple alfalfa. Once a strange beast approached, he would be able to sense it at the first time. After doing all this, the ghost scholar returned to the mountains.
When Ye Lu came back, what he heard was what the ghost scholar said: they would soon have another strange plant.
"Judging from the strange plant that has been born, it should be alfalfa. I don't know if it will mutate." The ghost scholar said with a smile. According to the rules of He Village, this was discovered by him alone, and this future strange plant will belong to him alone.
"Purple alfalfa, huh? Not bad. Although it is a herb, I remember that plants like alfalfa can grow in clumps, so the yield should not be low." After listening to this, Ye Lu pondered and nodded.
"You're lucky. What you found is actually a seed." Ye Lu looked at the ghost scholar with a slight smile on his face. He said, "When the seeds grow, the strange power is fully replenished. The quality must be much better than the strange plants grown in the wild."
After all, strange plants are born randomly, and the places where they are born are not always rich in strange power. Often, strange plants can only barely survive.
"The fact that you can sense the seeds of this strange plant proves that you may have a certain connection with it." Ye Lu also reminded.
The fact that the ghost scholar sensed the seed as soon as it was born proved that their attributes were compatible. Ye Lu even suspected that the alfalfa seed might be of wind attribute.
The ghost scholar didn't really care about this. It was just a pleasant surprise. No one expected that when he just decided to turn over a new leaf, good luck would suddenly come to him. This surprised the ghost scholar who had always had bad luck.
How should I put it? It feels like I’m being rewarded for doing good things.
Although the ghost scholar has always refused to say it out loud, he actually really thinks so in his heart. The function of the alfalfa seeds has been put aside. He now just wants this strange plant seed that suddenly hit him on the head to grow well, and then he will cultivate this seed well.
"I hope so." said the ghost scholar.
In fact, the ghost scholar was really serious, no less serious than Xi Mingren when he first raised tea. Every day he would go to the wasteland to check on the growth of alfalfa. Once the ghost power was lacking or insufficient, he would take out the ghost beads without hesitation to replenish it.
Until one day.
The ghost scholar returned to Chongshan. Ye Lu and Xi Mingren were discussing that the Yangteng fruit would be ripe in a few days.
"..." The playful man scratched his chin with the dominoes and said thoughtfully: "Maybe it's my illusion. I always feel that the strange shrub is not as lazy as before."
Ye Lu raised his eyebrows, a little curious, and was about to ask.
The ghost scholar had finished his dinner and said calmly, "The seed is ripe now. Do you want to come with me to check it out tomorrow?"
When these words were spoken, it was like a huge rock falling onto the calm water.
Ye Lu and the others suddenly realized what was going on. After calculating the time, they found that the purple alfalfa seeds of the ghost scholar were almost ripe. Ye Lu was the first to agree. He had never seen real strange plant seeds, not counting the laurel seeds. These were his natural talents. Ye Lu was very curious about the maturation process of the wild strange plant seeds outside.
