Chapter 23 Nourishing Herbs
After putting the handed over herbs into the storage bag, the disciples began to allocate the remaining herbs. Lin Yao and Jian Chuan had higher cultivation levels, so they naturally had more. Wen Tianbao was a newcomer and was taken care of, so he also slightly divided three herbs that could help his cultivation.
After distributing the herbs, everyone left. Wen Tianbao returned to the yard and couldn't wait to boil the pot of hot water. According to the "Purchase of Things" in "Lingmu Jue", three herbs were put into the pot in order and added some seasonings. Soon, a pot of fragrant herb soup was boiled.
Wen Tianbao scooped a scoop with a large spoon and tasted it briefly, but he felt that the soup was rich, fresh, fragrant and refreshing, and his whole body was full of energy. Drink a few more sips, and the purple mansion of Dantian became warm. Wen Tianbao was delighted and drank a few bowls into his stomach. He immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and started practicing.
The next morning, Wen Tianbao was full of energy. With a slight sense, his spiritual power increased a little. If he had been taking medicine to improve his cultivation, he would probably have hope of refining Qi within a year and a half. Thinking of this, Wen Tianbao had a motivation. With his qualifications, he could only rely on herbs and pills to break through the barrier of cultivation. If he had a medicine garden and planted with spiritual medicines, would it mean that there would be a continuous supply and his cultivation would be able to make great progress?
Of course, the idea is good. Not to mention where Wen Tianbao chose a place to plant herbs, just take his magical attainments as an example. Now, he has only seen the "Lingyu Technique" and "Yuangu Technique" and other techniques. He cannot speak of practice, let alone master it. After thinking for a while, he heard the shouting outside the door. Wen Tianbao knew that it was Guo Yuanxiao who came to call him to go to Baicao Garden.
When we arrived at Baicao Garden, all the senior brothers and sisters had already followed the steps, waving their hands to control the spirit rain, or squatting in front of the herbs to keep the herbs healthy and eliminate insects. This day was obviously not as good as yesterday. Yesterday happened to be in a good harvest season. On the one hand, it was easier, and on the other hand, everyone received benefits. Today is coming, and they have to work hard again. Wen Tianbao knew that growing herbs is not a matter of one day or one night. It requires patience and hard work to get a harvest.
After Wen Tianbao greeted all the senior brothers and sisters, he heard Lin Yao, who was fiddling with herbs, stood up and waved and shouted: "Junior Brother Fang, come here. Today I will teach you how to use magic to nourish and maintain herbs."
"You should have read the things in the book. Now I will demonstrate it to you first." Lin Yao said, muttering words in her mouth, and the movements on her fingers were also volatile. Wen Tianbao had read the book before, so he was naturally familiar with the mantras and fingers. He heard Lin Yao shout "Go" and saw a spiritual cloud flying out of his fingers. The cloud rose into the air, gradually getting bigger, and finally rose to a few feet in a circle. When Wen Tianbao raised his head, strands of rain fell on his face, and the raindrops penetrated into the pores, bringing a burst of refreshment.
When he looked down, the herbs in the soil below were like wine and rain, and they all rose and ejaculated, constantly sucking the spiritual rain, becoming more and more shiny. After the herbs were absorbed for a while, he saw Lin Yao's restraining technique and looked at Wen Tianbao and said, "Did you see clearly? This is the spiritual rain technique. You can demonstrate it."
"Okay." Wen Tianbao had already wanted to experiment. He used it in a good manner. As soon as the magic trick was finished, a stream of spiritual cloud condensed on his fingers. Wen Tianbao was a little proud. He had only read the book once or twice, and saw Lin Yao performing it on the spot. He had initially mastered the key points and had some talent in magic. Just as his mind dissipated, Ling Yun "was shouting" and dispersed like a gust of wind, leaving only a bunch of water stains in his palm.
"Don't be distracted when casting spells. I think you are talented in magic and should be able to integrate into us soon. Maybe your attainments are deeper than us at that time." Lin Yao said sincerely.
"Senior sister is too rewarded." Wen Tianbao did not drag on the mud, and used it again. This time the spiritual cloud was very stable. It moved with Wen Tianbao's fingers and left the string and flew into the air. This cloud was only half a foot in size, and it was easy to control it. As soon as Wen Tianbao sensed, he felt that a stream of spiritual power gathered from the clouds and condensed into a trace of rain. When Wen Tianbao thought, the rain water fell like to smoke, falling down, much smaller than the rain water condensed by Lin Yao. If the rain gathered by Lin Yao could be called a thread, then Wen Tianbao condensed by a little thinner than the silk.
Wen Tianbao originally had treasure jade that could be blessed, and might be able to make the clouds, rain and dew stronger. But even if his classmates were all kind people, they were afraid that they would spread it and be missed by those who were interested, and that the consequences would be bad.
"Junior Brother Fang has learned well, basically, but he still has to be proficient in one or two." Lin Yao pointed out the problem and said: "When reciting magic tricks, you are too rigid. Magic tricks are originally used to assist in communication in the early stage. If a monk with a small success in magic tricks, he does not need to recite magic tricks at all. He will just wave his hand. Of course, ordinary magic tricks are foundation-building monks. We Qi-refining monks can only improve magic tricks as much as possible to make the casting smoother and more suitable for ourselves."
"Thank you for your advice from my senior sister." Wen Tianbao suddenly thought of the monk who used the exquisite 'fire technique' in the restaurant that day, and asked, "Is it possible that any magic can turn decay into magic after practicing to a certain extent?"
"This question is good. It is indeed the case, but it depends on how you improve it. The master once said, 'If you think that magic is art and law is law, then it is destined to be just a small path.' A truly advanced cultivator speaks the Dharma and communicates with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at will, and it is unimaginable that the mountains and earth collapse when they wave their hands."
"I understand a little. Can you demonstrate to me the other three techniques of "Yuangu Technique", "Deworming Technique", and "Wood Raising Technique"?" Wen Tianbao is not too ambitious. Now he just wants to fully learn the magic about planting spiritual herbs first. As for the small achievements of magic, it is too ethereal. After all, cultivation is the foundation. Even if a disciple in the Qi Refining Stage has exquisite magic, it is impossible to defeat the foundation-building cultivator. This is the gap in the realm of cultivation.
"Don't be too greedy in the early stage to avoid confusion and mistakes." Lin Yao persuaded.
"Sister sister just practice it for me. I can go back and study it again, and I will naturally understand it when the time comes." Wen Tianbao insisted.
"Okay, you're ready." Lin Yao did not refuse and directly demonstrated the use of "Yuan Gu Technique", "Deworming Technique" and "wood cultivation Technique" to Wen Tianbao. Wen Tianbao naturally remembered it seriously.
After Lin Yao finished the drill, Wen Tianbao used the "Spiritual Rain Technique" in a range under his guidance to moisten the spiritual power of the plants. Without the supply of jade, Wen Tianbao spent a lot of effort, and then baptized a piece of medicine field, making him exhausted.
Seeing that Wen Tianbao was exhausted, Lin Yao and others asked him to go back and rest as soon as possible. In addition, among these disciples, his cultivation was the weakest, with only the third level of Qi refining, followed by the fourth level of Qi refining, and he did not use Baoyu, so his natural endurance was insufficient.
It was noon at this moment. Wen Tianbao was walking on the road. Before he could reach the stone steps, he saw several disciples standing under the tree next to the road. Although these disciples were also gray robes, their quality was obviously much better than the disciple uniforms worn by Wen Tianbao. He was obviously a kind of powerful family. Wen Tianbao raised his eyebrows and lowered his head slightly. As soon as he walked a few steps, he heard one of them shouting: "Slow down, who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Wen Tianbao turned around slowly and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I am a new disciple of Baicaotang, and I have met you all senior brothers."
"Oh, seeing that you are quite elegant, we won't make things difficult for you, just take a spirit stone." The young man with thin eyes smiled, as if he was talking about something relaxed.
Wen Tianbao had no spirit stones on his body, but let alone not, even if there were, he would not hand them over so cowardly. But seeing that there were several people on the other side, he didn't know the depth of his cultivation, so he didn't dare to fight them head-on. He had to retreat and circumvent his mind and said, "I am a newcomer. Senior brother, you know that Baicaotang is very poor. Not to mention us newcomers, even those old disciples may not be able to take out the spirit stones at will."
"Oh, I know this. Since you can't get out the spirit stone, you can just hand over other things. I heard that you have gained a lot recently. Each disciple has distributed some herbs. Seeing that you are a newcomer, you only need to hand over a portion." The corners of the thin-eyed young man raised his mouth and his eyes narrowed into a slit. "Okay, I'll hand over." Wen Tianbao agreed.
The young man didn't expect Wen Tianbao to agree so simply. He was surprised at first, and then smiled even more. In his opinion, the disciple had already succumbed to the majesty of their group of people. He didn't expect Wen Tianbao to deal with it. While he was pursuing his pocket, he had already made secret gestures, and the person quietly moved to the land on the side. When everyone saw him chanting the spell, it was too late. Baoyu's spiritual power was stimulated, and the soil loosened, and the whole person fell into it. Everyone was shocked. The young man was the first to be the first to be chanted and recited the magic tricks quickly. A ball of fireballs was condensed and exploded at the location where Wen Tianbao was before. Its power was no less than the deer-eyed man he met in the restaurant, and it burned the land to pieces.
"This kid actually knows escape skills!" The young man with small eyes looked ugly, but he was not willing to give up. He ordered people to search nearby, but finally there was no trace of Wen Tianbao, so he had to give up.
Speaking of which, Wen Tianbao was like a fish in water in the soil. With the blessing of Baoyu's spiritual power, he circled the mountain all the way and finally stopped in front of the stone steps at the main entrance of the mountain. He sensed it first and noticed that there seemed to be no disciples nearby, so he emerged.
