Just as he was told, Lu Li returned to the basement and started preparing materials.
Making instant damage potion requires watermelon. Lu Li had obtained watermelon seeds from the artificial mine before, but he never had time to plant them.
Now, let’s start with planting watermelons.
The method of growing watermelons is different from other crops, but it is the same as pumpkins.
After the watermelon matures, it will not grow in the same place, but will grow in a field near the watermelon vine.
If there is already a watermelon on the adjacent farmland, soil or grass.
Then, no new watermelons will grow on the watermelon vine until that watermelon disappears.
Moreover, if the land is cultivated land, it will be destroyed and turned into soil after the watermelons grow.
Therefore, when planting watermelons, you must pay attention to spacing one row apart.
Otherwise, watermelons will not grow.
After the watermelon is ripe and picked, the watermelon vines will remain.
As long as the watermelon vine is still there, new watermelons can keep growing.
Like other crops, watermelon needs enough light to grow.
There should be at least one space above the watermelon vine so that the watermelon can grow smoothly.
Watermelon grows slower than other crops and takes longer to harvest.
Although watermelon seeds can be ripened with bone meal before growing into watermelon vines.
But after turning into a watermelon vine, bone meal cannot be used.
Therefore, Lu Li could only wait a few days before harvesting.
After thinking for a while, Lu Li decided to create a red stone watermelon farm.
The structure of the watermelon redstone farm is very simple. You only need to place the piston in the open space next to the watermelon.
Make sure that when the watermelon grows out, it is just in front of the piston arm.
The pistons and watermelons are arranged in a row, and a ditch is dug next to them.
Then use redstone powder to connect these pistons and connect them to the last lever control.
After the watermelon is ripe, you only need to pull the lever to activate the piston.
The piston arm will push the ripe watermelon and drop the watermelon slices.
The watermelon slices will fall into the ditch, enter the funnel with the water flow, and then enter the box placed by Lu Li.
In this way, Lu Li could save a lot of time.
If you can find slimes, get slime balls, and make sticky pistons.
Lu Li can build a fully automated watermelon farm, which will be more efficient.
However, the conditions for slime generation are very harsh and difficult to encounter.
Slimes can be generated in specific areas below level 40, or in swamps between levels 50-70 with a brightness level of 7 or less.
Slimes will not spawn within 24 blocks, and will disappear at any time if no one is within 32 blocks of them.
If the distance exceeds 128 blocks, the slime will disappear directly.
Finding wild slimes almost depends on luck.
But you can build a slime farm.
The prerequisite is to find a swamp.
Slimes are generally generated below the 39th floor.
Build the first spawn area on level 39, with a size of 16x16 or 18x18.
Pumpkin lanterns can be embedded on the ground for lighting.
You can then expand three spaces around the platform and continue to build a slime spawning area of the same size further down.
The distance between the two levels of areas is more than three spaces.
Because the largest slime is two blocks tall, slimes of all sizes can potentially spawn.
Create a slime spawning area with five to six layers, and then place iron golems and funnels on the bottom layer.
After the slime is generated, it will attack the iron golem, kill it, and turn into slime balls that fall from the hopper into the box.
After Lu Li finished working on the farm, it was almost dawn.
In a little while, the auction will begin.
Lu Li was just about to go out when he saw the man he met before.
The man is standing outside the gate waiting.
"What time is it? Why are you here so early?"
Lu Li walked up to the man and asked curiously.
"Aren't I afraid that I'll be late and won't be able to get in line?"
When the man saw Lu Li, he smiled and said.
For some reason, Lu Li always felt an inexplicable pressure when talking to men.
"By the way, what kind of coffee did you give me two days ago? Do you still have it?"
The man looked at Lu Li expectantly and asked.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"It's like this. I drank your coffee that day. After I got home, I felt more energetic and more energetic at work, so I wanted to try it again."
"Easy to say, easy to say! The most important thing I don't lack here is coffee!"
With that said, Lu Li walked in and poured the man a cup of coffee.
"Drink, it's fresh and hot!"
The man took the cup from Lu Li's hand and eagerly took a sip.
Immediately, an expression of enjoyment appeared on his face.
"This coffee is really good!"
The man couldn't help but admired.
Lu Li didn't have time to discuss so much with him now.
He took Dahei out of the stable, got on his horse, and prepared to go to the auction.
Lu Li rode Dahei out of the door and disappeared around the corner,
The man looked at Lu Li's disappearing figure, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"What an interesting guy. It seems... we need to investigate this person's origins!"
Lu Li first came to Wendy's house and asked him to deliver the potion and golden apples to the trading house first.
Lu Li was almost startled when he opened the door.
"Wendy, how did you end up like this?"
Lu Li asked with concern.
Wendy had two dark circles on her face, and it was obvious that she had not slept all night.
He has been concentrating on studying the medicine refining technology in the past few days, almost forgetting to sleep and eat.
"Teacher, I'm fine!"
Wendy said with a forced smile.
Although Wendy, the apprentice, is a bit older, her talent is pretty good and there is still room for improvement.
Wendy has been stuck as an intermediate alchemist for a long time. After receiving Lu Li's guidance, his alchemy skills improved by leaps and bounds.
Given time, I will definitely become a qualified senior alchemist.
"Pay attention to your health. Refining medicine is important, but your health is the most important. I have a lot of new potions that I need your help with recently. Don't get tired!"
Lu Li patted Wendy and said.
"Thank you for your concern, teacher. I will pay attention to it."
Wendy was flattered and nodded in agreement.
As soon as he heard that Lu Li had new potions to refine, he immediately became energetic.
This meant that he could learn new recipes from Lu Li.
For an alchemist, there is nothing more worth looking forward to than this.
"Go and help me get some brewing stands. I'm sorry to bother you all the time!"
Lu Li said.
"This... you have to go to the Alchemist Guild for approval!"
Wendy said with some embarrassment.
Each alchemist has only one opportunity to apply for a brewing stand per year.
The last time Lu Li refined the splash potion of weakness, he used up several brewing stands.
Those are Wendy's inventory over the years.
"Okay, then I'll go there by myself after I'm done!"
Lu Li did not continue to embarrass Wendy.
When the time comes, just go to the Alchemist Guild headquarters to find Karl.
After all, he is the president of the Alchemist Guild, so he should have no problem getting himself a brewing stand!
