Yuxue's estimate was still a little inaccurate. That night, after the dark mysterious tree stump once again absorbed the active water poured down by Luo Han, suddenly, a stream of ink-like black mist appeared.
The speed that can be seen by the naked eye breaks away from the surface and radiates outward continuously.
At the moment, Yuxue was helping Luo Han pour active water on the medicinal materials in the Jiling Courtyard. When she noticed something was wrong, she quickly rushed to Luo Han's side and looked at the tree stump that had suddenly changed in surprise.
: "Damn, so fast?"
Luo Han frowned: "Yuxue, you are a girl, you can't be so rude." It was all taught badly by Xiao Xiao.
Yuxue stuck out her tongue disapprovingly.
However, Luo Han's attention was quickly attracted by the strange phenomenon that followed - for some reason, the black mist that emerged, although it spread out in all directions, only drifted a little in his direction.
As if suppressed by something, it no longer floated in within half a foot in front of him, but instead floated in other directions.
"What's going on?" Luo Han was very surprised.
"This is a toxin. You are protected by the Jade Toad Pendant for ten thousand years, so it naturally can't get close to you." Yu Xue understood quite well.
Rohan suddenly became nervous: "Then if it spreads into the air, will it affect the plants here?"
"Fortunately, the plants around here have basically been transformed and optimized by your Xuanshui, and their resistance to poison is stronger than other places." Yuxue immediately gave him a reassurance.
Luo Han felt relieved and stared at the tree stump whose surface had gradually peeled off its original black color, revealing a purple-gold luster.
What kind of good things are hidden in this?
It took more than a quarter of an hour for the black mist to completely dissipate. Then, Luo Han heard a slight creak.
The sound was very familiar, like the sound of young saplings breaking out of the soil.
But... Luohan strangely used his spiritual power to examine the purple-gold tree stump - it was obviously wood.
However, now, on the central surface of this tree stump, there is a pattern that is obviously different from the lines in other places. The length is almost half of the entire tree stump, and it is just a zigzag crack on the line.
After looking at it carefully for several seconds, Rohan finally made a decision. He took a sharp Swiss Army knife from the Sumeru ring, showed the tip of the knife, and pried it down towards the crack.
"slightly"
To Rohan's surprise, he easily pried open the crack without much effort, and the entire tree stump suddenly split into two irregular halves.
An orange-red and dark-gold shadow swept past Luo Han's eyes just as the tree stump split.
Rohan instinctively leaned back to avoid it, immediately lost his center of gravity and sat down on the ground.
However, when he sat firmly, his eyes suddenly opened wider than a bull's eye.
Two saplings, each over two meters tall, suddenly appeared in front of me. They had already sprouted many branches. One was orange-red, and the other was an ordinary log color with golden spots. It was split in half.
The tree stumps now turned into flowerpots that nourished their roots.
Rohan already had the Sumeru Ring, so he quickly understood that this tree stump should have been sealed by some kind of space spell by an ancient god, sealing the two saplings inside. But for some unknown reason
, the active water activated by my thoughts can just pass through the surface of the tree stump, loosening the seal and also promoting the growth of the saplings.
Luo Han didn't recognize these two saplings, so he had to ask Yuxue in shame: "What kind of trees are these two?"
"Oh, uneducated people are really terrible. They can't even recognize the treasures before their eyes..." Yuxue sighed deliberately...
"Don't say yes? It doesn't matter if it's a few words. From tomorrow on, the daily quota of Xuan Shui will be reduced by one cup." Luo Han remained calm.
Yuxue immediately surrendered. She was addicted to drinking Xuanshui now, and this treasure was of great benefit to her cultivation. One less cup would undoubtedly hurt her. She hurriedly approached Luo Han's body to please him: "Don't
,Don’t... I said, I said it’s not okay yet?”.
"Then say it quickly" Luohan knew that she would surrender.
"You must like the orange one. It is the authentic small-leaf red sandalwood sapling. The gold-dotted one is the extremely rare golden silk sapling." Yuxue immediately gave the answer.
Small-leaf red sandalwood and golden nanmu? In other words, they can provide the best rosewood and golden nanmu fragrance?
Rohan was really interested this time.
The understanding and use of red sandalwood in ancient China began at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cui Bao of the Jin Dynasty recorded it in "Gu Jin Zhu", which was called "red sandalwood. It comes from Funan and is purple in color. It is also called red sandalwood."
"Purple" means auspiciousness. In addition to the unique excellent wood properties and rarity of red sandalwood, red sandalwood was highly valued by the royal family in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The emperors of both dynasties did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and gathered the world's most skilled craftsmen to create various products.
Plant red sandalwood furniture and ornaments. These things were truly top-notch at the time, let alone how much more so today?
During the Ming Dynasty, because red sandalwood was valued by the royal family, large-scale logging began. After domestic red sandalwood was harvested, officials were sent to Nanyang to purchase it. This became a regular practice and lasted until the fall of the Ming Dynasty. The places where red sandalwood is produced in the world are mainly in Nanyang.
Therefore, by the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, most of the rosewood produced in the world had been brought to China. Although the Qing Dynasty also purchased new materials from Nanyang, due to the slow growth of rosewood, it did not take hundreds of years.
It cannot be made into materials. Excessive felling in the Ming Dynasty, but it has not yet been revived in the Qing Dynasty, and the sources are exhausted, so most of the new materials are thick and not full, and the joints are not straight.
It takes thousands of years for red sandalwood to become a useful material, and as the saying goes, "Ten sandalwoods and nine empty spaces", the diameter of the largest red sandalwood is only about 20 centimeters, so you can imagine how precious it is. Among the red sandalwoods, small-leaf sandalwood is the best, and the wood grain is not obvious.
, the color is orange-red at first, then dark purple like paint over time, and the growth ring pattern is almost invisible. The vein pattern is extremely fine and twisted like ox hair.
Moreover, red sandalwood is also a valuable traditional Chinese medicine. According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", red sandalwood can stop bleeding, relieve pain, and regulate qi and blood. Mixing white vinegar and red sandalwood powder and applying it to the joints of the legs can eliminate joint swelling and pain; red sandalwood is also good for the intestines and stomach.
Very good, the red sandalwood chips are made into the pillow core, which has a certain soothing effect on gastrointestinal diseases.
Although small-leaf red sandalwood saplings are sold everywhere in the market today, Luo Han intuitively knew that the small-leaf red sandalwood sapling in front of him was by no means comparable to the kind sold in the market.
As for the golden nanmu, that excited him even more. It's not that the small-leaf red sandalwood is not as good as the golden nanmu, but that this golden nanmu has never been sold in the market.
Agarwood is known as the diamond among spices. There is a saying that it is found from agarwood. It is possible that agarwood trees are found after they die, or part of agarwood is collected from the whole piece of agarwood. Originally agarwood is a high-grade
It is a fragrant material, and the most advanced agarwood is Qinan. Qinan has a soft, numb, cool and sticky aroma in the mouth. It has fragrance without burning, and its medicinal properties are milder than agarwood.
Luo Han did not expect that this originally inconspicuous tree stump would actually contain a small-leaf red sandalwood and a golden-threaded phoebe.
It can be imagined that once the golden nanmu wood becomes fragrant, it will definitely be golden nanmu, the most precious type of spices.
"It seems that the grade of my spices may have also increased. The white wood-scented one is sold as ordinary agarwood, and the golden chinensis-scented one can be regarded as the best agarwood."
Thinking of this, Luo Han was in a good mood, but his eyes were focused, and he cautiously verified: "Yuxue, are you sure this is golden nanmu? Didn't you say that qinan was found from agarwood?"...
"That's ordinary agarwood." Yuxue curled her lips disdainfully: "Jinsiqi Nanmu is a mutated species of agarwood that became extinct hundreds of years ago. Don't mention it here, it's in the hands of uncle farmers.
You’re really lucky that there’s no inventory.”
Rohan's eyes suddenly brightened.
This golden nanmu tree has become extinct in modern times. Now he found one and used his active water to promote its growth. Hehe, it is equivalent to saving an endangered plant.
Very good, the great ambition he made before at the altar of Shennong has now been completed as a great first step.
But Yu Xue didn't finish her words. She took a look at the stumps at the base of these two saplings: "Also, do you think these two saplings are the only treasures here? Don't you look at the others?"
Luo Han was stunned: "Just these two saplings are enough to surprise me. Are there any other treasures?"
He carefully inspected the two saplings and found nothing foreign. After thinking for a while, he used his mental power to scan the tree stumps as the roots. He found nothing except soil.
"No?"
"I'm dizzy." Yuxue rolled her eyes in annoyance. Nowadays, she uses this Internet term very fluently: "Take a closer look."
Rohan checked it again in confusion, but still found nothing.
"You...didn't you mean this tree stump? There are quite a few words."
He stretched out his hand and knocked on the surface of the tree stump. Although it still felt like a tree, the sound was dull, but the texture was as hard as before, with a slight chill.
"I'm so stupid that I'm almost mad at you. Although I admit that this thing is a treasure in terms of material, but it is a disposable thing and has been used up. Before you can find the Chaos Fire to refining it, you can't use it at all.
No. Think about it carefully and search carefully." Yu Xue pointed at Luo Han's head and started dotting it.
Luo Han's face turned slightly red. Although Yuxue was several thousand years older than him, at this moment Yuxue was a young girl. Any man would be embarrassed to be scolded by a beautiful woman.
After checking it carefully again, Luo Han asked tentatively: "What do you mean, is this soil?"
"That's the right answer, but your reaction was too slow, so there is no reward." Yuxue looked at him dissatisfied. How could a person who is usually so smart become a dim person this time? Isn't this obvious?
Luo Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief - he finally passed the test.
He hurriedly asked: "What's so special about these soils?"
