Manager Wang straightened up, patted the mud on his hands, and walked deeper into the fence.
Li Yuan took his hand back from the Spirit Herb plant and followed it.
After taking two steps, Li Yuan spoke.
"What's the name of the plant just now?"
Manager Wang didn't stop and didn't look back.
"Which one?"
"The stems are green and the edges of the leaves are silvery."
Manager Wang said oh and pointed behind him.
"Foundation-Solidifying Grass. After taking it, it can consolidate Qi and Blood. The effect is mild and long-lasting, suitable for long-term care. The quality of First-Tier Superior-Grade has lasted for more than two years."
He took his hand back and continued walking forward.
"This thing is not particularly rare. You can occasionally encounter it outside, but the quality varies. The strain in Herb Garden is grown by relying on spiritual veins, and its quality is one to two percent better than what can be bought on the market outside."
Li Yuan nodded and did not ask any further questions.
The two of them continued walking deeper along the path in the fence.
The medicinal materials in the fence are of higher grade as you go further in. The spirit medicine plants near the corners are short in size but have thick rhizomes, and the lines on the leaves are more than twice as fine as those on the outside.
Manager Wang stood in front of a dark green spirit medicine plant that was half a person tall.
The stem of this spirit medicine is almost as thick as an arm, and its surface is covered with a dark leather shell. The top has not yet bloomed, and several thick leaves are tightly closed. In the middle, a bulging Flower Bud can be vaguely seen, which is blue-gray and has a subtle flow of spiritual light on its surface.
"This is one of the main ingredients of Foundation Establishment Dan." Manager Wang's tone became darker.
He tapped the Flower Bud with his finger.
Li Yuan glanced at the spirit medicine plant.
"How many plants of this level are there in Herb Garden?"
"In the whole fence, there are about ten plants of First-Tier Superior-Grade. There are only two plants whose quality is close to that of Second-Order, and this is one of them." Manager Wang nuzzled at another medicinal plant next to it, "That plant is also fast, but it is about ten days later than this one."
The two walked out of the fence and walked around the outside along the slope.
The medicine gardens on the outside are several grades lower than those inside the fence, and most of them are Low-grade First-Order and middle-grade Spirit Herb.
As Li Yuan walked, he scanned the medicine gardens on both sides and noticed Spirit Herb in several medicine gardens. Manager Wang didn't even look at it when he passed by, let alone introduce it.
Those Spirit Herb plants look very ordinary. Their stems are thin and weak, and their leaves are gray-green, making them inconspicuous among the surrounding Spirit Herb plants.
However, there are several very light lines of Spirit Pattern carved on the stone railing of the medicine garden. The color is so dim that you can't even notice it unless you look carefully.
He did not reach out to touch it, but took a few more glances at the Spirit Herb plants.
Manager Wang walked a few steps, probably noticing Li Yuan's gaze, and glanced back.
"Don't touch those plants."
The tone was casual, but the words were firm.
Manager Wang did not elaborate on what those plants were, but kept moving forward.
After circling the perimeter, the two of them walked down the slope along the path beside the stone fence.
Li Yuan spoke.
"I said before that I could choose a medicinal material to take away after waiting for a period of time. Can I choose it from inside the fence?"
Manager Wang stopped and turned around to look at him.
"Except for a few things that are close to Second-Order, and a few cherished things."
He rubbed his chin.
"Is there anything you need urgently?"
"I want that Foundation-Solidifying Grass."
Manager Wang raised his eyebrows.
"Foundation-Solidifying Grass?"
He tilted his head and thought for a while, his eyes scanning around Li Yuan.
"What do you want Foundation-Solidifying Grass to do, consolidate Qi and Blood?"
"Hmm."
"Okay." Manager Wang put his hands into his sleeves, his tone was not much different from that of buying cabbage.
"The quality of Foundation-Solidifying Grass, First-Tier Superior-Grade, if you buy it from outside, it will cost you forty or fifty yuan. Spirit Stone. Count it as forty yuan."
"If you wait until the rotation is over to pick it, it will be a reward. If you pick it up now, you will have to pay the price."
Li Yuan touched the storage bag.
There are not many Spirit Stone left. I spent a lot of money on Azure Cloud Talisman Brush and Fiend Detection Disk, and after adding daily expenses, I only have about ten Spirit Stone left in my bag.
"So casual?"
"What's wrong?" Manager Wang snorted and raised his chin towards Herb Garden.
"These medicinal herbs look good when left in the ground, but who knows how long they can last. He Family's Jade Essence Flower was snatched away a while ago, and the whole plant was uprooted. All the hard work of several years was wasted."
He patted Law Artifact on his waist.
"Rather than being picked up by the Li Family people one day, why not sell it to you garrison people to earn some Spirit Stone contribution. At least it will become a real combat force."
Li Yuan nodded.
"Spirit Stone is not enough. I have a lot of Talisman on hand. Can I get it?"
Manager Wang waved his hand.
"No need to bother. You are from the Talisman Hall, so you have Talisman Hall's contribution, right?"
"Yes."
"I'll send a report and ask you to use Talisman Hall to contribute."
Manager Wang stretched out his hand and made a vague stroke in the air, as if making a signature gesture.
"You don't owe much, do you?"
"No."
"That's no problem. But the process will take a few days. I'll give it to you after it's approved."
Manager Wang After finishing speaking, he turned around and continued downhill without slowing down.
That's how it's settled.
Li Yuan followed, and the two of them walked to the stone house down the slope.
Manager Wang pointed to the easternmost room.
"In the room you live in, the table is big enough, Talisman Making can use it."
Li Yuan pushed the door and went in to take a look. The stone house is not big, but the tabletop is spacious, with a wooden bed against the wall, and the window faces the direction of Herb Garden's gentle slope. There is a trace of Micro Spirit-Gathering Array in the corner, and the concentration of Spiritual Qi is slightly higher than outside the house.
Li Yuan puts the things in the storage bag away. Talisman Making materials are coded on the corner of the table, Azure Cloud Talisman Brush is placed on the pen holder, and Spirit Ink and Cinnabar are placed within easy reach.
Spread out Talisman Paper, dip in ink, and put pen to paper.
Fireball Talisman.
Azure Cloud Talisman Brush started with a steady hand, and the spiritual power transmission was almost not attenuated. The six paths Spirit Pattern were completed in one go, the heart of the talisman was gathered, and the red luster was deep and restrained.
It's done.
The second picture, the third picture, the fourth picture. Four finished pictures are produced in a row.
After finishing a batch of paintings, Li Yuan put down Talisman Brush, got up and left the stone house.
There is a small open space between the stone house and the wooden shed at the bottom of the slope. A few stones surround a simple stove. Two people squat on the edge of the open space, one is whittling a stick, and the other is leaning on the stone to eat dry food.
The person whittling the stick is Cultivator Zhou, in his early thirties, with a dark complexion, Qi Refining Fifth Layer. The person leaning on the stone is Cultivator Feng, about forty, tall and thin, Qi Refining, Fourth Layer, chewing dry food very slowly.
Li Yuan sat down on a stone at the edge of the clearing.
Cultivator Zhou raised his head and glanced at him.
"Where's the talisman?"
"I drew a batch."
"That's good, Talisman is very lacking here." Cultivator Zhou shaved off the last burr on the wooden stick and put it on the ground.
Cultivator Feng swallowed the mouthful of dry food in his mouth and continued in a hoarse voice.
"It's not just the lack of Talisman. Everything is lacking. Medicinal Pill stopped supplying it half a month ago. The little thing Alchemist, the practitioner on the slope, does by himself is enough for daily use. It won't be enough if he is really injured."
Li Yuan didn't answer, waiting for them to continue talking.
Cultivator Feng patted the crumbs of dry food from his hands and lowered his voice.
"These days, Li Family sends a group of people back to harass them from time to time without taking any action. When we rushed out, they had already run away."
"It's not just people." Cultivator Zhou added. "Demon Beast has also been here twice. They are all Low-grade First-Order's little things. There is no threat, but there should not be low-level Demon Beast near the spiritual veins before."
Cultivator Feng breathed out.
"I'm afraid when will the Li Family monk come?"
The tone of the two of them could not be said to be nervous, but more like a tired tone they were used to.
Li Yuan took out a piece of Monster Meat from the storage bag and baked it on the stove with Fire Control Art.
The aroma of meat filled the air. Cultivator Zhou smelled it and said nothing.
Li Yuan cut two pieces with the knife and gave them to the two of them. They thanked them and ate them directly.
After eating, Li Yuan returned to the stone house and continued Talisman Making.
In the next few days, Li Yuan gradually adapted to the rhythm of Herb Garden's garrison.
During most of the day, Talisman Making would go out and walk around the medicine gardens during the breaks to help check the growth of Spirit Herb. This was arranged by Manager Wang. Since he was stationed here, Spirit Farmer also had to learn a few basic skills.
Manager Wang teaches casually, just say whatever comes up.
When passing by a medicine garden, I bent down and pulled out a Spirit Herb plant. I pointed at the roots and said which shape means that Spiritual Qi has absorbed enough and which type means that Spirit Liquid needs to be supplemented. When passing by another piece of medicine, I pinched the soil and told Li Yuan that the hard soil was due to the uneven penetration of Spiritual Qi in the spiritual veins and that it needed to be loosened with Law Technique.
"The wood-type Law Technique was used to loosen the soil for Spirit Herb." Manager Wang squatted beside the medicine garden and pressed his palms down on the soil surface.
A trace of light green spiritual power seeped out from the palm of the hand and drilled down along the cracks in the soil. The soil slowly became soft under the penetration of spiritual power, and a few curled up thin roots slowly unfolded in the loose soil.
"Law Technique doesn't need to be very strong, it's enough just for walking in the door." Manager Wang took his hand back and patted the mud on his palm. "Spirit Farmer Wooden type for daily care Law Technique is called Root Cultivation Art, the most basic one. Pour a stream of Wood-Attribute Spirit Qi into the soil to help the roots of Spirit Herb spread out and loosen the soil."
He took out a thin roll of Bamboo Slip from his storage bag and threw it to Li Yuan.
"It's not difficult to go back and have a look."
Li Yuan caught Bamboo Slip, opened it and scanned it again.
The spiritual power running route of Root Cultivation Art is extremely simple. After converting the spiritual power in the body into the wood attribute, it is released from the palm and penetrates into the soil or plants. The conversion efficiency is not high, but the precision of the spiritual power is extremely low.
That night, Li Yuan followed the route on Bamboo Slip several times in the stone house.
The spiritual power is drawn from the Dantian and walks half a circle along a special conversion path. Just like Fire Element Law Technique needs to convert spiritual power into fire attributes, the wood attribute Law Technique also needs to convert attributes. However, the conversion path for wood attributes is shorter and simpler than that for fire attributes. It can be solved after walking three times.
Li Yuan turned his palm down, and a trace of light green spiritual power seeped out from between his fingers.
The spiritual power fell on the table, and a very light green layer appeared on the wooden table surface, which quickly dissipated.
The effect is extremely weak, but it is indeed wood attribute spiritual power.
[Law Technique: Root Cultivation Art-Entry Level(0/200)]
Entry Level.
Li Yuan Close Bamboo Slip and put it into the storage bag.
With the wood element Law Technique, we are one level closer to the five elements Law Technique.
Li Yuan cleaned the desktop, sat cross-legged on the bed, and started running Spirit Guiding Art.
The concentration of Spiritual Qi in Herb Garden is indeed higher than any other place we have stayed in before. The flow of Spiritual Qi when it enters the body is nearly half thicker than that in Fangshi Station. After Pure Spirit Power removes the impurities, the clean spiritual power condenses and sinks into the Dantian.
After walking for a week, the spiritual power settled in the Dantian was much more than when I practiced in Fangshi.
Cultivation is steadily moving forward.
The night outside the window is dark, and Herb Garden Array's cyan light curtain flows slowly in the distance. Occasionally, the night wind blows by, bringing with it a Spirit Herb astringent aura.
