Time flew by and half a month passed. In the early morning, Xu Ziqing held a thick book of "The Secret Book of the King of Medicine" and walked to a flat bluestone, sat down and studied it carefully.

This is the third book he has read. The first two have been memorized by him during this period. Fortunately, his memory is good now, otherwise, he may not be able to chew through the tome, which often has thousands of pages.

Come down.

Old Man He went to take care of the spiritual grass early, leaving him to study hard here alone. Xu Ziqing was also used to it, turning over page after page, quickly memorizing the habits, growth environment, appearance, medicinal properties, and many other effects of the spiritual grass.

Next. Repeat silently and keep it in mind.

Over the past few days, Xu Ziqing has understood the way Manager He behaves. He may seem unkempt, but his love for spiritual herbs is extremely sincere. Therefore, after Xu Ziqing came to Baicao Garden, he was asked to learn how to identify spiritual herbs and understand them first.

He was not taught any knowledge about spiritual grasses, nor any techniques.

Xu Ziqing has a calm and calm temperament, and he has always loved flowers and plants. Now that he has seen so many strange things, he is so happy that he does not need to say anything to the steward. He just holds those thick ancient books day and night and refuses to let go. What other kind of fairy fate is there?

, all kinds of spiritual practice have been forgotten.

About half an hour later, Xu Ziqing reluctantly put down the book and stretched his body.

Old Man He got up at the same time, and spent an hour in the middle to tend to the spiritual herbs. During this time, Xu Ziqing carried out the first round of reciting ancient books. At that time, Xu Ziqing was going to make some morning food and send them to Old Man He. If Old Man He

When he was in a good mood, he showed him how to identify several kinds of spiritual herbs. Naturally, he had to take note of them carefully.

After that, Xu Ziqing was driven back and continued to recite. He prepared lunch at noon, then washed the dishes and swept for an hour, then recited, prepared dinner, washed the clothes of the two of them, and continued to recite until the old man He fell asleep at that time.

Also slept.

After a day like this, there are always six or seven hours of endorsements, which must be very boring. However, Xu Ziqing's interest is not boring, but he enjoys it, and feels that there are too few hours in a day.

Old Man He saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

As usual, I made the morning meal, which was a pot of rice porridge mixed with fragrant leaves. It was fresh, soft, and delicious. Xu Ziqing packed two bamboo tubes and took them through the path to the medicine garden ahead.

The stream in the middle is still flowing gurglingly, and the sound of the water is very pleasant. Xu Ziqing has been here for a long time, and he can also observe that the terrain on both sides of the stream is not the same.

After Old Man He explained it to Xu Ziqing, he understood that it turns out that all kinds of spiritual grasses have different personalities. Some like heights, and some are afraid of heights; some love light, and some hate light; some prefer moisture, and some prefer dryness. To be able to keep it dry,

To make the spiritual herbs comfortable, they must conform to their temperament, otherwise they will either fail to survive or be of poor quality. Over time, people from the clan will come to seek bad luck for them.

Xu Ziqing listened humbly and just memorized it. He also thought about taking notes, but Old Man He didn't allow it. Thinking about it, what you need to learn must be chewed thoroughly and swallowed before you can apply it. Otherwise, when it comes to real

When you do it, it will still be a mess.

It still took a long time, so Xu Ziqing was not in a hurry and just learned slowly. When Old He felt that he could get started, he would just do what Old He asked.

Old Man He was squatting in front of a flower bed, fiddling with something with his hands. Xu Ziqing quietly walked over and squatted next to him silently.

For many days, Xu Ziqing knew that Old Man He would not bother him following his example.

Today, old man He is removing the weeds associated with the golden grass. He is seen gently caressing the root of the golden grass with his left hand, then pushing it aside very slowly, and holding a thin silver needle in his right hand.

, gently pick up a hair-thin grass stem where it is exposed outside the soil and close to the roots, shake the back of your hand, and let the grass stem fall into the porcelain bowl next to it.

Xu Ziqing recognizes the spiritual grass Golden Silk Grass. This grass is a perennial herb that likes more light and takes root in moist and watery places. According to the "Lingcao Illustrated Book", the place where Golden Silk Grass is located is 100 meters away.

There must be a source of water within.

After this kind of spiritual grass is planted, it will take about a hundred days for the first blade of grass to grow, and a hundred days for the second blade to grow. Repeat this process, and after ten blades of grass have grown, the grass will be one foot tall and the leaves will grow.

It will no longer increase. There is a white thread in the middle of the grass blade that grows, running through it.

The entire blade. As the years go by, the white threads will also transform into golden threads. Just one golden thread grass, and not all ten grass blades may have that golden thread. Usually three-leaf golden thread grass is the most common, and ten-leaf golden thread grass is equivalent to the legendary golden thread.

Things have happened and cannot be seen easily.

Golden silk grass is not delicate and difficult to grow, but it is a rare spiritual grass. Why do you know? Because since it emerges from the ground, it often attracts the accompanying golden grass.

The golden grass has no aura at all. If it were not a companion of the golden grass, it would be a weed that would not attract the attention of any monk. But since it is a companion of the golden grass, it is also the nemesis of the golden grass.

It is important to know that golden grass leaves are one of the medicinal materials required for the Foundation Establishment Pill. However, the formation of golden grass leaves must be inhibited by melakin grass. I don’t know why, but golden grass is harmful to

That golden grass can be said to be completely obedient.

I dedicate all my spiritual energy and nourishment just so that the melachina can grow prosperously. Therefore, once the melachina is unearthed, the white threads that were already turning into gold will change back again and will never be formed again.

There are new golden grass leaves.

Therefore, one of the most important tasks in cultivating golden grass is to always observe its roots to see if any golden grass is causing trouble. Once you find any sprouts emerging, you must use a silver needle to pick them out and throw them away, so that the golden grass can grow.

The grass continues to grow golden leaves.

Old Man He moved skillfully and quickly picked out a dozen golden grasses. Xu Ziqing was so mesmerized by the sight that he even forgot the purpose of coming here.

After half an hour, Old Man He finished his work and wiped the sweat from his forehead, only to realize that someone was coming next to him. When he turned around, he saw that it was the new handyman.

Xu Ziqing also came to his senses and apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, Steward He, I was so fascinated by it for a moment." As he said this, he offered the bamboo tube, "This is the porridge cooked by the juniors. Please don't dislike it, Steward He."

Old Man He took it, opened the lid of the tube, took a sip, and said, "Have you understood anything after looking at it for so long?"

Xu Ziqing smiled: "I am ignorant, I only see that you, Mr. He, are removing the golden grass."

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Old He's eyes: "It seems that you have indeed read those books carefully."

Xu Ziqing said: "Managing things is for the sake of the younger generation, so the younger generation should naturally treat them sincerely. Furthermore, the vast amount of information recorded in those books is really beneficial to people."

Old Man He drank the rest of the porridge in one gulp and nodded: "You will follow me before noon today."

Xu Ziqing was overjoyed. This was the first time that Old Man He asked him to follow him. In other words, he was determined to teach him. After being reassured, Xu Ziqing calmly agreed: "Yes, Manager He."

There is naturally a big difference between someone giving guidance and having no guidance. Old He is very knowledgeable and knows all kinds of spiritual herbs. Even Xu Ziqing is also familiar with the properties of many spiritual herbs, but he still has some troubles when Old He is messing with him.

Come on. This is due to lack of experience.

Old Man He did not just do it by himself and let Xu Ziqing watch it as before. Instead, he would explain the key points to him while doing things. In this way, he would teach and learn one by one, and time would fly by.

While Old Man He was cultivating the soil for a dragon's claw flower, he suddenly frowned and stopped.

Xu Ziqing was startled: "Congratulations, steward?"

Old Man He said: "A few people with signboards are here. Go and entertain them."

Xu Ziqing naturally agreed.

But I heard Old Man He say again: "Don't be too polite, just bring the person to me."

Xu Ziqing didn't quite understand, so he just followed Old Man He's words and turned around and walked outside. But when he reached the door of the medicine garden, he immediately understood.

On the dirt road entering the medicine garden, there were several men and women of good temperament standing there.

The most eye-catching one among them is a woman in purple, with a high bun and a slender figure. Her whole person has an aura of pride. Xu Ziqing can't see her appearance clearly from a distance, but just looking at the outline, she is extremely beautiful.

.

When Xu Ziqing got closer, he saw three other men beside the woman. One of them was also very noble in his clothing. His eyebrows and eyes were as arrogant as the woman in purple. However, when he spoke to the woman, he seemed cordial. He should have the same identity as the woman.

They are also similar. The other two are wearing similar yellow shirts, following behind them, with very fawning expressions.

When those people saw Xu Ziqing approaching, one of the men in yellow shirt shouted: "You servant, how dare you swallow so slowly when you see the eldest lady coming here!"

Another man in yellow shirt also said: "You must be punished for being so negligent!"

When Xu Ziqing heard what he said before, he felt that although it was not pleasant to hear, he was indeed not thoughtful at all. However, when he heard the person behind him speaking, he inevitably frowned. He had just arrived and had never learned any tricks or footwork.

Although he was unhappy, he walked as fast as he could, so why did he ask for punishment? This kind of behavior is too arrogant.

Before Xu Ziqing could reply, the man with arrogant features spoke first: "Sister Zitang, I got a low-grade magic weapon a few days ago. It looks pretty good. Why don't I give it to my sister to play with first." He touched it in his sleeve while he was talking.

Touch it and take out a long purple whip. The whip has nine sections, each section is about one foot long, and is embedded with nine purple orbs. The brilliance of the whip body is flowing, and it looks like a good thing.

The woman named "Zitang" also looked slightly moved. With her eyesight, she naturally saw that the whip was good, so she took it and said: "Mr. Tian, ​​if I am not mistaken, this whip is probably a low-grade magical weapon."

Compared with the peak level magic weapon, it is only a hair away."

Mr. Na Tian smiled and said: "As long as sister Zitang likes it, not to mention that it is just the pinnacle of a low-grade magic weapon, but it is really a mid-grade magic weapon, and I am willing to give it to my sister."

Xu Zitang smiled a little, and when he played with the nine-section whip, he looked very fond of it: "What is it called?"

Mr. Tian said: "This whip is called 'Zihua', which matches my sister perfectly." He then smiled and said, "It just so happens that this handyman offended my sister, why not give him a test of the whip, which can be regarded as a small punishment but a big warning?"
