Chapter 1559 The Elixir of Life
Looking at the hoe under his feet, Ye Feng stood there dumbly with a look of astonishment on his face.
Without even saying hello or asking yourself, you just leave the elixir garden to your own care. Aren't you afraid that you will kill all these elixirs?
There is no time to think about it, so I will take care of the elixir first. As for the others, I will consider them later. Three thousand fairy crystals are a huge resource.
He picked up the hoe and walked back and forth in the medicine garden. When he came across the elixir with ten thousand years of ingredients, Ye Feng's eyes turned green.
However, Ye Feng discovered a strange phenomenon. These elixirs were all wilted and listless, and the spiritual energy inside seemed to be blocked.
Squatting down, Ye Feng looked at the Kirin flower in front of him. This elixir contains the spirit of Kirin, and it has grown for about ten thousand years. It is definitely a treasure. However, no one dares to steal it here, which is true. Abnormal.
His spiritual consciousness penetrated into the unicorn flower bit by bit and peeled off bit by bit. Whether it was branches or leaves, Ye Feng could not find any problem. However, these elixirs were listless and the spiritual energy inside was gradually disappearing.
Although someone has blocked the disappearance speed of spiritual energy, it is not a solution if it continues like this.
But soon, Ye Feng's eyes narrowed. He found something different at the root of this unicorn flower, but he couldn't tell. He always felt that there was something wrong with the soil at the root of the unicorn flower.
"Earth generates metal, metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, and fire generates earth!"
This is a cycle of the five elements, which is endless. As long as there is the power of the five elements, the heaven and earth can continue to move and form a regular order.
"I understand. The soil lacks the power of gold. Instead, it has been watered forcibly. As a result, the power of gold is getting less and less. Therefore, the elixir looks wilted."
When the soil is out of balance, no matter how good the elixir is planted, the harvest will not be very good. The soil seems to have been modified by someone to become what it is now.
If you directly add the power of gold, it will definitely not work. The powerful power of golden sharpness will quickly corrode the elixir, even damage the roots, and directly destroy the elixir.
It is estimated that others have discovered such a mentally retarded problem, but they cannot change the composition of the soil and can only abandon it.
For example, even if someone knows that the power of sharp gold among the five elements is lacking, and takes out some sharp gold materials, crushes them, and sprinkles them into the soil, this will not only fail to slow down the growth of the elixir, but will actually aggravate it.
Because the power of sharp gold is very sharp, if it is spread like this, it will definitely destroy the roots of the elixir. Even for hundreds of years, the power of sharp gold will not disappear. This elixir garden will be completely deserted in less than a year.
"What if the power of the five elements is used together?"
Ye Feng dragged his chin. If the power of the five elements were used together, wouldn't it be a perfect cycle that could transform the soil here without destroying the roots of the elixir?
But Ye Feng didn't act rashly. If he made a mistake, it would be a destructive elixir. He had to think twice before doing anything.
If you find a century-old elixir area, even if one plant is lost, Ye Feng can still afford to pay for it. If the elixir with ingredients that lasts for ten thousand years is destroyed and sold to Ye Feng, you can't afford it now.
Squatting down, Ye Feng stretched out his index finger, and the power of the five elements began to operate in his body. Whether it was the power of sharp gold, the power of earth, the power of water, the power of wood, or the power of fire, they were all very gentle and turned into one. A mass of invisible material seeped into the ground bit by bit.
Even if it's just a little bit, Ye Feng is cautious, for fear of destroying the medicinal properties of the elixir. For cultivators, elixirs are very important. For example, the elixirs that Ye Feng swallows are all extracted from elixirs.
It can be imagined how helpful a pill is to a warrior. If it were not for the top grade pill, it would probably take Ye Feng several months to break through.
The consciousness did not dare to relax for a moment, and followed the power of the five elements released by him, seeping into the ground bit by bit. After the invisible force entered the root of the elixir, it was instantly absorbed by the elixir.
Strange things happened,
The elixir that was originally wilted suddenly became full of vitality, as if it had been given a new life. The flowers became more brilliant, the leaves became emerald green, and bursts of fragrance were released from the elixir.
"It really works!"
Ye Feng showed a satisfied smile, feeling a sense of accomplishment. Helping others was sometimes helping himself. Besides, he had nothing to lose and could still practice the power of the Five Elements.
Because when Ye Feng used it, he quietly stole some of the ingredients in the elixir from its roots and absorbed it into his body.
Although there is only a small amount, Ye Feng can't absorb it all in such a large medicine garden even if he is given ten days. Especially for elixirs with ingredients that last ten thousand years, absorbing even a tiny bit of it is better than ordinary elixirs.
This is dozens of times more powerful than Ye Feng sitting down and practicing. Moreover, the elixir does not have any impurities, swallowing the immortal energy, and there are impurities mixed in it that need to be purified.
"Okay, with such a medicinal garden, I'm sure I can reach the peak of the sixth-grade Heavenly Immortal."
Ye Feng was full of confidence. As he reached the later stage, his cultivation became slower and slower, and the resources required were even more terrifying. Otherwise, Ye Feng would not take the initiative to do the tasks.
The purpose is to earn resources. This is still the sixth level, and the resources needed are so terrifying. If it reaches the seventh, eighth, or ninth level, it will not be as simple as one plus one, but may be an increase of ten times or a hundred times.
Without hesitation, Ye Feng absorbed the elixirs one by one, and the withered elixirs began to take on new life.
It wasn't until sunset that Ye Feng completed about one-tenth of the area. The elixir in this one-tenth area had completely different feelings from the other areas. One side was full of vitality, and the other side was lifeless.
"yawn……"
A yawn came from the thatched hut. The old man who had slept for a day stretched out and walked out of the thatched hut, still drinking wine.
Suddenly, the old man's sleepy eyes emitted a gleam of light, and his body instantly disappeared from the spot and appeared beside Ye Feng.
"Did you prepare all these spiritual medicines?"
The old man was no longer as lazy as before. He was completely changed. He became like a powerful god. His big hand was on Ye Feng's shoulder, and the latter's body was almost crushed.
"Senior, take your hand back first!"
The big hand on Ye Feng's shoulder was like a clamp, and it felt like a huge mountain pressing on Ye Feng's body. If Ye Feng's body was not strong, it is estimated that Ye Feng would have to lie down for several days.
The old man felt that he had lost his composure. He was an eighth-grade immortal king and could kill a sixth-grade celestial immortal in one breath.
"Boy, what's wrong with these spiritual medicines?"
The old man is Elder Yong of the Dragon Talisman Sect. Ninety percent of the spiritual medicines in the sect are supplied by Elder Yong, who is also responsible for refining pills. Since the incident in the spiritual medicine garden, the sect has been unable to supply pills.
"That junior doesn't know either!"
Ye Feng was vague, and he couldn't tell the specific situation, just relying on his own feelings.
But Elder Yong saw it clearly just now. Ye Feng sent something into the soil, and the spiritual medicine changed.
"Did you inject something into the soil?"
Elder Yong still had some doubts, fearing that these spiritual medicines were just a flash in the pan, otherwise they would all die soon.
"Yeah!"
Ye Feng nodded, and indeed sent the modified five elements.
"Then send it again!"
Just now, it was quite far away, and Elder Yong didn't see it very clearly. Now in front of him, let Ye Feng perform it again.
Ye Feng had a bitter face. Helplessly, he had to squat down and transfer a trace of the five elements to a drooping spiritual medicine, but this time Ye Feng did not extract spiritual energy from it.
Soon, the spiritual medicine instantly rejuvenated, as if it was injected with new energy, and powerful spiritual energy emanated from the spiritual medicine.
"You actually know the power of the five elements!"
Elder Yong couldn't believe it. There were too few people who knew the power of the five elements. If they knew three or even four, he could find them, but there was not a single person who knew the power of the five elements in the entire Longfu Sect.
Otherwise, he would have been caught by Elder Yong long ago. It was precisely because he couldn't find them that he couldn't find a solution.
Ye Feng nodded and didn't deny it. In front of an immortal king, it was estimated that nothing could be concealed.
"Okay, okay, it's really God's help. Little friend, what's your name?"
Elder Yong didn't have any airs. It seemed that he was not very familiar with Ye Feng. He actually treated Ye Feng as an equal.
"Junior Ye Feng, meet the elder!"
Ye Feng bowed. When he came during the day, Elder Yong sent him away without even opening his eyelids. He changed his face too quickly.
"I don't like to be shy. Just call me Brother Yong from now on. This medicine garden will be handed over to you to take care of. You can collect ten spiritual herbs for your use every month. As for the reward, you are still indispensable, but you must plant them in time after collecting."
Elder Yong forced Ye Feng to stay in the spiritual medicine garden to take care of it regardless of whether Ye Feng agreed or not.
You can even collect ten spiritual herbs for your own use every month. Although they are hundred-year-old ingredients, they are also worth a lot!
"That senior...Brother Yong, but I have my own things to do!"
Ye Feng was very upset. He only wanted to take care of it for ten days and then leave Longfumen. He didn't want to take care of the spiritual medicine garden for a lifetime.
"I'll let you take care of the medicine garden, but I won't restrict your activities. You don't need to water the spiritual medicine every day. Just let it grow normally. You can do whatever you need to do."
Elder Yong finally caught a genius who could revive the spiritual medicine. How could he give up easily? So he used the spiritual medicine as a temptation.
Such a large spiritual medicine garden has detailed records from one year to ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, and ten thousand years. If it were an ordinary person, Elder Yong would really not believe it.
Through the demonstration just now, he completely believed in Ye Feng and was capable of taking care of the spiritual medicine garden very well.
"Then I'd rather obey than be respectful!"
It seems that for the sake of the spiritual medicine, Ye Feng still agreed. Such a large spiritual medicine field is his own back garden, and he can extract the essence of the spiritual medicine every day.
Although Ye Feng looked reluctant on the surface, he was smiling in his heart.
"Okay, since the problem of the spiritual medicine has been solved, I will be in seclusion to refine the elixir for a while, and this medicine garden will be handed over to you."
During this period, Elder Yong tried every way for the spiritual medicine, and finally he could go to refine the elixir with peace of mind.
