Chapter 380: Spirit Rice, an Epoch-Making Crop

Ye Zan conducted genetic research on a large number of herbal medicines, and actually gained a lot. .. But these gains are far from enough to solve Yu Qingzong's urgent needs.

Although, Ye Zan still has another method that can greatly shorten the growth cycle of herbs, and that is to use the time increase of the jade ball space. However, the cost of doing that is too high, which is equivalent to directly increasing the cost of a herb by hundreds or thousands of times. If there is a small amount of supply, Ye Zan can still bear it through gritting his teeth, but the needs of Yu Qingzong can not be met by dozens or hundreds of herbs.

However, in the study of herbal medicine genes, Ye Zan discovered a gene fragment that converts the inert aura, which can convert the inert aura into an active aura that can be used by humans. This is actually not uncommon, just like plants can absorb nutrients in the soil and convert them into nutrients that can be absorbed by animals.

It can be said that all herbal medicines, no matter what type, have such gene fragments and the ability to transform inert aura. However, this ability is also strong and weak, and the more precious and rare herbs, the weaker this ability is, and the more common and common herbs, the stronger this ability is.

This is easy to understand. In addition to the extraordinary efficacy of precious and rare herbs, they often have very strict requirements on the growth environment. However, those common herbs often have good adaptability to the growing environment. This ability to convert inert aura is undoubtedly a manifestation of adaptability.

If so, wouldn't it mean that the weeds that can be seen everywhere on the roadside will have a stronger ability to transform inert aura? However, after Ye Zan collected several kinds of weeds for research, he did not find that the weeds had such abilities. After all, the growth of those herbs, even the most common ones, requires a certain amount of aura to nourish them, while weeds just grow wildly.

Ye Zan had no choice but to turn his attention back to the herbal medicine. Through a large amount of data comparison, he selected several herbal medicines with the strongest ability to transform inert aura. After that, after in-depth research on the genes of these several herbal medicines, the relevant gene fragments were intercepted.

So, with such a gene fragment, what is the use?

Could it be that by enhancing the ability of herbs, can the growth cycle of herbs be shortened?

That is obviously impossible!

The growth of herbal medicine does not rely solely on spiritual energy, not to mention the need to synthesize and transform various so-called "medicinal power" nutrients.

So, what is the use of this gene fragment for converting inert aura, or this ability, to Ye Zan?

At the beginning, Ye Zan really couldn't think of any use.

but,

After combining the current problems faced by Yu Qingzong, Ye Zan suddenly had an idea, why must he think about planting herbs to make alchemy?

You must know that the problem of Yu Qingzong now is not that all the herbs in the elixir are lacking. The elixirs that consume the most are just the elixirs that assist cultivation in various realms, such as Qi-nourishing pills in the Qi-refining realm, Condensing Yuan pills in the Foundation-building realm, and there may be gaps in the Yunling Pills in the Jindan realm in the future. To put it bluntly, in normal practice, ascetics cannot absorb enough active spiritual energy from the outside world, so they need to use pills to fill this deficiency.

Then, if there is a way to prevent the disciples of Yu Qingzong from lacking spiritual energy during the cultivation process, then naturally there is no need for the assistance of those pills.

For example, Ye Zan once built a quiet room with inert aura activation equipment for Wu Changsheng and others, which greatly reduced their dependence on pills.

However, the operation of that kind of activated equipment is not free, and it is not realistic to use it in large quantities. Moreover, Ye Zan did not hope that if the inert aura activation device was exposed, it would definitely cause trouble for himself and Yu Qingzong.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Ye Zan never thought about using this inert aura to activate the equipment to solve the current problem of Yu Qingzong.

However, this is not the only way to replenish aura. There is also the most common and most common method, which is also the easiest to be overlooked, and that is to eat aura. For example, some herbal spiritual fruits can be eaten directly, and can also replenish a certain amount of spiritual energy, but it is more wasteful. Also, eating the meat of monsters can also get a certain amount of aura from it, but it is more expensive.

However, if you eat the herbal spiritual fruit directly, you will also encounter the problem of the growth cycle of the herbal medicine. As for the meat of monsters, the problem is the same as that of herbal medicines. Monsters are not fat pigs that are slaughtered in a few months, and there are also restrictions on the growth cycle.

"Then, I need to find something that has no other superfluous effects, but can simply replenish aura. The key is that the growth cycle should be short!" Ye Zan muttered to himself while sitting on a chair, looking at the screen in front of him.

So, in today's Shenhua Domain, is there such a thing?

It seems that there is no.

Then create it!

Now that you know what you need, then according to your own requirements, create something that meets your requirements! Ye Zan stood up, came to the row of machines with flashing lights, and started the experiment again.

This time, Ye Zan's goal was no longer to shorten the growth cycle of those herbs, so he first chose a plant with a short growth cycle, the weeds on the roadside. Weeds don't have the ability to convert inert aura, so add the gene fragments in the herbs to the genes of the weeds.

Of course, the experiment is not so easy to succeed, in order to find plants that can truly integrate the inert aura conversion gene. Ye Zan tried a lot of weeds of various types, and finally found a plant that met the requirements, but found a new problem, which was the storage of the converted active aura.

It is so easy to genetically modify plants, even with mature transgenic technology. Repulsion and collapse, self-healing, mutual phagocytosis, all kinds of problems appear. When these problems are solved, new problems will appear in the process of plant growth. Fortunately, in this jade ball space, Ye Zan has been able to increase the time for partial entry, and save the waiting time for cultivation, so it can be fruited quickly.

After more than ten days of experiments, Ye Zan finally bred several plants that incorporate the inert aura conversion gene, and the growth cycle only takes three to six months. However, Ye Zan didn't have many smiles on the tufts of green grass in the tank. He found that he had overlooked a problem, and that was how to make people eat the grass. Moreover, due to the short growth cycle, there is not much aura in each green grass, so it needs to be eaten in large quantities to achieve the effect close to that of a elixir.

People are not cattle and sheep. These fresh and tender grasses may be delicacies in the eyes of cattle and sheep, but they are just a handful of grass in the eyes of humans.

"Hey, I made a mistake. I have considered so many issues, but I forgot this one." Ye Zan patted his forehead helplessly. Fortunately, after the previous experiments and accumulated experience in solving those problems, it is not very difficult to replace several plants.

As for what plant to replace, Ye Zan has already thought of it. Since it is for food, it is better to replace it with something that people usually eat, such as grains.

First is the rice. After a series of genetic modifications, a new type of rice appeared in Ye Zan's laboratory. After growing to maturity over time, the plants of this rice were taller and thicker than normal, and the ears of rice also swelled several times. times. But more importantly, this kind of rice exudes a faint spiritual energy fluctuation, which is incomparable to those weeds before, which shows that its spiritual energy content is already quite high.

Ye Zan gently pinched off a few grains of rice from the heavy ears of rice. The grains were also very large, nearly ten times larger than normal rice grains. Peel off the outer rice husk, revealing a grain of crystal clear and oily rice that looks like a white jade carving, exuding a faint and fresh rice fragrance. He directly threw the rice into his mouth, and with a light click of his teeth, he crushed the rice, and a wisp of spiritual energy and the fragrance of the rice immediately made up for it in his mouth.

Ye Zan nodded slightly, the aura of this rice is good, if it is really a daily meal, three meals a day can replenish a lot of aura. It's not perfect, though, because the stuff is bitter, and it's clearly not up to par in terms of taste.

Of course, the problem of taste is easy to solve, even if it can't be solved, what's the point of suffering for the sake of cultivation? Fortunately, after a series of adjustments, Ye Zan finally made the taste of rice more acceptable, instead of turning three meals a day into three meals a day.

Afterwards, Ye Zan began to breed in the Yuqiu space. After all, the demand for three meals a day is huge, and it really needs to be planted in a large area in the future.

In fact, there is another problem with this spiritual rice, which is genetic degradation. That is to say, after two or three generations of planting, the spiritual rice will lose the ability to transform the inert spiritual energy, and become ordinary rice again. However, Ye Zan didn't intend to solve this problem. Although it was not very difficult to solve it, why did he want to solve it?

Ye Zan could already imagine what a huge commotion it would cause when this kind of spiritual rice appeared in the Shenhua Domain. At that time, each sect will definitely try their best to get the seeds of this kind of spiritual rice, and plant them on a large area to replace the original pills that assist cultivation.

It's not that Ye Zan really wants to cherish himself, it's just that it's not an exaggeration to have a little advantage in the things he creates. If you just throw things out, others can use them without restriction, so who will think of you? Maybe, while eating lingmi with a bowl in their hands, they scolded Ye Zan and Yu Qingzong for being idiots.

Ye Zan himself didn't care much about fame, but Emperor Yuqing needed it. For a sect to develop, apart from its own strength, reputation is also very important. Take this time for example, why did Emperor Yu Qingzong hold a celebration? On the one hand, he showed his respect for the four great demon kings, but more importantly, it was for the sake of spreading his name. Only when your reputation is bigger and spread more widely, will there be more geniuses who are willing to travel across thousands of mountains and rivers to join you.

Therefore, Ye Zan didn't plan to hold the spiritual rice so that no one would know about it, nor did he intend to share any benefits with others, but the initiative must be held in his hands. Anyway, as long as they can get benefits, they will not rush to the disadvantage of Yu Qingzong. And the current Yu Qingzong is not the time to engage in sound transmission for thousands of miles. He has enough strength and qualifications to get the prestige he deserves.

Ye Zan put all the breeding tools in the summer secret realm, and at the same time opened up a large field in the secret realm to grow this spiritual rice on a large scale. Of course, apart from the Summer Time Secret Realm, Ye Zan will naturally not forget the small world of the Immortal Palace, which is the place that can really become the main production place.

It's just that Ye Zan is the only one who can go out freely in the small world of Immortal Palace, but this Xiashi Secret Realm is a place where the head teacher Wu Changsheng can come in and out. If Ye Zan had to leave the mountain for a long time in the future, and no one could enter the small world of the Immortal Palace, wouldn't the disciples of Yu Qingzong have to run out of food.

And after arranging the summer time secret realm, Ye Zan entered the fairy palace small world again, and it has been nearly twenty days since he left last time.

When he came to the small world of Immortal Palace, Ye Zan naturally wanted Wu Changsheng and the others to practice first. In the past twenty days, Wu Changsheng's progress was not slow, and they had already entered the underground labyrinth on the fourth floor. However, for his performance in the maze, if he wanted to get out of the underground maze, maybe another twenty days would not be enough.

"Why are you here again, kid?" Old Ta appeared next to Ye Zan.

"Old Ta, there's no need to embarrass them so much in this level." Ye Zan couldn't bear it anymore. But more importantly, he didn't feel that going through the maze would really have any training effect on Wu Changsheng and the others.

"What do you know? Wu Changsheng, as the current head teacher of Yuqingzong, if he doesn't even have the ability to lead people out of the maze, what qualifications do he have to be the head teacher? Why don't he just die in this maze?" Ta Lao said nothing He said angrily, as if he was already somewhat dissatisfied with Wu Changsheng's performance.

"What does walking the maze have to do with being a teacher..." Ye Zan said not seriously.

"Since you asked the old man to supervise them, then the old man must decide everything, otherwise you can hire someone else." Elder Ta interrupted Ye Zan and said unceremoniously.

"Uh... well, it's all up to you..." Ye Zan was quite helpless, and secretly said in his heart: I asked you to be on the sidelines, so as not to cause any accidents to them, they will become supervisors when they get to you! It's just that, facing the current Ta Lao, he couldn't say that. He could only suffer from Wu Changsheng and the others...

"What else is there for you to come here this time?" Ta Lao asked.

"It's nothing, I won't bother you to practice them, let's take a step first and say goodbye." Ye Zan said quickly, and escaped from Tongtian Tower as if he was running away. He was really afraid of that old man, so he would be counted in if there was a disagreement. After all, when he passed the underground labyrinth, he used cheating methods to get there.
