Chapter 209: Living People Raising Medicine

After dinner, the sun had already set, leaving only the afterglow illuminating the earth.

Song Wen did not return to his residence, but pretended to take a walk to digest his food and headed west of Qingping Mountain.

There is a spiritual field of hundreds of acres west of Qingping Mountain, where most of the spiritual medicines produced by the Su family come from.

Song Wen has been at the Su family for more than half a month, and has never been to the spiritual field.

Perhaps for safety reasons, the Su family located the spiritual field at the foot of Qingping Mountain.

Among the undulating mountains around, there is a flat plot of nearly a thousand acres. The existence of the spiritual field seems a bit abrupt.

On the edges of the spiritual field, there are stone towers, and there are figures swaying on the towers. They are the guards of the Su family stationed in the spiritual field.

Song Wen stood by a small pond a few miles away from the spiritual field, looking up, as if he was admiring the sunset. In fact, all six holy armor Gu had been sent out by him.

With the help of the Holy Armor Gu, Song Wen had a panoramic view of the entire spiritual field.

The spiritual field is said to have hundreds of acres of land, but in fact it is only a plot of land less than two miles in radius.

Even though it is several miles away, the entire spiritual field is within the range of Song Wen's spiritual sense.

In the center of the spiritual field, there is a row of low wooden houses. The houses are a bit old and look like the houses used by farmers for temporary rest in the fields.

There are ten low houses in total, and in four of them, there is a foundation-building cultivator hiding in them, sitting cross-legged in meditation.

One is in the late foundation-building stage, two are in the middle foundation-building stage, and one is in the early foundation-building stage.

These four people are the real force to protect the spiritual field, and the guards on the outer high towers are more of a warning.

As for this row of old wooden houses, they are used to cover up the truth. If a thief sneaks into the spiritual field, it is easy to be confused by the old appearance of the wooden houses, thinking that there is no danger in them, and relax their vigilance against the wooden houses. In fact, the real danger is hidden in them.

The spiritual field is adjacent to Qingping Mountain, and the Su family still sent four foundation-building monks to guard it for a long time, which is enough to show that the Su family attaches great importance to the spiritual field.

The Holy Armor Gu also found that a cliff of 100 meters high was cut out by humans on the Qingping Mountain next to the spiritual field.

On the cliff, there are more than ten neatly arranged caves of 10 meters high.

At the entrance of each cave, there is a formation protection, which makes it impossible for people to detect everything in the cave.

Although the spiritual consciousness cannot penetrate into the cave, Song Wen still keenly noticed that there was a faint corpse gas at the entrance of the cave.

There is a formation isolation, and there is still corpse gas, which can only mean that the formation is often opened, and the corpse gas is leaked when the formation is opened.

Leaving two Holy Armor Gu lying on the stone wall outside the cave to monitor the cave, Song Wen turned and went to his residence.

The melon field and the plum tree.

Although this place is still several miles away from the spiritual field, it is inevitable to arouse suspicion if you stay for a long time.

Around midnight, one of the Holy Armor Gu returned to Song Wen's residence.

The Holy Armor Gu told Song Wen that the formation barrier of the cave had disappeared.

Because the distance from the spiritual field to the residence was nearly twenty miles, it was beyond the range of spiritual awareness. The Holy Armor Gu could only run once and come back to report the news, while the other Holy Armor Gu took the opportunity to climb into the cave.

Song Wen, who got the news, took advantage of the night to leave his residence and head towards the spiritual field.

When he was a few miles away from the spiritual field, in front of a dense forest, Song Wen suddenly stopped.

He suddenly remembered that Su Shan had mentioned that there were many formations hidden in the dense forest on Qingping Mountain to trap and kill enemies. Once they fell into it, even if they were not killed by the formation, they would expose their whereabouts and attract the Su family monks.

There are formations hidden in the dense forest on Qingping Mountain, and there are probably formations hidden in the dense forest around the spiritual field.

And if you fly directly over the dense forest, you will definitely not escape the sight of the guards on the high tower at the edge of the spiritual field.

The dense forest is definitely not allowed to enter.

Then he could only find a place to hide and use the Holy Armor Gu to find out everything in the cave.

Song Wen looked around and his eyes fell on the small pond he had been to in the evening.

The water in the pond was not deep, only less than three meters, but it was enough to hide his body.

Song Wen sank into the pond and sensed everything in the cave through the Holy Armor Gu in the cave.

At this time, the formation at the entrance of the cave was not reopened, and the entrance was still open.

After walking a hundred meters along the entrance, a huge cave of more than ten acres appeared in front of him.

On the ground in the cave, there was a very faint fluorescent light.

If you look closely, you can see that these fluorescent lights are emitted from some palm-sized Ganoderma lucidum.

And these Ganoderma lucidum do not grow on the ground, but on human heads.

Under each Ganoderma lucidum, there is a complete human corpse, and these Ganoderma lucidum grow in the left eye socket of the corpse.

These Ganoderma lucidum are exactly the Huangjingzhi that Song Wen has been looking for.

The corpse gas that Song Wen found at the entrance of the cave was emitted from these corpses, and at the same time, there was a foul smell of rotting meat.

The degree of decay of each corpse was different. Some could still see black and rotten flesh, while some were only bones.

In the abdominal cavity of those bones, there was a bowl-sized, not yet fully formed baby skeleton.

These corpses used to grow Huangjingzhi were all pregnant women!

The Huangjingzhi parasitized on the corpses were also of different ages.

The age of Huangjingzhi was not determined by size, but by color.

The newly born Polygonatum odoratum is beige. As the age of the medicine increases, the color will gradually deepen from beige to yellow-brown. At this time, the Polygonatum odoratum has been a medicine for ten years and can be used as a spiritual medicine to refine pills.

As the age of the medicine continues to grow, the yellow-brown color turns into dark brown, then dark red, and finally grows into ink black, which is the color of medicines over a thousand years old.

There are more than a thousand Polygonatum odoratum in the cave, but the age of the medicine is generally not high, that is, between ten to thirty or forty years.

Considering that these Polygonatum odoratum are carefully cultivated by the Su family, the age of the medicine must be longer than the actual growth years, that is to say, the Su family has planted these Polygonatum odoratum in the last ten years.

Moreover, Song Wen also found that these Polygonatum odoratum and the three he got from the mustache are not exactly the same.

These Polygonatum odoratum carry a strange vitality, which is not found in other ordinary Polygonatum odoratum.

This vitality is like the vitality between heaven and earth when the sun rises, full of vitality. It was like the first bud that broke through the frozen soil in early spring, full of vitality.

In the cave, there were six Su family monks in the late stage of Qi training, performing the Qingfeng technique in various corners of the cave.

A breeze blew in the cave, dispelling the corpse gas and stench in the cave, and introducing the fresh and clean air outside into the cave.

Seeing this, Song Wen understood the purpose of the more than ten holes on the cliff, which was to ventilate the cave.

Huangjingzhi parasitizes on human corpses, but it cannot withstand the long-term infiltration of corpse gas, otherwise it will rot and wither.

About a quarter of an hour later, the turbid and rotten air in the cave was completely replaced by fresh and clean air, and the six monks stopped casting spells.

They began to check the growth of Huangjingzhi one by one.

One of them used spiritual power to lift a weathered skeleton. His movements were very slow, as if he was afraid of accidentally breaking the fragile skeleton.

Of course, he was not worried about breaking the skeleton, but about damaging the Polygonatum odoratum parasitic on the skeleton.

The Polygonatum odoratum parasitic on this skeleton was about 20 years old.

The roots of the Polygonatum odoratum were connected to many white hyphae, which were like the roots of vines, extremely developed and intertwined, tightly coiling around the entire skeleton, as if to squeeze out the last bit of nutrients in the skeleton.
