Chapter 217: Ripening Elixir
The two figures appeared in front of the wooden house, with a faint smile on Lin Mu's face.
Shitou's eyes were also full of joy and excitement.
He successfully refined the Golden Shadow Sword and the Golden Light Shield, and both the defense and attack power were far better than before.
Lin Mu successfully refined the Earth Shield, and the defense power was incomparable to before.
Now even a cultivator in the late stage of Lingji has almost no chance of breaking the defense of the Earth Shield.
The danger of being stabbed in the heart by a sword last time will never happen again.
With the current strength of the two, ordinary cultivators in the Spiritual Silence stage are no match at all!
At that time, Gu Yun relied on only a Fengyuan Sword to fight against four cultivators in the late stage of Lingji alone, which was extremely powerful.
The power of the top-grade magic weapon should not be underestimated!
The two now also have top-grade magic weapons, and their strength is no less than that of Gu Yun.
Lin Mu walked towards the spiritual field with joy in his eyes, and Shitou hurriedly followed from behind.
In the spiritual field, more than 20 mu of third-grade spiritual medicines have already sprouted roots and now have tender seedlings, which is very pleasing.
The two spent two months in the Xuanyue space, and only one month has passed outside.
In one month, if it were a first-grade spiritual herb, it would have been green.
The third-grade spiritual medicine is still just a seedling.
The maturity period is too long!
These more than 20 mu of spiritual fields are not enough for the five people to practice.
If they are allowed to grow on their own and wait slowly, they can only officially start practicing after the next spiritual medicine harvest.
This will take at least ten years!
For an alchemy master like Lin Mu, relying on pills, his cultivation progress cannot be much faster.
It is basically hopeless for ordinary people to condense a golden pill.
Lin Mu sighed secretly, then pinched his hands, and a huge white cloud with a radius of thirty feet suddenly formed.
The white cloud floated in the air, and Lin Mu pointed his hand, and the raindrops fell.
The sixth level of "Green Water Art" is used to make rain, and the effect is amazing.
The raindrops contain rich spiritual energy, which is very beneficial to the growth of spiritual medicine.
In less than half an hour, more than 20 acres of spiritual fields were all watered by Lin Mu.
The young spiritual medicine seedlings were nourished by the spiritual rain, and the green leaves stretched out, becoming more and more green.
Shitou stood quietly by the side. Seeing that Lin Mu had finished raining, he smiled and said, "The spiritual medicine is growing so well, and a good harvest is just around the corner."
Lin Mu turned around and smiled, "If we let it grow on its own, it will take several years to mature, which is too long."
Shitou smiled and said, "There are many trees on the island. We can use the plant essence beads to ripen the spiritual medicine, and the speed will definitely be many times faster."
Lin Mu smiled and nodded, "Although it is not easy to grow trees, it seems that there is no other way at the moment. We are in need of spiritual medicine seeds now, and this is the only way to get the first batch of spiritual herbs."
Shitou also nodded and said, "We just have to work hard to achieve the golden elixir. Although it is not easy for these trees to grow, they will eventually be used by people. We neither kill people to rob treasures nor rely on hunting monsters to obtain the inner elixir of monsters for cultivation. We just plant spiritual fields and are self-sufficient. We have done our best. Once we succeed in achieving the golden elixir, we will leave here. After thousands of years, new trees will naturally grow."
Lin Mu smiled and agreed, and walked into the forest.
Coming to a big tree, he suddenly activated his spiritual power and performed the "Art of Plants and Trees".
His ten fingers floated like a weave, phantoms appeared in clusters, and a green vortex formed in front of him.
Lin Mu's mind moved, and an inexplicable suction force came out of the vortex.
The big tree did not move at all, and dots of green light flew out of the tree and sank into the vortex.
The green vortex kept flowing, and the green light flew out of the tree like raindrops.
In a cup of tea, the life essence of the big tree was all absorbed by the joy, turned into powder, and fell to the ground.
Lin Mu stretched out his hand, the green vortex disappeared, and a green grass essence bead fell into Lin Mu's palm.
The thumb-sized green grass essence bead was still spinning in his palm.
Lin Mu smiled and came to a piece of water-condensing grass. He flicked his finger and the grass essence bead flew towards the water-condensing grass.
Points of green light spread out and sank into the water-condensing grass.
The rich essence of life quickly permeated the three-foot-square grass, and the water-condensing grass grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lin Mu was delighted and immediately continued to make plant essence beads.
Towering ancient trees died one by one, and spiritual herbs were quickly ripened.
The rotten trees and the prosperous spiritual medicine formed a sharp contrast.
More than 20 acres of third-grade spiritual medicine, Lin Mu made plant essence beads for a whole day before all of them ripened.
The spiritual medicine matured, and bursts of intoxicating medicinal fragrance filled the air, refreshing the heart.
The price paid was that more than 30 acres of towering ancient trees disappeared.
Lin Mu had no time to care about the towering ancient trees. He and Shitou quickly got busy and began to collect spiritual medicine.
Third-grade spiritual medicines are becoming more and more delicate, and they need to be collected carefully. If the roots and stems are slightly damaged, the efficacy will be greatly reduced.
Lin's father, Lin's mother, and Yun Meng all stopped practicing and came out to help collect.
It took the five of them a whole day to complete the collection.
After collecting the spiritual medicines, Lin Mu and Shitou prepared them into materials according to the five pill recipes.
Lin's father, mother and Yun Meng carefully collected the spiritual medicine seeds and collected them in different cloth bags according to categories.
The seeds of the third-grade spiritual medicines are becoming increasingly scarce. Each spiritual medicine plant only produces three to five seeds, or even only one or two.
After all the spiritual medicine seeds were collected, the number was also considerable, three times that of before!
On the island in the middle of the lake, after Lin Mu destroyed more than thirty acres of towering ancient trees, the number of spiritual fields had reached more than seventy acres.
These spiritual medicine seeds can be used to plant more than seventy acres of spiritual fields without much problem.
It took Lin Mu and Shitou a day to prepare all the spiritual medicines.
More than twenty acres of spiritual medicines, according to the five pill recipes, only one hundred and fifty materials were prepared for each pill.
One hundred and fifty!
This number is really too small!
Although the efficacy of the third-grade spiritual pill is several times better than that of the second-grade pill.
But with such a number, there is still a big gap to improve the cultivation quickly.
Lin Mu, his parents, and Shitou all practiced the "Five Elements Heart Method". In order to control the balance of the five elements in the body, they need to take five kinds of elixirs at the same time to achieve the maximum effect of each practice.
One hundred and fifty materials, even if all are made into elixirs, there are only seven or eight hundred bottles of five kinds of elixirs.
Even if the third-grade elixirs have excellent efficacy and are consumed slowly, if these materials are made into elixirs, they are only enough for one person to practice for one year.
Waiting for five years, the elixirs are only enough for one year!
Such a huge contrast is really a bit desperate.
During the long waiting time on weekdays, Lin Mu and Shitou can still practice on their own.
Lin's father and mother have no spiritual roots, and the effect of their practice is very poor. Without elixirs, it is difficult to move forward.
Now even if the spiritual field reaches more than 70 acres, it is only enough for one person to practice for about three or four years after harvesting once.
Unless all the land on the island is reclaimed into spiritual fields, more than 300 acres of spiritual fields are all planted with third-grade spiritual medicines.
Since Lin Mu and Shitou also spend a lot of time refining pills.
In this way, more than 300 acres of spiritual fields, harvested once, are enough for five people to practice for about five years.
Before the spiritual medicine grows and matures, the pills are enough for practice.
After the pills are consumed, the next batch of spiritual medicines are mature.
The number of pills and the growth time of spiritual medicines form a perfect match!
This is exactly what Lin Mu originally thought!
But now it seems that this is obviously unrealistic!
Qianyu Sword Sect will send fifty Qi Refining disciples to practice here.
Although their qualifications are not bad, if there is no sufficient Juling Pill, I am afraid that they will not be able to practice to the Foundation Establishment Stage in ten years.
For fifty people, Lin Mu must at least leave 200 acres of spiritual fields for them!
The remaining spiritual fields cannot meet the needs of five people's practice at all!
Lin Mu suddenly felt the pressure like a mountain, which was extremely difficult.
There is no other way at the moment, he can only take one step at a time and think of another way when the time comes.
He then joined his father and Shitou, and the three of them wielded the earth spirit hoe, and turned over more than 70 mu of spiritual fields and sowed seeds.
Seven or eight days later, tender yellow seedlings emerged from the seeds.
Lin Mu once again used the "Herbal Art" to make herbal essence beads and ripen the spiritual medicine.
More than 70 mu of spiritual medicine consumed more than 100 mu of towering ancient trees before they were all ripened.
To ripen these more than 70 mu of spiritual medicine, Lin Mu did not close his eyes for three days, and his ten fingers kept pinching the magic formula.
"Herbal Art" has extremely high requirements for finger skills. After three days, Lin Mu's fingers were extremely sore.
After harvesting this batch of spiritual medicine, the five people were busy collecting again.
This time the harvest was not bad, three times that of the last time!
Five kinds of elixirs, each of which prepared about 450 materials.
Added twice, it is already 600!
The harvest of spiritual medicine seeds was also good, and the amount was enough to plant 200 mu.
There are about 200 acres of spiritual fields on the island now, and more than half of the trees have been consumed!
Lin Mu looked at the 200 acres of empty spiritual fields and made a decision to continue planting!
Lin's father and Shitou naturally had no objection. The three of them waved the earth spirit hoe again and reclaimed the 200 acres of spiritual fields.
Reclaiming 200 acres of spiritual fields is not an easy job.
The three of them worked day and night for three days to reclaim the spiritual fields.
The three of them then sowed the seeds and irrigated them with rain.
After planting this batch of spiritual medicines, Lin Mu had a few days of leisure and took a good rest.
During this period, Lin Mu made a small amount of grass and wood essence beads to ripen the seven-star grass in the rotating moon space.
Twelve acres of seven-star grass are about to mature. Only one acre of towering ancient trees is consumed, and Lin Mu ripens them all.
Lin Mu brought Shitou and his father, and the three of them collected the seven-star grass together.
Twelve acres of Seven Star Grass, a total of more than 1,800 Seven Star Grass plants were harvested, which can produce about 800 Seven Star Paper.
Before, Lin Mu left behind 3,000 "Fire Bomb Talismans" and 2,000 "Explosive Flame Talismans".
This harvest can increase the number of "Explosive Flame Talismans".
With this support, plus the "Golden Stone Formation", it is difficult for ordinary people to capture the island in the middle of the lake, and Lin Mu can go to Qianyu Sword Gate with peace of mind.
Lin Mu also planted third-grade spiritual medicines on the twelve acres of spiritual fields in the Xuanyue Space.
A few days later, the two hundred acres of spiritual fields on the lake island also sprouted.
Lin Mu continued to make plant essence beads to ripen the spiritual medicines.
It was just two hundred acres of spiritual medicines, the quantity was too much.
Lin Mu used up all the trees on the island, but still failed to ripen this batch of spiritual medicines.
But the spiritual medicines were not far from maturity, and they would be mature in less than two months.
After a few days of busy work, all the trees died, and the island was once again vacant with two hundred acres of spiritual fields.
Together with the two hundred acres of spiritual fields planted with spiritual medicines, the total was four hundred acres!
Four hundred acres of spiritual fields!
Lin Mu was very comforted by such a number.
After doing all this, the busyness stopped.
But Lin Mu did not have time to spare, Elder Luo Yan urged him to rush to Qianyu Sword Gate immediately.
During this period, Lin's father planned to slowly cultivate the newly added two hundred acres of spiritual fields.
Lin's mother and Yunmeng were also busy, preparing to make the "Explosive Flame Talisman".
Lin Mu said goodbye to his parents and Yunmeng, and left in a hurry with the stone.
