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 couldn't hide the joy, and he was inexplicably excited.
He successfully sacrificed the Alchemy Shadow Sword and Golden Light Shield, and both his defense and attack power were far better than before.
Lin Mu's sacrifice of refining the earth and the shield was successful, and his defense power was not the same as before.
Now, even those who are cultivators in the late stage of Lingji have almost no chance of breaking through the Earth Lin Shield defense.
The danger of being stabbed in the heart by a sword last time will never happen again.
With the current strength of the two of them, ordinary cultivators in the spiritual silence stage are no match at all!
Back then, Guyun was able to fight against four late-stage cultivators of Lingji alone with just one Feng Yuan Sword, and he was extremely powerful.
The power of the best magic weapon cannot be underestimated!
Both of them are now equipped with top-grade magic weapons, and their strength is not inferior to that of Gu Yun.
Lin Mu walked towards Lingtian with joy in his eyes, Shitou followed quickly.
In the spiritual field, more than 20 acres of third-grade elixirs have taken root and sprouted, and now they are growing green seedlings, which is extremely gratifying.
The two of them spent two months in the spiral moon space, and only one month had passed outside.
In one month, if it were a first-grade spiritual grass, it would be green by now.
The third-grade elixir is only a seedling until now.
The maturity period is too long!
These more than twenty acres of spiritual land are simply not enough for five people to practice.
If you let it grow on its own and wait slowly, at least until the next time you harvest the elixir, you can officially start practicing.
This time, it will take at least ten years!
An alchemy master like Lin Mu couldn't advance much faster just by relying on elixirs.
It is basically hopeless for ordinary people to condense the golden elixir.
Lin Mu sighed secretly, and then made a hand seal with his hands, and a huge white cloud with a radius of thirty feet suddenly formed.
White clouds were floating in the sky. Lin Mu stretched out his hand, and raindrops began to fall.
The "Blue Water Jue" on the sixth floor is used to bring rain, and the effect is amazing.
The flowing rain contains rich spiritual energy, which is of great benefit to the growth of elixirs.
In less than half an hour, more than twenty acres of spiritual fields were watered by Lin Mu.
The elixir seedlings are moistened by the rainwater containing spiritual energy, and their tender leaves unfold and become more and more green.
Shitou stood aside quietly. Seeing Lin Mu finish applying the rain, Shitou said with a smile: "The elixir is growing so gratifyingly, 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. You can use the plant essence beads to ripen the elixir. The speed will definitely be many times faster."
Lin Mu smiled and nodded: "Although it is difficult for trees to grow when fishing in the marsh, it seems that there is no other way but this way. We are in need of elixir seeds now, and this is the only way to use this first batch of elixirs. "
Shitou also nodded and said: "Let's just work hard to attack the golden elixir. Although this tree is not easy to grow, it will eventually be used by people. We neither kill people to seize treasures, nor rely on hunting monsters to obtain the inner elixir of monsters for cultivation. We just plant spiritual fields to be self-sufficient." Self-satisfaction is the ultimate benevolence. Once we succeed in attacking the golden elixir, we will leave here, and new trees will naturally grow after thousands of years."
Lin Mu agreed with a smile and walked towards the forest.
When he came to a big tree, he suddenly activated his spiritual power and used the "Grass and Trees Technique".
The fingers floated like weaving, phantoms clustered, and an emerald green vortex formed in front of him.
Lin Mu thought, and an inexplicable suction force came out of the vortex.
The big tree remained motionless, and little bits of green light flew out of the tree and disappeared into the whirlpool.
The emerald green vortex is constantly flowing, and the green brilliance is like raindrops, flying out densely from the trees.
After a cup of tea, all the life essence of the big tree was filled with joy, turned into powder, and fell to the ground.
Lin Mu stretched out his hand, the emerald green vortex disappeared, and a green plant essence bead fell on Lin Mu's palm.
The thumb-sized green beads of grass and trees are still spinning in the palm of your hand.
With a smile on his face, Lin Mu came to a piece of water condensation grass. With a flick of his finger, the plant essence beads flew towards the water condensation grass.
Dots of green brilliance spread out and disappeared into the water-condensed grass.
The rich life essence quickly permeated the three-foot-square grass, and the hydrogel grass grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lin Mu looked happy and immediately continued making plant essence beads without stopping.
Towering ancient trees died one after another, and pieces of spiritual grass were quickly ripened.
The contrast between decaying trees and prosperous elixirs is stark.
Lin Mu made more than twenty acres of third-grade elixirs for a whole day before ripening them all.
The elixir is mature, and the intoxicating fragrance fills the air, refreshing the heart and mind.
The price paid was that more than thirty acres of towering ancient trees disappeared.
Lin Mu had no time to care about the demise of the towering ancient trees. He and Shitou quickly got busy and started collecting elixirs.
The third-grade elixir is becoming more and more delicate, so you need to be careful when collecting it. If the rhizome is slightly damaged, the efficacy of the medicine will be greatly reduced.
Father Lin, Mother Lin, and Yun Meng all stopped practicing and came out to help collect together.
The five of them worked together, and it took them a whole day to complete the collection.
After collecting the elixir, Lin Mu and Shitou prepared the elixir into ingredients according to the five elixir recipes.
Father Lin, Mother Lin, and Yun Meng carefully collected the elixir seeds and collected them in different cloth bags by category.
The seeds of third-grade elixirs are becoming increasingly rare, with each elixir containing only three to five seeds, or even only one or two.
All the elixir seeds have been collected, and the quantity is quite large, three times that of before!
On the island in the center of the lake, after Lin Mu destroyed more than thirty acres of towering ancient trees, the number of spiritual fields has reached more than seventy acres.
These elixir seeds can be planted in more than 70 acres of spiritual fields without much problem.
It took Lin Mu and Shitou a day to prepare all the elixirs.
There are more than twenty acres of elixirs, and according to five kinds of elixir recipes, only one hundred and fifty ingredients for each elixir are prepared.
One hundred and fifty copies!
This number is too small!
Although the third-grade elixir is said to be several times more effective than the second-grade elixir.
But with such a number, if you want to quickly improve your cultivation, there is still a big gap.
Lin Mu, his parents, and Shitou all practice the "Five Elements Heart Method". In order to control the balance of the five elements' spiritual power in the body, each practice requires five pills to be taken together to achieve the maximum effect.
Even if all the one hundred and fifty materials were turned into elixirs, there would only be seven or eight hundred bottles of five elixirs.
Even if the third-grade elixir is very effective and consumes slowly, if these materials are refined into elixir, it will only be enough for one person to practice for one year.
After waiting for five years, the elixir is only enough for one year!
Such a disparity is really disappointing.
During the long waiting time on weekdays, Lin Mu and Shitou could still practice on their own.
Father Lin and Mother Lin have no spiritual roots, and their cultivation results are extremely poor. Without elixirs, it is difficult to move forward.
Nowadays, even if the spiritual field reaches more than 70 acres, one harvest is only enough for one person to practice for about three or four years.
Unless all the land on the island is cultivated into spiritual fields, more than 300 acres of spiritual fields are all planted with third-grade elixirs.
Since Lin Mu and Shitou made alchemy, it also took a lot of time.
Calculated in this way, one harvest of more than 300 acres of spiritual land is enough for five people to practice for about five years.
Before the elixir grows and matures, the elixir is enough for cultivation.
After the elixir is consumed, the next batch of elixir is mature.
The number of elixirs and the growth time of the elixir form a perfect match!
This is exactly what Lin Mu originally thought!
But now it seems that this is obviously unrealistic!
The Qianyu Sword Sect will send fifty Qi-refining period disciples to practice here.
Although their qualifications are not bad, if they do not have enough Spirit Gathering Pills, they will not be able to reach the foundation building stage even in ten years.
There were fifty people, and Lin Mu had to set aside at least two hundred acres of spiritual land for them!
The remaining spiritual fields cannot meet the cultivation needs of the five people at all!
Lin Mudun felt a mountain of pressure and extremely difficult.
There is no other way now but to take one step at a time and think of another way when the time comes.
He then along with his father and Shitou, the three of them wielded earth spirit hoes, plowed more than 70 acres of spiritual fields and sown seeds.
After seven or eight days, tender yellow seedlings emerge from the seeds.
Lin Mu once again used the "Herbs and Trees Technique" to make grass and tree essence beads to ripen the elixir.
More than seventy acres of elixir, and more than one hundred acres of towering ancient trees, were all ripened just now.
To ripen these more than seventy acres of elixir, Lin Mu didn't sleep for three days, and kept pinching the magic formula with his fingers.
"Grass and Trees Jue" requires extremely high fingering techniques. After three days, Lin Mu's fingers were extremely sore.
After harvesting this batch of elixir, the five people were busy collecting it again.
The harvest this time was pretty good, three times that of last time!
Each of the five types of elixirs requires approximately 450 ingredients.
Adding the two times together, it’s six hundred!
The harvest of elixir seeds is also good, and the amount is enough to plant 200 acres.
There are now about 200 acres of spiritual land on the island, and more than half of the trees have been consumed!
Lin Mu looked at the two hundred acres of empty spiritual fields and made a decision to continue planting to the end!
Father Lin and Shitou naturally had no objections. The three of them once again wielded the earth spirit hoes and plowed the 200 acres of spiritual land.
The cultivation of two hundred acres of spiritual land is not an easy task.
The three of them worked day and night, and it took them three days to plow the spiritual field.
The three of them immediately sowed the seeds and irrigated them with rain.
After planting this batch of elixirs, Lin Mu had a few days of free time, so he took the opportunity to take a good rest.
During this period, Lin Mu made a small amount of plant essence beads to ripen the Seven Star Grass in the Circular Moon Space.
Twelve acres of seven-star grass are about to mature. After only consuming one acre of towering ancient trees, Lin Mu will ripen them all.
Lin Mu took the stone and his father, and the three of them gathered the seven-star grass together.
From twelve acres of seven-star grass, a total of more than 1,800 seven-star grasses were harvested, which can produce almost 800 seven-star paper notes.
Previously, Lin Mu left behind three thousand "Fire Bullet Talisman" and two thousand "Explosive Flame Talisman".
This harvest can add a lot of "Explosive Flame Talisman".
With this and the "Golden Stone Formation", it would be difficult for ordinary people to capture the island in the middle of the lake. Lin Mu could rest assured when he went to Qianyu Sword Gate.
In the twelve acres of spiritual fields in the Xuanyue Space, Lin Mu also planted third-grade elixirs.
A few days later, the 200 acres of spiritual fields on the island in the center of the lake all sprouted.
Lin Mu continued to make plant essence beads to accelerate the ripening of the elixir.
Just two hundred acres of elixir, the quantity is too much.
Lin Mu consumed all the trees on the island, but failed to ripen this batch of elixir.
But the elixir is not far from maturity and will mature in less than two months.
After a few busy days, all the trees died, and the island was once again free of 200 acres of spiritual land.
Including the 200 acres of fields that have been planted with elixirs, the total is 400 acres!
Four hundred acres of spiritual land!
Such a number made Lin Mu feel very comforted.
After doing this, the busyness just ends.
But Lin Mu had no time to spare. Elder Luo Yan was urging him to rush to Qianyu Sword Gate immediately.
Father Lin plans to slowly cultivate the additional 200 acres of spiritual land during this period.
Mother Lin and Yun Meng were not idle either, preparing to make the "Explosive Flame Talisman".
Lin Mu said goodbye to his parents and Yun Meng, then hurriedly left with the stone.
