Chapter 61: Di Xins Grand Medicine Garden
Di Xin's grand medicine garden was right in front of her house, just a few steps away. Long Xuan never imagined that such a grand garden would be right under his nose.
After Di Xin threw him a talisman-like formation key, his vision blurred, and the illusion cast by the formation immediately lost its effect on him. The hidden scenery under the illusion appeared before his eyes.
What was just a vast green meadow suddenly transformed into a paradise filled with spiritual herbs, leaving him utterly shocked.
This medicine garden was incredibly beautiful, with a dazzling array of flowers in various colors, each more beautiful than the last, with swarms of butterflies dancing among them.
Beside the flower garden was a fruit orchard, with spiritual fruits of all shapes and colors. The fruit trees varied in height and form.
Next to the orchard was a tea garden with an array of different tea trees, each with unique appearances and various shapes of tea leaves. At the entrance of the tea garden, there was a large teapot, seemingly brewing tea Gu.
Adjacent to the tea garden was a patch of strange grasses, though shorter, their variety was visually striking.
Next to the grass garden was a tree garden, featuring iron trees, fire trees, and beautiful cherry blossom trees with pink flowers that were surely beloved by spiritual bees.
Beside the tree garden was a vegetable garden rich in various attributes of spiritual energy, with all sorts of grades and types, even including small chili peppers.
Amazing, the spiritual herbs were categorized into flowers, grasses, trees, and woods, and Di Xin's medicine garden encompassed all of them.In this world, spiritual herbs are generally divided into four major categories: flowers, grasses, trees, and woods. However, unlike in the previous life where trees and woods were considered the same, they are completely different in this world.
The simplest way to understand is that the leaves and fruits of trees can be used for alchemy, while woods are valued for their material, used in crafting tools and formations, and even for building houses.
Besides the four major categories of spiritual herbs, there are also some rare types, but due to their limited use, they are collectively classified as others, such as vegetables, grains, vines, bamboo, medicinal plants, moss, and aquatic plants from the sea.
Even these rare miscellaneous types were all present in Di Xin's garden. She even dug a pond to grow aquatic plants, adorned with beautiful lotuses.
Is she a bit of a collector, perhaps even obsessive? Otherwise, why collect so comprehensively and in such quantity, making it look like a paradise, leaving Long Xuan completely astounded.
What is she planning? Does she really consider this her home?
However, Long Xuan suddenly remembered that she is a formation master. This girl often cracks others' formations with her hacking skills and visits their medicine gardens. So, it's not surprising that her own garden is so complete. It would be strange if it weren't.
Thinking this way, he suddenly found it reasonable. Perhaps she moved all the spiritual herbs from other people's gardens into her own? Truly ruthless and terrifying.
From now on, he must keep an eye on his own medicine garden. If she ever visited, that would be disastrous. How would he survive then?
"Don't just stand there, move the spiritual herbs you like quickly!"
"Let me be clear, I don't do business for less than a billion. If you trouble me for a few spiritual herbs, I'll kick you out immediately!"
Seeing Long Xuan's shocked expression, Di Xin revealed a proud smile.
This was her own paradise, a wonderland on earth, her warm little home. She had traveled to countless places to create it, and it was all a result of her hard work.
Long Xuan snapped back to reality and immediately walked into the garden.
As soon as he entered, he felt different. The air was exceptionally fresh, mixed with the fragrance of spiritual herbs and flowers.
The place was also rich in spiritual energy. As soon as Long Xuan entered, he felt completely comfortable, as if staying here would extend his life. It was indeed a nourishing place.
He decided that he also wanted to create such a medicine garden. Living like this, focusing on comfort and enjoyment while practicing on the side, was what the immortal path should be.
Initially, Long Xuan planned to transplant a bunch of first-grade spiritual flowers back to feed the spiritual bees. Otherwise, a bare garden with just one spiritual herb would not look good.
But now, he suddenly changed his mind. He wanted to strive for perfection. If he was going to do it, he had to do it the best.
He also wanted to create a medicine garden of the same caliber as Di Xin's, with zones for spiritual flowers, fruit trees, tea, and everything else.
If he didn't make it grand, how could it live up to the formidable formation of the Great ice formation?
The Ice formation even had a turret, so no matter how many people came, they couldn't attack his medicine garden. He could boldly plant some expensive spiritual herbs.
Long Xuan used the Eye of Heaven's secret to quickly scan the spiritual herbs, but there were so many that he felt dizzy, as if he was exceeding his limit.
But he quickly discovered another function of his golden finger.
Before, Elder Long Lao's medicine garden was too low-level, with only the lowest grade first-grade spiritual herbs, so his golden finger didn't reveal much.
But upon entering this high-spec garden, his golden finger immediately showed many different things.
First, he realized one thing: the lifespan of spiritual herbs is not directly proportional to their grade. The lifespan of a spiritual herb is entirely related to its type.
Tree-type spiritual herbs live long, with many thousand-year-old trees.
Grass-type spiritual herbs have short lifespans and often wither quickly.
So in the spiritual herb world, a fourth-grade spiritual grass has a much shorter lifespan than a first-grade spiritual tree.
This is also a normal natural law. Even in the previous life, trees lived the longest, with many thousand-year-old ancient trees.
However, in this world, the lifespan of spiritual insects is directly proportional to their grade.
This means that if a spiritual tree is infested with insects, the insects produced will be highly valuable.
But just as humans have different aptitudes, so do spiritual herbs. The lifespan of the same spiritual herb can vary.
For example, in front of Long Xuan, there was a patch of peach trees, about a hundred of them, with a maximum lifespan of a thousand years. Of course, this thousand-year lifespan isn't an exact thousand years. Each tree is different, influenced by its aptitude. Some can live a thousand years longer, some even two thousand years longer.
But there was one tree with outstanding aptitude that could live for ten thousand years, standing out from the rest.
A ten-thousand-year-old tree, if infested with insects, would produce peak-grade spiritual insects.
Long Xuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva. This was a golden opportunity.
Di Xin's medicine garden was too large, with too many such outstanding spiritual herbs. He was going to hit the jackpot.
With a glance, he discovered at least ten types of spiritual herbs with ten-thousand-year potential, capable of producing peak-grade spiritual insects in the future. Each ten-thousand-year-old tree could produce more than one peak-grade spiritual insect, making him breathe heavily.
Most spiritual herbs die before reaching ten thousand years. Who could tell which one could live that long? Di Xin surely didn't have that ability, but Long Xuan did!
With this vision, Long Xuan's future medicine garden could be full of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, which was terrifying to think about.
A garden full of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs would be far superior to Di Xin's garden, like heaven and earth, incomparable. He wouldn't need to envy anything anymore.
