Chapter 186
Under the explanation of the old doctor, Lu Qing finally understood.
It turned out that his master had been diligently studying the "Qing Nang Medical Classic" over the years and had also thoroughly read many medical classics treasured by the Wei family.
He had learned some peculiar methods for cultivating medicinal fields.
After all, once many renowned doctors became famous, they rarely ventured deep into the mountains to dig for medicinal herbs themselves. Such efficiency was not only low but also often required a stroke of luck.
So many medical masters began to ponder cultivating medicinal fields.
In this way, many special methods of cultivating medicinal fields were created.
One of these methods happened to require a millennium-old ginseng.
"A millennium-old ginseng with intelligence can instinctively gather and organize the earth's energy, nurturing its habitat. It is one of the best helpers for organizing the earth's energy and nurturing medicinal fields.
The ginseng you brought back, I see its age far exceeds a thousand years, and its spirituality is even stronger. It is the best choice for cultivating medicinal fields."
Lu Qing praised his master for his keen eyesight. Indeed, the age of this ginseng far exceeded a thousand years, reaching a full eighteen hundred years."But master, this millennium-old ginseng has intelligence and can escape on its own. If we put it in the medicinal field and it runs away, what should we do?"
Lu Qing had not forgotten the scene where this ginseng tried to escape before. If he hadn't reacted quickly, it would have really burrowed into the ground.
The old doctor smiled slightly, "I naturally have a way. Moreover, ginseng cherishes its home. When the medicinal field is truly cultivated and the earth's energy and medicinal aura become rich, it will be greatly beneficial for its growth. By then, it will not only not escape but will actively protect this place."
"In that case, I'll leave this ginseng to master."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing handed the ginseng in his hand to his master, while also taking out another medicine box from his bosom.
"By the way, I also found another ginseng that is several hundred years old. I'll give it to you as well, master."
The old doctor opened it and was even more delighted, "Good, good, with this several hundred years old ginseng, the cultivation of the medicinal field will be even easier."
Seeing Lu Qing continuously taking out ginseng, Wei Shanhai, who was beside them, was already stunned.
Not to mention the first one, a millennium-old ginseng with intelligence was a legendary spiritual medicine.
Even though he had lived for over a hundred years, it was the first time he had seen one.
Even the few hundred years old ginseng that followed was equally precious. Even their Wei family didn't have many of them.
Such precious spiritual medicines, Lu Qing had managed to obtain in a single retreat into the mountains. What kind of luck was this?
At this moment, Wei Shanhai became increasingly convinced that Lu Qing was indeed the legendary Child of Fortune.
Otherwise, how could he have obtained such rare spiritual medicines just by casually going into the mountains?
After handing over the ginseng to his master, Lu Qing felt a sense of relief.
However, his master's words also reminded him.
In fact, in the inheritances he had obtained, such as from the Li Huo Sect, there were methods for cultivating medicinal fields and even spiritual fields.
Most of those methods required immortal means, which he could not perform at his current level.
But there were also some relatively simple methods that he could use.
Moreover, with the imminent spiritual revival, he should make preparations early.
Lu Qing, having the inheritance, knew well that the path of cultivation was extremely resource-intensive.
Making plans early would give him an advantage in the upcoming changes in the world.
However, this might require some assistance from the Wei family.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing said to the Wei family patriarch, "Senior Wei, there is something I would like to ask for your help with."
"Oh? What is it?"
"I need some materials. Could you have your family help collect them?"
"That's easy. Just give me the list of materials."
Wei Shanhai agreed without hesitation.
At the same time, he was secretly pleased.
Ever since he recognized Lu Qing as a peerless genius with great fortune, he valued Lu Qing even more.
He had also heard about the impending great change in the world.
Even great forces like Tianji Tower and Seven Kill Tower were taking it seriously.
Their small family needed to be even more cautious.
Having a future pillar like Lu Qing, he naturally wanted to hold on tight.
Therefore, he was more than willing to fulfill Lu Qing's requests.
Lu Qing went inside, wrote a detailed list of materials, and handed it to Wei Shanhai.
Wei Shanhai did not look at it and solemnly put it away, intending to have his family members help gather the materials immediately upon returning.
Cultivating a medicinal field was quite a complex task, requiring many preparations.
For this, the old doctor also asked the Wei family to help find some materials.
With the Wei family's efforts, the materials the old doctor needed were gathered within a few days.
However, the materials Lu Qing needed were relatively rare and would take some time to collect.
After obtaining the materials, the old doctor immediately started working.
"Master, is this the medicinal field you are cultivating?"
A few days later, behind the halfway house, Lu Qing looked at a small garden his master had organized, feeling a bit dazed.
There was no way around it, the medicinal field was simply too small. Its length and width were only about a zhang, far from the medicinal field he had imagined.
"This is just a trial. Don't underestimate this small medicinal field; it took quite a bit of effort."
The old doctor brought out a flower pot, which contained the millennium-old ginseng Lu Qing had caught.
"Master, this ginseng seems to be showing affection to you?"
Seeing the millennium-old ginseng gently rubbing its leaves against his master's hand like a small dog, Lu Qing was surprised.
"I have been feeding it a few drops of medicinal liquid prepared from the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid every day for the past few days, so it has become more affectionate."
Lu Qing suddenly understood.
No wonder, the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid was such a precious liquid, entirely condensed from the essence of the earth. Even when diluted, it had a fatal attraction for plant spirits like the millennium-old ginseng.
The lush growth of herbs in the forest outside the Yuhua Cave was due to the underground formation gathering the earth's energy for nourishment.
"Little guy, from now on, this will be your home."
The old doctor gently tipped the millennium-old ginseng along with the soil into the medicinal field.
The medicinal field had been pre-treated with materials and transplanted with many herbs, rich in medicinal aura.
As soon as the millennium-old ginseng touched the ground, it swiftly burrowed down, surprising Lu Qing.
Fortunately, it soon re-emerged, found the spot with the densest earth energy in the medicinal field, rooted itself, shook its branches and leaves for a while, and then slowly settled down.
Only then did Lu Qing breathe a sigh of relief.
He had thought the little thing was going to escape.
"Don't worry," the old doctor smiled, "I have been communicating with this little guy with my mind over the past few days and have reached an agreement. From now on, it will peacefully help us manage the medicinal field. Every three days, I'll give it a drop of medicinal liquid prepared from the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid."
"As long as you are confident, master."
Lu Qing relaxed and smiled as well.
Although the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid was precious, as long as his master was happy, it was worth it.
Moreover, Lu Qing could feel that as the millennium-old ginseng took root, the earth energy under this small mountain became much more orderly, and the nearby earth energy was also slowly gathering here.
Over time, if given enough time, the halfway house might even slowly become a blessed land.
Thinking of this, it seemed quite worth it to exchange a little Earth Vein Spirit Liquid for the medicinal liquid.
