Thirty Blue Rock
Ye Qin once again used his divine sense, intending to move the sand grains into the floating island. Unexpectedly, he failed. These ordinary sand grains could be moved out of the floating island, but strangely, they couldn't be moved back in.
A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he began to think rapidly, constantly making various inferences.
Little Lu needs to eat to grow up.
They can eat sunlight.
So they should be more able to eat nutrients from the soil.
Herbs originally grow in the mud and rely on sunlight to grow!
Ye Qin suddenly came to his senses and slapped his forehead.
Goodness gracious, I've been thinking for half a day and didn't think of this. Maybe we should dig up some dirt and let them have a good taste.
He hastily dug out several thick clods of earth from the top of the mountain, amidst the rocks and weeds. Then he tried to move them into the floating island. However, he encountered failure once again. These seemingly thick clumps of soil could not be moved into the floating island at all, not even a single grain.
What's going on?
Ye Qin was somewhat at a loss.
This problem didn't stump him. Soon he thought of something, the small dew grass was collected on a protruding rock near the eagle's nest on the back mountain cliff, and the soil that followed the small dew grass into the floating island was also collected on the protruding rock. The soil on that protruding rock must be able to be moved in.
Look at the sky, it's just morning now, and the sun has just risen for a while.
Ye Qin thought and did, bringing two bundles of rope, a small grass medicine basket, a small chopping axe, a small iron trowel, a medicinal knife, etc., to the back mountain, climbing down the cliff along the thick rope.
The grey eagles circling around the mountain peak still posed a great threat to him, and he had to be more careful.
Half a time later, Ye Qin descended to the overhanging rock of the cliff and stood firm. He looked around and saw that there were several more eagle nests on the nearby cliff wall, and he couldn't help but smile secretly. He had destroyed all the nests here before, but now they were rebuilt again.
In the distance, two or three grey hawks discovered Ye Qin's trail and flew over, crying "Tsee-tsee!", but halfway through, they suddenly stopped and didn't get any closer, only anxiously circling and crying out.
Ye Qin had already gripped the axe tightly, ready to kill the eagles. Seeing that they didn't dare to get close, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He thought to himself, could it be that these few grey eagles were the same ones he had met before? They actually recognized him? The memory of these flat-haired beasts was quite good.
This also saved him some trouble.
Since those few grey eagles didn't dare to come over, Ye Qin quickly changed to an iron shovel and started digging at the edge of the stone where small reeds used to grow. Soon he dug out a lot of mud.
Ye Qin grabbed a handful, rubbed it for a moment, and sniffed it suspiciously. He couldn't tell the difference between this soil and the ordinary soil on the mountain top, except that it gave people a very pure feeling, and didn't seem special in any other way.
He tried to use his divine consciousness to transfer them to the Zifu Floating Island.
Huh?
Most of the mud had disappeared from his hands, leaving only a small amount of sand remaining on them.
Ye Qin was almost stunned, unable to believe that he had succeeded. Almost in an instant, a surge of wild joy burst forth from his heart. The soil here could indeed be transplanted. This also meant that the small Luminous Grass growing on the Floating Island now had absorbable nutrients.
He didn't dare to immediately sink his consciousness into the floating island to check the specific situation, after all, on this dangerous mountain peak overhang, the gray eagle might give him a surprise attack at any time, that's a deadly guy.
Continue digging more soil and put it into a small grass medicine basket, then climb up to the top of the mountain peak.
Arriving at the open-air campsite under the giant boulder on the summit, Ye Qin put down all his herbal medicine equipment and sat cross-legged, his divine sense entering the Purple Mansion Floating Island within the endless void.
On the floating island in the void.
A small white light ball that was one-tenth brighter than it was a year ago quickly floated out of the light circle shield of Benming Yuanshen Monument, and then flew to the place where Xiaolu grass grew in a hurry.
That handful of light soil moved into the floating island was placed near five small Luminous Grass.
In this floating island, Ye Qin's spiritual awareness became even more sensitive as a light sphere. He could clearly feel that the soil here seemed to carry a faint and thin spiritual energy. Although it was not dense, this feeling was absolutely unmistakable.
He moved the soil to the roots of five small rhododendrons.
Only when the roots of the small dew grass touched the mud, they suddenly moved and quickly "drilled" into the mud. Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, they rapidly grew, bloomed, fruited, and their seeds continued to sprout, growing into new small dew grass plants.
But those spiritual soils quickly lost their spirituality and became very ordinary sand grains.
Ye Qin's eyes didn't dare to blink, carefully observing the entire process, almost unable to suppress the wild joy in his heart. His speculation was correct, as long as there was enough "food", the small Luocao could be cultivated and grow extremely quickly within the floating island.
All his doubts were finally resolved with the scene in front of him. The initial one sprout of small dew grass turned into five sprouts of small dew grass, all because of this mud. Solving the problem of cultivating small dew grass, quickly practicing "The Sitting and Forgetting Scripture: Sit and Gaze at the Non-Self" was no longer an impossible task.
The next few days.
Ye Qin climbs cliffs every day, digs Lingtu on the protruding rocks, and transfers it to the floating islands for cultivating small Luhua grass.
The protruding rock on the cliff was hard, but it couldn't withstand his digging and began to shrink at a noticeable rate. The outermost part of the rock was some soil, but as he dug deeper, Ye Qin was surprised to find that inside was all green rock, which seemed to have a good effect on the growth of small plants.
Especially in the center of the Qingyan Rock, Ye Qin actually found a small piece about the size of a thumb, pure green, and full of spiritual energy - Qingyan Marrow.
He looked at it with great interest and put it away in a floating island for safekeeping, without using it to cultivate spiritual grass.
After spending three days, Ye Qin finally moved all the Qingyan stones that could be moved into the Zifu Floating Island, and after searching the entire mountain peak again, he couldn't find any other Qingyan stones, so he left the mountain peak and went to other places to collect medicine and cultivate.
Thus, Ye Qin began to cultivate in the depths of the ancient forest, thousands of miles away in Zhugai County.
He moved all the small Lü Cao, Qingyan Shi to the central part of the Zifu Island, around the Benming Yuanshen Monument, and drew a one-zhang-sized medicinal herb garden. He conducted small-scale cultivation and planting, and planted over a hundred plants in one breath, making people extremely happy with their lush green color.
Ye Qin did not use up all the bluestones. Most of them were piled aside for future use in cultivating herbs.
In this endless void, on a floating island shrouded in a thick grey mist, a small patch of vibrant green finally appeared.
Ye Qin will no longer be bored on the floating island of Zifu.
