Chapter 56: Vegetable Bird Forests Alchemy Preparations

  The next morning, Lin Luoran didn't mention anything about someone visiting her room at night. Mo Tian Nan took the initiative to bid farewell to Lin's parents, saying that there was an urgent matter at home and he had to rush back immediately, leaving in a hurry.

  Lin's mother didn't suspect anything else. Although she was very willing to have such a talented young man accompany her daughter everywhere, she couldn't stop him from going home, could she?

  Lin's mother didn't mention it after Mu Tian Nan left, but she kept sighing while staring at her daughter. Mu Tian Nan drove out of the Lin family gate with a smile on his face, which suddenly turned cold, his eyebrows furrowed, and although he pursed his lips tightly, he couldn't help but let out a trickle of blood.

  Murong Tian Nan gripped the steering wheel with one hand and wiped away the bloodstains with his other, staring blankly for a moment before suddenly bursting into laughter.

  "What a heartless woman!"

  But anyway, I just like it... Mu Tian Nan turned his head and glanced at the red lacquered gate of the Lin family, revealing a mysterious smile.

  It just so happened that it also affected the internal injury, making him so painful that he punched the steering wheel and had to start the car, stepping on the accelerator and driving away quickly.

  Lin Luoran, with a heart of stone, was unaware of the thoughts in Mu Shao's mind. Even if she had known, she would have scoffed at them. She wasn't some brainless, lovesick fool who would engage in disgusting behavior like having a midnight tryst and then making small talk under the moonlight with her nocturnal visitor. Since he dared to disregard her reputation so blatantly, that slap was well-deserved!

  Thinking of the palm that had just struck him, Lin Luo Ran couldn't help but want to laugh. Having taken that palm, his life was probably safe, but for a very long time afterwards, he would have a lot of trouble.

  As for whether or not to reveal her true strength, Lin Luoran didn't even think about it. If she were to fear the wolf in front and the tiger behind, then her future path of cultivation would be long and arduous, with many pressures and hardships coming from outside. How could she face them?

  With things on his mind, Lin Luo Ran took a small knife and entered the space.

  This time Rui Li's harvest was not small, Lin Luo Ran couldn't fully absorb it, almost all of it went to waste in space. Under the circumstances where spiritual energy was abundant, the medicinal materials in the pharmacy gained some opportunities.

  The small green tree by the spring was destined to have no reaction, that black flower, since it last bloomed and expanded Lin Luo's divine consciousness, after the black flower turned to ashes, it had been growing quietly in its original place, naturally without any change.

  What changed was that the first foreign resident of space - that He Shou Wu, which was originally picked up by Lin Luo Ran from the vegetable market, actually burst into bloom and suddenly bloomed!

  Not only that, but also the seven small ginsengs surrounding He Shouwu... oh no, I made a mistake, one of them has already been given to Master Jia, so they are not the calabaza brothers anymore, there are only six left. These six little things have lush green leaves, and deep within their leaf hearts, they actually produced long strips with small buds on top, could it be that these are ginseng flower buds?

  Calculating the time, from sowing ginseng to today, it was initially late autumn, now it's already midwinter, barely three months have passed. This ginseng is growing in its own space, could it be that it will take a hundred years to bear fruit?

  Although he also bought some artificial ginseng that was over a decade old later on, Lin Luo Ran still valued the original few ginseng the most. Thinking about how he might be able to harvest a batch of their seeds soon made him very happy.

  He Shou Wu has also bloomed, and it seems that the outcome will be decided in just a few days. Lin Luo Ran originally wanted to pull it out for other uses, but now it's not a good time to take action.

  Why don't we wait for a few more days?

  Lin Luoran couldn't return empty-handed with the small knife in her hand, so those ordinary medicinal herbs that happened to be in her plan and were also available in the space suffered as a result.

  "This angelica is quite good, its quality is definitely better than what you can buy outside by a big margin!"

  As for this reishi mushroom, Lin Luoran remembered that it was picked from the mountain when she went up the mountain with her father last time. At that time, she didn't know its name and only felt that its spiritual energy was stronger than other plants. Later, she specifically looked it up and found that many of the medicinal materials she had collected based on their strong spiritual energy were actually this mushroom, but she hadn't recognized them at the time.

  It's like that, and there are many medicinal materials that aren't recorded in the circulating data either. Lin Luo Ran thinks they all have quite good spiritual energy, and suspects that these are all medicinal materials used by higher-level cultivators - such as those who cultivate truth.

  Of course, these are all Lin Luoran's speculations, and the truth will have to be verified by her in the future.

  This loquat tree is also growing well, with lush branches and leaves, almost invading the territory of the nearby cowherb. First, let's pick the bright red loquats, and if there are any extra, they can be used to make wine for Lin Dad to drink.

  It seems that ox knee is also needed, Amitabha, ox knee can't escape its fate today either.

  Having collected all the necessary medicinal herbs in her space, Lin Luoran went to a pharmacy to buy some dodder seeds. This thing needed to be soaked in wine to germinate, and she didn't have any in her space either.

  Apart from He Shou Wu, all the medicinal materials have been collected, and Lin Luo Ran has started processing them in the backyard. The processing of traditional Chinese medicine is also very particular, different treatments produce different effects, and the efficacy of the medicinal materials is also different.

  It seems that Lin Luo knew this prescription, and most of the medicinal materials needed to be soaked in wine before being taken out and dried in the sun, waiting for the final medicine.

  And the methods and times of soaking are also different. For example, Niuxi must have its leaves removed, soaked in wine for one day, and then it's not dried immediately, but instead needs to be steamed with He Shou Wu.

  These trivial steps made Lin Luo Ran feel helpless, but he had to follow them - if one day he had a Dan furnace in the Cultivation world, plus some Dan fire, wouldn't he be able to simply throw all the medicinal materials into the Dan furnace and just wait for the final collection of the Dan?

  Lin Luoran was quite skeptical. Even refining a common medicine in the secular world had so many intricacies and was such a hassle. The cultivation of spiritual truth there really did seem like boasting.

  Watching their daughter busy in the backyard, occasionally pouring wine and soaking medicinal materials into bottles and jars, Lin's mother and father observed for a long time. On the fifth day, they finally couldn't help it. Lin's father finally couldn't bear it, and sent Lin's mother to make the first move:

  "I said, Xiao Ran, this medicinal wine of yours, is it for your father to take as a tonic? This is too much trouble!"

  Lin Luoran's face turned red with sweat, and he had to explain that his parents thought he was brewing medicinal wine. He told them the truth - that he was making medicine pills for Wang Miao'e. After a long explanation, they finally understood. In the end, Lin Luoran had no choice but to give his father some dried Chinese wolfberries from his storage space as materials for actually brewing medicinal wine.

  It's not that Lin Luo Ran is unfilial, the space clearly has ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum that can be used to nourish his parents' bodies, but now Lin Dad and Lin Mom are just ordinary people with a lot of impurities in their bodies. If they eat ginseng, it would only make them feel weak and not receive any nourishment. Lin Luo Ran has always insisted on letting them eat the space vegetables, he wants to let them gradually eliminate the impurities and toxins from their bodies through this slow but very stable process.

  On the tenth night, it was exactly one hundred days. On that night, the withered flowers on the He Shou Wu vine had indeed produced small green fruits.

  Lin Luoran endured for another two days, and it seemed that the fruit had almost taken shape. Only then did she pour spring water on the roots of He Shou Wu, carefully collecting each seed and storing them away.

  A hundred-year-old He Shou Wu, still grown in space, these seeds are probably no longer the quality of this strain from the vegetable market He Shou Wu, when re-sown, will definitely harvest medicinal materials with the same quality as ginseng - only then can it be considered worthy of being called "Four Great Divine Herbs" along with ginseng and lingzhi.

  As for this He Shou Wu, the sky can be seen to pity it, and Lin Luo Yan pulled it up with one hand, even the vines were made into dry "night vine" and stored away.

  Xiu Zhen's rookie Lin Luo Ran is about to start his first alchemy practice.
