Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Medicinal Garden Harvest

[Healing] After using it, Lu Ping began to pay attention to Song Minghui’s character attribute panel.

After watching quietly for a while, [suffering from a serious illness, great loss of lifespan] gradually changed to [initially recovering].

This [Healing] effect obviously doesn’t instantly cure the recipient; it still requires time for recuperation.

Lu Ping couldn’t help but ponder.

But at least it’s working.

Being able to heal Song Minghui’s injury, if it requires waiting, then wait we shall; it’s not like recovery won’t happen.

After taking a final glance at Song Minghui and noticing the pained expression on her face had disappeared, leaving her natural-looking, Lu Ping decided not to stay any longer.

He turned around, stepped out, and drifted out of the room.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lu Yuanshan encountered Lu Changfeng, and the two started a casual chat.

"Second brother, did you ask father about Song Minghui’s injury?"

"I asked."

"Does father have a solution?"

"Father didn’t explicitly say how to resolve it, but he mentioned he would find a way and told me not to worry about it."

"Phew, then the matter of Song Minghui’s recovery is more or less settled."

"I think so too."

Indeed, that was the case.

With the [Healing] treatment, Song Minghui was fully recovered in less than half a month.

Lu Ping noticed that in her personal panel, the status column finally turned to healthy.

Learning that Song Minghui had recovered, there was naturally joy throughout the Sect.

There were already not many disciples in the sect, and everyone was quite familiar with each other from meeting almost daily.

It’s not too far-fetched to say that the Cyan Mountain Sect is like a family.

Lu Ping spent some time checking the conditions of the Spirit Field and Medicinal Garden. He specifically observed She Qingqing for a while.

Since She Qingqing engaged in the Alchemy Dao, studying books like "Qingxi Records," several months had passed.

According to Lu Ping’s estimation, it would take about another year for She Qingqing to fully understand the knowledge in a few book volumes.

The [Diligent and Studious] effect was still in action on She Qingqing.

Therefore, there’s no need to worry about the little girl slacking off and delaying her learning process; instead, she often finds leisure time from her busy schedule to spend more time studying Alchemy Dao.

And since the expansion of the Medicinal Garden, She Qingqing’s workload naturally increased. Sometimes when things pile up, she barely has time to cultivate, often not even having time to do laundry or cook.

Fortunately, with Li Weixiao’s help now, the little boy, though still inexperienced with the Spirit Gathering Rain Technique and lacking Magical Power, often needs to rest for half an hour after casting a spell to water one acre of medicine field to recover his magical power.

But at least he can do the watering, helping She Qingqing with some of her work.

Moreover, the little boy is very diligent, willing to take care of mundane chores around She Qingqing in his spare time from studying, such as laundry, cooking, weeding, and fetching water.

He himself is not from a wealthy family and has done plenty of these everyday tasks from an early age; he is a child who understood things early on.

When Lu Ping initially designated, appointing Li Weixiao to assist She Qingqing and have She Qingqing as his mentor, the most significant reason was to nurture another good hand for managing the Medicinal Garden in the Sect, ideally following She Qingqing into the Alchemy Dao.

The Sect never has too many talents.

Li Weixiao can help She Qingqing a lot, which brings many benefits to She Qingqing.

Seeing everything in the Medicinal Garden progressing smoothly, as expected, Lu Ping felt very satisfied.

And over the next two days, news spread from the Medicinal Garden that the Spirit Medicine planted last year had reached maturity this year, ready for a bountiful harvest.

[The Medicinal Garden has reached the harvest period, and joy spreads throughout the Sect]

Just like when the Spirit Field had a bumper harvest, the entire Sect was very jubilant, and the system also provided prompts.

Lu Ping floated to the Medicinal Garden area and found that the Clear Heart Grass, Purple Cloud Reishi, Orchid Vine, and more than a dozen kinds of Tier One Spirit Medicine planted last year had all matured.

The only ones still in the growth stage, just sprouting, not yet three inches tall, were half of the Spirit Medicines. These were newly planted in the three acres of medicine field, including Profound Dark Grass, Clear Heart Grass, and Purple Cloud Reishi.

Since they’ve been planted for less than half a year, their maturity is still far off, at least not until next year.

Among them, the Profound Dark Grass is a new type of Spirit Medicine that the Sect is trying for the first time, and it’s uncertain what its yield will be next year.

When Lu Ping arrived here, She Qingqing and Li Weixiao were already busy in the medicine field.

They carefully inspected each Spirit Medicine’s growth condition and did a quantity count.

Doing so could not only report the yield of this batch of Spirit Medicine but also conveniently record quantities during harvesting, showing how much has been picked and how much remains.

They reported the quantity of Spirit Medicine, totaling one hundred and thirty-one plants, which is not a lot, given only three acres were planted, and each acre isn’t large, about ten square meters or so.

And planting Spirit Medicine isn’t like planting cabbages; you can’t just dig a hole and grow one.

Some Spirit Medicine will inevitably lose Spiritual due to poor growth or pest issues, making them unsuitable for Alchemy.

The Cyan Mountain Sect’s Medicinal Garden yield is about ninety percent, which is already quite high.

And the medicine field was only Tier One; the Spiritual Qi level couldn’t support too much Spirit Medicine growth.

The subsequent three acres of Spirit Field were expanded only after She Qingqing carefully calculated and concluded it could be done.

Only three acres could be expanded; even an additional half-acre would result in insufficient Spiritual Qi in the medicine field, affecting Spirit Medicine growth.

So the expansion had to be reasonable.

Upon learning of this batch of Spirit Medicine’s yield, Lu Yuanshan took it very seriously, set aside his affairs, and personally came to the Medicinal Garden to help She Qingqing harvest Spirit Medicine, with even Li Weixiao accompanying to assist.

"Hey, wait! Wait! Don’t pull the whole Clear Heart Grass out; you must leave part of the root in the soil."

"Weixiao, when picking Clear Heart Grass, you need to pinch an inch or so above where it’s sprouted, breaking it off from there to keep the root intact, ensuring it continues to grow."

"The root of Clear Heart Grass is an excellent seed; leaving the base will allow it to grow again, producing new Clear Heart Grass."

While picking, She Qingqing educated Li Weixiao.

Li Weixiao was harvesting Clear Heart Grass for the first time, so his technique was inevitably inexperienced, and he made some minor mistakes. Fortunately, he was very teachable, nodding repeatedly while listening to She Qingqing’s guidance.

"Also, when extracting Purple Cloud Reishi, you need to gently peel off the soil layer from the edges, not dig randomly."

"Purple Cloud Reishi must remain intact; avoid damaging its body, or it will gradually lose Spirit Charm due to surface damage. Such damaged Purple Cloud Reishi loses significant efficacy, fetching only two Spirit Stones at most."

"Little Weixiao, you still have much to learn, so keep working hard."

"This time, you’re picking Spirit Medicine with me and the Sect Leader for the first time, so it’s understandable if you’re unfamiliar with the techniques. Observation, memory, and practice will help you get used to them. Everyone goes through a process from unfamiliarity to familiarity, right?"

She Qingqing patiently instructed.

Nearly every Spirit Medicine had some peculiarities during harvesting, prompting Li Weixiao to start taking small notes while learning how to pick.
