Chapter 22 Biyuan Mountain

Biyuan Mountain is not far from the hill where the outer disciples live. There are two hills away from the hill. The peak and the peak are deep valleys connected by an iron chain bridge. Outer disciples and Zongmen servants walked.

Zhang Shiping walked across it a few times when he first came to Zhengyangzong, and he never walked across this chain bridge after he bought a flying instrument for transportation.

After accepting the task of Biyuanshan Baicao Garden from the Foreign Affairs Hall, he passed by the hill on the way, flew down and took out the spirit stone that had used up more than half of the spiritual power in the formation that he had arranged in his temporary residence. After closing it, Then go on your way.

After a while, they came to two big mountains facing each other. The mountains were connected by a long chain bridge, and several people were walking and passing on the bridge.

Zhang Shiping's imperial weapon flew over from above, and did not land until the yellow-faced old man's residence in Baicaoyuan.

The old man was in the courtyard, when he saw an acquaintance coming over, he thought he was here for tea, and said with a joke: "If you come later, boy, I will leave."

Zhang Shiping was surprised, he wondered how the old man knew that he was here to hand over Baicao Garden so quickly, and said: "You old man didn't hand over Baicao Garden, you still want to leave? Why, I have already figured it out, I want to go back and enjoy the family happiness, Instead of this, it is better to bring your children and grandchildren, isn't Lingshan Xiushui better than the world?"

As he spoke, he reached out and wiped the storage bag, and a green jade tablet of Biyuan Mountain appeared in his hand.
Then he threw it over, the old man's hands and feet were still very flexible, he threw the jade tablet in the air, and the person reached out his hand on the seat to catch the jade tablet.

He drooped his eyelids, took a look, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be the one who took over the task of my Biyuan Mountain Baicao Garden."

"Well, it's destined." Zhang Shiping said,

He opened the firewood door, walked into the courtyard, and sat on the stone chair next to the old man. He didn't recognize his life, just as if he had returned to his own home, he picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.

Gulu Gulu took a big gulp before continuing, "I just came back today and went to the Palace of Foreign Affairs. I happened to see the mission, so I came here."

"Didn't you say you're here to make tea?" The old man picked up the kettle and made another pot of tea.

"Forget it, I'd rather be in charge of this medicine garden for you. Come on, then." The old man then took out two wrinkled books from the storage bag.

After thinking about it, he took out several blank jade slips and copied a copy of the exercises and pills he had collected over the years.

Zhang Shiping looked at the old man, and then flipped through two books in his hands. One recorded the cultivation methods of eighteen kinds of first-grade tea trees and three kinds of second-grade tea trees. It looks like I wrote it not long ago.

The other book is the method of making tea. The old man has decades of experience in making tea, what kind of tea to use, what tools to use, and the step-by-step process. Hand can also quickly make qualified tea.

With these two books alone, half of Zhang Shiping's affairs after taking charge of Baicao Garden will be solved. At least he will not run around like a headless chicken.

The jade slips are a few spells used by immortal plants, such as the spirit rain technique for rain, the gold needle technique for insect removal, and the soil turning technique for loosening the soil. They are useless for monks' fighting skills, but they are essential for immortal plants .

As for the elixirs, there are two types of elixir that use spiritual tea leaves as the main ingredient to increase leanness and improve qi. They are effective in the middle stage of qi refining, but not so obvious in the later stage of qi refining.

"Old man, are you giving this to me? Why are you so generous today?" Zhang Shiping said jokingly, flipping through the books hastily, and quickly put the two books and a few pieces of jade slips into the storage bag.

The old man stood up and said angrily: "It's you, kid. I wouldn't have so much free time if someone else took over the Baicao Garden."

Immediately afterwards, the old man took out a flying magic weapon in the shape of a tea tray, sat on it, flew in the air and said, "Come on, let me take you to familiarize yourself with Biyuan Mountain, so that you won't be fooled by those fools when you are young."

Zhang Shiping quickly followed, and the two of them spent more than half an hour circling Biyuan Mountain up and down, left, right, left, right, left, right, and the yellow-faced old man spoke very slowly and clearly.

The tea trees are mainly planted in the Biyuan Mountain Baicao Garden. The tea fields on the mountainside are reclaimed like ladders, one ridge after another, and the first-order tea trees are planted on them. There are six varieties planted now, including yellow-faced tea trees. The old man said that the quality of the third tea field is the best.

The Zongmen did not divide the Biyuan Mountain Baicao Garden into several blocks. The yellow-faced old man divided it himself for easy management.

There is a small open space under a huge rock closest to Lingquan, where second-order tea trees are planted, and there is only a small tea garden with four lands.

Because the huge rocks cover the sun, the sunshine time is only two short hours in the morning and evening. The top of the rock is infiltrated and dripped by fine springs all year round. Under the nourishment of the spiritual spring, the second-order tea trees grow well.

The yellow-faced old man chuckled, "Blessed are you, I have taken care of this small tea garden old man for decades, and now I can make 24 catties of first-class tea in a year, except for the [-] catties handed over to Zongmen. If you can still leave nine or ten catties in the next year, you will get a few hundred spirit stones."

Zhang Shiping's eyes suddenly changed, looking at this tea garden was like looking at a pile of sparkling spirit stones.

As long as the Zongmen pays enough quantity, they will not care about how much they have left. The old man is good at taking care of the tea trees. It is his hard work for decades to increase the production so much. Even Zongmen does not know how much tea can be produced. Huang The old man with a face can hide it very tightly.

"What I was like when I came, should be what I should be when I leave." The yellow-faced old man sighed, making a gesture to make a move.

Zhang Shiping stopped him, "Don't, Senior Lin."

The old man laughed loudly, "You little cunning, you're kidding me."

If the descendants of the old man have spiritual root qualifications, Zhang Shiping will not be able to do such a good thing at all. Who told the yellow-faced old man to see him pleasing to the eye, so he thought that it happened to be him who took over the Baicao Garden. Let the path of the younger generation go smoothly.

Hearing this, Zhang Shiping deliberately pretended to be relieved, and sold the treasure in front of the old man.

After the two of them finished watching the various tea gardens in Biyuan Mountain, the old man told him in a deep voice that he had to make this second-order spiritual tea by himself, and not pass it on to others.As for the remaining second-class tea and third-class tea that are not popular, they can be handed over to the tea farmers.

After speaking, the yellow-faced old man took Zhang Shiping to the foot of the mountain, where there were about twenty houses.

The yellow-faced old man landed in front of the most gorgeous courtyard, waved his sleeves, and issued a sound transmission talisman.

After a while, there were three old men with gray hair and two middle-aged men and women, and five people came out one after another.

These five people had a vague aura. The white-haired old man was at the third and fourth levels of Qi Refining, and the two young men were only at the second level of Qi Refining.

Lin Zhiqi pointed to the five people in front, "Shi Ping, these five people are the stewards of Baicao Garden, and you can tell them to do any chores."

Then he said to the five people: "This young man is called Zhang Shiping, he has cultivated in the late stage of Qi refining, and he will succeed me as the guardian of the Biyuan Mountain Baicao Garden from now on."

The five saluted quickly, bowed and said: "We pay our respects to Senior Zhang."

If there is no extremely close relationship between monks, they are all judged by their cultivation base. Therefore, Zhang Shiping, a late-stage Qi refining monk, has been called a senior in recent years, regardless of age.

A late qi refining monk who is less than 20 years old in front of an early qi refining monk who is 80 to [-] years old is a senior.There is a sequence in the way, and the master is the teacher.

After Lin Zhiqi explained everything carefully, he left Biyuan Mountain the next day.

That day Zhang Shiping sent him off for three hundred miles, and then he came back.

　Thanks to book friend 20190714234913112 for the suggestion, the first level of Qi training is indeed unreasonable, it has been changed, sorry.
