Xianyu asked

Chapter 44 Bottleneck
This woman is Huaying, she has been going down Qingya Mountain for several days, she has been traveling all night without stopping, and finally arrived at Qingjiang City today.

The city of Yongzhou is also the place where the two factions of Qianjian Chuanyun conspired to hold a martial arts conference and killed people in the Jianghu.

Coincidentally, on the way here, Huaying happened to run into Jie Dao, and she didn't want to meddle in other people's business at first, but who would have thought that the group of thieves would want to set her sights on seeing her passing by.

So, with the knife in hand, he saved shopkeeper Sun's motorcade by the way.From then on, he came into the city in the carriage of Shopkeeper Sun.

"I just don't know where the main helm of the Qianjianyunyun sect is located in the city. It seems that if I want to find out, I have to find the shopkeeper Sun to understand the situation."

Huaying didn't plan to live in Shopkeeper Sun's house at first, because there were so many people, she was worried about attracting unnecessary attention.But after thinking about it, I didn't understand a lot of things when I first came here, and it's not a bad thing to have someone who understands by my side, so I decided to stay and observe the situation first.

However, before that, some things must be planned first.

It would be great if you can find the senior sister smoothly, but if you still can't find it, then you have to prepare for an unexpected situation later, or even fight with the people from Qianjianyunyun.

"In three years, the kung fu has been cultivated to the third level, and it is only a step away from breaking through to the fourth level. However, the bottleneck of the fourth level is too difficult to break, and it seems that taking the previous medicinal herbs will not be too difficult. It works, and it seems that we need to find new alternative herbs."

In the past few years, Huaying has not relaxed her practice, and has been working hard to improve her strength.But now, she must find a way to break through to the fourth level of the cultivation method as soon as possible.

Only by ascending to the fourth floor can one's own strength be raised to a higher level, and only in this way can one increase the chances of winning in the next possible battle.

In fact, Huaying has always been worried in her heart. For some unknown reason, the growth rate of the medicinal materials planted in the jade pendant space has become slower and slower over the past few years.

Just referring to a yellow ginseng, it matures from the first seven days and ten years, to the later fifteen days and ten years, and even the current thirty days and ten years. The speed of slowing down is unimaginable.

For this reason, Huaying did not hesitate to remove all the crops in the jade pendant space, including the only remaining red fruit tree, all the vegetables in the vegetable garden, and some herbs with poor medicinal properties, leaving only the yellow ginseng and Qingzhi leaves. Wait for several good varieties.

Despite this, the growth rate of medicinal herbs is still declining at an unstoppable momentum.

After many experiments and demonstrations by Huaying, she found that the cause of the problem was all due to the loss of soil fertility.

To put it simply, there is no fertilizer in the ground, and the plants can't get enough to eat, so they grow slower and slower.

In fact, Huaying can understand this matter very well. After all, when she was a child, every household in the village would fertilize their fields to increase the grain harvest, and fertilization played a very important role.

For the same two fields, the one that has been fertilized and the one that has not, there is a huge difference in terms of growth rate and yield after maturity.

Therefore, Huaying has always wanted to apply some fertilizer to the half acre of land in her hand, so that the herbs can grow faster.

However, contrary to expectations, no matter what kind of fertilizer is applied, it does not change the reality that the fertility of the land is getting weaker and weaker.Now, the mature medicinal herbs in her hand are getting less and less. If it hadn't been for the stockpiling of a lot in the past few years, I'm afraid it would have been exhausted by now.

With only these remaining, it won't last long.Moreover, the higher the level of cultivation, the effectiveness of these remaining medicinal herbs will gradually decrease.

The fertility of the land, the bottleneck of the practice.

The predicament of the two mountains was on Huaying's shoulders, not to mention the fact that she had to worry about finding her senior sister, which made her extremely worried for a while.

"Hey, it's really hard to plant a field. Why doesn't the fertility I'm looking for work?"

Puzzled, Huaying rubbed her head and sighed endlessly.

It's useless to think so much now, try to break through to the fourth floor as soon as possible, this goal seems to be more realistic for the time being.

Take yellow ginseng and Qingzhi leaves, close your eyes and meditate until noon.

After finishing the last week of the exercise, Huaying breathed out from the bottom of her heart, opened her eyes faintly, and said in frustration:
"The medicinal power of yellow ginseng is too weak, and it can't break through the bottleneck of the fourth floor in a short time."

After all, it was because of her poor aptitude. If her aptitude was a little better, she could easily break through to the fourth level even without taking so many herbs.

Huaying wanted to replace the yellow ginseng a long time ago and replace it with other herbs, but the problem is that Xiqing County is too remote and the population is very sparse, so there is no herbal variety with higher medicinal efficacy, so helpless Under this condition, we can only continue to eat yellow ginseng.

"Boss Sun is in the medicinal material business, so he should know where there are rarer medicinal herb seeds."

Thinking of the identity of the owner here, Huaying thought about it. Now that she has come to Qingjiang City, it is time to change the prescription.

It was already noon, and there was a shout from the servant girl Xiaoru outside the door.

"Miss, the master sent me to call you to the dining hall to have dinner together."

"understood."

Huaying thought it was just in time, she tidied up her clothes immediately, opened the door and went out.

She didn't wear a bamboo hat this time. After all, she was treating guests to dinner, so it seemed very disrespectful to wear a bamboo hat.

Seeing Huaying's face and strange white hair, the little Ru maidservant opened her mouth slightly and said in surprise, "Miss, so you."

"Please lead the way."

Huaying smiled lightly, not paying attention to the surprised look in the other party's eyes.

"good"

After being reminded, Xiaoru collected her expression and hurriedly walked ahead to lead the way.Looking at her flustered expression just now, she didn't know whether she was surprised by Huaying's age or Huaying's appearance.

Huaying has long been accustomed to this.

After winding around several corners and passing through several courtyards full of flowers and plants, the two came to a hall.

This shopkeeper Sun has a lot of money, and the courtyard is very magnificent, not to mention rockery, strange rocks, vines and emerald bamboos.Even the decoration in the hall is unique, there are tables, chairs and benches made of precious wood everywhere, and there are a few calligraphy and paintings hanging in the small dining room, but I don’t know if they were admired during the meal.

Huaying was used to living a hard life in the village and the mountains since she was a child, and it was the first time she saw such a rich and powerful family, with a slight surprise on her face.

Shopkeeper Sun seemed to have been waiting in the dining hall for a long time, when he saw Huaying walking in, he hurried forward to greet her.

"The girl is resting well, is there any place where the servant girl is not entertained well?"

Just like that little Ru maidservant, when seeing Huaying's true face for the first time, shopkeeper Sun seemed to be very surprised.However, he was stable and did not show it directly. The surprise in his eyes flashed, and he still greeted him with a smile on his face.
