Regenerate into soil, master life and death at the beginning

Although there are rocks three to five meters below the surface, the deeper the rock is, the tighter and harder the texture of the rock is, but there are still a lot of cracks and holes in the ground, especially the rocks from 20 meters down from the surface to the "end of the horizon". There are many erosive cavities, which are small caves in themselves.

The earth is not a dense and solid whole, and it is filled with a lot of "bubbles".

Jiang Gan wrapped and pushed one of the "bubbles" with his consciousness, and under the influence of his ability to "convert reality into reality", this "bubble" was pushed down more than 50 meters underground by him, and another bigger "bubble" "Fusion, a larger "bubble" was born, and the position of the original "bubble" seemed to have undergone a displacement reaction, and quietly transformed into a solid.

Next, Jiang Gan felt that he had turned into a "dung beetle", and the clusters of underground "bubbles" were the goals he needed to work hard for. They were gathered together little by little, and finally, in the deeper part of the underground river, at a distance from the surface In a deep place of more than 80 meters, an underground cave quietly appeared.

The shape of this underground cave is extremely irregular, without any trace of man-made, and reveals the uncanny workmanship of nature everywhere. Jiang Gan is convinced that unless someone has witnessed the fusion of "small bubbles" into "big bubbles", and the integration of small caves into large caves During the process, there will be no doubts about this underground cave.

When this large underground cave was formed, the small space for planting the "Nine Star Sword Qi Fruit Spirit Grass" hidden inside the rock by Jiang Gan seemed to become a "weight", "falling" straight to the depths of the ground and the direction of the underground cave. go.

Soon, the size of this underground karst cave increased slightly, and more importantly, the fifteen nine-star sword qi fruit spirit grass growing in it were transplanted into this underground karst cave, and there was no abnormality at all. , it seems that it has taken root and "settled" here from the moment it sprouted from the ground.

After transplanting the existing spirit grass, Jiang Gan looked at the "rock core storage warehouse", and there were a large number of spirit grass seeds that he had sealed in the core in the form of such fossils.

"When the next season comes, save some seeds and plant everything else."

Thinking about it like this, Jiang Gan seems to have seen the scene where every year as the sword qi fruit matures, the spirit grass withers and dies quickly, and a large amount of life and death qi escapes, and he collects them all.

Although it can only be harvested once a year, the amount of harvest depends entirely on the size of the "planting". Here, Jiang Gan has no scruples. His ultimate goal is to make this underground cave into a place that can grow as much as possible every year. Provide more "spiritual grass plantations" of life and death.

While sorting out these future plans in his mind, Jiang Gan moved the "core storage warehouse" deeper underground.

It is true that there are many sensitive things inside, especially the crystallization of dead energy, and the roots full of vitality of the Life-devouring Demon Orchid. He dare not let anyone discover the clues now.

In the end, he collected these treasures close to the hard bottom of the turbulent dark river, deep enough from the ground, and concealed enough, so they can be kept safe. It will be washed away without a trace by the turbulent underground river.

After dealing with it in this way, Jiang Gan felt much more at ease.

Chapter 37 Metabolism in 18 years

The 27 sword-shaped leaves on the ninth floor of the fifteen sword-qi fruit spirit grasses have all grown up. The flowering period is approaching, and a small space is created by the dried ginger. In the core of seven or eight meters deep.

Jiang Gan found that the growth of the spirit grass was about 20 days slower than the previous period by comparing the dates recorded by Fanmin.In order to find out the reason behind it, two more strains were divided as the control group.

Sure enough, when the sword qi fruit was fully ripe, the two near the surface were eighteen days earlier than the thirteen in the underground cave.

Counting from the day when the spirit grass seeds broke the ground, there was a delay of nearly forty days.

"It's aura."

"The deeper you go into the ground, the thinner the aura becomes... and the aura is just needed in every growth stage of the Sword Qi Grass. If the aura becomes thinner, the time will naturally have to be extended."

As the spiritual fruit matures, the spiritual grass quickly withers and dies, and a large amount of life and death qi escapes from it, and is directly absorbed by the ginger stem, turning it into a gift for birth.

Although this two qi of life and death is far from a good harvest, it also proves that it is indeed feasible to harvest the two qi of life and death with the "farming method", and the internal motivation for solving this problem is also sufficient.

Looking at the large or small, obvious or hidden rock fissures, and thinking of the way Qinghe Qingyu used the scattered spiritual energy roots to find underground water sources that day, Jiang Gan had an inspiration in his heart.

Rock fissures of different sizes and different appearances were "planted" above the underground cave by him. In his omniscient vision, it was like planting seedlings for a bald underground cave, or an inverted There are special "roots" that grow upward.

Plant roots spread deep underground, because they need underground water sources, while fissure roots spread upward from deep underground, with underground caves as their source, because what they need is a richer aura from above.

This modification has proven to be very effective.

The following year, through comparative observation, although the ripening period of the spiritual fruit was still slightly delayed, it had been shortened to less than ten days.

Ginger Gan made further optimization and adjustments to these fissure roots.

In the third year, the underground cave was filled with aura, and the sword qi fruit spirit grass spread all over the underground cave, and the growth cycle completely returned to normal.

In addition to this, there is another plant, chive grass.Because it does not see the sun all year round, its shape is quite different from that on the surface. There are also several insects that feed on its rhizomes, core leaves, forming a small and independent ecology.

Of course, this is not for embellishment, nor is it superfluous. Its nature is similar to that of extensive tree planting to keep water and soil from being lost, but here it is to keep vitality from being lost, and at the same time, it is also "reasonable".

Although it is very hidden here, it is difficult to be found, but Jiang Gan has to prepare for it in advance.

Once this place is discovered, only the sword qi fruit, a kind of spiritual herb, will make this place look very strange and unreasonable.

Because after the sword qi fruit matures automatically, the spiritual grass seed will fall into dormancy, until the next year when the season of heaven and earth returns to a certain node, it will wake up under the stimulation of appropriate vitality and start a new reincarnation.

After the spiritual fruit matures, the spiritual grass will quickly wither and die, dissipate the two qi of birth and death, the dead qi sinks, and the qi rises upward. Without any attachment, the agile and light qi will soon be exhausted.It will not be kept until the next year just to "awaken" the spiritual grass seeds again.

This is a dead knot, which cannot be explained at all.

But if you add the tenacious and invincible chive grass, everything can be explained.

Then, in order to be more reasonable, Jiang Gan also deliberately "transplanted" several relatively obvious rock fissures to connect with some natural tortuous rock fissures.

Thus……

When the rainy season comes, a large amount of precipitation seeps down through the densely packed rock fissures, and small grass seeds, spiritual grass seeds, and insects are also carried and seeped to the ground.

This is reasonable.

Some of them did not seep into the dark river, but avoided it perfectly, and entered this underground cave along some cracks.

This is also very reasonable.

If the only one who completes this journey is Chivetooth Grass, then this underground cave is nothing special. If only Spirit Grass Seeds pass through these levels, then it is also impossible to have such an underground wonder. It may be very difficult to be an underground wonder, and the probability is so low that it is difficult to reproduce it again in hundreds of millions of years.

But in theory, it makes perfect sense.

"That's all."

From the thinking of those ordinary people, Jiang Gan knew that although this kind of natural underground wonder is rare, it is not without it. There are many more exaggerated than this one, and most of them can be passed down by ordinary people for dozens of years. With hundreds of years of anecdotes and anecdotes, a place like this is simply standard.

That being the case, Jiang Gan believes that for practitioners, this kind of location will only be more common, even if it is really exposed, as long as it is "reasonable and reasonable", it is not worth making a fuss about.

Moreover, even the nine-star sword qi fruit is not of a high grade, and the foundation-building monks don't think much of it, so the qi-training monks will regard it as a treasure.

It's really exposed, and the influence is at most limited to the foundation-building monks.

"Then there's nothing to worry about."

Let's do something drastic!

……

When Jiang Gan focused his energy on the ground, he still did not forget to pay attention to the situation on the surface occasionally. The monthly red dust gas harvest was still his main income. A good "leek field" will not suddenly reduce production or even stop production.

Therefore, it is still a very necessary job to continue to pay attention to its general trend.

Since He Tiezhu led the pioneering team to go deep into the wilderness for the first time, because it is close enough to the settlement, it is convenient to go back and forth for supplies, and because Qingyu and Qinghe have been sitting here for several years, they have plowed all possible hidden dangers over and over again, so , the early progress is very fast, even if everyone is a newcomer with no experience, the development of the [-]-mile route has been completed in the first month.

From the second month onwards, as the distance from the inhabited area got farther and farther away, the development became more and more difficult. In the second month, only [-] miles of route development was completed, which was exactly half of the first month.

Moreover, those players with low cultivation and low stamina are gradually unable to keep up with this long-term high-intensity double consumption of physical and mental energy.

From the third month onwards, a pioneering team expanded to three. Except for the few players with the highest cultivation, the other team members went out for one round and repaired for two rounds. During the repair period, these team members actively participated in the collective labor of repairing the city wall In the process, avoid long-term disconnection from large groups and alienation from each other.

The state of the entire team has improved significantly, and the old and the new are not afraid of lack of experience. However, in order to have more stamina, He Tiezhu followed Liu Shanchang's suggestion and took the initiative to suppress the development progress.

Therefore, from the third month to the sixth month, the monthly progress is ten miles.

Although the speed has slowed down, everyone is in very good condition, and any warrior who can survive this long-term high-intensity consumption will have a significant improvement in cultivation.

From the seventh month onwards, the team that had already carved out 85 miles of the route encountered a real challenge.

A huge, unavoidable swamp lay ahead of the route.

In addition to the difficulty of exploring the road itself, there are also countless poisonous insects. Mosquitoes, snakes, spiders, moths, butterflies... none of them are poisonous, and the distance from the settlement is too far, and it takes nearly half of the time to go back and forth. Time, plus the limitation of not being able to sleep in the wilderness, can only endure a few miles a month.

This situation lasted for half a year.

What broke this deadlock did not come from Pathfinder itself, but happened in the mourning hall.

This is the first time that the functional building built urgently after the two immortal elders left has been put into practical use, and it stopped working in two places at once.

The only "good news" is that the two deceased were not from the more dangerous team that opened the way, but two old people.

This is the first time that people died in the settlement, and two people died at one time. Although everyone was mentally prepared for this, after all, it has been six years since they moved here. When someone is old, it is natural to leave.

But this still makes the atmosphere of the entire settlement dignified.

Driven by He Tiezhu's force, the spirit that had been high for a year also showed signs of depression again.

In this situation, Tong Ziyi and Guo Zhen joined hands for the first time to openly attack He Tiezhu in front of everyone.

Chapter 38 Metabolism in 18 years

He Tiezhu originally thought that he was going to attend a memorial service while he was back for rest, but he didn't expect to encounter a "raid".

Facing the crowd who bowed their heads in silence, Guo Zhen suddenly changed the subject and sighed after mourning the two old people:

"For the elderly at this age, the deepest obsession is returning to the roots of the fallen leaves. Knowing that we can't go back now, if we can get a few words from our hometown, it will be a great comfort."

"Similarly, for an old man of this age, the most unbearable thing is the ups and downs of emotions."

Having said that, he turned his head to look at He Tiezhu, his eyes were as sharp as a goshawk:

"Give him a big hope first, and then smash this hope to the ground, how many old people can endure it?

He Tiezhu, the words you swore at the beginning gave many people hope, but now that a whole year has passed, how long do you want everyone to persist?

Or, you acted that way at the beginning just to take advantage of your feelings and intentions, and you don't care if your high hopes are shattered, right? "

He Tiezhu was dumbfounded. What do you mean, I am responsible for the deaths of the two old people? !

What is the logic? !

"Wait a minute!" He Tiezhu didn't even bother to call "Uncle Guo", and directly interrupted Guo Zhen's continuous cold arrows, saying: "I am as sad as you about the death of the two old people, but this cannot be your unreasonable The reason for attacking and biting me!"

"Reason? I'll give you a reason!"

Guo Zhen snorted coldly:

"In the first two months, you gave everyone a taste of the sweetness, and the progress was gratifying, but since the third month, the entire pioneering team has grown bigger and bigger, but their style has become more and more conservative. It is clear that you can use a lot of strength, but you can only use it. With [-]% or even [-]% effort, you can often accomplish something in two or three months. You dragged it on for half a year, and now a whole year has passed, and you are still in the swamp. Is this the guarantee you swore at the beginning? ?”

He Tiezhu said displeasedly:

"I have explained this matter many times. Acting without sparing any energy, once or twice is fine, who can persist for a long time? Moreover, the safety of the team members cannot be guaranteed at all in long-term fatigue operations!

This irresponsible..."

"This is war! You said it." Tong Ziyi suddenly said, "How can anyone not die in war?"

He Tiezhu sarcastically said: "Hey, because war will kill people, so if you don't kill a few people, it's not a war? If the measures are too good and people don't die, you have to deliberately kill a few people, is that so?"

Facing his irony, Tong Ziyi looked calm and said:

"You talk about responsibility, so let me talk about my responsibility as a leader.

This year, in order to help you achieve success, I almost emptied out many precious resources in my inventory to help you.
