Chapter 579 - Harvesting Medicine

"By the way, I forgot to ask, but how do you use the treasures?" Yuan asked Senior Li after he returned from putting away the treasures.

"Well, you can consume the ginseng or use it to make medicine. As for the jade slip, you simply absorb the spiritual energy within," he said.

"I see…"

Sometime later, Yuan and the others left the Li Family's living quarters.

"Li Jinxi, show them the way to the Hong Family. We also need to restock our medicine." Senior Li said to her.

"I understand."

Thus, Li Jinxi led them to the Hong Family.

"Hm? Daoist Yuan? What brings you to the Hong Family?" Senior Hong asked him, feeling pleasantly surprised by his presence.

"Hello. I'd like to temper my body, but I don't know where to get the medicine required for it, and the Li Family recommended that I speak with your family." Yuan said.

"I see. You came at the perfect time. Our family is currently harvesting this month's medicine supply," Senior Hong said.

"Harvesting?" Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"So you grow your own medicine?"

"Yes. Follow me."

Senior Hong then led Yuan and the others to a few miles behind their living quarters, where a large medicine farm was located.

"Wow…" Yuan mumbled, feeling awed from the medicine farm that stretched to the horizon.

"Every month, we harvest around 100 kilos of medicine from this place." Senior Hong said.

"How does it work? Farming medicine, that is." Yuan asked.

"It's quite simple, actually. We pour a special liquid into the soil and wait until it grows."

"A special liquid?"

"Yes. The liquid is a mixture of other medicine, but that's not even the most important part. In order to grow these medicine, we need a special kind of soil that can only be found in areas with a dense amount of spiritual energy. Without the soil, the medicine will die before they are ready for harvest."

"Would you like to try planting some? After harvesting, we obviously need to plant more." Senior Hong suddenly asked him.

"Of course!" Yuan eagerly nodded.

After watching the medicine being harvested for a couple of minutes, Yuan asked, "Do we need to do anything special when we harvest them?"

"No. You simply cut the leaves off the stem before pulling out the stem so that we can plant more."

"Here, let me show you."

Senior Hong then harvested a few medicines before Yuan and the others.

"Want to give it a try?" He then handed Yuan a pair of scissors.

"Yes."

Yuan accepted the scissor and began harvesting the medicine.

"You're right. It's very easy."

About an hour later, when the harvesting was completed, Senior Hong handed Yuan a bottle of green liquid and said to him, "Watch me."

He then used his own bottle and dripped a single drop of its liquid onto the soil before him. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}
