814. Edible spirit plants
Some of the wind is blowing.
Nine days to see the weather, the sun was still shining at noon, at the moment the weather was gloomy, I don't know when the heavy clouds drifted.
It was supposed to rain, and his gaze withdrew from the sky and landed on a pile of fallen leaves a few meters away.
"Do you see the sand fold fungus over there, go collect it. Jiutian continued to instruct Chen Ziping. The little fat man has now been completely reduced to a little assistant for nine days, and he does not hesitate to carry out his orders.
To be able to participate in such a party, it is impossible to say that Chen Ziping does not have his own pride, but again, he quickly discovered the gap between himself and Jiutian. For example, at this moment, the pile of fallen leaves in front of him didn't seem to have anything surprising in his eyes, but Jiutian keenly discovered the existence of morels.
"How do your eyes look?" Chen Ziping exclaimed again, and with the mentality that maybe Jiutian was wrong this time, he lifted the fallen leaves.
However, the four wrinkled canopies proved the correctness of the nine days. It's not that Chen Ziping can't see Jiutian well, it's just that in the past few hours, Jiutian has almost never made a mistake, just like a large, accurate scanner, nothing can escape his eyes. He just hoped that Jiutian would make a mistake even once, so that it wouldn't seem that the gap between him and Jiutian would be so big.
If it was placed in normal times, Jiutian might still take care of Chen Ziping's emotions, but he didn't want to be a stepping stone for Tai Jianbai's arrogance, so naturally he didn't have the extra energy to take care of Chen Ziping's emotions.
"It's actually quite simple. Jiutian still made an excuse, "If you know enough about this fungus, the fungus generally grows under the forests of pine, bang, oak and other trees, especially in the old apple orchard, and the ash and scorched wood of the apple tree are the best nutrients for the fungus." This tree is an apple tree, and the soil on the ground is black soil, which is the best environment for the fungus to grow. ”
Jiutian is very good at explaining this way now, and it is always correct to extrapolate the cause backwards based on the results.
This explanation once again brought Chen Ziping's exclamation, "How did you remember so much knowledge?"
"...... you"
"Okay, okay!" Chen Ziping raised his hand in a gesture of surrender, "If I put my energy into reading the goddess, I would be so knowledgeable, right? I'm sorry big brother, I shouldn't be too talkative!"
Jiutian shrugged his shoulders with a mischievous pleasure, searching the mountains and forests was a boring activity, and he had to find fun for himself, and this pleasure could only be obtained from the little fat man.
In fact, in the mountains and forests, the amount of ordinary food is relatively large, and the number of spiritual plants that can be eaten directly is very small.
So far, six hours have passed, and 24 types of food have been found in nine days, including wild vegetables, nuts, fungi, and fruits. These are foods that are confirmed to be edible, and it is unrealistic to use them to differentiate yourself from others.
After all, even if it is Chen Ziping, he also recognizes these things, the only problem is whether he can find them, maybe for others, he may not be able to find them all, but he believes that Tai Jianbai is completely impossible to make mistakes in this regard.
Therefore, if you want to really win the first place, Jiutian feels that you still have to focus on the edible spirit plant itself. This is the test of a spirit planter's true strength. If you only need to search for ordinary edible plants, then this test becomes a real test of survival, which is not Shi Jinchuan's purpose.
Regarding edible spirit plants, Jiutian certainly knew the same, and for cultivators in various industries, if they could consume this for a long time, it would of course be very beneficial. The docile aura contained in edible spirit plants can well ensure their state and strength. The edible spirit plants that can be purchased on the market are very expensive.
For example, ordinary rice only costs a few yuan to more than a dozen yuan per catty, but the crystal rice containing aura is sold in two, and one or two costs several hundred yuan. The high price is prohibitive for many people. But people who also have a solid family background will give preference to edible spiritual plants.
Jiutian himself actually didn't pursue this aspect, because in terms of taste, there was not much difference between top-grade rice and crystal rice, what mattered was the aura contained in it, and his demand for this aspect was not strong. Moreover, in order to ensure the maximum utilization of aura, many edible spiritual plants place great emphasis on cooking techniques. This has led to a lot of spirit plants that don't taste very good.
If it is used as a metaphor, it is probably the difference between a light salad and a normal diet. Everyone knows that eating a vegetable salad is good for the body, but few people will really fall in love with this food.
There are only three kinds of edible spirit plants found in Jiutian so far, green glaze fruit, Xia Xian mushroom, and meat spirit vegetable.
The green glazed fruit is a green and translucent fruit, about the size of a jujube, and grows on a green glazed shrub. Jiu Tianzhi found two, just one with Chen Ziping. It is a white fungus with a faint glow from the lid of the umbrella that grows in the crevices of damp rocks. Meat is a kind of spiritual plant that parasitizes on the trunk of a tree, which can be disguised as the bark of a tree, but after picking, it turns into a pink and tender color similar to raw meat.
There is only one Xia Xian Mushroom and Meat Spirit Vegetables, Chen Ziping didn't ask for it, anyway, as long as he can get the first place in nine days, he is not in danger of being humiliated by Tai Jianbai.
"Let's go, there's nothing we need here. Jiutian beckoned Chen Ziping to leave.
Shi Jinchuan had previously demarcated the range they could search, with a diameter of about ten kilometers around the camp, beyond which the watch could not be accurately located. If the circle is drawn around the camp and the cross is divided into equal parts, the place where Nine Days has searched so far is the entire east side of the camp, as well as the southwest direction, and now he is going to search the northwest direction.
Three edible spirit plants had been harvested in the three areas, and Jiutian wondered if it would be a coincidence, but he felt that it was most likely arranged. Perhaps in the northwest region, there is a fourth spirit plant.
When I went back, I passed by the camp, and several young people came up to me, and when they saw the two of them, they immediately changed their faces, and hurriedly walked around as if they were avoiding the plague, as if they were afraid that they would have something to do with the two of them.
"Brother, there's no need!?" Chen Ziping was indignant and grabbed a boy's arm.
"Don't scream! Who is a brother with you!" The boy hurriedly shook off Chen Ziping's palm and leaned towards his companion's side, "Who let you offend Brother Jianbai, I don't want to be unlucky!"
"Tai Jianbai is not your son, is it necessary to be so afraid of him?" Jiutian was both angry and funny.
