I am immortal with scientific thinking

Chapter 17 Medicine Garden Handover
The sky is the golden morning sun, and the midsummer vegetation is more abundant in the warm wind of the morning sun.

Pass through the mist that has not dispersed in the early morning, along the mottled bluestone path, and keep moving forward amidst the crisp birdsong.

Soon, after a few jumps with a little tiptoe, Lin Chen came to the foot of a hill.

At the bottom of the mountain is a lush forest, and the dense forest is all over the mountain pass, and there is no way to go forward.

No. C and No. [-] medicine garden is located on a hill, but there are corresponding restrictions set up by some sects around the medicine garden to prevent other disciples from breaking in.

"The sixth tree at the end of the road... one, two... five, six, what the hell, isn't there a tree man here?!"

According to the old man on duty, Lin Chen looked for the guardian of the formation, but he never expected that when he came to the corresponding position, what he saw was not an ancient tree in the sky, but a big pit five meters long and three meters wide!
"What's going on? Could it be that the watchman was poached?" Just as Lin Chen was in doubt, a cough suddenly came from his ears.

"Ahem, boy..."

"Who?!" Lin Chen's eyes were fixed, and he took out the defensive spirit weapon from the storage bag in an instant, and at the same time, his body was filled with true energy, and countless transparent and imperceptible spiritual threads quickly spread out from the body and spread all over the surroundings.

When encountering an unknown situation, immediately take measures to protect yourself. This is the caution that Lin Chen must possess to survive in this world!
"Ahem, little friend, don't be nervous, it's me."

Lin Chen immediately followed the prestige, and saw not far away, a lush and lush tree bathed in the sun, with a brown human face protruding from the tree.

"Old tree?!" Lin Chen immediately recognized the creature in front of him.

It takes ten years to grow trees, but a hundred years to grow people.This sentence was a metaphor in the previous life, but it is a reality in Qing Yunzong in this world.

Under the influence of Qing Yunzong's grand array and monks' cultivation methods, every spirit tree that has reached a hundred years will give birth to unique spiritual wisdom, and even have the cultivation base of the qi refining period.

A thousand-year-old spiritual tree is enough to be comparable to a monk in the foundation period, and a spiritual tree that is more than 3000 years old can even compete with Jindan!
And these spirit trees can not only be used to defend the sect, but because they cannot be bought by outsiders, they also guard some key positions of Qingyun sect, such as the medicine garden that is responsible for supplying the cultivation resources of the whole sect.

"Uh... Old Shu, how did you get there?" Lin Chen hesitated for a moment and asked aloud.

"Oh, it's not that the sun doesn't shine much in that place, so I moved here to bask in the sun. You can also understand the need for us old people to have sunshine."

The corner of Lin Chen's mouth twitched, of course he understood, but the question is, how did you move a tree by yourself? !
"Shu Lao, I want to activate the formation and enter the medicine garden." Lin Chen didn't get too entangled in this issue, but directly explained the purpose of coming.

"Okay." The old voice of the big tree echoed, and the old face on the trunk gradually disappeared.

But the ground under his feet soon trembled. Under Lin Chen's somewhat surprised gaze, all the branches of this talking tree slowly gathered to the main trunk.

In the cracked soil on the ground, countless roots drilled out from the ground, and the thin roots tightly hugged the main root, and together with the thick main root, they emerged from the soil.

Like an earthquake, Lin Chen, whose footing was unstable, watched as he got out of the soil. The main root thicker than his waist pushed the whole big tree into the air. Move slowly on the ground.

"Wow!"

With the swaying of the leaves on the canopy, the big tree pushed up by the main root moved faster and faster.

These thick roots walked into the big pit little by little with the crown above them, and sat down directly.

Under the big pit is the spiritual vein node of the entire medicine garden. Only when the spirit tree is located here can the defensive formation of the entire medicine garden be activated or even changed!
"This... is this okay?" Lin Chen stared blankly at the side. The tree can talk, and he has accepted it, but this kind of tree can run away, which is the first time he has seen it.

"Token." Dashu's old voice echoed again.

"Huh? Oh." Lin Chen came back to his senses, quickly took out the token, pressed it on the tree, and immediately, it was firmly attached to it.

Suddenly, an emerald green aura flashed on it.

"Identity confirmation, correct identification, and authorization." Dashu's old voice echoed around again.

The medicine garden and other places are important places of the sect, and it is impossible to give the disciples the authority token of the guardian formation casually, and the guardian must confirm twice before granting the authority to enter and exit.

"The formation is activated." As soon as the voice fell, the surrounding forest scene, like ripples on the water surface, produced slight ripples, and then, the entire forest began to twist, and after a certain point, there was a sudden pause, and it dissipated directly , forming a trail leading to the mountain!
Obviously, this long and boundless forest is all a virtual image caused by illusions. If you enter without a token, you can besiege ordinary monks in the Qi refining period to death!
"Thank you for the old tree." Lin Chen saluted and entered directly.

"Hey, wait..." The face on the tree trunk reappeared, obviously wanting to say something, but Lin Chen had already walked away.

"Oh, the young people nowadays don't know how to be filial to the elderly, that's all, that's all, let's continue to bask in the sun..."

With a sound of emotion, the big tree shrank again, obviously, it was going to move back to its original place and continue to bask in the sun.

And in the medicine garden.

Lin Chen didn't go far, looked up, and the whole situation in the garden came into view.

Terraces!

Even though he saw it more than once, Lin Chen still couldn't help admiring it.

There are dotted terraced fields in front of you, one after another, layer upon layer, with different shapes. Under the sun or in the morning light, they are like silver ribbons twinkling in the mountains and fields, like heaven and earth!
Each field in the terraced fields is even more lush and lush, with many familiar or unfamiliar herbs planted by Lin Chen, as well as some plants that look strange. In the faint spiritual mist in the morning, there is an indescribable aura.

If ordinary people live in such a place, it is no problem to prolong their lives and live a long life. Even immortals living here will have great benefits.

And the most striking thing is the giant tree on the top of the mountain.It is more than ten feet high and covers a very wide area. The green leaves on it are verdant, and the whole body exudes a strong vitality.

And in Lin Chen's induction, the giant tree in front of him was restrained by the formation in the medicine garden, and the aura of the earth's veins blended with each other, as if they were alive, continuously infusing the aura of heaven and earth and the vitality of the earth's veins into the elixir of the medicine garden!

This is a must-have formation in every medicine garden of the Qingyun Sect——[Jiamu Yunsheng Great Formation]!
It can not only speed up the growth of the elixir in the medicine garden, but at critical moments, it can also be connected with Qingyunzong's protective formation [Jiamu Qingtian large formation] to resist invading enemies!

Even though he saw it more than once, Lin Chen couldn't help being shocked by the size of the medicine garden in front of him.

Before entering the medicine garden, he always thought that the so-called medicine garden was just a few fields next to a house, no matter how big it was, it was no more than a field.

But I never thought that Qing Yunzong directly designated a mountain as a medicine garden!

Such a large scale really shocked Lin Chen, but after thinking about it carefully, it is not incomprehensible.

After all, Qingyun Sect had to supply tens of thousands of disciples with the elixir needed for their cultivation, and the refining of each elixir cost a lot of medicinal materials. Based on this calculation, how could the medicine garden be just a few fields?

"Huh?" Just as Lin Chen sighed, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared on the token.

"Is this, communicating with the disciples stationed here?"

Sure enough, after a while, an outer disciple who was also wearing a white robe hurried over. This man was about 30 years old, tall and fair-skinned, with a shrewd face, like a businessman, and his cultivation had reached cyclone environment.

"My surname is Li Mingyuan. It's not yet time to hand over the chores in the medicine garden. The younger brother is too impatient, isn't it too early?"

Um?Lin Chen frowned slightly, and he could hear the obvious worry from his tone.

After thinking about it, Lin Chen quickly understood that this position is quite lucrative, and the other party must not be very willing to hand over this position.

"Senior Brother, I just came here in advance to learn about my duties, and will not disturb my work." Lin Chen thought for a while and replied.

"I know that senior brother has a strong sense of responsibility, but the sect stipulates that any position cannot be held consecutively. I hope senior brother can understand." Lin Chen first stated that he would not affect his behavior of earning money, and then that he was a member of the sect. stipulations shall not be violated.

Li Yuan's face turned ugly.He knew what Lin Chen said was right.

In order to prevent the following disciples from turning the lucrative position into their own, the Zongmen specially formulated regulations that the position is not allowed to be re-elected, and must be handed over every six months, otherwise, he would have turned this position into his pocket.

'Well! '

Li Yuan's face was uncertain, and he finally sighed.

"Come with me!" He flicked his sleeves, motioned for Lin Chen to follow, turned and walked away.

Lin Chen's eyes moved slightly, and he followed him into the room.

Li Yuan led Lin Chen forward.At this moment, many monks on the hill were already working in the medicine garden, either watering the spiritual plants or picking elixir.

When he came to the corresponding labor place, Li Yuan turned around.

"You should be clear about the mission of this position, so I don't need to say more?" Li Yuan glanced at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen nodded.

The position he currently holds is the link between the medicine garden and the Dantang, responsible for transporting the medicinal materials to the Dantang, and counting the amount of medicinal materials consumed by the Dantang.

Originally, it was the responsibility of the disciples serving in the alchemy hall to count the consumption of medicinal materials.

But 30 years ago, there was an only son of a monk in the Foundation Establishment period who occupied a status. During his tenure, he corrupted nearly half of the medicinal materials in the alchemy hall, and resold them into spirit stones for his own consumption.

After the incident came to light, the Jindan patriarch in the sect was furious. Regardless of the pleadings of the foundation-building cultivator, he slaughtered a group of people headed by his only son, in order to maintain the authentic sect's ethos.

And after the fact, it was ordered that the consumption of medicinal materials in Dantang should be counted by the disciples of the medicine garden, in order to avoid corruption by the subordinates in this way.

But ideals are ideals. In reality, it can only be said that there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. This kind of thing will still happen, but it is still a lot restrained, and I dare not go too far.

"You can come in and out of the medicine garden as you like, but every time you go out, you must leave the token with the guard to avoid losing it when you go out."

"Every time the medicinal materials are transported, the sect will send a specific dandelion to come... Also, watch out for those handyman disciples and don't let them do anything. You must know that the quantity of medicinal materials is required."

"Finally, and most importantly, enough is enough every time, don't be too greedy." At the end of the order, Li Yuan said something meaningful.

"Follow senior brother's orders." Lin Chen responded.

After the handover was over, Li Yuan absentmindedly exchanged some polite words with Lin Chen, then cupped his hands and bid farewell.

Looking at his back in the distance, Lin Chen's eyes moved.

As long as you act cautiously, restrain your greed, and only take a dozen or dozens of medicinal herbs, it will be inconspicuous among the tens of thousands of medicinal materials consumed by Dantang.

And these medicinal materials, together with tens of thousands of spirit stones, are enough to continue my research on the 3.0 version of Yanghunxiang...
