The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 61 Spiritual Plant Transplantation
"You don't have to be envious. As long as you show your talent, you still have the chance to be accepted as a disciple by the elders of Yaowang Peak."

Seeing the envious looks of the disciples around him, Master Gu immediately spoke out in a loud voice to comfort them.

His gaze even paused for a moment in Chen Jinshu's direction.

After seeing that the other person had a calm expression and no emotion in his eyes, I felt quite satisfied.

Since ancient times, the fittest have survived. Even if you cannot compare with others, you still have to maintain the dignity you deserve.

At this time, many disciples also looked at Chen Jinshu.

After all, she and this disciple were the only ones given special spiritual seeds by Master Gu last time. Maybe Master Gu would accept her as his disciple.

After seeing Chen Jinshu's calm face, they seemed to be more determined in their thoughts.

After three quarters of an hour, Master Gu finally walked ahead of Chen Jinshu.

"I've cultivated about 60% to 70% of them, which is pretty good. All the standards have been met. But it's still a little short of my expectations. The results are above average. Keep working hard."

"Thank you for your advice, Elder!" Chen Jinshu nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

At this time, the disciples around her saw that her eyes had changed again, and some of the disciples even pretended to be teasing.

I heard that Master Gu already had five disciples before, and with this Qigong disciple, he probably has six disciples in total.

With so many disciples, one more Chen Jinshu wouldn’t be too many, and one less wouldn’t be a problem either.

Chen Jinshu's master was never Gu Zhenren in her heart, so she didn't feel sad at all. After Gu Zhenren left, she immediately put away the potted plants.

Soon, Master Gu finished checking the previous assessments of all the disciples present, and three more disciples were trained to be excellent.

Including the two people before them, they were all rewarded on the spot by Gu Zhenren. This time, each of them received a bottle of elixir for Qi training.

Although there was only one bottle, many disciples still showed envy.

"You all did well this time. Some disciples listened to my advice and changed. I hope you will continue to work hard. Don't be discouraged if you didn't achieve excellence, as there's still a third assessment."

When Master Gu said this, everyone was dumbfounded. The first two times were cultivation and birth-inducing assessments, so what kind of assessment could be next? There was some confusion in their eyes.

"And you will know after listening to my sermon today."

"Today we'll discuss spiritual plant transplanting. While searching for treasure and training, cultivators will inevitably encounter spiritual herbs they desire, but they're not yet mature. This is when spiritual plant transplanting becomes necessary. Immature spiritual plants are transplanted into pots and brought back for cultivation. Alternatively, if spiritual seeds grow crookedly during planting, spiritual plant transplanting is also necessary..."

Chen Jinshu felt more serious when he heard this.

The content of this sermon was exactly what she expected, about transplanting spiritual plants.

There is quite a lot of content involved in the transplantation of spiritual plants. It is not enough to rely solely on the methods in the books in the library. It also requires personal teaching from experienced people, so that the transplantation technique can be more deeply rooted in people's hearts.

As Master Gu spoke, he took out a huge potted plant from his storage bag. Inside was a yellow plum tree that was in full bloom.

"These yellow plums are in full bloom. If you want them to bloom more abundantly next year, when you transplant them..."

It was the first time for Chen Jinshu to see a real person preaching as a demonstration, but it did allow her to witness the real person's transplanting technique.

The whole process was neat and tidy. First, they confirmed the various conditions and properties of the transplanted spiritual plants, as well as the soil conditions in the pots. Then they began pruning the branches...

Three hours passed in a blink of an eye. Master Gu demonstrated the transplanting of nearly twenty kinds of spiritual plants, which was a feast for the eyes for the disciples who came to listen to his teachings.

The spiritual plant notebook in Chen Jinshu's hand also increased by an inch in thickness.

"I have to study it again when I go back this time."

Gu Zhenren also mentioned the transplanting of damaged spiritual plants in his sermon. Generally speaking, it is not recommended to transplant damaged spiritual plants, but if you have to, you don't want to damage the plants again.

At this time, you need to learn an auxiliary technique called Yungenshu.

It can effectively protect the roots or stems of spiritual plants that have been damaged during the transplanting process.

The situation of the spiritual vine is even more serious at this time. The roots have been completely damaged, making it difficult to transplant, or the possibility of performing the transplantation technique is very small.

However, she gained a lot from this sermon.

"The test for this sermon is to transplant spiritual plants. Come to me to draw lots. The paper you receive will contain the spiritual plants that need to be transplanted."

Master Gu once again took out the very familiar cloth bag, and the disciple closest to him stepped forward to take it.

A moment later, Chen Jinshu also drew his own test paper.

"Go to the Green Pine Herb Garden and transplant a green pine tree over fifty years old into a potted plant. Ensure the pine tree is lush and has no signs of root damage."

"That's a bit unreasonable. How can a spiritual plant be transplanted without damaging its roots?"

Especially spiritual tree seedlings with well-developed root systems such as green pine, which may have as many as tens of thousands of roots and a range of several feet.

Moreover, if it is in a medicine garden, the roots may even have extended into other people's spiritual fields.

"The roots are definitely damaged. Master Gu should be testing whether to repair the root system and re-cultivate the branches and leaves." Chen Jinshu couldn't help but think after seeing the contents on the paper scroll.

She also took the opportunity to glance at the assessment contents of the nearby disciples. They were all similar, transplanting spiritual plants with complex root systems, and the requirements were also the same.

The difference is that each disciple transplants different spiritual plants.

"Don't try to cheat like you did last time. I have many informants in the sect. Especially in the herb garden, if you ask someone to help you transplant the plants or if you cheat, you will have to think about the consequences yourself."

After Master Gu put away the cloth bag, he snorted coldly and his expression became serious again.

"Alright~! That's all for today's sermon. The next one will be in March."

Chen Jinshu took note of what he heard.

However, she has decided to go to the medicine garden early to transplant the plants.

Spiritual plants with damaged roots after being transplanted need a certain amount of time to recover. If they are transplanted one month before the sermon begins, one month is simply not enough time for the roots to recover.

As soon as the door of the Medicine King Hall opened, Chen Jinshu left with a group of disciples.

Master Gu in front of the hall wanted to say something, but when he saw her leave, he had to give up.

A moment later, Chen Jinshu arrived at Qingsong Medicine Garden.

I plan to first understand the growth of this green pine and confirm the plants to be transplanted.

After explaining her purpose to the manager of the medicine garden, she was allowed in. After asking many people, she arrived in front of a small green pine forest.

Green pine is a spiritual wood commonly used in the construction of high-end temples in the world of immortal cultivation. It grows quite fast, but it usually takes fifty years to grow ten feet tall.

The largest pine tree in the medicine garden is more than ten feet tall, and the smallest is less than half a foot tall.

At the same time, Master Gu, who was about to leave the Medicine King Palace, suddenly received a message. He took out the token and looked at it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"This kid is quite ambitious. He went to the medicine garden to verify right after he finished preaching. Unfortunately, I only have one disciple this time. Let's see who will come out on top in the end!"
