Becoming a god starting from the weasel

And who else could it be but the little red fox? Before long, the little red fox quickly came to Chen Yang and spat out a mouthful of something.

A thick root covered in wet mud lay on the ground, resembling ginger in shape, only smaller in size, with its accompanying leaves tattered and broken.

After spitting out the root, the little red fox spoke. "Brother Chen Yang, is this what you wanted?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang bent down to examine it closely and realized that it was not ginger at all, but a poorly developed wild Solomon's seal.

"How did you find it? Did you go deep into the mountains?"

Chen Yang was curious and puzzled that the little red fox had returned with the medicinal herb Huangjing after disappearing for half a month.

The little red fox shook its head and explained, "I was planning to come find you this morning, but on the way I saw a rabbit munching on grass under a big tree."

"That herb is very similar to the elixir you described before."

"After I killed the rabbit, I dug out the remaining roots and stems."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang couldn't help but smile. The little red fox then licked its lips, looking quite greedy.

"Raw food is too bland and unpalatable, so I came back specifically to get some cooked food."

"Big brother, let's stew that rabbit for lunch." It hadn't had cooked food for half a month and was already craving it.

"A rabbit? But you only brought back Solomon's seal."

The little red fox then suddenly remembered that he had left the rabbit behind because it was difficult to bring it along!

Fearing that its prey would be snatched away by wild animals in the mountains, the little red fox once again darted into the dense forest.

Chen Yang chuckled helplessly, then turned his gaze back to the Polygonatum on the ground, a slight thought stirring in his heart.

This is ginger-shaped Solomon's seal, also known as tiger ginger or mountain ginger. It grows mostly in the mountains and forests of the south, and I didn't expect to find it here.

Although the Polygonatum plant in front of me was badly damaged by the rabbits and looked terrible, it was not completely dead and there was still a possibility of it surviving.

Chen Yang closed his eyes and focused his inner energy on his dantian, gazing at the wisp of emerald green spiritual liquid sealed within, and made a plan in his mind.

  

With the rainy season nearing its end and the soil at the right moisture level, it's the perfect time to transplant Solomon's seal plants; it's definitely worth a try.

He took a sickle and carefully examined the root and stem buds, finding six intact and plump buds. He then divided the whole piece of Solomon's Seal into six pieces of different sizes.

He then carefully applied wood ash to seal all the cuts to prevent rotting. After that, he picked up his hoe and headed to the half-acre medicinal herb field behind the house.

Chen Yang dug six shallow holes in the medicinal herb field and carefully transplanted the Solomon's Seal seed pieces into the soil one by one.

Looking at the chips and scars covering the seed tuber, he couldn't help but frown slightly: "Can such damaged roots really survive and sprout?"

After thinking for a while, Chen Yang scooped up a bamboo tube of stream water and dripped it into the spiritual liquid in his dantian.

The moment ordinary mountain spring water is mixed with the spiritual liquid, it instantly exudes a rich and vibrant vitality.

Chen Yang was worried that the medicinal power of the spiritual liquid would be too strong and cause the soil moisture to be too high, so he dared not sprinkle too much, and only lightly watered a circle of spiritual water around the roots of each planting block.

The moment the spiritual water hit the ground, the previously withered and lifeless Solomon's Seal seed stalks broke through the skin and sprouted tender green shoots, with immediate and remarkable effects!

Chen Yang was overjoyed and immediately watered the remaining five planting blocks with spiritual water.

All six damaged Solomon's seal plants sprouted new shoots, full of vitality, an effect far exceeding any top-grade fertilizer he had ever seen in his previous life.

Looking at the remaining spiritual water in the bucket, Chen Yang secretly marveled at the wonder of this spiritual liquid.

The elixir was incredibly effective at growing amaranth, and its effects are now much milder when used to cultivate medicinal herbs, which makes perfect sense.

Amaranth is just a common wild vegetable, while Solomon's seal is a proper Chinese medicinal herb. Their origins are different, so it's normal for them to have differences.

In his previous life, he had seen wild Solomon's Seal that had survived for hundreds of years in the old Chinese medicine shop. It was as precious as century-old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, and was the shop's true signature medicine.

Perhaps by continuously nourishing it with spiritual liquid, I can cultivate such a peerless spiritual herb to aid my cultivation?

With this thought in mind, Chen Yang specially added two ladles of spiritual water to the first Solomon's seal plant to sprout.

The first addition caused some unusual growth, but then it stabilized, with branches and leaves growing steadily to about a foot long, and then it stopped growing rapidly.

It takes at least three to five years for commonly cultivated Solomon's Seal to mature and be harvested.

However, with the blessing of spiritual liquid for cultivation, in three to five years, these artificially cultivated Polygonatum may well rival the century-old spiritual medicine.

Thinking of this, Chen Yang suddenly felt enlightened, and the path of cultivation finally had a more secure way forward.

He poured the remaining spiritual water in the bucket into the leek field next to him before Chen Yang stopped.

Then Chen Yang focused his mind and looked inward at his dantian. There were now thirty-one strands of spiritual energy, each as thick as a hair, entwined in his dantian, and his breathing was steady.

For the past two weeks, he has been eating amaranth watered with spiritual liquid every day. Apart from filling his stomach, he has not seen any increase in his cultivation level. He can only rely on absorbing moonlight at night to slowly cultivate.

His foundation and aptitude were originally ordinary. Even with his skillful breathing techniques, he could only absorb a little more moonlight than before, and his progress was slow.

The Hun Tian Zhu spirit crystal is extremely rare, with only one crystal produced per year. However, now there is Huang Jing, which can be cultivated in a cyclical manner.

With the aid of Huangjing in my future cultivation, my cultivation speed will surely improve significantly.

At this moment, Chen Yang finally felt a genuine sense of anticipation for his future path of cultivation.

Just as he was pondering matters of cultivation, a light, cheerful sound came from the mountains and forests.

The little red fox, dragging a plump, snow-white rabbit, nimbly leaped down from the forest and excitedly ran to the front of the yard.

"Brother Chen, let's have this rabbit for lunch!"

In the afternoon, beside the stone steps of the vegetable garden outside the courtyard, Chen Yang took out two bamboo tubes from the kitchen.

The bamboo tube contains freshly roasted rabbit, its aroma filling the air, and it is garnished with finely chopped wild ginger and fresh scallions.

As soon as the bamboo tube hit the ground, the little red fox couldn't wait to devour it.

Rabbit meat is light and low in oil, and not particularly fatty, but it tastes exceptionally sweet and satisfying to him.

"Brother Chen Yang's cooking is still the best!" The little red fox tore off a large piece of rabbit meat and exclaimed indistinctly.

While eating, Chen Yang casually asked, "Where have you been wandering around for the past two weeks?"

He was concerned about the whereabouts of the little red fox, and also wanted to learn about the environment and activities of the Black Wind Mountains.

The little red fox swallowed the meat in its mouth and replied truthfully, "I just wandered around and played on a few nearby hills and didn't find anything special."

"But if I find that medicinal herb in the future, I will definitely bring it to my elder brother as soon as possible!"

After taking a bite of rabbit meat, the little red fox immediately relaxed, its ears even turning into airplane ears, its happiness was palpable.

Chen Yang looked at its lazy and carefree appearance, shook his head helplessly, and then asked, "How is your cultivation progressing?"

The little red fox looked a little embarrassed upon hearing this and scratched its fluffy head. "I barely managed to gather two strands of spiritual energy."

"Half a month? You only managed to cultivate a wisp of spiritual power?" Chen Yang chuckled.

The little red fox's talent was actually stronger than his, but now his cultivation speed was even slower. It was obvious that the little guy only slept soundly at night and was too lazy to meditate and cultivate.

The little red fox coughed lightly and said frankly, "Big brother, my life goal is to eat, drink, and have fun. Cultivation is too boring, and I have no interest in studying it."

As soon as it finished speaking, its eyes darted around, and it asked with a hint of cunning, "Then what about you, big brother? You've been working so hard cultivating and farming, what is it that you really want?"

Chen Yang paused, lost in thought for a moment. He had died suddenly and transmigrated here alone.

For the past month, I've been farming and practicing spiritual cultivation day after day. Life has been peaceful and quiet, yet stable and fulfilling.

After a moment, he looked up at the distant mountains and flowing clouds, and chuckled softly, "My goal is perhaps to transform this mountainous region into a paradise on earth."

"When my cultivation is complete, I will become a carefree immortal in this world."
