Chapter 879

This was a very happy meal for Xu Guangling.

Spiritual energy surrounds you, fragrance lingers in your nose, and you are facing someone who can communicate professionally.

Although, in the current situation, their communication is limited to:
"Is it tasty?"

"good to eat!"

And so on.

After the meal, Gan Congshi took Xu Guangling for a walk in the medicine garden, which was regarded as digestion.

But this walk is not a random walk, but has a fixed goal.

Gan Congshi led Xu Guangling to the edge of a small soil slope. On the small slope of about ten mu of land, there was only one kind of plant planted everywhere, a kind of tree with less obvious characteristics.

There are big and small.

Big enough to be hugged by one person, small enough to be no bigger than a finger.

"Boy, pull one down and have a look." Gan Congshi said with a mysterious smile.

So Xu Guangling did just that.

Then, he played Errenzhuan very smoothly, and inadvertently, he put the root of the pulled tree close to his nose, and said in surprise: "Senior Gan, this is what we ate just now..."

If Jiantianjing is not asleep.

If only it wasn't so cold.

At this time, it will probably laugh at a certain great master who pretends to be stupid and cute.

"Yes! That's the one!" Gan Congshi stroked his short beard with his hands, and smiled gratifiedly, "Son, let me tell you that a lot of herbs are used for eating. How about it, isn't this delicious?"

"Delicious!" Xu Guangling nodded vigorously.

"This medicinal herb is called 'vetiver tree'." Gan Congshi entered the explanation mode:

"Its root has a clear fragrance and a little sweetness. It can be used to cook soup. Like the one we ate just now, we can use it to stew meat. It can be stewed with any meat. It is delicious."

"You can also use this root alone to cook directly, boil water to drink, drink a bowl every morning, it has the effect of clearing the intestines, warming the body, and replenishing qi."

"Its roots are fragrant, but when it goes up, its branches are bitter, especially bitter, and its bark is not only bitter, but also astringent. The whole mouth is bitter and astringent for a long time, even if I rinse my mouth with water desperately, it can't be relieved."

"What about its leaves?" Xu Guangling shook the sapling in his hand, holding it in a timely manner.

"There is nothing special about the leaves, just like the leaves of other trees." Gan Congshi said.

Xu Guangling nodded.

This is how Xu Guangling's study at Gan Congshi began.

Next, the old and the young worked together to dig a few vetiver trees and bring them back. A large tree with a diameter of about five centimeters, a medium tree with a diameter of about three centimeters, and several vetiver trees with a diameter of two centimeters and one centimeter. tree.

After returning, it was Xu Guangling who did it himself.

First, under the guidance of Gan Congshi, use a small saw to cut off the root of the vetiver tree, leaving only the root.

"Boy, do you see that this is the root of the tree, and this is the trunk. The difference between the two parts is not very obvious, but you can still see a little difference, right?" , Gan Congshi led Xu Guangling to observe carefully.

"Be sure to cut it properly, and don't leave the trunk on the root, otherwise the root will be useless and cannot be used."

"It's also best not to cut too much, because the most useful part of the root is the part closest to the trunk."

This is actually a kind of self-protection of plants, just like putting the most important items or money in a safe.

This tree, because the roots are fragrant and rich in nutrients, is easy to attract ants, so it concentrates nutrients on the upper part of the roots, the part closest to the trunk, and uses this method to protect itself.

Then it has a lot of roots, probably to tell those ants who cannot avoid it, tell them, even if you eat them, eat these roots of mine, don't touch the tap root on it!

Does this count as "giving up money to avoid disaster"?
Gan Congshi said that the leaves of this tree have no characteristics, which is actually wrong, because it is also rich in nutrients.

But the leaves are accompanied by branches and bark. Beasts in the natural world, such as wild sheep and bison, if they want to eat the leaves of this tree, "take a bite", and then they will feel like they have entered a children's paradise. A rollercoaster experience.

The leaves are delicious, better than the leaves of other trees.

but!

Immediately afterwards, Nima, what is this thing?

so bitter!

So astringent!

And the bitterness extends from the branches and bark to the stems and main veins of the leaves!

This is pitting sheep to death.

They would frantically shake their heads, open their mouths and stick out their tongues, and then rush to the small river to drink water desperately, but even if their stomachs were full, they could not relieve the heavy bitterness in their mouths.

So this kind of tree was included in the "grey list" by them.

Unless there are no other leaves to eat, the leaves of this tree cannot be eaten!
In Xu Guangling's view, this is a kind of plant that has evolved quite completely, from its root, to the trunk to the branches, to the bark to the leaves, all of which have been incorporated into a reasonable distribution chain of ingredients.

In this sense, this kind of tree already has a kind of "intelligence".

In other words, it's a smart tree.

But among medicinal herbs, if stars are used to classify them, it can be included in the top five stars.

If this kind of tree is erected on the eye of the Juyuan Juling formation, its upper limit will be very high, and it is very likely that it will be like the lotus in the previous life, from quantity to quality, and then undergo a leaping qualitative change or Mutation.

Using the concept of elixir, this tree can be crafted:

"Peiyuan Dan", to cultivate the yuan and strengthen the foundation, simply take the roots of the tree.

"Xingqi Pill", on the basis of nourishing and invigorating qi, activates qi and blood, and takes its roots and leaves.

"Xishui Dan", combined with other medicinal herbs, makes its medicinal properties go deep into the bone marrow through the qi and blood, and then penetrates the bone to purify the marrow.

……

It can also be extended to many other aspects.

All in all, this "vegetarian root tree" is not only beneficial to ordinary people, but even for practitioners, it is also a kind of panacea-like medicine, which can be widely used in the stages of condensing qi, dredging the veins, and enlightening the mind.

Even after entering the ground, you can use the "Bigu Dan" prepared from this tree to cleanse your body and nourish your body.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Guangling created a detailed file of this vetiver tree in the herb library in his mind, and promoted it as a "principal medicine".

The so-called main medicine, in Xu Guangling's place, is a medicine worthy of being specially cultivated with the eyes of the Juyuan Juling formation. In the previous life, such as ginseng, such as eleuthero, such as licorice, such as lotus, and kiwi among fruits. and dragon fruit etc.

The screen changes to the current scene.

The first step is to cut the roots.

Under Gan Congshi's tireless explanation, Xu Guangling has "learned" how to separate the roots and stems most appropriately.

Then there is cleaning.

There is nothing to say about this step, just wash it directly like washing vegetables, there is no need to pay too much attention, and you are not afraid of scratching, and even those many whiskers can be ripped off in large quantities.

After washing, put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry, not exposed to the sun.

After dealing with these, it is time to return to the house.

At this time, Gan Congshi asked Xu Guangling to paint again, only to paint the vetch root tree.

This time I will paint all of it, its trunk, its bark, its branches, its leaves, and its roots.

When Xu Guangling finished his painting, Gan Congshi handed him a piece of paper that he had just written:

"Vetroot Tree".

"Used in the roots, it strengthens the body and replenishes qi. It can be taken for a long time, and it is of great benefit to practitioners."

"Its branches are bitter and its skin is astringent, causing sore throat and slight poison."

After checking Xu Guangling's new drawing and confirming that there were no mistakes or omissions, Gan Congshi took out another kind of paper from the house, which was obviously formal and relatively high-end.

It was the same paper as an elementary school student's homework book. On one page, two pages on the left and right were made in the best way.

Gan Congshi asked Xu Guangling to draw the shape of the vetiver tree on the left page, and asked him to write that line on the right page.

This is what Gan Congshi taught Xu Guangling, the first medicinal herb.
