I am Shennong, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 66
The growth period of Tielihua can reach thousands of years.

A mature iron pear tree, the root system can even cover thousands of acres, and the root system can reach a depth of 5000 meters.

In order to shorten the growth period, Tang Fei used his aura to stimulate the growth of these iron pear trees.

I saw that Tang Fei came to an iron pear tree and stretched out his hands to touch the trunk.

Then run the "Shen Nong Jing", and pour the muyuan spiritual energy in the dantian into the iron pear tree through the palms of both hands.

Soon, this small sapling, which was only one foot high, grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After about 10 minutes, it has grown into a mature tree with a height of more than six meters. The trunk has grown from the small bamboo stick to the thickness of the mouth of a bowl.

The canopy can cover an area of ​​nearly [-] square meters, with luxuriant branches and leaves, full of vitality.

The whole body of this iron pear tree is pitch-black, and the leaves are about one finger long and as heavy as iron. As the wind blows, there are bursts of "clinking" iron plates.

Tang Fei picked off a leaf at random.

I found that the leaf was extremely heavy, like a piece of iron.

The leaves are very hard, and the leaves are broken when they are pulled hard by hand.

"Identify!"

Tang Fei activated his plant identification eye to identify the iron pear flower leaf.

[1 iron pear flower leaf, oval-shaped leaf surface, 6.2CM long, 3.5CM wide, 67.1G in weight, no exchange value! 】

A single leaf weighs more than one or two pounds, and a handful of leaves picked at will weighs several catties.

Tang Fei picked off a basket of Tielihua leaves and handed them to Mao Tiezhu.

"Tie Zhu, this is the leaf of the iron pear tree, which is rich in iron. Can you see if it can be used to make iron?"

Mao Tiezhu was smelting iron ore at this time, and seeing Tang Fei carrying a basket of leaves, he couldn't help but bewildered.

And when Tang Fei asked him to make iron with leaves, he was even more puzzled.

Mao Tiezhu put down the work at hand, and grabbed a handful of leaves in the frame.

The next moment, that face immediately changed color.

"So heavy! Is this really a leaf?"

Tang Fei looked puzzled when he saw Mao Tiezhu, and explained: "This is the leaf of the iron pear tree, which is rich in iron. Try to see if you can use it to make iron!"

"Oh! That's good! I'll try it!" Mao Tiezhu took a handful of leaves with both hands and roasted them in the charcoal fire of the furnace beside him.

Not long after, there was a smell of burnt trees.

Then, I saw that the leaves began to turn red like hot iron.

Because these leaves are thinner, they are more susceptible to heat.

Soon, the handful of leaves melted into a ball of molten iron, which rolled down from the bottom of the furnace.

The bottom of the furnace is deliberately designed as a small slope, and at the exit is a pool of three meters square and one meter deep.

After the melted molten iron rolled down the pool, it cooled down rapidly, making a sound of piercing water, and a cloud of water vapor rose.

And the molten iron that rolled into the pool condensed into iron beads after being cooled by the pool.

Then Mao Tiezhu took out a long-handled colander from the side and fished it out from the bottom of the pond.

He scooped up the small iron ball that had just sunk to the bottom of the pool.

Immediately, Mao Tiezhu poured these iron beads into the palm of his hand and carefully identified the color.

Mao Tiezhu is an experienced blacksmith. From the color and weight of the surface of these iron beads, he can roughly judge the quality of these iron beads.

I saw that Mao Tiezhu suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed.

"Great! This is the best quality pig iron I've ever seen! After a little tempering, you can forge refined iron."

Mao Tiezhu's palms were trembling slightly.

Immediately continued: "Master, where did you get this kind of leaves! Do you have any more?"

Tang Fei nodded, "You can have as many leaves as you want!"

Seeing Mao Tiezhu's surprised expression, Tang Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Mao Tiezhu continued: "Master, the iron content of this leaf is too high! You only need to melt it, and you can basically get excellent quality iron!"

"And judging from my experience, if the refined iron obtained by melting these leaves is at least better than the refined iron I obtained from rough iron!"

Immediately, Tang Fei led Mao Tiezhu to the iron mine behind the village.

At this time, iron pear flowers were planted all over the iron mine.

Yesterday, Mao Tiezhu personally came to the iron mine and organized the villagers to carry the iron ore down the mountain.

But overnight, it was discovered that the iron mine, which was an open wasteland yesterday, was now covered by a dense forest.

Immediately, the whole person froze in place, and the two accompanying subordinates also froze.

"Master, I remember that this place was still a barren mountain yesterday, but today there are so many big trees growing. Are these all your masterpieces?"

Tang Fei nodded, "That's right, I planted these iron pear flowers myself!"

Mao Tiezhu was shocked.

Immediately remembered that Tang Fei had personally demonstrated in front of him the process of turning a seed into a fairy grass.

It was only then that I suddenly realized.

"Master, could it be that the leaves you gave me just now were picked from these trees?"

Tang Fei continued to nod, "The leaves and branches of these iron pear trees can be used to make iron, so you don't have to work hard to transport the iron ore down the mountain in the future! You can send people to pick as many leaves as you need. Just do it!"

After seeing Tang Fei's many miraculous fairy arts, Mao Tiezhu's heart was shocked.

Tang Fei's magical powers of immortality are much stronger than the 'evil way' he met back then.

I couldn't help but secretly rejoice that I was able to meet Tang Fei, which was a blessing from my previous life.

The thoughtful Mao Tiezhu knelt down on his knees towards Tang Fei.

He kowtowed and said, "Master, please accept my son as a disciple! We, father and son, are willing to spend the rest of our lives as cows and horses to repay you!"

Immediately, he took his son Mao Tiedan's hand and knelt down to Tang Fei.

Tang Fei looked at the expectant Mao Tiezhu, and then at the bewildered Mao Tiedan.

Suddenly he sank down, touched the back of Mao Tiedan's head, and asked:
"Tie Dan, do you want to become a fairy teacher?"

Mao Tiedan nodded heavily, showing a resolute expression.

"Enen! Yes, of course I am willing! I want to become a powerful fairy teacher like Big Brother!"

Tang Fei continued to ask: "Then why do you want to become a fairy teacher?"

Mao Tiedan thought for a moment, and said decisively: "I want to become a fairy teacher like you, big brother, and help more people who are as difficult as me and Dad."

The little guy doesn't understand the truth, but he has a heart of innocence deeply rooted in his heart. Since he was a child, he has learned how to repay kindness and help others, which is really commendable.

After hearing this, Tang Fei couldn't help being moved.

So Tang Fei nodded in agreement.

"Okay! Mao Tiedan, I am willing to accept you as an apprentice today. Are you willing to worship under me from now on and consider it a teacher?"

Mao Tiedan nodded heavily and said firmly.

"I am willing!"
