My wife is a supplier of materials for cultivating immortals

Chapter 160 Light Reaction and Dark Reaction

After Yan Huang's parents returned home, their lives returned to their former tranquility.Although it is still during the Chinese New Year, no guests will come to their house anymore.During the Chinese New Year period, especially when the surrounding farmyards were full of relatives, it seemed that their house became more and more deserted.

In order to ease the desertedness, Ye Ziqi also went out and bought a lot of small red pendants to hang at home, such as firecrackers, peppers, etc., making the house look like a bustling illusion.On this day, Yan Huang helped her hang up these things at home.

"Honey, don't you envy how lively his house is?" Ye Ziqi muttered absent-mindedly as she saw that the small courtyard a few hundred meters away from their house was full of people.

"No, I really like this kind of clean life." Yan Huang said while supporting her leg, then looked around, and kissed her beautiful little butt while no one was paying attention. .

Ye Ziqi couldn't help but tapped her lips to express her dissatisfaction, but she didn't resist either.Yan Huang put his head in front of her and teased, "Little cat, are you really envious?"

"Gee..." Ye Ziqi pursed her lips and frowned in dissatisfaction, apparently being hit by Yan Huang's words.

"Oh, it's okay. When we get married in the future, our family will be lively." Yan Huang patted her buttocks and said.

"How is it possible? I don't have any relatives in my family who will come..." Ye Ziqi muttered.

"My family has it. When the time comes, call all the relatives in the family." Yan Huang said with a smile, "I'm afraid you don't know, the relatives in my parents' family... There are only about a hundred people in my hometown."

"Okay then." Ye Ziqi smiled, hung up the last string of pepper decorations, and jumped down.

Yan Huang opened his arms to catch her, then stroked her hair and said with a smile, "Good cat."

"Hmph." Ye Ziqi smiled sweetly at him, rubbing her little head against his face.

"In the future, it's up to you to marry into our family. Let me tell you, the relatives in our hometown are well-known in the local area. Everyone in the local area knows our relatives. After you and I go back to our hometown, everyone I have to point at you and say, hey, isn’t that the third daughter-in-law of the Yan family?” Yan Huang stroked her soft hair and said with a smile.

"Is your dad the third child at home?" Ye Ziqi asked with interest.

"That's right. Because my grandparents couldn't have children, my dad was adopted by my grandma and came to live here in the city." Yan Huang explained to her, "I'll take you back to my hometown to see when the time comes. The people in my hometown are very simple and kind. They don’t ask me if I’m good or not and how much I earn outside, they’re very happy as long as I go home, and they give away a lot of things every time I leave.”

"It sounds really enviable." At this time Dong Le passed behind them suddenly, and then sighed, "If all relatives in the world are like this, I don't have to run out to hide now. I should let you see My relatives..."

Yan Huang raised his eyebrows, then walked into the house with Ye Ziqi while holding Ye Ziqi's shoulders, muttering: "If I live with a bunch of figurines every day and engage in online dating, my relatives will probably do the same." In that way..."

"Oh! Don't say that." Ye Ziqi poked his face and interrupted him, "What do you want to eat today?"

"How about a lovely Kiki?" Yan Huang asked, kissing her on the face.

"Hate... serious." Ye Ziqi frowned and said coquettishly, Yan Huang shrugged: "Then whatever, I'm satisfied as long as I can enjoy my baby Qiqi at night."

"Big pervert..." Ye Ziqi pinched him on the face, then turned around and went to do housework.

Yan Huang came to the yard and inspected the fairy grass at home.In fact, everything that can be done with these fairy grasses at home has been done, and the cultivation methods are also preliminary improved versions after Lian Yi's guidance.

Of course, Lian Yi only proposed a general cultivation method, which may not necessarily be the most suitable one.As for how to continue to improve, we have to wait for the current cultivation results to come out.

What is known now is that if it is the most suitable cultivation method, it should be able to reach a top-grade rate of about 80.00% within a medicinal period.Then use this cultivation method to continue planting, and within two to three medicinal periods, these top-grade grass jelly can break through to the next grade.At present, the only ones that meet this condition are the hemostatic grass, poisonous gentian and Ganoderma lucidum.

In other words, the cultivation methods of other grass jelly at home still need to be improved, but there are also priorities.

Yan Huang pondered that Ganoderma lucidum was the only one that needed to be upgraded urgently.Ice lotus catkins and snow lotus essence are jelly grasses that are limited to winter. It will be difficult to plant them in summer.Because these two types of grass jelly prefer low temperatures, you can use a greenhouse when the temperature is low, but when the temperature is high, there is no way to cool down.

Therefore, there are only two or three months of planting period left for these two kinds of fairy grasses, and they will be replaced with other kinds of fairy grasses in summer.In addition, the purpose of ice lotus catkins is only to collect honey, and its medicinal value is only average, and the top grade is enough.

Now the family still needs to improve the cultivation method, that is, Tianxianghua.

On the one hand, Tianxianghua can be made into Tianxiang Extending Life Lotion, and on the other hand, it can also be used in the production of many elixirs.And most importantly, Tianxianghua is also the material needed for the Jiuhua School's Hualing Pill, so naturally the higher the grade, the better.

Moreover, Tianxianghua does not need a cold environment, and can grow normally in a normal environment.

"Wanqing, ice lotus catkins and snow lotus essence are both fairy grasses that are suitable for growing in winter, so before summer comes, we need to store as much ice dew as possible, understand?" Yan Huang patted the side to feed the fish Su Wanqing's head said.

"Hmm..." Su Wanqing muttered in a daze, with her expression still a little sleepy.

Then, Yan Huang came to Tianxianghua and squatted down, and began to observe the growth of these fairy grasses.It has been more than two months since Tianxiang was planted, but so far, although many Tianxiang flowers have seen buds, none of them have bloomed.

Although Tianxianghua is indeed a relatively high-grade fairy grass, if it is cultivated in the correct way, it should bloom within three months.

At this time, he found Lian Yi flying around in the grass of Tianxianghua. This little girl didn't know what she was doing, she was flying around like a little honey bee.

"Lian Yi." Yan Huang shouted, and then stretched out his hand to Lian Yi.

"Father." Lian Yi looked at him, but did not fly over, but flew around him mischievously, and then hid in the fragrant flowers, peeking at him in the flowers.

"What are you doing?" Yan Huang asked with a smile.

"Absorb spiritual energy." Lian Yi poked her head out from behind a Tianxiang flower and looked at him with a smile. Yan Huang asked curiously: "Why do you want to hide here to absorb spiritual energy? Can't you do it in other places?"

"Because, because...that's..." Lian Yi tilted her little head and pondered carefully, as if she didn't know how to express it, "That's, the aura here is more delicious than other places, and it's a bit like Father's aura."

"Is it because Tianxianghua also has wood aura here?" Yan Huang asked curiously.

"Hmm! Although it's not as pure as my father's." Lian Yi nodded happily, while Yan Huang rested his chin in thought.

If there is wood aura here, there is only one possibility, that is, Tianxianghua is trying to absorb the wood aura, but there is no way to absorb all of it.Wood aura is a panacea for fairy grass, no matter what kind of fairy grass it is, it can grow by absorbing wood aura, so why is there such a phenomenon?

The wood spirit energy will gather here, which undoubtedly shows that Tianxianghua is trying to absorb the wood spirit energy, but it cannot actually absorb it.What is the reason why Tianxianghua did not absorb the wood spiritual energy?
The fairy grass absorbs the aura, in fact, it is also to carry out a kind of photosynthesis unique to the fairy grass, so it seems that something went wrong in the photosynthesis.But where did it go wrong?Yan Huang thought with a sad face.Lian Yi did not express any objection to the cultivation method, so the cultivation method should not be a big problem.

In this case, the problem should lie in the living environment, and it must be the lack of a certain substance that Tianxianghua needs at the physical level.

However, Tianxianghua is still growing, but at a slower rate.

Yan Huang carefully recalled the knowledge about plant photosynthesis he learned in high school, but he had long forgotten it after not using it for a long time, so he simply turned his head into the room and looked it up on the computer.Then, his attention stayed on a statement about photosynthesis: Photosynthesis is divided into two stages, light reaction and dark reaction.

The light reaction converts light energy into chemical energy to form ATP and NADPH, while the dark reaction stabilizes these two substances and forms glucose. In this process, carbon dioxide needs to be absorbed, and light is not required in this process.

Now the wood aura is condensed around Tianxianghua, but it has not been absorbed. Could it be because the "dark reaction" in Tianxianghua's body cannot unfold?But dark reactions can unfold with or without light.

The reason why the dark reaction cannot be carried out may only be that the light reaction does not provide the required substance for the dark reaction.In other words, the essence that makes the dark reaction impossible is something missing in the process of the light reaction.

"What is it?" Yan Huang pondered carefully, logically speaking, light and water are needed for photoreaction.

Therefore, the reasons for the failure of photosynthesis of Tianxiang flower can only be these two points.But the light time should be enough, in other words, is the water not enough?In terms of watering amount, Tianxianghua is cultivated with normal watering amount.

"Could it be..." Yan Huang raised his eyebrows, "Is Tianxianghua an aquatic plant?"

In this case, it actually makes sense why the wood aura here is more abundant.If Tianxianghua is an aquatic plant, then it is probably also a water genus, an aquatic wood, and there will naturally be more wood aura here.

"Lian Yi." Yan Huang waved to Lian Yi in the yard, and the little fairy flew over immediately, Yan Huang asked: "Is Tianxianghua an aquatic fairy grass? It can survive in water just like you ?"

"Huh?" Lian Yi didn't seem to understand what he meant, "Lian Yi doesn't understand it."

"Then try it." Yan Huang nodded, and then took out a few Tianxiang flowers from the petri dish, and put them in the pond at home.In the next moment, he was basically convinced that Tianxianghua was indeed an aquatic plant.

Because after the fragrant flower hit the water this day, its roots sank, and its leaves just left the flower and part of the stem on the water.Looking at it this way, its appearance is quite similar to calamus.But specifically, we still have to wait for the comparison with the Tianxiang flower planted in the soil before to know whether it is more suitable for aquatic life.

But if Tianxianghua is really an aquatic celestial herb... that would be really a happy thing.

Because in this way, he can transfer all the Tianxiang flowers at home to the pond at home. Not to mention that the growth speed of Tianxiang flowers can be greatly improved, the key is to save a part of the ground space for planting other fairy grasses.

When he thought of this, Yan Huang felt excited.

And the result came out faster than he imagined. When he came to the pond to check the next day, the two heavenly fragrance flowers that were transferred to the water had already bloomed.There is a circle of lavender lines on the yellow petals, which makes the Tianxiang flower look like there is a lavender flower inside.Seeing this situation, Yan Huang looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Ouch, what's going on so early in the morning?" Su Wanqing patted him on the side.

"Huh? Presumptuous, you dare to say that I'm crazy. It's time for you to thank me in a while." Yan Huang said proudly, and then walked into the room while humming: "Qiqi, come out."

"What's the matter? You're so energetic early in the morning." Ye Ziqi smiled and walked out of the kitchen.Yan Huang pointed to his face: "Hurry up, reward me with a kiss."

"What's the matter, what great achievements have you made?" Ye Ziqi covered her mouth and smiled, and kissed him on the cheek.

"Come out quickly." Yan Huang said, leading Ye Ziqi to the yard, and showed her the Tianxiang flowers floating on the pond.

"Hey, it's blooming." Ye Ziqi said in surprise.

"Did you see? I found out yesterday that Tianxiang is an aquatic plant!" Yan Huang said proudly, "Do you know what this means? It means that when we transfer Tianxiang to the pond for planting, we can save There is a lot of space to plant other fairy grasses! Think about it, what kind of fairy grass is better? Plant more poisonous gentian and hemostatic grass, or try new fairy grasses?"

"Hmm..." Ye Ziqi thought for a while, then suddenly pursed her lips into a smile, "Then, I'll go to the group and ask if there are any orders."

After speaking, Ye Ziqi was about to turn around and enter the room, but after walking two steps, she remembered something again, turned her head and kissed Yan Huang on the face, and said with a smile: "Husband, you are the best."
