Ugly Cultivation Notes

Chapter 962 Cutting Trees
Xu Chunniang touched her nose and smiled awkwardly.

"We are new here, so we have no concept of immortal crystals at all. We thought six hundred immortal crystals was a small amount, but we owed a huge sum of money, and now we are worrying about it.

Doesn't this just follow you when you go up the mountain to cut down cedars? "

"Haha, the cedar grows on a higher isolated cliff, and a complete cedar is worth at least ten immortal crystals. If the quality is good, the price will be higher.

The little girl wants to earn fairy crystals, so she has to keep up. "

As Mr. Gong said, he sped up his speed again and walked up a steep path.

He chose this trail on purpose. The cliffs with cedars growing there are all cliffs, which are more steep than this trail.

If the opponent can't even handle this path, even if they go to Guya, it will be difficult to accomplish anything.

While paying attention to the road under his feet, Mr. Gong watched Xu Chunniang behind him from the corner of his eye.

Seeing that she not only kept up with him, but also walked steadily with every step, as if she had the energy to spare, he looked back and continued on his way without distraction.

After walking along the steep mountain road for less than half an hour, the surrounding temperature is getting lower and lower, and the rocks under the feet are also unknowingly replaced by a thick layer of ice.

There is also an intractable cold mist that shrouds the mountains and forests, making the figures of the two look as if they are in heaven.

It's just that there is a fatal crisis hidden in this impenetrable cold fog.

Because no one knows, under the cover of the cold mist, the next place to stay will be a mountain rock wrapped in ice, or it will be empty.

Mr. Gong's face became a little more serious, and his speed slowed down a lot. He continued to move forward based on his experience and familiarity with the trail.

Although you may not die if you stumble and step into the air, some stumbling is inevitable.

"Be careful, the cold mist can block sight and consciousness, keep the center of gravity of the body, keep up with my steps, and remember not to step in the air."

"Yes."

Xu Chunniang knew that Mr. Gong always reminded him kindly, so she worked hard and kept Mr. Gong's foothold in mind, not daring to make mistakes.

After walking cautiously for half an hour, the surrounding cold mist gradually showed signs of dissipating, and finally a lonely cliff appeared in front of it.

There are several cedars growing proudly on the edge of the cliff facing the wind and frost. Their branches are thick and strong, and they are not easy to break at first glance.

"Did you see that lonely cliff in front of us? Next, we are going to fly over here. The mountain wind is very strong. Be careful to control your body, otherwise it is very likely that you will be blown off by the mountain wind."

Mr. Gong glanced back at Xu Chunniang, and after a few words of advice, he took the lead to ride the wind and leave.

It can be seen that Mr. Gong's control over his body has reached an extremely high level, and he can even subtly use the power of the mountain wind to move forward.

He jumped over the cliff smoothly, came to the lonely cliff with cedar trees, turned around and looked over.

Xu Chunniang did not move rashly, but stretched out her hand first, feeling the strength and direction of the mountain wind.

After she had a general understanding of the strength of the mountain wind, she thought for a while, added a law of wind to her body, and flew towards the opposite lonely cliff lightly.

With the blessing of the law of wind, those mountain winds treat her like nothing, no matter how strong the mountain wind falls on her, it can't shake her at all.

Xu Chunniang jumped lightly and landed beside Mr. Gong, stepping on the snow, making a "creaking" sound.

"Only the cedar that has grown for more than a hundred years will have the special fragrance of cedar when it is burned.

Their age can be distinguished by the thickness of the trunk and the number of forks in the branches. "

Mr. Gong glanced around and pointed to a certain cedar tree among them.

"For example, this cedar, its trunk is no more than the thickness of a fist, and its branches have only nine branches, which means that its age is no more than fifty.

Cedar asiatica, which is less than a hundred years old, will only branch every five years under normal circumstances. "

Xu Chunniang carefully looked at the cedar in front of her eyes, and firmly remembered what Mr. Gong said.

"Cedar asiatica over [-] years old, will the time interval for growing branches be longer?"

"Yes, they will only grow a new branch every ten years."

Elder Gong nodded slightly, signaling Xu Chunniang to look to the other side.

"Like this cedar asiatica, the trunk is three times thicker than the previous cedar asiatica, and there are 22 forks in the branches, which means that its age is more than 120 years."

As he said that, Mr. Gong walked towards the cedar, and at some point in his hand, a sharp ax appeared out of thin air.

He caressed the branches of the cedar, and said leisurely, "When cutting down the cedar, the branches should be cut first, and the trunk should be cut last.

Loggers must work hard and keep their balance at all times so as not to fall off the cliff. Let me demonstrate it first and watch it. "

Mr. Gong grabbed one of the branches with his left hand, lifted the ax with his right hand, drew a graceful arc in the air, and gently landed on the root neck where the branch and the trunk were connected.

When the ax fell, there was only a crisp sound of "click", and the branches fell in response.

In Mr. Gong's hand, there was an extra cedar branch.

"The bark of the cedar tree can be extracted into white pine paste, which can be used to make spices, and can also be used to refine frostbite ointment.

After peeling the cedar wood, it can only be used as fuel. "

Veteran Gong put away the cedar branch in his hand, pulled another branch with ease, and felled it according to the law.

He first cut down all the branches of the cedar, and finally aimed at the trunk, and started to chop with the ax in his hand.

Mr. Gong felled the cedar asiatica very skillfully. His movements were very small, and every time he raised and lowered the axe, he could accurately cut at the same position.

After a hundred or so fellings like this, the gap made by the ax on the trunk of the cedar pine is getting deeper and deeper.

In the end, the cedar pine snapped off at the sound, and he picked it up with one hand and put it in his bag.

Elder Gong turned his head and looked at Xu Chunniang in a good mood.

"How about it, have you learned it? In fact, this cedar asiatica is a bit hard, and it takes a lot of effort to cut it down, so it's not difficult."

Xu Chunniang nodded, and took out a quarry chisel from the small world, "Let me try it."

"Okay, you chop this one."

Mr. Gong scanned the lonely cliff with his eyes, and found a cedar that had just turned a hundred years old.

"This one is the easiest to cut. If you can't even cut this one, don't waste your time and go down the mountain as soon as possible."

Xu Chunniang didn't care about Elder Gong's attitude, she walked cautiously towards the cedar, and stopped half a step away from the cliff, imitating the other party, and grabbed the branch closest to her.

She held the quarry chisel back in her right hand and chiseled vigorously at the joint between the branch and the trunk.

"Bang!"

The quarry was chiseled into the neck of the root, with a three-point penetration into the wood, and half of the connection between the branch and the trunk was chiseled off, and the other half was still attached to the trunk.

She pulled out the quarry chisel, tried several more times, and finally cut off the branch completely.
