Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

Chapter 159 The problem has been found

It was quite similar to the ordinary herb he had saved. The leaves at the top had withered and turned black. Only the leaves and stems near the roots looked like there was still a trace of life.

The soil in which it is grown is black.

Qin Niu put some to his nose and smelled it, then brought it close to his eyes to observe carefully.

This kind of soil is clay soil and contains acidic humus.

Judging from the taste, it is just the leaves and dead branches of plants that are rotten, so this kind of fertilizer should not be produced.It is possible that animal carcasses were buried in the soil, waiting for them to decay and decompose naturally to increase their fertility.

And this process should be quite slow, otherwise the fertility in the soil cannot be so uniform.

The deeper the fertilizer penetrates into the soil, the milder the fertility.

Otherwise, retting too quickly will damage the roots.

The air permeability of clay soil is originally poor, but after Fang's special preparation, it is not only soft, fertile and mild, but also has excellent air permeability.Even better, it retains water extremely well.

This allows it to reach a very ideal level of humidity.

Just from this handful of soil, one can infer that the Fang family supports top cultivation masters.

Also, there is a water storage tank on the back of this herb, which is about two meters high and is cut out of black rock.

Slightly leaky.

There was a plant in the water that Qin Niu was familiar with, it was a rootless aquatic plant.

In order for the little turtle to have a good water environment, he bought two rootless aquatic plants.When practicing Changchun Gong, I moved the broken water tank to the side many times so that the two rootless water plants could be nourished.

They are currently growing very well and have a very strong effect on water purification.

At this moment, a rootless aquatic plant was planted in this black rock-hewn water tank.

But it looks much stronger than the one planted by Qin Niu. It blooms branches and leaves in the water. Not only does it look extremely strong, but its branches and leaves are scattered throughout the entire reservoir.It is constantly purifying the water inside.

I thought this water tank was built to slowly irrigate this dying herb.

Unexpectedly, two watering methods were used.

One waterway is drip irrigation, but the other waterway is equipped with a clever pipe, which is sealed at the water outlet and pierced with some fine holes to form a spray.

This mist can cover the entire herb.

The Fang family really put a lot of effort into raising this medicinal herb.

Qin Niu closed his eyes and felt it carefully. He found that although this herb was about to die, the energy contained in its plant was extremely considerable.

Like a blazing fire burning.

The energy contained in herbs is nothing more than four types: cold, cool, warm, and hot.

The medicinal properties of this herb are hot and close to the blazing sun.

His Medicine King Sutra can only feel so much at present. If he wants to further experience other characteristics of plants, he will probably have to wait until his Medicine King Sutra skill reaches the acquired state.

In addition, he also discovered that the rootless aquatic plant in the reservoir contained considerable cooling energy.

There is a hint of coldness mixed in it.

"The energy contained in my rootless aquatic plants seems to be a little different!"

Qin Niu was quite surprised.

Cold is ice, heat is fire, and the energy with coldness is constantly poured into the herbs. Isn't it the two heavens of ice and fire?
In fact, he could already feel that the fiery energy of the medicinal herbs was being suppressed by the cold water.

It is equivalent to a ball of flame being extinguished little by little.

I don’t know if the cultivation of this medicinal herb is meant to be like this, or is there something wrong with this rootless aquatic plant?

Qinniu's evergreen function restores the herb's vitality, but if the root of the disease is not identified, it will still cause problems again.

The Fang family's 1000 tael reward is not that easy to get.

To gain money from others, you must be loyal to them.

He would never dare to take money and do nothing, or fool the Fang family.That is tantamount to seeking death.

The five ancestors of the Fang family are all so terrifying that they can kill him with just one finger.

There are many family masters below, and the guards provided by them are definitely not something that the current Qin Niu can offend.

"Mr. Fang, do you know how long this herb has been having problems?"

"It has been around for more than 40 days. At first, it only showed spots on the top young leaves, and then it gradually got worse, and the spots continued to spread downwards. We tried many ways to treat it, but none of them had any obvious effect. We can only feel helpless. I watched it wither and die little by little."

Speaking of this medicinal herb, Mr. Fang seemed very helpless.

"Has the environment around it changed before the herb had problems?"

"No! All the facilities have not changed. The light, air, watering, soil, and even the stones used to build this medicine garden have not changed. Originally, according to the rules, the soil should be changed every three years, but after three years There is still more than a year left, and it has not been touched at all.”

After hearing Mr. Fang's description, Qin Niu frowned slightly.

"Did Master Qin discover anything unusual?"

Mr. Fang observed the words and saw a clue.

"I don't know what the growth environment of this herb was before. When I checked just now, I did find something that was against common sense, so I asked whether the environment of the herb had changed. How long has this rootless aquatic plant been grown? Already?"

"It's been at least two or three hundred years. Is there something wrong with it?"

"Not sure."

Qin Niu did not dare to draw random conclusions.

"Can you find rootless aquatic plants of similar age?"

"You can find those that are more than a hundred years old, but it is difficult to find those that are older than that in a short time. But as long as you give our Fang family a few days, we will definitely be able to get them." Mr. Fang looked extremely confident.

This is the energy of a big family.It has its own network of contacts in all aspects, with countless people working for this family.

With one order, if you use all your family's strength to do one thing, there will probably be few herbs that you can't find.

"First take a hundred-year-old plant and show it to me. Let me compare it. If there is really something wrong with this old rootless aquatic plant, then just replace it. By the way, how is this water supplied? What will happen? Problem?"

Qin Niu thought that it must be abnormal for this rootless waterweed to continuously release cold energy.

"The water supply is obtained locally. It is controlled by direct descendants of our Fang family, so the possibility of problems is minimal. But since Master Qin mentioned it, I immediately sent someone to investigate secretly."

Mr. Fang is not letting go of any clues.

"If possible, try not to let too many people know about it. Now I am not sure whether there is a problem with this aquatic plant. If it is really a problem, there are only two possibilities. Either it is because the aquatic plant has aged for a long time. There has been a mutation. Either someone has deliberately manipulated it."

As soon as Qin Niu finished speaking, he immediately felt the air around him become cold, his body tightened, and his soul palpitated.

The five Fang family ancestors opened their eyes in unison.

These five people looked like they were practicing with their eyes closed. They were not paying attention at all. They actually eavesdropped on the conversation between Qin Niu and Young Master Fang.

"Fang Lian, if you find out that someone has tampered with this herb, remember to leave him alive. Let's see, who dared to touch the foundation of our Fang family?" A figure with white beard and hair. The shorter old man said to Young Master Fang indifferently.

Even though this man looks like a land father-in-law and has an unattractive appearance, his status among the five Fang family ancestors is probably the highest.

Because as soon as he spoke, the other four people did not speak again.

"Understood! Taking advantage of my father's seclusion to do this to our Fang family, this is to deceive our young man Fang Lian. If I find out, I will kill his entire family so that other coveters will no longer dare to take advantage of our Fang family."

Mr. Fang looked young, only in his early 30s, but his tone was scary.

It seems that the whole family is just talking about a trivial matter.

And from this tone, it seemed that as long as he knew who did it, he would dare to kill everyone, even if it was a big family in Black Tiger City.

Qin Niu had glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of Black Tiger City.

Powerful families are entrenched in the city, but they are fighting fiercely.Without any strength, he lived like an ant in the city, with no sense of security at all.

This is just the Fang family that is already so powerful. How powerful will the Lu family, which makes Rich Wang even dream of marrying his daughter, be?

Qin Niu didn't know.

He is just a small person now, and he doesn't dare to have too much contact with these behemoth top families.

Mr. Fang pressed the button to open the forbidden area, and the stone door opened again.

"Secret Guard No. 1!"

"exist!"

A figure gradually appeared in the darkness.

"Bring a rootless waterweed that is more than a hundred years old. Secretly investigate the source of water entering the forbidden area, and closely monitor Pang Shi's every move, but don't alarm him for the time being..."

Mr. Fang issued a series of instructions.

The figure of the secret guard disappeared.

Not long after, a rootless waterweed was delivered in a bucket.

But the secret guard did not dare to set foot in the forbidden area, and just placed the items at the entrance of the cave.

Mr. Fang brought it in personally.

And when it was brought in, it was carefully inspected.

Only bring it in after confirming that there are no abnormalities.

The herbs and trees planted in the forbidden area are the core high-level strategic materials of the Fang family.

There is no room for any questions.

Qin Niu was brought into the forbidden area as an outsider, which made him feel extremely uneasy.

He had already quickly thought of some life-saving plans in his mind.

At least after escaping from Black Tiger City, he would have some ability to protect himself as long as he returned to Shuangfeng Village.That ancient banyan tree is a natural maze, which can play a very good protective role.

The only drawback is that you can't hide in it at night.

Because all creatures hiding inside at night will be killed by it indiscriminately.

"Master Qin, please see if this rootless waterweed is normal!"

Mr. Fang handed him the bucket.

Qin Niu closed his eyes again and felt it carefully.

The energy contained in this rootless aquatic plant is obviously less, which indirectly means that it is much younger.But the energy it contains is normal, it belongs to cool energy and is not mixed with cold energy.

"This one is normal."

Qin Niu only said four words.

"Is it true that someone has taken advantage of the most important thing in our family? Damn it."

Mr. Fang's fists clenched and made a crunching sound.

"I suggest changing all the water in the pond, filling the replaced water in a water tank, and then growing normal rootless aquatic plants in it. This way you can find out whether there is a problem with the pond water."

Qin Niu is not sure where the problem lies now.
