Immortal Reincarnation Tribulation

Chapter 28 Blue Star Qingzhou

Leaving the warehouse, Du Fan first took the two packets of seeds back to his residence in the Spirit Garden. He chose an open space and planted the larger packet of seeds, while planting the smaller packet in his private experimental field. Following Wang San's description, he circled around two mountain peaks, entered a valley, and arrived at a place inside the gate that was said to be a breeding ground for magical beasts.

After showing the dark green jade token, he successfully entered the attic of the Monster Garden's office and immediately saw Zhang Dashan, the Monster Garden handyman that Wang San had described.

The man appeared to be in his early twenties, with a robust build, slightly dark skin, and a rugged aura that made him easily recognizable. However, he seemed somewhat distracted at the moment.

"Are you Zhang Dashan, the handyman at the Warcraft Garden?" Du Fan stepped forward and gave a slight bow.

"Who are you?" Zhang Dashan, who was feeling drowsy, was startled when he heard this. After he came to his senses and saw who it was, he was taken aback.

"I am Du Fan, a new handyman at the Spirit Garden. I have come here to ask Senior Brother Zhang for something." Du Fan smiled slightly.

"So it's Brother Du. Why don't you tell me first? If I can help, I certainly won't refuse." Zhang Dashan's eyes flashed, and he was somewhat surprised at first, but then he spoke cautiously.

"Well, I've been having some free time and would like to get some monster droppings for research. I wonder if Brother Zhang could do me that?" Du Fan said, somewhat embarrassed.

"Monster excrement?" Zhang Dashan's eyes widened, and he looked at Du Fan with a strange expression.

"Ahem...that's right." Du Fan coughed lightly to confirm.

"Alright, I didn't expect Brother Du to have such unusual tastes. I admire you. This matter is not a problem. I will make sure Brother Du is satisfied later. Let's talk about other things first." Zhang Dashan was stunned for a while before finally recovering from his shock. Then he remembered something important.

"Brother Zhang, just speak frankly." Du Fan's spirits lifted.

"Brother Du is so straightforward, so I'll get straight to the point. The monster garden I manage has a large number of monsters below level three, so I'm naturally responsible for their diet. In order to increase their strength, most of their food is mixed with specific spiritual herbs. As for the procurement process, normally, the steward of the monster garden would give me the spirit stones that would be spent, and then I would go to the pharmacy in the sect to purchase these spiritual herbs."

"Of course, now that Brother Du is here, there's no need for such trouble. I'll just go directly to your spirit garden to purchase the herbs and pay you half the value of the corresponding herbs in your pharmacy with spirit stones. That way, we brothers can split these spirit stones equally. Wouldn't that be wonderful? And as long as Brother Du is clever enough, there won't be any problems." Zhang Dashan's eyes suddenly gleamed, and his expression became unusually lewd as he uttered words that left Du Fan stunned.

"Cough cough... No problem, no problem." Because of the Wanbaoshan and Wang San incident, Du Fan had developed a certain level of immunity and acceptance. After a moment of blankness, he acquiesced.

"Brother Du is indeed a wise man. We will need to look after each other in the future. Please wait a moment, I will fetch what Brother Du needs." Zhang Dashan's face showed satisfaction, and he turned and left quickly.

An hour later, Du Fan was already in his own spiritual garden, and began digging a large pit at the edge of the herb garden with a shovel.

After a long time, a large pit, about 20 feet long and wide and more than 5 feet deep, was dug out.

Du Fan skillfully poured the monster dung he had just retrieved into the container, sprinkled in some special medicinal powder, covered it with oil paper and sand, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

For the next two weeks, Du Fan immersed himself in the study of herbs and plants, and has already made considerable progress. He has also taken good care of the hundreds of acres of spiritual herbs according to their respective growth characteristics.

Wang San and Zhang Daniu visited twice, naturally because they felt that Du Fan was someone of their generation and worth getting to know, so they came to cultivate a relationship.

Du Fan also learned some things about this world from them. Kongsang Sect was the largest cultivation sect in Huoyu Kingdom, and its foundation was so profound that it was unbelievable. It was because of Kongsang Sect that Huoyu Kingdom had become a great power with both military strength and economic foundation, and had become the leader of the surrounding countries. As for Tianxiang Kingdom, in the eyes of the people of Huoyu Kingdom, it was just a small border country in the north.

Within the Fire Feather Kingdom, there are four cultivation sects, including the Kongsang Sect, and some powerful cultivation families. Of course, only the Kongsang Sect is a medium-sized sect in the cultivation world; the others can only be considered small sects and families.

The region where countries like Fire Feather Kingdom and Heavenly Fragrance Kingdom are located is known as the Northern Region of Qingzhou. Within Qingzhou, there are over a hundred countries and more than five hundred cultivation sects. Although over ninety percent of them are small sects, this is enough to demonstrate Qingzhou's extraordinary nature. It is said that no one can fully describe the size of Qingzhou; all that is known is that mortals can never leave this region in their entire lives.

Beyond Qingzhou, there was naturally another world, but given Wang San and Zhang Dashan's status, they couldn't possibly know. When Du Fan asked them the name of this planet, it took considerable explanation before the two finally realized that in their original world, there was no such word as "planet." They called planets "interfaces," and this world was called the Blue Star Realm.

On this day, Du Fan felt that it was about time, so he dug the fermented fertilizer out of the pit. It took him nearly two days to finish applying the fertilizer to most of the spiritual herbs in his private experimental field and spirit garden. After all, the garden was too big and the fertilizer was not enough. Just as Du Fan was about to go to Zhang Dashan to ask for some more demonic beast dung, he suddenly remembered something: the hair of the Thousand-Eyed Taotie!

Inside the thatched hut, Du Fan held the black Taotie hair in his hand, examining it carefully for a long time without finding anything special about it. It had no signs of life at all, like an inanimate object. However, he did not believe that something from this ancient ferocious beast, which could devour entire realms, was completely useless, even if it was dead, even if it was just a single hair...

The only experimental method he could think of, and the simplest one, was to boil the hair in water and observe the water.

Du Fan set up a large pot outside the thatched hut, filled it with water, put the Taotie hair into the water, and lit dry firewood underneath to boil the Taotie hair.

To Du Fan's astonishment, the pot of water had been boiling for two hours without showing any signs of boiling. He thought to himself that the Taotie's hair was indeed extraordinary, so he stopped paying attention to it and just added some dry firewood every now and then.

Du Fan began to study the medicinal herbs that had been fertilized. To his surprise, he discovered that the fertilizer made from the fermented manure of magical beasts was far more effective than the fertilizer made from ordinary animal manure at the Yao family's house. This single measure of fertilization increased the growth rate of the medicinal herbs in the garden by more than double, which excited him.

A day later, the Taotie hair water finally boiled. Du Fan was immediately invigorated, then extinguished the fire and began to study it after the water cooled down.

However, after studying it, Du Fan's face fell, because apart from discovering that the water in the pot had been dyed black, he did not find anything different about the Taotie Water.

"These Taotie hairs can't just be used to make dye, can they?" Du Fan chuckled wryly.

After staring at the dark, gluttonous water for a long time, Du Fan finally gave up the idea of ​​taking a sip. Helpless, he glanced at the Spirit Garden, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Why not try irrigating some medicinal herbs that haven't been fertilized with chemical fertilizers with this gluttonous water?"

With a decisive look in his eyes, Du Fan removed the gluttonous beast's hair from the pot, took a deep breath, picked up the large pot, and headed towards the depths of the Spirit Garden.

A few days later, three similar medicinal herbs were placed in front of Du Fan, one of which was obviously two large and one small.

"This spiritual herb, which hasn't been fertilized or irrigated with gluttonous water, is clearly not growing well. The other two spiritual herbs, on the other hand, are showing signs of accelerated growth, and the rate of acceleration is similar, both more than doubling their original growth rate. This is quite interesting," Du Fan murmured.

After some research, Du Fan discovered that the spiritual herbs irrigated by the Taotie water also had the effect of promoting the growth of spiritual herbs, and the effect was similar to that of fertilizer made from monster excrement. Although this effect made him somewhat disappointed with the Taotie hair that he had placed such high hopes on, he was not discouraged. Now that he knew it had some effect, he would naturally explore its greatest value.

"The effects of this Gluttonous Water are probably related to its concentration. If it could be purified, its effects might be even enhanced."

The more Du Fan thought about it, the more likely it seemed. However, he didn't have the necessary equipment for purification at the moment, so he sighed and put the matter aside for the time being, preparing to start his other plan: to rearrange and transplant the spiritual herbs in the garden.
