985 Xiuxian University

Because they arrived early today, all the dishes in the cafeteria were still steaming hot, which looked extraordinarily attractive.

"Sweet and sour pork ribs, dry pot bullfrog, three delicacies soup..." Lin Ze stretched his neck at the window and ordered a lot of dishes, as if intending to turn his grief into appetite.

Half an hour later, someone's belly was round after eating, spread out on the chair, humming.

Ji Chengfeng stopped his chopsticks helplessly, and looked at him with concern: "Are you okay? Do you want to go to the school's small pharmacy and buy a box of Jianweixiaoshi tablets?"

"Hic." Lin Ze burped, and said with difficulty: "No need, I'll just walk around later."

Ji Chengfeng hesitated for a moment, and said: "Well, I'm fine in the afternoon anyway, I'll walk around the school with you."

Lin Ze nodded in agreement.

……

So, after eating, they began to stroll around the campus.

Kexiu University occupies a vast area, and the teaching buildings are similar in size, making Lin Ze look like a blind man. Fortunately, Ji Chengfeng led him to wander around, allowing him to appreciate many campus landscapes that he did not notice normally .

After a while, they walked to the entrance of the small supermarket in the school.

Ji Chengfeng told Lin Ze: "Wait for me for a while." After speaking, he went to the supermarket.

Lin Ze thought he was going to buy something, so he nodded.

As a result, after a while, Ji Chengfeng came out with two bottles of Yakult in his hands. He casually handed a bottle to Lin Ze, and then took a bottle and drank it himself.

"Give it to me?" Lin Ze was slightly stunned, blinked his eyes, and felt a little warmth in his heart, "Thank you."

Ji Chengfeng: "Drink quickly."

Lin Ze lowered his head and took a sip. After drinking the cold Yakult, his stomach seemed to feel a little better. He raised his head and smiled, "I feel much more comfortable than before!"

"That's good." Ji Chengfeng smiled lightly.

"Where are we going next?" Lin Ze asked.

"How about, let's go and see Kumi grow spiritual grass?" Ji Chengfeng suggested.

"Plant spiritual grass!?" Lin Ze widened his eyes curiously, and his energy suddenly rose.

Ji Chengfeng nodded and said, "Kumi's class this afternoon is a planting class, don't you know?"

Lin Ze shook his head, and there was some eager anticipation in his eyes: "Then he is in class, can we go and listen?"

Ji Chengfeng said: "Of course, as long as we don't disturb him."

……

There is an experimental field on the campus of HKUST, about ten acres in size, not very big, but definitely not small either.

When Ji Chengfeng and Lin Ze arrived, they only saw dozens of students squatting around in a huge experimental field, all working diligently on the field.

It's just that the seeds they planted seem to be different.

The seeds in some people's hands are as dull as black beans, while others are round and bright like night pearls, some are oval, some are irregular, and some are like lotus flowers...

Lin Ze's eyes widened in surprise: "This...these are all spirit grass seeds?"

"Yeah." Ji Chengfeng looked into the distance of the experimental field for a while, and said, "Let's go, let's see what Kumi is planting."

Lin Ze also saw Kumi's back. He was wearing a short sleeve and cropped trousers. He was half-squatting in the field with sweat on his back. He was holding a small shovel stained with mud in his left hand. His sneakers were covered with mud spots. Get up and work hard.

"God Taishang Laojun Guanyin Bodhisattva Tathagata Buddha... bless me to succeed in one fell swoop!" Kumi held a talisman in his right hand, closed his eyes, and was chanting something non-stop.

"Kumi, what are you planting?" Lin Ze walked around behind Kumi and couldn't help but ask.

"Eh?" Kumi opened his eyes suddenly, and looked at Lin Ze and Ji Chengfeng in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"I'm planting a lotus in the center of the earth!" Kumi pointed to a small pit on the ground and said, "There is a lotus seed buried in it. I have sprinkled ground spirit stone powder in the soil according to the teacher's instructions. , now just wait for the fire to ripen it, and let it break out of the ground and grow into a flame lotus in the center of the earth!"

"Oh? Earth-centered flame lotus—is it a lotus that grows on land?" Lin Ze felt quite novel.

He saw that there was indeed a medicine mortar and pestle beside Kumi, which looked very dusty and inconspicuous, with a little shiny powder remaining inside.

"That's not true. The wild earth-core flame lotus grows in lava, but we can artificially cultivate it in the soil with spirit stones and fireball charms." Kumi smiled sideways while busy with his work: " If you want to know more, you can go to the cultivation forum, where there are a lot of materials to share about spiritual herbs."

"Well, I'll look it up online when I get back." Lin Ze looked at the sparkling powder on the ground again, and couldn't help asking in surprise, "Did you grind the spirit stone powder yourself? I heard that spirit stone is very hard. Woolen cloth!"

"Of course! Look at the skin on my palms!" Kumi seemed to have finally found someone who could complain. He immediately raised his hands and showed Lin Ze his reddened palms, with an aggrieved voice. .

Lin Ze felt sorry for him, he couldn't help massaging his arms twice, and then murmured: "Then... has your earth-core flame lotus grown?"

"No!" Kumi's face turned dark, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's all caused by the profiteer's senior during the school season sale! The fire bomb he gave me, the flames can burn the roof in a while, and the flames can burn the roof in a while. It’s not enough to light a cigarette! It’s a pit!”

Kumi gathered the black powder on the ground with his hand, pointed and said: "See, the lotus seeds in front have failed to ripen, and the teacher gave me a bag of lotus seeds with a total of [-] lotus seeds. If it is burned again, I will burn it again." I'm afraid it's going to get a zero.

"What... what should I do?" Lin Ze looked puzzled, and he looked at Ji Chengfeng, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Ji Chengfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, stretched out his hand from his trouser pocket, and said to Kumi, "Show me that fireball talisman."

"...Ah!?" Kumi immediately raised his head, hurriedly handed over the talisman in his hand, and hurriedly said, "Here you are! Here you are! Can you help me?"

"You have to see it to know." Ji Chengfeng said calmly.

So, Kumi and Lin Zeqiqi looked at him expectantly, under the eyes of such a pair of stars, Ji Chengfeng felt a little bit of pressure.

Fortunately, the problem with this talisman is not serious.

Ji Chengfeng looked it over, and commented concisely: "The person who drew the talisman is probably a novice, and the aura is a little unstable when he passes through several nodes of the talisman when he moves the pen."

As he said that, Ji Chengfeng raised his middle finger, clasped his thumb, and simply tapped twice on the talisman, the paper made two crisp sounds, and there was no unnecessary movement.

"Okay." Ji Chengfeng handed the talisman back, his face was flat.

"Thank you!" Kumi took the talisman gratefully, and immediately sent the demon power into it, trying to ignite the flame.

With a sound of "咻——", the talisman paper in Kumi's hand burned out of thin air, and a scent of sandalwood came out.

"Duh!" Kumi yelled softly, and the burnt talisman turned into a stream of flames, shooting towards the small pit in front of him, and then the flames spread for several feet, and began to burn slowly. Blazing temperature.

Lin Ze stared at the bright flame, his pupils reflected the flickering brilliance: "It's amazing! What kind of flame is this, it makes me have an urge to reach out and touch it."

"This is an illusion. In fact, spiritual fires are more dangerous than ordinary fires, because they are difficult to extinguish unless the spiritual energy in them is consumed."

Ji Chengfeng explained from the side: "Wood makes fire, and the flame contains the vitality of lotus seeds, so you instinctively want to get closer."

Lin Ze nodded ignorantly. He saw a young green shoot bursting out of the ground in the firelight, and his eyes widened in surprise.

The green buds gradually pulled out the slender stems. At this moment, Kumi pinched a fire control formula with his hands, and with a violent wave of his hands, the flame immediately separated into countless strands, coiling the stems and branches.

In the bright firelight, the stems spread and grew wide leaves. Soon, the flame gradually shrank, and countless sparks were absorbed into the stems and branches, turning into golden spots on the green stems and leaves.

Finally, the moment the flames gathered at the top of the stem, a faint phantom of a flower bud emerged from the rising flames.

Kumi stared at the bud without blinking. Seeing that it showed no signs of opening and the flames had already faded, his complexion changed, and he immediately raised his hand to trigger another "Spring Breeze Talisman".

A warm wind blew past, and the weak flame immediately stimulated its final potential, became radiant, and the flower bud finally trembled slightly.

In the blazing fire, a red lotus, as gorgeous as a raging fire, blooms gorgeously. The layered and complicated petals are like the skirt of the queen's court. When it stretches out, it is shockingly beautiful and soul-stirring.

A strange fragrance of flowers wafted out leisurely.

"Wow..." Lin Ze opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but exclaimed.

This lotus flower is actually made of flames, the edges of the petals are illusory and fuzzy, like clusters of empty flames, beautiful and magical.

But Kumi was not moved by the beauty of the lotus at all. He flew over and directly pulled the petals with his hands, and counted the number of lotus seeds in the lotus pod with extremely rough movements.

"One, two, three..."

Kumi's eyes became wider and wider, and finally, he danced with excitement: "Nine! There are nine lotus seeds! The best medicinal lotus! Hahahaha... I am really a genius to be able to cultivate so successfully for the first time! "

Kumi immediately reached out and took out two round golden lotus seeds, threw them into Lin Ze's hands, and said cheerfully: "These two golden lotus seeds are for you! Eat one when you are refining Qi, it can increase your cultivation speed!"

Lin Ze was caught off guard: "Then... then thank you!"

When he closed his palms together, the round golden lotus seed circled around and was held in his hand, exuding a warm temperature.

"It's okay, I'm going to go to the teacher for a job. The remaining seven lotus seeds are just enough for me to make a furnace of Qi Condensation Pill this afternoon. Please try the effect when the time comes!" Kumi put his hands on his hips and laughed. road.

Kumi's current expression and posture are very similar to Tuzki's emoji package on the Internet - "Keep your hips on your hips for a while, but I'm so awesome."

Lin Ze couldn't help pursing his lips in joy, and glanced at Ji Chengfeng, only to find that he also smiled helplessly.

Kumi was careless. He bent down and uprooted the Yanlian lotus. The red lotus root stained with mud looked dirty and stained his pants. He didn't mind it, and ran away. Gone, like a hopping rabbit.

"Then... shall we go back?" Lin Ze looked at Ji Chengfeng, feeling a little itchy in his heart, wanting to go back and taste the lotus seeds.

"Okay." Ji Chengfeng naturally had no objection.
