Chapter 20
Although the tea tree has an unsightly shape, its branches and leaves are very lush.
Although this cave is not deep and faces the east, there are protruding rocks above the cave entrance. Only when the sun rises does the sunlight reach the tea trees for a short period of time every day.
Ordinarily, with so little sunshine here, it is actually not suitable for sun-loving tree species like tea trees to survive.
Generally, sun-loving plants can survive well in such an environment, but how can they still grow with lush branches and leaves?
This was really unconventional, but considering that this was the world of cultivating immortals, Mo Xuan felt that it was not surprising. After all, in Mo Xuan's view, cultivating immortals was something that was not consistent with common sense.
After sniffing my nose, the elegant fragrance of tea made me feel relaxed and happy, and my mind felt a little clearer.
“You can tell it’s good tea just by smelling it.”
Mo Xuan walked around the tea tree, thinking about how to transplant the entire tea tree into space.
Suddenly there was a sound of wind, and a gust of green wind blew from behind the tea tree, stirring up the rich aroma of tea accumulated in the cave.
Why is there wind in this cave?
Mo Xuan became vigilant and carefully walked around behind the tea tree, only to find that there was a crack one palm wide and more than two meters long on the wall of the cave diagonally above the tea tree.
"Huh~? There is such a big crack here."
Mo Xuan looked into the crack. The crack sloped upward, and he could see the sky directly behind the cliff outside.
Judging from this position, the crack is facing the tea tree, and sunlight shines in through the crack, increasing the tea tree's daily lighting time.
"It turns out there is so much sunshine. I thought that in the world of cultivating immortals, we don't need to pay attention to common sense..."
At first, Mo Xuan was a little strange. How did the tea tree grow in the cave and allow the fragrance of tea to drift down the mountain? It seemed that it was dried by the air blowing from the cracks.
This wind does not blow all the time, but occasionally there will be a gust, which means that you can't smell the fragrance just standing at the foot of the mountain. It also depends on luck.
Moreover, when the fragrance reaches the bottom of the mountain, it is actually very weak. Except for people like Mo Xuan who have been in contact with tea gardens for a long time, people who are not familiar with the fragrance of tea cannot tell what this subtle fragrance is at all.
Looking at it this way, it is not difficult to understand that Mo Xuan can make mistakes in the crowded Liuzhi Peak.
In fact, there was one thing that Mo Xuan didn't know, and that was the faint scent of tea he smelled, which most people couldn't smell at all.
He can smell it because he has strengthened his five senses after practicing physical training, so he can smell it.
...Mo Xuan touched his chin and continued to think about how to dig out the tree and transplant it into space.
Don't say that you only pick tea leaves, leave the trees here to grow freely, and pick them later or leave them to future generations.
Mo Xuan has space for spiritual planting, so of course he needs to take the tree away to maximize the benefits.
As for future generations, well, the tea tree is an old tea tree. Just now, Mo Xuan saw tea seeds on the tea tree. He will find a tea seed to plant in the ground later and leave it to future generations.
Mo Xuan's eyes lit up and she thought to herself: Hey, this is such a good decision, I'm so great!
He pulled out his dagger and dug into the damp, rotten ground.
Unexpectedly, when the dagger was pushed down hard, a squeaking sound was heard. It turned out that except for a layer of rotten leaves that was not too thick, the ground was entirely made of hard stones.
After Mo Xuan cleared all the rotten leaves on the surface into a pile, he discovered that the roots of the tea tree actually grew on the rock surface.
The rock surface is covered with tree roots, some are as thick as a python, and some are as thin as spider silk. The thick and thin roots are crisscrossed like a spider web.
Although there are quite a lot of tree roots, none of them have penetrated into the rocks, which makes it easier to handle...
Mo Xuan transformed into a little giant, his scalp almost touching the roof of the cave. His enlarged palms directly pulled the tea tree, holding down the crown with one hand and grabbing the trunk with the other, using brute force.
There was a crackling sound, and some small roots and rocks were too tight and could not withstand such a huge force, and they broke countless times in an instant.
Mo Xuan looked at it and felt that the problem was not big. As long as a few main roots were continuous and some small roots were not broken, it was not necessary that all the roots were intact.
After pulling out the tea tree and planting it into the space, Mo Xuan searched again in the cave that suddenly became empty, but found nothing good. Originally, he thought there might be some treasure under the tea tree, which made the tea tree grow so vigorously.
As a result, nothing was found except hard rocks or rocks.
There is probably a treasure inside the rock. He has no way to get it now. He can only talk about it when he has the opportunity in the future.
However, in the spirit of plucking feathers, Mo Xuan also collected the rotten leaf mud that he had previously cleaned into a pile and piled it under the newly planted tea tree.
Later, Mo Xuan discovered that there was a small amount of blue moss on the cave wall that gave off a weak blue fluorescence.
Although she didn't know if it was of any use, the girly heart in Mo Xuan felt that the blue fluorescence would be quite beautiful when gathered together, so she carefully selected the ones that could glow into the space and continued to plant them under the tea trees.
Already.
After a final check, there was really nothing left. After planting tea seeds, Mo Xuan returned angrily. The so-called wild goose plucking its hair was nothing more than that.
Although it is said that the wild geese are plucking their hair, in fact, apart from an old tea tree that was uprooted by Mo Xuan, there are only some shiny and beautiful moss, and the harvest is not big.
As for what is special about the tea tree, whether the tea leaves on it can be drunk, and whether it has any special effects, we can only study it slowly in the future.
The old saying that it is easier to go up a mountain than it is difficult to go down does not apply here. For an expert like Mo Xuan, going down the mountain is faster.
"Ang hum hum... hum hum~..."
"Come up if you can. What's your name? Uncle Yan is right here. You can't reach me and blame me..." Yan Jiu sat on the tree trunk, his arrogant voice echoing far away.
After descending from Liuzhi Peak, Mo Xuan heard it from a distance.
Yan Jiu sat on the tree and looked at the little monsters gathered in a circle under the tree. He felt no disturbance in his heart and was not afraid at all.
Not only did he have the mood to yell arrogantly at each other with the little monsters, but he also had the mood to analyze whether this was the group of little monsters that Mo Xuan had killed before.
Yan Jiu is more inclined to believe that this is a new group, because the little monsters all look the same. He only knows one that is different, but after searching for a long time, he did not see his more familiar and different little monster.
tail.
Although it is also possible that the little short tail has already encountered misfortune, and now it encounters him again for some reason, and surrounds Yan Jiu in the tree again.
Although the little monster was not powerful, Mo Xuan did not approach it hastily. Instead, he hid his body and slowly groped towards it.
"Ang hum hum..." "Hum hum~..."
But he didn't expect that he would be discovered as soon as he got closer to see the situation around the big tree.
Some of the little monsters outside screamed and ran towards him!
