Chapter 146 A Blade of Grass Can Kill a Dragon
"I heard that Professor Ye brought back a long-leaf sword grass from the secret realm of breakthrough."
"I am more interested in plants like Swordwort, so I hope to visit it."
"Oh." In a certain research institute, Professor Ye was watering the flowers and answering his cell phone. He nodded and said, "That's it."
She almost got it. Lu Ran, that dog, is good at using sword weapons. Now, Lu Ran must have had a sudden idea to try whether the long-leaf sword grass could be used as a sword.
"It was no problem." However, when faced with Lu Ran's request, Professor Ye regretted:
"Professor Lu, if you had found me earlier, you might still have a chance."
"What's wrong?" Lu Ran was surprised.
"That long-leaf sword grass has almost been raised to death by me. Now it has withered. It has lost its toughness and sharpness and has become soft."
“If you want to visit Sword Grass, it’s really not the right time to come.”
Lu Ran:? ? ?
Grass (a plant). If you are not a botanist, how can you survive?
"It's okay, Professor Ye, are you free now?" Lu Ran still wanted to take a look.
"Okay, then come to my place. We should live quite close to each other."
Professor Ye and Lu Ran are both professors in the cultivation department, but one is majoring in cultivation and the other is majoring in cooking. The research institutes of both parties are not too far apart. After a while, Lu Ran came to visit. Professor Ye is in his mid-twenties, wearing a white coat, with a round face, light freckles, and glasses under his short brown hair.
When the other party saw Lu, he said to this young and promising little brother who was 10 years younger than him: "It's the first time we meet, hello."
"Hello."
After the two shook hands to express their friendship, Professor Ye turned around and led the way: "If you want to see the long-leaf sword grass, come with me."
With that said, she led Lu Ran towards the huge open-air research institute that looked like a botanical garden. Along the way, Lu Ran saw many special plants planted in pots. As for why they were not planted on the ground, Lu Ran understood the information about the soil.
[Red soil]: Suitable for the growth of fire-type vegetation.
[Black soil]: Suitable for the growth of dark vegetation.
The soil used for each plant is different and colorful. Obviously, the ordinary soil of Blue Star cannot meet the growth environment of Professor Ye's experiments.
"This is it."
Soon, Professor Ye led Lu Ran to a separate area. There was only one plant here, and a special light source was hung on it to provide nutrients. However, it still could not stop the plant from withering. Lu Ran looked at the long-leaf sword grass. Its appearance is very similar to the Chinese herbal medicine "sisal" on Blue Star. Of course, the difference is that sisal has many leaves, more than a dozen or dozens of them, and each one looks very much like a sword. But there is only one piece of long-leaf sword grass.
[Name]: Longleaf Sword Grass
[Level]: Rare
[Introduction]: A rare ferocious plant in the world has a very small probability of giving birth to spiritual intelligence and starting the road to evolution.
Sure enough, Xiezhi's introduction was very different from those supplement resources suitable for pet beasts.
"What a pity." At this moment, Lu Ran also knew why Professor Ye was so sorry, because most of the green sword leaves that should have been extremely tall and tall were now withered and yellow, and the sharpest parts also had a tendency to wither. Source-changing novels
This is already a dangerous plant that is "dying".
"After I transplanted it from the secret realm here, I immediately simulated its living environment in various ways and provided it with the nutrients it needs."
“But we still can’t let it grow as smoothly as it did in its original place of growth.”
"Not to mention cultivating it to the point of birth of intelligence, whether it can survive smoothly as an ordinary plant is still a question." Professor Ye laughed at himself:
"Sure enough, we are still aiming too high. The next research on plant pet beasts should be conducted from some extraordinary plants of ordinary races."
The main thing is that the loss of raising a rare and dangerous plant to death is too great and no one can bear it.
"indeed."
"I wonder, Professor Ye, if you can sell me this long-leaf sword grass that is about to die?" At this time, Lu Ran suddenly said.
"Huh?" Professor Ye's glasses reflected the light and he said puzzledly: "If it is a long-leaf sword grass that is in perfect condition, I am not surprised that you made this request. Many people have wanted to buy my long-leaf sword grass before."
"But you have also seen that it looks like this now. I have tried various methods, nourishing it with plant pets, and using special resources to revive it, but nothing can stop it from withering. In less than a month, it will It should be completely dead, why did you buy it? "
"Wait a minute, you don't want to cook with long-leaf sword grass." Professor Ye was in disbelief. That would never work. She had been raising this sword grass for a long time. Although it was raised to death, she still had some feelings for it. At the end of her life It would be too miserable to be reduced to food for a moment.
"How is that possible?" The corner of Lu Ran's mouth twitched. Who didn't know that Xi Zhi was not suitable for food at all. Source-changing novels
The nutritional value may not be as high as some rare resources. It doesn’t matter if the nutritional value is low. Most of the dangerous plants are the kind that will cause damage to the body after being eaten. Just like some common plants on Blue Star, some are delicious and nutritious, while some are unpalatable and harmful to the body.
"Mingren, don't tell secrets. I am indeed interested in Sword Grass. If Professor Ye feels that it cannot be saved, why not let me try."
"If I can save someone's life, it's because I'm very capable, which is equivalent to picking up the slack."
"If I fail to save him, I will admit defeat, and Professor Ye will be able to make up for your losses."
"I wonder if Professor Ye can give it up at a low price."
Lu Ran said, if it is a normal long-leaf sword grass, unless Lu Ran sells some of his most precious resources, he will never be able to afford it, even if this long-leaf sword grass has not yet given birth to spiritual intelligence. However, a long-leaf sword grass that was about to die gave Lu Ran hope.
Can the Zhuanling Pot rejuvenate this long-leaf sword grass that has lost its vitality? Lu Ran had bought a lot of plant ingredients that were almost rotten in Infinite City before. After throwing them into the Zhuanling Pot, they were fresh and full within a short time.
Although long-leaf sword grass is not a food ingredient, Lu Ran feels that awakening it does not conflict with the operating mechanism of the Spirit Transformation Pot. The only thing that was a little difficult was that the quality of the long-leaf sword grass was too high, and the quality was already close to that of the Zhuanling Pot. It would probably take a long time to awaken the vitality. During this period, Lu Ran would no longer be able to use the Zhuanling Pot.
But it doesn't matter too much. Anyway, he has no shortage of ingredients and crystal coins recently. The dragon ingredients prepared for him by the Beast Control University are all very fresh and there is no need for the Spirit Transformation Pot.
Lu Ran had indeed taken a liking to this sword grass. It was of moderate length, so it wouldn't look weird if Mr. Ha held it in his mouth.
At this moment, after hearing Lu Ran's words, Professor Ye frowned, looked at the Longleaf Sword Grass, and then at Lu Ran. Lu Ran said it had a way to reverse the state of Longleaf Sword Grass? To be honest, although she purchased information from the Cat-Ear Maid Cafe and knew several possible methods of reversing life, she was unable to achieve it with Blue Star's current means.
Therefore, she was not very optimistic about Lu Ran.
"It's okay." Professor Ye has indeed given up on the long-leaf sword grass. According to Lu Ran, this can indeed minimize the loss.
In addition, Lu Ran was young and promising, so Professor Ye was willing to sell Lu Ran this favor.
However, if you exchange the long-leaf sword grass, even the withered long-leaf sword grass, for some crystal coins and some ordinary resources, Professor Ye still feels at a loss. After all, she had spent a lot of effort to obtain this sword grass and cultivate it.
"But can I make a request?"
"I don't need crystal coins."
"I want to ask Professor Lu to help me cook something and barter." Professor Ye looked at Lu Ran.
"Dragon cuisine???"
If you can exchange it for Dragon Cuisine, it can be said to be the most painless purchase method. Sure enough, in this era, having money is not as good as having a unique skill.
"That's about it. I'd like to ask Lu Ran to teach you how to use your cooking skills to help make some fertilizer."
Lu Ran:?
Okay, okay, your botanists in the Department of Cultivation are all cooking like this, right?
"I also cultivate a few special plants that contain dragon power. I usually water them with dragon blood. After seeing you, Professor Lu, I suddenly thought that the fertilizer transformed from dragon cuisine would be good for them. What changes does growth bring about?”
Professor Ye pushed up his glasses, his interest greatly increased. The cultivation of sword grass had failed, but other experiments were still going on. Source-changing novels
"No problem." Lu Ran agreed immediately.
Next, Professor Ye became his partner, and the two studied dragon plants together. Throwing in a bit of Dragon Cuisine makes perfect sense. Just like that, Lu Ran himself didn't expect that with such a spread, he could easily get the long-leaf sword grass. Although it is said to be a sword grass that is about to die. After leaving Professor Ye, Lu Ran put the long-leaf sword grass into the Zhuanling Pot. In fact, it won't take too long. After a day or two, Lu Ran will be able to know whether the Zhuanling Pot has any effect on it by observing the changes in the long-leaf sword grass.
If it doesn't work, Lu Ran can only admit it. If it works, even if it takes a few months, it will be a huge profit. Of course, Professor Ye is not at a loss either. He can obtain dragon fertilizer from the only dragon chef to minimize the loss.
Lu Ran liked this win-win result.
"Okay, as for weapons, let's bet on this first." Lu Ran had everything done and planned to make further preparations in order to conquer the legendary secret realm. He took out his mobile phone and this time contacted Fang Lan.
"What are you doing?" Lu Ran asked immediately after the call was connected.
"We are conducting experiments! Waiting for the reaction." Fang Lan said.
Fang Lan also applied to Yushou University for a laboratory of his own.
For the Beast Control University, Fang Lan is also a super talent. Although her ranking in the freshman competition is not top, the problem is that she is not a combat type. She is a toxicology major in the Department of Medicine. The first three generations of beast masters in the Xia Kingdom only had a small number of people. Most of them are combat type. Even if there are deputy positions, there are more cooks and blacksmiths. Doctors are a rare profession. And those who are proficient in the poison system are even fewer, very few.
After all, how could a normal beast master ignore the domineering thunder and fire elements and not cultivate them, but instead choose dangerous attributes like poison?
You know, when studying the poison system, if you are not careful, you will kill yourself. Even if there are people doing research at the beginning, most of them will die on the road of research. Starting a field of knowledge from scratch is the most difficult development process. Unlike Fang Lan, who was given a systematic toxicology textbook as a newcomer.
Currently, there are no more than ten beast masters in Xia Kingdom who are proficient in the poison system. How could the Beast Control University not pay attention to a poison genius like Fang Lan who came from a medical family background? The training level may be higher than that of combat geniuses who are more powerful than her.
"Have you seen the news about the Snowfield Federation's attack on the legendary secret realm?" Lu Ran asked.
"I see! Are you also eager to conquer the first-level legendary secret realm! Take me with you!! Let's form a team together." On the other side of the phone, Fang Lan's sleepy voice became energetic.
"I refuse." Lu Ran said.
Fang Lan: ? ? ?
"Legendary secret realm is different from Abyss secret realm. It is too dangerous inside. I can't guarantee your safety. Even I have to be extremely careful. If I am careless, I may not be able to get out."
"Moreover, according to my intelligence network, the more people challenge the legendary secret realm, the worse the reward. If there is no very suitable teammate, it is safer and more cost-effective to play alone."
"Okay." Fang Lan pouted. She is not an unreasonable person. She knows that when challenging a powerful secret realm, if the team's strength is uneven, it is more dangerous than playing alone.
Pig teammates are the most terrible. It is very likely that they will be used as a breakthrough point for the team by a powerful boss. When a companion is in crisis, once the teammates rescue, it will affect the rhythm of the entire battle. Fang Lan obviously doesn't want to be Lu Ran's "spider teammate".
"However, although you can't personally participate in the secret realm strategy, it is still okay to participate indirectly. Can you give me another dose of venom like I did when I attacked the abandoned test site secret realm last time?" Lu Ran said with a smile.
"Heh." Fang Lan said, "No problem."
"But dragon creatures are very resistant to poison, and their dragon blood has a certain detoxification function. It is very difficult to prepare poison that works on them."
"If I can also enter the secret realm and use poison energy to strengthen the properties of the venom, it will be much easier to take effect, but carrying only poison may be a bit harsh."
"So, there is a way, right?" Lu Ran said.
"Well, I need a sample of the dragon blood of the diamond dragon, the more the better, only in this way can I prepare a highly targeted venom."
"Can I get it?" Fang Lan asked.
"Yes! But give me some time, I will send it to you within half a month."
"Okay." Fang Lan said, "I'll wait for your dragon blood."
Two days later.
The Beast Taming University officially opened.
But Lu Ran, it seems that he doesn't have to go to class or give lectures.
In the forging department, Lu Ran, because he mastered the flame spirit, was more skilled than some forging masters in smelting mineral materials. He wasted this talent by taking classes with ordinary freshmen, so Master Lin chose to give Lu Ran a special lesson and let him learn inscription carving first.
And the cooking department didn't want the teaching to delay Lu Ran's research time too much. Although Lu Ran could teach the basics, it was also unnecessary and was a waste of talent. The training department directly set Lu Ran's knife skills and fire skills courses as advanced courses, which could only be taken by elite students selected at the end of the semester. In this way, Lu Ran was no longer disturbed by trivial matters and focused on studying cooking, plus training pets. During this period, he also constantly tried complex dishes, such as dragon beard noodles, meat dragon, spicy lobster, squirrel dragon fish, abandoning the original barbecue and adding different extraordinary ingredients and ingredients.
Among them, there were overturned cases, and there were also cases of increased nutritional value.
But Lu Ran was having a great time trying it. After all, he was very happy to have something to eat. Even if it failed, the nutritional value at most did not reach the estimated standard of 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 greater than 10, but the taste was still good. Having just finished drinking the dragon blood vermicelli soup, Lu Ran observed the situation of the long-leaf sword grass as usual.
"Hmm?" After two days, the long-leaf sword grass finally had some changes. It was not in a bad direction. On the contrary, compared with when Lu Ran just took it back, its life form was much better. The withered places were stained with a hint of green again!
"Grass, give me some strength. I don't expect you to be born with intelligence like Professor Ye. You just need to recover the vitality of a normal sword grass. When the time comes, I will let the beast masters of other countries see what it means to kill a real dragon with a blade of grass!" Lu Ran tried to use telepathy to talk to the long-leaf sword grass, regardless of whether the long-leaf sword grass, which had not yet been born with intelligence, could understand.
