Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 11 Resurrection Grass and Rolling Beans

After cleaning up the workshop, Guangtai took the scabbard of his sword and headed for a distant village.

When we arrived at the village, the villagers were working in the fields.

A river flows from the ancient mountains and runs through the village, while streams formed by melting snow also flow nearby and join the river that flows from the foot of the mountain.

The climate in the ruins of the capital is a bit cold, and the only time to sow is in the summer. In the Pokémon world, crops grow very fast, and on fertile land, there will be a harvest within a month, which is quite contrary to common sense.

However, the fruits grow faster. If it is in game time, they will bear fruit after 48 hours.

Guangtai saw many gophers appearing in the fields.

Diglett, the mole Pokémon.

It has an oval brown head and a red nose, and its body is buried in the ground. The ground it digs will swell up, the soil will be properly turned, and its feces will make the soil fertile, becoming the most suitable field for farming.

They made wonderful sounds as they plowed the fields, causing the ground to quickly rise into layers of soil, and the villagers followed them to sow seeds.

Guangtai quickly found the medicine shop, and the person who planted the medicine field was a bald old man named Jiulu, a classic image of an old man in a medicine shop.

After Guangtai came here, the old man in the medicine shop squinted his eyes and looked at Guangtai carefully for a while.

"I never thought someone would come to live here. I heard someone moved into that abandoned workshop. It turned out to be you."

"I didn't see you the last time you came to the village to say hello. I heard you came from Sinnoh. Are you here to investigate the ruins?"

"That sword" The old man saw the single sword sheath, and the single sword sheath greeted with its own ribbon:

"Yo!"

"It's a Pokémon I've never seen before. It's amazing. It looks like a weapon with life." The old man was quite interested in the Sword Scabbard and observed it carefully for a long time. It was not until Guang Moss explained his intention that the old man retracted his gaze and showed a gentle smile:

"Huhuhu, so you want to purchase medicinal herb seeds and vegetable seeds? No problem, come and take a look."

"Also, although it's a bit too far from here, if you want to buy some strange goods, go to the distant ruins of the capital of gods."

"In a small house near the temple, there is a traveling merchant with blond hair, a blue coat, and a large backpack. He looks quite young. He has been staying there since last year. He seems to be serving as a guide for the old man in the mountains to the ruins. Perhaps he is also an explorer."

A traveling merchant? A material merchant in the wild, right?
Guangtai was somewhat happy. After all, it was not easy to find merchants selling goods in such a remote mountain area. The appearance of material merchants in the wild meant that they must have high-quality rare materials in their hands.

After getting useful information from the old man in the medicine house, Guangtai quickly became familiar with the old man.

The Shendu area is inhabited not only by the descendants of the Shenhe people, but also by the descendants of the ancient Johto people. This is also an unsolved mystery in past historical legends. Why did the people of Sinnoh go south across the sea, and why did the people of Johto go north into the mountains? Even the old men cannot explain it. After all, the legend has been fragmented for too long.

The old man packed various medicinal herbs and their seeds for Guangtai. Some were commonly seen medicines, while others were herbs that Guangtai had never seen before.

"This is a healing herb. Although it looks like a green onion, it is very effective when used to make medicine. It was brought from the Sinnoh region. Perhaps the environment in the capital is very similar to that region, so it quickly grew everywhere here."

"This is the vitality bud, also known as the morning dew bud, which is an indispensable ingredient in making traditional Chinese medicine."

"This is insecticide. It's actually just a wild grass with medicinal effects. It tastes very bitter and is the raw material of traditional Chinese medicine. After drying, grind it into powder and take it with water."

"And this." The old man in the pharmacy opened a medicine drawer and took out a emerald green curly herb.

"This is resurrection grass. Although it is very bitter and spicy, it is very powerful as a medicine. Even if a person is dying, taking it will quickly restore vitality. Plant it in the ground and its rhizome will grow very large. This is the vitality root."

"Resurrection grass is a very useful medicinal herb, make good use of it."

Guangtai looked at these herbs. In addition to those that he had seen in the game, there were also some that had never appeared in the game. They were similar to normal medicinal materials in the original world. In addition to the common function of restoring life, they also had the functions of calming the mind, clearing away heat and detoxifying, and nourishing and strengthening the body.

The old man in the medicine house said: "Medicine is indispensable. These herbs grow very fast. If you water them well after planting, they will sprout and grow gradually within a few days, and you will have a harvest within a month."

Hearing this, Guangmoss could only sigh in his heart once again how unscientific the growth of plants in the Pokémon world was. But the benefits of this growth rate were also obvious.

"I saw some Digletts in the village, are they the villagers' Pokémon?"

"No." Old Man Julu shook his head. "The gophers and we just coexist. They help us cultivate the land, and we sow the crops they like to eat for them and share these crops with them as a reward."

Gophers will gnaw on crops, tree roots or some vegetables. To prevent this, farmers will plant crops or trees that gophers like to eat in exchange for the gophers to help with farming. Gopher farms in many places do this.

Guangtai nodded and pondered in his heart. Although Diglett can make the land fertile by tilling the land, the interesting thing is that Diglett itself cannot learn the trick of tilling the land. It must evolve into Diglett to learn it. However, that is just the gameplay.

Generally speaking, the tillage move can be seen as turning ordinary tillage into a transformation skill. After all, this move was only implemented in the sixth generation.

Ordinary farmland only requires Pokémon with Ground attributes. Turning over hard soil is what Ground-type Pokémon are best at. Even if you're more traditional, using Kentaro to plow with cattle is not impossible.

This incident was also recorded in Zhuqing Village Farm during the Xicui era.

After all, there are too few people who can master the move "ploughing", but there are a lot of ground-type Pokémon, even Groudon can do it.

"Thanks for the herbs. I will grow them well."

Thoughts gradually began to surge in Guangtai's mind, and the information appeared again. This time there was a little more condensed information, but the focus was still on rare materials.

[Rare medicinal material: Resurrection Grass. ]

[Description: A very bitter herb. Can restore the health of a dying Pokémon.]

[Number of processes to be obtained: 1]

[Unique Chinese Medicine Production Process (C): The recovery effect of the Chinese medicine you make will be doubled, but it will become slightly more bitter. However, if you give it to a Pokémon that likes bitter taste, it will not only not reduce its intimacy, but will increase its intimacy.]

[Through crafting, you can obtain the medicine items "Chinese Medicine" and "Good Chinese Medicine". ]

"And these are seeds of crops. I'll give you some, too." The old man in the medicine shop brought over some more seeds.

With the help of gophers, the medicine house not only grows medicinal herbs, but also normal crops.

"You definitely won't be able to eat fresh vegetables when you're traveling. Don't worry about the time. The land here is very fertile. Now that summer has arrived, the vegetables and crops will sprout and grow soon after they are planted. There are a lot of wastelands near the abandoned workshops, so we can make use of them."

The old man in the medicine shop said, "And you should know that medicine and food have the same origin. Common vegetables can sometimes have medicinal effects. Some vegetables are food when you are hungry and medicine when you are sick."

"I'll lend you the mole, but you have to wait a few days. Come back to me after you finish farming here. During this time, you can clean up the wasteland near the workshop."

"Can you lend me the Diglett?" Guangtai was a little surprised. After all, old man Juru had just said that those Digletts were not the Pokémon in the village.

"Yes, just feed those children what they like to eat, some vegetables and tree roots."

Old man Julu stroked his beard with a smile: "Diglett is a very easy-to-talk Pokémon. Although they will steal vegetables at first, as long as you give them the food they like, they will come and help plow the land."

"I'll prepare the food. It won't take much effort. If we send these kids over, they can help you reclaim the wasteland in one day. I'm just worried that you won't be able to do it fast enough."

"If you feel embarrassed, then next time when you are looking for materials in the wild and find any rare medicinal herbs, just bring some for me."

"By the way, if you find the 'Muzi Fruit', please bring it to me. This fruit grows in the forest and has a long growth cycle. It is an excellent tree fruit for making medicine. However, there are only a few ripe fruits on a tree, and Pokémon also like them very much. When they are ripe, they will be picked up immediately, so they are not often seen."

Guangtai thought it was great and thanked him quickly. After all, with the help of the gopher, the soil would become more fertile, the herbs would grow faster and better, and most importantly, it would save a lot of energy and time.

And this time I bought all the herbs and vegetables at once.

Cauliflower, turnip, garlic, mung bean, wheat, radish, cucumber, and onion.

I don't have much vegetable stock left, and it's not realistic to go out into the wild to forage for food every day. Although there are many fruits in the forest, it would not be good if I encountered a bad-tempered wild Pokémon that competed with me for them.

After getting those packets of seeds, my thoughts surged again, gathering into information:
[Rare crop seeds: rolling beans. ]

[Description: A large, firm and plump bean. It is a favorite food of bird Pokémon and fish Pokémon, and can attract them to gather where it is thrown.]

【Get relevant knowledge: 1. 】

[Grower: Good at growing various herbs and crops, shortening their growth cycle and making them grow stronger, which can make grass-attribute Pokémon grow faster. ]

Oh, the rolling beans from the Xicui era? Do such beans still exist now?
With knowledge and skills gained, it was really a good decision to come to the village this time.

"By the way, I also want to buy some rags in the village."
