    The annual ginseng has one compound leaf with three leaflets, which is called "Sanhua"; the two-year-old ginseng has one compound leaf with five leaflets, called "Slap"; the three-year-old ginseng has two compound leaves with five leaflets, called "Erjiazi"  It takes three years for ginseng to bloom and bear fruit; four-year-old ginseng has three compound leaves, which is called "Dengtaizi"; five-year-old ginseng has four compound leaves, which is called "four-grade leaves"; six-year-old ginseng has five compound leaves, which is called "  There are also "five-grade leaves" and six compound leaves, which are called "six-grade leaves". After ginseng has grown for six years, the number of leaves will not change.  Some time ago, Yu Daiyan listened to Zhou Tiansheng's suggestion and wanted to use the "power of transformation" to catalyze wild elixirs to greatly increase their potency. In the process of searching for wild elixirs, he was almost killed by Wan Xin.  Zhang Sanfeng was very scared at the time, but after hearing his thoughts, he became interested.  "However, there have been people in Wudang Mountain for a long time, but all the wild ginseng of sufficient age has been harvested, and the rest are some small ginseng that has not matured in one or two years, and is of little use.  Even with Zhang Zhenren's foot power, he searched the whole mountain and found only 300 to 50 small ginseng leaves. Among them, one was a sixth-grade leaf, four were fifth-grade leaves, twelve were fourth-grade leaves, and the rest were  The fourth grade ginseng has no leaves.  Master Zhang didn't know how effective the power of metamorphosis would be on ginseng, and he didn't know if it would have any negative effects. He didn't dare to be careless, so he only took three plants of "Dengtaizi", "Slap" and "Sanhua" and applied them  "The power of transformation".  His true energy is extremely strong, and his "power of transformation" is like boiled water. He pours it into each ginseng plant until it can absorb no more.  I also got some insights: "Three Flowers" has the shortest ginseng age, and absorbs the least transformation power when it is saturated, followed by "Slap" and "Dengtaizi" the most.  After that, he became a hands-off shopkeeper and went on to do other things mysteriously. The process was left to Zhou Shengsheng and a few Taoist boys to observe.  "Three flowers" were given to Qingfeng and Mingyue; "slap" was given to Lingxiao and Xianyun; and "lamp stand" was given to Zhou Tiansheng.  The mountain road is rugged and the trek is difficult. Zhou Tiansheng has just acquired two more beasts of tribulation. Although their meanings are still unclear, he can always tell what changes are happening in the leaves.  The reason why I only look at the leaves is because with ginseng of this age, it is useless to look at any reed heads or reed bowls, but the leaves are the most obvious.  Zhou Tiansheng couldn¡¯t keep the two of them in vain, so he sent them to come every half day to report on the growth progress of the ginseng, and to drive away wild animals to prevent the ginseng from being eaten by wild animals.  Strange to say, the ginseng seemed to be digesting the power of metabolization for the first three days without any obvious reaction. On the fourth day, it suddenly grew a compound leaf and became a fourth-grade leaf. After that, it got out of hand. On the fifth day,  Another leaf grew, and on the sixth day, today, another compound leaf appeared. Zhou Tiansheng couldn't wait to see it, because ginseng with six leaves is ready to eat!  When they arrived with Zhou Zhiruo, they saw Zhang Sanfeng squatting on the ground and concentrating on playing with the ginseng.  Hearing the footsteps, Zhang Sanfeng turned around and said, "Tsang Tiansheng, Zhiruo, are you two here?" "Master Tai, how is the effect of this ginseng?" Zhou Tiansheng asked straight to the point.  "Wait, wait for Dai Yan to come over." Zhang Sanfeng turned back to fiddle with the leaves and red berries of the ginseng, "Oh my God, when did this ginseng fruit come out? Shouldn't it be available at this time? Oh, that's right.  , If you follow the season, why do you need the power of transformation? Tell me, what's wrong with this ginseng these days? "Zhou Tiansheng has been practicing the power of the Vajra these days, so he has no time to come over to check the growth of the ginseng.  Hegel and Shuang Yatou replied: "Master, this little ginseng didn't move for the first three days, and then a leaf grew the day before yesterday, a leaf grew yesterday, and this one just grew today." "What about the others?  For example, when did these little red ginseng fruits grow?" Zhang Sanfeng asked.  Zhou Tiansheng scratched his head, "I really didn't pay attention to this." Zhang Sanfeng said angrily: "Sheng Tiansheng, you must be lazy again and let your two strange birds come for you, right?" Zhou Tiansheng didn't answer, and then  Grand Master saw through "Dai Yan, are you here?" Zhang Sanfeng asked without looking back as he heard the cluttered footsteps behind him.  "Yes, Master." Yu Daiyan sat on the soft couch, bowed his hands, and showed no sign of reluctance. It seemed that his bone injuries were recovering well.  Then Qingfeng and Mingyue held his arms and slowly walked to the little ginseng.  Qingfeng handed over a small stool, and Yu Daiyan sat down and looked at the ginseng for a long time.  "Dai Yan, what do you think?" Zhang Sanfeng asked. Among these people, he and Yu Daiyan were the only ones with the ability to identify ginseng.  "It seems to be no different from ordinary six-leaf ginseng, but you can't tell much just by looking at the leaves and fruits. Master, you might as well take it out and look at the stems and whiskers." Yu Daiyan said.  Zhang Sanfeng pressed the ground with one palm. The land was filled with yellow air and the soil was like tide.?The ginseng receded, revealing a ginseng rhizome the size of a child's palm. It was withered and dull in luster. The soil retreated further, and the entire ginseng plant was exposed with its entire beard and tail intact, without any damage.  "Huh? Why are these roots so long?" Zhang Sanfeng and Yu Daiyan asked at the same time.  The stems of this ginseng are no different from ordinary ginseng, except that the roots are nearly twice as many as ordinary ginseng, and the length is almost twice as long, which surprised the two.  "Looking at the appearance, it looks like a good ginseng, quite similar to those old wild ginseng, but the roots are a little different and there are no pearl spots." Yu Daiyan said.  Ginseng is not best for its plump shape and bright color. On the contrary, the less starch content in wild ginseng, the more the ginseng looks like a dead tree root, and the better the medicinal effect.  Most of the ginseng, which is plump in shape and bright in color and looks like a white radish, has extremely high starch content and tastes just like potatoes. It has little to no medicinal effect.  "Well, let's think about it for my teacher." Zhang Sanfeng gently touched the stems and whiskers of ginseng, and said after careful consideration: "I have some ideas. Ginseng is nourished by the power of metaplasia and accelerates its growth in a short period of time, which will inevitably affect the surrounding soil.  The nutrients inside are exhausted, so they have to absorb nutrients from farther away, so the roots are extremely long. Daiyan, the pearl spots on the roots of ginseng you mentioned are the old ginseng growing underground, and the roots are rotting.  The scars left on the beard are known as pearl spots by ginseng pickers. It takes five or six years for this ginseng to grow out of the other ginseng. Naturally, the ginseng beard cannot rot, so its roots are  It seems to be more." "What Master said is very reasonable." Yu Daiyan thought about Zhang Sanfeng's words. The truth was very clear and he couldn't find any mistakes. He thought about it and said, "If you don't taste the effect of this ginseng, you will be wrong.  If you don¡¯t understand, why don¡¯t you let your disciple try?¡± Zhang Sanfeng pinched off two small pieces of ginseng, and used his fingernails to pluck two small pieces off, giving one to Yu Daiyan and trying the other himself.  The two of them closed their eyes and smacked for a moment, then opened their eyes at the same time, with joy on their faces, "This ginseng is comparable to wild ginseng of ten years!" Zhang Sanfeng suddenly smiled and said: "If you want to try the real medicinal effect of this catalytic ginseng, you have to  Look at the ginseng." He took out the ginseng and handed it to Zhou Tiansheng, saying, "Tian Sheng, please eat the whole plant and let Master Tai see the effect." "What? Eat all of it?  , If you eat a whole plant of this thing, you will die!" Zhou Tiansheng was so shocked that his mouth could fit into a fist, his eyes widened in disbelief.  In the past, he had heard someone who made ginseng wine say that it was okay to drink two or three ounces of this ginseng wine, but if he drank more, he would feel internally exhausted and have nosebleeds. This shows the strong nourishing effect of ginseng.  If you eat a whole plant like this, won¡¯t your orifices bleed to death?  "Can I just eat half of the plant?" Zhou Tiansheng bargained.  "Hey, other people will die, but you definitely won't. Don't wait any longer. The reason why I let you eat the whole plant at one time is because I'm worried that if you can't eat it all at once, it will cause the ginseng essence to be lost. Don't worry, Taishifu will not harm you.  Yours." Zhang Sanfeng smiled.  Zhou Tiansheng took the ginseng tremblingly, and ate it bite by bite with a grimace, as if what he saw in front of him was not ginseng, but something highly toxic like arsenic and crane's crown.  In less than a cup of tea, he had eaten up all the edible ginseng plant. He burped, and the force of the calamity was transported to the intestines and stomach. The intestines and stomach moved rapidly, and a ginseng plant was completely digested by him in a matter of seconds.  I saw that his face was as red as fire, as if he was about to bleed, his eyes were densely bloodshot and bulging out, and he was tearing at the Taoist robe on his body manically.  A huge wave of heat surged from his belly to his whole body, as if he was about to burst. He shouted: "Master, I can't survive. I'm going to die. It's so hot and uncomfortable! Master, save me!"
