Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 656
The so-called "planting incense" for white fragrant wood is actually not much different from the principle of planting pearls.

It is to use various means to injure the trunk of the white fragrant wood, and stimulate the tree to secrete resin to heal the wound.When the woody part of the trunk becomes infiltrated with resin, what is known as agarwood is formed.

The more resin that penetrates into the woody part and the longer the time, the better the quality of the agarwood.The woody part of the best agarwood has been saturated with resin, because the resin has a large specificity, so it sinks in water, which is also the origin of the name "agarwood".

Nowadays, the technology of artificially cultivating agarwood is very mature, and there are two commonly used methods for growing agarwood.One is to cut the trunk of the white incense tree with a knife and ax to stimulate the tree to secrete resin, and the cut part will form agarwood in the future; the other is to nail red-hot iron nails into the trunk densely, which can also achieve the same effect .

However, these two methods of deliberately destroying the trunk of the tree have their shortcomings.The biggest problem is that the damage to the woody part of the trunk is obvious, and it is difficult to form agarwood with a large enough volume.

The artificially cultivated agarwood pursues quick success, so the incense will start to grow when the white fragrant wood is very small, and it will not wait too long for the harvest to be sold after the incense is formed.The combination of these two reasons leads to the fact that the artificially cultivated agarwood is of mediocre quality and basically cannot be sold at a high price.

But for Zhao Lei, this is not a problem at all.The white fragrant wood planted in the gourd space must grow very fast, so there is no need to worry about the short time for the fragrance to affect the quality of the agarwood.

So the question facing Zhao Lei right now is which method to use to plant the fragrance of these white incense trees.

In all honesty, in Zhao Lei's eyes, these two methods of making incense are actually not very good.The damage to the woody part of the trunk is too serious, and obvious cavities will be formed, and it is impossible to produce high-quality agarwood.

For Zhao Lei, who attaches great importance to the brand "Fairy Gourd" and is dedicated to maintaining the brand image, this is something he absolutely cannot tolerate.

So after Zhao Lei pondered for a while, he quickly made a decision that he didn't know how to use these two methods of growing incense, but wanted to figure out a method of growing incense that was more in line with his requirements!
If Zhao Lei was an ordinary person, it would undoubtedly be very difficult to figure out a new method of growing incense.However, Zhao Lei is now a cultivator at any rate, and has mastered many abilities that ordinary people don't, so this matter will naturally not trouble him.

After a little thought, Zhao Lei had a very good idea.

Zhao Lei looked around a white fragrant tree a few times, pressed his hand gently on the trunk, closed his eyes slightly, and carefully felt the inside of the trunk with his mind.

Since he began to practice the Sanqingxin method, Zhao Lei's abilities in all aspects have been significantly strengthened, including the ability to sense.

So when Zhao Lei concentrated his energy and lightly pressed his hand on the trunk, not long after, he began to gradually understand the situation inside the trunk.Although it certainly cannot be compared with X-rays, it can still give a general idea.

After a while, Zhao Lei nodded slightly, and had a basic understanding of the texture and wood distribution inside the trunk.Then he aimed at a part of the tree trunk and slapped it hard.

Zhao Lei had already forced a trace of aura into his palm. This palm was strong and powerful. With a muffled sound of "pa", the tall body of the white fragrant tree shook violently, and many leaves fell one after another.

But Zhao Lei didn't stop, and hit the tree trunk several times in a row, until the tree body kept shaking and the leaves fell like snowflakes.

The part Zhao Lei chose to hit was the thickest part of the wood inside the trunk.And a faint aura has penetrated into the inside of the trunk. Although no change can be seen from the outside, the wooden part of the trunk has actually been destroyed.In this way, the white fragrant wood will secrete resin and repair the damaged woody parts, which is similar to other methods of growing incense.

At the same time, because the aura is invisible and qualityless, it will not cause holes in the woody parts.After the resin soaks through the damaged woody parts, large pieces of high-quality agarwood will form, which is what Zhao Lei hopes to see.

Zhao Lei was very satisfied with the successful completion of the incense planting work at the first attempt.So he made persistent efforts and used the same method to finish the rest of the white fragrant wood.

Although there are only a dozen white incense trees in the gourd space, to plant incense for these trees requires Zhao Lei to concentrate on feeling the internal conditions of the trees, and then activate the aura, so after completing all the incense planting work, Zhao Lei also feels a little tired .

Although he felt a little tired, Zhao Lei was still in a very happy mood.He looked at the white fragrant wood with most of its leaves fallen, and murmured expectantly: "When these white fragrant trees produce agarwood, it must be another big income, hehe!"

After resting for a while, Zhao Lei went back to the hut by the lake and drew two amulets that he had just realized.

The shadow of Tianhong Gate is getting closer and closer, and Zhao Lei dare not be careless at all.As long as he learned how to draw a new spell, he would draw a few for emergencies.

What's more, Zhao Lei had to be fully prepared to face that mysterious black-clothed woman next.

After doing all this, Zhao Lei came to the beach, summoned the pet dog and the gray parrot back, and prepared to take them out of the calabash space.After all, the company's security still needs the protection of black beans and soybeans, and they cannot be allowed to stay in the Hulu space forever.

The panda also knew that its owner and friends were leaving, so it reluctantly raised its huge tail, as if saying goodbye to them.Then it slowly swims to deep water and sinks into the water to look for food.

Xiao Huihui, who witnessed this scene, yelled loudly in a sad tone: "Yacht, my yacht sank!"

"You're a broken bird, where did you get the yacht!" Zhao Lei said to Xiao Huihui angrily, "The panda is just playing with you, if you use it as a yacht, be careful that that big guy will swallow you in one gulp!"

Thinking of the huge mouth of the killer whale, the gray parrot shuddered, and immediately flew into the air, circling and shouting: "Ah, thank you for not killing the panda!"

Zhao Lei couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "Where's your integrity?"

Xiao Huihui replied confidently: "Life is more important, ah, life is more important!"

Having nothing to say to this unscrupulous guy, Zhao Lei took his pet dog and gray parrot back near the Tai Chi Pisces pattern, and was about to leave Calabash Space with them.

However, at this moment, Zhao Lei inadvertently took a look at the Dementor nail placed next to him, and immediately stopped in his tracks.

Zhao Lei hurriedly picked up the soul-destroying nail and looked at it carefully. After a while, he muttered to himself with surprise on his face: "How did this thing become like this, it's almost unrecognizable!"
