Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 758
Harvesting agarwood, especially wild agarwood, is hard work.After all, tree species such as Agarwood, which can produce agarwood, all grow in the rainforests of Southeast Asia.It is hot and humid here, all kinds of poisonous insects and snakes are rampant, and the terrain is rough and difficult to walk. If you want to find high-quality agarwood in this kind of place, you need not only hard work, but also luck against the sky.

And as the price of agarwood has become higher and higher in recent decades, more and more local people have entered the rainforest to seek gold.This directly leads to the rapid reduction of agarwood resources, and it is even more difficult to find wild agarwood, especially the high-quality wild agarwood.As Abdul said, even if you have money, it is difficult to buy good agarwood these days.

But for Zhao Lei, these are not problems at all.His white incense wood is planted in the gourd space, and it is very convenient to collect agarwood.

As for the quality of the agarwood, there is no need to worry about it. Since the agarwood is cultivated in the gourd space, the quality must be first-rate.

After several months of growth, the original white incense tree saplings have grown into towering trees, forming a small forest.

Zhao Lei came to the Baixiangmu forest with tools, carefully compared all the Baixiangmu, and finally selected the target to be felled.

This white fragrant tree is the tallest, and the thickest part of the trunk almost requires two adults to hug it. It is a full five stories high, making Zhao Lei standing next to the tree look very small.

Looking up at the top of the tall tree, Zhao Lei muttered to himself, "Just chop this one down, don't let me down..."

While talking, Zhao Lei carefully observed the shape of this white fragrant tree, and after confirming the position of the center of gravity of the big tree, he started to cut the tree.The sharp ax focused heavily on the trunk near the root, and soon sawdust flew, and a gap was gradually cut in the trunk.

It is very difficult to cut down such a tall tree with an ax by manpower alone.Fortunately, Zhao Lei is no longer an ordinary person, so he doesn't feel tired at all.The sharp ax in his hand fluttered and quickly chopped off half of the tree trunk.

Zhao Lei had no intention of taking a break at all, and continued to cut trees hard.It didn't take long for the big tree to fall to the ground with a "creaking" sound, and the tall tree body just fell on the open space beside the woods.

"Aha, it's done!" Zhao Lei cheered softly, came to the side of the fallen tree, and began to clean the branches on the trunk.

Driven by Zhao Lei's huge strength, the sharp ax easily cut off the branches, leaving only the bare trunk.

God bless, come out with a good piece of agarwood! "Zhao Lei muttered to himself when he found the location where the incense was planted before, and then carefully cut the bark with an axe.

The woody part beneath the bark looked unchanged, just as white as the rest of the trunk.This is not a good sign, and Zhao Lei couldn't help frowning.

In order to ensure the quality of the agarwood as much as possible, Zhao Lei did not hesitate to expend his aura to plant incense for the white incense wood.I thought it would be very successful, but the current situation is not optimistic!

However, Zhao Lei is not a person who will give up easily. Although he was a little disappointed, he still didn't stop. He continued to chop off the white wood layer by layer with an ax carefully, hoping to gain something.

Zhao Lei's persistence soon paid off. When he cut off a layer of white wood with an ax again, he immediately found that the white wood had turned into a dark brown that was almost black. He couldn't help but be overjoyed!

This is exactly the color of agarwood!And according to the knowledge learned online, Zhao Lei knew that the darker the color, the higher the quality of agarwood, and it must be more valuable in the market.

But the color Zhao Lei sees now is almost as black as the bottom of the pot, so it goes without saying how precious it is.

"We... the common people, are you so happy..." Zhao Lei, who was in a good mood, couldn't help humming a song to express his joy.

Now that he had found agarwood in the tree trunk, Zhao Lei became more careful next time.He carefully chops off the white, woody parts with an axe, leaving only the black, resin-soaked parts known as agarwood.

Zhao Lei was busy for a while, and finally this piece of agarwood gradually revealed its true face.Although he had already guessed that the size of this piece of agarwood would not be small, but when he really saw its whole picture, he still couldn't help being secretly surprised.

The whole piece of agarwood is at least one meter long, most of the surface is dark brown, and many places are close to black.This shows that agarwood absorbs a lot of resin, and the more resin absorbed, the better the quality of agarwood.

Zhao Lei tried to mention the agarwood, and was surprised to find that the piece of agarwood was heavier than expected, so he couldn't help muttering to himself in surprise: "Could it be...is this really a piece of agarwood?"

Really good agarwood will sink into the water because of its high density, which is also the origin of the name "agarwood".However, with the over-exploitation of agarwood resources, the agarwood that can be completely submerged in water has almost disappeared, and even the agarwood that is partially submerged in water is very precious.

If this piece of agarwood is really sunken agarwood, it definitely meets Abdul's requirements, and Zhao Lei can make a lot of money because of it!
This made Zhao Lei full of joy, and quickly used a knife to cut off the remaining white woody part of the agarwood, then dug a hole next to it, and buried the whole piece of agarwood in the soil.

By doing this, Zhao Lei is also imitating the natural formation process of agarwood.A lot of agarwood will be bought into the soil or into the water because of the lodging of the white fragrant wood, and it will be discovered after a long period of time, so there is a difference between "sinking in the soil" and "sinking in the water".

Of course, it is impossible for Zhao Lei to bury this piece of agarwood for too long.Anyway, in the gourd space, the speed of all changes will be accelerated.He planned to bury the agarwood for only three days, and then dig out the agarwood.

After finishing all this, Zhao Lei finished his daily homework as usual, and began to practice the Sanqing method.Although Zhao Lei had entered the fifth-level "Yuanying" realm for a while, the progress was so slow that it could be ignored, which made him a little disappointed.

However, Zhao Lei also knew in his heart that there was no shortcut to practice, and it would be more difficult as he got to the end, so now he could only grit his teeth and persevere.After all, even a drop of water can wear through a stone, and only by practicing persistently can we continue to make progress.

After the training was over, Zhao Lei habitually picked up the soul-destroying nail and looked at it for a while.

After the first refining, the soul-stirring nail has been fused with a Big Dipper sword, and its appearance has changed a little.As a whole, it showed the warm and lustrous luster that only the best suet white jade has, which made Zhao Lei unable to put it down.

After playing with it for a while, Zhao Lei suddenly clenched the soul-destroying nail and let out a low cry, stabbing heavily at the jade tablet in front of him.

With a soft "嗤", the soul-destroying nail was deeply nailed into the jade tablet, which also surprised Zhao Lei.
