Chapter 108 107. Exploring the Secrets of Spiritual Energy
Luo Yihang brought Associate Professor Wei out of the village committee and comforted him, "Don't take it personally. The village head's grandmother is not a bad person. It's just that her personality is a little, um, impetuous. You know what I mean, right?"

"Besides, you look about 40? The village head's grandmother is over 60. Calling her "baby" is a way of expressing affection here."

That’s probably what it means. It’s okay as long as you understand it.

Associate Professor Wei nodded and replied, "I am fifty-two."

Why is he paying attention to this?

"Then you look young enough." Luo Yihang lied and looked at Associate Professor Wei who seemed quite satisfied.

There was no change in his facial expression, but I felt a little happy.

And then, nothing more to say.

Alas, it is really difficult to communicate with a person with a paralyzed face, especially one that doesn’t talk much.

Luo Yihang took him to where he was staying first.

There are many old houses in Ping'angou. There were more than a hundred households originally, but now there are only over thirty left. People can move away, but the houses cannot, so they are all empty.

Old Yan's family was not far from Luo Yihang's family, and his elders had fought with Luo Yihang's grandfather in the past.

Associate Professor Wei followed Luo Yihang into the house and put down their luggage at a random place without saying anything good or bad.

Just let Luo Yihang take him to the river to have a look.

"Would you like to take a rest first?"

"There's plenty of time to rest at night. Go check it out first, otherwise you'll feel uneasy."

Okay.

On the way up the mountain, Luo Yihang found out who Associate Professor Wei was and why he came.

It turns out that this person is like Liu Yang (the version who is not a bootlicker but has drunk too much and has not been with Sui Wa). He doesn't talk much at ordinary times and only has something to say when we are talking about professional matters.

He is an associate professor at Sichuan University and a special researcher at the Research Center for Ecology and Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is an expert in bird protection, behavioral ecology, and taxonomy. His main research object is the red-crowned crane.

It's written on the business card.

The purpose of coming to Ping'angou is to study the unique red-crowned crane.

Of course it wasn’t because of netizens’ ridicule, but because the red-crowned crane was really very strange.

The crested ibis is a bird that has very high requirements for its habitat, otherwise it would not be on the verge of extinction.

Even after decades of protection and artificial population expansion, the habitat of the red-crowned crane is actually only as large as the protected area.

If it were so easy for the red-crowned crane to move to other places, the conservation center wouldn't have to worry about organizing its release into the wild.

But now there happens to be a red-crowned crane that has escaped and may even build a nest outside. Why is that?

Having lived in Ping'angou for several days, Associate Professor Wei has been studying this issue.

During this period, he also saw the red-crowned crane with his own eyes twice. Once, the fisherman was the only one there, but Ding Xiaoman was not. The red-crowned crane was so beautiful, and he got to enjoy it all by himself.

Another time, there was neither Ding Xiaoman nor the fisherman.

The red-crowned crane actually mixed into the group of great egrets, catching fish with those great egrets and little night herons. There was no sign of a fight between them. It turns out that it is quite a social butterfly.

With such frequent appearances, Associate Professor Wei is 90% sure that this crested ibis has made its home nearby, but...

"That doesn't make sense."

Luo Yihang saw Associate Professor Wei from afar and was about to say hello when he heard him muttering.

Then Luo Yihang rubbed his nose and turned around decisively, pretending not to see it.

Alas, it seems like I have cheated someone.

Luo Yihang had some guesses about the red-crowned crane and the wild animals that made this place their home.

Most likely, the animals that come from far away are those that are sensitive to spiritual energy, just like the bald pine tree.

Several spirit gathering formations gathered the surrounding spiritual energy and also guided these sensitive animals to follow.

Forget it, let him study it slowly.

Luo Yihang evacuated home and still had to make candy.
-
Remember, the main purpose of malting is to test how spiritual energy affects plants.

And why the effect is so fast.

For this purpose, Luo Yihang has set up many control groups. After this period of testing.

Luo Yihang discovered.

Plants that are nourished by spiritual energy will experience a very rapid improvement and upgrade. If it were made into a graph, it would be a very steep upward curve.

This stage lasts about ten to twelve days, and then it will enter a bottleneck period. There will be improvement, but the upward curve will be close to flat.

However, it is not clear if there is any improvement or upgrade as no experiments have been conducted, but the outward manifestations are that it is stronger, tastier, etc.

There is no change in the growth rate.

I feel that aura is more like a catalyst, and its effect depends on the plant itself.

There have been no experiments on animals, but judging from Luo's father, Luo's mother and Ding Xiaoman, there is definitely an effect. However, it is definitely not as obvious as on plants. Perhaps it is more related to food.

As for the effect of only allowing spiritual energy to nourish the seeds.

I can only say that there is, but it is not obvious.

Luo Yihang judged from the motherwort scattered on the meadow that the germination rate was good, but just good. There was basically no change after it grew out.

In addition, there was the box of malt that Luo Qi took away.

After soaking in the water at home for a night, I have been nourished by the spiritual energy for more than ten hours, so I have to get some benefit from it.

As a result, with the joint efforts of Luo Qi and Lin Jia, they were all raised to death.

Uncle San's wall-breaking machine was saved...

After the experiment was completed, the test samples were no longer useful, so Luo Yihang was asked to make malt sugar.

This is the second time I make sugar.

The first time is five days after the wheat seedlings germinate.

Because the so-called maltose is actually the decomposition of starch into small molecular sugars by the amylase contained in malt.

The activity of amylase is strongest five days after wheat germinates.

At that time, in order to experiment with the effects of spiritual energy, I made a batch. I kept a bottle at home, gave one to Luo Qi, and one to Sui Wa, as his fat baby should like it. I also sent one to Ding Rui, as my girlfriend would definitely like it.

Then they were all divided.

This is the fourteenth day of wheat germination. Luo Yihang feels that the effect of spiritual energy has reached a bottleneck. Five days after wheat germination, amylase will gradually lose its activity. There should not be much left after fourteen days.

So I plan to make another batch and see what effect Reiki has in this regard.

This should be the last batch. This thing is too troublesome.

After Luo Yihang returned home, he tore off a batch of malt. This was the happiest part of the whole process. The tearing sound was very relaxing.

I didn't tear it all off, so I kept a part to continue the experiment.

Wash the torn malt, throw it into the blender and grind it into powder. The malt in the blender at Uncle San's house died and could not be used, so Luo Yihang brought it back.

This is just the first step.

You also need to steam glutinous rice and corn grits rice, mix them with crushed malt, ferment them for eight hours, filter the raw material, and then keep boiling it.

It’s such a hassle.

Wait until it comes out and see.

Why is it green?

The wheat seedlings have been growing for too long, and their color is no longer bright yellow, but green. This may be the reason.

Try it again.

yue~~
Not very sweet, full of oxalic taste.

This proves that spiritual energy also has to be explained. Once amylase loses its activity, it loses its activity and cannot be restored by spiritual energy.

So this pot of green maltose...

Let’s give it to Luo Qi.
