When he first came to this world, all of Meng Zhou's impressions of the spiritual world came from the memory of his former master.
At that time, Qingxuan Domain and Qingxuan Sect were just hearsay to him, legends and stories pieced together here and there, unable to even form a rough outline.
Because the former master’s activities in the spiritual world were basically in the area around Cuiyu Lake.
Meng Zhou stayed in Qinglinfang for more than half a year, and the Qingxuan Domain, which was originally just a chaotic fog, gradually became clearer in his mind.
And as visitors from outside the domain have been attending the auctions of Hexin Building in recent days, they have naturally learned more about things outside the Qingxuan Domain.
The Qingxuan Territory alone covers an area of 100,000 miles. The third level spiritual vein Qinglin Peak where the Qingxuan Sect is located is basically located in the center of the Qingxuan Territory.
Sixteen second-level spiritual veins are scattered within this vast area of 100,000 miles.
Based on its own influence, power projection efficiency, and some objective environmental factors, Qingxuan Sect divided the entire Qingxuan Domain into three layers with Qingxuan Sect as the center.
The area within 30,000 miles is considered the hinterland by default, the area between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is the middle ring, and the area outside the middle ring is the peripheral area.
The cultivators of Qinglinfang live under the feet of Qingxuan Sect, and they are influenced by this. When considering the spiritual veins in Qingxuan Domain, they will naturally have such a level of consciousness in their thinking.
Meng Zhou is no exception.
The map of Qingxuan Territory in his mind was divided into three layers in this way.
Within the hinterland, there are four second-order spiritual veins, basically evenly distributed in all directions of Qinglin Peak.
Of course, it can also be said that there are three, because one of them is called Jade Lake, and it has now been upgraded to a third-level spiritual land.
But in the area between 30,000 miles and 60,000 miles, there are as many as nine second-order spiritual veins.
On the contrary, in the peripheral area that seems to be larger, there are only three second-order spiritual veins scattered here and there.
This is because there are three huge third-order evil veins within the Qingxuan Domain, all of which are in the outer area. And around the third-order evil veins, there are more second-order and first-order evil veins distributed, and a large number of powerful monsters live in them.
If we say that the first and second level evil veins in the hinterland have basically been regarded as breeding farms and cash machines.
Its biggest function is to produce a steady stream of monster meat, as well as raw materials such as animal skins, animal bones, and animal blood, as well as some spiritual plants and spiritual minerals that can only be produced in evil veins. They have basically been used as
The practitioners led by Qingxuanzong developed each mature resource producing area.
The power of the practitioners in the middle area can still gain an absolute power advantage over the demonic beasts within the range.
Then the situation in the outer area is just the opposite. The only three second-level spiritual veins are often invaded and attacked by monsters.
There are sporadic normal harassments, some out-of-group monsters or flying monsters entering the range of the spiritual veins, and occasionally there are large-scale waves of monsters.
However, because the participating monsters are all first- and second-level monsters, and this wave of monsters is the result of many evil-veined monsters multiplying and spreading outward spontaneously.
The second-order spiritual veins were unfortunately affected, rather than the monster group's deliberate targeting of the monk group. Therefore, although the situation of these three second-order spiritual veins is worse than that of other second-order spiritual veins, they can still be stable.
maintain.
However, this is also the limit.
Meng Zhou had heard such a rumor in Qinglinfang, saying that more than forty years ago, Qingxuan Sect had basically completed the large-scale land reclamation of Qinglin Peak, and the internal situation had been sorted out, and the rest would only take time to continue.
reward.
At that time, Qingxuanzong had already planned to project part of his power beyond Qinglin Peak.
From the very beginning, Qingxuanzong focused on the outer areas.
In the wider peripheral area, there are more second-order spiritual veins and first-order spiritual veins than in the central area.
It's just that these spiritual veins are basically intertwined with evil veins, and they are all managed into the lairs of monsters.
The other forces are not strong enough and naturally have nothing to do about the situation.
But Qingxuanzong is different. The high-end combat power includes the core-forming realm experts. The various resources that can be mobilized together with the foundation-building experts and other forces are not of the same order of magnitude. It can directly form a pioneering army composed of core-forming and foundation-building realms.
The team quickly cleared out a second-level spiritual vessel without much difficulty.
But this plan suffered a setback the first time it was tried.
A large number of first- and second-order monsters were quickly exterminated, and the despair and panic caused by the mass extinction was directly transmitted to the third-order monsters sleeping in the third-order evil veins.
This sense of panic directly caused the third-order great demon to react in a stressful manner, setting off a joint wave of beasts across evil veins. Moreover, the third-level great demon took the initiative to rush to the front line.
Because Qingxuanzong saw the opportunity quickly, he did not suffer much loss, but the ending was undoubtedly quite embarrassing and hasty.
From then on, there seemed to be a tacit understanding between the powerful pill-forming man and the third-level demon.
The strong ones who formed the core would not go out to harvest a large number of first- and second-level monsters, and the third-level monsters would not target low-level monks. The kind of unified monster tide that crosses evil veins and has a clear purpose has never appeared again.
It was also after this incident that Qingxuan Sect became more stable.
It took forty years to concentrate on running Qinglinfang and build it into a well-known and most trustworthy second-level spiritual place in Qingxuan Domain.
…
Meng Zhou immediately excluded the three second-order spiritual veins in the outer area from his selection.
He just wanted to develop his potential cultivation in peace and quiet, but he didn't want to be knocked on the door by monsters every now and then.
You can't go to Cuiyu Lake, which is now the most complicated and chaotic place in Qingxuan Territory.
Late-stage foundation-building monks, fake elixir masters, and even elixir-forming masters cannot afford to interfere.
In addition to Jade Lake, the other three second-level spiritual veins in the hinterland were also excluded by Meng Zhou. The reason is also very simple: they are too close to Qingxuan Sect.
Since we have decided to grow steadily for a period of time and spend the most vulnerable period of infancy after foundation building, we naturally want to stay as far away from the great god Qingxuanzong as possible.
As far away as possible.
He has already acquired the identity of "Mengzhuang" and mastered all the methods of cultivating essence, qi, and spirit. He also has no shortage of spiritual stones. All he needs now is a second-level spiritual land of sufficient quality.
This is completely different from the hard work of other monks who not only have to practice, but also think about earning spiritual stones, and also constantly explore and explore the next step of practice direction and practice methods.
Therefore, the only options available to Meng Zhou were the nine second-order spiritual veins in the central area.
Meng Zhou made his choice without going through a difficult and tortuous mental journey.
"Mikawa Plateau."
If we were to rank the second-order spiritual veins within the Qingxuan Domain, even if Mikawahara could not be ranked first from the bottom, it would at least have a solid place among the top three.
Even if they are of the same level of spiritual veins, their quality may be high or low.
Although spiritual veins are naturally created, the influence of geography and topography on the quality of spiritual veins is well known.
Either there are mountains and water, or there are valleys and swamps. Only such an environment can store more spiritual energy.
On the contrary, the spiritual energy will be very shallow and floating.
The Sanchuan Plateau is such a place with no mountains, no water, no valleys, no swamps, just a flat piece of yellow land like a chessboard.
However, it is precisely for this reason that among all the second-level spiritual veins in the Qingxuan Domain, the situation here is the one that makes Meng Zhou feel most at ease.
Unlike the Jade Lake when the Mo family was still there, it was calm on the surface, but there was an undercurrent surging beneath the surface. A small second-level spiritual vein, there is no telling how many scheming plans are hidden.
Not only are there fake elixir masters, but there may also be alchemy masters lurking.
This is not the case in Sanchuan Plain. Not to mention that the masters of alchemy will not settle here, even the masters of false elixirs will not settle here, because this place cannot support their ambitions.
Even the monks in the late stage of foundation building are very few, because those who still have hope for forming pills will not spend their time here. There is no future path they want here.
However, in contrast, the number of monks in the early and middle stages of foundation establishment is no less than that of other second-level spiritual veins, and is even more.
This is related to the characteristics of Sanchuan Yuan - as a second-level spiritual vein, Sanchuan Yuan certainly has its own unique features, and it cannot be truly useless.
Xu is a kind of balanced compensation from heaven. If you lose something, you will gain something.
The unique mountains and landforms create the unique Sanchuan Plateau.
As a second-level spiritual vein, there are almost no unique spiritual materials or mines that can be used here, whether they are first-level or second-level.
But on the other hand, the Sanchuan Plateau, which covers an area of more than 600 miles, has the most fertile soil and the most powerful soil, which is very suitable for opening up a large area of spiritual medicinal gardens.
But there is a premise, that is, the water problem must be solved - not ordinary irrigation water, but spiritual spring water containing corresponding spiritual quality.
In the waterless Sanchuan Plateau, the only solution is to use magic.
The first-level Xiaoyunyu Technique and the second-level Cloudy Rain Technique summon the sweet rain containing spiritual energy.
Many monks who are not good at fighting will choose to come to Sanchuan Plain to become cultivating farmers.
Those with low cultivation level can join a force, use their meager mana to provide a few drops of rain and dew every day, and earn some pitiful spiritual stones and rice;
Those with higher cultivation levels have more choices.
According to Meng Zhou's understanding, many foundation-building casual cultivators in the Qingxuan Territory have the experience of coming to the Sanchuan Plain to farm. Although it is inefficient, it is the safest and most secure way for foundation-building casual cultivators without a foundation background to accumulate spiritual stones.
.
Of course, it is precisely because the income from this method is too inefficient that most foundation-building casual cultivators will leave Sanchuan Plateau to seek better development after making their first pot of gold.
Because of this frequent coming and going, Sanchuanyuan has formed a special atmosphere when it comes to foreign foundation-building monks.
As long as they do not take the initiative to participate in the deeper game of interests and power, and manage their own one-third of an acre of land peacefully, no one or force will take the initiative to embarrass a foundation farmer.
He doesn't really care about who he is, where he comes from, or where he goes.
These factors are what attracted Meng Zhou to the Sanchuan Plain.
…
Sanchuan Plateau is located northwest of Qinglinfang, about 50,000 miles away.
Fortunately, except for a second-level evil vessel that covers an area of nearly a thousand miles and needs attention, other areas along the way are smooth for him.
In order to reach Sanchuan Plain before the next training session, Meng Zhou made a thorough plan for his trip.
Every day, he would consume two medium-grade spiritual stones and use the master-level flying escape technique to travel five thousand miles.
And the time he spent doing this every day was less than an hour.
"Such a top speed has surpassed the speed of most fighter jets in previous lives. The only problem is that my current mana cannot support me using it for a long time, so I can only burn spiritual stones to exchange mileage."
At other times, Meng Zhou used his tyrannical second-level body training to perform some martial arts and light kung fu techniques, reaching a speed of nearly three hundred miles per hour.
This speed is not too slow.
In his previous life, even on the highest-standard and safest road sections, Meng Zhou had no record of reaching a speed of more than 150 kilometers per hour.
That would make him feel completely out of control.
But now, he has achieved such a feeling similar to flying just by relying on his physical body.
Moreover, its duration is very long.
Except for necessary rest and relaxation, I keep running at this speed most of the time.
It can fly five thousand miles, run five thousand miles, and travel ten thousand miles in a day.
For this reason, he also specially spent half a day to squat in the second-level evil veins and kill a second-level low-level wild boar monster to replenish the excessive consumption.
He traveled thousands of miles in one day and twenty thousand miles in two days.
On the third day, Meng Zhou was like a fish swimming in the water or a bird of prey in the air. He flew close to the ground in the air with extremely fast speed and extremely flexible and light body skills.
Suddenly, Meng Zhoufu's mind flashed, and the next moment, he appeared a hundred meters away.
The next moment, it appeared again a hundred meters away.
This was completely different from the tyrannical physique he had seen in the second level of physical training and the martial arts light body technique he had achieved before, a hundred meters in one step.
In the latter, every trace of his passing through the space is clearly visible. The time it takes for each step he takes to fly, from the time his feet leave the ground to the time he lands again to use force, is far longer than the time it takes for his feet to touch the ground.
It takes longer.
But now, the part of the process where he is in the air seems to have been omitted.
In the eyes of others, he seemed to be here one moment, and his feet were already there the next moment.
Although this is not a flash teleport, the effect achieved is almost the same.
"Extreme speed is not exclusive to Qi refining magic. Body Qi and blood refining can also pursue the ultimate speed."
Meng Zhou realized something in his heart. This was a second-level body technique that he had realized based on his powerful second-level physique and the martial arts and body skills that he had already understood at the perfect level.
Meng Zhou was very happy in his heart. This was the first time he had learned to create a technique of his own.
However, when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was not really a rare thing for him.
According to normal practice, the difficulty of creating a technique is obviously much lower than the difficulty of creating a fundamental practice method.
As for the latter, this was not the first time Meng Zhou had done it.
As for the former, it is naturally nothing new for him to do it.
"Cunbu, let's call it Cunbu."
As Meng Zhou's thoughts were confirmed, a newly added piece of information with a question mark in his personal information became more accurate.
“Step into the door 20/250”
From the third day onwards, Meng Zhou stopped using the Flying Escape Technique, and the consumption of spiritual stones was also saved. He could measure tens of thousands of miles of land entirely with a pair of fleshy feet.
And at the end of the day, Meng Zhou was munching on wild boar monster meat to replenish his body's energy while planning today's itinerary.
"It's more than seven thousand miles, but less than eight thousand miles."
Meng Zhou was not frustrated by this, but judging from the changes in numbers, it didn't seem to be much faster than the previous lightening technique.
actually not.
The main reason for the delay was that using the Cunbu technique was far more draining on the body than using the light body technique. During this day, he spent most of his time resting, eating, replenishing his body's energy, and recovering his physical fitness.
The time he actually spent traveling was only about a quarter.
And after nearly eight thousand miles of hard work, what was originally just an introductory step has now reached a small level.
On the fourth day, Meng Zhou's journey once again reached about ten thousand miles.
On the fifth day, around noon, Meng Zhou mastered every step and completed the accumulation of small achievements to great achievements.
Every step you take is two to three hundred meters away.
Finally, just when the night was about to completely cover the sky and the earth, he saw a land full of vitality and greenery from a distance in a vast and desolate land.
From today on, the closer he gets to this place, the more desolate and barren Meng Zhou feels. Not only is there no place for mortals to live, but there are not many creatures or insects known for their tenacious vitality.
If he hadn't firmly believed in all the information in his mind, Meng Zhou would have suspected that he was going in the wrong direction.
The abundant mana in the Dantian flows around the body and swells in the meridians.
With the destination in sight, Meng Zhou naturally no longer needs to worry about his magic power. At this moment, he has already taken off into the sky and is flying towards the oasis of life in the distance.
It didn't take long for Meng Zhou to enter the "oasis" without any formation or personnel blocking him.
On the other hand, some Qi Practitioners who were practicing the Little Cloud and Rain Technique in the fields stopped to look up, with respectful and envious expressions.
When we first entered this area, the spiritual energy was still very thin, which was enough for monks to practice in the early and middle stages of Qi training. It was not until they continued to fly for more than a hundred miles to the central area that the quality of the spiritual energy could reach the second-level quality.
And at this moment, a middle-aged monk who looked to be in his forties or fifties flew out of the sky from the diagonal thorn, cupped his hands to Meng Zhou and said: "Fellow Taoist, please invite me. I am the governor of Sanchuan Council. His surname is Li. I don't know." How do you call your friend?”
Meng Zhou stopped and returned the greeting with his hands raised: "Fellow Daoist Li, please come. My surname is Zhuang."
Governor Li never stopped sizing up Meng Zhou from the moment he showed up.
Because Meng Zhou deliberately restrained his aura, all he showed was his later cultivation of Qi.
But he was so blatantly flying in the air using the flying escape technique that could only be used by Foundation Establishment monks, and he obviously had no intention of hiding his Foundation Establishment identity.
Governor Li judged in his mind that this should be a habit, and many casual cultivators have similar habits.
This is no longer a matter of being clumsy, it is purely a style of conduct.
In fact, this is also Meng Zhou's deliberate design, and there is a careful conspiracy hidden in it.
Now is the time for his cultivation to improve by leaps and bounds.
In his plan, he will live in seclusion in the Sanchuan Plain for a long time, and his strength will inevitably be greatly improved many times compared to now.
In this case, he has deliberately obscured his strength since he came here, so that people don't know what his true strength is now.
In this way, if you have to show some strength in the future, it won't feel abrupt.
Governor Li had some superficial impressions of Meng Zhou, so he asked directly: "Friend Zhuang came to our Sanchuan Plain, are you passing by and staying temporarily, or do you want to live here permanently?"
Meng Zhou understood the other party's intention, and instead of following him step by step, he directly stated his intention:
"I heard that Sanchuan Plateau is suitable for living in seclusion and meditation. I want to find a second-level spiritual land to cultivate and practice peace of mind."
Upon hearing this, Governor Li had a look of surprise on his face, "Fellow Daoist Zhuang, do you really want to find a second-level spiritual land?"
Meng Zhou knew where the other party's happiness came from. When farming in the Sanchuan Plain, the most important issue was water.
The most important methods are the first-level cloud and rain technique and the second-level cloud and rain technique.
But the Cloud and Rain Technique is a second-level mid-level spell. Under normal circumstances, only monks in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment can practice it.
Therefore, ordinary monks in the early stage of foundation building can still only use the Xiaoyunyu technique.
However, with the foundation-building level of mana, a vision beyond that of a Qi-training monk, and an understanding and application of spells, the scale of the Xiaoyunyu technique performed far exceeds that of a Qi-training monk.
However, this also determines that the most they can do is plant a first-class high-quality spiritual rice tea or a first-class spiritual medicine garden in a large area to win by quantity.
Only monks who can perform the second-level cloud and rain technique can manage the second-level spiritual fields and plant second-level spiritual objects with more economic value.
There is no shortage of second-level spiritual fields in the Sanchuan Plain, and there are even more undeveloped quasi-second-level spiritual fields. What is lacking are monks who have mid-stage foundation-building cultivation and are willing to come here to farm for a living.
Therefore, after hearing Meng Zhou's needs, Governor Li did not ask any more questions. He seemed to be afraid that Meng Zhou would run away, so he directly hugged Meng Zhou and flew away for nearly two hundred miles, arriving at a small town.
middle.
Meng Zhou looked at it from the air, and found that the markets in Nuanyun Valley and Hongsong Ridge were naturally more organized and much larger, but they were far from comparable to Qinglinfang, which was also on the second level.
The entire town is smaller than the area in the central area of Qinglinfang.
There are not many pedestrians coming and going, and most of them are Qi practicing monks.
Under the leadership of Governor Li, the two flew directly past the symbolic city wall and arrived at the central area of the town.
This small detail made Meng Zhou fully understand that the foundation-building monks, the top beings of the Sanchuan Pyramid, had many privileges.
In Qinglinfang, foundation-building monks must also behave accordingly.
But here, foundation building itself is the rule.
With these things in mind, Meng Zhou followed Governor Li to the square in the center of the town, climbed a flight of steps, and entered a spacious hall.
At the entrance, there is a huge stone monument.
Sanchuan Society.
Meng Zhou already knew about the Sanchuan Meeting beforehand, and Governor Li introduced him to more along the way.
As a second-order spiritual vein, Sanchuanyuan's internal relationships are far more complicated than Nuanyun Valley.
Naturally, there are many big forces like Nuanyun Valley True Talisman Hall and Baiyi Hall.
But no matter how fierce the internal competition between these forces is, monks who are willing to come to Sanchuan Plain to farm are all warmly welcomed.
In particular, foundation-building monks who are able to manage second-level spiritual fields and are willing to come to Sanchuan Plain to manage second-level spiritual fields are the guests of all local forces in Sanchuan Plain.
This is something that goes beyond one family, one surname, or a certain power, and can benefit the entire Sanchuan Plain collective.
Because they know best the embarrassing position of Sanchuan Yuan, a second-order spiritual vein, among all the second-order spiritual veins in Qingxuan Territory. This is the only pillar industry that can be achieved. Naturally, it must be managed well, and it must provide good services.
It was based on this consideration that the "Sanchuan Society" was born, which was formed by all the forces in the Sanchuan Plain who were qualified to participate in the table, and everyone worked together to contribute.
Its core purpose is to accept, absorb, place and serve monks like Meng Zhou.
Governor Li, who was stationed at Mengzhou, took him directly to the Sanchuanhui headquarters.
While inviting people to prepare tea and snacks, Governor Li introduced Meng Zhou into a room more suitable for conversation and directly asked about more specific needs.
"Fellow Daoist Zhuang, have you ever had any experience in planting spiritual plants before?"
Meng Zhou opened his eyes to tell lies, nodded and said: "Of course, otherwise why would I come all the way here, am I joking?"
Governor Li nodded. The reason was simple and impeccable.
He asked again: "Are you a spiritual planter?"
Having said this, he couldn't help but lean forward a little, with more expectation on his face.
Meng Zhou shook his head and said, "No."
After a pause, he felt that this was too harsh to say, "Not yet."
A spiritual planter must not only master spells such as Xiaoyunyu and Yunyu, which can make spiritual plants grow, but more importantly, they must be able to treat spiritual plant diseases and insect pests. A skilled spiritual planter can also design the best spiritual plant for a specific spiritual field.
Crops suitable for planting, and a complete plan to prevent diseases and insect pests.
Those who can only use the cloud and rain technique to irrigate crops are not spiritual planters, but farmers. Of course, many monks are more accustomed to calling them spiritual planters. However, the difference between one word and another is huge.
Li Zhi was a little disappointed beforehand, and after hearing Meng Zhou's last addition, he was a little confused, "What do you think, fellow Taoist Zhuang, what do you mean?"
Fellow Daoist Meng smiled and said: "After I settle down, I also want to try to think about it in my spare time. It is better to know some of the methods of a spiritual planter myself than to hire someone... Oh, I want to hire a serious second-level spiritual planter here.
Teachers shouldn’t be cheap, right?”
Governor Li nodded:
"Yeah, it's not cheap, very not cheap.
It is true that the number of second-level spiritual planters we can provide is limited, and there are too many fellow Taoists in need. Spiritual planters themselves also need to practice. If we don’t raise the threshold, will we have to break our legs?
There’s nothing we can do about it!”
Having said this, Governor Li shook his head.
The reality is this. Even if the Sanchuan Society actively coordinates, it can only be like this. We can't stop the spiritual planters from making progress in practice, right?
That way there is no need to wait until the next day, as all the spiritual planters in Sanchuan Plain will have to run away.
“Many fellow Taoists feel that the cost of hiring a spiritual plant master is too high, so they simply destroy the entire spiritual plant that is infected with diseases or insect pests.
Therefore, if fellow Daoist Zhuang is willing to study and explore this path and achieve success, that would be a good thing.
It is a good thing not only for you, but also for the entire Sanchuan Plain."
Then, Governor Li asked Meng Zhou in detail about his more specific needs.
Meng Zhou came up with the rhetoric he had prepared long ago.
“I just came here and I don’t know much about the local culture here.
Therefore, in the first year, it is still mainly about experimenting. First, understand the temperament of Lingtian here, and only then can you make a decision.
You also know that many second-level spiritual plants take three to five years to see a harvest from the time they are planted.
It’s inappropriate to make such a rash decision now!”
Governor Li nodded, this is normal.
He thought for a while and said: "Friend Zhuang, you think this is good, there is a second-level farmland fifty miles away from the town.
Among them, there are 200 acres of second-grade lower-grade spiritual fields, and another 20 acres of second-grade middle-grade spiritual fields.
It was a mature farmland that had been managed by a Taoist friend for more than 20 years. After he left three years ago, no one took over, and it became deserted.
However, in the past two years, we have also arranged for people to do some basic maintenance every year, which is not much different from mature fields. Reclamation is very easy.
I will arrange that farmland for you now. I don’t care how far you can reclaim it this year. I only need you to reclaim half of the low-grade spiritual land before the end of next year.
Three years later, a total of 220 acres of spiritual land must be completely reclaimed."
Meng Zhou thought for a while and asked, "If I go there now, will there be a place to stay?"
When Governor Li heard this, his face lit up with joy, he nodded hurriedly and said:
"Yes, yes, of course there is. Not only is there, it is also very big.
The training quiet room also has second-level mid-level quality, so you don’t need to worry about insufficient spiritual energy supply until you break through to the late stage of foundation building!”
At this point, Governor Li had already stood up and said to Meng Zhou: "How about I take you to see it on the spot now?"
Meng Zhou nodded and stood up.
Soon, the two of them flew away in tandem again, and not long after, they arrived at their destination more than fifty miles away.
At this moment, it was already night, and under the silvery moonlight, a quiet courtyard covering an area of several acres was located on the ground below.
However, the first impression that the courtyard gave people was that it was dilapidated.
The biggest source of this impression is one of the huge, dry artificial ponds.
Seeing that Meng Zhou seemed to be staring at the dry pond in a daze, Governor Li explained helplessly:
"The environment of Sanchuan Plateau is like this. To maintain such a pond, you must often use cloud and rain techniques to add living water to it.
But unless someone comes to live here for a long time, who has the energy to fill it with water every day?
There are still many areas of farmland that are semi-idle and require constant maintenance. We have the will but not the strength.
We have worked very hard to maintain the original appearance of this place and try our best to ensure that new Taoist friends can move in at any time, but at this point, there is really nothing we can do.”
Meng Zhou nodded to express his understanding and landed directly in the courtyard.
The practice quiet room is in the courtyard next to the dry pond. The area of a quiet room alone is larger than the entire Zhang family courtyard.
Meng Zhou couldn't help but sigh in his heart, not to mention other things, this point completely shocked the entire Qinglinfang.
Even the second-level caves in the Qinglinfang residential area cannot be as luxurious as this one.
Meng Zhou walked into the quiet room, felt it for a while, and nodded with satisfaction.
The quality of the spiritual energy is exactly what Governor Li said. If it is a proper second-level mid-grade, there is no need to worry about not having enough spiritual energy until the later stage of foundation building.
Even though he consumes far more spiritual energy during cultivation than other monks, he only needs to arrange a few talisman formations with the effects of gathering spirits, shielding, and confining spirits in the quiet room to fully meet his needs.
And, cover up all movement in the quiet room.
After walking out of the quiet room, Meng Zhou nodded to Governor Li and said, "That's right, let's do it here."
Governor Li was overjoyed. He felt that Fellow Daoist Zhuang was quick and straightforward in his work, unlike other fellow Daoist Zhuang who he had received. Just to determine the location of a Zhuang field, he had to take him around the entire Sanchuan Plateau for ten days and a half.
What's even more exaggerated is that some people become more and more disappointed with the environment of Mikawa Plain as they move around.
Then, without looking back, he turned around and flew away.
If it weren't for Sanchuan's strict regulations, no matter what the situation, he could only greet such fellow Taoists with a smile and treat them kindly. He really couldn't help but have the urge to fight with them.
It’s not that entertaining!
This is the first time that Brother Zhuang has been so forthright.
What does this mean?
This is the trust in Mr. Li!
Thinking of this, Governor Li felt that he should be more concerned about Brother Zhuang's affairs and hurriedly said:
"Fellow Taoist Zhuang is here for the first time. The situation in this village is like this, and there is such a large courtyard that needs to be taken care of. How many Qi training servants do you need to recruit, Taoist Zhuang?"
I know a lot about both female and male practitioners, but do you need me to recommend some?"
Meng Zhou waved his hand and said:
"Thank you, Taoist friend, for your kindness. Zhuang has just arrived here and has traveled tens of thousands of miles. The most important thing now is to adjust and get familiar with the situation here. I don't have the energy to think about anything else at the moment. Let's talk about these things later."
Governor Li nodded, "Okay, fellow Taoist, if you have any other needs for Li, please contact me at any time."
Finally, he was ready to leave, but something seemed to occur to him. He looked a little more solemn and asked, "Do you, fellow Taoist Zhuang, understand the rules of Sanchuan Yuan?"
Meng Zhou's expression also became serious and he said:
"I know some general information, but Fellow Daoist Li might as well pick up some important points and talk to me about it. I'm also afraid that some hearsay information is unreliable."
Governor Li said:
"This quiet room, this courtyard, and this farmland can be controlled by fellow Taoists from now on, but the time limit for re-cultivation cannot be later than the time I told you before.
However, fellow Taoists can decide what to plant based on their own strengths and plans, and we will not impose any mandatory requirements on this.
Moreover, once you make a decision, you can tell me directly or go to Sanchuan Meeting to inform me.
At that time, we will try our best to coordinate with a second-level spiritual planter to come and have a look at the site and give you some practical guidance and suggestions.
In addition, we will also provide spiritual seeds and seedlings, and try our best to coordinate some spiritual planter assistants with Qi training skills to plant these spiritual seeds or seedlings."
Meng Zhou knew that this was not only help provided by the Sanchuan Association, but also to prevent someone from taking a fancy to the resources provided by Sanchuan Plain for free, but actually occupying the manhole and not giving up.
Even the temporary owners who are supervising Zhuangtian must move forward step by step under their watchful eyes.
This is the prerequisite and basis for long-term friendly cooperation between the two parties.
Meng Zhou, who had not mastered the cloud and rain technique at all, was listening to what Governor Li said without any psychological burden at this moment, and even nodded in agreement from time to time.
Governor Li paused and then said:
"Since the spiritual plants are planted, you will basically be responsible for the management of the spiritual fields.
However, there are regulations in our association that if there is no rainfall record within a certain period of time, a reminder will be issued once, a warning will be sent to the door twice, and the land will be evicted and the spiritual field will be taken back three times.
Well, different spiritual plants have different needs for rainfall, so the specific standards can only be known after Taoist Zhuang decides what to plant and has it confirmed by a spiritual planter on site."
Meng Zhou nodded, "That's very reasonable."
Governor Li smiled and nodded, "Sanchuan will provide free venues and other appropriate services from beginning to end, as well as technical support from spiritual planters. We do not charge any spiritual stones.
But when the output starts to be harvested, we need to extract 40% of it as a reward for all this."
The share ratio has been modified from 50 to 50 to 40 to 60. Sanchuan will get 40% and the growers will get 60%.
