Chapter 37 Two habitats in one house(1/2)
Without anyone to disturb him, Jia Ren returned to his previous life.
During the day, I focus on the Turtle Breathing Technique, and only meditate in the dead of night.
The training time is shortened, and without elixirs to assist training, the progress of the training will inevitably fall to the bottom.
Jia Ren is not angry.
No matter how slow your cultivation speed is, it will still be much better than before.
With the help of spiritual rice, the practice progress can be increased a little every three days, slowly and steadily.
In the past, it would have been unimaginable for Lingmi to open its supply.
Running around for a living every day, how can you have too much time to practice?
Only when you are content can you be happy.
Three days passed quickly, and five hundred hornworm eggs entered the growth stage, growing to the size of a fingernail, and their carapace turned black.
Jia Ren did not hesitate to make six kilograms of spiritual rice into spiritual liquid to help the hornworms grow.
"Six pounds of spiritual rice a day is too much to feed!"
"You can't just eat and not work."
"It's time to go to work!"
The hornworm has entered the growth stage and has excellent digging ability.
There is no need for Jia Ren to worry about how to deal with the excavated soil. They have the ability to digest the soil themselves. Otherwise, the soil excavated every day can pile up into a small mountain.
More than 100 mature hornworms and 500 adult hornworms are digging with all their strength, and the efficiency is amazing.
Even if they are monks who specialize in earth magic, ten people working around the clock cannot compare to the efficiency of more than 600 ground hornworms.
Another advantage of ground hornworms is that they can dig at any time and anywhere without having to worry about fluctuations in spiritual power attracting the attention of the Five Elements Sect like monks.
"The tunnel plan can be launched smoothly and three escape routes are prepared."
"According to distance, it is divided into three routes: short, medium and long, which are used in different emergencies."
"Low risk, short escape route, change the stone house residence. Long-distance tunnel, the length should be wide enough to deal with the arrest of the Five Elements Sect."
"The last is an emergency escape passage leading to the outside of Dahuangfang City. I hope there will be no chance of using it."
Jia Ren acted as a hands-off manager, guiding the hornworms at regular intervals to ensure that the excavation route would not deviate from expectations.
At night, inside the abandoned stone house, mosquitoes sounded a warning.
Is the Five Elements Sect coming again?
Every once in a while, the Five Elements Sect will send people to search for monks.
At least once a day, sometimes several times a day, Jia Ren has long been used to it.
There is no trace of life in the abandoned stone house. It is in a state of inactivity, and the Five Elements Sect monks cannot find themselves.
It's been safe and sound for the past few days.
There was no movement from above, and no one entered the abandoned stone house.
Left?
I sent out the hornworms to confirm that there was no danger, and then I boldly left the tunnel.
"This is...an old stone house?"
Jia Ren looked through the cracks in the stone house and looked three feet away. What he saw made him look strange.
It turns out that he is not a monk from the Five Elements Sect.
But someone built an old stone house.
If you don’t do business, someone will naturally do it.
Fang Wu did not give up the old stone house business. After Master Jia ran away, he found a new partner to cooperate.
The first distressed stone house was located nearby.
Fang Wu was responsible for the lookout as always, and the short and fat monk surnamed Shen took over Jia Ren's work and built the old stone house.
"Young Daoist Shen is indeed a master of fraud."
"How does it compare to the last distressed master?"
Fang Wu smiled and said nothing, the answer was obvious.
"Tomorrow, I will introduce fellow Taoists to move in. Don't make any mistakes."
Fang Wu mentioned a few words, saying what Jia Ren had reminded him, pointing out mistakes and making up for the loopholes.
"The cost of building an old stone house is five spiritual stones. I will take three and you will take two. Do you have any opinions, fellow Taoist?"
"Just do it according to Fellow Daoist Fang's wishes."
Jia Ren listened to a few words and left without interest.
It’s a false alarm and continue practicing.
"Building an old stone house may affect the safety of the abandoned stone house, so be prepared in advance."
Jia Ren returned to the underground secret room and looked at the three tunnels leading in different directions.
The nearest tunnel was dug a hundred feet away, and the exit was under a collapsed stone house.
The second and third passages have not been dug yet.
Under the collapsed stone house, ground hornworms were sent to dig a new underground chamber.
Facts have proved that Jia Ren’s guess was correct.
He practiced as usual on the second night, but he was disturbed by the discussion above.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, what do you think of this place?"
"That's right, we still need to rely more on fellow Taoist Fang." A delicate female voice sounded, and the resident who chose the abandoned stone house was a female nun.
"We are all on the same page and should help each other."
The two sides talked for a while, and the voices faded away.
The abandoned stone house was spotted by someone and immediately became a residence for casual cultivators.
You cannot expose yourself, and you must block the underground secret room to prevent yourself and the tunnel from being discovered.
The soil is transported from other places in the storage bag, and the hornworm is responsible for transporting it.
The efficiency is quite fast. It takes less than an hour to fill up the secret room under the stone bed.
"I have Master Laoshen to help me."
"Fellow Taoist, please rest assured that you are safe and worry-free if you don't take the initiative to expose yourself."
"The price of making an old stone house is five spiritual stones. In special times, safety is priceless."
"Fellow Taoist is so happy that I almost forgot to remind you that Fang will organize a trade fair in a few days. Fellow Taoist, don't forget to attend."
"Is it safe?"
"Don't worry, without the secret support of the Five Elements Sect monks, Fang would not dare to hold a trade fair."
"It's absolutely safe to turn on the time."
The conversation stopped suddenly.
Jia Ren, who was about to leave, stopped and listened, focusing on the trade fair.
A trade fair among casual cultivators?
Is there support from the Five Elements Sect monks?
The Five Elements Sect is not monolithic, and everyone puts the overall situation first.
There is still value to be squeezed out of the wandering cultivators who have fled, and there will definitely be some Five Elements Sect monks who have twisted ideas.
Waichengfang City is closed, and casual cultivators want to buy spiritual resources, but have no way to do so.
Selling it to casual cultivators at this time was a huge profit, and the price was several times higher.
If the benefits are high enough, some people will naturally take risks.
Since the trade fair can guarantee safety, wouldn't it be possible to buy the monster blood and cultivation elixirs needed for the alien black mosquitoes?
Jia Ren's uncontrollable heartbeat finally left honestly.
It cannot be ruled out that it is a trap.
Or, the Five Elements Sect is used to raise fish.
The time is right, catch them all in one fell swoop.
"More information needs to be obtained."
A sound of chirping came from the stone bed, and the female cultivator began to dig. The underground secret room was a standard tool for evading capture by the Five Elements Sect.
