The Green-tailed Spirit Fish has been caught and can be raised, but Lu Xuelian's ability to tame animals is only half a bucket of water after all. Breeding it is quite troublesome. He needs to figure out how to raise it. This process takes time.
It's not bad, although the income brought in the first year is not much, only 65 spirit stones, but if you want to create a new industry like breeding spirit fish, it will be good if you don't lose money in the early stage.
One year is very short for a monk and will pass quickly.
After taking a look at the new resource of Green Tail Spirit Fish, Lu Ping stopped paying attention.
【Reputation:191】
He checked the reputation points and found that he had accumulated 191. The [Resource Optimization] item was enough to redeem.
Lu Ping plans to use this [resource optimization] first for the sect’s spiritual fields to increase the production capacity of the spiritual fields.
However, Lu Changfeng and his party have not yet returned from purchasing, and the sect's spiritual field has not yet been expanded, so there is no need to rush.
The next thing to do is to wait patiently.
Thinking of this, Lu Ping looked at another reward, the evil-dispelling divine thunder talisman.
It is worth mentioning that after checking it, Lu Ping was surprised to find that this talisman could be used with his hands.
In other words, if necessary, Lu Ping can use the Evil God Thunder Talisman to ward off enemies on his own. He does not need to pass it on to a sect member and rely on the other party to cast it.
This can be considered an unexpected surprise.
From this point of view, keeping this talisman in your own hands is the best way.
If it were to be passed down and given to a certain sect member, it would not be easy to find a suitable candidate.
After all, Lu Ping does not have the ability to predict the future, and he does not know who will need this talisman to save his life more in the future, which will play a key role.
Keep it in your hand. If you encounter a certain disciple who is in trouble or endangers his life in the future, it won't be too late to pass it on or use it directly.
Time flies, more than a month has passed.
After staying in Qinghefang City for more than a month and selling out all the spiritual rice, Lu Changfeng quickly completed the purchase of materials and left Qinghefang City with his disciples and returned to Qingshan Sect.
There was no need to transport spiritual rice anymore, the speed of the cloud-walking beast was much faster, and everyone returned to the sect quickly.
On the second day, Lu Yuanshan arranged his manpower and began to expand the spiritual field.
The Lingtian area is located up the mountainside of Qinglian Mountain. There is a vast fertile soil with abundant spiritual energy, which is very suitable for planting and practicing.
On the basis of the original ten acres of spiritual land, Lu Yuanshan chose to expand eastward, adding fifteen acres of spiritual land and increasing the scale of spiritual rice cultivation.
The type of spiritual rice grown is still corn crystal rice.
Yujing rice is a first-grade high-grade spiritual rice. Compared with the same grade spiritual rice, the output is higher and the price is considerable. It is a good choice for Qingshan Sect.
In previous years, the sect has grown jade crystal rice and has rich planting experience. It has been decided to continue planting jade crystal rice.
"It has been more than two months since the Lingmi harvest was completed. Starting today, we will expand the new Lingtian as soon as possible to expand the scale of corn crystal rice cultivation."
"Song Minghui, in the past few days, you have led ten disciples to open up spiritual fields and sorted out fifteen acres of spiritual fields."
"When the spiritual field is opened, disciples who possess the three spiritual roots of water, wood, and earth, and have practiced the Gathering of Spirits and Transforming into Rain technique, you are responsible for casting spells on the new spiritual field once every three days.
This is how to nourish the fields and warm the spiritual energy."
"Because this is the new spiritual field, the nutrients and spiritual energy of the land are not as rich as those of the old spiritual field, so you can use the Spirit Gathering and Rain Technique a few more times."
"After performing the Gathering Spirits and Transforming Rain technique five times, you can almost sow the grain seeds."
"After the grain is planted, the two disciples who guard the spiritual field will be responsible for the task of watering it using the Spirit Gathering Rain Technique."
A total of twenty-five disciples from the sect participated, and there were many disciples with spiritual roots of water, wood, and earth attributes. Such disciples were most suitable for practicing the Gathering Spirit and Transforming Rain Technique, and the results were quick.
Learning the technique of Gathering Spirits and Transforming Rain has been a compulsory course for Qingshan Sect disciples in recent years. It is also the most suitable technique for planting, watering spiritual fields and medicinal gardens.
After listening to Lu Yuanshan's arrangements, the disciples did not dare to neglect, and they all understood the importance of expanding the spiritual field to the sect.
The expansion of spiritual fields is related to everyone’s future.
As long as the spiritual fields are cultivated well, the sect will have enough food rations and a large amount of spiritual rice to sell to the outside world. In this way, the sect will gradually prosper, accumulate spiritual stones, cultivate disciples, and feed themselves back.
The sect will also give corresponding rewards to the disciples for the labor they put in, so that they will not be left to work in vain and the benefits that should be given will still be given.
So on that day, the disciples started to be busy. Each one had a clear division of labor. After planning the expansion area, they started weeding, cleaning, and turning over the soil, taking each step seriously.
This step of weeding and clearing the gravel was very simple and only took one day. On the second day, everyone started digging the soil.
Since the land containing spiritual energy is harder than ordinary fertile soil, and there are some spiritual insects living in it, everyone prepared for this step for three days.
At first, the soil plowing work progressed somewhat slowly.
"Little junior sister, the way you turn the soil is wrong."
"Look at me, you must mobilize your spiritual power when the spiritual hoe is buried in the ground to stimulate the work of the spiritual hoe. Otherwise, if you fail to grasp the timing and intensity and continue to mobilize your spiritual power, you will soon run out of spiritual power, and it will be very difficult.
It’s easy to get too much.”
"You must remember to use your strength at key points. You have never done these things before, so study hard."
"I know, I know, this is my first time too."
Among the participating disciples, there were many who had just come to the ground, and a young junior sister named Liu Shiyao was one of them.
She was wearing a big straw hat, dripping with sweat, and was waving a spiritual hoe to turn over the soil. She was working very hard, but the method was not right.
The hard soil of the Lingtian land is difficult for ordinary people to turn over. Monks need to work with spiritual hoes, which saves time and effort.
Compared to Liu Shiyao, She Qingqing's movements are much more skillful and are completely textbook level for everyone to learn from.
While plowing the soil, you also need to pay attention to whether there are any spiritual insects in the soil.
For example, the most common soul-eating insects, they feed on spiritual grass and spiritual rice, and are considered pests.
During the soil digging process, once soul-eating insects are found, they need to be cleaned up in time.
The corpses of spiritual insects after death can be left in the fields as fertilizer, nourishing the land and cultivating nutrients.
In the blink of an eye, three days later, all the spiritual fields were plowed, and the next step was to water and sow the seeds.
The planting method of spiritual fields is somewhat different from that of secular grains, and the time is also different.
Everyone worked together and in the next two days, the spiritual field was finally planted.
The expansion of Xinlingtian was successful.
The jade crystal rice seeds quickly took root in the spiritual field and grew vigorously.
At first glance, it is a green area.
"The expansion of the spiritual field has been completed. Including the previous ten acres, the total is 25 acres of spiritual field. We hope to achieve a bumper harvest of spiritual rice in the coming year."
"The main income of the sect in the next three years will depend entirely on this spiritual field."
The next month, Lu Yuanshan brought fifty yellow-striped ducks to the Lingtian area.
The yellow-striped duck is not yet a first-order spiritual beast, but it is stronger than ordinary ducks.
They are docile, have yellow patterns on their bodies, and are the same size as ducks.
Naturally, these ducks were not bought for eating.
They are good helpers for planting spiritual fields.
If you put yellow-striped ducks in the spiritual field, they will not only prey on the spiritual insects on the spiritual rice, but they will also eat the weeds.
When the yellow-striped duck swims, it creates water surface fluctuations that can well transfer nutrients in the water to the roots of the rice.
At the same time, when they move, they can make the water surface turbid, making it difficult for weeds to grow.
With their presence, it will be much easier to take care of the spiritual field.
After finishing all this, the next step is to use the Spirit Gathering and Rain Technique from time to time to water the branches and leaves of the spiritual rice and replenish the spiritual energy.
This task will be handled by the disciples who guard the spiritual field.
Lu Yuanshan could take his mind off the spiritual field and start doing other important things.
In fact, Lu Ping watched the entire spiritual field expansion process and was pleased that his disciples could work hard and cooperate with the spiritual field planting.
Now that the spiritual field has been expanded and the spiritual rice has been planted, you can use [Resource Optimization] to upgrade the spiritual field. This chapter has been completed!
