Zhang Zhixuan came for three or four days and became a little familiar with the environment. His seventh uncle Zhang Mengyuan began to teach him how to plant spiritual fields.
"Zhixuan, you have learned the golden needle technique. Using this technique, you can kill most pests.
If you encounter a troublesome pest infestation, don’t take action hastily, but inform your family as soon as possible and let our experienced elders solve it.”
"The chalcedony rice has been harvested for a month, and starting from today, I will use the Soul Gathering Rain Technique.
From then on, the Spirit Gathering Rain Jue must be performed every half month to nourish the spiritual soil and maintain the spiritual energy in the spiritual soil.
After four spells, the seeds must be sown. On the second, twelfth, and twenty-second of every lunar month, the weeds are weeded in the morning, and the spirit gathering rain is cast once in the evening to irrigate the spiritual field.
On the fifth, fifteenth, and twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, you will take care of yellow bud grass.
On the eighth, eighteenth and twenty-eighth days of the lunar month, the most precious dozens of bead elixirs were taken care of.
These dozens of beads of elixir are very precious. Every time you cast a spell, three low-grade spiritual stones must be dissolved to replenish their spiritual energy.
After all, our best spiritual field is only a second-level high-grade one, and the dozens of beaded spiritual grasses we planted are all third-level elixirs, and the most important one, the Bu Yuan Ginseng, is a fourth-level elixir.
Without additional spiritual energy replenishment, it is impossible to survive for a long time. It will slowly wither and lose its medicinal value in a few years at most."
Although there are more than a hundred monks in the Zhang family, there are only three monks who are truly proficient in planting.
The second uncle Zhang Mengqun is already over a hundred years old, the seventh uncle is nearly seventy years old, and even the youngest thirteenth uncle Zhang Menghan has passed the age of knowing his destiny.
In recent years, the family has been interested in cultivating young plantation monks, hoping to replace the second uncle so that he can spend his later years in Shanmen.
After all, the lifespan of a monk during the Qi training period can only be extended by half a decade.
In his early years, the second uncle had many fights with others, and was seriously injured several times. Some of his vitality was damaged. Naturally, his lifespan was a little shorter, and he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for a few more years.
Once the second uncle passes away, there will only be two planting monks in the family, and it will be difficult to replace them.
Zhang Zhixuan doesn't have much objection to becoming a cultivator.
Although the cultivating monks have a longer mission, they also have a stable training time and are safer than other missions outside.
Zhang Zhixuan did not neglect the teachings of his seventh uncle Zhang Mengyuan. He nodded solemnly and said: "In the past few days after coming down from the mountain, my nephew has carefully studied the Spirit Gathering and Rain Technique. This spell is easiest to practice if you have water-attribute spiritual roots.
, followed by wood spiritual roots, earth spiritual roots can also be cultivated, but fire and metal spiritual roots cannot be cultivated.
According to my nephew’s exploration over the past ten years, he should have three spiritual roots: fire, metal, and wood. Although it is a bit difficult to learn the spirit-gathering and rain-making technique, my nephew’s understanding is pretty good and he can learn relatively quickly.
After a month, I should be able to barely cast this spell."
Zhang Mengyuan nodded happily and said: "It seems that my nephew has a good understanding. I am a monk with four spiritual roots and possesses water spiritual roots. Even with this advantage, it took more than three months to learn this spell.
My nephew is sure to learn this spell in a month, so it seems that I don’t need to spend extra time teaching him."
Zhang Mengyuan's cultivation level has reached the eighth level of Qi training. Every time he casts a spirit gathering and rain spell, he can water twelve or thirteen acres of spiritual fields. The old man only cast the spell twice and watered twenty-five acres of first-level spiritual fields.
As for the most important five acres of spiritual land, Zhang Mengyuan took out two wooden barrels from the house without haste, then carried more than thirty barrels of spiritual water from the spiritual well, and then carefully poured it into the spiritual well one by one.
On top of the spiritual grass.
Zhang Zhixuan pointed to the spiritual well and said: "This spiritual well is the foundation of the thirty acres of spiritual fields. Using the spiritual water in the spiritual wells to irrigate the spiritual fields can cultivate the spiritual fields.
Every ten days, you need to take thirty barrels of spiritual water from the well, and then pour it on the five acres of second-grade spiritual field. You can't be lazy even once.
As long as we continue to use spiritual water to cultivate the soil, the family's spiritual field will become bigger and better.
If the spiritual fields are cultivated well, more and more monks can be cultivated, and the family will be more prosperous. If the family strength can be strengthened, the family will be more prosperous.
A stronger family is also good for monks like you with good spiritual roots. With the support of many people, your future will be even brighter."
Zhang Zhixuan stretched out his left hand and dipped it in the bucket. He suddenly felt a chill to the bone. His fingertips hurt, and he suddenly felt a numb and numb feeling.
"The spiritual water and spiritual energy in this spiritual well are so full!" Zhang Zhixuan couldn't help but say.
"Yes! The spiritual water in the spiritual well is becoming more and more spiritual.
When this well was first built, it was very ordinary. Three hundred years ago, it gradually gained a trace of aura, but it was only a little mysterious and considered a relatively common spiritual object.
Although our family was stronger and had more monks back then, our main reliance was still on the care of Patriarch Chu Yun.
At that time, Patriarch Chu Yun was already a fourth-level monk in the Zifu period, and he was considered one of the few masters in Qingxuan Mountain.
The spiritual rice that the family monks need daily is also purchased from Qingxuan Sect.
After the death of Patriarch Chu Yun, although the family was not as good as it was day by day, the spiritual energy of this spiritual well became more and more abundant. Most of these thirty acres of spiritual fields were only opened up in the past hundred years.
If the aura of the spiritual well continues to grow, it may attract prying eyes from outsiders.
Based on the family's current strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to save this spiritual well in the end.
Therefore, in the past thirty years, the family has stopped opening new spiritual fields, hoping to avoid others being greedy." Zhang Mengyuan said with a long sigh.
"Don't worry, Uncle Qi, this spiritual well is the foundation of the family, I will guard it carefully." Zhang Zhixuan said cautiously.
"In the five years you have spent down the mountain cultivating the spiritual fields, I hope you will concentrate on cultivating and cultivating, and not make any friends who are casual cultivators, let alone bring them here.
Although these dozens of acres of spiritual fields are very close to Lushan County, ordinary people in the city will not come here to disturb you.
If you have difficulties in practicing and want to go to Xihefang to exchange things, you must also inform the monks in Lushan County in advance so that they can be prepared to come and guard the spiritual well for you.
In addition to you near Lushan County, there are also the Lushan County Magistrate, the County Lieutenant, the bandit catcher, the city patroller, and the five monks from the caravan guild.
Their cultivation levels are not high, and some have not yet broken through the innate stage. These five people are all led by monks cultivating spiritual fields.
You are not only responsible for cultivating spiritual fields, but also responsible for protecting the safety of mortals in the county and township.
Although the vast sea is a land of extraordinary spirits and there are no monsters in the sea, deep in Lushan, there are occasionally some unnatural monsters descending from the mountain.
Even the lowest level of first-level monsters are difficult for innate-stage monks to deal with.
This requires you to eliminate these low-level monsters running around and protect the safety of the people in the county while preserving yourself.
Although the mortals in Lushan County do not have any magic power, most of them are the descendants of our ancestors.
Most of the next generation of monks will come from them. They are the foundation of our Zhang family monks. As long as we are still capable, we should take good care of them."
