"Chen'er, you don't have to worry about spiritual stones at your age. You can just go out and play with your friends in the clan or practice the basic Five Elements spells."
Bai Jiu'an found that his nephew was really a little too precocious. At this age, he was still playing in the mud and grabbing the dog egg toys next door. Even after his spiritual root was detected, how could he endure the boring practice at such a young age?
Be lazy when you have the chance.
It wasn't until I was fifteen or sixteen years old that I settled down and understood the importance of practice, and then I started to take it seriously.
Today, Bai Zichen is wearing a brand-new blue standard robe, with a cluster of thriving black bamboo on his chest. This is one of the benefits that all monks in the Bai family can receive from the family.
The material of the Taoist robe is ordinary, but it is painted with silk runes that can automatically clean and repair cracks. If you put it in the market outside, it will cost you five spiritual stones.
There was a new brocade bag hung on his waist, which contained two spiritual stones and a stack of charms - the former was an offering he could receive from his clan every year as a first-level monk in the Qi Refining Stage, and the latter was given to him by his uncle Bai Jiu'an.
The gift of refining Qi into the body.
As the currency of the practice world, spiritual stones are also indispensable in practice, so its importance can be imagined. Although Bai Zichen does not understand the price system of the practice world, he can also learn from the knowledge from miscellaneous notes.
I know that two spiritual stones can't do anything.
"Uncle, the book says that among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, refining weapons, refining alchemy, and drawing talismans are the three easiest professions in the cultivation world to earn spiritual stones. How did you become a spiritual planter?"
At a young age, Bai Zichen decided that he must learn a craft to make money, and his biological uncle was naturally the best channel. Unfortunately, his uncle, who was at the upper level of the contempt chain, didn't know any of the crafts.
"Those three professions require extremely high talent, and a huge amount of resources must be invested in training them in the early stage. Except for sects like Qingfeng Sect, which family would specialize in cultivating such talents."
Bai Jiuan reached out and touched his little nephew's head. He was not angry because of the childish question.
"Like that alchemist, even the first-grade elixir requires hundreds of spiritual stones to be used for each furnace. Dozens of failures are enough to break the bones of a small family."
"And don't underestimate the spiritual plant master. This job does not require much investment. If one or two of the spiritual plants cultivated can succeed, the benefits will be indispensable."
Speaking of flowers, the future of a spiritual planter cannot be compared with that of an alchemist or a weapon refiner. The main reason is that the investment is small.
Bai Zichen murmured in his heart that he didn't have much grudge against the profession of spiritual planter. He was still young and had no way to learn other high-end professions, so he might as well start as a spiritual planter.
Bai Jiu'an brought Bai Zichen to a bamboo forest, pinched his fingers to create a spell, and a few emerald lights danced around his fingertips before falling into the bamboo in front of him. The bamboo leaves rustled, and in an instant, this bamboo tree
As far as the naked eye is concerned, it is much more energetic, and the branches and leaves seem to be more lush.
"Yimu Qingshen Technique, a unique method passed down from our ancestors, is unique in the entire Black Mountain County. It is of great benefit to plants and trees. It not only promotes growth and restores vitality, but also refines the essence and enhances the essence. It is exactly
With this technique, the spiritual plants cultivated by our Bai family are famous throughout Heishan County and are the most important product of the family."
Bai Jiu'an introduced the method and cast the spell at the same time. In a short time, he successfully cast the spell on several acres of bamboo.
"Hey, isn't this the black bamboo grown outside the town? Is it also a kind of spiritual plant?"
Bai Zichen looked at it carefully. Except that the color was darker and more vibrant, these bamboos were not much different from the large bamboo forests planted in Mozhu Town.
"Haha, you kid guessed it right, this is the black bamboo, but it is still far away from the spiritual plant!"
It turns out that when the ancestors of the Bai family first settled in the Black Mountain Mountains, they received a bag of seeds of the first-level low-grade spiritual plant Xuanmo Bamboo from the legacy of their predecessors. Later, they successfully planted and cultivated them, and the scale of the bamboo forest became larger and larger.
It’s just that as time goes by, a large number of new black bamboos degenerate into ordinary black bamboos, which are just tougher than ordinary bamboos. But as long as there are spiritual planters who take good care of them, and the cumulative effect of Yimu Qingshen Technique thousands of times
, it is possible to be promoted again and become Xuan Mo Bamboo again.
Black bamboos are planted everywhere outside the mortal town. Naturally, this is the order of the monks from the Bai family so that they can have enough bamboo reserves.
"There are dozens of nameless hills like this within our family. When you reach the middle stage of Qi refining, which is the fourth level of the Qi refining stage, you can apply for one with your family to open up spiritual fields and cultivate spiritual plants. Right now.
Well, you can just practice your skills at a place on my Fufeng Ridge."
Bai Zichen was happy when he heard this. The welfare of this family was quite good. Such a hill was enough for hundreds of mortals to settle down, but it was a territory that he never dared to dream of in his previous life.
About two to three hundred black bamboos occupy the most spiritual place on Fufeng Ridge. Behind it is a cliff, with lush vines climbing on the mountain wall. Looking down, you can see a pool that is only a few meters wide.
On the other side, a flat land of about a hundred feet in length and width was cultivated, and a dazzling red crop was planted with slender stems and leaves that grew to an isosceles height.
A gust of breeze, all moving to one side and then stretching back, seemed to be undulating in a sea of fire, which stunned Bai Zichen, who saw it for the first time. There was also a wall built at the corner of the flat land, and inside there were three lonely houses covered in dust.
To deal with the red crops, Bai Jiu'an was much more perfunctory. A Yimu Qing magic spell covered a large area of the spiritual field. The green light was so thin that it was difficult to see with the naked eye. It took three times, five times and two times to finish it.
"Sun Flame Grass, when grown, can be used to make first-level low-grade fire-type talisman paper. It is not very valuable. Such a large piece is estimated to be sold for more than a dozen spiritual stones. But the advantage is that it does not require high spiritual energy and is very easy to maintain.
It's done, it's not troublesome to take care of it, basically everyone in the low-level monks will plant some."
Bai Jiu'an has already seen that his nephew cannot be treated like an ordinary child. For the past half day, he has been very serious about every detail of Lingzhi's care. When he encounters something he doesn't understand, he keeps asking questions without being impatient or tired at all.
I took the initiative to introduce him to him.
"I only come here on weekdays to take care of Lingzhi. When I lived here, it was less than half a month a year, so I just built a simple house. In a few years, when my uncle reaches the later stage of Qi Refining, he will
You can bring a few mortal servants into the mountains to take care of our lives and handle some chores."
At the beginning, the Bai family still lived together with immortals, but after a few generations, the number of clan members increased, and the monks raised their opinions. The clan leader of that generation simply made rules and set up a small town at the foot of a nearby mountain to gather all the people without spiritual roots.
All the mortals of the Bai family moved into it.
Only monks who have reached the late stage of Qi refining can apply to bring a certain number of mortals to the mountain.
This is for the convenience of management, and secondly, it is to prevent overcrowding and disturbing the aura of the mountain.
But this rule has made many low-level monks suffer. The monks in the Qi Refining Stage have not yet reached the realm of Bigu. They have to prepare meals, wash and clean by themselves all day long, which makes many people who have tested their spiritual roots feel like they have soared into the sky.
The monks who were ordinary people complained endlessly. How could a person with a restless and indolent nature be willing to suffer such hardships? Whenever he had the opportunity, he would escape to the small town at the foot of the mountain to live happily for a few days.
Of course, Bai Jiuan doesn't live in Fufeng Ridge. He mainly travels around all year round to accumulate resources for cultivating immortals for family tasks. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be only one step away from the late stage of Qi refining with his qualifications of four spiritual roots.
In the evening, Bai Zichen returned to his room after having a spiritual meal with his uncle. It was said to be a spiritual meal, but it was actually an acre of spiritual land that the uncle had roughly plowed and planted some ordinary rice and vegetables. Occasionally, he could get some rice.
The Yimu Qingshen Technique is just nourishment and does not help at all in cultivation.
Coupled with Bai Jiuan's poor cooking skills and lack of good ingredients, Bai Zichen, who has been a carnivore for two generations, can only hope that his uncle will improve his skills soon and find a good cook.
