Chapter 68: Small achievements, but new problems encountered
Chen Mou didn't ask any more questions. He used his qi-gazing technique to see that there was no evil spirit hidden in Xu'er's body. He turned around and walked into the west room to go about his own business. He only sent a message to Ying'er and asked the poor maid to come in and have something to eat.
, permission to communicate in the future.
He saw that the thin maid had saved food from her mouth, and there were a few fresh scratches on her wrists and neck.
There must have been a quarrel and conflict with two other maids from the same courtyard over the failure to return the food.
Those who borrow and repay need to be treated kindly and fill their stomachs.
He eats well, but is life-saving food for others.
With the young master's permission, Ying'er pulled Xu'er, who was blown away by the wind, into the courtyard and served them exquisite refreshments and a bowl of hot meat soup.
For most of the afternoon, three maids of the same day but different fates were chatting and laughing in the kitchen in low voices and talking about personal things.
When she heard the sound of blacksmithing in the west room, it stopped and stopped. Xu'er, who was full after eating, said goodbye to her two sisters. She was held by her two sisters with a bamboo basket on her back, which was filled with the grain and dried vegetables she had returned.
Cured meat, fresh chicken, meat, vegetables, oil and salt, etc.
Xu'er choked and went out, promising her two sisters to come back and play again next time.
The seven thieves were escorted to the execution platform and publicly executed by beheading. The town was buzzing with discussions for a few days like a festival, adding some topics for after-dinner talk.
The days that followed rushed. After harvesting the wheat at the end of April, Mo Fu finally had some free time and brought a basket of eels to the Chen Mansion for a dinner.
He and Chen Mou were sitting in the main room drinking tea, while four maids, plus Xu'er who came to play and stayed away, were busy in the east room collecting eels and preparing a sumptuous dinner.
"Okay, quietly, there is a new beautiful girl in the house."
"Don't talk nonsense, she is the maid from the neighbor's house to the east. Her master has been missing for more than two months. She couldn't stand the hunger. She came to borrow food more than a month ago. Later, the Foreign Affairs Office registered them and distributed rations to them every month. She
He saves food from his mouth and returns it to the family, and often plays with Ying'er and Han'er."
Chen Mou briefly explained a few words.
You can't disrespect others just because Xu'er has a humble status.
Mo Fu understood and stopped making fun of the strange maid. He opened the blue and white cloth covering another bamboo basket at his feet and took out four baby fist-sized spiritual peaches from it. He couldn't suppress the happiness on his face and said in a low voice:
"This is a new spiritual peach I cultivated using the spiritual plant pollination technique. Its spiritual energy is 20% higher than the previous variety. You can try it."
He did not elaborate on his attempts and hardships in using different peach tree varieties to pollinate, and finally achieving more than 20 peaches on one tree.
Some of the peaches on other trees have not changed significantly, and some have even become severely degraded. They taste bitter and astringent and cannot be eaten.
His confidence has never been greater. With this year's experience and the use of new peach cores to cultivate peach seedlings, he believes that he will be able to obtain satisfactory new varieties in a few years.
The first-generation spiritual peaches he has cultivated so far are of inferior quality compared to the spiritual peaches grown in the sect elder's spiritual garden.
The peach grove he managed was only about ordinary spiritual peaches, and he couldn't get high-end ones to try.
"Oh, congratulations on winning the first battle, it's not easy."
Chen Mou got up and washed two spiritual peaches with water. He and Mo Fu took one each and took a bite. The skin was thin and the juice was sweet. The flesh of the peach entered his stomach and turned into spiritual energy. It was indeed much better than the spiritual peaches bought in the market.
After taking a few bites, Mo Fu put the peach core into his sleeves, wiped his hands with a towel, took out a small bag from the basket with a smile, and said, "I'll show you something good again."
Untie the string on the bag to reveal a handful of wheat grains inside.
"This is the best batch of seeds for spiritual energy. Next year I will make further improvements based on this. In a few years, I should be able to achieve the spiritual wheat I need."
What Mo Fu really cares about is Lingmai and Lingdao. Lingtao is just a side experiment for him. Anyway, one sheep is herding, and a group of sheep is herding. Once he has mastered the core method, he will be busy with many things in the future, very many.
Just thinking about it made him excited and wished he could live in the fields.
It's only a matter of time before you become famous, and it's also a matter of time before you get feedback from heaven and luck.
Chen Mou grabbed a few grains of wheat and felt them in his hands. He never paid attention to the wheat and could not tell whether the spiritual energy was good or bad. He muttered and reminded: "Brother Mo, I heard that this new spiritual planting technique has a flaw. The cultivated
It is more difficult for new seeds to germinate, and even if they can germinate, they can easily return to the previous variety or even regress."
"Is that what it said in the scrap booklet?"
Mo Fu suddenly became nervous.
He put all his energy into it, even at the cost of spiritual stones.
"Yes, I also saw the wheat grains you cultivated and suddenly remembered this. Unfortunately, the content recording the solution is incomplete. If you try more in the future, you should be able to find a solution."
"Brother Mou, uncle Mou, if you think about it again, what else are you missing? But you must tell me, stop playing around, human life is at stake."
Mo Fu almost hugged his thigh and howled, why don't you play with him like this.
Fortunately, he hasn't asked the city manager for credit yet. Once he achieves results, he wants to strive for more favorable conditions and resources.
Otherwise, it would be a one-time deal, and Steward Hou would not give him any shoes to wear, and would embarrass him in every possible way.
Chen Mou smiled and said: "No more, really no more."
Mo Fu put away the remaining peach stones and the bag of spiritual wheat, and fell into deep thought, seeming absent-minded. How to solve the new troubles was enough to give him a headache.
After dinner, Mo Fu did not sit down for a long time, but took Shu'er and Dou'er to say goodbye and go back.
He has to look through the collection of books at home and look for solutions from many aspects.
Xu'er, who was helping the cook, left in a hurry before the meal started. She was worried that the courtyard door would be locked if she returned late, and the two maids in the courtyard with her were difficult to talk to. Ying'er wrapped some braised meat and cooked food in oil paper and stuffed it for her.
Eat with one sleeve.
Chen Mou gave two spiritual peaches that he had reserved specially to Ying'er and Han'er, and told them to keep the peach cores after eating and return them to Master Mo. They should not throw them away casually.
He walked into the quiet room in the west room and went to the top of the cliff. He practiced the Eight Turns from Fire and flying with the sword for half an hour, and then practiced the photography and breathing techniques. He didn't stop until the scorching sun was in the sky.
After resting for a while, he looked towards the stone pillar array.
Suddenly, a golden flame appeared out of thin air, bright and dazzling, about five feet high from the ground.
Chen Mou was overjoyed. After four months of continuous waiting, he finally got what he wanted.
He moved his feet and jumped into the formation. The golden threads of fire slowly fell to the glazed ground. The threads dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye. He had already reached into his arms to take out the ancient jade. Looking for the right moment, he used his left hand to
He stretched out his hand towards the ground, grabbed the moment when the fire wire hit the ground, and caught the remaining sparks in the palm of his hand covered with red energy.
"Hiss", the familiar severe burning pain still made him groan, but it was much better than last time.
He was running his skills desperately, absorbing the domineering energy of Qiyao Fire.
Because he had no worries, he persisted in pain and joy until the pain slowly spread to his arms along with the high temperature. When he couldn't bear it anymore, he hurriedly closed his hands and used ancient jade to absorb the uncontrollable heat.
Feeling the high temperature of energy quickly flowing towards Gu Yu, a flash of light appeared in his mind.
In the future, he might be able to use the Fire Control Technique in the "Lingxi Fire Technique" he learned to try to capture some of the energy of the Qi Yao Fire, or refine more of the scorching energy for his own use?
I just don’t know how many months will it take for the stone pillar array to emit fire next time?
