Chapter 1143 What is planted in the spiritual field
Li Qingyun was pulled by Master Lingxiao and flew with his sword. In just a few minutes, he arrived at the Lingtian area outside the central city square.
Although it is lunch time, the farmland is still busy, with monks walking around, either making clouds to spread rain, controlling the pollination of butterflies and bees, or using secret techniques to catch insects.
Hard work will pay off, and under the sunshine of the Little Demon Realm, those who work hard and sweat will have a good harvest.
Standing over No. 1138 Lingtian, it is a barren field with only some weeds on it. It is impossible to tell what the previous tenant planted.
Six acres of land is too little for a cultivator. However, according to Pangu City's regulations, people without farming experience can only contract up to three acres per person.
This kind of regulation is for fear that some people who have no planting experience will waste the huge spiritual fields. The spiritual fields will not produce anything, which is a loss to the entire human race.
"Li Qingyun, what should we plant? You have been asking outside for so long, do you know what is the most profitable to plant?" Master Lingxiao was forced by Lingshi. A Taoist like a fairy, now he talks only about money.
Li Qingyun replied: "Elixirs are the most profitable, but unfortunately it will take at least a hundred years to take effect. We can't wait. The second is fruits and vegetables, which have a short growth cycle and are of various types. They can be planted intermittently and the profits are high. Finally, there is spiritual rice.
Lingmai and the like, although less valuable, are more valuable for their stability and are the favorites of large growers."
Let alone a hundred years, Taoist Lingxiao cannot wait for a year. He is not just trying to make money now, but also trying to survive.
As long as you obtain the Bone-Reverse Pill, you can enter Pangu Academy and practice the sealing technique. Only by practicing the sealing technique can you satisfy Heaven and have a chance to avoid the bad luck of being wiped out.
"Then let's not grow elixirs or rice. Let's just grow fruits and vegetables. This will make money quickly. After planting, I will set up a stall on the street and go to various restaurants to sell it. I will never be lazy."
Taoist Xiao promised swornly.
"Haha, that's easy to say." Li Qingyun was noncommittal and observed the surrounding terrain.
The tenant on the left grows a kind of peach, which looks strange and has the words "Fu Lu Shou" on it. It is ruddy and shiny and looks very good. The fruity aroma wafts from a distance, making people salivate.
However, this kind of peach tree has a strange appearance. It grows very tall, has dense leaves, is more than ten meters high, and severely blocks light. As a neighbor of this tenant, it is very disadvantageous. A large area of No. 1138 Lingtian cannot be seen for half a day.
Sunlight.
The tenant on the right is quite good. They grow a melon that grows close to the ground. This melon is only about the size of a palm and has a shape similar to a butterfly. It is called butterfly melon. It has bright and changeable colors, is both beautiful and delicious, and is a small melon.
A rare treasure in the demon world, the price is extremely expensive.
However, any delicious fruit will attract a large number of insects. Whether it is beetles underground, caterpillars on the leaves, or even small beasts.
It is not enough to rely on defense formations alone. We can only hire a large number of workers to patrol, inspect and capture all kinds of pests every day to ensure that the butterfly melons are not harmed.
Standing in the middle of these two pieces of land, Li Qingyun finally understood why the official who gave him the jade plaque had such a strange expression.
Damn it, this is a big pit.
In the peach orchard on the left, workers occasionally fly over, catching bugs and cutting off the newly grown branches to prevent them from competing with the peaches for nutrients, which is quite relaxing.
In the melon field on the right, there were dozens of workers flying around, sweating profusely and exhausted. From time to time, insects would run into the No. 1138 spiritual field, burrow into the soil, and disappear.
"I just felt that there was no gift at that time, and the atmosphere was a bit wrong. I was actually assigned a piece of land like this. At that time, I thought that the officials of the Little Demon Realm were honest and upright."
Li Qingyun fell to the ground and grabbed a handful of soil. At least three Toxoplasma beetles, two gray scale beetles, and several unknown eggs emerged from it.
Master Lingxiao's expression changed at that time. As a high-ranking Wudang Patriarch, he has been practicing since he was a child. He has never been in the fields, let alone caught bugs. He is not afraid of tigers and lions, but he is afraid of these disgusting bugs. When he sees them, he will even
I don't even know where to put my hands.
"Why... there are so many bugs? In a field like this, any seedlings planted will be eaten up by bugs. Li Qingyun, can you sprinkle some powder to repel the bugs?"
"Medicinal powder? Haha, I heard that there are some, but any plant grown will affect the taste. Therefore, if you want to grow products of good quality, no one uses medicinal powder."
"..." Taoist Lingxiao was speechless. He felt that farming was not easy. If there was a chance, he would want to sell himself.
Taoist Lingxiao also grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, and more bugs came out of it. He screamed in fright and quickly threw the dirt away.
"The razor-billed toxoplasma beetles are actually very delicious. I found that no one here eats them. Find a small bucket and put them in the small bucket. Maybe they can be sold for a good price."
"The eggs next to the side are actually called gray worm pupae. They are boiled in boiling water and then deep-fried. The taste is comparable to monster meat... I have never eaten it, but I heard others say it in a restaurant."
"This kind of bug is called a wood louse. It is inedible. It is poisonous in the body and tastes bad. It has a strong fishy smell. You can kill it immediately when you see it. However, it has too many eggs. It is best to burn them with fire spells.
, or blast them with lightning spells to kill them completely."
"Let's not think about farming today. Let's plow the land with flying swords and catch insects. Tomorrow we will buy some food scraps to use as fertilizer. After the clouds and rain are spread, we can then figure out what vegetables and fruits to plant."
After Li Qingyun decided to farm, he put in a lot of effort. Not only did he buy farm tools from major seed stores, but he also purchased some special seeds from the Little Demon World. The boss saw that he was asking too many questions, and he was obviously a newcomer, so he waved his hand and gave him a gift.
An introductory book to farming.
The name of the book is, "Encyclopedia of Introductory Knowledge on Lingtian Farming and Management". To put it bluntly, it is just some introductory knowledge, with no in-depth planting and management at all.
That is the unique skill of each farming family and will never be revealed easily.
Just when Li Qingyun and Taoist Lingxiao were plowing the fields with flying swords, a group of people flew in from the melon field nearby. The leader was a beautiful woman with a young appearance, a good figure, and a bone age of only 20 or 30 years old. Behind her were
There were more than ten people, including guards, stewards, and leaders of farm workers.
"Huh? There is a new tenant in No. 1138 Lingtian? Oh, I hope this tenant can stick around for a longer time. After all, if he sticks around for a long time, more pests in our fields will run to him."
"Another idiot, he definitely didn't give any gifts to the city lord's allocator when applying for a spiritual field. This spiritual field has changed its owner more than ten times in the past two years. This time
The new owner probably won’t last three months, and will leave in embarrassment like the previous owners.”
"Three months? Haha, you are looking too high on him. The current season is wrong. The giant peach on the left is at its most luxuriant period of the year, and our butterfly cantaloupe on the right is in the mature stage again. When the time comes, pests will
Wave after wave of attacks, 1138 this spiritual field, may not even be able to save the young shoots."
Li Qingyun said anything, and he didn't shy away from talking about his voice. He spoke directly and said it in an ordinary way.
The leading female nun, dressed in gorgeous clothes, frowned when she heard the voice behind her and said: "Everyone, don't gloat about the misfortune. Speaking of which, we are the ones who have caused trouble for the tenants of this spiritual field. If it weren't for the giant peach tree on the left that was too tall and blocked the sun.
Seriously, maybe I have rented out the spiritual field No. 1138 to save others from suffering."
"Miss, you are so kind. What does this have to do with us? Haha, the only fault is that the owner No. 1138 has no brains and signed a lease contract with the city lord's mansion without asking. The annual rent for six acres of land is six
Thousand Spirit Stones are around, and the City Lord’s Mansion is cheap again.”
Hearing these comments, Li Qingyun's face turned ugly. As a farmer on Earth with many years of planting experience, he had just arrived in the Little Demon Realm and was actually tricked? It would be absolutely embarrassing if this matter spread.
Master Lingxiao gritted his teeth and plowed the fields with his flying sword. As long as the bugs found were edible, he endured nausea and put them into a small bucket with his spiritual thoughts.
"Hello, new neighbor, I am Ye Mei, the tenant of the farmland next door. What are you going to plant here?" The woman actually flew nearby and took the initiative to say hello to Li Qingyun.
Li Qingyun raised his head and took a look, feeling that the women here were quite attractive. Although they were not stunningly beautiful, their temperament and charm were absolutely first-class, and they had a classical beauty that made people's hearts beat.
"Call me Li Qingyun. My friend Taoist Master Lingxiao and I have rented six acres of spiritual land and are planning to plant some fruits and vegetables. We haven't decided what to plant yet. We will make plans after plowing the land."
Li Qingyun reported his real name and glanced at Ye Mei cautiously. With his eyesight at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he could not see through the other party's cultivation level. It was really terrifying.
That meant that Ye Mei was at least a Golden Core monk. She was only a few years older than herself, but she was already a Golden Core monk. This made Li Qingyun, who had a small space, extremely unhappy and unbalanced.
"I suggest you plant fruit trees. Although the results are slow, at least you will not be affected by the butterfly melons here, and at least the seedlings can be guaranteed. Otherwise, no matter what vegetables you plant, they will be eaten up by insects. You have to learn from the past and take precautions."
After saying that, Ye Mei smiled slightly, turned and left, with the gentleness of a lady.
"Thanks for the reminder. But fruit trees are too slow, so they are not my best choice. There is really nothing to choose from. Maybe I can also plant butterfly melons."
Li Qingyun was not appreciative, he had his own considerations, and the looks from those behind Ye Mei were so bad that it made people feel uncomfortable.
Ye Mei frowned slightly: "That's all. How you choose is your own business."
She said it politely, but the followers behind her were not that well-educated. Someone immediately scolded Li Qingyun for being ignorant.
"Haha, a fool like this who doesn't even know how to choose a field actually chooses butterfly melon? Don't you know that this is one of the ten most difficult fruits in the Little Demon World?"
"I bet that the seeds he planted in the soil will not even be able to germinate and will be eaten up by insects. If you dare to compete with the lady in planting butterfly melons, you are simply asking for death. Haven't he heard of the butterflies planted by the lady?
Gua, even the city lord and the elders are full of praise?"
"Three days later, we came back for inspection. I guess he was crying in the field. Butterfly melon seeds are not cheap." (To be continued.)
