The old man's name is Zuo Xiuping, he is the tenant of the nearby spiritual field. He is a monk in the Golden Core stage and a businessman. He grows peaches to make money and has no other noble reasons.
There are only two big cities in the Little Demon Realm. The spiritual fields in the cities are the only areas that humans can cultivate. They are rented out by the city lord's palace. There is no intention or plan to sell them. Even the major families in this city cannot buy them and can only rent them.
Of course there is a lot of land outside the city, but monsters and beasts are rampant. Let alone cultivation and cultivation, survival cannot be guaranteed, and other things are even less possible.
However, Zuo Xiuping planted peach trees, and the lease period was long. He was quite famous in the city. He paid the rent and taxes on time, and no one robbed him of his spiritual land.
"Oh, your craftsmanship is good. I didn't expect that the Toxoplasma beetle tastes so delicious. I never thought of eating it before. I wasted so many delicious ingredients. I regret it. From tomorrow on, I will let the workers in the Taoyuan
Capture Toxoplasma beetles.”
Zuo Xiuping's mouth was filled with oil as he ate it. Even though it was just roasted on the fire, the aroma was so strong. This was the first time he tasted Toxoplasma beetles and he was extremely shocked.
"Come on, come on, try the Giant Spirit Peach that I planted. I'm not bragging. When talking about fruits in Pangu City, no one can ignore the fairy peach that I planted."
Zuo Xiuping said, picked up a green peach and forced it into Li Qingyun's hand.
As for Master Lingxiao, he was directly ignored by Zuo Xiuping.
In his heart》♀长》♀风》♀文》↘An old man over a hundred years old, who has only reached the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage, is no different from a useless person. He is at the bottom everywhere and there is no need to pay attention to him.
Li Qingyun took the peaches and sniffed his nose. The fruity aroma was there, but not too strong. There were red peaches in the garden, so he had to bring a few green peaches, which might have been blown down by the wind. This man is really stingy.
I glanced at it with a secret method and felt that the peach was not in danger. I wiped it and took a bite.
Because of its green astringency, the pulp is a bit crispy, and its light fruity aroma, mixed with the strong aura, produces a compound breath that is fascinating. After swallowing, a heat is generated in the abdomen, which quickly spreads throughout the limbs and bones.
, seems to increase a lot of strength.
The Giant Peach Tree is also called the Giant Peach Tree. The peach tree is more than ten meters tall and has luxuriant branches and leaves. When the fruit matures, it is as huge as a child's head. The fruit body is red and has a profound fragrance. It is a rare fruit treasure in the world of little demons.
However, during the annual fruiting period, a huge peach tree can only bear ninety-nine fruits. Coupled with insects and natural disasters, the fruiting rate is even less, so the price is about twice as expensive as butterfly melons.
The peaches that Zuo Xiuping brought were half smaller than the ripe peaches on the tree. They were obviously peaches that had been blown down by the wind.
Li Qingyun didn't say anything, but nodded slightly and praised: "The fragrance is special and worth tasting."
Apart from that, there were not many words of praise, which made Zuo Xiuping a little unhappy.
In fact, if Zuo Xiuping knew that Li Qingyun had been eating the mutated flat peaches in a small space all year round, the taste would be unique in the world, at least two levels higher than the half-cooked Giant Spirit Fairy Peach.
Master Lingxiao also took a peach to taste, but he was full of praise. It was obviously his first time to eat such a delicious spiritual fruit.
"Taoist Lingxiao is still discerning. The quality of the same Giant Spirit Fairy Peach grown by someone like me is far superior to that of other fruit farmers. Oh, by the way, what are you going to plant? Just like the little kid from the Ye family, plant butterfly melons.
?”
Zuo Xiuping saw melon seedlings in the field, but most of the melon seedlings looked similar in their early stages, making it difficult for non-professional melon farmers to distinguish them.
"Mix butterfly melons and sun melons to see if we can produce a mutated variety." Li Qingyun replied calmly.
"Haha, if mutated varieties were so easy to obtain, the city master wouldn't offer huge bonuses.
Just the number of spiritual fields I have seen where butterfly melons and sun melons are mixed, and occasionally mutated varieties appear, are of no value at all.
The little kid from the Ye family also failed several times before he finally became honest and planted butterfly melons alone. Young people, if they aim too high, will suffer big losses."
Zuo Xiuping laughed, showing a hint of disdain. Through a simple exchange, he had already deduced that the two people in front of him did not have much farming experience and did not have much background.
So under the astonished eyes of Master Li Qingyun and Lingxiao, he picked up the tray, took the remaining peaches with him, and flew to the sky above the Taoyuan, saying: "Well, it's late at night, I still have to practice, you two continue."
"This...this is..." Master Lingxiao was confused. No matter how unreasonable he was, he could still tell that he was full of contempt and contempt.
However, Li Qingyun had spit out the peach in his mouth, and threw half of the peach into the fire, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, there are all kinds of things in the world, and everyone has them. To put it in layman's terms, when the forest is big, all kinds of birds can be there.
have."
"Alas!" Master Lingxiao had never been so despised by others. His heart was unbalanced and he was quite irritable. But when he thought about the assessment of Tiandao in three years, he had to brace himself and practice hard.
Li Qingyun didn't say much. After putting away the food and tableware, he sat cross-legged by the fire and closed his eyes to practice.
Now his physical body and spiritual body can be cultivated separately, but now he is in the fields, even if there are patrolling guards flying over in the sky, he has to be careful.
Only by throwing out the twelve capital sky flags and protecting them around can you practice with peace of mind.
The fields were planted with melon seedlings, which were extremely fresh and tender, just what insects like to eat. Although they were cleaned during the day, more than ten buckets of insects were caught, and countless inedible insects were killed on the spot, but late at night, there were still countless
Insects emerged from nowhere and gnawed at the melon seedlings.
Li Qingyun's six senses were extremely sharp and he could hear the subtle movements in the field clearly. At this time, he frowned and his spirit body had to stop practicing in a small space.
Just as I was about to go out to let the spirit body catch insects, I suddenly saw a poisonous snake in a small space running through the forest, catching a very small number of insects in the small space, and seemed to enjoy it very much.
"Yes, why did you forget it? This guy is a poison snake. He loves to eat bugs. He can even eat bugs. Why should he be afraid of these ordinary spiritual bugs?"
Li Qingyun thought of this, and with a wave of his hand, the spirit body caught the Gu snake.
Gu Snake Xiao Hong was startled and was about to spray out poisonous mist in an instant. However, when she saw it was Li Qingyun, she immediately stopped her attack and wrapped it around his wrist with a ticking sound. She used her flat triangular head to kiss him intimately.
go.
Now the Gu snake has been completely tamed, and its spiritual intelligence has also increased significantly. Through spiritual communication, many true thoughts can be conveyed.
Its current IQ is at the level of a two- or three-year-old child. At this time, it was asking Li Qingyun if there was anything delicious or fun.
"How about I take you out to catch bugs?" Although Li Qingyun asked, he had already appeared hundreds of meters away with the Gu snake.
Throw the poisonous snake into the ground and let it catch the insects underground.
"Huh?" The spirit body found that a powerful spiritual consciousness was sweeping from the direction of Taoyuan. He didn't want to be discovered, so he immediately hid in the small space.
"Huh? It seems that a spirit body appeared nearby, and why did it disappear in an instant? Is it my imagination?" Zuo Xiuping's doubtful voice came from the thatched house in the center of Taoyuan.
Li Qingyun's spiritual body can be hidden and disguised at will in front of monks of the same level, but in front of golden elixir masters, it will be detected even from a very distance.
Zuo Xiuping's spiritual mind swept through the nearby area. There were people on duty in each spiritual field. Li Qingyun and Taoist Lingxiao were hiding among the formation flags, and he could still see their blurry figures.
However, the interference effect of the formation flag was very strong. Like a snake that burrowed into the ground to catch bugs, he couldn't detect it. Even if he happened to sweep it up, he would just treat it as an ordinary bug.
At dawn, Li Qingyun took back the poisonous snake that had made his belly bloated, but Master Lingxiao didn't notice it after he finished practicing.
"Hey, everyone said that there is something wrong with our spiritual field. They said that there were too many bugs and they would eat up all the melon seedlings. After this night, except for the melon seedlings that have grown bigger, no harm was found at all?"
Master Lingxiao was so immersed in his practice that he didn't notice Li Qingyun's secret operations at all.
"Haha, maybe we have caught all the bugs. The neighbors on the left and right are scaring us. As long as we take good care of it, we can grow delicious linggua and lingguo." Li Qingyun said.
"Great, what should we do now? Let the clouds spread rain and water the melon seedlings?" Master Lingxiao said excitedly as he geared up.
"When I planted the melon seedlings yesterday, I already watered them. The last two or three days have been the rooting period and there is no need to water them again. Now you can find some materials and build two thatched houses on the edge of the field. We need to take turns to guard them here.
"
"Okay, I can do this. There is a small forest nearby. I asked about it and it can be cut down." When Master Lingxiao was in Wudang, he had the experience of building a thatched house.
Three days later, Li Qingyun's spiritual field was no longer in the same area as other people's spiritual fields. There were spiritual plants in the field and a straw shed at the edge of the field.
Moreover, the melon seedlings he planted have grown vigorously, are pleasantly green, and are growing vigorously. In just three days, they have grown seven or eight large leaves.
Ye Mei happened to bring someone over to inspect the situation in her field. When she saw the melon seedlings growing in Li Qingyun's field, she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.
It took him a long time to say: "Is this really that abandoned field where insects are rampant? Someone used the residue of the soul-inducing fragrant wood here as fertilizer, which attracted all the nearby insects. In addition, after being abandoned for so long, the survival rate of the melon seedlings has declined.
How can it be so high?"
Those followers who had seriously despised Li Qingyun a few days ago were speechless and said in embarrassment: "This person must have some secret method of catching insects, otherwise he would never be able to plant such melon seedlings in a place where pests are rampant.
.”
Ye Mei had already flown over at this time and landed on the ground more than ten meters away from Li Qingyun. She was no longer aloof. Her attitude was much better than the day before yesterday.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I apologize to you for what I said before. But how did you do it?" Ye Mei looked a little shy, but her strong curiosity and desire for knowledge drove her to come over and ask.
"It's very simple. If you keep catching bugs and catch them all, there will be nothing to harm the melon seedlings." Li Qingyun didn't bother them. As a foreigner, he needed to keep a low profile before entering Pangu Academy.
"Yeah, you not only planted butterfly melons, but also mixed them with sun melons? These two melon seedlings have a strong fragrance and are the favorites of insects. Every time I plant them, there are dozens of experts busy in the field.
Even if we catch insects, one-third of the melon seedlings have been destroyed, but there are no traces of destruction on the melon seedlings here? This is simply a miracle." (To be continued.)
