Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

In the sea of ​​consciousness of the blood cocoon, the gorgeous bird condensed by the consciousness of the undead demon king was banned by Zhang He's consciousness.

Presumptuous! Hurry up and let go of the old man, and then apologize!

Although this guy was restrained, his mouth was not subdued at all, and he didn't have the demeanor of a superhuman being.

The avatars ignored his yelling, and rushed forward, hugging a wing and biting it.

This gorgeous little bird is purely made of energy, so it doesn't need to be plucked, cleaned and cooked to eat, no matter what part it is, just swallow it raw.

Amidst the unyielding screams of the Undead Demon King, the avatar swallowed the last claw into its stomach, and there was not a single hair left in the sea of ​​consciousness.

vomit!

The avatar hiccupped, but the untimely clamor of the undead demon king sounded again.

Mere ants, you can't kill me!

Zhang He was shocked, and quickly used his spiritual sense to search in the sea of ​​consciousness, but found nothing.

Hahaha! Do you think that the title of the Immortal Demon King is fake? You can devour the old man's primordial spirit, but you can't obliterate the old man's consciousness.

Hahaha……

Boy! Just wait! The old man will come back...

In this sea of ​​consciousness, after the undead demon king clamored for a while, it finally returned to silence.

Zhang He's spiritual consciousness was fully activated, but he couldn't find any clues.

The avatar sensed it, and he devoured the bird's primordial spirit, and only got a mass of pure energy. He really didn't find any spiritual consciousness, memory or anything like that.

The consciousness of the undead demon king lurked again, and this time he finally succeeded in taking away the bloody cocoon-like body.

Next, the avatar still has a lot of work to do. His primordial spirit needs to be completely fused with this blood cocoon to formally become one.

The consciousness of Zhang He's main body slowly withdrew from the blood cocoon, and he couldn't help with the rest, so he could only let the avatar do it by himself.

As for the lurking consciousness of the undead demon king, I can't find it now. I was swallowed by the clone just now. Even if the other party wants to make trouble, he must hide it to recover his vitality.

He can only wait until the other party shows up next time before trying to deal with it.

Zhang He exited the space and walked out of the secret training room.

Knowing that Zhang He has left the customs, Fat Tiger and He Xiaoyu came to find Zhang He together.

Young Master, this time the Black Water Army fought 143 people, 35 people were killed and 50 people were seriously injured...

Fat Tiger, who has always been high-spirited, is a little depressed at the moment. He has been warlike since he was a child, and he is not afraid of life and death, but he still feels very sad when he sees his comrades fall one by one.

It is true that the Black Water Army has achieved brilliant results on the battlefield, but it is also the result of everyone risking their lives.

Return the relics of the war dead to their families, draw money from the treasury to provide for their parents, and raise their children until they reach adulthood.

Thank you son! Fat Tiger and He Xiaoyu saluted Zhang He at the same time.

This is what the soldiers of the Blackwater Army paid for with their lives, and no one needs to thank you.

Pay attention to supervising the distribution of pensions, but anyone who dares to embezzle pensions will be killed without mercy!

Now that the organization is bigger and there are more people, it is natural that there may be any kind of people. Among the middle-level personnel, corruption has begun to appear.

Every year, a batch of them will be investigated and dealt with. Even beheading for public display and peeling the grass will not be able to completely cut off the greedy hands.

When wealth is in front of you, you can take it for yourself as long as you stretch out your hand. If you face this temptation every day, how many honest gentlemen can resist?

Zhang He felt that his management system was still not perfect, and a perfect system should prevent his officials from reaching out.

Zhang He didn't stay in Ming City for long, and led the army back to Ningjing City.

There are only 20 black water soldiers left in Mingcheng's Ningjingyuan, and Huya and Meng Tiantian, more than a hundred people.

All the contribution points obtained by the Blackwater Army's military exploits this time were also transferred to this group of people as the capital for learning at the main rudder.

Zhang He has always felt that the biggest gain of joining the Sun Moon League is not the land of the four counties today, but the ability to learn the inheritance of the main rudder.

After returning to Ningjing County, Zhang He rewarded each person based on their combat achievements, and distributed a lot of rewards. Among them, the more precious ones, such as Ningjin Dan, distributed a total of 80 pills, and some people even received two or three pills. .

In addition, there are other kinds of treasures distributed, and all the black water troops who participated in the battle, as long as they are not deserters, can receive a reward.

There are still 50 seriously wounded in the army, which need to be properly dealt with by Zhang He.

Immortal cultivators have strong vitality. Generally, minor injuries such as one or two stabs in the stomach, or broken bones do not need to be counted. They can recover after taking a pill and resting for a few days.

The so-called seriously wounded are often injured to the base by different kinds of mana, and it is difficult to recover after taking ordinary medicines. If there is no special healing medicine, they will not be able to recover for life.

The last time he bought a white jade ginseng in the Sky Palace of Chendu, he planted it in the space and bred a large area of ​​seedlings. The oldest one is more than 600 years old.

White jade ginseng is a kind of healing elixir, and it also has a good healing effect on the injuries of Jindan monks. It should be used to treat these foundation-building monks, and the effect should be even better.

After returning to Ningjing County, Zhang He selected several white jade ginseng plants more than 600 years old from the space, and spent a few days refining a batch of white jade pills.

After the 50 seriously injured people took it, more than 30 people successfully recovered from their injuries. The remaining people were too seriously injured and only slightly improved. They had to wait for the white jade ginseng to grow to 1,000 years before trying again.

In the blood cocoon in the space, the avatar has been in a deep sleep since it began to fuse with the blood cocoon.

After three years of silence, on this day, a tiny crack appeared on the blood cocoon, and then the crack gradually expanded.

Crack...Crack...

There was a continuous sound of cracking eggshells, and a yellow beak protruded from a cracked blood cocoon, followed by a fluffy fiery red head.

A pair of round eyes on the head kept turning, looking curiously at the surrounding environment.

After a while, the fluffy head tried to push out, and the body under the neck seemed to be struggling too hard, so that the whole blood cocoon was shaking.

Kach...Kach...

Pieces of hard red shells fell off, and finally a fiery red bird emerged from the blood cocoon.

Its whole body is covered with fine and dense fluff, and its whole body is fiery red, only its beak and claws are bright yellow.

Overall, it looks like a dyed chick, without the air of an immortal demon king at all.

The movement here has already alarmed the little skull in the space. At this moment, he has a hoe in his left hand and a bucket in his right. He is squatting beside him and looking at the little red bird curiously.

It wasn't until the avatar greeted him that he knew that it was the master's bird.

The avatar tilted its head and looked at its current body. It was round and only the size of a fist, and its wings were only a little bigger. Patting the wings was useless except to be cute.

At this time, Zhang He's main body also entered the space. He held his avatar in his hands, looked around for a while, and then rubbed it with his hands. It felt really good.

It turns out that Phoenix was pretty good looking when he was young.

In the future, if you take the bird with you when you go out, others will never imagine that this cute pet will be his clone.

Holding the little phoenix, Zhang He wondered what name he should give the clone.

Called Xiaohong?

No! No! Anyway, it's my avatar. It can't be too casual. It's better to be domineering, loud, and noble.

Long Aotian?

Immortal Heavenly Venerable?

Immortal old demon?

Invincible divine bird?

...

Zhang He thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of a suitable name. He was deeply ashamed that he didn't study too much in his previous life.

Forget it, I can just name it randomly, why not call it 'Chi Yan'.

Since then, Zhang He's first avatar Chi Yan has his own name.

When Zhang He walked out of the training room with Chi Yan, Zhang Yuan rode an iron-eating beast to his yard, and when he saw Zhang He, he ran over excitedly.

Brother! Brother! Let me show you something nice.

What makes you so excited?

I don't know, you will know when you come with me.

Zhang Yuan pulled Zhang He and left, only then did he find Chi Yan standing on Zhang He's shoulder.

Wow! What a beautiful chick, brother, when did you start raising chickens?

Zhang Yuan reached out and touched Chi Yan's fluff, What kind of chicken is this beautiful, is it delicious?

His name is Chi Yan. He is a bird, not a chick. His meat is poisonous and must not be eaten.

He was really worried that Zhang Yuan would make soup for Chi Yan that day.

After hearing that he couldn't eat it, Zhang Yuan's interest in Chi Yan was halved.

Brother, let's go!

Zhang He followed Zhang Yuan out of the City Lord's Mansion.

Not far from the City Lord's Mansion, a new building complex was built, and its total scale is larger than the City Lord's Mansion.

This is the newly built science and technology center, production center and economic center in Ningjing County in the last three years.

Inspired by Zhang He, Huya and Meng Tiantian led the establishment of a research institute in Ningjing County.

The main function of the research institute is to delve into various existing technologies in the world of cultivating immortals, and innovate them, or develop new products.

In the past, I didn't know much about anything in Heishui County because my background was too weak, and everything was just playing around.

Now through the study at the head of the Sun Moon Alliance, Huya and the others have been no less knowledgeable than some great noble craftsmen, what they lack is practical experience.

In fact, there are many powerful technologies in the world of cultivating immortals, such as the teleportation array, the sky palace in Chen Du, and the flying battleship, all of which are the products of the culmination of skills in the world of cultivating immortals.

It's just that these advanced skills are controlled by a very small number of nobles, and these skills are expensive, and ordinary cultivators simply cannot touch them.

Zhang He has experienced the rapid development of science in his previous life, and he knows the meaning of science and technology as the primary productive force.

Therefore, since he took charge of Heishui Town, he has always attached great importance to learning various techniques in the world of cultivating immortals.

It's just that the major families in the world of cultivating immortals are extremely conservative, and they like to hide any technology.

As a result, there is a lack of circulation and communication of various technologies, which makes it difficult for technology to progress, and sometimes even regresses.

Next to the research institute is the alchemy workshop responsible for the actual production. When the technology matures, there will be workshops for talismans and formations.

Beside the research institute and workshop, there is a bank.

The food stamps promoted in Heishui County in the past have slowly opened up the market here, and many merchants have become accustomed to using food stamps for transactions.

The next step of the money bank is to set up branches in various places, making it a huge network throughout the entire Zhou Dynasty, laying the foundation for the future issuance of bank notes.

Zhang Yuan led Zhang He into a room of the research institute.

Zhang He felt a little strange when he walked into the room.

He could sense that the spiritual energy in the surrounding air was gathering here, but the concentration of the spiritual energy in the room was not stronger than other places.

The spiritual consciousness scanned the room, and there was a strange array arranged here, and the surrounding aura was attracted by this array.

In the center of this Chenfa is a jade pillar about a foot high.

The spiritual energy that was attracted was merged into this jade pillar.

There are also several similar jade pillars in the room.

Brother! Do you see anything?

Zhang He knew that Zhang Yuan wanted to show off, so he shook his head cooperatively, and then cast a look of asking for advice.

This formation is based on the spirit-gathering formation commonly used in the world of cultivating immortals. It can attract the surrounding aura and gather it together.

What I have modified is that I added some drainage runes to the spirit-gathering formation, so that the gathered spirit flows to the jade pillar in the middle.

As Zhang Yuan said, he picked up a jade pillar from the corner.

Actually, modifying the spirit gathering array is not difficult, the real difficulty lies in this small column.

This small cylinder was made by me, Huya, and several refiners in the research institute. It took two years and more than 300 failures to make it.

Having said that, Zhang Yuan cut the jade pillar in half with one hand, exposing the complex rune structure inside.

This is just a defective product, you can take a look at it.

This jade pillar has no other function, the only function is to store spiritual energy and release it when needed.

Zhang He took the cut jade pillar and looked at it carefully. If the function of storing spiritual energy can be realized, it will definitely be a big improvement.

This is a jade pillar that is already full of spiritual energy. This kind of jade pillar can be used repeatedly for more than ten times, and it can release spiritual energy faster than spirit stones.

Zhang Yuan took a jade pillar full of aura and sent it to Zhang He while explaining.

Zhang He sensed the amount of aura inside, not a lot, only equivalent to two or three first-order spirit stones.

How long does it take for a jade pillar to be filled with spiritual energy?

It will take almost a month! Zhang Yuan said a little embarrassedly, the efficiency is really not high.

Not bad! It's already very good!

You must know that the spirit stone veins can only be formed in millions of years. Using the formation method can produce about two or three spirit stones in a month, which is already a great achievement.

Moreover, what Zhang He thought was that this formation and jade pillars could be used in many other places.

Due to the limited resources of spirit mines, the price of spirit stones is fixed, about 1,000 taels of silver for a first-order spirit stone.

In fact, there are many cars or boats powered by spirit stones in the world of cultivating immortals, but the operating costs are too high and there are few applications.

If you use this formation and jade pillars, the cost can be greatly reduced.

You must know that Wen Sheng's caravan uses a large number of carriages each time, and can only transport a small amount of ore, and the transportation efficiency is extremely low.

The same is true for other caravans in the Zhou Dynasty.

In the realm of cultivating immortals, there are top-notch treasures such as palaces in the air and flying battleships, as well as backward production capacity such as horse-drawn carts and ox carts.
