Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

It took a month for the Ningyingguo seeds planted in the space to sprout, and then the growth process was also very slow.

Zhang He checked the information and found that it would take at least more than 1,000 years for a newly planted Ningying fruit tree to bear fruit.

In addition, it takes 3,000 years from flowering to fruit maturity. It takes at least four to five thousand years to harvest the first batch of Ningying fruits.

Even if they are planted in a space and watered every day, it will take more than ten years before their own Ning Ying Fruit can be used.

In the past 100 years, Zhang He has trained a lot of golden elixir monks, many of whom have reached the late stage of the golden elixir, and now only need the Ningying elixir.

Although Jiang took away 50% of the profits from the spiritual tools business in Ningjing County, it also used Jiang's name to develop vigorously in many aspects, and encountered much less resistance.

So I have made a lot of spiritual stones from puppet sales and other aspects over the years.

In addition to improving people's livelihood and building infrastructure, all the spiritual stone resources obtained were used to train the monks under his command.

The Blackwater Army has expanded to 3,000 men, and with the addition of 3,000 reserve troops, the total number has reached 6,000.

Similarly, the size of the Shadow Pavilion hidden in the dark has also increased several times.

Because the business is getting bigger now, more manpower is needed.

For example, the railway from Ningjing County to Heishui County was opened decades ago. For such a long distance, in addition to having an army guard on each train, there are also some sentry points set up along the way to protect the trains. Maintain railway safety.

In recent years, Ningjing County and Heishui County have built a lot of railways, and have gradually formed the prototype of a transportation network.

This is because Zhang He has always exercised restraint and has not built large-scale projects.

Otherwise, with his current industrial base, he could completely extend the railway network throughout the Zhou Dynasty.

It's just that if he does this, he will definitely be like the spiritual tools market, making wedding clothes for others, and his work will be in vain.

These 13 top wealthy families of the Great Zhou Dynasty stand at the top of the food chain, overlooking the entire world of immortality. Anyone with a larger size will be targeted by them and become their meal.

People are under the roof, so it’s better not to stand out.

There is no corresponding strength,

The fatter you eat, the faster you die.

Zhang He's second clone walked out of the Ningjing County City Lord's Mansion and walked towards the research institute.

Zhang He now has four clones, the first clone is Chiyan, the second is the puppet clone, the third clone is practicing the Golden Body Kung Fu, and the fourth clone is Qing Chi.

The second clone is made of ten thousand years of green dragon wood and can be cultivated on its own. It has now reached the late stage of the golden elixir and is only missing one Ningying elixir.

The Research Institute stands next to the City Lord's Mansion, and its scale is much larger than the City Lord's Mansion. If you see it without knowing it, you will definitely mistake the Research Institute for the City Lord's Mansion.

The institute is divided into many departments, each responsible for different directions, such as weapons, armor, puppets, magic, etc.

Meng Tiantian has always been responsible for elixir-related content in the institute. In fact, it also includes many subdivisions, such as various poisons, poison-quenching magic weapons, and chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

Recently, Meng Tiantian and Huya collaborated to modify a new type of puppet and won a large number of awards.

Her new puppet imitates the shape of a flying bird and is filled with a large amount of poison. The outer layer of the puppet is coated with paint that blocks spiritual consciousness.

It can be poisoned silently and controlled remotely.

However, after this new product was produced, Zhang Merger did not arrange for mass production, but instead sealed it.

When the second clone found Meng Tiantian, she was conducting a test on a magical medicine.

Master!

Well! No need to be polite, I have something to ask you.

As the second clone spoke, he opened the isolation formation in the room, then took out two jade boxes and handed them to Meng Tiantian.

Meng Tiantian opened the jade box, his eyes lit up, and he saw two fruits that were very similar to babies inside.

Ningying Fruit!

She is in charge of alchemy matters, and even if she has never seen Ning Ying Guo, she has seen it in books and materials.

Nowadays, in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, except for the 13 top wealthy families, the rest of the forces can only see the Ningying Pill and cannot access the Ningying Fruit.

Yes, there are only these two in total, leave them all to you!

As for how many Ningying Dan you can refine, try your best!

No one has any experience in this area, and Zhang He does not insist on the rate of elixir formation. Anyway, in more than ten years, the Ning Ying Fruit in his space will be harvested.

Okay! I will definitely live up to your high expectations.

It's okay. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. This matter must be kept strictly confidential and no information should be leaked.

After the second clone solemnly ordered it to be kept secret, it left Meng Tiantian's yard and walked towards an abandoned warehouse in the institute.

This abandoned warehouse is located in a corner of the institute and is usually used to store some discarded materials.

The second clone walked into the warehouse. The materials inside were piled up in a messy manner. Some items were covered with dust. It had obviously been thrown here for many years.

He walked towards a large abandoned puppet, took out a jade token and inserted it into a gap on the ground. Once it was inserted to the bottom, the jade token was completely submerged.

At this time, the ground made a clicking sound, and the abandoned puppet slowly moved away, revealing the entrance to a five-foot-wide cave.

The second clone jumped in without hesitation, and then the hole slowly closed again.

Following the tunnel into the depths of the ground, a huge underground space opens up. This space is filled with all kinds of brand-new magic weapons, spiritual tools, puppets of various strange shapes, new psychic cannons, locomotives, and even There are two huge flying battleships.

Judging from the shape of the flying battleship, it is much more exquisite than the one currently in service in Ningjing County.

The items stored in this underground space are all the latest research results of the institute. Their technical level has already surpassed the current actual use for several generations, but they are all sealed here and never seen the light of day.

It’s not that Zhang He is crazy and doesn’t respect the fruits of the research institute’s work.

But he didn't dare. He was afraid that these things would be too good and destroy the peace among the surrounding forces, causing other forces to gang up and attack him.

The alliance of these forces is secondary, the most important of which is the fear of the Jiang family.

As the saying goes, if the first rafter rots first, the pig will be killed if it becomes fat.

Even though the Jiang family seems to have only a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators, the strong ones who transform themselves into gods usually don't show up, that's because they don't need them.

With the Jiang family's status and reputation, if he wanted to deal with an ordinary force, all he had to do was say something. Naturally, many forces would rush to do their best to please the Jiang family.

If it were a little more troublesome, with the foundation accumulated by the Jiang family for tens of thousands of years, they could easily create hundreds of Nascent Souls, and it would be easy to destroy their power.

With the urinary behavior of the 13 top wealthy families, as vested interests, they will never allow any power to rise and then share the cake with them.

If Zhang He doesn't want to be suppressed by the wealthy family all the time, he must break through their blockade.

But in the early stage, you must disguise yourself well, put away all sharp claws, and appear docile and harmless.

The Zhou Dynasty has a history of tens of thousands of years, and there are many forces with this ambition. However, when their strength has just begun to grow, they will be targeted and restricted by wealthy families.

In history, these wealthy families who showed ambitions were suppressed, the supply of Ning Ying Dan was stopped, and finally the family was destroyed.

Several such down-and-out families have been merged into the Sun-Moon Alliance, and the library still preserves the classics and historical materials of these families.

There are also some that have developed so much that they cannot be eliminated. For example, there was once a puppet family that once produced Nascent Soul stage puppets, and even produced more than ten at a time.

This puppet family was wiped out overnight, the Nascent Soul puppet was shattered, and no member of the family was left alive.

So now all the new inventions made by the institute and the really good stuff are hidden.

Take out what is of little use and vigorously promote selling it for money.

These items that are of little use or only have little improvement can still make money after being packaged commercially. Sometimes useless items are more profitable than some practical items after being packaged and promoted.

To this end, Ningjing County has developed more than a dozen luxury goods, specifically targeting the aristocratic class.

For example, the research institute refines super stainless steel from several kinds of metal spiritual objects and makes it into rings, necklaces, headwear, belts and other decorations.

Because of its high price and exquisite workmanship, it has become popular among the aristocracy.

In addition, the simulated puppets produced by the puppet factory are loved by all kinds of otakus and rotten women. Because these puppets without combat effectiveness are extremely realistic and master a variety of skills, they are more expensive than combat puppets with foundation-building cultivation.

There are also some elixirs such as Beauty Pills, Buduowan Pills, and Hehuan Powder, which also have a huge market.

The second clone looked around in the underground space, took out a flying puppet more than two feet long from the storage bag, and found an open space to put it down.

It is said to be a puppet, but judging from its streamlined shape, it actually looks more like an airplane that Zhang He had seen in his previous life.

This is the latest flying puppet produced by the institute. It can be controlled remotely by spiritual consciousness, or a monk can be arranged to hide in it and control it to fly farther.

The flying puppet can carry dozens of one-time attack magic weapons, such as rocket launchers, and explosive magic weapons that are larger than the rocket launchers.

When the time comes later, you can use this kind of flying puppet to form a flying cavalry.

When the second clone came out of the abandoned warehouse and just after leaving the research institute, a subordinate reported that Mei Yingxue had come to see him and was waiting for him at the gate of the city lord's mansion.

When he approached the City Lord's Mansion, he saw the beautiful figure in the distance.

Yingxue! You're here!

Mei Yingxue turned around and saw the second clone, but she didn't look good on him.

It's you again, you stupid idiot!

She was very familiar with Zhang He and could distinguish the clones at a glance. What's more, this clone only had Jindan cultivation, so it was easy to distinguish.

Can you be the master of this piece of wood? I have something to do with your true self!

I am Zhang He, Zhang He is me, there is no distinction between us.

The second clone has actually explained it many times, but Mei Yingxue still trusts Zhang He more.

Okay, I'll ask him to come out, please wait a moment.

This place is too far from Heishui County where the main body is located, and the consciousness cannot be contacted instantly. The consciousness of the second clone contacted Chi Yan and asked him to find Zhang He's main body through his consciousness.

Chi Yan slept in the space, and through the space as a bridge, his consciousness easily contacted Zhang He.

Only a moment later, Zhang He, who was far away in Heishui County, appeared in front of Mei Yingxue.

Zhang He, you finally showed up!

Walk!

Mei Yingxue said hello, took Zhang He's hand and left.

The two walked behind a big tree in Zhang He's mansion. Mei Yingxue looked around and saw no one around. She took a deep breath and relaxed her facial expression.

Zhang He, I wonder if you plan to marry a flowery, tender girl in the future? Or is it more chewy to marry a dry old lady?

This question confused Zhang He and he really didn't know how to answer it.

Of course, even if he thought with his toes, he would choose a tender one, but he didn't dare to express it too directly.

Fortunately, Mei Yingxue did not wait for his answer and continued: If you like tender food, hurry up as soon as possible. This girl is already over 500 years old this year, and she will be buried in more than 200 years.

If you like something a bit older and chewy, then just wait a little longer. I will marry you when I am 800 years old!

Only then did Zhang He realize that this was what Mei Yingxue was talking about. The lifespan of a Golden elixir monk was only about 800 years. Mei Yingxue had already reached the late Golden elixir cultivation stage, but she did not have the Ning Ying Dan and could not break through to Yuan Yuan. An infant only has a lifespan of 800 years.

Originally, they had mentioned their marriage last time, but it was interrupted by the Baji Alliance and the Jiang family, so they could only postpone the wedding at that time.

Later, Zhang He got the news about the Ningying Fruit, and he planned to help Mei Yingxue get a Ningying Pill, and then get married after Mei Yingxue broke through to Nascent Soul.

Because Zhang He could guess that Mei Yingxue felt a little inferior because her current level was lower than hers.

Besides, he didn't want his significant other to run out of life early before the quilt was warm enough to cover him, leaving him alone as a widow.

It's just that it hasn't been done yet, so he hasn't mentioned it to Mei Yingxue.

Mei Yingxue didn't know it, so she waited and waited, but didn't hear any news from Zhang He. Seeing that her life span was about to run out, she was really anxious.

After several days of preparation and mental preparation, I boldly approached Zhang He and asked such a question.

After she finished speaking, her face was red to the roots of her ears.

Hahaha... Of course I like to eat soft tofu. I want to eat the kind that is watery and water will come out after just one sip.

He opened and closed his index fingers and gently lifted Mei Yingxue's jade-like chin. Seeing Mei Yingxue's hazy eyes and bright red lips, which looked delicious, he immediately took a bite... (Neck Omit 10,000 words below)

Two people who had lived in vain for more than 500 years but had no experience were in a hurry and made irresponsible remarks. In the end, they could only settle the matter hastily.

Half an hour later, Zhang He was sitting on the bedside, shirtless and in high spirits.

I think I found the trick, let's try again?

Mei Yingxue only stretched out half of her head from the quilt and nodded imperceptibly.

Zhang He turned over and got into the quilt again. He recalled some of the essentials of movements taught by Teacher Qimeng in his previous life. After comparing the two, he made rapid progress, achieved a small success, and reached the entry level...
