Everlasting

A first-level low-grade spiritual peach tree can grow about forty or fifty spiritual peaches every year, which is an annual income of more than two hundred spiritual stones.

The longevity of the Spirit Peach Tree can easily start over hundreds of years, and two hundred Spirit Stones per year are a huge profit over time.

If this is a spiritual peach tree, it can greatly improve the Chen family's current predicament.

"Pity."

Just as he was sighing, Chen Nianzhi was suddenly startled again and suddenly remembered something.

"Hongmeng Purple Qi."

He remembered that the Hongmeng Purple Qi could enhance the roots and feet, and that it had the magical power of creation, and it might be able to transform the spiritual peach tree.

However, he hesitated. Hongmeng Purple Qi was very rare. He had been cultivating for more than ten years, but he had only managed to accumulate a mouthful and a half of Creation Purple Qi.

"I once wanted to improve my cultivation qualifications again, but unfortunately it seems that Hongmeng Purple Qi can only be used once, and it is useless now."

"Perhaps it is most cost-effective right now to let the peach tree advance into a spiritual tree and use the spiritual peach to help me practice."

Thinking of this, Chen Nian made up his mind and breathed out a breath of Hongmeng Purple Qi, letting it blend into the spiritual peach tree.

Sure enough, when a breath of Hongmeng purple energy was absorbed by the spiritual peach tree, the spiritual peach tree underwent magical changes.

It becomes more upright and lush, more vigorous and extraordinary, vaguely more spiritual, and the peach blossoms become more bright and beautiful.

"Spiritual roots."

"Sure enough, it has advanced into a first-level spiritual peach tree."

Chen Nianzhi showed a look of joy, but also felt a little pain in his body. He had worked hard for ten years to save a mouthful of morning glow purple energy, but it was gone all of a sudden.

Right now, there is only half a mouthful of morning glow purple energy left, and I am afraid it will take five or six years to accumulate another breath of morning glow purple energy.

After the spiritual peach tree advanced, he simply built a bamboo house next to the spiritual peach tree and then started to open up the spiritual field.

Opening up a spiritual field is a delicate job. It not only requires cultivating the spiritual field, but also setting up the spirit gathering formation in the spiritual field. Finally, the land is warmed and nourished by the spirit cultivator's spiritual nourishing techniques. Only then can the spiritual field be finally opened up.

It took Chen Nianzhi two days to cultivate three acres of spiritual land, and another seven or eight days to set up the spirit gathering formation.

The Spirit-nurturing Technique is a first-level high-grade spell that can be cast by monks with water, wood, and earth spiritual roots. However, the number of times is quite expensive. Even Chen Nianzhi's seventh-level Qi training can only be used three times in a row, and then he has to wait for recovery. It can only be used with true energy.

In order to cultivate three acres of spiritual land, he performed more than thirty spiritual nourishing techniques in succession, and then he opened up three acres of spiritual land.

It's not that more can't be opened, it's just that the first-level high-grade spiritual energy is limited. It has to support the blue spiritual fish and Chen Nianzhi's practice. The remaining spiritual energy can only open three acres of spiritual land.

If there are any more, you will have to consume spiritual stones to open up a spiritual field. However, if you use spiritual stones to open a spiritual field, one acre of land will need to consume a thousand spiritual stones. The Chen family has no money now and cannot afford this large amount of spiritual stones. .

After finally opening up the spiritual field, it was already the end of March. Chen Nianzhi seized the time and worked for another three days before planting two acres of spiritual rice and one acre of spiritual medicine.

"alright."

Looking at the spiritual rice and elixir in the spiritual field, Chen Nianzhi smiled.

Spiritual rice ripens once a year, and one acre of spiritual land can bring about more than 20 spiritual stones in income every year. Two acres of spiritual land can bring about fifty spiritual stones to the family every year.

The maturation of elixirs takes an extremely long time. More than thirty elixir seeds were sown in this acre of spiritual field. The fastest ones take ten years to grow, while the slow ones take decades or even hundreds of years to mature.

Spiritual medicine is of great value. Although it is not as profitable as spiritual rice, it is related to the cultivation of monks above the foundation level. It is an indispensable treasure that can only be found but cannot be obtained.

A few years ago, a strain of Qingyuan Zhi matured in the Qingyuan Mountain Spiritual Medicine Garden. The clan leader, Chen Changxuan, asked someone to make a furnace of second-level high-grade elixirs with this medicine, and then he broke through the bottleneck of the seventh level of foundation building.

After planting the spiritual rice and elixir, Chen Nianzhi began to breathe a sigh of relief. From now on, he only needs to use the spiritual nourishing technique to warm the spiritual field every half month, and then water it with the spiritual rain technique. At other times, he can Practice with peace of mind.

Time flies by in practice, and two months pass in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Chen Nianzhi completed his training and sailed a lonely boat on Lingzhou Lake to count the number of green spiritual fish.

"Why are there two missing?"

After counting again and again, Chen Nianzhi frowned.

The Cyan Spirit Fish usually follows the Fish King, chasing water and grass in groups to eat. Under the protection of the Cang Qing Fish King in the later stage of Qi training, the young fish are safe and will basically not go missing.

However, after counting many times, he still found that two were missing. With his current eyesight, it was basically impossible to make a mistake when counting more than a hundred spiritual fish.

So Chen Nianzhi felt that there was something strange in the spiritual lake, there should be some kind of monster, and he hunted two spiritual fish.

"The monsters in the Spirit Lake have been strangled three times. It stands to reason that there are unlikely to be ferocious monsters anymore."

"Could it be that another monster has moved here?"

Chen Nianzhi was thinking about going to Qingyuan Mountain to ask for help, but in the end he suppressed the idea.

The Blue Spirit Fish only lost two seedlings, so the opponent should not be a too strong monster, otherwise the Blue Fish King would not be able to protect the fish group.

Cang Qingyu King has a docile temperament. Although he has the magic power in the late stage of Qi training, his strength can only be regarded as the last in the latter stage of Qi training.

Even the Fish King couldn't deal with that monster, and its strength was probably very limited. He thought he could easily take it down.

The top priority is to find the monster that stole the spiritual fish and catch him.

Chen Nianzhi searched half of the spiritual lake that day, but still found nothing until the sun went down. He could only return to the island in the middle of the lake and prepare to search tomorrow.

Early the next morning, after Chen Nianzhi swallowed the morning glow and completed the homework of Hongmeng Purple Qi, he went out to the Linghu Lake.

As soon as he saw the school of fish, he frowned and found that the number of spiritual fish was not right.

Sure enough, after counting, the number of spirit fish was reduced by two. His memory was far better than that of ordinary people when he reached the late stage of Qi training. He could tell at a glance that the two missing spirit fish were the two smallest ones.

This made Chen Nianzhi extremely heartbroken, and his heart was filled with hatred. A spiritual fish was worth five spiritual stones when it grew up. With the loss of four seedlings one after another, the family almost lost twenty spiritual stones.

The annual salary of a monk in the late stage of Qi training in the Chen family was only ten spirit stones, and now he had lost four spirit fishes all at once. Even if he was already a high-level official in the family who had the authority to talk, he might not necessarily be held accountable for some losses, but he would still feel extremely ashamed and angry.

"Damn thing, don't let me catch you."

Chen Nianzhi gritted his teeth, used the water avoidance technique to dive into the lake, followed the group of spirit fish, and prepared to wait and see.

The fish school was not attacked that day, but he was determined to catch the monster and did not return to the island in the middle of the lake. Instead, he simply followed the fish school and stayed there all night.

It wasn't until dawn the next day that he finally gained something and discovered the culprit who stole the spiritual fish.

I saw a sneaky creature swimming out of the reeds and secretly swimming towards the spirit fish.

"Purple striped goose?"
