Natural Fairy Species

Chapter 142 Dragon Tooth Rice

 “The little old man pays homage to Elder Bai.”

 Old Tong has not changed much from the past. He has gray hair, a goatee, and is wearing a sect steward's robe.

 I remember that I was only at the third level of Qi Refining at the beginning. At this age, I can still be promoted to the sixth level of Qi Refining. I must have taken a lot of spiritual pills.

 “Get up, we are all old friends after all.”

Bai Zichen couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The four people sitting at a table at the tea stall in front of the mountain gate met again in Qingfeng Gate.

"The little old man has been working in the fields, but the reputation of the elder is also as good as the others... A grandson of the family has reached the age of cultivation and wants to be named by the elder."

 Old Tong knelt on the ground and refused to get up, so he knelt twice more.

"This is a little apprenticeship ceremony that I have prepared, and I would like to ask Elder Bai to take a look."

"I have no intention of taking on a disciple, so it goes without saying... If you become an outside disciple, you will also have deacons to teach you. This is how everyone came here."

 Bai Zichen expected that the other party would make this request, so he naturally refused.

"The little old man knows that Elder Bai has a noble threshold, and most people definitely don't have the qualifications. My grandson only wants to be a registered disciple. I have been a spiritual farmer all my life, and I have no hope of building a foundation. I just hope that he can change his destiny... Take a look. Let’s take this apprenticeship ceremony.”

 Old man Tong seemed to be possessed by a demon, and determined that his grandson could only have a future by becoming a disciple of Bai Zichen.

Bai Zichen reluctantly took the brocade bag that Old Tong raised over his head. It was bulging, as if it contained a lot of things.

“Is this an improved large spiritual rice? It’s not like blood ginseng rice…”

 The brocade bag was opened, tilted slightly, and a handful of plump and slender rice grains fell into the palm of the hand.

This kind of spiritual rice is full of vitality. Each grain is as long as a finger and has broken away from the shape of rice grains.

Just by smelling it, you can feel the fragrance of Lingmi, and even feel like you have a big appetite.

It is definitely a spiritual rice that can have a significant effect on foundation-building monks.

“Second-grade top-quality spiritual rice, Dragon Tooth Rice!”

 Old man Tong read word by word, staring at the brocade bag, his eyes turned red as if it were a treasure.

"This is a wild spirit plant that I picked up while inspecting the terrain of the spirit field near Feiyue Lake. According to the sect's rules, this unexpected resource discovered by an individual has full control over it. It has been planted secretly in private In one round, thirty kilograms of dragon tooth rice were harvested, all of which can be used to make the next batch of spiritual rice seeds!"

“Is this enough for my little grandson’s apprenticeship ceremony?”

The corners of Bai Zichen's mouth twitched. Old Tong was really inexplicably persistent.

 He can be sure that among the several spiritual rice inheritances in the sect, there is no Dragon Tooth Rice.

Since practicing the five-crystal glazed body, he has been very interested in all kinds of body-refining elixirs and spiritual rice, and has read a lot of information.

 Qingfengmen has a heritage, and the only type of second-level spiritual rice that has been cultivated for a long time, and it is far from reaching the level of Dragon Tooth Rice.

 What Old Man Tong just said is very likely to be true.

 The wild second-grade spiritual rice seeds, according to Old Man Tong, have already been planted.

That apprenticeship ceremony is too valuable.

Longya rice seeds, coupled with supporting planting and cultivation methods, may be able to impress some Master Jiedan and let him accept a named disciple.

“Why don’t you just hand it over to the sect and ask an elder to accept your grandson as a direct disciple? I think the sect will agree.”

 Bai Zichen poured the longya rice back and began to seriously consider the matter.

“My grandson, like Elder Bai, has three spiritual roots. He has liked wielding a wooden sword and wielding it since he was a child... Only by joining your sect can he have the chance to become a talent.”

  Old man Tong thought of his grandson, his eyes full of doting.

“Please rest assured, as long as you are willing to accept my grandson, even if you become a registered disciple first, I will tell you everything about the Longya rice seeds and planting methods.”

“But what’s the use of having dragon tooth rice? Is it possible to find a piece of spiritual land to plant it myself? This kind of thing can only be of real use in the hands of large forces. Two or three acres of it is not even enough for personal use.”

Bai Zichen clasped his fingers on the table. If he took Long Ya Rice every day, he would be able to increase his physical strength over time.

More importantly, this kind of second-grade top-grade spiritual rice, which has never appeared on the market in Montenegro, will definitely be snapped up once it comes on the market.

“You don’t know, right? Last time I went back to the sect for a meeting, the ancient headmaster said that we should take bigger steps... Allow the elders to contract the first and second level spiritual fields of Feiyue Lake, as long as the corresponding spiritual rice is turned in every year.”

 Bai Zichen has not even heard of the news revealed by Old Man Tong, so it should still be at the negotiation stage.

Thinking about it, it is very possible that even if the number of disciples of Lingzhi Hall has increased several times, the number of newly added spiritual fields in Feiyue Lake alone will not be many times that of the new disciples.

 Old Tong and the guest from the Shennong Sect, the biggest issue is the third-order spiritual field, and they only hope to achieve a real breakthrough within a few years.

Grow third-order spiritual rice and break the monopoly that every third-order spiritual rice must be purchased from Wanbao Pavilion.

The remaining Lingzhi Hall disciples have a low success rate in safely developing second-order spiritual fields, and their main goals are first-order spiritual fields.

Therefore, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the disciples, the tentative plan is that each elder can contract 500 acres of second-level spiritual land and 5,000 acres of first-level spiritual land.

 5,000 jins of second-level spiritual rice and 50,000 jins of first-level spiritual fields need to be handed in every year.

 The contracting period shall not exceed thirty years at most.

 Once the minimum level of spiritual rice required for delivery is not reached that year, the contracting elder needs to bear the difference himself.

When Bai Zichen heard this plan, it was obvious that he was trying to please the six elders in Feiyue Lake.

Except for the six of them, the other elders are thousands of miles away from each other to buy real estate. When the time comes, there will be no suitable people to keep an eye on the output of the spiritual field, so the risks will be even greater.

“Longya rice is harvested once a year. According to Old Man Tong, one acre can produce thirty kilograms of spiritual rice… This business can definitely be done.”

 With a little calculation, you can see that as long as this spiritual rice business scales up, it will be a huge profit.

“Did Senior Brother Gu say whether he would submit this contracting proposal?”

“The head of Gu said that it will be held next week, and there will be several issues to be decided by vote.”

“I am the first person to know the spiritual fields on Feiyue Lake... When the time comes to pick a connected piece for Elder Bai, I will know exactly which spiritual field is the most fertile and where the harvest is most abundant.”

 Old man Tong was uneasy. He hadn't heard the reply to his grandson's request yet, so he couldn't settle down.

“Next month, what is your grandson’s name?”

 With adequate personnel and proper operation, tens of thousands of spiritual stones may be earned in a year.

Bai Zichen is worried about not having enough spiritual stones, so he plans to form a caravan.

Someone brought me a pillow as soon as I fell asleep. How can I let it go?

"Tong Huan... According to Elder Bai, his name is Tong Huan."

 Old Tong's wish was fulfilled, and his excited voice was intermittent.

“Let’s go and see now which area of ​​spiritual land should be chosen to be the most suitable for planting Longya rice.”

Bai Zichen did what he thought of, made a white cloud with colorful patterns, and flew into the sky with Old Tong.

 In the entire Feiyue Lake water area, the spiritual fields suitable for farming are divided into three areas.

According to old man Tongtong, the cultivation of Longya rice requires very high water resources, and it needs to be watered twelve times a day.

To achieve this, one can either hire a large number of disciples to get up in the middle of the night and perform cloud-making and rain-making techniques every hour.

Either choose to be on the edge of the lake, build a special watering tool, divert water from Feiyue Lake, and automatically spray it every once in a while.

“Here, here, and here… are all suitable for planting dragon tooth rice. Elder Bai, you can recruit a group of spiritual planters first. When this news is announced, spiritual planters will become even more popular.”

 Old man Tong was high in the air, using his many years of farming experience, he reached out and pointed out a few locations.

 The target progress of Ling Zhi Tang is that not even one-third of the 8,000 acres of second-level spiritual fields have been cultivated and planted with spiritual rice.

Bai Zichen kept everything in mind silently, and will apply for the second-level spiritual land first as soon as the elders' decision to contract the spiritual land is passed.

As for the first-level spiritual field, it depends on the number of spiritual planters you have recruited during this period.

Bai Zichen sent Old Tong back and left the bag of Longya rice with him. As for the specific cultivation techniques, he would not be able to truly teach him until Tong Huan became his name.

Back at Baiyu Tower, Bai Zichen called Lu Song and Cai Heng in front of him.

"I only have one thing to tell you. In the next month, I want you to search frantically for disciples with experience as spiritual planters, and once you find them, try to recruit them into your team as much as possible."

"You can even spread the word. The one who performs best may be accepted as a registered disciple..."

If only 500 acres of second-level spiritual fields are counted, Old Man Tong will control the general direction. There is one spiritual planter for every 25 acres, and a total of twenty spiritual planters will be needed to take care of it.

There are still 5,000 acres of first-level spiritual fields. Even if one spiritual planter can take care of a hundred acres, fifty spiritual planters are needed.

 ‘No wonder Gu Xisheng wanted to introduce the system of elders contracting spiritual fields. The sect alone would not have enough power to cultivate all the land if it developed for hundreds of years. It is better to stimulate the potential of each elder and let them invest their personal efforts, so that they can enjoy a little more feedback for every acre of sect developed. ’

Bai Zichen decided that since there was really not enough manpower, he would go back and select a few people from the Bai family.

The Mozhu Bai family is famous for cultivating spiritual bamboos, but cultivating spiritual rice is also an important source of income.

 There are many children in the Bai family who are good at farming. With the Yimuqing magic in hand, the harvest of the spiritual fields they take care of is always two or three points higher than that of others.

Of course Lu Song and Lu Song did not dare to comment on the reason why Bai Zichen did this, and they immediately divided into two groups.

Cai Heng first went to the dock of Feiyue Lake. This is where the handyman disciples gather. Those who do not have fixed duties use this place as a place for communication.

 He ​​himself came from among the handyman disciples and was the best at dealing with these people. He quickly became involved with a large group of strange handyman disciples.

Lu Song went to the branch of the General Affairs Office in Feiyue Lake and issued an elder mission in the name of Bai Zichen.

Hire a first-level mid-level spiritual planter or above to work for half a year. There is no limit to the number of personnel. The reward is Elder Bai Zichen's guidance on cultivation difficulties once.

Within a few days, there was a rapid vibration on the elder token, indicating that there was an important matter that required all the elders to evaluate it.

"I have to go this time. The elder's contract for the spiritual field is probably also in this discussion. Don't let anything go wrong."

Bai Zichen sat on the colorful white clouds and wandered back to the mountain gate where he had not seen him for a long time.
