Pick up the treasure bag and start cultivating immortals from the shrinking lamp

Bamboo house.

In front of Xia Chen, there were more than a dozen observation insect boxes, most of which were empty, which meant that the set locusts had died.

The remaining four boxes were pitch black, and even the locusts could not be seen clearly.

It seemed to be related to the environment they were in.

These were all first-level middle-grade red gold locusts, and they survived by chance probably because of their strong strength.

Three days ago, Li Muqing, the elder of Sinong Hall, and the mysterious spiritual insect master had a battle, and each won and lost.

The locust swarm that ravaged tens of thousands of acres of spiritual fields was finally wiped out in one fell swoop, and the remaining scattered soldiers and guerrillas were not a big deal.

But the spiritual insect master also successfully escaped from the hands of the elder of Sinong Hall and disappeared.

Xia Chen put away the extra observation insect boxes, and gave the rest to Zhuma to take care of, and notify him if there was any movement.

He himself moved baskets of spiritual rice from the back house to the front yard.

Today is the day to hand in spiritual rice to the sect.

Two hours later, a cultivator came riding a cow.

The person who came was Yue Qing, the deacon disciple of Sinong Hall.

"Hello, Senior Brother Yue!"

Xia Chen smiled and walked forward to greet him.

Yue Qing jumped off the big blue ox, holding a storage bag in his hand, and nodded: "I heard from other spiritual farmers that the Xuzi shantytown will have a bumper harvest this year. You have contributed a lot!"

"This is just good luck!" Xia Chen smiled.

Yue Qing grabbed a handful of golden pearl rice from the basket as usual, rubbed off the skin, and said with some surprise: "This year's golden pearl rice is round and full, with a bright color and rich spiritual energy. It can be regarded as top-grade!"

Thinking back to last year, the golden pearl rice planted by Xia Chen was dull in color, and many rice grains were dry and flat, with low quality.

In the end, he gave a bag of broken spiritual stones privately, and Yue Qing reluctantly changed it to medium and low and collected the rent.

Otherwise, Xia Chen would have to bear the debt of two thousand kilograms of spiritual rice. If he couldn't pay it back next year, he would be sent to mine.

"This is the rent of Madam Xu Yin. Madam Xu gave me 30 mu of spiritual farmland to take care of, so I paid the rent to the sect on her behalf!"

Xia Chen brought a basket of jade spirit rice over.

Yue Qing grabbed a handful and checked it as usual, chewing a few peeled spiritual grains in his mouth.

Then he said in surprise: "This jade spirit rice is as good as the golden pearl rice. It can be considered top-grade. It seems that Junior Brother Xia has a sudden realization in planting. He may become a spiritual plant master in the future!"

"This is mainly because the rice seeds given by Senior Brother are of good quality!" Xia Chen said modestly.

Yue Qing continued, "According to the regulations between employers and tenants in Sinong Hall, the quality of rice in the spiritual field is borne by the tenants, so the credit for the thirty acres of spiritual field is on you!"

Then, a passage was recorded in the "Cuiwei Mountain Spiritual Field Book": Xia Chen, in the 573rd year of the Great Jin Dynasty, handed over 2,000 kilograms of high-quality golden pearl rice, and later became a tenant, and handed over 6,000 kilograms of high-quality jade spiritual rice, a total of 20 contribution points.

These 20 contribution points can be exchanged for spiritual seeds, exercises, spells, and planting tools in Sinong Hall.

The only thing that cannot be exchanged for spiritual stones.

"Thank you, senior brother!" Xia Chen bowed.

He also knew that according to this decree of Sinong Hall, the tenants who planted well would get contribution points, but the employers would not get them, and the employers would also have to bear the rent of the sect.

In this way, the employers' risks increased, the benefits decreased, and the tenants' rights and interests were improved.

This is also the sect's way of cracking down on the behavior of spiritual farmers renting out their spiritual fields to others.

Otherwise, there will be a large number of "landlords" in the six immortal mountains and so many shanty towns.

It must be said that the elders of the Sinong Hall who made this law were very far-sighted.

Yue Qing weighed the spiritual grains on the ground one by one, and then put them into the storage bag.

After doing all this, he was about to leave, but was pulled by Xia Chen: "It's almost noon, Senior Brother Yue, why don't you come to my humble home for lunch? Junior Brother is ready and waiting for you to come!"

Yue Qing refused a few times, but couldn't resist the enthusiasm, so he had to follow into the bamboo house.

There were several delicacies made of spiritual fish on the table, and a large pot of spiritual cakes.

"Junior Brother Xia's table of food is unique!"

Yue Qing smiled, and didn't say anything polite, then grabbed a piece of red date spiritual rice cake and started eating.

Xia Chen also took out a pot of spiritual wine and poured a cup for Yue Qing, saying: "In addition to farming, my only hobby is fishing. Fortunately, I am lucky and can always catch some spiritual fish from time to time!"

After eating and drinking.

Yue Qing said seriously: "Junior brother, the sect is reclaiming wasteland in the Ten Thousand Mountains. You have a good talent for planting. This year, you can plant 40 acres of high-quality spiritual fields. If you are interested, I can apply to the elders of the Sinong Hall to let you plant high-quality spiritual fields there!"

"High-quality spiritual fields!"

Xia Chen's heart moved.

It is said that the middle-quality spiritual fields can withstand two crops a year, but after the summer harvest, only some scattered spiritual vegetables and spiritual grass can be planted.

But the high-quality spiritual fields are different. It can really make jade spiritual rice like two crops a year!

And the rent for the second crop is different from the first crop.

The second crop only requires 150 catties of spiritual grains per mu, which is 50 catties less than the first crop.

However, although the high-quality spiritual fields are tempting, after all, they are on the other side of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and there are still many potential risks.

After thinking for a while, Xia Chen shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother! But my cultivation is low, I am only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. If I rashly go to the Ten Thousand Mountains, I am afraid it will be inappropriate."

Yue Qing nodded and said, "You are right. It will not be too late to consider this matter when you reach the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining!"

"I will trouble you then, Senior Brother!"

Xia Chen smiled and bowed, and gave a basket of bamboo cakes when he left.

In addition to the rent of the sect, he also needs to pay rent to Madam Xu.

According to the agreement, Xia Chen, the tenant farmer, needs to pay Madam Xu, the employer, 40 kilograms of rent per mu.

If there is insect pests or something like that, the rent can be reduced.

To be honest, this lease is quite conscientious.

This year's harvest was good, and the yield of Yuling rice per mu reached 360 kilograms. Xia Chen also received 20 contribution points from the Sinong Palace for these 30 mu of spiritual fields.

So he planned to give Madam Xu 1,500 kilograms of millet, which is equivalent to 50 kilograms of rent per mu.

After preparing everything, Xia Chen took out a prop from the treasure bag, a small three-wheeled aircraft, but with two wheels in the front and one wheel in the back, and even handrails and pedals.

This is the flying prop I drew before, a three-wheeled aircraft, F-level.

The operation is very simple, just step on the pedal and you can fly.

As for the flying speed, it depends entirely on the speed of your pedals.

Previously, we traveled around shanty towns, so there was no problem using mini planes.

However, Qixia Fairy Town is hundreds of miles away, and there is no guarantee that we will not encounter some powerful monks on the road. If we are discovered, it will be a big deal.

The appearance of the tricycle is similar to the flying magic tool such as the bamboo bird, and it will not arouse suspicion when it is driven out.

At this moment, Xia Chen entered the cockpit of the tricycle and stepped on the pedal. The tricycle immediately flew up.
