444. Farming career
Lingyu knocked on the side, and finally figured out what was going on with the "furnace ding".
In Damengze, although Luding is not a righteous path, it is not as disgusting as Ling Cang and Xingluo, and some people even specialize in Yin and Yang and Hegong in order to seek the path of dual cultivation. Normally, the party that is being supplemented suffers a little loss, but it will not become a "slag", and if it can get the owner's blue eye, it may also be given good medicine.
Therefore, some good-looking casual cultivators will also take the initiative to become the furnace of high-level monks. There are not many women who practice the way of furnace ding, and most of those who will seek furnace ding are sons of families like Xuan Gongzi.
Fang He said: "Before I came, I thought that if I was unfortunately selected to become a furnace ding, then I would not enter the Xu family." Luckily, they didn't take a fancy to me. ”
"It turns out that after they choose Lu Ding, will they sue each other?" The disgust in Lingyu's heart faded a little, although the furnace ding was disgusting, but if the party being picked up was voluntary, then outsiders had nothing to say.
Fang He shook his head: "Naturally, I will say it, but under the pressure of the family, how many people dare not agree?" Sister, don't look at me, I already have an idea, in fact, before arranging the errand, I have been beating the drum in my heart. If they are willing to be reasonable, then it is fine, but if they are not reasonable, I can't help it. ”
Lingyu paused: "What would you do if you were really chosen?" ”
Fang He's young face showed vicissitudes that did not match his age: "If they are persecuted, I don't know what I will choose." Loose cultivation women, struggling for many years, and finally going to do the furnace ding, are there still few? ”
Lingyu said with a smile: "Sister Fang's qualifications are not bad, she is resolute, and she will definitely have a good future." ”
"I hope so." Fang He stood up. Look at the endless medicine fields. "Hopefully a good harvest next month. If you can't go to Xingluo, it's not bad to have a family to rely on. ”
Lingyu began her farming career in this way.
During the day, he cleaned up the medicine field with Fang He, busy from morning to night, and often had no rest when it was dark.
Playing with elixir is not an easy task. The spiritual grass used by immortal cultivators requires hundreds of years of medicinal properties at every turn, and thousands of years are not too rare, except for those that grow naturally in the blessed land of the Cave Heaven. It is cultivated. The cultivated elixir is naturally not as good as the natural growth, but it has the advantage that it can condense the medicinal properties in a short period of time and greatly shorten the growth period.
A large medicinal field like the one they took care of was planted with the most basic spirit grass for the Qi refining period, and it would take five years of medicinal properties to use at the shortest. Although the medicine field is large, it can only be picked once in five years, which is enough for how many people? So, use fertilizer appropriately. Perform the method of gathering spirits to shorten the growth period. It is the key to cultivating elixir.
In the Qiankun bag given by the medicine field steward, there are several basic methods, which are specially used to gather spirits. Lingyu learned a more effective birth method from Cheng Xiaoyu, but she didn't see it at all.
Originally, with her cultivation, a hundred acres of medicinal fields could be easily cooked, but now she is playing a little qi refining cultivator, and doing so will arouse suspicion.
Therefore, what Fang He does, she does what she does, and always maintains a similar speed.
At night, when Fang He was cultivating, she set up prohibitions and disguises, and quietly went out the door.
The family of Damengze has six or seven yuan babies in the largest, and there is one at least in the middle, and only the monk Jiedan is in charge of the small family.
The three major families of Jackdaw Mountain are all medium-sized families, among which the Ji and Xu families have a long history, and the Yuan family has not long risen. However, the Yuan family is lucky, and now there are two Yuan Babies, if there is no accident, it can ensure the prosperity of six or seven hundred years. The Ji and Xu families are now in a quiet period, and each has a Yuan Baby. However, the Ji and Xu families have rich backgrounds and many knots, and they don't know when another Yuan Infant will come out, but the Yuan family will not dare to bully each other.
The ancestor of the Xu family, who is nearly 1,000 years old, is still in the early stage of the Yuan Infant. In order to live for a few hundred more years, he cultivated day and night, and under normal circumstances, he would not leave the Peach Blossom Peak, where the cave was located. Without Yuanying Monk, Lingyu has Cheng Xiaoyu's breathing technique in his body, what is there to fear?
However, when she came to Damengze, in addition to visiting the time opportunity mentioned by Xu Jibo, she also wanted to travel, so she was not in a hurry.
First go around the surroundings, explore the terrain of Jackdaw Mountain little by little, record it into a map, and then expand the scope to understand the layout and personnel of the Xu family.
As for the black stone given by Yuan Lixia, she played with it every day and gradually figured out its habits.
This black stone is not something that can be used if you want to. At first, she felt that the time was not working, but then she slowly figured out that Blackstone deduced that the future needed an energy similar to that of Reiki. If it is used too often, the Blackstone energy will be depleted and it will no longer be able to be used in the short term.
Discovering this, Lingyu couldn't help but sigh that Yuan Lixia was able to predict the crisis that day, it was really shit luck. If he hadn't used the Black Stone at that time, their family would have been brought back to the Yuan family.
In fact, the reason why Yuan Lixia used the black stone that night was because Yuan Ruolan brought the spirit jade home during the day, which made him feel uneasy.
In short, this black stone is not as useful as she originally thought, but at a critical moment, if used properly, it may be able to save a life for nothing.
"Sister Cheng, let's eat." Fang He's shout came from outside.
Lingyu put away the black stone and walked out of the wooden house.
She was too lazy to cook by herself, so she simply bribed Fang He with a book of Dalu exercises and asked her to help her cook. That exercise is only in the Qi refining period, and its value is not high, but for Monk Damengze, it is still very rare to obtain - if you refer to a few more exercises, you may be able to realize something.
As the sun set, a piece of golden glow was sprinkled, Lingyu and Fang He had eaten, sitting on the grass in front of the house and looking at the lush medicinal fields under the sunset.
Lingyu felt that she and Fang He were like old farmers who had been working all year round at the moment, looking at their fields, hoping for a good harvest in the coming year.
"Tomorrow it's time to perform the Dead Wood Spring Trick again." Fang He sighed and said, "I'm going to be busy until midnight again." ”
The Dead Wood Spring Recipe is the set of methods for maintaining the elixir, which is performed once every three days. Fang He is not proficient in using it, and after all the application of a hundred acres of medicinal fields, one day is not enough.
"It's better than them mining, and the other two days we're a little bit free, and they're so busy every day." Lingyu paused, and then said, "We're lucky, Jiang Daoyou, who is in charge of the medicine field over there, said, fortunately, we weren't assigned to them." ”
Why is that? Isn't it easy to grow medicine over there? ”
"That's not it, their medicine field is fatter than here, and the problem lies with the medicine field manager." Lingyu approached her and said in a low voice, "The medicine field manager over there is quite a good woman, and the female cultivator will be harassed from time to time over there. ”
"Ahh Fang He snorted, "What about our steward?" ”
"Steward Shi has a short temper and is quite harsh, but his personal morality is fine, and he doesn't care about women."
Thinking of the disgusted eyes that steward Shi looked at them that day, Fang He breathed a sigh of relief. It's not afraid to be harsh, that is, to earn one or two spirit stones less, and even to plant medicinal fields will be harassed by the steward, and that day is really unbearable.
Fang He turned his head to look at Lingyu, and the setting sun sprinkled down, casting a faint light and shadow on her face. Fang He was amazed for a moment, and then confusion appeared in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Lingyu asked with a smile.
Fang He propped his chin and looked confused, but finally shook his head: "It's nothing." "It's a delusion, isn't it? Looking closely, this Sister Cheng's appearance is very ordinary.
Time flew by, and the month had arrived.
The elixir in the medicine field is staggered. The elixir that requires five years of medicinal properties is compressed into one year during the growth period, and then the maturity period is staggered to ensure that there is a considerable amount of elixir to harvest every month.
Lingyu picked the ripe herbs and returned to the wooden house with the medicine sachet.
Fang He got up earlier than her, and had already finished collecting the medicine and sat there picking it up.
Seeing her coming, he called, "Sister Cheng, how is the harvest?" ”
Lingyu glanced at the elixir on the ground and replied, "Generally, you may need to subsidize a little." ”
Fang He sighed: "It's good to be like this for the first month." Jiang Daoyou, who is next to us, lost six spirit stones in the first month! ”
Lingyu was like her, spreading out the elixir and tidying it up: "Let's get it done quickly and send it to Steward Shi." ”
The two of them moved quickly and quickly sorted and bundled up. Fang He counted and said with a smile: "Good luck, it should be enough to make up two spirit stones." "I heard Jiang Daoyou next to him say that most people have to pay five or six spirit stones for the first time.
Lingyu smiled slightly and didn't say anything. Fang He didn't know that the reason why he was able to harvest so much was because when Lingyu cast the Gathering Spirit Birth Spell, her medicine field was next to her and was affected.
After a month of getting along, in Lingyu's opinion, Fang He is really a good girl. She has a gentle temperament, no ambitions, and is not decisive enough, so I am afraid that she will not achieve much. But she never complains about fate, works hard, works silently, and will not delusionally reach the sky in one step.
Since she decided to take advantage of her, Lingyu didn't mind helping her.
The two of them carried the medicine bag on their backs and went to Steward Shi to hand in the elixir.
Steward Shi opened their medicine sacs, picked them up, and threw them directly into the wooden barrel next to them.
Lingyu knew that eighty percent of these elixirs would be detained by him.
However, they are not qualified to say anything, whether the elixir is qualified or not, the steward has the final say, and he says no, that is, no.
After sorting out, Steward Shi counted the points, and he was quite surprised, he looked up at them and said, "You don't have enough elixirs, you need to make up for the spirit stones." ”
Fang He glanced at the wooden barrel and swallowed his anger: "Yes, may I ask the steward, how many spirit stones do you need to pay?" ”
"One of you is four, and one is three." Steward Shi said.
The two of them were silent, and took out the spirit stone from the monthly example they had just gotten and handed it to Steward Shi.
Steward Shi nodded with satisfaction: "You have good talents, and you are officially in charge of those two medicine fields." Attentive service, you know? ”
"Yes." was reprimanded by Steward Shi, and the two walked back.
Fang He touched the spirit stone bag, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "I have clearly calculated, as long as I hand over two spirit stones, but it is twice as much." Six spirit stones a month is not much better than casual cultivation......"
Lingyu said in his heart, compared to Da Mengze, Xingluohai is really a paradise, and the qi refining cultivators earn several times more spirit stones, and they don't need such heavy labor. (To be continued......)
