Chapter 6 Chalcedony Rice
The sun had not yet set, and Zhang Zhixuan had already come to the edge of Lushan County.
The Zhang family's spiritual field is not on the mountain, but next to a spiritual well ten miles southeast of Lushan County.
This spiritual well appeared three hundred years ago, and overnight, an ordinary well emitted a trickle of spiritual energy.
Although the Zhang family monk went deep into the well several times to see if there were any spiritual objects, but unfortunately they found nothing, and the Zhang family monk had an additional spiritual well.
Especially in the last hundred years, the spiritual energy in this spiritual well has become more and more sufficient, relying on this spiritual well to slowly irrigate, the Zhangjia monks have opened up thirty acres of spiritual fields in a hundred years.
Lingtian is not an ordinary field, its soil contains spiritual energy, which can cultivate all kinds of spiritual grasses and elixirs, and for each immortal cultivation family and sect, this is the most precious asset in addition to spiritual veins.
He opened the communication jade talisman and informed the seventh uncle, Zhang Mengyuan, who was guarding here.
Zhang Mengyuan is already sixty-eight years old, cultivating qi at the eighth level, his spiritual root qualifications are not very good, and now he is old, his qi and blood have begun to weaken, unless he takes some precious elixir, it is estimated that his cultivation will not increase much.
At Zhang Mengyuan's age, he will gradually take a back seat in the family, and in more than ten years, he will return to the mountain to retire and begin to educate the next generation of monks.
Waves came from the mist, and three or four brick houses suddenly appeared in the mist.
An old farmer dressed like fifty or sixty years old pushed open the door, took a closer look at Zhang Zhixuan and said, "Who is going to replace the old man, it turns out to be Zhixuanxian's nephew."
I remember that my nephew seems to be underage, so it shouldn't be time to contribute to the family! ”
"Uncle Nineteen said that the family was short of manpower, so he had to send his little nephew down the mountain in advance." Zhang Zhixuan arched his hand and said respectfully.
"The virtuous nephew doesn't have to be polite, since the virtuous nephew has been able to go down the mountain, it is already quite extraordinary to come to cultivate?" Zhang Mengyuan waved his hand disappreciably and said.
Zhang Zhixuan took a closer look at his seventh uncle and found that Zhang Mengyuan was almost unkempt, and his personality was a little arrogant.
"My nephew broke through another level a few days ago, and he has already practiced the sixth layer of qi." Zhang Zhixuan replied.
"Compared with the old man, the virtuous nephew is really the dragon and phoenix among people.
At your age, the old man has just broken through the innate eighth layer, and in the second year after going down the mountain, his cultivation has only entered the qi cultivation period.
Then for more than ten years, he went around in the shop of the family market, and then returned to the mountain gate to practice penance for five or six years before entering the fourth layer of Qi training, and at the age of fifty-one, he was able to cultivate to be comparable to his virtuous nephew. Zhang Mengyuan looked at Zhang Zhixuan enviously and said with a long sigh.
Among the four generations of monks Zhang Jiale, Meng, Zhi, and Si, the Lezi generation has long been old, and only the patriarch has cultivated to the foundation building period.
There are dozens of monks in the three generations of Meng, Zhi, and Si, only Zhang Mengling is a Second Spirit Root Monk, and the rest is Zhang Zhixuan, whose cultivation speed can be comparable to that of a Second Spirit Root Monk.
The population of the Zhang family is more than thirty or forty thousand, but there are only more than a hundred people who can cultivate with spiritual roots, including seven foreign monks who have entered and surrendered.
Although the rules of the Zhang family are relatively tolerant and can treat the scattered cultivation of the family equally, only a few monks will give up their ancestors to join the family.
These monks who have become rich are also old guys who have poor spiritual roots and are over forty or fifty years old, and basically they can't bring much help to the family.
On the contrary, it is their descendants, because their ancestors have spiritual roots, and the probability of having spiritual roots in their bodies is more than ten times greater than that of ordinary mortals, and they are often able to completely integrate into the Zhang family.
There are tens of thousands of people in the family, and there are immortal cultivators in the mixed period, and sometimes the monks of the same age may have been separated by more than ten generations.
Therefore, the monks of the family do not judge by mortal generation.
Instead, it relies on Taichu Le Meng, Zhi Si Tongyuan, and Guangsheng Zemao are arranged one after another.
Unless they are close relatives of the lineage, they will follow the generation of their parents.
For example, Zhang Zhixuan, his father is a monk of the Mengzi generation, and he is the son of his father's in-laws, so he is naturally a monk of the Zhizi generation.
And generally according to his age, he is already a monk of the Sizi generation.
It is said that seven or eight years ago, the monks of the Zhizi generation produced a seedling with extraordinary spiritual roots, but unfortunately they were plotted by the enemy.
Anyway, in the last seven or eight years, this person seems to have disappeared.
At that time, the matter was in an uproar, and the patriarch Zhang Leqian also severely punished the clansmen who leaked secrets, and used a flying sword to cut off the heads of two clan monks who leaked secrets, which were used to strictly enforce clan rules.
Zhang Zhixuan came to the Lingjing, only to see that dozens of acres of fields were scattered near the Lingjing, most of which had already been harvested, and only the most important thirty acres were shrouded in mist.
Zhang Mengyuan introduced Zhang Zhixuan into the gate, pointed to the mist beside him and said, "There is a second-order high-grade formation small maze array here, relying on these mist to guard the most important thirty acres of spiritual field.
This is the law of manipulating the formation, you have to memorize it carefully, at most ten days, and when these acres of yellow bud grass are harvested, I will be ready to go back to the mountain. Zhang Mengyuan took out a book from his arms, handed it to Zhang Zhixuan and said.
Among the 30 acres of spiritual fields in the Zhang family, three acres of spiritual fields have been cultivated for many years, and they are already second-order medium-grade spiritual fields, and three acres of yellow bud grass are planted in them, which are the main raw materials for refining second-order middle-grade golden bud pills.
The Yellow Bud Grass only matures every five years, and when the Yellow Bud Grass matures, Zhang Mengquan, the alchemist of the Zhang family, will come here to refine the Golden Bud Pill on a large scale.
The remaining one acre of eight-point spiritual field is better cultivated, and it is already a second-order high-grade spiritual field.
There are dozens of various elixirs planted inside, and it looks full of inspiration.
Of these dozen or so elixirs, the oldest has been more than three hundred years.
That three-hundred-year-old white jade ginseng was already considered a fourth-order low-grade elixir, and the price was at least more than 1,500 spirit stones.
The remaining twenty-five acres of spiritual fields are all low-grade first-order spiritual fields, and they are also planted with ordinary chalcedony rice.
This kind of rice is also a first-order low-grade spiritual grass, which can strengthen the internal breath and assist the cultivation of innate cultivators.
It can nourish the body, and even monks in the foundation period who cannot open the grain will often use this rice to accompany their meals.
This kind of rice takes nine months to mature, and the yield per mu is only less than 200 catties, which can only barely be used by the Zhang family monks themselves.
After Zhang Zhixuan just started to cultivate, the family could only supply one or two chalcedony rice every day, and after breaking through the congenital, it became three taels, and after entering the middle stage of Qi training, there were only five taels of chalcedony rice every day, which was just less than a small bowl.
This kind of rice is as big as a broad bean, the grains are full, like white chalcedony, and it also contains a trace of aura, as long as ordinary warriors eat a small bowl, they will not feel hungry for three or four days in a row.
Going down the mountain to guard the spiritual field, the task is generally five years, like Zhang Zhixuan, a little genius whose treatment is equivalent to the second spiritual root, can complete the task of guarding the spiritual field once, and he can practice freely on the mountain gate for five years.
