Chapter 130: The Role of the Gourd

Early in the morning, Chen Jing came to the planting area with pine cones and cocoons.

As Chen Jing and the two little beasts stepped on the ridges, many small birds fluttered up from the nearby terraces and fell into the terraced fields farther away.

The little white fox went to catch insects in the first terraced square, Chen Jing didn't go around to make rounds, and today he was going to repair the ridges of the new terraced fields with Songguo.

He and the little green linmon came to the sixth terraced square next to it, where the sixth-story terraced fields had been cultivated, and today the ridge was built for the seventh-layer terraced fields.

Chen Jing and Songguo had repaired many ridges, and they were already very proficient, so he took out the gravel from the storage bag and began to build a three- or four-foot-wide ridge five zhang away from the terraced fields above.

These gravel were dug up by Liu Feier when he dug a ring of pools, and they were waste materials other than stone bricks, which were just used to repair the ridges.

Chen Jing and Songguo used their mana to roll up the stone powder and fill the gaps between the gravel, and then the little Qinglin beast spewed out a mouthful of yellow glow, and the stone powder turned into stone, gluing the gravel and the ground into one.

Constantly gluing the gravel, Chen Jing and Songguo gradually built a ridge fifty zhang long, more than one zhang high, three or four feet wide, and then built the ridges at both ends of the terrace.

Chen Jingyi waved his sleeves and released two cyan flying swords, and the two blue lights flew towards the two ends of the ridge separately, flattening the top of the ridge all the way.

In this way, the ridge of the seventh layer of terraces was repaired, and under the ridge, Chen Jing also left some pores, which could seep out the excess water.

After the ridges were repaired, the next step was to turn some of the stones in the terraces into stone powder, which previously required five feet of stone powder at the bottom of the terraces.

The upper layer of the terraced fields is made of 1 foot thick ordinary soil, the middle layer is 2 feet thick of ordinary soil mixed with stone powder, and the lower layer is 4 feet thick stone powder.

Now with the thick soil gourd, the speed of transporting soil is seven or eight times faster, which can increase the proportion of ordinary soil in the terraces and reduce the proportion of stone powder.

In this way, the pine cone only needs to turn two feet of stone powder into the bottom of the terraces, and the speed of reclamation of the terraces will be much faster.

"Pinecone, now to reclaim the terraces, only two feet of deep stone powder is enough."

Chen Jing said to the little Qinglin Beast, stretching out his hand and comparing it to a depth of two feet.

The pine cone understood, it opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of yellow glow at the ground, and the stones on the ground turned into stone powder in the glow, and then raised its head to look at Chen Jing.

Chen Jing sensed it with his divine thoughts, and the stone powder was about two feet deep. He patted the pine cone on the head and said:

"Yes, that's it! It's okay to have such a deep stone powder. ”

Chen Jing estimated that in the past, only seven or eight terraced fields could be reclaimed in a year, but now with thick soil gourds, after changing the soil ratio of the terraces, at least two terraced fields can be built in a year, that is, eighteen terraced fields.

Thick soil gourd is a more common type of heavenly gourd, and more thick soil gourd will be planted in the future, and the speed of building terraces will be faster, and the pine cone may only need to level the bottom of the terrace at that time.

The thick earth gourd, which seemed to be useless, was very important to Lingyan Mountain and Chen Jing's grand plans. There are many types of Heavenly Illusion Gourd with unique functions, and their seemingly useless abilities can play a huge role if they are used in the right place.

Chen Jing didn't think of this when he bought the Heavenly Illusion Gourd seeds, he decided to wait for the cultivation scale of the gourd to be large in the future, so he left at least one of each Heavenly Illusion Gourd, refined it into a magic weapon, and tried the specific use.

It's like a thick soil gourd, if you haven't used it, you don't know that it can hold so much soil, and it's very convenient to absorb and dump soil.

After repairing the ridge, Chen Jing went to inspect the first terraced square, where a large number of spiritual grasses were planted, which needed to be taken care of from time to time, and now the spiritual grass has been growing for six or seven years, and it will mature one after another in the next two years.

In the first and second terraces, there are several spiritual grasses, such as Stone Scale Grass, Returning Yang Grass, Seven Star Grass, Dragon Whisker Grass, and Water Fire Lily, which have been growing for nearly seven years and will be harvested next year.

During the seedling period of these spirit grasses, Chen Jing has used them many times Wanmu Chaochun Jue, so the foundation is deep, and he often uses a Wanmu Chaochun Jue for the Lingcao when he inspects, so their growth rate is relatively fast, it originally takes about ten years to mature, and now look at the next year, that is, after eight years of growth, these spiritual grasses in the terraces will mature.

After looking at the upper two layers of terraced fields, Chen Jing walked downward, looked at the growth of purple jade fruit trees in the middle, and then went to the lower five layers of terraced fields, which were full of stone scale grass.

The branches and leaves of the stone scale grass are blue-white, a bit like the color of bluestone, and there are a series of blue-white circles distributed in the five layers of emerald green terraces, and one circle is an ice glass cover planted with stone scale grass.

There were more than 10,000 stone scale grass here at the beginning, and after six years of growth, hundreds of plants were lost due to various reasons, and now there are less than 10,000 plants, and these stone scale grass is estimated to mature in the next year, and after harvesting, at least 90,000 spirit stones can be sold.

After checking the spirit grass, Chen Jing went to look at the spirit flowers and plants that were temporarily transplanted from the courtyard to the terraces, with the thick soil gourd, the hanging garden is estimated to be built this year, and these spirit plants will be transplanted over there when the time comes.

Today I spent some time repairing the ridges, and the rest of the terraces are not seen, these terraces are planted with spirit trees, and you can see them once in ten days and half a month.

Chen Jing left the planting area and returned to Dongfu.

In the afternoon, on the second floor of the pavilion, Chen Jing was reading the "Five Elements and Eight Arrays" on the recliner, he had been studying the Five Elements Lost Trace Array for a long time, and recently he felt that he had read it through, and there were still some problems that needed to be solved when he started to lay out the formation, and now he could start trying to lay out the Five Elements Lost Trace Array.

On the floor next to Chen Jing, Tan Bai was fiddling with a small pale yellow gourd, the little white fox had always been very curious about this mirage gourd, and Tan Bai's magical powers did have something in common with the ability of this little gourd, so Chen Jing allowed the little white fox to play with the mirage gourd every afternoon.

This gourd is still very useful now, you can't give it to the white gourd, if you harvest the mirage gourd in the future, you can give one to the little white fox.

The voices of the little beasts outside the pavilion came from far and near, and a moment later there was a crackling sound on the stairs, Mango and Xiao Lei rushed up, and Songguo then went up to the second floor.

"Meow!"

"Chirp!"

Mango and Xiao Lei went upstairs, and at a glance they saw the little gourd playing with the white on the ground, and immediately ran over.

"Chirp!"

The little white fox hurriedly protected the mirage gourd.

The kitten and the chick were just about to squeeze up, but they were blocked by a mana, and the pine cone came over and stood next to the cocoon, and it was it that used its mana to block the mango and the little thunder.

"Chirp."

There are pine cones to maintain order, and Tanbai let go of his body, so that Mango and Xiaolei can also see the gourd, but they can only look at it and not touch it.
