Chapter 24: The master is not there

Planting spiritual fields is not only a technical job, but also a personal work, and it is not as easy and freehand as people think.

In order for the spirit plant to thrive, it is necessary to have the spirit plant disciples to rain on them, loosen the soil, weed, kill insects and cure diseases, prune and prune leaves every day.

There are 3,600 acres of spiritual fields in Xinyan Lingyuan, and there are as many as 361 varieties of spiritual plants, so it is definitely not an easy job to manage so many spiritual plants.

What's more, Wenxiu also planted a lot of delicate varieties in the Lingtian, such as femme fatale, Tianpan sunflower, golden phoenix feather, green nettle, black moon lotus and turtle seed.

In order to take care of these spiritual plants, Wenxiu and Huzi worked in the spiritual fields every day, repeating the work of applying rain, loosening the soil, weeding, killing insects and curing diseases, and pruning and pruning leaves. Even Xin Yan, in addition to the time spent cultivating and refining talismans, also threw himself on the spiritual field for the rest of the time.

However, the rewards of crazy work are also amazing.

Under the careful care of Xin Yan and Wenxiu's siblings, all the spiritual plants, including the femme fatale, Tianpan sunflower, golden phoenix feather, green nettle, black moon lotus and earth turtle, all grew extremely well, and the 3,600 acres of spiritual fields were full of colorful spiritual plants, which together formed a beautiful pattern.

In Xin Yan's eyes, this picture scroll on the ground is not only beautiful, but also represents wealth.

Thinking about the wealth that these spiritual plants will gain when they are harvested, Xin Yan will be so excited that his blood will boil.

According to the most conservative estimates, the output of sixty acres of Tianpan sunflowers in the Lingtian alone will bring more than 12,000 high-grade spirit stones to the Lingyuan, and the income per mu will break through the 200 high-grade spirit stones, which will create a new record for the sect's income per mu of Lingtian.

In addition to the Tianpan Sunflower, the Golden Phoenix Feather, the Green Nettle, the Black Moon Lotus, the Green Nettle and the Earth Turtle will also bring him a lot of profits, according to his estimates, in a year, the spirit plants in the Spirit Plant Great Array can create at least 200,000 spirit stones, deducting the cost, it is enough to hand over the rent to the sect.

In addition to these long-term benefits, Wenxiu also planted a lot of spiritual plants that could be harvested in the short term.

After more than ten days of cultivation, the ghost cut grass and the Tianxing grass have grown, and the jade spirit berries and other crops can be harvested after a while.

Spiritual grasses such as Ghost Cutting Grass and Heavenly Star Grass have limited sales in Tianbei City, and they can't afford to sell at a price, so they have to be used as rations for green cattle, while Jade Spirit Berries are the most sought-after spiritual plants, and they must be able to sell them at a good price in a place like Seven Star City, where materials are scarce.

As the Spirit Plant Great Array became more and more stable, the effect of the Great Array's gathering of spiritual power became more obvious, especially in the center of the Great Array, the intensity of spiritual power was even better than where there were spiritual veins, and he felt that the rich spiritual energy was almost seeping into his skin.

Xin Yan, Wen Xiu, and Huzi were busy in the field in the dark, when suddenly a messenger flew in front of him.

He opened it and saw that it was Miao Jinqing, the owner of the neighboring Heishui Spirit Garden, who came to visit. The Miao family of Heishui Lingyuan has been operating Lingyuan for generations, and Miao Jinqing's cultivation has reached the late stage of condensation, he is fair, and he is quite famous in the Shuinan Lingyuan world.

Xin Yan knew that it must have been too much movement when he arranged the big array, which alarmed the neighbors.

He planned to meet this Miao Yuan master and take the opportunity to explain it to him, otherwise, people might think that he had a strange treasure here, and it would be a big trouble.

He had a certain idea, and he was ready to go to meet him. Before leaving the door, he dressed up and looked in the mirror, only to see that the gray robe on his body was dirty and wrinkled, the hem was burned by the ground fire with several large holes, and his hair was dirty and messy, like a flower child.

Thinking that it would be rude to go out to meet people like this, he decided to change into that green robe and freshen up a little before seeing people.

As soon as the brand-new green robe was put on, he felt that he had suddenly changed into a different person, becoming heroic and radiant.

In a good mood, he strode out of the Lingyuan to greet the guests.

After a while, a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old came in front of her, her eyes were big and bright, and she was very pure and beautiful.

Xin Yan's eyes were straight, he didn't expect that there would be such a good-looking little Lori in this barren place.

"Hey, black boy, where is your master!" Xiao Lori looked at Xin Yan with an obsessive face, with a little dissatisfaction in her tone, but there was a bit of smugness in her eyes.

"Master?" Xin Yan looked confused, he had never had a master.

It seems that the next time I go out, I can't wear it so beautifully. Little Lori's eyes showed a little sympathy, and she kindly reminded: "We are here to visit your master, why didn't he come out?"

Xin Yan reacted at this time, the little girl must have seen that his cultivation was very low, and regarded him as a boy who guarded the door. He decided to make a mistake and transform himself into a boy under the seat of "Master". Because in this way, when he encounters a question that he doesn't want to answer, he can push it on the master who doesn't actually exist.

He rolled his eyes, and quickly thought of his words: "Alas, it's really unfortunate that you have come, the master and his old man have returned to the sect early in the morning." ”

"Hmph! I was still setting up the formation last night, and I left early in the morning? How could there be such a coincidence?" Little Lori didn't believe Xin Yan's nonsense at all.

"Lan'er must not be rude!" A middle-aged man suddenly walked out, he bowed his hand to Xin Yan, and said with a smile: "The little girl lacks discipline, she has offended a lot, please forgive me!"

Xin Yan hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Miao Yuan is good, the family teacher is indeed going out for something, please forgive me!"

Miao Jinqing said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry! My Heishui Lingyuan has been friends with your faction for generations, and I have also had very close contacts with the previous owners of your garden. ”

"Master Miao Yuan is too polite!" Xin Yan knew that Miao Jinqing would not come early or late, but he came at this time, and he came for the matter of Lingyuan's formation last night, but since the other party did not break it, he was happy to pretend to be confused.

As Xin Yan expected, Miao Jinqing finally couldn't help but ask: "A few days ago, the sky was very different, it seemed that Guilingyuan was arranging a big array, does the little brother know what kind of array it is?"

Xin Yan pretended to be embarrassed and said: "A few days ago, the family master was indeed arranging the formation, but he was instructed by the old man not to let me show off in front of others, so I also asked the master of Miao Yuan to forgive me." ”

Miao Jinqing didn't expect Xin Yan's tone to be so tight, he knew that he couldn't ask for any news no matter how much he asked, so he had to leave: "Since the lord of your garden is not here, we won't bother anymore, and ask the little brother to greet Master Ling on our behalf." As he spoke, he handed over a spirit beast bag to Xin Yan and said, "The first time we meet, it's just a small courtesy, and please smile." ”

Xin Yan took a look and found that it was actually a fat black spirit carp.

It is said that after nine metamorphoses, the spirit carp ascended to heaven and became a dragon.

However, this is only limited to legends, no one has ever witnessed such a miracle, in fact, anyone who can cultivate the spirit carp to the fifth grade or more is enough to be recorded in the history of Xiuzhen.

However, the spirit carp is docile and well-behaved, lively and clever, and symbolizes the good wishes of a fish turning into a dragon, which is one of the most popular spiritual pets and the most common gift for the first visit among cultivators.

"Congratulations to the master of Miao Yuan!" After Xin Yan sent Miao Jinqing away, he returned to Lingyuan.

He looked at the fat black spirit carp, and his saliva was about to flow out.

These days, he has never left the Lingyuan for half a step, he eats vegetarian every day, and his face is green after eating, and now when he sees such a fat black spirit carp, his first thought is to slaughter it and eat it!

The black spirit carp looked at Xin Yan's green eyes, and was so frightened that it hid in the corner of the spirit beast bag, beating restlessly, but unfortunately the space in the spirit beast bag was limited, and no matter how hard it struggled, it could not escape Xin Yan's black hand.

Just when Xin Yan was thinking about whether to braise or stew, suddenly, a green shadow flashed in front of him, Xin Yan only felt a pain in his hand, and the black spirit carp flew into the air, and before he could react, the black spirit carp had turned into a black light and jumped into the spiritual pond in the courtyard.

Xin Yan looked at it, and it turned out that it was Qingniu's guy who took advantage of his unpreparedness and attacked him.

The green bull also jumped off the spirit pond and played crazy with the black spirit carp, completely ignoring Xin Yan, who was thundering.

"You foodie, brother won't forgive you!" Xin Yan's angry cry rang out in the Spirit Garden.

Since Miao Jinqing's visit, the owners of the nearby Lingyuan have also visited, and Xin Yan has blocked everyone from the gate on the grounds that the master is not there or is in retreat. This made the owners of the nearby Lingyuan very dissatisfied, and they talked about it behind their backs, saying that Xin Yan's master was too big and didn't even let the door in, and he didn't take his fellow Daoists in his eyes.

What made the garden owners feel most angry was that Xin Yan's master didn't show up to receive him, and he didn't even pay a courtesy gesture like a return visit.

"Master, your old man doesn't show up, and your fellow Taoists have opinions!" Seeing off a guest who came to visit again, Xin Yan twisted his body and sang a ballad in a strange voice.

Xin Yan knew that it was very rude to treat his colleagues like this, but he couldn't help it. No matter how powerful he is, it is impossible for him to conjure up a master out of thin air and come out to receive the owners, let alone pay a return visit. What's more, that's what he wants. Shuinan Lingyuan is far away from the sect, and he is lonely and weak, so he is easily bullied by others. He desperately needs a "powerful and mysterious master" to help him calm the scene and deter those with bad intentions.

In order to enhance the sense of existence of the "master", when receiving fellow believers, he always took the pie to the fullest, no matter who it was, he would block the door to meet him, if someone asked about his master's situation, he would not disclose any information on the grounds that "the master does not let the disciples show off in front of others".

In this way, it greatly increases the mystery of Xin Yan's "master". People have speculated that Xin Yan's master is very likely to be a master of condensation, and because he lost the competition of the sect, he was assigned to Shuinan Lingyuan. For a while, no one dared to come to Shuinan Lingyuan for trouble, and Xin Yan was very satisfied with this. He's so busy right now that he doesn't have time to deal with the chores outside.
