Chapter 81: Brother Gua
In the next few days, Hua Ying continued to be busy planting spirit melons, and after her simple adjustments, the spirit melons can basically mature in two days, and at least fifteen rounds of spirit melons can be harvested in a month.
However, she did not increase the production of spirit melons, and the number of monks in the market who had the money to consume spirit melons was limited, and expanding the cultivation area of spirit melons could not bring an increase in the income of spirit stones.
Therefore, the output is still only maintained at the extent of forty or fifty catties in a round, plus a few catties of spirit gourd tips and spirit gourd seedlings, it is roughly estimated that each round of revenue is three lower grade spirit stones, and the planting cost of half a spirit stone is removed, and converted, and thirty-seven and a half lower grade spirit stones can be net in a month.
At first glance, this is a very large fortune, worth the wages of an ordinary early monk for several years.
However, although she can earn these spirit stones, Hua Ying is still very short of money. The spirit pills used by these cultivators for cultivation were too expensive, one of the most ordinary Qi Gathering Pills required two lower-grade spirit stones to buy, and the Qi Extraction Pills needed by mid-stage Qi cultivation cultivators even reached three lower-grade spirit stones.
It is no wonder that these casual cultivators in Fang City are difficult to advance all year round, and some of them have extremely poor qualifications and even ten or twenty years before they can break through to the first level of realm, and it is difficult to cultivate to the late stage of qi cultivation for the rest of their lives.
Ordinary monks have worked hard for a year, and all they get is just a few elixirs, and they have worked hard all their lives in pursuit of the path of immortality.
In contrast, Hua Ying can be described as extraordinarily lucky, in the past, she used to take various herbs, yellow ginseng, angelica leaves and other spiritual objects, so that she was promoted to a mid-stage Qi cultivation monk with inferior qualifications in just a few years. Such opportunities are not insignificant.
The road to cultivating immortals will become more difficult the further you go, and after the middle of promotion, every level of realm you have to pay several times more difficult than before, even if you have a mysterious jade pendant, it is difficult to compare with those genius monks who were born to grow up in the big family sect and can easily enjoy countless heavenly and earthly treasures.
Thirty-seven half-grade spirit stones seem to be many, but it is also difficult to support Hua Ying's growing demand for spirit pills.
Even if she only took one Qi Gathering Pill every day, she would consume sixty lower-grade spirit stones in a month, which was far from reaching the limit of her body's refining pills. If you want to maintain the rapid growth of cultivation, you must at least reach the level of three pills a day, and even take a higher level of Qi Pill.
It is far from enough to rely on the current income from selling spirit melons, unless she can slowly endure the torment of not breaking through for ten years.
And now there are two paths in front of Hua Ying.
First, opening the furnace for alchemy and being self-sufficient can greatly reduce the cost of taking the elixir.
Second, continue to use the spiritual field in the jade pendant space to increase income, and find a way to earn spirit stones in industries other than cultivating spiritual melons.
Of course, the alchemy of the furnace had to be carried out, and Hua Ying had already prepared the "Complete Solution of the Basic Dan Dao", and also had a general understanding of the materials required for alchemy.
But unfortunately, she couldn't find any trace of the alchemy furnace in Dongshanfang City, and those ordinary vendors didn't have an alchemy furnace in their hands at all. Not to mention the shops that sell elixirs, they can't sell them.
Therefore, if Hua Ying wants to open a furnace for alchemy, she has to go to other large markets to find a Dan furnace.
From this point of view, alchemy will not work in a short period of time.
Hua Ying can only transfer her mind to her spiritual field, this thing is her foundation, in addition to the small part of the land where the spiritual melon is planted, there is still a large area of spiritual land that has not yet been developed, how can it be wasted?
In addition to open source, she also has to find ways to reduce expenditure, and she has recently been looking for other ways to see if there is anything that can replace the spirit stone to supplement the fertility of the field.
If you can find it, you can save a lot of money on the cost of spirit stones, half a spirit stone for each round of spirit melon does not seem to be much, but it is also a lot of money over the years.
It has been recorded in the book "Spirit Plant Handbook" that the source of spiritual energy required by the immortal spiritual field is from the earth power of the spiritual field, the second is from the wood spirit qi between heaven and earth, and the third is the nourishment of external objects such as wood spirit stones.
As a kind of currency circulating among monks, the spirit stone has a high content of spiritual energy, but it is not the best choice for giving spiritual energy to Lingtian.
And the means other than excluding spirit stones are nothing more than arranging small spirit gathering formations, or quoting other spiritual objects containing wood spiritual energy.
Heaven and earth are so big, and there are so many spiritual things that contain wood aura. For example, as mentioned in the book, there is a kind of wood demon in the mountains and forests of the immortal cultivation world, its body is like a wood, and it is extremely huge, and there are often monks who enter the mountain to cut down this wood, and exchange their bodies for spirit stones with the immortal cultivation sect, often an adult wood demon, the wood spirit qi contained is enough to be worth thousands of wood spirit stones.
However, the strength of this wood demon is strong, and it is not something that ordinary qi cultivators can match, and most of them can only be cut down by a group of monks in the late stage of qi training.
After cutting down the wood demon, grind the body of the wood demon into sawdust and sprinkle it on the spirit field, which can have the same effect as the wood spirit stone. Since the wood demons grow naturally and have an astonishing number in the immortal cultivation world, most of the immortal gates' spiritual fields use this to replace the wood spirit stones and serve as the source of spiritual energy for the spiritual fields.
After Hua Ying learned about this thing from the "Spirit Plant Handbook", she immediately went to the Fang Market for a walk, but unfortunately, this thing could not be found in the Fang City at all.
In fact, this is also normal, there are not many monks in the late stage of Qi cultivation in Dongshanfang City, and there is no spiritual field in and around Fang City, even if there are monks in the late stage of Qi cultivation who are willing to enter the mountain to cut down wood demons, they will not be able to sell them after bringing them back to Fang City.
In the final analysis, the number of monks in Dongshanfang City is too small.
Hua Ying once heard that there is a big country thousands of miles away, where the Xiuzhenfang City is like a city, there are tens of thousands of immortal cultivators in the city, and there are many great cultivators in the later stage of Qi training, even in the foundation building period, there are not a few, and the richness of the city's products is far from being comparable to the small Fang City around the Liuxing Mountain Range.
After hearing this, Hua Ying immediately longed for it, but when she thought that this journey was really far away, and that she would have to cross the Liuxing Mountains during the period, and after going to Xingguo in the south of the mountain, she would have to pass through several small countries to arrive, and she immediately fell into despair.
She is now cultivating the fourth level of Qi, and her strength is low, so how can she pass through the Six Elements Mountain Range, where demon beasts are rampant, let alone travel a long distance to a country thousands of miles away.
This road does not work, and it can only be put on hold for the time being.
In the next few days, Hua Ying pondered the alternative method of the wood spirit stone while continuing to cultivate the spirit melon in the spirit field. When the melons are ripe, they are sold at stalls, and most of the spirit stones obtained are exchanged for spirit pills to assist in cultivation, and it is almost difficult to accumulate spirit stones.
After a period of time, her spirit melon business became more and more difficult to sell, and she went out of the stall every morning and could barely sell the spirit melon until evening.
Although this matter can earn spirit stones, it will inevitably take up the time of cultivation, and the frequent sale of spirit melons has also attracted the attention of some monks in the workshop.
Hua Ying decided to make a change.
this day.
Hua Ying got up early in the morning, picked the spirit melons in the field, and packed them together with the melon seedlings, and then rushed to the small streets of Fang Market without stopping.
The early bird is good at occupying the stall, but the reason why she is in such a hurry today is for something else.
After coming to the side street, Hua Ying was worried for a while, and after seeing a familiar figure, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she trotted over.
"Brother melon, let's make a deal, okay?"
