On the fifth day of February, in the morning.

A figure flew in from afar.

Because Meng Zhou opened the formation in advance, the other party went straight into the courtyard and landed directly in the house.

Although she hadn't seen her for a long time, Zhu Qian was not unfamiliar at all, looked around, and praised:

"Zhuang Daoyou, the spiritual plants in your courtyard are really good to cultivate."

Those thirty spirit plants with second-order supreme potential, as well as those that had participated in the Spirit Dew test at the beginning, were all covered up by Meng Zhou with a formation.

Therefore, all that Zhu Qian could see at the moment were spiritual plants that grew up in a normal state.

It's just that because of his superb spiritual plant attainments and the careful care of Yaya, he seems so full of vitality and far beyond the ordinary.

Meng Zhou smiled and asked curiously, "Why are you alone?" I thought the two Luo Daoyou would go with you. ”

At this moment, he was preparing spiritual tea, and there were four teacups next to a large teapot, obviously expecting the Luo family's father and son.

Zhu Qian explained: "When they first arrived, they were not familiar with the situation here, so they needed me to bring them with them.

Now they are more familiar with the situation of Sanchuan Plateau than me, why do they need me to bring it? We've long since gone our separate ways.

Because of the different division of labor and the different areas they are responsible for, I haven't met them at all these days. ”

As she spoke, Zhu Qian sat down opposite Meng Zhou by herself, picked up the cup of spiritual tea that Meng Zhou had poured for her, put it to her lips and sniffed it, and praised:

"Zhuang Daoyou's tea-making level is really getting higher and higher.

In my opinion, it is more profitable to open up hundreds of acres of tea plantations and be the owner of the tea plantation yourself than to operate these thousands of acres of jade heart and zhuguo. ”

Meng Zhou didn't answer, just smiled reservedly.

In fact, the spiritual tea he prepared today was only the aged tea he made when the concoction technique was still at the level of the grandmaster.

He didn't take out the spirit tea that he made after the concoction technique was perfected.

It's not that he's stingy with this little tea, but he just doesn't want to make himself look too demonic.

With the all-round improvement of cultivation and strength, Meng Zhou's confidence in his heart has become more and more sufficient, and for people close to him, such as Kan Yue and Zhu Qian, he is also consciously showing his genius.

But on the other hand, he is also very careful to control a degree.

Zhu Qian drank the tea soup in the cup in one gulp, and Meng Zhou asked while refilling the cup for her:

"Zhu Daoyou is very busy these days?"

Zhu Qian corrected: "Not very busy, very, very busy!" ”

She complained to Meng Zhou:

"I thought that after Luo Daoyou came over, I would be a lot more relaxed.

Who would have thought that he would just come over here, and the head of the Fan family would be killed over there.

This increase and decrease have not lightened the burden on me at all. ”

"I thought this was already the limit, but I never thought that there would be another such thing as a blue blood original!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Qian couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

Meng Zhou thought for a while and asked curiously: "Is it the matter of opening up wasteland and expanding production?" ”

Zhu Qian nodded and said:

"Since the introduction of the two services of Shattering Mangniu and Rainforest Black Toad, the vast majority of farm owners have chosen to continue to expand production.

The conservative ones have expanded their production by a few hundred acres, directly doubled, and there are many that have expanded by thousands and hundreds of acres.

There are a few particularly radical ones, do you know how much has been expanded? ”

"How much?" Meng Zhou asked.

"Four or five thousand acres!" Zhu Qian said.

"Uh...... Isn't that an exaggeration, and can they run it? Meng Zhou was also a little surprised.

Zhu Qian said: "Do you know how they calculated this account?" ”

"How?" Meng Zhou was really a little curious.

"The Sanchuan Society has preferential treatment for newly opened wasteland, and only one percent of the output of the spiritual field will be used to fill the spiritual seed and other expenditures within ten years.

Within 20 years, it will be 20%, 30% within 30 years, and from 31 years, the two sides will resume 46 points. ”

Zhu Qian first introduced the basic situation, Meng Zhou nodded, Governor Li had also told him about this before.

At first, Meng Zhou also felt that this was quite relaxed, but after having more understanding and actual feelings about Lingtian's operation, this discount was just like that in his opinion.

With the growth cycle of the vast majority of second-order spirit plants, at most one crop can be harvested in ten years.

If you want to harvest two crops, that is, compress the growth cycle to less than five years, the range of spirit seeds that can be selected will become very narrow, and the economic value will be reduced.

Therefore, after a comprehensive trade-off, it is most appropriate to choose those spirit seeds with a growth cycle of six to seven years within 30 years, and at the same time get more discounts, you will also benefit the most.

The 30-year preferential period for land reclamation cannot be said to be worthless, but if you take a closer look, it's just like that.

Zhu Qian said: "The thousands of acres of spiritual land that were newly opened up, they didn't think about operating it themselves. ”

Meng Zhou was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"It means that the plough is looking for the earth-shaking cows, the rainfall is looking for the rainforest black toad, and if there is a problem in the spiritual field, they will find the spirit planter, they don't have to worry about anything, waiting for the harvest to be done."

"Oh, you can't say anything and don't worry about it, take care of it every day, and check the status of all the spiritual plants in the thousands of acres of spiritual fields at any time, these are always things to do.

But they don't need to do it themselves, they just need to recruit more Qi training servants, they just need to lie comfortably at home and be the master. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Qian's tone was obviously a little sarcastic.

It is also understandable that in this situation, the status of these spirit planters is equivalent to that of the two demon beasts.

What's even more pitiful is that there are quite a few of them, whether it is the Earth-shaking Mangniu or the Rainforest Black Toad, but there are only two Spirit Planters.

You can imagine what they have to be busy with this change.

Meng Zhou was surprised: "Do you do this, do they really have to make money?" ”

Zhu Qian nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but show admiration on her face.

Although he was very angry that those shrewd landlords had increased the amount of tasks for him, he also had to admire the intentions and calculations of others in this regard.

"They used the method of rotational planting, alternating between long-term and short-term spiritual plants, and interplanting with high-value and low-value spiritual plants, and also took into account the different needs of different spiritual plants for spiritual rain.

After their calculations, after maximizing all this, every ten years, they can successfully harvest two rounds.

Even if they do nothing, after deducting all expenses, they can enjoy half of the benefits of the newly opened spiritual fields in the first ten years.

Between ten and twenty years, you can enjoy half of the benefits of Lingtian for nothing.

In the last 10 years of this promotion period, they can also enjoy half of the income for nothing. ”

Meng Zhou said with a smile: "Then when the preferential period ends, if they still want to continue to operate these thousands of acres of spiritual land, won't they have to put spirit stones into it?" ”

Zhu Qian asked rhetorically: "Zhuang Daoyou thinks that how many of the hundreds of Zhuang landlords in Sanchuan Plateau are willing to farm here for more than 30 years?" ”

Meng Zhou was silent.

The vast majority of Zhuji Zhuang landowners choose to come here to farm, not because they like it, but because they have to do it.

When they have saved enough capital, who is impatient to nail themselves to this one-third of an acre of land year after year.

What foundation monk doesn't have a heart to seek the Great Way?

Meng Zhou thought for a while, and then said:

"This kind of expectation is based on Lingtian's stable output, right?"

The output of the newly opened spiritual fields is usually lower than expected.

Zhu Qian nodded and said:

"But as long as the qi is good and there is the care of the spirit planter, even if the output is lower than expected, the reduction in production can be controlled within half percent.

In this case, the benefits of the first two decades are still guaranteed.

With the support of the Sanchuan Society, hundreds of foundations have been built on the Sanchuan Plateau, and there are not sixty but fifty who are proficient in the art of regulating qi, so it is not difficult to manage the qi of the newly opened spiritual field.

The biggest pressure fell on me and Luo Daoyou. ”

"Moreover, according to the contract between the Sanchuan Society and the owner of the farm, if the production of the Lingtian is reduced to the point that the owner of the farm is unprofitable, the owner of the farm can choose to directly destroy the field and stop the operation.

Sanchuan's investment in these spiritual fields will also be wasted, and the owner of the village does not need to pay half a spiritual stone as compensation. ”

"In the past, the owners of the farms invested more time and energy in these spiritual fields, and they were the ones who were more sensitive to losses."

"And according to the current gameplay of these farm owners, most of the investment is Sanchuan Club.

Once there is a reduction in production or even a failure in Lingtian, the biggest loss is the Sanchuan Society.

Therefore, compared to those Zhuang Tian owners, Sanchuan will not want any problems in Lingtian.

Once there are signs of a reduction in production, they will be more anxious than the farmer himself! ”

Meng Zhou suddenly, this rough sound, a bit like the meaning of the Zhuangtian's landlords reversing the white ticket Sanchuan Society, and collectively collecting the wool of the Sanchuan Society.

As if he hadn't done anything, he picked up a thousand acres of spiritual land for nothing.

——Four or five thousand acres of spiritual land, two or three percent of the income for nothing, isn't it equivalent to picking up a thousand acres of spiritual land for nothing?

Meng Zhou felt that things were not so simple, the cooperation between Bi Xueyuan and the Sanchuan Society, and the first plan launched, it was impossible for such a big flaw.

Thinking like this in my heart, I said with emotion:

"Listening to you say that, what's the difference between this and picking up spirit stones for nothing? Other farm owners are not allowed to rush to follow up? ”

Zhu Qian nodded and said:

"Yes, at first, only a very small number of Zhuang Tianowners were bold enough to drink this oral soup.

When other farm owners reacted, they wanted to follow up, but they couldn't line up. ”

"Why is that?"

"There are only a limited number of black toads in the rainforest."

"And, in order to ensure their condition, they can't be squeezed to death.

There is a limit to the spiritual fields they can be responsible for, and now the scale of expansion is already the limit of what they can support. ”

Speaking of this, she took the initiative to equate herself with these black toads, and complained: "This is also the limit of me and Luo Daoyou." ”

Hearing her complaint, Meng Zhou didn't feel the same in his heart, but felt that the tolerance of people was really not comparable to that of demon beasts.

The limit of potential or something, as long as you squeeze it to death, there will often be surprises.

Meng Zhou had already listened to Zhu Qian complain about the heavy task of Sanchuan Plateau for several time periods, but as the situation in Sanchuan Plateau increased the requirements of the Spirit Planter again and again, he actually carried it down.

Looking at her state now, she is not much worse, compared to when she first met, she has obviously grown a lot.

Meng Zhouqi said: "But I see that you are quite idle now?" ”

Zhu Qian said: "Because from today onwards, I can really relax." ”

Speaking of this, she looked at Meng Zhou with a look of "you might as well guess".

"Your teacher has arranged for reinforcements for you again?" Meng Zhou said softly.

"You got it?" Zhu Qian's eyes widened, as if she was curious about where he knew about it.

"There's only one possibility I can think of, right? Could there be something else? ”

"Uh......" Zhu Qian blinked, and found that it was.

It's for her to guess, and she can't think of the second possibility if she wants to break her head.

She added, "Then guess how many reinforcements are coming this time?" ”

"How much?" Meng Zhou asked.

"Guess what." Zhu Qian said.

"Don't guess." Meng Zhoudao.

"Six spirit planters, two second-order mid-grade, and four second-order lower-grade."

"Plus me and Luo Daoyou, four medium grades, four lower grades, barely enough." Zhu Qian said "inadvertently".

However, Meng Zhou still keenly captured Hua Dian and said "surprised":

"Your Spirit Planter level has been raised to the second-order middle grade?"

Zhu Qian waved her hand and pretended to be an understatement: "I have been busy for so long without touching my feet, and it can be regarded as a small gain." ”

Meng Zhou is not rude to congratulate.

It doesn't matter if it's perfunctory on the surface, but her movements and expressions engrave her true inner thoughts on her face.

After smoothing out her hair, Meng Zhou asked curiously:

"There aren't many second-order spirit planters in the association, why did I give you so much support this time?"

"Because last time it was my personal request for help, but this time it was President Pan who asked the association for help in the name of the Sanchuan Society, and the nature is different."

Speaking of this, she also specially emphasized: "The association I'm talking about is not the Spirit Planter Branch, but the Professional Association. ”

Meng Zhou said unexpectedly: "What's going on?" ”

The information revealed by Zhu Qian was really a bit unexpected by Meng Zhou.

Zhu Qian didn't sell it, and talked about it carefully with Meng Zhou.

In the face of more and more applications for the use of the earth-shaking mangniu and the rainforest black toad, the Sanchuan Association did not directly reject it, but said that the existing number of Sanchuan Plateau can only maintain this level of use demand.

Follow-up applications can only wait in line, and the Sanchuan Society is communicating with Bixueyuan to strive to bring in more rainforest black toads this year.

Therefore, it is conservatively estimated that after September this year, Sanchuan Plateau will usher in another wave of land reclamation.

Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped, looked at Meng Zhou, and asked, "Do you know who is most urgent now?" ”

"Who?" Meng Zhou didn't guess, just be a competent person.

"Dai Shouli's local monks, to be more specific, are the new foundation builders they sent to Qinglinfang last year and returned one after another.

The number of newcomers to this group of foundation builders alone has now exceeded two hundred! ”

After her reminder, Meng Zhou also remembered that he had almost forgotten about this matter when he stayed at home to practice every day.

As for Zhu Qian saying that these people reacted most violently to this matter, Meng Zhou could also understand it.

These people are already saddled with huge debts in their butts before they even advance to the foundation building.

——In order to bind these people, Dai Shouli and others naturally cannot use unreliable means such as friendship.

But it is also impossible to really bind them as long-term servants, even if they are bound by the Dao Heart Oath, the backlash, or backlash brought by this method is also very terrifying.

Therefore, they are all used as debt binding. There is a vow to testify, and I am not afraid that they will not admit it.

After completing the foundation building, their need for earning spirit stones was the most urgent, which could be completely equated with their Dao hearts.

is for ordinary people, if they miss the cheapness of picking up for nothing, it is equivalent to suffering a big loss, not to mention them.

Again, these are all new foundations, and it is still too reluctant to operate a second-order spiritual field alone.

"At their collective request, Dai Shouli and others teamed up to ask for a guarantee from the Sanchuan Society." Zhu Qian said.

"What guarantees?" Meng Zhou was curious.

"The Sanchuan Society cannot discriminate against local monks, and the treatment of local monks cannot be worse than that of foreign village owners." Zhu Qian said.

Meng Zhou was stunned, at first glance, it sounded really weak and aggrieved.

When did the native monk, who had always been in a strong position, become so humble?

But after thinking about it carefully, Meng Zhou tasted the fun.

Sure enough, Zhu Qian said: "In the face of such a request, it is naturally impossible for Sanchuan to not agree." ”

"No matter how long the application of those farm owners is, Sanchuan will meet the needs of each farm owner, such as arranging for the earth-shaking cattle to open up 5,000 acres of spiritual land for them, and arranging for the rainforest black toad to irrigate them regularly.

Then, at the same time, the same share must be allocated for the new local foundation. ”

"Therefore, according to these changes, by the end of this year, the scale of the newly opened spiritual fields in Sanchuan Plateau will be more than three times that of the current one.

If the Blue Blood Yuan is powerful, and can get more second-order demon beasts with innate rainfall ability, the scale will be even greater! ”

"If that's the case, even if Luo Daoyou and I are divided into two halves, we won't be able to cope with it."

"President Pan obviously knows about this as well, and it is no longer possible for Sanchuan Yuan not to increase the number of second-order spirit planters by a large amount."

"At first, President Pan asked me to ask the teacher for help again, but the teacher did not agree.

Because after Jade Lake was transformed into a third-order spiritual land, many high-quality second-order spiritual lands were also added.

The demand for second-order spirit planters is also extremely high, and in this case, who would want to come to Sanchuan Plateau?

If the teacher forcibly appoints it, it will be a match, and it will be very detrimental to prestige. ”

"After listening to my reply, President Pan didn't know what channel to use, and finally put this issue in front of the headquarters of the association."

"In the end, as a result of the coordination and communication of the association headquarters, the teacher vacated six second-order spirit planters to come to Sanchuan Plateau."

Zhu Qian recounted what happened, but Meng Zhou felt the traces of the game from it.

The gap in the demand for second-order spirit planters in Sanchuan Plateau was something that President Pan had to solve.

At first, he wanted to get more spirit planters through Zhu Qian's personal relationship with her teacher.

This was directly rejected by her teacher, and the reason was clearly placed in front of him.

The underlying intent is that if you can't solve these problems for me, I won't agree to it if you open your mouth to me personally.

If you want to poach people from me, you have to solve my problem first.

Meng Zhou didn't know what kind of price President Pan paid for putting this issue in front of the Professional Association, but it was not low.

And if the Professionals Association wants to persuade Zhu Qian's teacher to arrange more spirit planters to come over, it also needs to pay something.

This is not only about the actual benefits, but also about the changes in the voice and status of the different professional chapters within the professional association.

Looking at it from another angle, among the professional associations, the alchemist branch, the refiner branch, the talisman master branch, and the array mage branch have the highest status and the heaviest voice.

They all have one thing in common – they all consume resources.

Only with resources can they have status, if they don't have resources, they are nothing, and the so-called smart women are difficult to cook without rice.

Now, the general trend of the Qingxuan Domain is changing, and the importance of resources is increasing at a visible rate.

The ability to produce resources on a stable and large-scale scale is something they cannot ignore.

Within the association, the group of spirit planters with a lower voice is one of the few types of occupations that do not consume resources, but produce resources.

With such a resource as Sanchuan Plateau, there is even a risk of not moving without them.

Thinking about it this way, the relationship between several parties is a bit of a stick tiger chicken, one gram at a time, circular dependence.

Meng Zhou was also inexplicably more interested in Zhu Qian's teacher.

She didn't seem to do anything special, she just rejected her disciple's private request, but after she played it so skillfully, the result was so "everyone happy".

Critical needs have been met by all parties.

After this experience, the subtle changes in the status and voice of the spiritual planter group in the professional association can also be imagined.

……

The two chatted casually for a while, and at a certain moment, Zhu Qian suddenly said:

"Zhuang Daoyou, you are also a second-order spirit planter now, right?"

Meng Zhou was stunned, and then asked rhetorically, "Why do you say that?" ”

Zhu Qian said: "I have a division of labor with Luo Daoyou, and I am responsible for the spiritual field in this area where you are located."

And before Luo Daoyou came over, I was responsible for all the spiritual fields of the foreign village owners.

Therefore, as long as you have any problems with this Lingtian, the Sanchuan Society will report it to me. ”

"I was so busy that I didn't have the energy to focus on anything else.

Two days ago, when I was free, I wanted to come to sit here, but I suddenly remembered that since you planted this thousand acres of spiritual field, there seems to be no problem with your spiritual field. ”

"Although you are proficient in the art of qi management, not all problems can be solved by the art of qi management, let alone this newly opened spiritual field.

In addition to your Lingtian, I went to the least one last year, and I have been there three times in person, and I have solved it more times through the Sanchuan Society. ”

Facing Zhu Qian's determined eyes, Meng Zhou did not deny it, but just chuckled:

"Luckily, I want to thank Zhu Daoyou for his support."

Zhu Qian was a little depressed at first, and then smiled like a self-explanatory smile:

"Haha, it seems that my vision is really right, Zhuang Daoyou, you are a genius of the Spirit Planter."

Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something again, suddenly leaned forward, and said in a low voice: "Zhuang Daoyou, tell you something." ”

"What's the matter?" Seeing her like this, Meng Zhou's question couldn't help but lower his voice.

"My teacher is likely to come to Sanchuan Plateau in person this year, do you want to see it then?" She asked.

The news of "uh......" was a little sudden and a little unexpected, and Meng Zhou was stunned.

Zhu Qian hurriedly said:

"For the genius of Lingzhi, my teacher admires it very much.

As long as she knows about your situation, she will definitely be willing to give you a boost. ”

Seeing that Meng Zhou didn't speak, she hurriedly added:

"I know that you like to be quiet, and you don't like to be in the limelight, and you don't necessarily look down on the benefits you have to say.

So, it's all about your own attitude!

If you want to, I'll help you say more good things.

If you don't like it, I don't know about it. ”

Meng Zhou saw that she was so sincere, and he also knew that this was a very pure kindness, and said:

"Thank you Zhu Daoyou, but let me think about it...... When is your teacher coming? ”

"I don't know about this, but the Jade Lake has transferred so many second-order spirit planters at one time, and it has to be reorganized.

Therefore, she should not be able to come in the first half of this year. ”

Meng Zhou nodded in understanding.

After that, the two chatted for a while, mainly Zhu Qian shared with him all kinds of wonderful and interesting things he encountered walking around the Sanchuan Plateau.

When Zhu Qian got up to say goodbye, Meng Zhou handed Zhu Qian a bag of spiritual tea weighing two or three catties.

Zhu Qian took it, opened the tasting in person, and said with a very perfunctory politeness: "Zhuang Daoyou, I'm embarrassed by you, every time I come over, I even eat and take." ”

Looking at her expression, she should be very satisfied with the quality of these spirit teas.

Meng Zhou smiled: "You should help me eliminate the inventory." ”

"Destocking?" Zhu Qian was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Okay, I'll help you with this...... If you still have such difficulties in the future, remember to notify me immediately! ”

Obviously, she regarded Meng Zhou's words as a ridicule between friends, and she ridiculed and ridiculed.

But what she didn't know was that Meng Zhou was telling the truth.

Since drinking the spiritual tea made after the concocting technique was completed, the spiritual tea concocted at the previous master-level and grandmaster-level level has been kept in the storage space by him.

He also thought about giving it to Yang Chong and his wife, but this quality of spiritual tea was still too good for them.

With their cultivation at the Qi cultivation level now, for this kind of high-quality spiritual object, it is okay to do it occasionally, but if they enjoy it too much, it is not a good thing for them.

It is easy to take the body in its mouth.

Even if they can overcome it subjectively, the truth of "from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift" is also applicable to the body itself.

Therefore, he did not continue to give them high-quality spiritual tea.

In the future, every time Zhu Qian visited, he would pack some and send them out, which was regarded as making room for storage space.

What if I come too often and run out?

Excuse me, let's drink plain water.

Anyway, he wasn't going to use the perfect quality spiritual tea to entertain guests.

……

After Zhu Qian left, Meng Zhou continued his regular practice.

On the tenth day of February, late at night.

When Meng Zhou finished this round of practice and entered the ashram to begin his routine retreat.

Qi Hope Experience +3500, Grandmaster 8300/16000;

Because of Zhu Qian's visit, the harvest of the lightning technique was not as expected, but it was not too bad.

Thunderbolt XP +3800, Grandmaster 6000/8000.

……

February 13, early in the morning.

Repair progress +35, foundation 6 floor 309/1000;

2nd Order Spring Water Sutra +700, Grandmaster 15400/32000;

Soul Pool Moon Heart +700, Grandmaster 4700/32000;

Turtle Refining +700, Grandmaster 10730/24000.

……

February 16, late at night.

The Thunder Falling Technique completes the accumulation of the Grandmaster level and advances to consummation.

In addition to gaining more experience and insights about casting lightning falling techniques, the power has become greater, and the casting is also faster, more flexible, and unexpected.

Meng Zhou also had another feeling, that is, when he mobilized his mana and divine soul power, he was about to cast the Thunder Falling Technique, but he didn't let it go.

There was a faint connection between his consciousness and the void marked by the lightning technique.

For the area where the lightning spell is about to attack, there is a general feeling of locking.

Meng Zhou's heart naturally rose to a kind of enlightenment.

"If the thunder is not in vain, the hair will be hit!"

Previously, even if the lightning falling technique was upgraded to the grandmaster level, it would also increase the power of the strike.

Although the power of the lightning falling technique itself is strong enough, and the speed is also superb, it is ranked first in the construction of the base layer.

But this kind of high-power spell that requires a lot of mana to cast has a common drawback that it can't be instantaneous.

Even if he had mastered it to the consummation level now, there was still a short interval between the thought movement and the thunder movement.

After all, it takes time to mobilize a large amount of mana.

It's like a person can't dodge a bullet, but as long as the reaction speed is faster than the speed of a finger pulling the trigger.

Experienced or skilled in dodging can theoretically dodge frontal lightning strikes if they anticipate the lightning attack in advance, and get stuck in the short interval between casts to dodge or arrange other means to defend against the target.

But now, Meng Zhou knew that the other party couldn't dodge.

Under his own lock, no matter how handsome the target is, he will be hit squarely.

"Well, it should also bring a little bit of heavenly power, although it can't be compared with the real Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, but that kind of natural deterrent to the divine soul, it's not an exaggeration to say that it is accompanied by a spiritual attack, right?"

Meng Zhou felt a little unusual again.

He couldn't help but look at the two Xuanling tortoises, they were lying quietly on the water, from time to time there were the slightest arcs flashing on the tortoise shells, their heads and limbs, neither shrunk nor upright, but hung weakly.

If it weren't for the slight tremors from time to time, he would have thought that they could no longer bear it, and his consciousness had been electrified first.

"Why don't you try?"

Meng Zhou thought so in his heart, and his consciousness circled them into a lock through a void somewhere above them.

The mana in their bodies had not yet been mobilized, and the two Xuanling Turtles, who seemed to be only one breath away from death, suddenly opened their eyes and looked at Meng Zhou, full of pleading and fear.

Turtles will die, turtles will really die.

Meng Zhou's heart suddenly softened, and he waved his hand to interrupt the connection between his consciousness and the void.

The eyes of the two turtles flashed with joy and happiness.

However, in the next moment, two thunderbolts were like two giant swords falling from the sky, slashing at the two turtles.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The lightning was shining, and the two turtles first stiffened, and then began to shake their heads and tails irregularly, and Meng Zhou nodded with satisfaction.

The consummation of the lightning spell is exempted, but the thunder still has to be split.

"I still have time to pretend to be dead, it seems that I can continue to give you some more intensity."

……

After the lightning falling technique was successful, Meng Zhou did not continue to learn new skills non-stop.

February 17, early in the morning.

Meng Zhou woke up from his deep meditation, and his soul, which had been consumed too much by the continued use of the Qi Technique, became full again.

He walked out of the ashram and into the house.

Reaching out and flicking it on the stove, a pot of freshly made spiritual water was filled with a full pot.

While waiting for the water to boil, Meng Zhou used the moon mirror to observe the growth of the jade heart vermilion fruit vine in the thousand acres of spiritual field.

"It's much better than the same time in the past."

Seeing this, Meng Zhou was very satisfied.

From the outside, this thousand acres of jade-hearted vermilion vines looked much weaker and weaker than in the same period in the past, but Meng Zhou looked directly inside through the moon mirror, and its spiritual vitality became more restrained.

Through the heart of nature, you can intuitively feel that they have become more resilient and have improved their tolerance for suffering (drought).

The fact that the two Xuanling Turtles used iron proved a truth to Meng Zhou, as long as they were not grinded, life could become stronger through continuous grinding.

In fact, the practice of this concept in Yuxin Zhu Guoteng is also very early.

Under normal circumstances, although the water demand of the jade heart vermilion vine during the growth period has decreased, in places like Sanchuan Plateau, water must be supplied once every five days.

The reason why it became once every ten days was due to Meng Zhou's "training".

With his attainments in the spiritual plant, he has the confidence that as long as he doesn't toss to die, he can't die, and the thousand acres of jade heart vermilion vine were trained by him to become a drought-tolerant spiritual plant.

It is watered once every ten days, just in sync with the rhythm of his practice.

With each watering, they will drink to their heart's content to cope with the hardships that follow.

Can't we continue to sharpen it?

Of course!

Meng Zhou clearly felt that this grinding was far from reaching the limit of the Jade Heart Zhu Fruit Vine.

It's a pity that he can't delay his practice rhythm in order to give them more grinding.

He couldn't give them water during the retreat, which meant that if he wanted to continue sharpening them, he would have to wait until he was out to rehydrate them.

The interval jumped from ten days to twelve days at once, and it was so grinding that it had to be "grinded to death" directly.

Because of this, he didn't continue to "grind" them.

But since the beginning of the first month, when the two Xuanling Turtles mastered the innate rainfall ability, this obstacle has disappeared.

He only needed to make arrangements in advance, including communicating with Yang Chong and the others in advance, and instructing the two Xuanling Turtles, "You need to rain a few inches and centimeters of rain in a few days and hours."

With Yaya supervising by his side, Meng Zhou believed that they would not make even a half-centrifice.

In this way, the sharpening of the jade heart vermilion vine can be continued.

Every time, Meng Zhou is more cautious, adding half a day and half a day, and every time he adds half a day, he will take a steady step.

And before and after the event, the thousand acres of jade heart Zhu Guovine will be properly soothed and treated in a timely manner.

Now, the irrigation cycle of 1,000 acres of jade heart vermilion vines has been increased from once every ten days to once every eleven days.

It seems that it has only been improved for one day, but the improvement of this jade heart Zhu Guovine is all-round.

"Goodo~~"

The boiling spiritual water made the spout whistle like a whistle, and Meng Zhou ended his inspection of the moonmirror of the thousand acres of jade-hearted vermilion vines.

Brewed himself a pot of spiritual tea, took out a thick stack of books and placed them in the corner of the table, took out the top notebook called "Family Fun Talk", and flipped through it carefully and leisurely.

From time to time, he would pause to turn the page or review a certain paragraph of a page.

Pick up the teacup and take a sip, his eyes full of thought.

After drinking a cup of tea, he finished the book.

In his mind, there was a lot of information related to the Xiu Immortal Family.

For the Xiuxian family, he also had a relatively complete and clear impression for the first time.

Including the wonderful relationship between the Xiuxian family and the Xiuxian family, the internal ecology of the Xiuxian family, the difference between the family monks and the casual cultivators, the chamber of commerce monks, and the sect monks in terms of thinking, and so on.

After reading this notebook, Meng Zhou had a vague understanding.

It can't be said to be correct, after all, it is a family's words, but it is far better than his previous complete ignorance of this part.

At least, it gave him a sense of understanding and thinking about this aspect.

After flipping through the notebook, Meng Zhou closed it and put it on the other side of the table.

I poured myself another cup of tea and continued to read the second book.

Guide to Second-Order Artifacts

After reading this book, Meng Zhou's biggest feeling was that he was ridiculous.

"Outdated, you're outdated."

This book lists in detail the names, uses, and most importantly prices of all common second-order items.

It mainly includes the prices of magic weapons, pills, talismans and some common spiritual materials.

This was a list of the prices of common second-order items, and Meng Zhou guessed that this should be prepared by a certain family for those new foundations.

But these contents, compared to the current Qingxuan Domain, are too old and have long been outdated.

Those price guides are also not a little bit of reference value.

But Meng Zhou did not rush through it because of this, but read it all very carefully.

When I saw it, my brain didn't stop working.

In this way, Meng Zhou spent four days flipping through more than half of all the paper classics he had purchased on the black market last time.

For the average person, this is a fast speed.

But for the foundation building monks, it is not too much to say that it is surprisingly slow.

For Meng Zhou, if he was just satisfied with memorizing them, it was really simple, he could scan them all and include them all into the sea of knowledge.

If necessary, you can read it in the sea of knowledge at any time to obtain relevant information, which is more convenient and faster than using the computer to find the function.

But Meng Zhou is obviously not satisfied with memorizing, in addition to memorizing them, he is more thinking, deducing, trying to break the "information wall" between different books, and correlating the information in other books, so that they can be connected into a larger piece.

Maybe it's because he has seen a lot of skills at the level of perfection, and he has become accustomed to the rhythm of peeling back the surface and seeing the essence.

Or, perhaps, it was his habit of thinking, not satisfied with the information itself recorded in books.

He wants to get rid of this "world of words" and "virtual world" built by words, and try to restore a real real world.

Although, it is somewhat wishful thinking to make up for the missing decades of experience with just a few dozen books.

——Building a foundation normally, to his realm, at least a few years or more than ten years, and at most decades of experience, but for Meng Zhou, it was a blank and a lesson he was missing.

But in any case, such an attempt is ultimately beneficial.

……

February 20, late at night.

Meng Zhou finished flipping through another book, got up and left the house, and returned to the ashram to prepare for the routine retreat.

"Well, it's been two months."

"This time, I can get those loot back, I don't know what it is."

Well, it looks like it's going to be tomorrow morning.
