To the west of Gangzhi Village, in the terraced fields.

A tall, handsome young man was bending over and placing the dark yellow wood chip in his hand among the green plants.

His slender fingers were very dexterous, and he placed them quickly, and he put the pieces of wood according to a certain pattern in three or two strokes, and although there was no ruler, the spacing of the pieces of wood seemed to have been measured, and the distance between them was the same.

After placing the wood chips, the young man took out a green bead the size of a soybean from the cloth bag around his waist and gently placed it in the center of the wood chip.

Suddenly, the wood chips vibrated together, "buzzed", and lit up slightly, forming a spirit gathering town, protecting the spirit plant in the middle.

"It worked." Shan Heyuan breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and hammered his waist.

The work of arranging the array is very detailed and cumbersome, and the requirements for accuracy are also very high, and the distance from point to point and line to line needs to be carefully calculated, which is very brain-consuming.

He has been bending over since the morning to fiddle with it, his waist is about to break, and his eyes are a little glazed.

Fortunately, this time the formation was a success.

Shan Heyuan stood in place and twisted his waist, looking at the plants on the side.

This is earth ginseng, a kind of elixir, which usually needs a supply of spiritual power to grow normally, otherwise it is easy to get sick and die.

He had planted a total of four terraces, and he needed to arrange one hundred and thirty-two small spirit gathering arrays, and he didn't know if he could finish them today.

Thinking of this, Shan Heyuan felt a little desperate.

It is said that the monk has the assistance of divine consciousness when arranging the formation, and the steps can be simplified a lot, and he will not be as tired as he is.

Shan Heyuan couldn't imagine what it was like, but he hoped that he could dredge the blocked muscles and veins as soon as possible and embark on the path of cultivation.

Otherwise, sooner or later he would have died of exhaustion in the fields.

After resting on the spot for a while, Shan Heyuan buried his head in the formation again, and when he saw the wild grass growing in the field, he would also pull it out.

He came to this world from Earth more than a month ago, and was picked up by his sect and placed in Gangzhi Village.

In order to support himself, after asking the village chief, he specially opened up this piece of wasteland that no one wanted to grow elixir.

Perhaps because no one has planted them for many years, there are a lot of weeds in the newly opened barren fields, and he has to pull out a round of weeds almost every time he comes to serve the elixir.

Thankfully, the results of his hard work were good.

He looked up at the little spirit plantation in the sun.

The ground under his feet, which had just reached his ankle height, swayed its verdant leaves in the breeze, exuding a faint medicinal fragrance.

A month ago, the terraces were barren and overgrown with weeds and small shrubs.

There have been such changes in just half a month, and as a pioneer, Shan Heyuan's heart is full of a sense of achievement.

He had almost figured out the new method of gathering the spirit array, and after he had mastered it thoroughly, he would change these spirit plants to a new formation, and at that time, whether it was an elixir or a spirit vegetable, the growth speed could not be increased.

After working until noon, Shan Heyuan wiped the sweat that almost flowed into his eyes, and decided to go home for a lunch break first and come back in the afternoon.

He picked some leaves of the earth ginseng as small green vegetables, carried his clothes, and walked slowly down the mountain road.

His house is not far from the terraces, go down to the foot of the hill, turn right, and turn a corner again.

Shan Heyuan was thinking about planting in his heart, and he was distracted while walking, until he was about to reach the door of the house, when he saw a person standing in front of the house.

The man was wearing a round bun, wearing a white tight-fitting robe, his figure was thin and tall, and Shan Heyuan immediately recognized that this was Ma Rupei, a senior brother sent by the Taihe Sect to bring him.

A smile appeared on his face, and he quickly stepped forward to greet Ma Rupei: "Senior Brother Ma! What are you doing here? Come in and rest. ”

Shan Heyuan wanted to put the vegetables in his pocket on the ground, and took out the key to open the door.

"I'll do it." Ma Rupei said and directly took the key in his hand and opened the big copper lock: "Our hunting team is back, come and see you." Are you still comfortable in the village? ”

Shan Heyuan followed Ma Rupei into the door: "It's good, everyone takes good care of me." The spiritual fields that have opened on my mountain have all been planted with spiritual plants, and they are growing well. ”

Ma Rupei: "I just glanced at it from a distance and saw it. Your Spirit Gathering Array is very well set up, and you are quite talented. ”

Shan Heyuan laughed: "Huh? I learned from the book, the formation created by Master Shanlai, can also be used by mortals without spiritual power. ”

Ma Rupei: "That's good. ”

Shan Heyuan: "Senior brother drinks tea." Have you had lunch? Grab a bite to eat here? ”

Ma Rupei took out a large piece of meat from the storage ring: "You moved here, we haven't celebrated yet." This is the spirit venison that I hunted when I went out this time, and I just fried it and ate it today. ”

Shan Heyuan took it: "Thank you, senior brother, then I'm welcome." You sit down for a while, I'll go stir-fry a dish, and I'll be able to eat soon." ”

Shan Heyuan's kitchen is in a corner of the courtyard, he carries the meat and vegetables into the kitchen, first washing rice and cooking rice, and then processing the vegetables and meat.

The mountains and forests here, especially those far from human settlements, contain a variety of spirit animals and spirit plants, many of which are full of aggressive species.

As a mortal, Shan Heyuan didn't dare to go up the mountain alone, let alone collect firewood and the like.

He now cooks directly with the deflagration charm.

The deflagration charm is stuffed into the stove, and then excited with the spirit bead, the size of the fire can be adjusted within a certain range, and it can also be switched on and off freely, which is similar to the gas stove on the earth, but the fire is much more fierce.

Cooking with a deflagration charm is more demanding for the chef, and if you are not careful, the dishes in the pot will burn.

But this is not difficult for Shan Heyuan, he didn't have good cooking skills before he crossed over, and after coming here, he was able to get started with a little adjustment.

It took twenty minutes to make three dishes and one soup.

Shan Heyuan took the dishes to the restaurant and greeted Ma Rupei: "Senior brother, it's time to eat." My skills are not good, you can bear more. ”

Ma Rupei: "It's much better than my craft, if I had your craft, I wouldn't eat Bigu Dan every day." ”

Shan Heyuan smiled and served Ma Rupei a meal.

Ma Rupei took a bottle of wine from the storage ring and came out: "Drink some?" ”

Shan Heyuan stood up and found a cup for Ma Rupei: "No, I am easy to get drunk when I drink spiritual wine, and I will accompany you when I drink soup." ”

Ma Rupei: "The mulberry wine specially brought to you is good for warming the muscles and veins, and it is not intoxicating." ”

When Shan Heyuan heard this, he took an extra cup and handed it to him with a smile: "Then I must taste it, thank you senior brother." ”

The two sat down to drink and eat, and also talked about what had happened recently.

Shan Heyuan lives in the village and rarely goes to the town, and a lot of news is only known from Ma Rupei.

Far away, there is a super sect Fengjian Sect, the head of the sect is in retreat again, and the Spirit Sect has more elders of the Transformation God and other major events in the whole cultivation realm.

Recently, there are thirty more disciples of the Taihe Sect this autumn, and the price of the spirit stone ore has risen again, and other small things closely related to their lives.

Shan Heyuan also talked about his recent situation.

He has been doing well lately, studying, growing vegetables, and occasionally going into the mountains with the people in the village to pick wild goods, which can be regarded as completely settled.

Ma Rupei was very happy when he heard that he was doing well, and unconsciously drank a few more glasses, his eyebrows and eyes were red, obviously drunk, and his speech became slurred.

Shan Heyuan had to help him go to his room and let him rest first.

After eating lunch and cleaning up the kitchen, Shan Heyuan himself was a little sleepy.

He went to the study and took the rune book written by Master Benshanlai, and originally wanted to hurry up and read it, but after reading a few pages, he couldn't hold on, so he had to sit at the desk, pillow his arm, and take a nap in a hurry.

Maybe because he drank spiritual wine, he slept for a long time, but Ma Rupei woke him up: "Senior Brother Shan, are you still sleepy?" Do you want to go to bed and sleep? ”

Shan Heyuan rubbed his eyes and stood up: "It's time to wake up, and you shouldn't be able to sleep at night if you sleep again." ”

Ma Rupei: "That's fine. Are you free in the afternoon? We hurried to the town and handed in the task by the way. ”

Shan Heyuan glanced at the chronograph wooden talisman hanging on the wall, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still too late: "I'll go get the identity talisman." ”

The two of them took all their things and went to the outside of the village to prepare to take the brine worm to the disciple's office of Taihemen.

Shan Heyuan lives on the edge of Jingzhishan Town, and because he has no cultivation, he can't do anything like it, so he has to rely on public transportation to go out.

The vehicle here is not a car or a horse, but an underground creature called Artemia.

When a person activates a rune called a "Artemia Charm", the Artemia senses it, and will rush over, swallow the person inside, and then lead the person to various parts of the town from below.

Shan Heyuan stood on the side of the road, and saw that Ma Rupei was holding a brine worm talisman in his hand, and when he entered the spiritual power to excite it, the talisman immediately lit up with a faint light.

He Yuan's heart tightened slightly, and he quickly inhaled, lowered his shoulders and adjusted his standing posture.

As soon as he stood up, a bloody mouth suddenly appeared on the street floor two or three meters in front of him, biting directly at them.

His eyes flickered, and when his vision became clear again, the person had already appeared in a space that resembled a stone cave.

This is the inside of Artemia, with a row of yellow lights on top and chairs neatly arranged on both sides, and there are already a few passengers there.

He breathed a sigh quietly, it had been more than a month since he came to the Cultivation Realm, and he was still not used to the public transportation here, it was too exciting.

Ma Rupei first went to the side of the selection board, pressed the street he was going to on the selection board, chose a place to sit down, and beckoned Shan Heyuan to go over and sit.

The speed of the artemia worm passing underneath was very fast, and after a while, Shan Heyuan felt the chair under him flick slightly, and with the familiar weightlessness, his eyes flickered, and the person had been spit out of the artemia and fell smoothly onto the street.

After spitting out the person in a bloody mouth, it flashed and disappeared again.

Not far in front is the disciple center of Taihemen.

This is also the center of the town of Jingzhishan, where pedestrians come and go, and even monks can be seen swooping down from the sky and sweeping into the disciple center.

The two walked over.

After entering the disciple center, the two of them went to the task office to hand in the task first.

Behind the high counter, the disciple wearing the Taihemen costume took the mission voucher and Shan Heyuan's identity charm, and looked at Shan Heyuan: "Daoyou is the traverser who fell from the gap between time and space last month?" ”

Shan Heyuan nodded.

Question: "How are you staying here?" Still adapting? ”

Shan Heyuan: "I like it very much here, Senior Brother Ma has helped me a lot, and now my life is going well." ”

Question: "That's good." In that case, I will settle the task for this senior brother, and his task of leading you to familiarize yourself with this world will be completely completed? ”

Shan Heyuan: "Okay, thank you. ”

Ma Rupei also thanked him beside him.

The disciple smiled: "You're welcome." I see that you are still a mortal, and when you become a monk, remember to use the identity charm to change your identity information. ”

Shan Heyuan responded.

The disciple said, "Can you take back this month's allowance together?" The subsidy of 3,000 spirit beads for foreign monks and the subsidy of 125 spirit beads for mortals is a total of 3,125. ”

After the matter was done, standing at the door of the disciple center, Ma Rupei asked, "I'll send you back?" ”

Shan Heyuan: "No, I want to go to the public library, and I'll go back by myself." ”

Ma Rupei: "Then I'll go back first." Although the mission is over, we are still friends, if you encounter anything, you can send me a messenger, you're welcome. ”

Shan Heyuan's heart warmed: "Got it, thank you, Senior Brother Ma." ”

The two said goodbye, and Shan Heyuan walked to the public library.

He first took out the "Introduction to Planting Charms (Part I)" he borrowed last time from his shoulder bag and returned it, and then borrowed "Introduction to Planting Charms (Part II)", all of which are the works of Master Shanlai.

After borrowing the books, he also went to buy a new book and pen, and he also had to copy down the whole book of "Introduction to Planting Charms (II)", especially some runes, so as not to forget them after reading them.

It's a pity that he is shy in his pocket, and this set of books needs five hundred and thirty-eight spirit beads, otherwise he would have to buy it anyway.
