Chapter Seventy-Four: The Elixir

The plump ears of rice in the flower valley are ripening, and the air is filled with the fragrance of rice.

Sun Wukong took a look at it and knew in his heart that the yield of this batch of rice was higher than that of other rice, and it could be regarded as a finished product.

Taishang Laojun carefully observed the slender and long rice, and after observing for a long time, he still had no clue.

"This is mortal rice, and it couldn't be more ordinary. Taishang Laojun was sure that he had not missed anything, and asked, "What is so special about it that it can create such merits?"

Sun Wukong replied with a smile: "It has a higher yield than ordinary rice." ”

Taishang Laojun was stunned, he didn't know how much rice production was in general.

"How much higher?"

He asked again.

Sun Wukong estimated: "About two percent." ”

He didn't know the specific value, but he had some understanding of rice, and at first glance, excluding the Huaguo Mountain aura bonus, the yield should have increased by about two percent.

"Twenty percent?"

Taishang Laojun understood.

It is not much to increase by 20% per plant, but rice is never one.

After the rice harvest of one acre of land is completed, the rice can also gather into a hill and increase the yield by two percent, which is actually a lot.

Taishang Laojun pinched his fingers and calculated, if the rice yield of the four continents could be increased by 20%, the amount would be even more amazing, enough to feed the population of several more countries.

"Great creation, great creation!"

Taishang Laojun praised twice in a row, and when he first came to Huaguo Mountain, Huaguo Mountain gave him a big surprise.

These rices alone, if they can be promoted, the merits of their creation are enough to make the flower spirits of the Flower Valley forever free from the invasion of evil spirits, and even after a long time, they can also feather and fly immortals.

Taishang Laojun also noticed that Sun Wukong was also surrounded by golden light, he said that rice was cultivated by flower essences, but this rice work is probably half of his.

"In the future, I am afraid that his merits will not be inferior to mine. ”

Taishang Laojun thought in his heart, but did not say it.

He asked Sun Wukong about the cultivation method of rice.

It's just a rice in the mortal world, without a trace of immortal breath, how did Sun Wukong create them.

Sun Wukong told Taishang Laojun about the process.

It took the flower spirits twenty years and countless experiments, and the results they got today did not surprise Sun Wukong.

However, Taishang Laojun felt incredibleβ€”after all, in the eyes of the immortals, twenty years was only twenty days.

"Are we really too loose?"

Taishang Laojun couldn't help but think.

He then asked, "Can these rice plants be saved?"

"Yes. ”

Sun Wukong nodded: "It's just that after keeping the seeds, the yield will not be maintained, so the seeds have to be purchased from Huaguo Mountain." ”

"It's hard. ”

Taishang Laojun shook his head.

Compared with the increase in production, the cost of Huaguoshan's seeds is not high, and nearby countries will definitely be happy to buy them.

But for countries further afield, it is difficult to popularize it given the cost of transportation.

Taishang Laojun asked Sun Wukong if he had any countermeasures.

"What's so hard about transporting seeds?"

Sun Wukong couldn't help laughing, Huaguo Mountain and the human countries of the four continents have spiritual object trade, plus the rice seeds are not as small as other items, and the price is low, it is not difficult for merchants to bring more.

The situation will not be as bad as Taishang Laojun said, but of course, it is impossible to fully popularize it in a short period of time.

"Is Lao Jun interested in rice?"

Sun Wukong asked: "If you are interested, I will give the technology and the mother breed to Lao Jun, and Lao Jun will teach them to human countries, so that there will be no problem of transportation." ”

Taishang Laojun was taken aback.

He looked at Sun Wukong: "Are you willing to give it to me?"

"Of course. ”

Sun Wukong nodded.

If he wants to increase the productivity of the whole world, he can't care about some petty profits.

As long as the technology is promoted with the help of the power of the immortals, the development of productivity will definitely be much faster than him, and there is no need to worry about the suspicion of the Jade Emperor.

Taishang Laojun was very moved.

Rice is not an ordinary spiritual thing, this is a great merit.

If you use his hand, then Taishang Laojun can also get some merit and incense.

He really didn't expect Sun Wukong to be so broad-minded, compared to him, the gods in the sky have become much more selfish.

Taishang Laojun has a good impression of Sun Wukong: "The Monkey King really deserves the name of a virtuous monkey." ”

"Just call me Goku. ”

Sun Wukong said.

Taishang Laojun was very happy in his heart.

The more he looked at Sun Wukong, the more he liked it, and felt that he was dedicated to goodness, which was really rare.

"This rice is of great benefit to the four continents, but I am disrespectful and deserve it. ”

Taishang Laojun was a little hesitant, but in the end, he took it.

He took out a gourd golden pill from his arms, handed it to Sun Wukong and said, "I didn't bring any elixir with me this time, and these elixirs will be handed over to you." ”

Sun Wukong took the elixir and was a little surprised.

He didn't make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, he originally thought that there would be no peach and elixir, but he thought that they all took the initiative to run over.

In the past twenty years, Zhenyuan Daxian gave him ten peaches and two ginseng fruits, although it is not much, but it is definitely a lot.

Taishang Laojun was even more generous, and when they met, they actually gave a gourd of elixir.

"King, king!" The flower spirits smelled the fragrance of the elixir, and flew over one after another, looking at the gourd with blank eyes: "What kind of elixir is inside, why is it so fragrant?"

Sun Wukong also smelled the fragrance of the elixir, which was an unknown floral fragrance that had a fatal attraction to flower spirits.

Sun Wukong looked at these little goblins, they were the biggest heroes, and he hadn't rewarded them yet.

"That's fine. ”

Sun Wukong opened the gourd, took out the elixir, and distributed them to the flower spirits one by one.

Each flower essence has a limited appetite, and a small elixir is enough. But the flower essences of the entire Flower Valley added up, and they ate all the elixirs in the gourd at once.

After eating the elixir, the mana of the flower essences increased greatly, and even some of the flower essences successfully transformed in front of Sun Wukong and turned into teenagers and girls to express their gratitude to him.

Sun Wukong was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Taishang Laojun.

"You don't have to thank me. ”

Taishang Laojun shook his head and sighed with emotion.

He looked at the flower spirits frolicking and playing in the valley of flowers, and then rose from the clouds and returned to the heavenly palace.

Sun Wukong froze for a moment, not knowing what was going on.

It wasn't until a few days later that Taishang Laojun returned to Huaguo Mountain again, but he had a few more gourds in his hand.

"These are elixirs. ”

Taishang Laojun stuffed the gourd into Sun Wukong's hand: "You don't have to give them to those goblins, they have limited qualifications and can't eat so much, these are all for you." ”
