Chapter 6 The Affair of the North Slope
Jing Baihong's Lingtian is adjacent to the south slope and the north slope, the terrain is relatively high, and the quality of the Lingtian is also better than below.
Wei Hua retracted his gaze suspiciously, and followed Jing Baihong into the courtyard, which was very neat and clean, and there was a stone table and four stone benches under a pear tree in the courtyard.
Jing Baihong pointed to the stone benches: "Senior Brother Wei, it's cool outside, let's drink tea here, sit casually, I'll prepare tea!"
"Okay!" Wei Hua sat casually on the stone bench.
After a while, Jing Baihong walked out of the room, holding a plate in her hand with a tea set on it.
"I don't usually have any hobbies, I just like to sit under the tree and drink tea. Jing Baihong said as she placed the tea set on the stone table.
"Senior brother is elegant, I'm just a big old man, I'm afraid I'll spoil my senior brother's good tea!"
Wei Hua watched him fiddle, he didn't expect it to be so troublesome to drink tea, and he didn't think it was very refreshing.
"How can it be ruined, the junior brother can come to give me face. Come, try this 'Begonia Spring', I don't usually take out this tea from outsiders. ”
Wei Hua took the teacup, only to feel a light fragrance of tea wafting into his nose, and his originally tired body was shocked.
This is actually spiritual tea!
He glanced at Jing Baihong with a smile on the other side in surprise, spiritual tea is not cheap, this senior brother took out such a high-quality spiritual tea to entertain himself, is it for the five acres of spiritual field?
Wei Hua took a sip of tea suspiciously, the fragrance was fragrant, the lips and teeth were fragrant, the tea was moist and refreshing in his throat, and a faint vitality of heaven and earth penetrated into his dantian.
"Good tea, Senior Brother Jing, you don't want me to help you water those five acres of spiritual field for free when you take such a good tea!" Wei Hua said half-truthfully.
"Hahaha, Senior Brother Wei is really joking, this tea is for entertaining Senior Brother, watering Lingtian is another matter. Rest assured to drink tea, it won't be short of your sprinkling money!" Jing Baihong laughed.
"Hehe, then I'm welcome, don't say it, I used a little bit of force before, but now I'm a little tired, and this tea can just ease it. Wei Hua laughed at himself, picked up the cup and tasted it slowly.
"I have seen Senior Brother Wei's ability, it is amazing, Senior Brother, I can't catch up with the horse!" Jing Baihong sighed and said.
"Senior brother praised, I'm just practice makes perfect!"
"Senior brother doesn't need to be modest, by the way, I entered the Spirit Plant Academy with the first grade of the three systems of gold, water, and earth, and what are the departments that my junior brother is cultivating?"
Wei Hua looked up at Jing Baihong opposite, but there was nothing to hide: "I am cultivating the three systems of water, wood, and earth spirit planting techniques!"
Jing Baihong's eyes flashed with a gleam, and she took a sip of tea: "I have seen Senior Brother's [Water Spirit Technique], I wonder if the other two systems can also achieve the same level as before?"
Wei Hua didn't know what Jing Baihong's purpose was, but obviously it wasn't for the five acres of spiritual land in front of the house, so he thought about it: "Almost!"
"Really! that's great!" Jing Baihong looked delighted.
"Senior Brother Jing might as well say it directly. ”
Jing Baihong took another sip of tea before slowly saying, "Senior brother also saw it before he came in, in fact, my few acres of land are not busy watering for the time being. ”
Wei Hua nodded, waiting for him to continue.
"Hehe, to tell you the truth, I knew a few days ago that a large amount of [Five Elements Plate] was going to be borrowed from the north slope, so I made preparations in advance, and there was no problem if Lingtian didn't water it for three or five days. ”
Seeing that Wei Hua was still indifferent, he said, "Senior brother is not curious why the north slope has borrowed so many [Five Element Plates], and has borrowed them for three days in a row?"
Wei Hua took a sip of tea, not in a hurry or impatient: "Isn't Senior Brother Jing telling me later?"
"Hahaha, Senior Brother Wei is really a wonderful person, yes, this time I invited Senior Brother over just for this matter. ”
"I don't know what went wrong on the north slope, first there were a large number of green-eyed aphids in the spiritual field, and they were cleaned up a few days ago, and the ground insects were found again. And the number is so large that it has spread to the entire north slope of 500 acres of spiritual fields. ”
Wei Hua was startled when he heard this, the ground insects are one of the two major pests that harm the growth of Linggu, and they are even more difficult to deal with than the other big pest, the green-eyed aphid. These guys grow under the Lingtian and feed on the roots of the Linggu, which is extremely destructive to the Linggu.
Because they grow underground, ordinary methods basically can't deal with them, and they can only be strangled by using [Earth Spirit Magic] to hook the earth qi and force them to the top.
In addition to gnawing at the roots of the Spirit Valley, another major hazard is that when the number is large, a spider web-like channel is formed underground, and the watered water is instantly infiltrated into the ground when it falls into the spirit field, so that the Spirit Valley cannot absorb enough water, which is also the main reason why so many [Five Element Plates] are mobilized on the north slope.
Because the Lingtian could not retain the water that was watered at all, it was necessary to constantly sprinkle the Linggu to ensure that they absorbed the water to maintain normal growth.
Generally, the spirit planter deals with the insects after harvesting, so that the soil can be broken and these guys can be pulled out of the soil directly. But now that it is the time of the Linggu heading, it is obviously not possible to break the ground, and the ordinary junior Lingzhifu has no ability to force them out of the ground, only a Lingzhifu with a second-grade [Earth Spirit] can do it.
Qingyang Sect is just a small sect with more than 1,000 people, and there are only eleven middle-level spirit planters in the entire sect, because there is a lack of second-grade [Earth Spirit Technique] in the sect, so none of these eleven people have cultivated the second-grade [Earth Spirit Technique], so they can only stand on the side and do it in a hurry, and there is no way at all.
"What does my brother mean when I say these words..."
"Don't hide it from my junior brother, Senior Brother Lu on the northern slope is my cousin, these days I see that he is so anxious about this matter that he has lost more than a dozen pounds, I want to help but I don't have that ability, if my brother's [Earth Spirit] can have the same heat as [Water Spirit], I want to ask my cousin to help, rest assured, I will never let my junior brother work hard in vain." After Jing Baihong finished speaking, she looked at Wei Hua nervously.
Lu Zhengyang, the steward of the northern slope, is his cousin, and whether he can live comfortably in the Qingyang Sect will depend more on this powerful cousin in the Lingzhi Academy in the future, so he is absolutely unwilling to see that this incident affects Lu Zhengyang's status in the Lingzhi Academy, so he did not hesitate to take out the long-cherished Lingcha 'Begonia Spring' to entertain Wei Hua.
Jing Baihong saw that Wei Hua on the other side did not reply for a long time, and stood up anxiously: "Senior brother, I have to help no matter what this time, it can be regarded as a favor owed by senior brother to junior brother." ”
Wei Hua hurriedly stood up: "Senior Brother Jing, I don't know if it's okay, do you think this is good! I'll go and see first, if I can help, let's talk about something else?"
"No problem, Senior Brother Wei, you are also tired this morning, go back to rest first, I'll go talk to my cousin, how about going to see you later?" Jing Baihong breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Wei Hua had agreed to go and have a look.
