132 Bamboo House, Farming
In addition to arranging the usual miscellaneous servants, the "Comprehensive Affairs Hall" also has an important role, that is, arranging the residence of new disciples.
Naturally, there is a mysterious place in this residence, and the residence of the disciples of the Qingdan Sect is usually in the same place as the place where they planted their fields. There are hundreds of large and small hills around Qingquan Peak, and there are obvious differences in the intensity of spiritual energy, and the direct result is that the effect of spiritual grass cultivation on these mountains is completely different.
Sun Yuming led Ye Qin into the Comprehensive Affairs Hall, which had more than ten deacon disciples. Sun Yuming directly took him to find a chubby Senior Brother Wang and arranged a place for Ye Qin to live.
"Two senior brothers, junior brother, I don't have much money, so I can only take out two lower grade spirit stones. You can do it, just arrange it for me a little bit. ”
Ye Qin "revealed" a wry smile and took out two lower-grade spirit stones from his arms. Although Sun Yuming had already hinted at him in advance, if he wanted to live on the mountain with strong spiritual energy, he had to give a lot of spirit stones. He still didn't plan to come out with too many spirit stones. Not to mention that he doesn't have many spirit stones on him now, even if he does, he doesn't plan to let others know his money, so as not to worry about it all the time. He was a fifth-level monk in the Qi refining period, and he couldn't help but worry about others. Taking out two spirit stones, he will not offend the two senior brothers, and he will not be remembered by them.
Sun Yuming, as well as Senior Brother Wang, saw that Ye Qin only "honored" two spirit stones, and they were immediately a little disappointed.
Around Qingquan Peak, the hills with strong spiritual energy are all rushed by everyone, and they have to arrange a slightly high-grade place to live, not to mention that they have to stuff ten spirit stones. If you want better, you have to pay even more. There are only two lower-grade spirit stones, where is enough.
The chubby Senior Brother Wang shook his head secretly at Sun Yuming, a poor monk who didn't make much money. Sun Yuming was helpless, he didn't expect this Senior Brother Ye to be so poor, and he wasted his tongue for half a day.
However, since Ye Qin gave two spirit stones, less money is also money.
This Senior Brother Wang took a scroll of "Map of Qingquan Mountain" in his hand and injected mana, and a small illusory terrain near Qingquan Mountain appeared in front of Ye Qin. This illusory map is very realistic, overlooking the entire Qingquan Mountain.
"Pick a place on it, the red dots are occupied, and the white ones are uninhabited. "The place above this scroll is full of places where the aura is thinnest. Ye Qin gave two spirit stones, and the only benefit he got was that he could choose any place to live in from these places.
Ye Qin looked at the map for a while. He found that there were several hills that were densely packed with red dots. Some hills, but there are a few red dots alone. There are also a few hills, almost all white.
"This is the place!"
He pointed to a small, white hill.
Senior Brother Wang pinched the law in his hand, and quickly marked a red dot on the map scroll, marking the name of the occupant, and that red dot was within a radius of one mile, and from now on it would be inhabited by Ye Qin.
Sun Yuming took Ye Qin to familiarize himself with the environment, and after arranging the place to live, he hurriedly went to busy his own affairs. "Senior Brother Ye, I'm busy preparing for Xiaobi in half a year, so I won't accompany Senior Brother. You're pretty much familiar with the situation here, so do the rest. ”
"Thank you, brother, for mentioning. ”
Ye Qin was very grateful, this Senior Brother Sun spent half a day taking him around the halls everywhere, and explained everything to him clearly. He was so enthusiastic that he was very grateful in his heart.
Sun Yuming's face turned red, and he waved his hand and said, "You're welcome." I'm also doing chores for the sect. You can do it once a year, and there is a spirit stone to take, but it's a small fat shortage. If you have any problems, you can come to me. However, it is only within half a month. After half a month, I don't have this time, and I have to prepare for the year-end Xiaobi wholeheartedly. ”
"Then I won't bother Senior Brother Sun. ”
Ye Qin arched his hand and said suspiciously: "By the way, what is this Xiaobi?"
Senior Brother Sun Yuming said with a smile: "Xiaobi, Dabi, is the most grand event in my Qingdanmen. My Qingdan Sect will hold a small competition every three years to compete in the three major items of 'Cultivation Technique, Alchemy Technique, and Fighting Technique', and eight thousand Qi refining disciples are eligible to participate.
A big competition is held every nine years, and only 200 disciples in the foundation building period are eligible to participate.
The top 300 in Xiaobi will have a reward. The rewards are eye-catching, and the future of our Qi refining stage disciples is all on this small comparison. Senior brother, I participated in the planting competition, and you will come to cheer for your senior brother when the time comes!
However, I'm afraid you won't have this opportunity to participate in Xiaobai for the time being. The end of the year is Xiaobi, there is still a month or two to go, and you can't prepare now. And three years later, it happened to be Dabi, and the monks of the foundation building period were eligible to participate. Six years later, the small competition will be carried out again. But that's fine, after six years, you'll have almost planted a lot of spiritual grass and are eligible to participate in the competition. ”
Senior Brother Sun Yuming explained and left quickly
Ye Qin came to the beast hall of Qingquan Peak, rented a docile and domesticated two-headed eagle dove to ride, and flew to an unknown hill called "Qingzhu Mountain" hundreds of miles away from Qingquan Peak. This hill is dozens of zhang high, seven or eight miles in a circle, the mountain is covered with patches of iron-blue bamboo forests, each of which is as thick as an arm, and it has grown for an unknown number of thousands of years, and it is extremely tough.
Ye Qin jumped down from the eagle dove and let it fly back to the beast hall by itself.
Then, carrying a backpack with axes, ropes, hoes and other tools, he found a slightly flat place halfway up the Qingzhu Mountain, and prepared to cut down the bamboo forest here and build a bamboo house.
But I found that this bamboo forest was surprisingly hard, and the iron axe couldn't be cut, and when the axe was chopped down, a little spark came out with a "bell".
Ye Qin was stunned for a moment, took out a low-grade golden spirit sword, and cut it with the sharpest golden spirit sword, instilling mana and cutting it down with a sword, it was only a third of these hard bamboos.
It took several days to cut down hundreds of bamboos, cut off the branches and leaves, and built a rudimentary bamboo house from them. In front of the bamboo house, where the bamboo forest was cut down, a small field was opened up for planting spiritual grass.
Ye Qin was exhausted, looking at the small bamboo house that he had spent several days building, full of a sense of accomplishment.
He chose to live in this Qingzhu Mountain purely because there were no other fellow disciples living on this mountain. The reason why there are no disciples of the Qingdanmen living here is obviously because the aura of this hill is too thin, which is not conducive to the cultivation of spiritual grass.
He didn't care about Sun Yuming and the shocked looks of Senior Brother Wang.
"Anyway, the good places with strong aura have long been seized and divided by the same senior brothers. The rest of the place is very ordinary, and the difference between the rich aura is not too big. It's not comfortable to share a hill with someone else's fellow door. Just find the worst place, and others won't bother. ”
Ye Qin smiled self-deprecatingly, he monopolized this Qingzhu Mountain, no one interfered, and he could meditate and cultivate. As for whether this land is suitable for planting spiritual grass, what does it matter to him!
After choosing this place, he went to the small market of Qingquan Peak again, spent a piece of spirit stone to buy axes, hoes, knives and other utensils, and exchanged for a small package of seeds of some spiritual herbs. There were more than twenty or thirty seeds, which were very cheap, and it only cost three spirit stones.
This small bazaar is near the main hall square, and it was built by the disciples of Qingquan Peak themselves, so that it can be used to exchange goods.
Once you've purchased all the items you need.
Ye Qin rented a bird in the Spirit Beast Hall of Qingquan Peak and flew directly to the small hill of Qingzhu Mountain. It took a few days to build a small bamboo house here. And began to cultivate the fields and plant spiritual grass.
According to Senior Brother Sun Yuming, after each disciple of the Qingdan Sect enters, he will be divided into a piece of land. Later, after the disciples of Qingdanmen were assigned a place of residence, in the next few decades, they would mainly rely on this one-third of an acre of land to live.
Alchemy and earning spirit stones all rely on the spiritual grass grown in this field.
There are some disciples in the sect who have opened up large tracts of herbal medicine fields, usually taking care of these fields, improving their cultivation skills, and then selling all kinds of spiritual grasses they have grown in exchange for spirit stones, spirit pills and other items for cultivation. However, it is not easy to plant a large area of herbs, just picking up the spiritual spring water every day to water the spiritual grass, it is tiring enough.
There are also some disciples who are not proficient in cultivation techniques, and specialize in exercising their alchemy, relying on spirit pills to exchange spiritual grass.
Of course, there are still a very small number of disciples who have poor talent and qualifications in cultivation and alchemy, so they simply neither plant nor alchemy, but resell them, buying cheap spirit grass from some disciples who grow spirit grass and selling it to disciples who are in urgent need of spirit grass alchemy.
After all, there are thousands of disciples in the sect, and many of them are immersed in cultivation and alchemy, and they have no intention of spending any effort on buying and selling, so they simply leave it to these merchant disciples.
However, this kind of "businessman-type" disciple, although he can occasionally make some money by reselling, the future of cultivating immortals is worrying. If you don't have a skill in planting, alchemy, refining, etc., it is difficult to go far on the path of immortality.
Ye Qin sowed a few seeds in front of his bamboo house, sprinkled a few seeds, and watered the water of the spiritual spring brought from the mountain behind Qingquan Peak.
Subsequently, he planted a cheap small formation flag in each of the four corners of the field, which was engraved with a protective formation to expel birds and beasts, so that the seeds would not be eaten by birds and beasts. The spiritual aura of these small flags is very weak, and they can only be used to expel small beasts. Fortunately, within a thousand miles of this Qingdan Mountain Range, it has almost been cleaned up by the senior monk sect a long time ago, and there are very few demon beasts. He didn't have to worry about this spirit grass being eaten by demon beasts.
After a few years, decades, and the spiritual grass in the field gradually grows and matures, you need to be seriously wary of possible demon beasts.
Most of the spirit grasses take a minimum of one or two years, as little as three or five years, as many as decades, and even some take hundreds or thousands of years to mature. The higher the vintage, the stronger the spiritual power medicine, and the more valuable it is.
In Qingdanmen, the older the monk, the more financial resources he has. Those one or two hundred years old foundation building stage cultivators, they started cultivating spiritual herbs from the very beginning, and they had a lot of spiritual herbs with hundreds of years of medicinal power in their hands, which were very valuable.
And for a new Qi Refining Stage cultivator, after planting the seeds of the spirit grass, they need to wait slowly for them to mature, and they will have to endure for decades before they have a chance to emerge.
Ye Qin naturally didn't need to rely on this field to grow herbs. However, now that he has joined the Qingdan Sect, what an ordinary disciple should do is always to do it enough, so as not to make others suspicious for no reason.
While cutting down bamboo forests on Qingzhu Mountain, he cultivated several acres of fields and sprinkled spiritual grass seeds. Watered with a spiritual spring. After these spirit grass seeds germinated and grew, he left it alone.
In my free time, I went to the library and bought a book on the cultivation of the cheapest spirit grass.
As an ordinary Tsing Yi disciple, there is no designated master, and he usually relies on self-cultivation, and the sect does not control much. Only those who are outstanding will be accepted as apprentices by some uncles and uncles in the foundation building period, and become blue-clothed disciples, who will be valued and specially cultivated.
Ye Qin made up his mind like this, and it was difficult for a disciple who cultivated in a low-key manner to enter the eyes of a certain uncle
He and Senior Brother Sun Yuming have occasional contact. A few days later, Ye Qin was busy cultivating land on Qingzhu Mountain. A golden transmission note suddenly flew from the sky, and Sun Yuming's lazy voice:
"Senior Brother Ye, Senior Uncle Zhao sent his disciples to Xianyuan City yesterday to investigate your origin, suspecting that there is something wrong with your origin. But no matter how I look at it, I don't see anything wrong with it. Senior Brother Ye, are you offending Senior Uncle Zhao in some way? This Senior Uncle Zhao is a monk of a big family, and he looks down on us casual cultivators. Let's be a brother, brother, I can't watch you being caught by Uncle Zhao. Try to be as calm as possible, don't make an accident, and don't get caught by Uncle Zhao. Also, the mountains and factions in our Qingdanmen are extremely complicated, and the fighting between the factions is fierce, so don't get involved. Brother, I've been in the mountains for more than ten years, and I haven't figured out the doorway inside. Those of us who have no one behind us to support the loose cultivation, we have to hold a group, we must be firm, and others will fight the law, let's just watch the excitement. Senior brother, I've been very busy in the past few months, so I won't come to see you much, so be careful with yourself. ”
When Ye Qin got this situation, he was depressed and a little helpless.
"What can I do to offend Uncle Zhao is that when I first started, he estimated that I was a casual cultivator, and he had gathered the thirty rare spirit grasses needed for the entry, and he was a little suspicious that the way was wrong. ”
However, Senior Brother Sun's letter came in time, otherwise he wouldn't know that Uncle Zhao was checking his details, so he had to be cautious.
Ye Qin thought for a moment.
Now he still has dozens of lower-grade spirit stones brought from Xianyuan City, which is enough to be planted in the Purple Mansion for several months. The special elixir "Naqi Dan" formula from the fourth to the sixth layer of the qi refining period, and the seeds of the three-flavored spirit grass "one-leaf grass, Lanzhi grass, and cirrus grass" required to refine this elixir were also purchased in the Dan Hall and the small bazaar of Qingquan Peak.
He retreated in a self-built bamboo hut in Qingzhu Mountain, an unnamed hill near Qingquan Peak, and used a copper sand alchemy furnace to make alchemy. All the elixirs are taken by themselves, and not a single pill is sold. After all, he was a new monk, and he had just planted the spirit grass, so he used the refined spirit pill to sell, which was a bit too popular. After the limelight passed, it was not too late for him to slowly find a way to get some spirit stones back.
