Chapter Fifty-Six: Cultivating the Spring Valley

Zhang Di did not answer, but unhurriedly controlled the floating clouds above his head, and watered the entire strip of Lingtian about a foot wide, and then nodded with satisfaction, shook the bracelet, and suddenly the spiritual light disappeared, and the floating clouds that were raining above his head gradually dissipated.

Only then did he turn his face and glance at Song Bin, and replied, "This is what my master's old donkey gave me when he left, and this spirit hoe was also left to me by him." Today, I will use this spiritual hoe to hoe the ground, so that you new disciples know what it means to respect others, and don't look down on others anymore!"

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the spirit hoe with both hands and poured all the qi and blood of his whole body into it, and the spirit hoe suddenly buzzed, emitting a dazzling spiritual light.

With a sudden, the spirit hoe drew an arc and fell, landing precisely on the freshly watered field, and suddenly a large piece of soil turned up, and at the same time spewed out a large stream of spiritual energy.

Zhang Di didn't show off any skills, paused for a moment, luckily, raised the spirit hoe again, and planed it down again, this time a large piece of dirt turned up, digging a straight ridge along the previous pit.

The new disciples watching around were dumbfounded, for the first time they saw someone who could dig such a deep and large pit at once, this hoe was almost worthy of someone else's three hoes, although Zhang Di did not plane continuously, but he planed down after a while, the landing point was accurate, and the pit dug was generally deep, and the efficiency was not worse than the second strike, and even faster to some extent.

When Song Bin saw this, he suddenly came to his senses and shouted, "You cheat......! You have watered the fields with spiritual rain, and the fields are wet, and you have taken advantage of me by hoeing the fields!"

Zhang Di glanced at him and said, "Oh, do we stipulate in advance that we are not allowed to use spiritual rain to irrigate?" As he spoke, his subordinates did not stop, and two hoes fell to the ground.

Song Bin gritted his teeth, his face became ugly, and then he realized that he had been fooled, and he didn't expect Zhang Di to master the spirit control bracelet, the cheapest one of this thing also costs 30 spirit stones, and he needs the support of spirit stones to use on weekdays, he feels sorry for the spirit stones, although he has been promoted to the second grade of Lingnong, but he has not been willing to buy one, he always feels that this thing is only a third-grade Lingnong can afford to use, but he didn't think that Zhang Di is just a first-grade Lingnong, and he has already used it, and immediately scolded Zhang Di in his heart for being treacherous, and at the same time envious.

As soon as he saw this, the speed of the hoe increased greatly, and he was so anxious and angry that he didn't care about saying anything, so he hurriedly picked up the hoe and slashed desperately.

The two hoeed one after another, but they still gradually widened the gap, the smell of the land was long, and relying on the advantage that the Lingtian was moist and easy to hoe, it only took one meal to finish a ridge of land.

At this time, Song Bin was only halfway done, his face was red and his ears were red, he was sweating profusely, and the new disciples around him were also dumbfounded, and no one spoke.

Zhang Di slapped his face and said lightly: "Senior Brother Song, I will give in!" I see that your hoeing skills are good, so I will ask you to hoe this field in good condition, turn around and call me, I will go back to the house to rest first. As he spoke, he turned around and wanted to walk.

Song Bin's black face turned red instantly, and he suddenly shouted: "Zhang Di, you are cheating! I don't accept it!" roared, strode from behind to catch up, picked up the hoe and was about to smash it into the back of Zhang Di's heart.

After a while, Zhang Di turned around suddenly, looked at him coldly, and shouted: "What are you going to do? I am now the personal disciple of Deputy Hall Master Hao, you should call me a little uncle, do you respect the teacher so much?

Song Bin trembled, his eyes showed a look of jealousy, and he slowly withdrew the spirit hoe, speechless for a while.

Zhang Di pointed at the other new disciples who were looking at him, and said sharply: "And you, you dare to occupy my master's spiritual field, hmph! How can you let you be so cheap?

"Yes, yes, let's listen to Uncle Xiao, we must do a good job. Several people were so frightened that they hurriedly ran down the mountain to get the spirit hoe, and hurriedly hoeed the ground.

Zhang Di put his hands behind his back, no longer bothered them, and turned around and went back to the house alone, leaving Song Bin, whose face was blue and his chest was so angry that his chest fluctuated violently, to the local area.

After entering the door, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he thought: "After this incident, I finally taught this group a lesson, in the future, everyone will live together on the same mountain, and I should not come to trouble me again, and I can study farming and cultivation with peace of mind." ”

Then he flipped his wrist, took off the spirit control bracelet, opened the secret door and took a look, only to see that a piece of water blue spirit stone had already consumed one-tenth, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "This spirit control bracelet is really not something that ordinary people can afford!"

It turns out that the spirit stone is not an ordinary spirit stone, but a water spirit stone that can use water spells, the spirit stone is divided into five elements, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the general spirit stone has not been purified, mixed with the aura of the five elements. However, if you want to use a water-based spell like Xiaoyunyu Technique, you need to install a water-based spirit stone, and a water-based spirit stone needs three ordinary spirit stones to exchange, so it is expensive, and it is not something that ordinary spirit farmers can afford, and only three spirit farmers or above can afford such a cost.

As for the principle of the spirit control bracelet, it is very mysterious, it is to pre-engrave a certain spell on the miniature array disk, and then put it into the spirit control bracelet, and the spirit stone acts as an energy output. When the refiner uses it, he silently recites the spell in his mouth and inputs the power of qi and blood, which can be stimulated, but if he wants to control the spell smoothly and succeeds, it is very difficult, and he needs to practice a lot, after all, this is not the immortal master directly releasing the spell, and the success rate is not high.

In the past month, Zhang Di has studied the method of carving the formation every day, that is, the use of the spirit control bracelet, and I don't know if it is because of the improvement of cultivation, the Xiaoyunyu technique, which should have been difficult to master, took only a month to basically master it, and as soon as he made a move in front of everyone, he was a great success, and finally did not drop the chain, and he was also secretly refreshed in his heart.

Pretending to rest in the house, it is estimated that those people should finish hoeing, so they walked out with the Linggu bag and the second-hand array plate they bought, only to see those new disciples who were tired and sweating, and when they saw him, they nodded their heads and shouted, "Uncle Xiao".

Zhang Di nodded, his eyes swept away, but he didn't see Song Bin here, thinking that he couldn't wipe his face, so he avoided it alone, so he didn't pay attention to it. When I went to the field, I saw several furrows, neatly hoeed, and watered with spiritual water, and the soil was thoroughly watered.

Zhang Di was very satisfied, and said to those new disciples: "You have done a good job, I am going to sow the Spirit Valley next, if you want to learn, just watch it from the sidelines!"

Those people were overjoyed and shouted, "Thank you Uncle Xiao for your advice, we must study hard." ”

Zhang Di was secretly amused, where did he really want to teach these people, wasn't it to pass on through their mouths, his uniqueness in farming, and pave the way for him to enter the inner hall of Linggu smoothly in the future! Of course, this is also a kind of trick, if there is Hao Ren's eyeliner surveillance, it will also make them mistakenly think that they are just farming honestly.

At the same time, in the woods on the opposite hill, the black-clothed man named Ah Ming was clasping his hands in the sleeves of his robe, his eyes flashing brightly, staring closely at Zhang Di's side, and the yellow bird rested on his shoulder.

After observing for a full hour, the sky was getting dark, and the man said to the bird: "It's your turn to monitor at night, remember if there is anything wrong, come and tell me at any time, I have to keep an eye on the young master, lest he go out at night to mess around." ”

After chirping twice, the bird nodded, and spread its wings and flew to the hill on the other side of Zhangdi.

Ah Ming stared for another moment, and said to himself: "This kid is a bit evil in farming, interesting!" The figure suddenly moved, and the whole person disappeared into the darkness out of thin air, only the rustling footsteps gradually faded away.

"Well, that's it, the array is buried here, and the Linggu is planted on the ridge at an interval of one foot, which can prevent waterlogging and ventilation, and this bamboo frame will attract fertilizer drop by drop, which will provide nutrients for each Linggu plant in the future, which is more fertilizer-saving than the traditional fertilization method, which is called 'drip irrigation'. Zhang Di stood in the field, pointing out the results of the afternoon's busy work, and patiently explained to the new disciples.

"This is drip irrigation?" This new term made the eyes of those new disciples light up, like a chicken pecking rice, and one of them asked more cleverly: "Little uncle, is drip irrigation effective? Why haven't I seen other spiritual farmers use it?"

Zhang Di smiled slightly, pointed to a thick bamboo knot, like a pipe, from the direction of the manure tank behind the house, and said: "Drip irrigation is a favorable way to save fertilizer and water, last year my array plate was broken, and I couldn't afford to buy a new array, so I had to erect this bamboo shelf, thinking about attracting fertilizer little by little, and in the way I controlled, drop by drop watering each Linggu." This kind of separate fertilization and watering can save fertilizer and water to the greatest extent!"

The disciples seemed to understand something, and their eyes followed Zhang Di's fingers, falling from the thick bamboo joints, and saw countless bamboo joints with the thickness of little thumbs extending down and hanging low to each newly sown Linggu pit, and suddenly they suddenly realized, and shouted one after another: "Wonderful! Wonderful! It turns out that these bamboo shelves are used for this!"

Zhang Di smiled and nodded: "I also have no way, other Lingnong don't use it, maybe I disdain this practice! Of course, how to control the amount of drip irrigation, this is very particular, if you don't grasp the dead seedlings well, the risk is also quite large, ordinary Lingnong dare not experiment, right?"

The disciples immediately looked at Zhang Di with admiring eyes, and the implication was that this little uncle was not an ordinary spiritual farmer!

One of the disciples was itchy when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Junior, then you can demonstrate it!"

"Alright!" Zhang Di smiled and nodded, led them to the manure tank at the back of the house, connected the pipes, checked the valves to control the flow, and then inserted one of the thickest bamboos into the manure tank.

Seeing the bubbling bubbles, a strange smell mixed with plant ash and giant crane dung wafted out, and the disciples sniffed their noses one after another, their eyes lit up, and some of them shouted: "It's so fragrant! This fat is in place, I have never smelled such a fragrant fertilizer!"

Zhang Di smiled slightly, his eyes stared at the manure tank without blinking, and saw that the dung water that had been soaked long ago was squeezed into the bamboo under the action of pressure, and flowed down the pipe to the spiritual field in front of the house.

He turned around and came to the big tree next to the spiritual field, where a large round wooden barrel had been placed in advance, which was filled with spiritual water taken from the bottom of the mountain, and he stepped forward and twisted the valve, so a thin stream slowly flowed out, and collected along the bamboo pipe to the central pipe, mixing and diluting fertilizer water according to a certain ratio.

Zhang Di explained, while operating, and when everyone watched with expectant eyes, he twisted the valve, stopped for a moment, and then heard a pop, it seemed that the pressure suddenly penetrated, and countless tiny bamboo knots began to drip and drip fertilizer water, falling into the Linggu pit that had just been sown in the afternoon.

"Wow! Success!" These new disciples applauded and cheered, everyone felt that they had gained a lot, this approachable and knowledgeable little uncle was really powerful, much stronger than the pretentious Song Bin.

Seeing the joy of these disciples from the bottom of his heart, a smile also appeared on Zhang Di's face, he devoted himself to studying Qi Min's key techniques, and finally practiced it today, and was recognized by others, and he was sincerely happy in his heart.

At this time, he raised his head, stared at the gradually dimming sky, saw that there were stars shining, and silently said in his heart: "Second uncle, master, have you seen it? I used Qi Min's technique to farm, and finally took the first step, so you can wait and see!" Then his gaze fell, intentionally or unintentionally sweeping over the bushes not far away.

Song Bin was hiding in the bushes, his eyes looking straight over, the hatred and ridicule on his face gradually disappeared, and it was replaced by a trace of surprise and admiration.

It turned out that he couldn't wipe his face in the afternoon, and walked away in disgrace, but he wanted to see how Zhang Di farmed, so he sneaked back again, hid here and witnessed the whole process, and at this time he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "This kid has two strokes! Where did he learn this drip irrigation method, can it really save fertilizer and water, and increase yield?"

After a moment's pause, he suddenly came to his senses, "It's not good, I have to report to Uncle Hao quickly! If Zhang Di really succeeds in experimenting with the new farming method, then he will be a blockbuster!"
