Chapter 22: The Harvest
A month passed in a blink of an eye, and Tianjiu was almost exhausted and collapsed several times a day, but finally let him suffer the time of the errand. His spirit pigs were only accidentally bitten to death by poisonous insects in the later stage, and the others all grew up, each of which was almost thirty pounds.
Those experimental specimens were slightly smaller than the ones outside, probably less than twenty-five pounds, which may have something to do with the fact that they often run wildly. It's just that it looks as crystal clear as jade, and there is a faint medicinal fragrance all over the body, which makes people feel like they can't put it down.
Tianjiu calculated, in addition to the five experimental items, there were two hundred and sixty-five others, and it was roughly estimated that there were seven or eight thousand catties of spirit pork, which had to be said to be a bumper harvest. According to the rules of that booklet, he can get at least six sect contribution points, plus three hundred low-level spar rewards, I don't know how many holidays he can get.
Thinking of this, Tianjiu's heart became eager. But he didn't forget his promise. Early in the morning, he woke up the little frog and threw the two spirit pigs that had already been stoned to death by himself in front of the little frog.
"Four-eyed field chicken, you eat it and see, which aura is higher?" Tianjiu commanded.
The little frog picked up one excitedly and gnawed wildly.
I saw that as soon as the meat reached its mouth, it automatically divided into a small piece, and disappeared in its mouth with a bang, and the belly flashed a few times, and then it returned to its original state, and the spirit pig under its feet disappeared at a visible speed.
"Slow down, Lao Tzu!, is this only aura?" asked Tianjiu.
The little frog nodded violently, and didn't look at Tianjiu, so angry that Tianjiu trembled, and when there was only one spirit pig's leg left, Tianjiu snatched it away.
"Go, eat the other one, and see how it tastes?" Tianjiu ordered.
The little frog devoured the other one helplessly.
"How is it, do you have an aura?" asked Tianjiu.
The little frog nodded.
"Which one is better?"
The little frog pointed to the spirit pig leg in Tianjiu's hand.
"Four-eyed field chicken, you'd better figure it out, Senior Brother Wu will come to accept it in a while, if you don't qualify, you will be killed! Then I'm not done with you!" Tianjiu pointed to the little frog that was buried in his head and gnawed and said fiercely.
Seeing that the little frog didn't dump him at all, he was so angry that his teeth itched.
I really had no choice but to sit on the grass outside the pigsty and meditate, while waiting for Senior Brother Wu, I tried to calm down.
At noon, a silver streamer appeared in the eastern sky, and Senior Brother Wu came with a flying sword.
Tianjiu immediately stood up and greeted Senior Brother Wu before he landed.
"I've met Senior Brother Wu, you've worked hard!" Tianjiu said with a smile on his fists.
Senior Brother Wu unhurriedly put away his flying sword, flicked his clothes, and glanced at Tianjiu.
"How's the pig harvesting?"
"Thank you for your concern, I am fortunate to live up to my mission!" replied Tianjiu.
He specially didn't release the spirit pig today, and he couldn't see it outside at all.
"Well, that's good!" Senior Brother Wu's face was kind. When I closed my eyes, I seemed to be sensing something, and when I opened them after a while, they were full of color.
"Let's go, let's take a look. After speaking, without waiting for Tianjiu to answer, he turned around and walked towards the innermost house where the spirit pig was placed.
Tianjiu was very surprised, how did Senior Brother Wu know that he had put the Spirit Pig there?
Seeing the room full of sleeping spirit pigs, Senior Brother Wu smiled heartily. He closed his eyes again, and after a few breaths, opened them again.
"Haha! Two hundred and sixty-four, an average of thirty-eight catties each, a total of more than 10,000 catties, good!" Senior Brother Wu was overjoyed.
Tianjiu stood silently and did not say a word.
"Tianjiu, you have made a great contribution this time, I want to apply to the sect to reward you heavily! Good job, good job!" Senior Brother Wu said as he walked into the pigsty, took out a silver needle as thin as a hair, and inserted it into a spirit pig.
Tianjiu's heart thumped, as if falling to the ground. He knew that this was Senior Brother Wu testing the grade of the spirit pig.
Senior Brother Wu inspected more than a dozen spirit pigs in a row, and the silver needle was inserted into the body, but the spirit pig did not react at all. Seeing Senior Brother Wu constantly shaking his head, Tianjiu's heart rose to his throat.
"How...... How is it? Senior Brother Wu, are they all unqualified?"
"Alas, it's not unqualified, it's just that they are all first-class, it seems that this Dongling Mountain can't produce high-grade spirit pigs!" Senior Brother Wu sighed and said.
Seeing that Tianjiu's face was a little pale, he smiled: "Hehe, don't worry, these spirit pigs are qualified, you are already very good, but my heart is too big, and I am delusional about the spirit pigs of the second and third grades." ”
Tian Jiu's hanging heart suddenly relaxed, and unconsciously, a cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Then, Senior Brother Wu, what kind of reward do you think I can get for this?" Tianjiu asked in a low voice.
"Reward, this ......" Senior Brother Wu gasped.
"I can't be Lord so much, I'm going to ask Deacon Shimi. However, according to the new rules, your reward is great, so you can wait for me to report back first. ”
"Then there is Senior Brother Lao Wu! No hurry, no hurry!" Tianjiu hurriedly replied.
Senior Brother Wu took out more than a dozen net bags, and then took out two cloth bags like bags. The net pocket shook into the air, and instantly swelled to the size of more than ten meters, covering more than seventy spirit pigs at once, and then, the silver light flashed in his hand, and he couldn't breathe, and the net pocket shrank sharply, and the zuihou was like the size of a fist, flying into the bag. Next, after three times, after a few incense sticks, all the spirit pigs were taken away.
Seeing Tianjiu staring at the net pocket dumbfounded, Senior Brother Wu said proudly: "This is Deacon Mi specially bought from Yuling Zhoufang City, last time he collected the spirit pig, it took a lot of effort, so he was prepared." We didn't have such a worry-free collection before, and I would like to thank you for it! If Deacon Mi didn't come here last time, then I'll be tired this time! This net pocket is a middle-level magic weapon, worth one hundred low-grade spars each, Deacon Mi bought it with blood, if the production of the spirit pig is not high and causes idle assets, he will be punished. Now the situation of the door is not very good, and the revenue is not very good. ”
Tianjiu was a little speechless, he didn't expect that he would bring good luck to others. Seeing Senior Brother Wu go out after collecting the spirit pig, he thought twice and said: "Senior Brother Wu, there is still a spirit pig in my house, which I raised unconsciously, it seems to be a little different from here, can you help me take a look? If it is not good, I hope you can correct it." ”
"Oh, is it? It's different from here, then I'll have to see, don't raise stubble, I can count on the spirit pig here in the future, you don't know, you can't buy it outside now." Senior Brother Wu said with an unhappy face.
Tianjiu hurriedly took Senior Brother Wu to the private room of the experiment. There was a crystal clear spirit pig lying alone.
"What is this?" Senior Brother Wu's eyes glowed, and he walked to the sleeping spirit pig with an arrow step, and looked back and forth for a long time. He took out a silver needle and stabbed it into the spirit pig's body.
I saw a tiny milky white filament on the silver needle slowly rising, past the bottom of a red scale, still going up, until the top of the second scale, almost to the third scale, before stopping.
Senior Brother Wu's face was full of excitement, his eyes widened, and he roared.
"Incredible, incredible! The second-grade spirit pig, the second-grade spirit pig, almost close to the third-grade! God, our Huachen finally has a second-grade spirit pig!"
When Tianjiu saw Senior Brother Wu's appearance, he was also stupid for a while. He was glad that he had the foresight to include the other three spirit pigs in the Qiankun Ring in advance. Otherwise, I don't know how to explain it to this Senior Brother Wu.
"This spirit pig is really raised by you?" Senior Brother Wu asked as he stared at Tianjiu deadly.
"Yes...... Yes, brother, I raised it unconsciously. Tianjiu hurriedly replied.
"Tell me how you raised this one?"
"Oh, Haode. When this spirit pig was a piglet, it was very active, very naughty, often running around, and liked to run around the house, and the most annoying thing was that it also kicked and beat other spirit pigs. I couldn't be tossed by it, so I had to keep it alone here and raise it, and Zuihou became like this. ”
"Oh, that's it!" Senior Brother Wu thought. "If that's the case, it's probably due to the different breeds of piglets. If you breed it again, if you don't have this breed, won't you be able to raise it?"
"I don't know, but I have some tips that may help me raise them in the future. Tianjiu replied, he didn't dare to promise that he could raise them on a large scale, for fear of arousing unwarranted suspicion.
"Well, it's good to have a good experience. You have a lot of heart, yes, yes!" Senior Brother Wu squinted and patted Tianjiu's shoulder and said.
"Thank you Senior Brother for the compliment!" Tian Jiu pretended to be sincerely afraid.
"Okay! If you can raise such a spirit pig again, I will definitely suggest that you be promoted from above, and it is not necessary to join the inner gate. Let me tell you, Senior Brother, I was also from an outer sect, and I know the hardships of outer disciples. Senior Brother Wu's face was full of brilliance, and he promised Tianjiu.
"Then Senior Brother Xie has cultivated first!" Tianjiu bowed and said.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say! You must raise the second-grade spirit pig again. In this way, you can go back to the sect with me now, on the one hand, to redeem the reward, on the other hand, I remember that tomorrow seems to be the lecture of Senior Brother Changfeng, you can use this vacation to listen to it, maybe you will gain something. Senior Brother Wu nodded and said.
He felt that this Tianjiu was his lucky star, he was now only at the bottom of the inner gate, although Huachen was weak, but the competition in the inner door was still very fierce. If he gets the second-grade spirit pig of Dongling Mountain, his status will definitely improve a lot, and he will also be favored by Deacon Mi and even higher-ups, maybe there will be a chance to get the coveted Tsukidan.
"Go back to the sect and listen to the teachings?" Tian Jiu was a little overwhelmed by the pie that suddenly fell.
"Alright, don't be stunned. You go clean up and I'll take you back right away. Senior Brother Wu said as he put away this second-grade spirit pig alone.
