Days go by very quickly when there is something to do.
With the help of Zhuang Jialan, Chen Mobai quickly mastered the drawing of the three second-level talismans for his exam.
In addition to this, there is also good news, that is, Zhuang Jialan agreed to join the student union.
Without his instructions, Hua Zijing's eyes lit up when she saw Zhuang Jialan, and she took the initiative to help her adapt.
Zhuang Jialan felt a little flattered by this.
She naturally knew Hua Zijing. Whether it was Zuo Qiushi or Chen Mobai as president, she was the well-deserved number two figure in the student union.
The dignified vice president and head of the secretarial department actually took the time to take care of her as a newcomer, and he also worked very hard. It can only be said that Chen Mobai's reputation is great enough.
After coaching her for a while, Hua Zijing said that although Zhuang Jialan was not as capable as herself, she had high plasticity, a lot of room for improvement, and strong learning ability.
After listening to Hua Zijing's evaluation, Chen Mobai didn't think too much about the deeper meaning of this evaluation. He nodded with satisfaction. One worry was settled and he could concentrate on going to Tianhe Realm to handle this year's spring rice sowing.
"Master, these are the rice seeds selected last year."
Zhuo Ming wore a straw hat and took out several bags of full-grained rice seeds from the storage bag on her waist.
They are now at the foot of Xiaonan Mountain, in the ten acres of spiritual fields at the core of the earth's most abundant aura, where each polygonatum grows vigorously.
Every time a section of Polygonatum odoratum grows, Zhuo Ming will cut a hole with a pinch knife, and then seal the carefully selected Yuya Lingmi rice seeds into it.
After cultivating it for ten years, the Polygonatum odorifera will grow. When the time is up, you can use a sickle to cut off the top bamboo joint, and a tube full of fragrant second-level spiritual rice will be found inside.
When all the bamboo joints of a whole Polygonatum odoratum are cut off, it means a round of maturity of the Polygonatum odorifera spiritual rice.
It’s time to sow the second round.
Every spring, these Polygonatum japonicus, specially designed to nourish spiritual rice, will grow a section. Chen Mobai went down the mountain specifically for this purpose today.
In addition to Zhuo Ming, Luo Yixuan also followed.
She also specially changed into a coarse linen shirt suitable for farming. The cuffs and trousers were all tied up with a red ribbon. She also wore a pair of straw sandals on her feet. She held a small crescent sickle in her fair right hand. He also wore a straw hat and imitated Zhuo Ming's way of sowing seeds.
Although her movements seemed very clumsy to Chen Mobai, this attitude as a teacher was still very satisfactory to him.
Seeing Luo Yixuan following Zhuo Ming in a hurry, Chen Mobai, who was also cutting the bamboo sealing rice, nodded slightly.
The monks on the Tianhe Realm have a kind of ambition that the students on the Immortal Sect don't have.
Probably they all know that the opportunity to cultivate immortality is hard to come by, and they cherish it very much.
The three masters and apprentices spent five or six days sealing all the newly grown jade bamboos into carefully selected high-quality jade bud spiritual rice seeds. Chen Mobai felt that Zhuo Ming's cultivation seemed to be It grew some more.
Earth Mother Kung Fu is really suitable for her.
"Xuan'er, in the next month, use the falling rain technique taught to you by my teacher to water these ten acres of spiritual fields."
Luo Yixuan nodded obediently, and at the same time said a little embarrassedly that she had never used the falling rain technique before, for fear that if she didn't do it well, she would waste ten acres of Xiaonanshan's most precious spiritual rice.
"It's okay. If you don't understand, ask Ming'er. She is very talented in spiritual planting. She has passed on 10 to 20% of my master's accomplishments in this area. There is basically no problem in taking care of this Yuzhu spiritual rice."
"Senior sister is so powerful. This is the only second-level spiritual rice in our Shenmu Sect. When these ten acres of spiritual rice mature, senior sister will be a second-level spiritual planter."
Luo Yixuan listened and said to Zhuo Ming next to her with admiration. The latter was a little embarrassed by her praise and waved her hands repeatedly, indicating that practice makes perfect.
"It just so happens that I am free today. If you two have any questions about cultivation, please feel free to ask them."
Beside the spiritual field, Chen Mobai chose a stone and sat down. Two apprentices stood on his left and right, each mentioning the confusion he had encountered during his practice.
Since Luo Yixuan had reached the ninth level of Qi training, she was only confused about foundation building, so she didn't have many problems, but she still managed to make up a few to show her presence.
On the contrary, Zhuo Ming actually had more problems with spiritual cultivation than with cultivation.
"Master, I feel that the cultivation method of this Yuzhu spiritual rice is not perfect. Are the other twenty kinds of spiritual rice you asked me to cultivate just to improve this point."
Chen Mobai was a little surprised that Zhuo Ming could raise this question.
This child was indeed born to farm.
"Yes, I am very pleased that you can notice this. Later, you can take my nameplate and go to the Transmission Department to read all the information about Yuzhu Lingmi."
Chen Mobai had actually discovered long ago that as the only second-level spiritual rice planting method in the Shenmu Sect, it had huge flaws.
The mature rice seeds here in Xianmen are directly sown and irrigated, and they spontaneously absorb the earth's energy to grow. After breaking out of the ground, they open their buds and absorb the aura of heaven and earth, as well as the essence of the sun and the moon.
During the maturation process of the rice seeds, Ling Zhifu only needs to irrigate and fertilize regularly and pay attention to pests. There is no need to plant the golden-edged polygonatum first, wait until the polygonatum grows, and then seal the rice seeds into it.
As the core foundation-building elder of the Shenmu Sect, Chen Mobai can naturally view all the secret scrolls about "Yuzhu Spirit Rice" within the sect.
The method of cultivating and planting this second-level spiritual rice was back when the Five Elements Sect was not divided. When Zhou Shengqing was traveling in the realm outside the Eastern Wasteland, he encountered an auction hosted by a large chamber of commerce and spent a lot of money to auction it. of.
In the Tianhe Realm, there are two ways to buy and sell spiritual plants.
One is authorization and the other is buyout.
The former is like the third-level Panlong Spirit Rice in Huitian Valley. It purchases rice seeds from the Xingtian Chamber of Commerce every year. This fee is the licensing fee, in exchange for the exclusive planting and selling rights in the Eastern Wasteland.
Another kind of buyout is Shenmu Sect's Yuzhu Spirit Rice. This is the secret method inherited by a sect in Dongyi. If the ancestor of the sect's foundation was not seriously injured, he would not buy it in exchange for the healing elixir. Come out for auction.
Zhou Shengqing bought this inheritance and returned it to his sect, and was even praised by the ancestor Hunyuan who was still alive at the time.
Because according to the inheritance of this Yuzhu spiritual rice, if you can find the third level of spiritual bamboo, you might be able to upgrade the ordinary Yuzhu spiritual rice to the third level.
The value of third-level spiritual rice is completely different.
Based on the experience of the Tianhe Realm, if Master Jindan wants to conceive a baby, he simply realizes that strong blood and physical body can increase a certain success rate.
Only spiritual rice of the third level and above can have an effect on Jindan Zhenren.
Xiaonan Mountain is the test site for the improvement of Polygonatum odorifera spiritual rice to the third level. Unfortunately, this method of planting spiritual rice is too troublesome, and it takes ten years to mature.
When the experiment reached the third round, the Hunyuan Ancestor passed away.
Then the Five Elements Sect split up, and after that Zhou Shengqing was busy retreating to break through to the completion of the alchemy, and had no time to pay attention to this matter.
Until Chen Mobai succeeded in building the foundation and chose Xiaonan Mountain as his dojo.
The leader Meng Hong naturally knew the origin of Yuzhu spiritual rice, and also knew that Chen Mobai, a genius besides practicing swordsmanship, also loved farming, so he gave Chen Mobai all the information on the sect's experimental planting of third-level spiritual rice. .
However, this part of the information is not complete.
In order to plant the third-level Polygonatum odorifera spiritual rice, the spiritual cultivators of the Five Elements Sect's soil vein, water vein, and wood vein opened 60 acres of spiritual fields for cultivation in Xiaonan Mountain, Jumuling.
Later, the major event of family separation happened, and the Ling Zhifu of the three lineages naturally each had his own master. The Ling Zhifu of the Shenmu Sect wrote it down based on his memories and kept it for inheritance.
It is said that he actually completed the cultivation of two third-level Polygonatum odorifera rice, but I don’t know if it was by chance or if he really mastered the secret. Moreover, this part of the secret is in the hands of the core Tumai Spirit Zhifu and the Shenmu Sect. No.
It is precisely for this reason that the Shenmu Sect is not interested in raising the Yuzhu Spirit Rice to the third level, because they know that it will consume huge resources and may not be successful.
The spiritual plant inheritance of the second-level Polygonatum odorifera spiritual rice can also be checked by the foundation builder.
Only some secret scrolls about third-level spiritual rice are treasured in the Transmission Department. Chen Mobai is regarded as the future core of the Shenmu Sect. Naturally, it is easy to read this information.
However, the head Meng Hong still gave special instructions.
Let him focus on practicing swordsmanship. Although the third-level spiritual rice is important, the sect has a lot of spiritual stone savings, so he can still buy Panlong spiritual rice for the two pill-forming ancestors. The most important thing must not be delayed because of this. of practice.
Chen Mobai was also a little moved by this.
At least Meng Hong, the head of the Shenmu Sect, really regarded him as the future of the sect and was training him, and the treatment he received was no worse than that of his disciples.
For this reason, Chen Mobai set a small goal in his mind.
He wants to use his talent for farming to the Shenmu Sect so that everyone in the sect can eat second-level spiritual rice.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Mobai has been very attentive to agricultural courses in the past two years.
Lin Wenkang, the agriculture teacher at Wuqi Taoist Academy, was very satisfied with this and taught everything he had learned. He believed that Chen Mobai could become a leader in Xianmen agriculture in the future.
After Chen Mobai read the third-level spiritual rice information collected by the Shenmu Sect, and combined with the rich knowledge of the Immortal Sect, he has understood all the ideas of the inheritance of Yuzhu spiritual rice.
Ling Zhifu, who originally created Yuzhu Lingmi, was a genius.
The rice seed of Yuzhu spiritual rice is actually the first-level Yuya spiritual rice. This kind of spiritual rice is regarded as the most widely sown and technologically mature spiritual rice in the Tianhe world.
The seven major sects of the Eastern Wasteland, and even the immortal cultivating families and small sects in various places, all have rich experience in growing jade bud spiritual rice, and can harvest a lot every year.
But this kind of spiritual rice has a flaw, that is, it cannot withstand the second level of earth vein spiritual energy.
In other words, it can only be sown into first-level spiritual fields.
The founder of the Yuzhu Spiritual Rice had a sudden idea of filtering the second-level earth vein aura so that the Yuzhu Spiritual Rice could withstand it and upgrade it to a higher level.
After decades of grafting and sowing experiments, Polygonatum odorifera rice was created.
After the second-level earth vein aura is absorbed and transformed by Polygonatum odoratum, it will become very pure and docile.
The rice seeds sealed in the polygonatum bamboo joints will undergo strange changes under the infusion of bamboo dew and bamboo spirit energy. After ten years of cultivation, they will be upgraded to second-level spiritual rice.
According to this theory, if there is a third-level spiritual bamboo suitable for Yuya spiritual rice, it is indeed possible to cultivate a third-level Yuzhu spiritual rice.
Zhou Shengqing was able to buy this spiritual plant inheritance, no wonder the Hunyuan ancestors were happy.
However, from the perspective of the Immortal Sect, this is indeed a wrong approach.
In order to cultivate and grow Polygonatum odorifera spiritual rice, first of all, it is necessary to consume earth energy and spiritual energy to supply Polygonatum odoratum to grow. After sealing the spiritual rice seeds, the latter also needs to absorb the essence of Polygonatum odoratum. After the two transformations, the energy consumed is fairy It is one and a half times as much as the second level spiritual rice, and it takes too long to mature.
For those spiritual cultivators like Xianmen who must cultivate every inch of land and spiritual energy intensively, Polygonatum odorifera spiritual rice is naturally a wrong way.
After Chen Mobai found out, he specifically consulted Lin Wenkang, an agricultural teacher at the Taoist Academy, who suggested several methods.
Softening the earth's atmosphere, maturing in stages, improving rice seeds, etc.
However, if you want to solve this problem once and for all, the best way is to improve rice seeds.
It is to cross the Yuya spiritual rice with another kind of spiritual rice that can withstand the second level of earth energy. After several rounds of practical planting and cultivation, the most suitable, fullest and most flavorful rice seeds are selected. The seed of life force.
The process and method are very simple. With Chen Mobai's top agricultural knowledge in the Taoist Academy, he can write a complete paper and methods on improving rice seeds without Lin Wenkang's help.
But the hardest and most boring and tedious step is the subsequent step of practice and cultivation.
In order to obtain accurate and extensive experimental data and samples and find the most suitable varieties, the more hybrid rice varieties, the better.
During this process, there must be no shortage of people to monitor and record the data.
The more seeds are sown, the more spiritual fields are needed, and the more spiritual cultivators, the better.
It's a pity that the experimental fields of the Taoist Academy are full of more precious third-level and fourth-level medicinal herbs, and only a small piece of spiritual rice is left. Chen Mobai's extravagant hope of improving rice seeds with the help of the agricultural class cannot be realized.
The next best thing is to test it on Xiaonanshan.
Fortunately, Zhuo Ming was a talented person. He just told her about the hybridization of rice seeds and she already understood it.
Since the major chambers of commerce in Tianhe Realm attach great importance to the care of high-level spiritual rice, Chen Mobai chose rice seeds that are hybridized with Yuya spiritual rice, and it is best to be local to the Eastern Wasteland.
After Chen Mobai took over Xiaonan Mountain, he has been issuing long-term tasks to purchase various Lingmi rice seeds in Lingbao Pavilion in his own name in the past two years.
Using the power of the sect, in addition to the core ten acres of Yuzhu spiritual rice cultivated according to formal methods, he arranged for Zhuo Ming to grow the purchased spiritual rice one by one for the other fifty acres.
These spiritual rice grades range from high to low, some ripen every six months, some every year, and some every two or three years.
Last year, Chen Mobai's Yuzhu Lingmi for brewing second-level spiritual wine was made by crossing the first-level high-grade rice variety called Baoshen Lingmi, plus the second-level distiller's yeast from his hometown, as well as Baicao Dan and Yangshen Decoction. The fusion and fermentation of hundreds of medicinal materials resulted in the successful creation of two pots by chance.
