Under Shan Heyuan's careful care, within a few days, the soil ginseng gradually matured, exuding a rich ginseng aroma and attracting more birds and beasts.
Shan Heyuan could hardly defend it alone.
It would be difficult to get higher profits if he continued planting, so he decisively decided to dig out the mature batches of ginseng and sell them, and plant the remaining unripe ones for a while.
On the day they sold the ginseng, they got up very early, dug the ginseng, and arrived in town before ten o'clock in the morning.
It's a nice day today, with rays of sunshine and clouds.
Shan Heyuan and Shen Duheng crossed the street and walked into Zangling Grocery Store one after another.
The cultivator at the grocery store recognized them and came up to them with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Shan, Fellow Daoist Shen, we haven't seen each other for a few days. Are you here to buy or sell?"
"Sell!" Shan Heyuan took out three large baskets from the storage ring, put them on with a bang, "I collected a batch of third-level Qi Refining Earth Spirit Ginseng, how many spirit beads can one plant sell for?"
The cultivator stared at so many earth ginseng, his eyes widened, and his expression became serious: "Third-level earth ginseng in Qi Refining? Wait a moment, let me take a look."
The shopkeeper of Zangling heard the commotion and came over. He looked at the basket on the ground, then looked at Shan Heyuan and the others: "Did you two grow these soil ginseng?"
Shan Heyuan smiled: "Yes, I have been taking care of it carefully for a long time. I hope I can sell it for a good price."
The shopkeeper bent down to check the condition of the soil ginseng. After a moment, he raised his head and said to Shan Heyuan and the others: "The quality of these soil ginseng is really good. We can give you a price of three hundred and eighty-one."
Shan Heyuan did not hesitate: "Three hundred and eighty is too low. I asked people to come to collect more than three hundred and eighty. We will consider at least four hundred and fifty one."
The shopkeeper shook his head: "It's hard for us to sell it at a price of four hundred and fifty. We really can't pay four hundred and fifty. You are our old customer. How about four hundred?"
Shan Heyuan did not agree.
Shan Heyuan had high hopes for this batch of soil ginseng and was unwilling to let go easily.
The grocery store was very optimistic about this batch of native ginseng and was reluctant to refuse.
The two parties bargained for a while and finally settled on a price of four hundred and twenty-one plants.
Shan Heyuan brought a total of 633 ginseng plants and sold a total of 265,860 spiritual beads.
He previously owed Shen Duheng 500,000 spirit beads, but now he could pay back half of it in one breath.
Shan Heyuan used his spiritual consciousness to carefully count the spirit beads given by the shopkeeper. After confirming that there was no problem, he put the spirit beads back into the storage ring.
After selling out the ginseng, Shan Heyuan took back the storage ring from the basket on the ground.
Seeing him like this, the shopkeeper sighed: "You are too frugal."
Shan Heyuan raised his head and smiled: "I can't help it, it's not like your family has a big business."
After selling the soil ginseng, Shan Heyuan bought a batch of seeds, including grass seeds and tree seeds.
As a grower, he wanted to try more.
Seeing that he bought a lot, the shopkeeper specially gave him a discount and welcomed them to come back next time.
After Shan Heyuan finished the deal, he took Shen Duheng out and went straight to the best restaurant in Jingzhishan Town.
After working for so long, it is rare to get a large sum of money, so I must celebrate it!
Not long after Shan Heyuan and Shen Duheng left, the bell at the door of Zangling was rang again.
The shopkeeper and several cultivators were counting the ginseng they had just bought. When they saw a customer coming, they only had time to say hello.
The tall and thin young man came in and did not go shopping inside. Instead, he stood in front of them and asked with a smile: "This soil ginseng is of good quality. Which Lingzhi Garden produces it?"
A cultivator who was counting the soil spiritual ginseng said quickly: "It's not a spiritual plant garden, it's grown by an independent grower."
The shopkeeper who was doing the counting looked up and glared at the cultivator. He didn't expect his own cultivator to be so heartless.
The cultivator who opened his mouth shrank his neck and quickly lowered his head to continue counting the soil ginseng.
The tall and thin young man didn't mind, and just said: "It was grown by Shan Heyuan."
The shopkeeper didn't expect that he would tell the origin of soil ginseng as soon as he opened his mouth. He was shocked and tried to deny: "Who? I haven't heard of it."
The young man smiled and said: "How many planters can there be in Jingzhishan Town? Heyuan is the only one who grows soil ginseng on a large scale. Whether it is him or not, I will find out later when I go out to find out."
The shopkeeper smiled apologetically and said, "We are sorry that we cannot reveal the privacy of our customers. Do you want to buy something or sell something?"
The young man didn't bother anymore: "Buy some talisman and ink."
The shopkeeper took the young man into the shelves inside to get the ink.
Before the young man left, he took a special look at the soil ginseng.
Shan Heyuan didn't know about the changes in the store. After he and Shen Duheng went to have a big meal, he solemnly returned 250,000 spirit beads to Shen Duheng.
This time Shen Duheng did not refuse.
With half of the debt repaid, Shan Heyuan felt much more at ease.
Although he felt that Shen Duheng's kindness to him could not be repaid by hundreds of thousands of spirit beads, the debt had to be repaid.
The next morning, Shan Heyuan finished practicing and came out with a bucket of fertilizer to prepare seedlings.
There are many ways to raise seedlings in Lingzhi. He selected them and decided to use the mud ball seedling method.
To use the mud ball seedling method, you need to mix soil, fertilizer and medicine in proportion, knead it into a moist ball, and then press the seeds into the mud ball.
The prepared mud balls contain a variety of nutrients and can provide sufficient nutrients for the germination of spiritual plants.
In addition to this, it is also beneficial for transplanting.
When you want to transplant, just put the soil ball and the seedlings into the new hole directly, which will not damage the root system of the seedlings.
This batch of fertilizer was made from the viscera of spiritual beasts and roots of spiritual plants, and it was very fertile.
The seedlings grown with such fertilizer will definitely be very strong.
Shan Heyuan found a scale and carefully mixed the fertilizer.
Just as he was immersed in squeezing the mud, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
The person who knocked on the door was polite and restrained, knocking gently and regularly, knocking several times and then pausing.
Shan Heyuan has lived here for a long time and gets along well with the people in the village. He has no idea who will come to see him.
He stood up and opened the door with his hand raised: "Who is it?"
The door opened, and a tall, thin young man in white stood outside.
The young man looked very elegant and handsome. When he saw Shan Heyuan, he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Shan, good morning. I am Qiu Mingyue, an inner disciple of Taihe Sect. Sorry to bother you."
Shan Heyuan was surprised: "Hello, fellow Taoist. Come in and sit down. Sorry, I want to wash my hands."
Zhu Mingyue followed him into the yard and immediately saw the big tree in the corner of the yard and the spiritual grasses of different heights in half of the yard.
These spiritual plants are green and lush, each with lush branches and leaves, full of vitality.
Under the sun, bees and butterflies were flying on the branches.
Beside the spiritual field, there was a small dark mound of earth. A slightly worn low stool was placed in front of the mound. It was obvious that Shan Heyuan had been working here just now.
Zhu Mingyue's gaze paused, showing admiration.
Shan Heyuan shook up the well water, washed his hands quickly, led Zhu Mingyue into the living room, served tea, and asked him why he came.
Zhu Mingyue said straight to the point: "I came to visit this time because I want to ask fellow Taoist Shan to help me take a look at the Lingzhi Garden."
Shan Heyuan: "Your spiritual plant garden?"
Ji Mingyue: "Master's."
Shan Heyuan nodded to express understanding.
Zhu Mingyue: "My master went on a long trip. Before he went out, he specially handed over the spiritual plant garden to us. Unexpectedly, there was a heavy rain a while ago, and the branches and leaves of the spiritual plant in the spiritual plant garden were beaten to pieces by the rain. After the rain stopped, he started to get sick again. We tried many methods, but none worked, so we wanted to ask a grower to help."
After Shan Heyuan heard the whole story, he waved his hands repeatedly: "I can't do this. Fellow Taoist, I'm afraid I'll have to hire someone else."
Zhu Mingyue: "I have also invited other planters, but the effect is not great."
Shan Heyuan: "Then I'm even less capable. To be honest, I'm self-taught in the field of planting. I don't have a solid foundation and limited knowledge. I really don't dare to delay your master's plantation."
Ji Mingyue didn't try to persuade her anymore, but instead looked at the yard and said, "I see that these spiritual plants in Fellow Daoist Shan's yard are very well planted. Have they also been flooded?"
Shan Heyuan: "On the day it rained, I tried to prevent them from getting sick, using stupid methods. After all, the spiritual plants on my fellow Taoist's side were already sick, so it would be much more difficult to treat them."
The spiritual plants grown by a sect like Taihe Sect must be very rare.
Shan Heyuan didn't want to be responsible for this.
If it is cured badly, we can't even afford to lose our fortune.
Ji Mingyue didn't know where the confidence came from, and said to him: "Fellow Daoist Shan has never seen it, how do you know the difficulty? Maybe after you see it, you will find a solution?"
Shan Heyuan shook his head: "How could such a coincidence happen?"
Ji Mingyue: "My spiritual awareness has always been high, and I feel that Fellow Daoist Shan has a way. Fellow Daoist Shan might actually have a way. If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. I will send Fellow Daoist Shan back when the time comes. How about that?"
Taihe Sect has always had a good reputation and treats the monks under its rule very well.
Shan Heyuan received a monthly subsidy from the Taihe Sect and had a very favorable impression of the Taihe Sect.
After Ji Mingyue's repeated persuasion, Shan Heyuan finally agreed: "I'll go take a look first. I'm not sure there will be a solution."
Zhu Mingyue smiled: "It would be a great help to me if fellow Taoist Shan is willing to go and take a look."
Shan Heyuan: "Fellow Daoist is too polite."
It is better to choose a day than to hit it.
Shan Heyuan sent a communication talisman to Shen Duheng and told Shen Duheng that he was going to the Gate of Supreme Harmony and would not be back at noon.
They have plenty of money now, and they don't need more than one or two talisman spirit beads.
After Shen Duheng received the communication talisman, he sent a special talisman back to him, saying that he would pick him up when he returned in the evening.
Zhu Mingyue watched with a smile as Shan Heyuan sent the communication talisman back and forth. After he finished sending it, he took out the magic weapon flying boat from the storage ring and took Shan Heyuan's flying boat back to the Gate of Supreme Harmony.
The price of magic weapons is much higher than that of spiritual weapons, and the operation difficulty is also higher.
The bright moon controls the flying boat, flying fast and steady.
Shan Heyuan glanced at the flying boat with envy, looked at the surrounding environment, and guessed that Mingyue was at least a foundation-building monk, otherwise he wouldn't be able to fly so well.
Like him, he is at the fourth level of Qi Refining and is not yet qualified to learn how to fly with a weapon, let alone carry people so far.
Shan Heyuan was thinking wildly all the way and felt a little nervous.
Since he arrived here, he has not had any serious dealings with any sect.
Going to the disciple's office does not count, that is a public service organization.
Now, he was going to the base camp of a sect that was guarding one side, and his mood was particularly different.
Taihe Gate occupies a large area of continuous mountains.
Shan Heyuan looked down from the flying boat and could see many exquisite halls on the tops of the mountains, and various courtyards located on the mountains.
The monks shuttled through the mountains and forests in various aircraft, and there were many people traveling on the mountain roads.
It's like there's a small town located here too.
Shan Heyuan watched all this.
He knew that the Taihe Sect was quite powerful, controlling a city and fourteen towns, but he didn't know it was so big.
The world in Jingzhishan Town is still too small.
His understanding of the world of cultivation is also too shallow.
