The Green-tailed Spirit Fish has been caught and can be raised, but Lu Xuelian's skills in taming animals are only half a bucket of water after all. Breeding them is quite troublesome. They need to figure out how to raise them. This process takes time.
It's not bad, although the income brought in the first year is not much, only 65 spirit stones, but if you want to create a new industry like breeding spirit fish, it will be good if you don't lose money in the early stage.
One year is very short for a monk and will pass quickly.
After taking a look at the new resource of Green Tail Spirit Fish, Lu Ping stopped paying attention.
【Reputation: 191】
He checked the reputation points and found that he had accumulated 191. The [Resource Optimization] item was enough to redeem.
Lu Ping plans to use this [resource optimization] first for the sect’s spiritual field to increase the production capacity of the spiritual field.
However, Lu Changfeng and his party have not yet returned from purchasing, and the sect's spiritual field has not yet been expanded, so there is no need to rush.
The next thing to do is to wait patiently.
Thinking of this, Lu Ping looked at another reward, the evil-dispelling divine thunder talisman.
It is worth mentioning that after checking it, Lu Ping was surprised to find that this talisman could be used with his hands.
In other words, if necessary, Lu Ping can use the Evil God Thunder Talisman to ward off enemies on his own. He does not need to pass it on to a sect member and rely on the other party's hand to cast it.
This can be considered an unexpected surprise.
From this point of view, keeping this talisman in your own hands is the best way.
If it were to be passed down and given to a certain sect member, it would not be easy to find a suitable candidate.
After all, Lu Ping does not have the ability to predict the future, and he does not know who will need this talisman to save his life more in the future, which will play a key role.
Keep it in your hand. If you encounter a certain disciple who is in trouble or endangers his life in the future, it will not be too late to pass it on or use it directly.
Time flies, more than a month has passed.
After staying in Qinghefang City for more than a month and having sold out all the spiritual rice, Lu Changfeng quickly completed the purchase of materials and led the disciples to leave Qinghefang City and return to Qingshan Sect.
There was no need to transport spiritual rice anymore, the speed of the cloud-walking beast was much faster, and everyone returned to the sect quickly.
On the second day, Lu Yuanshan arranged his manpower and began to expand the spiritual field.
The Lingtian area is located up the mountainside of Qinglian Mountain. There is a vast fertile soil with abundant spiritual energy, which is very suitable for planting and cultivation.
On the basis of the original ten acres of spiritual land, Lu Yuanshan chose to expand eastward, adding fifteen acres of spiritual land and increasing the scale of spiritual rice cultivation.
The type of spiritual rice grown is still corn crystal rice.
Yujing rice belongs to the first-grade high-grade spiritual rice. Compared with the same grade spiritual rice, the output is higher and the price is also considerable. It is a good choice for Qingshan Sect.
In previous years, the sect had grown jade crystal rice and had rich planting experience. It was decided to continue planting jade crystal rice.
"It has been more than two months since the Lingmi harvest was completed. Starting today, we will expand the new Lingtian as soon as possible to expand the scale of corn crystal rice cultivation."
"Song Minghui, in the past few days, you have led ten disciples to open up spiritual fields and sort out fifteen acres of spiritual fields."
"When the spiritual field is opened, disciples who possess the three spiritual roots of water, wood, and earth, and have practiced the Gathering of Spirits and Transforming into Rain technique, you are responsible for casting spells on the new spiritual field once every three days. Jue, in order to nourish the fields and warm the spiritual energy."
"Because this is the new spiritual field, the nutrients and spiritual energy of the land are not as rich as those of the old spiritual field, so you can use the Spirit Gathering and Rain Technique a few more times."
"After performing the Soul Gathering and Rain Technique five times, you can almost sow the grain seeds."
"After the grain is planted, the two disciples who guard the spiritual field will be responsible for the task of watering it using the Spirit Gathering Rain Technique."
A total of twenty-five disciples from the sect participated, and there were many disciples with spiritual roots of water, wood, and earth attributes. Such disciples were most suitable for practicing the Gathering Spirit and Transforming Rain Technique, and the results were quick.
Learning the technique of Gathering Spirits and Transforming Rain has been a compulsory course for Qingshan Sect disciples in recent years. It is also the most suitable technique for planting and watering spiritual fields and medicinal gardens.
After listening to Lu Yuanshan's arrangements, the disciples did not dare to neglect, and they all understood the importance of expanding the spiritual field to the sect.
The expansion of spiritual fields is related to everyone’s future.
As long as the spiritual fields are cultivated well, the sect will have enough food rations and a large amount of spiritual rice to sell to the outside world. In this way, the sect will gradually prosper, accumulate spiritual stones, cultivate disciples, and feed themselves back.
The sect will also give corresponding rewards to the disciples for the labor they put in, so that they will not be allowed to work in vain, and the benefits that should be given will still be given.
So on that day, the disciples started to be busy. Each one had a clear division of labor. After planning the expansion area, they started weeding, cleaning, and plowing the soil, taking each step seriously.
This step of weeding and clearing the gravel was very simple and only took one day. On the second day, everyone started digging the soil.
Since the land containing spiritual energy is harder than ordinary fertile soil, and there are some spiritual insects living in it, everyone prepared for this step for three days.
The initial work of digging the soil went somewhat slowly.
"Little junior sister, the way you turn the soil is wrong."
"Look at me, you must mobilize your spiritual power when the spiritual hoe is buried in the ground to stimulate the work of the spiritual hoe. Otherwise, if you fail to grasp the timing and intensity and continue to mobilize your spiritual power, you will soon run out of spiritual power. Very soon. It’s easy to get too much.”
"You must remember to use your strength at key points. You have never done these things before, so study hard."
"I know, I know, this is my first time too."
Among the participating disciples, there were many who had just come to the ground, and a young junior sister named Liu Shiyao was one of them.
She was wearing a big straw hat, dripping with sweat, and was waving a spiritual hoe to turn over the soil. She was working very hard, but the way was not right.
It is difficult for ordinary people to plow the hard-soiled Lingtian land, so monks need to work with spiritual hoes, which saves time and effort.
Compared to Liu Shiyao, She Qingqing's movements are much more skillful and are completely textbook level for everyone to learn from.
While turning the soil, you also need to pay attention to whether there are spiritual insects in the soil.
For example, the most common soul-eating insects, they feed on spiritual grass and spiritual rice, and are considered pests.
During the soil plowing process, once soul-eating insects are discovered, they need to be cleaned up in time.
The corpses of spiritual insects after death can be left in the fields as fertilizer, nourishing the land and cultivating nutrients.
In the blink of an eye, three days later, all the spiritual fields were plowed, and the next step was to water and sow the seeds.
The cultivation method of spiritual fields is somewhat different from that of secular grains, and the timing is also different.
Everyone worked together, and in the next two days, the spiritual field was finally planted.
The expansion of Xinlingtian was successful.
The jade crystal rice seeds quickly took root in the spiritual field and grew vigorously.
At first glance, it is a green area.
"The expansion of the spiritual field has been completed. Including the previous ten acres, the total is 25 acres of spiritual field. We hope to achieve a bumper harvest of spiritual rice in the coming year."
"The main income of the sect in the next three years will depend entirely on this spiritual field."
The next month, Lu Yuanshan brought fifty yellow-striped ducks to the Lingtian area.
The yellow-striped duck is not yet a first-order spiritual beast, but it is stronger than ordinary ducks.
They are docile, have yellow patterns on their bodies, and are about the same size as a duck.
Naturally, these ducks were not bought for eating.
They are good helpers for planting spiritual fields.
If you put yellow-striped ducks in the spiritual field, they will not only prey on the spiritual insects on the spiritual rice, but they will also eat the weeds.
When the yellow-striped duck swims, it creates water surface fluctuations that can well transfer nutrients in the water to the roots of the rice.
At the same time, when they move, they can make the water surface turbid, making it difficult for weeds to grow.
With their presence, taking care of the spiritual field will be much easier.
After finishing all this, the next step is to use the Spirit Gathering Rain Technique from time to time to water the branches and leaves of the spiritual rice and replenish the spiritual energy.
This task must be handled by the disciples who guard the spiritual field.
Lu Yuanshan could take his mind away from the spiritual field and start doing other important things.
In fact, Lu Ping watched the entire spiritual field expansion process and was pleased that his disciples could work hard and cooperate with the spiritual field planting.
Now that the spiritual field has been expanded and the spiritual rice has been planted, you can use [Resource Optimization] to upgrade the spiritual field.
