The owner's house.
Zhang Liang pushed the door open and found that the place was quite clean. The yard is about 100 square meters, and the house has two entrances, front and back. There are two small trees with red flowers in the yard. I don’t know the species, but there is a quiet fragrance of flowers.
There is a stone table and platform under the tree, and there are rows of green bamboos in the corner. Next to the bamboo is a long pool with some red carps in it. The pool passes through the small bridge in the courtyard and flows to the other side of the wall, where there is a rockery and stone scene.
After passing the front hall and entering the backyard, there is a practice place made of bluestone slabs, and then his residence.
Zhang Liang went into the room and took a look at it, and then took out the jade slip of the Ten-mile Smoke and Cloud Formation that Lin Rong gave him. It described the control method of the Ten-mile Smoke and Cloud Formation.
It doesn't take a long time to just master the control method, regardless of the array layout and structure.
In just three days, Zhang Liang completely mastered the control method of the Ten Miles of Smoke Formation.
As he waved the formation flag, the venue owner's mansion was immediately covered by a cloud of smoke, and no one else was allowed to enter. It is necessary to send in the message spirit book and obtain his consent before you can enter.
"It's interesting. Together with the formation, it's really useful."
After covering the owner's house, Zhang Liang couldn't wait to take out the marrow-cleansing material from Lingzhi Peak. After soaking a bucket as required, he immediately jumped into it.
There is nothing that can be more urgent than raising spiritual roots.
The pain, struggle, and sourness quickly cleared away all Zhang Liang's distracting thoughts.
Four more days later.
Zhang Liang finally climbed out of the medicine bucket and forced a smile on his face.
"The fifth level of spiritual root is finally achieved."
"Huh~"
Zhang Liang gasped for breath and laughed loudly. If others knew that he smiled like this for a mere fifth-level spiritual root, they might think he was sick.
However, only Zhang Liang himself knew how difficult it was to advance his spiritual roots.
"Well! It's time to continue studying various ways to breed insects. I don't know if driving the ducks to the shelves by myself can reverse the dilemma of the insect farm."
For several days, Zhang Liang was immersed in the research of "Thousands of Methods for Breeding Insects". Compared with the Hundred Methods of Raising Insects, the Thousand Methods of Raising Insects divides insect breeding into three methods, namely.
General method: diet and conditioning, devouring each other. Almost 90% of insect farmers use common methods to cultivate spiritual insects. Even the Black Wind Insect Farm where Zhang Liang is located is the same.
Non-universal methods: special diet formula, formation and spirit gathering. This method requires obtaining a diet formula and feeding it together, and the effect is better than the general method.
Special spiritual materials: This item excites Zhang Liangliang the most.
Because among these special spiritual materials, there are several items that are perfect for Zhang Liang.
One is demon pill powder, one is demon blood spiritual food, and the other is deep sea algae oil.
Among them, demon blood spiritual food is to mix prepared spiritual food with diluted demon blood and feed it. This is a spiritual food that many insect masters will do.
Of course, the cost is quite high.
Ferocious beasts are not hard to come by, but demon blood is not. If you want demon blood, if you don't hunt it yourself, you can only buy it. It's okay to raise a few insects, but if there are a lot of insects, such as a large insect farm, it's a bit nonsense.
Which insect farm can have such strong financial resources to purchase a large number of ferocious beasts to draw blood every day?
Therefore, this method can only be used locally, and it is absolutely impossible to popularize it on a large scale.
Let’s not talk about the demon pill. Not every ferocious beast has it. Zhang Liang himself doesn’t have a demon pill now. If you grind this into powder and then dilute it, how many spiritual insects can you feed?
As for deep-sea algae oil, as the name suggests, deep-sea algae are taken to extract oil. Not to mention the extraction process, it is said that the deep-sea algae alone need to be changed frequently. If you eat the same kind of algae regularly, you will develop tolerance. The initial improvement will be obvious, but it will not work well later.
However, these three methods are indeed difficult in the eyes of others. But for Zhang Liang, it’s not as much as he wants?
In particular, the method of deep-sea algae oil can be used on the entire insect farm.
Outside the Black Fish Department, the sea locust sea area has nothing but a lot of seaweed. It is completely a seaweed jungle. If you cut it casually, isn't it enough to support this just a small insect farm?
Of course, the source of the algae cannot be disclosed to outsiders.
To avoid attracting others' attention, wouldn't it be enough if I could put in a small amount in the future and quietly and slowly improve the quality of spiritual insects in the insect farm?
Of course, the core of this method is the refining method, which needs to be purchased.
But Lingxian Tower or Lingxian Palace must have relevant refining methods. Zhang Liang would not doubt this. It is just a matter of how much money it costs.
The worst thing is that Rao Yaoyao only wants second-order spiritual insects. Even if he only raises an insect field, as long as he can raise second-order spiritual insects, isn't it enough?
Seven or eight days is really too short, and it is enough for Zhang Liang to study the Insect Classic and the Thousand Methods of Insect Breeding. As for the Insect Controlling Technique, it takes a lot of time to study and learn, and it cannot be accomplished in one day.
…
Half a month passed by in a flash.
Zhang Liang is writing down some of his guesses and available recipes, preparing to compare them with the usual recipes in the insect farm.
Suddenly, a piece of spiritual paper flew into the hospital. Zhang Liang took it and saw that it was Yang Xun.
Zhang Liang straightened his clothes, moved his body, and walked out of the owner's house. He saw Yang Xun leading dozens of insect farmers waiting respectfully outside the owner's house.
Next to Yang Xun, there was a young and beautiful woman who seemed to be younger than him. She was tall, her clothes were slightly thin, her slender thighs were looming, and her delicate oval face was still slightly flushed.
Zhang Liangliang wondered, could this also be an insect farmer? I hadn't noticed that there was such a beautiful woman in the crowd before.
At this moment, when everyone saw Zhang Liang, they all shouted respectfully: "I have met the owner."
"Well! Yang Xun, how did things go?"
Yang Xun said quickly: "To the owner of the venue, the things you told me have been completed. But..."
"If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."
Yang Xun said respectfully: "Master, I dare to ask, do you want to get rid of all these spiritual insects?"
Zhang Liang nodded: "You guessed it right. From now on, this insect farm will only raise two kinds of spiritual insects, namely sea cockroaches and spiritual blood ants. Do you have any questions?"
Yang Xun received a definite answer and quickly shook his head: "The old slave and all the insect farmers have no doubts, but...the output of spiritual stones in the insect farm does not mainly rely on sea cockroaches and spiritual blood ants. At this moment, the main thing on the site is to clear these Spirit worm, the people below are somewhat uneasy."
Zhang Liang said that he was here to reassure himself.
However, I am also a young child, so what can I give you to reassure yourself?
Zhang Liang snorted coldly: "Why are you so worried? The owner of this field won't be able to leave within five years. What are you worried about? I know there are other insect farms outside that are eyeing them, but this owner has just arrived, and he doesn't want to cause conflicts with other insect farms for the time being. . If you are willing to wait, you can wait for me for three to five years, and then the owner of this site will give you a future. If you don't want to, you can leave at any time, and the owner of this site will not embarrass you."
"this……"
Everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the new insect farm owner was so bachelor that he wouldn't even draw cakes for them.
When Yang Xun heard this, he quickly flattered him and said, "Old slave and others can certainly wait."
Zhang Liang smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you can't wait. The owner of this venue only wants to tell you that I may not be here for more than five years, but maybe ten or twenty years. As for whether you believe it or not, it's up to you."
"Believe it, I will naturally believe it."
Yang Xun quickly agreed. Who dares to say that he doesn't believe it?
Zhang Liang nodded: "By the way, now that you have cleared out these spiritual insects, have you calculated the income from selling them?"
Yang Xun immediately said: "Master of the farm, I have already made some calculations. If we really only keep the sea cockroaches and spiritual blood ants, and sell all the other spiritual insects, we can probably get 50,000 spiritual stones."
This number is large, but this is not a resource that can be easily pocketed. It is almost the entire wealth of this insect farm. In other words, apart from this piece of land, this insect farm is probably worth fifty or sixty thousand spiritual stones.
If you get this money, you will need to add a lot of ordinary sea cockroaches and spiritual blood ants, which is a big expense. After that, the daily spiritual insect diet and the insect farmer's basic welfare, once used, basically all depend on this spiritual stone.
Even if the insect farm is profitable, a certain amount of spiritual stones must be handed over to Rao Yaoyao. After all, this insect farm ultimately belongs to others. It's just that this insect farm is so difficult, Rao Yaoyao never mentioned it.
But no matter what, this spiritual stone will be consumed surprisingly quickly. Zhang Liang estimated that if he wanted to breed on a large scale, it would probably take less than two years at most, which would be the limit.
Spiritual insects still need to be raised, after all, this is the foundation of one's rise. Even if he doesn't think about these insect farmers, he still has to think about himself.
But when it comes to raising insects, you can’t rush it. If you want to cash in immediately, it’s impossible, so you can only invest slowly in the early stage and wait for the results in the later stage.
Think about it.
Zhang Liang patted his spirit beast bag and saw a buzzing sound. More than a thousand first-order low-grade jasper cockroaches, two hundred first-order middle-grade jasper cockroaches, and 52 first-order high-grade sea cockroaches were surrounding his feet.
Seeing this scene, Yang Xun and others couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. Although jasper cockroaches are very common. But at Zhang Liang's age, he has independently cultivated so many advanced spiritual insects, and even so many first-order high-grade spiritual insects. It would be a lie to say that he is not surprised.
Zhang Liang said casually: "A few months ago, during the fierce battle with the Xuanwu Pirates on the Giant Whale Fairy Ship, the spirit worms in our hands were damaged a lot. But even if we only have these now, it should be enough to prove that The strength of this owner.”
Zhang Liang had already demonstrated his strength, and Yang Xun and others immediately said: "The owner of the farm is extremely talented and talented. He will definitely be able to turn things around, develop the insect farm, and regain its former glory..."
Except for Yang Xun, everyone else also looked happy. Although the insect farm owner was a thousand miles away at the beginning, in the end it was a small reassurance, which could barely appease people's hearts.
Zhang Liang hummed softly, clasped his hands behind his back and said, "By the way, what is the specific name of our insect farm? The owner of this farm still doesn't know it yet."
Yang Xun was stunned: "Didn't you decide the name? Usually it is decided by the farm owner. The farm owner determines the reputation of the insect farm, so once the farm owner leaves, our insect farm will not have a name. But everyone usually calls it by the name in private. West Coast Bug Farm.”
Yang Xun couldn't help but feel a little uneasy again. Is this really a serious insect master? Why don't you even know this?
Zhang Liang was also a little surprised that there was such a rule.
However, something moved in his mind, and he said without changing his expression: "Then let's call it Black Wind Insect Farm!"
"Black Wind Insect Farm? Yes, the owner of the farm."
Although they didn't know why the host chose this name, the name was not important, so they didn't care anyway.
Zhang Liang finalized the name and said: "Okay, Yang Xun, you are the old man of the Black Wind Insect Farm. You will be responsible for selling these spiritual insects. I know that you have family members in the secular world on the island, so I am not afraid of you." Take the money and run away. In addition, the purchase of ordinary sea cockroaches and spiritual blood ants will be left to you. The owner of this field has made some gains in practice recently and needs to retreat for a while, and no one is allowed to disturb him during this period."
Everyone was not surprised by Zhang Liang's attitude, and even took it for granted. Aren't all big shots like this? Just give me an order if you have something to do, no matter what you do
"Yes, Mr. Farm Owner. By the way, Mr. Farm Owner, this old slave has one more thing to do."
"explain."
Yang Xun glanced at the female cultivator beside him and said quickly: "Master, this is the granddaughter of the old slave. She is only twenty years old and has reached the fourth level of Qi training. The old slave is thinking that in your house, the master, you will always need Someone was serving him, so I boldly brought him here, hoping to help the owner. Xue'er, haven't you met the owner yet?"
Hearing this, the girl quickly saluted: "Yang Xue, from the slave family, has met the owner and is willing to serve him."
"oh?"
Zhang Liang secretly clicked his tongue. He didn't expect that he could get to the point where others would send him beautiful women to please him.
On the surface, Zhang Liang just looked at Yang Xue lightly and said casually: "That's fine. Come back in a month!"
"Yes, Master."
Yang Xun also had a happy expression on his face. He didn't expect it to happen, but unexpectedly it actually happened. It must be Xueer's beauty that made the owner's heart flutter.
Although this field owner has not shown any strength, how can someone who can be the field owner be inferior in strength?
