Free Trade City is closed today, and there is nothing to do when we go back. It is better to let Chihu relax, and the senior brother naturally agrees.
Tiehu was very envious of Zhou Yang's breakthrough and was also happy for Zhou Yang. He secretly made up his mind to practice hard and never let this junior fellow apprentice fall too far behind.
Two people and one tiger crossed the guardrail at the edge of the spiritual field and headed towards the wilderness.
Going west is a meadow with wild grass taller than a person, and hills beyond. Chihu was very excited and ran at the front. After a while, he disappeared into the grass and disappeared.
"It won't let you ride it, right?" Tiehu asked after the cub walked away.
"It's not working right now. Let's try again later." Zhou Yang looked at the weeds in front of him and said with a smile.
"This guy is a stinker. He only wants to kiss you. If I touch him, his mother will eat me." Tiehu was very dissatisfied with the cub.
"Don't you still have me? Sooner or later I will let you ride."
"I hope so. By the way, the spiritual field you choose will take some effort!"
"It doesn't matter, I have my own way."
"Okay then, I'll just do the work."
"That's not possible. The two of us work together and perform our duties, so that the spiritual field can be planted well. By the way, I made some elixirs last night. You can take it." Zhou Yang took out a elixir bottle with twenty A single piece of yellow spirit.
Tie Hu was not polite, took the pill bottle and said: "This pill is very good, much better than Bai Luo Dan. My cultivation level has been improving very quickly recently. With these twenty pills, I will soon be able to reach the eighth level." .”
"In the Kaiyuan realm, this elixir is very effective. It is estimated that it will be less effective at the Lingtai."
"It shouldn't be bad, otherwise Gaode wouldn't trouble you again and again."
"So I don't dare to sell it anymore, otherwise you and my brothers will make a fortune just by relying on this elixir. What a pity! We are too weak to protect ourselves!" Zhou Yang sighed.
"We are just keeping a low profile for the time being. Sooner or later, our brothers will come forward. Now that we have added Chihu, he is an early cultivator of the Lingtai. We can kill him!" When it comes to the cubs, Tiehu is full of confidence.
As soon as they talked about Red Tiger, this guy actually jumped out with a small beast in his mouth, threw it at their feet, and then rushed into the grass. After a while, another one came in. Within half an hour, two hares, a big bird, and finally a wild sheep came back.
Tiehu's eyes shone brightly, and he thought that now he had some meat to eat.
"Chihu, this sheep belongs to you, we are going to make lunch." Zhou Yang threw the wild sheep to the cub and said to Tiehu: "Brother, start the roasting!"
"To know this, I will bring some condiments and good wine with me. Hahaha, I am a little eager for this kind of life now!" Tiehu laughed. The two hares and the big bird were roasted until they were golden and the fat was dripping down, making people appetizing just by looking at them.
The brothers often survive in the wild and are quite good at barbecue.
While the two were burping, Chihu also wiped out a wild sheep.
After eating, they did not go further into the wilderness, and the two of them returned directly to Anping City.
After entering the city, Zhou Yang signed a land lease agreement with the store affiliated to Cang Beast Palace, paid a deposit of 100 spiritual stones, and rented 50 acres of spiritual land farthest from the city.
Zhou Yang asked his clerk how much spiritual land he could rent and cultivate, and the answer he received was that each cultivator could rent up to two hundred acres of spiritual land of second grade or below. But basically no cultivator will rent so much, because the growth period of spiritual herbs and elixirs is not short, ranging from a few months to a few years or even decades. The labor cost alone is a huge expense. , plus seeds and other expenses, the initial investment in spiritual stones is too much, and if you encounter pests and diseases, you will lose everything.
At present, even if Zhou Yang wants to rent more, he can't because there is another rule: the first time he rents the spiritual land, the maximum is 50 acres, and if he rents it again next year, it can only reach 200 acres.
When paying the deposit, the store clerk took the second-grade spiritual stone from Zhou Yang and was very surprised. How could a person who spends second-grade spiritual stone casually rent such a remote spiritual field?
Zhou Yang didn't know what the clerk was thinking, and after his guidance, he found the store of Tongzhou Trading Company and hired five mortals. The price was one piece of one-grade spiritual stone per person per day. Zhou Yang was responsible for taking care of the food. The spiritual stones of these five people are to be handed over to Tongzhou Commercial Bank. The settlement at the end of the month requires a deposit of ten spiritual stones.
At this time, Zhou Yang still had thirty-five pieces of first-grade spiritual stones, and Tie Hu had twenty-one. With these spiritual stones, he would need to buy the seeds of spiritual herbs and elixirs tomorrow, and also buy food for these mortals. He had to count the flowers.
After a month, the wages of the five mortals have not yet been paid, but if they are not hired, they will not have to practice and will have to take care of the spiritual fields all day long. There is no choice but to take one step at a time.
In the evening, the two returned to the inn. Zhou Yang used two hours of hard work to refine thirty more yellow spirit pills, bell red and other materials. There were not too many materials left, and he had to continue to collect them.
The next day, they got up early, checked out of the room and rushed to Free Trade City.
Zhou Yang found a stall specializing in selling spiritual herbs and seeds and began to carefully select them. The most demanded spiritual grass nowadays is big-leaf green grass, followed by red madder. Both of these are spiritual grasses commonly eaten by third- and fourth-level spiritual beasts, while the spiritual medicines are fire dragon grass and earth fairy flower.
The seeds of large-leaf grass are the cheapest, and the seeds of daffodils are the most expensive. The price difference is nearly ten times. In addition to these, there are also bell-red seeds here.
Next, Zhou Yang bought some grain seeds and half a month's rations for five mortals. He went to the stall selling spiritual herbs and elixirs and selected several spiritual herbs for preparing medicinal herbs.
The medicine he wanted to prepare was to increase the growth rate and effectiveness of the spiritual herbs and elixirs. Most of the ingredients were available, but there were two herbs that he couldn't find in all the stalls.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that the only option was to go to the store to look for it.
In the meantime, he also spent two spirit stones to buy some books, some of which introduced the geography of northern Hezhou and the distribution of sects, as well as books on raising spirit beasts, but they were all superficial.
There were some books on exercises and spells on the stall, but they were only entry-level and the prices were not low, so he didn't take them seriously.
There are only twenty-five first-grade spiritual stones left, which is probably not enough.
He also had a few low-grade magic weapons belonging to He Dongluo and others in his bag. He originally didn't want to sell them, because when fighting against others, having a few more magic weapons would increase his chances of winning. But the situation is not as good as others, and now they can only be replaced by spirit stone flowers. However, he would not sell Yuan Dun, as it was more important to save his life.
Zhou Yang was so distressed that he sold three offensive magic weapons at a price lower than the cost, and received a total of 40 yuan of first-grade spiritual stones.
Senior brother and Chihu were happily shopping in Freefang City. Zhou Yang didn't take them with him and went to a nearby store alone.
These two herbs were really rare, but hard work paid off. In the end, he found two herbs in a big store, but it also cost him a full fifty yuan of first-grade spiritual stones.
Zhou Yang found the Erhu brothers. Of course, he was calling them for fun. He didn't dare to call them in person. His senior brothers would fight him tooth and nail. The two brothers were so excited to play in the spirit animal area that they were unwilling to leave. In the end, they were dragged away by Zhou Yang.
They brought five mortal laborers from Tongzhou Trading Company and returned to their spiritual fields together. These five mortals are not bad, four are in their twenties, and the other is about forty, also in his prime. In fact, planting spiritual fields is much better than being a mining slave. At least life safety is guaranteed, and the work is not too tiring, so these mortals are willing to do it.
With Red Tiger around, the five mortals were frightened along the way and didn't dare to get close. However, Chihu ignored them and ran forward on his own, and the five people felt relieved a little.
There were a lot of weeds growing in the fifty acres of spiritual land that Zhou Yang rented, and the house needed to be cleaned, so he spent the whole day busy.
He and Tiehu also joined the labor force. In addition to the fifty acres of rented spiritual land, there were about forty acres near the guardrail, which were also cleared by Zhou Yang. There were nearly a hundred acres of spiritual land in total. This was Zhou Yang's early Even if it's calculated.
The house at the spiritual field is enough for them to live in, and these mortals bring their own daily necessities, so they don't need to worry about it. Leave the food to them and forget about it.
Zhou Yang and Tie Hu each chose a room, and originally planned to give Chi Hu a room, but Chi Hu didn't even look at it and insisted on sharing a room with Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang had no choice but to let it go.
Every second morning, Zhou Yang looked at the 100 acres of spiritual land that had been sorted out, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Now that he finally had his own property, he could be regarded as a landlord.
This was the first step in his rise and the foundation of his rise. Therefore, we must take good care of this spiritual field. Not to mention the distance, there will be a lot of spiritual stones in a few months.
Zhou Yang ordered five mortals to turn over the spiritual fields, then sprinkled them with chemicals to improve the quality of the spiritual fields, and finally began to plant spiritual herbs and elixirs. Thirty acres of big-leaf green grass were planted, twenty acres of red madder, ten acres of fire dragon grass and earth fairy flowers, and another twenty acres of bell red near the wasteland, leaving more than twenty acres as reserve.
After sowing the seeds, the five mortals watered it again and left it alone for the time being. From now on, just water and weed regularly every day. This is the business of five mortals.
Zhou Yang's task is to pay attention to the growth status of spiritual herbs and elixirs, and to check for pests and diseases. Tiehu was assigned the task of supervising the work and purchasing the necessary items.
In fact, they spend most of their time practicing. What they have learned is almost the same, and they even take the same pills. Therefore, they can exchange their cultivation experiences at any time, correct each other, learn from each other's strengths, and make progress together.
Three days later, the big-leaf green grass sprouted first, then the red madder, the bells, and finally the two elixirs. Vibrant vitality appeared in the spiritual field, with green and red contrasting with each other, and full of green.
And Chi Hu went crazy playing in the wilderness, bringing them some small animals and wild sheep from time to time. These mortals also occasionally improved their food, and their lives were quite comfortable.
Zhou Yang treated the five mortals well, so they worked very hard and took care of the spiritual field conscientiously without making any mistakes.
