In the next few days, Zhou Yang and others were very busy, buying seeds, buying medicines for daily use, planting and organizing, improving spiritual fields and other large and small matters had to be done by themselves.
Five hundred acres of spiritual fields are planted with large-leaf green grass. It is now the second season and two crops can be harvested before winter.
The original Lingtian also had about fifty acres of large-leaf green grass, and together with Mo Chenglong's fifty acres, it was exactly six hundred acres.
Based on the previous output, it can produce 180,000 kilograms of spiritual grass. Even if the production is reduced, at most, another 30,000 kilograms can be purchased to make up the required 200,000 kilograms.
If Manager Liu couldn't handle the matter of providing the Cang Beast Palace exclusively, it wouldn't affect the overall situation, it would just mean less earning of spiritual stones.
Half a month passed, and Zhou Yang inspected the spiritual field every day to observe the growth of the spiritual grass.
He had to do this. This was 600 acres of spiritual land, and more than 10,000 spiritual stones had been invested. If something went wrong, even if the entire net worth of the four of them was lost, it would not be enough.
During this period, Liu Menglong also received news, which was an auspicious order for Cang Beast Palace to purchase the types and prices of spiritual herbs and elixirs.
The big-leaf green grass costs 110 yuan for a first-grade spiritual stone per 1,000 kilograms, and the red madder costs 255 yuan for a first-grade spiritual stone per 1,000 kilograms. The prices of other spiritual herbs and elixirs also vary. Zhou Yang's guess was correct. The purchase price of Cang Beast Palace was indeed about 10% higher than that of the store.
But apart from Xiangdan, there is no other news. It seems that the matter has not been completed yet. However, there has been some progress. Manager Liu has just met a deacon from Cangshou Palace through the relationship of the trading company and is in close contact with him.
Zhou Yang replied to Manager Liu, telling him not to worry, there was still plenty of time, and if the spirit stones were not enough, just talk.
Since this period of time, Zhou Yang has been meditating every night. Because the elixirs are abundant and the environment around the spiritual field is very quiet, his cultivation speed has increased by leaps and bounds.
On this day, after finishing the trivial matters, Zhou Yang meditated in the room as usual.
As soon as he swallowed a Fire Spirit Pill, he felt shaking waves coming from his Dantian. This kind of fluctuation absorbs and spreads the power of the Fire Spirit Pill ten times faster than before. At the same time, the two groups of spiritual power mist at the Dantian shrank sharply, quickly dispersing a large amount of spiritual power into the major meridians, mixing with the power of the Fire Spirit Pill, and rapidly impacting the meridians and acupuncture points.
Zhou Yang suppressed his joy, gathered his mind, held the Yuan Shouyi, and then began to run the Xuan Gang Jue, directing the spiritual power and medicinal power to the meridians and acupuncture points in sequence.
Half an hour later, Zhou Yang swallowed a Fire Spirit Pill again, and the Xuan Gang Jue changed from slow to fast, but it failed to hit the bottleneck.
"What's going on?" Tiehu, who was meditating, suddenly felt abnormal fluctuations in the spiritual energy around him, followed by a burst of noise. He stood up suddenly and rushed out of the room.
"It's Little Yangzi! This movement is too..." He looked at Zhou Yang's room and opened his mouth in shock.
But he saw a trumpet-shaped air mass condensed in the sky above the room. The air mass was not big at first, but the surrounding aura and semi-aura gathered into it at a speed visible to the naked eye. As the aura and semi-aura increase, the air mass becomes larger and larger, and the semi-aura is also squeezed out by the aura and gradually dissipates, making the aura of the air mass more and more pure.
Not only that, the bell of the spiritual energy ball had broken through the roof and poured directly into the room.
If ordinary Lingtai cultivators do not cross large levels, such as early stage to middle stage, middle stage to late stage, etc., then such big abnormalities will not occur.
Today, Zhou Yang broke the rules and only broke through from the second level to the third level of Lingtai. This caused an innate abnormality from the initial breakthrough to the middle stage. How could Tie Hu not be surprised.
In fact, this phenomenon is not unique. In some large sect families, there are many unparalleled geniuses born. These geniuses have extraordinary qualifications. When they break through the small realm of Lingtai, they will also have heavenly signs.
"My dear, could it be that Little Yangzi is also a genius that only happens once in a century, or in a thousand years!" Tiehu murmured with his throat dry.
The entire breakthrough process lasted for nearly two hours, and Zhou Yang successfully advanced to the third level of Lingtai.
"It's really yours!" When Zhou Yang walked out of the room, Tie Hu came up and punched him.
"Luckily, senior brother is laughing at me!" Zhou Yang said with a smile, his face flushed.
"Okay, don't be angry with me. It's so irritating that people are more irritating than others!" Tiehu shook his head.
"Senior brother, don't belittle yourself. Your qualifications are not bad, it's just that you haven't yet reached the stage. If you work harder, the Lingtai realm will be just around the corner!" Zhou Yang cheered him up.
"I hope so." Tiehu still couldn't be happy.
"Come on, let's relax!" Zhou Yang pulled Tiehu and said.
"It's not daylight yet!" Tiehu muttered.
"There will be more people at dawn, let's go quickly!" Zhou Yang didn't care, dragged Tiehu up and rushed towards the wasteland.
"Comfortable!" Zhou Yang let out a long sigh after venting his joy.
"You feel comfortable, but I've trapped you to death!" Tiehu said dissatisfied.
Zhou Yang ignored him and frowned again.
"What's wrong?"
"Alas, entry is not slow, but..." Zhou Yang shook his head.
"But what?" Tiehu asked.
"Although the realm is high, there are too few available spells! And we don't have any magic weapons in our hands, so our strength is greatly reduced!" Zhou Yang sighed.
He could only use the secret magic technique of stabbing the sky, and the aura was not considered a magic technique. As for the Flame Technique and Kong Xuan Palm, they are basically entry-level and everyone can do them.
He does have a magical weapon, but its attributes are inconsistent and his strength is greatly limited.
This is the difficulty of casual cultivators. Without the backing of a major sect, you have to work hard on your own.
"Yes, without spiritual stones, nothing can be accomplished!" Tie Hu felt the same way.
"Everything will happen!" Zhou Yang was just complaining, and he felt happy when he said these words. Now that he possesses the Ancient Spiritual Planting Technique, as long as the spiritual grass is harvested successfully, the spiritual stone will be earned. Although he is not very rich, he should be doing well among casual cultivators.
In the following days, Zhou Yang worked hard to practice the Sky-piercing Sword Technique and the Red Thread of Spiritual Light. The Sky-piercing Sword Technique is becoming more and more proficient. If you reach the fourth level, you can cultivate the sword light, and the power will be greatly increased.
The lethality of the spiritual light red line has also been significantly improved. The leather armor of the third-level primary monster can be easily penetrated, and even the later stages of the spiritual platform are not hard-wired.
But what makes him depressed is that Tiehu still has no movement. He has been taking Huangling Pill for half a month, but there is no progress and there is no sign of breakthrough.
"Is it possible that he was seriously injured and damaged his meridians?" Thinking of this, Zhou Yang felt even more anxious and ashamed. If he hadn't disappeared, how could Tiehu have suffered like this.
Through shopkeeper Liang, Zhou Yang found a practitioner with superb medical skills to take Tiehu's pulse.
The medical practitioner explored Tiehu's whole body meridians and major acupoints, but found no damage or blockage. In other words, there is no physical barrier for Tiehu to break through. There was only one possibility left, Tiehu's understanding and qualifications were still lacking. Unfortunately, he became one of those people who found it difficult to break through from the Kaiyuan realm to the Lingtai realm.
Tiehu was very frustrated. The result of his hard training was that he would always stay in the Tianyuan realm, and the door of cultivation would never be opened to him. This was more painful than killing him.
However, if there is a spiritual elixir, the chance of breakthrough will increase by several percent. But Chong Ling Dan is regarded as a treasure by all sects and will never be passed on everywhere. Manager Liu and Shopkeeper Liang gave an affirmative answer to this point.
For several days, Tiehu was depressed and in no mood to do anything.
Zhou Yang understood it very well, and he wouldn't be able to accept it at the moment. He could only comfort Tiehu and promised to find a way to solve his problem.
Tiehu knew that these were words of comfort and should not be taken seriously, but Zhou Yang had a plan in mind, but it was just too risky.
Another half month has passed, and there is still no news from Liu Menglong.
Zhou Yang was a little anxious, it was probably difficult to handle.
He also understood that if he succeeded in doing this, it would mean squeezing out others. Businessmen who can establish a relationship with Cang Beast Palace will naturally not be far behind.
These days, Tiehu's mood gradually calmed down. So what if you can't break through the spiritual platform? It's useless to blame others. It's better to live every day in peace and ease.
But at this moment, Zhou Yang also began to implement his plan.
There were more than a dozen Earth Fire Birds in the storage bag. He didn't take them out when he first returned to the city, because not everyone could use the Fire Spirit Pill, especially low-level cultivators.
Although the number of Earth Fire Birds is not large, they should be of some use as a guide for taking the Fire Spirit Pill. If Tie Hu can break through by taking Huang Ling Dan, then these Earth Fire Birds may just be an appetizer. But Tiehu's understanding and qualifications were indeed lacking, and his adventurous plan had to be implemented.
The meat of the ground firebird is very hot. At first, he only gave Tiehu one to eat every day, and then he increased the number. In less than ten days, more than a dozen Earth Firebirds were wiped out by Iron Tiger.
Tiehu felt embarrassed and kept giving it to Zhou Yang, but Zhou Yang didn't move a bite. He thought Zhou Yang was tired of eating firebirds and had no appetite.
In fact, Zhou Yang did eat the Earth Fire Bird for eight months. It would be right to say that he was tired of it.
After wiping out all the Fire Birds, Tie Hu was still not finished. He asked Zhou Yang if there were any more, but Zhou Yang could only smile bitterly. Knowing this, he brought more out, instead of just giving Tie Hu a taste.
Zhou Yang took Tiehu to the underground fire quiet room of the city inn every day and exposed him to the underground fire over and over again. The toad opened his mouth more and more, and Tiehu's fire resistance became higher and higher.
Tiehu was very puzzled by Zhou Yang's behavior.
Zhou Yang said solemnly: "Senior brother, I can't get you the spiritual elixir, but I can refine another elixir. This elixir may help you break through the spiritual platform."
"Breaking through the spiritual platform?" Tiehu asked in shock. His extinguished hopes were rekindled.
"Yes, I took this kind of Fire Spirit Pill when I broke through the Lingtai. However, the potency of the medicine is too overbearing. If ordinary cultivators take it, they will die violently. Our preparations these days are all to take the Fire Spirit Pill. But even with these preparations, it is still very dangerous. "
Zhou Yang paused, looked at the surprised Tie Hu and said, "When I first took it, I ate dozens of earth fire birds, and then stayed in the earth fire for many days, but when I swallowed it, all the meridians in my body were almost severed. Your realm is still very low and your tolerance is limited, so it’s better not to take this pill unless it’s absolutely necessary.”
