Huaxi Valley, the clear blue sky.
After working around the clock for three days, Jiang Yuebai finally filled the hundred acres of terraced fields with forty-five kinds of elixirs, ice and fire thorns, four-season spiritual fruits and other spiritual plants.
Enough to make elixirs, fight magic, and make wine.
Of course, all the elixirs Lin Xiangtian requested to be planted were also planted.
Jiang Yuebai stood in the middle of the terraces, using one hand to draw the secret.
Spiritual energy gathers, rain and mist rise, and drizzle pours down, watering everywhere on the terraces.
New sprouts sprout from the seeds, the seedlings stretch out, and the landscape is green and full of vitality.
Jiang Yuebai looked back at the house on the mountainside. A rainbow hung shining in the rain. She took out the farming puppets she had made earlier and placed them everywhere. She took out the eight formation disks and disappeared in front of the main entrance of the house.
Birds and birds are flying in the white mist with the wind, and the spiritual fields of the house are looming in the mist, hazy and ethereal, like a fairyland.
Jiang Yuebai walked out of the maze and headed to the spiritual field at the foot of the mountain.
The sect requested that five hundred acres of Peiyuan grass be planted, which is the main medicine of Peiyuan Dan. The elixir contained in the monthly salary of the disciples in the later stages of Qi training in the outer and inner sects is Peiyuan Dan.
At this time, in front of the designated 500-acre spiritual field, Guo Zhen and Shi Xiaowu both clasped their hands and looked and moved exactly like father and son. They watched a group of pheasants cooing in the spiritual field, driving away countless earthworms evenly distributed on the ground. , drilling in and out of the spiritual soil.
Guo Zhen's eyes sparkled, "Don't mention it, this earthworm plowing the ground with the flaming pheasant watching it is much more efficient than us using the Zhenling hoe to plow the ground."
Shi Xiaowu couldn't help nodding beside him, "Yes, Senior Sister Jiang is really amazing. She was able to get so many earthworms. If Xiao Ankuo knew about it, he would be very angry. Hahaha."
Guo Zhen looked into the distance and saw a beautiful girl in white holding a red ferret in her arms, standing beside the field.
It was because she was there that these flaming pheasants stopped eating earthworms and drove them to work as instructed. I don't know how she did it.
Usually, some people use earthworms to loosen the soil, but earthworms are inferior spiritual insects and cannot be controlled. They can only be allowed to drill randomly in the fields, which is not very efficient.
At this time, a middle-aged male cultivator with a long beard and more than 20 male and female servants passed by the spiritual field. He glanced at it and showed no interest, and wanted to leave the valley.
Seeing this, Guo Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Old Tang, why are you in such a hurry? Didn't I say I'd treat you to a drink today?"
Tang Shengcai waved his hand, "No, no, no, we have finished all the work in Huaxi Valley. It is time to find work elsewhere, otherwise we will not be able to lift the pot. We craftsmen are not as smart as you farmers. We can only eat if we have work, but if we don't, I can only drink the northwest wind."
The servants around him nodded and whispered.
"Huaxi Valley can't even recruit spiritual farmers, so it probably doesn't have much of a future."
"It's better to work for the inner sect's uncle or the real people. After the work is completed, we can be rewarded with whatever we want, which will be enough for us to eat for a while."
"It's just that Huaxi Valley is still too poor. Although Senior Sister Jiang is an inner disciple and a spiritual cultivator, she is of no use. We work hard and there is no sign of completion."
"Ahem!" Tang Shengcai cleared his throat and glanced, but everyone behind him fell silent.
Guo Zhen looked worried, and Tang Shengcai handed over his hands and said: "What they say doesn't sound nice, but it is also true. We craftsmen are only good at building and repairing houses. We can't make a living by doing this. I hope Junior Brother Guo will forgive me."
After saying that, Tang Shengcai was about to lead everyone away.
"Senior Brother Guo, Senior Brother Tang."
Jiang Yuebai walked over slowly and bowed with a respectful attitude.
The surrounding craftsmen gave in one after another. Jiang Yuebai was an inner disciple, and they were just handymen. It didn't matter what they said behind their backs, but they didn't dare to offend them in person.
Tang Shengcai and Jiang Yuebai were both at the eighth level of Qi training, but Jiang Yuebai respectfully called him senior brother, which was very useful to him.
"You're welcome. I don't know if the house is to your liking. If you have any dissatisfaction, just raise it and I will personally change it for you."
"I am very satisfied with the house. It far exceeded my expectations. The craftsmanship of Senior Brother Tang and other junior brothers and sisters is really amazing and admirable."
The polite words made everyone feel at ease, and they also liked Jiang Yuebai a little more.
"Senior Brother Tang is good at carpentry. I wonder if he has ever learned the way of puppetry?" Jiang Yuebai asked.
Tang Shengcai nodded, "I have learned some, but I am short of money. Not to mention the huge cost of materials, the blueprints are also very valuable, so I can't afford it. What's more, the puppetry requires extremely high spiritual consciousness. I... you know."
"My ancestors were also carpenters. I am somewhat interested in the Puppet Way, so I figured out a few gadgets on my own. I hope that Senior Brother Tang will give me some advice."
After speaking, Jiang Yuebai took out a bamboo object the size of a human head, which looked like a headless kitten. It had runes on its back and a hollow conical tube with a pointed head pointing downward on its abdomen. It looked very weird.
"What is this?"
Tang Shengcai frowned. The material used for this puppet was just ordinary spiritual bamboo. It was rough, fragile, and vulnerable, and could not be used for fighting at all.
Others also came over to check curiously. Guo Zhen and Shi Xiaowu looked at each other and snickered secretly.
They were also confused when they made it before. It wasn't until Jiang Yuebai took them to work in the terraces the day before yesterday that they knew it was an artifact.
Jiang Yuebai did not explain, but took out a magic machine stone made of spiritual stone and a pack of Peiyuan grass seeds, opened the machine amplifier on the puppet and put them in.
With a snap of his fingers, the puppet walked into the spiritual field where the soil had been turned. The conical tube on its abdomen penetrated into the soil, and everyone heard the sound of something rolling down.
The puppet stood up, took three straight steps forward, squatted down, stood up again, took three steps forward, squatted down, and so on.
After Tang Shengcai reacted for a moment, Tong Kong was shocked, "Is this sowing seeds?!"
Guo Zhen chuckled, and Shi Xiaowu puffed up his chest proudly, "It's just sowing seeds. The sowing efficiency of this puppet is about the same as that of a normal person."
"But there are so many spiritual fields, but only one puppet..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yuebai took out nine more identical puppets, put in the magic machine stones and seeds, lined them up, and moved forward together.
The other craftsmen were stunned and squeezed into the spiritual field to see more clearly.
Tang Shengcai narrowed his eyes and rubbed the beard on his lips. In the past, monks made puppets for fighting, so they would choose precious materials and take pains to polish them.
He didn't know others, but he himself had never thought that a puppet could be used in this way. How lazy does a farmer have to be to think of using this thing to replace his own farming?
But this thing is really interesting. Ordinary spirit bamboo is equivalent to free money. It looks like the most basic and simple machine expansion. The runes on it look a bit complicated, but it is not difficult for him to conquer.
If it becomes popular, it will greatly save the time and energy of spiritual cultivators, so that spiritual cultivators do not have to be tied to the spiritual field and can have more time to practice.
For this reason alone, even if it is more expensive and costly, there will still be spiritual cultivators willing to save spiritual stones to buy it.
If there are enough puppets, one person can plant not only a hundred acres of spiritual land, but also a thousand acres. No wonder Jiang Yuebai is not in a hurry even if she can't recruit a spiritual farmer. It turns out that she already has a way, it's amazing!
Tang Shengcai had a bright mind and a sharp mind, and he immediately smiled.
"Senior Sister Jiang is such a talented person. Tang has never thought of it. I wonder if there are other farming puppets besides sowing puppets?"
Others are equally keen on figuring out the joints. In addition to building houses, they also build some furniture or make gadgets to earn spiritual stones.
But compared to this thing, what they did was nothing. The puppet in front of them was just a walking bag of spiritual stones.
Jiang Yuebai looked at everyone as usual.
"You're not leaving?"
Tang Shengcai smiled awkwardly and said: "Senior Sister Jiang is ridiculous, where else can we go? Idle time is idle. We are all from the same sect. It would be nice if we could help Senior Sister. I hope Senior Sister Jiang won't dislike it. You guys are still stunned. What are you doing, don’t you see any work in your eyes? Go see if there’s anything you can do to help, and go get to work!”
Tang Shengcai drove everyone else away, leaving only Guo Zhen, Shi Xiaowu, Tang Shengcai and Jiang Yuebai by the Lingtian.
Jiang Yuebai saw through it without revealing it, and took out various puppets to display.
"This can be used as a scarecrow fixed in the field to deter small beasts. Combined with the 'Cloud Rain Array', it can rain once a day. This can harvest spiritual fruits. If the forearm is replaced with a sickle, it can also harvest spiritual wheat and rice. This one is responsible for weeding. This one is responsible for transportation, this one..."
The more Tang Shengcai watched, the more frightened and enthusiastic he became. He didn't need Jiang Yuebai's persuasion, he had already decided to stay in Huaxi Valley and find a way to learn Jiang Yuebai's craft.
"Senior Sister Jiang is truly a genius."
Jiang Yuebai was neither arrogant nor impatient, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Tang is older than me, so it's better to call me Junior Sister. I just have wild ideas and don't stick to the fixed styles and uses of the puppets. That's why I came up with fantastic ideas. Tang If senior brother is willing to study this aspect, he will definitely do it more sophisticatedly than me."
Jiang Yuebai's words were very helpful to Tang Shengcai, "Junior Sister is overrated. Tang has also heard about things in Huaxi Valley. Junior Sister can't recruit spiritual farmers. These farming puppets can just solve the problem of insufficient manpower. It's just that there are more than a thousand acres here." The number of puppets needed to cultivate the spiritual field is certainly not small, if Junior Sister needs Tang’s help, just ask.”
"So good!"
Tang Shengcai wanted to learn, but Jiang Yuebai didn't hide it.
In order to be able to go out to mine and fight without delaying farming, she had put a lot of effort into researching and improving these farming puppets.
Another compound at the foot of the mountainside in Huaxi Valley is the carpentry yard she set up specifically for this purpose, which is used to manufacture farming puppets in large quantities. She has also been eyeing Tang Shengcai and other craftsmen for a long time.
Observed during this period, he is of good character and can be used.
At present, the needs of Huaxi Valley must be met first before they can be sold in limited quantities in exchange for spiritual stones, which is also a way to win over connections.
This kind of puppet is not difficult to make, and the threshold for drawing formations is not high. Ninth-level beast souls can be seen everywhere. The only difficulty is making the divine machine stone.
Even if you start learning from now on, it will take three to five years of hard work to complete it, not to mention that making the Divine Machine Stone consumes a huge amount of spiritual stones, who is willing to do it?
If she hadn't been in the mine and there was no shortage of spiritual stones, she would never have given them up.
Moreover, she had already inquired that in the Tianyan Sect, only a few foundation-building master uncles from Wanfa Hall were proficient in the Puppet Way. They were all wealthy monks from big families and looked down upon this small business.
Without the Divine Machine Stone, the Farming Puppet would be useless. If she mastered the Divine Machine Stone, she would control the Gate of Life.
However, the spiritual stone and the divine machine stone are one-time use and can only be used in the early stage. Moreover, producing large quantities of the divine machine stone will delay her cultivation, so she has begun to look for other methods.
At this moment, Jiang Yuebai felt a little regretful that he didn't bother to recognize Mo Baichun first. After all, he was young and ignorant and was arrogant because of his talent.
Jiang Yuebai glanced at Guo Zhen, and Guo Zhen understood and took Tang Shengcai to the carpentry yard.
"Old Tang, why are you in a hurry? We have a long time to come. Take your time. Let's have a drink first and ask my junior sister Jiang to finish what she is doing. Xiao Wu, ask the others to join us."
"well!"
The whole group was taken to the carpentry yard by Guo Zhen. Jiang Yuebai arranged the other farming puppets. When he saw Yun Shang coming over after visiting various parts of the Huaxi Valley, he hurried up to greet him.
"How about, would you like to move in together? With the help of your spiritual beasts and insects, Huaxi Valley will not need so many spiritual cultivators, and it will be an extremely pure place."
Yun Shang has been tempted for a long time. After seeing Huaxi Valley today, she has already made up her mind.
"Can you give me the area behind the bamboo forest in the east and against the mountain? It's very quiet with the bamboo forest blocking the front."
Jiang Yuebai smiled brightly and said, "Okay, it just so happens that the craftsmen are not gone. Let them build you a new yard and animal stables. I will contribute the required amount as your housewarming gift. The prosperity of Huaxi Valley in the future will depend on Senior Sister Yun. ”
Yun Shang blushed and smiled, looking at the bamboo forest to the east with longing.
She had nowhere to go before and had no courage to leave the old place. After hearing Jiang Yuebai's words last time, she realized that it was not the rumors and other people's eyes that had trapped her, but herself.
I hope that starting from stepping out of the Spirit Beast Valley, she can complete what her father has not yet done, and she can break out of her own world according to her mother's expectations.
Jiang Yuebai sent Yun Shang out of the valley and watched her disappear behind the distant mountains on a ferry and walk to the pond at the mouth of the valley.
The toad guarding the valley at the bottom of the pond is known with affection and moved with reason.
As a result, the big toad was indifferent...
"If you insist on forcing me to call Qionglin Mountain Lord to talk to you, I will go now. I just want you to be strict and don't let idle people enter the valley. This is your duty, so forget it if you are too lazy! "
Gua~
There were footsteps in the distance, and Jiang Yuebai turned around to see a familiar girl in gray walking towards the entrance of the valley.
"Senior Sister Jiang!"
When the girl saw Jiang Yuebai, she quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"My name is Qi Yue. I was originally a spiritual farmer in Fengming Valley. Today I came here to join Senior Sister Jiang and join Huaxi Valley."
Jiang Yuebai examined the girl and recognized her as the one he met in Spirit Beast Valley earlier.
She is older than her, a girl who should be seventeen or eighteen years old, with a sixth level of Qi cultivation, ordinary appearance, bright eyes, and full of energy.
"Huaxi Valley does not recruit spiritual farmers." Jiang Yuebai said solemnly.
Qi Yue was speechless, "Why? The recruitment order has not been withdrawn yet, but I heard that no one responded?"
"Do you know why no one responded?" Jiang Yuebai asked directly.
"I know, because of Xiao Ankuo."
"Then you still dare to come? Aren't you afraid that his thugs will cause trouble for you?"
Qi Yue said seriously, "It is because of fear that I turned to Senior Sister Jiang. Because Senior Sister Jiang is not afraid, I am not afraid of you either."
Jiang Yuebai chuckled lightly, "You are quite practical. There is indeed no shortage of spiritual farmers in Huaxi Valley, but I am short of someone to handle chores."
Qi Yue was overjoyed when he heard this and stepped forward to recommend himself.
"I can do it! I served Senior Uncle Song from the outer sect for three years. Then she...she died on a mission, so I became a spiritual farmer. I have experience in handling chores and I will not let Senior Sister down."
In fact, it is good to be confident and courageous enough to dare to fight for opportunities.
Jiang Yuebai nodded in agreement, "Okay, you can try it out for the first half of the year. If you do well, I will give you a salary increase."
"Thank you, Senior Sister Jiang. If you have any instructions, I will take office immediately."
"Well, I'm just about to entertain a senior brother and his more than 20 handyman disciples. You go and buy a banquet and come to me after spending the money."
Qi Yue accepted the order and rushed to the restaurant without stopping.
Jiang Yuebai looked up at the sky. Yesterday she felt that God was unfair and not helping her. Today, she suddenly felt like fortune was turning and everything was going well.
