Ningfang is closed on the 15th day.
Gu Dan, who was 'severely injured', had already started to get out of bed and move around.
Although his injuries are serious in theory and appear serious in appearance, he still has the physique of a grandmaster. An injury that is enough to kill an ordinary person is not to the point of being completely incapacitated for a grandmaster.
As long as you don't fight anyone.
Gu Dan, who had just gotten out of bed and walked out of the room, heard Qian Qiancheng's voice coming from the yard.
"You must be careful when planting spiritual rice! How you treat the spiritual rice will be how the harvest of spiritual rice treats you! This is a matter of no pain, no gain, there is no shortcut!"
Qian Qiancheng's voice was quite high-pitched, and he seemed to hate the iron, "You have been planting spiritual rice for nearly nine years. Next year, you must ensure that you complete the minimum output stipulated in Xianfang. If you can't even do this, Guaranteed, his cultivation will be abolished and he will be completely eliminated from the Immortal Workshop!
How many people want to become immortals? The Immortal Forum does not need those lazy silverfish. You have finally obtained the favor of the Immortal Way. If you are thrown out of the Immortal Forum because of your unwillingness to work hard, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life! "
Amidst the constant disciplinary sounds, Gu Dan walked to the yard.
In front of the courtyard of Lingzhen Hall, there were hundreds of young people standing there, and Qian Qiancheng was standing at the front of the crowd, shouting loudly, scolding Fang Qiu, spitting stars and flying stars.
Those young people were supposed to be the most energetic, but at this moment, all of them had their heads lowered, wishing they could bury their heads in their chests. Not to mention holding their heads high, there were only a few who dared to look straight at them.
"How dangerous is the situation in the outside world today? Only Ningfang gives you a place where you can practice practice safely! Think about what kind of life you lived at home before? You didn't know a word, your face was facing the loess and your back was turned to the sky, and you ate one meal without finishing the next. !
Ningfang gives you food, clothes, and a place to live. It even gives you a chance to become a human master and have the honor to practice the immortal way!
But what about you? How did you repay Xianfang? Um? ! "
Qian Qiancheng angrily scolded: "It's been nine years! Most of you can't even complete the minimum spiritual rice production stipulated by Xianfang! To support you, Ningfang even asked Ningfang to pay a lot of spiritual stones. ! What face do you have standing here? What face do you have to become a part of Xianfang?!"
The sky was illuminated by the light from the furnace gathered by the formation. Gu Dan leaned on the door frame, bathing in the bits of glow.
Looking at the scene in front of me quietly, I had mixed feelings for a moment, and indescribable emotions rippled in my heart.
Qian Qiancheng also noticed Gu Dan's arrival. His face darkened at first, and then he waved his sleeves and issued the final verdict, "Everyone, get out! Next year, if there are still people who fail to meet the minimum output stipulated by Xianfang, you will There’s no need to stay in Xianfang!”
A dull atmosphere lingers here. Hundreds of young people dare not even take a breath, staring at their toes, for fear that if they accidentally move their gaze by half an inch, they will attract more ferocious and violent firepower.
A group of people filed out, but they were silent, like walking zombies, without any sign of life or firepower.
After all those people had left, Qian Qiancheng's expression slowly recovered, he came to Gu Dan's side and said, "Fellow Daoist Kong is not able to rest peacefully, how can he come out?"
"I'm not that fragile."
Gu Dan shrugged slightly, and naturally did not need to explain anything. He just asked curiously: "What's going on with those little guys?"
"What else could it be? You can't grow spiritual rice well, so of course you deserve to be scolded!"
Qian Qiancheng snorted, "These bastards knew how to work hard at the beginning. Although the yield was not high, at least they were energetic. But in the past two years, the harvest has been getting less and less! No matter how they secretly cheat, If you play tricks, the output will never lie.
If you don't give them any color, you really can come to Xianfang to eat dry food! "
"I see."
Gu Dan nodded noncommittally, "I'll just turn around as I please. Elder Qian can just be busy with his own affairs."
"Fellow Daoist Kong, it is better to take more rest and take care of your health."
After saying a simple polite word, Qian Qiancheng quickly returned to Lingzhen Hall, taking out his account book and calculating something there.
Gu Dan finally walked out of the gate of Lingzhen Hall.
Outside are large tracts of rice fields.
At a glance, this place does not look like a mountain with thousands of meters, but more like a countryside with beautiful scenery.
Around those rice fields, quite young monks were sitting cross-legged in meditation to restore their spiritual energy.
Gu Dan knew something about these spiritual rice, but not in so much detail.
These people grow the lowest quality spiritual rice, and the spiritual rice they produce is naturally the worst. Spiritual rice also has grades. The worst grade matures once a year, and the slightly better grade takes three years. Once mature, the strongest one takes five years to mature.
The spiritual wine Chijiang purchased by Gu Dan was made from spiritual rice that matures once every three years.
As for spiritual rice that matures once in five years, it is rarely grown. First of all, the spiritual energy content is not much higher than that of spiritual rice that matures once in three years. Secondly, it takes too long and requires more careful care, but the price is It won't rise too much, and the effort and reward are not proportional.
Ningfang only allocated a small amount of space to grow spiritual rice that takes five years to grow. Lingzhentang grows it himself. The harvested spiritual rice is not sold, but is used internally. It is an absolute luxury.
Gu Dan glanced at the monks who looked like old farmers sitting cross-legged in front of the fields. Judging from the fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from these people, almost all of them were only at the first level of Qi training. There were only one or two people who were worthy of the second level of Qi training. , quite weak.
In eight years, if it is really used for cultivation, it will be a low-grade spiritual root, and it will have to be practiced at the second level of Qi anyway. The initial stage of Qi training is not that difficult.
It's just that they spend most of their time farming - mainly using Xiaoyunyu Jue to support the growth of spiritual rice, which is equivalent to depleting themselves and artificially increasing the total amount of spiritual energy that the spiritual rice can absorb.
But for a monk who is only at the first level of Qi training, it takes a long time to recover after performing Xiao Yunyu Jue once. And if they want to irrigate all the spiritual rice they plant every day, how much time will be left for them to practice?
Lin Cheng said that monks in the mortal area can get about ten spirit stones throughout the year, but this does not include these people.
If they want to achieve such a harvest, they have to wait until at least the middle stage of Qi training. By then, they may have been planting spiritual rice for thirty or forty years!
With nothing going on, Gu Dan walked over to a young monk who stood out from the crowd. He was a second-level Qi-training monk who was cherished here.
“What’s the harvest from planting spiritual rice?”
Gu Dan asked.
"ah"
When the young man saw Gu Dan wearing the uniform of the Law Enforcement Hall, he did not hesitate to reply: "If you tell me this, sir, you can probably get more than one stone for one stone throughout the year."
"Don't be so nervous, I'm just asking a few questions."
Gu Dan said gently.
"Yes Yes!"
The young monk still lowered his head and kept saying yes. He was clearly a monk on the second level of qi training. He looked as humble as a mountain villager who had seen the emperor.
"."
Seeing his reaction like this, Gu Dan couldn't help making each other uncomfortable anymore, so he started wandering around aimlessly.
"Sir, do you want to know about spiritual rice and other matters?"
Before walking a few steps, a man sitting in the field suddenly spoke.
Gu Dan looked around and saw that the man's skin was yellowish, he was strong, and his face looked quite honest. His strength was only at the first level of Qi training, but the eyes he looked at Gu Dan were far less powerful than the second level of Qi training. The monks on the upper floor looked so frightened and panicked.
These fairy seedlings were all selected from the mortal world. The youngest was only twelve years old before coming here, and the oldest was only eighteen years old. It is hard to say that they have any knowledge at all, and they were beaten randomly by Xianfang's 'Xi Pi You' combination of punches. , I am afraid that I have lost my mind a long time ago, and it is rare for someone to dare to speak proactively without any guidance.
No, let alone taking the initiative to speak, most people would lower their heads as soon as Gu Dan looked at him, as if they had done something wrong, and they were even worse than ordinary children.
It's rare for someone to dare to speak actively, so Gu Dan naturally walked over and sat down next to him, "Yeah, what do you want to say?"
"Sir, please take a look at these spiritual rice."
The little guy who took the initiative pointed to the spiritual rice in his field and said: "These spiritual rice are just planted here. If no one controls it, it is not easy to harvest three bushels. After planting, not all spiritual rice can survive. , in the first two months, it is necessary to carefully survey, replenish seedlings or transplant, so as to ensure that the quantity of spiritual rice is sufficient.
Three months after planting the spiritual rice, you must perform Xiaoyunyu Jue to provide it with 'spiritual water'. Only in this way can the spiritual rice grains be full, the spiritual energy abundant, and the yield increased. This is what we really need to do. . "
Speaking of these, he knew all about them.
"So all year round, you get a stone's throw?"
Gu Dan asked.
"There are very few people who cannot harvest one stone. If you want to harvest one stone, you have to perform Xiaoyunyu Jue several times every day. Only in this way can you take care of all the spiritual rice you have planted.
Last year, I slept for two hours a day, and in addition to using Xiaoyunyu Jue four times a day, I only gained one stone and two buckets. "
He pursed his lips and replied.
"How many spiritual stones can I sell for the three bushels of spiritual rice I left behind?"
Gu Dan asked.
Last year, Ningfang's bottom line was one stone of spiritual rice, which meant that one acre of spiritual rice produced one stone of spiritual rice before it was considered qualified.
Only when the minimum bottom line is reached, these people are eligible to share with Ningfang Sanqi, otherwise they will all belong to Lingfang.
It is said that Ningfang's rule is to prevent those bastard monks who are too lazy to fish in troubled waters.
“Not that much left”
"Um?"
Gu Dan raised his eyebrows slightly, he was already divided into 30 and 70. This can't be enough, right?
"These spiritual soils use more than a bushel of spiritual rice."
He pointed to the place where the spiritual rice had taken root.
It was a layer of black soil covering the rocks, but Gu Dan never took it seriously.
"These things?"
Gu Dan was stunned, never thinking that Ning Fang actually had such a method.
"If there is no such spiritual soil, even if you use the Xiaoyunyu Technique, the little spiritual rain that is collected will not last long and will dissipate. Moreover, it is easier for spiritual rice to survive if it is planted on spiritual soil, and the spiritual soil must be replaced every year. , there will be no effect in the second year. As for the seeds of spiritual rice, it also costs a bucket of spiritual rice."
he added.
"Hiss~"
Gu Dan took a breath.
Soil is actually more expensive than spiritual rice seeds!
And it seems that no one or two really dares to plant spiritual rice on the rocks, otherwise the survival rate will teach them how to behave, and it will be very inconvenient for them to use Xiaoyunyu Jue in the future.
Calculated in this way, spiritual soil must be bought, and it is impossible not to buy it.
"So, after harvesting one stone and two buckets of spiritual rice, what you end up with is only one bucket of spiritual rice? How many spiritual stones can you exchange for?"
Gu Dan asked.
"Three spirit stones."
he replied.
"Oh, that's not bad."
Gu Dan nodded slightly, at least he still had three melons and two dates in his hand.
"You also need a spiritual stone for every year's food."
he added.
Gu Dan: "."
Yes, the harvest of a bucket of spiritual rice that fell into my hands will break my bones.
"Calculating this, how many spiritual stones have you accumulated in eight years?"
Gu Dan asked.
"Two."
"So little? Where did you spend it?"
"I didn't spend the first five years providing free spiritual rice and spiritual soil to the Immortal Workshop. I will be responsible for the profits and losses later. I have to owe the losses first and then make up for them. I originally had three spiritual stones, but I asked someone to exchange one spiritual stone for money. I gave them to my family and only two were left."
he whispered.
"You're quite filial. How much did you pay for one spiritual stone?"
Gu Dan asked curiously.
"One hundred taels."
"One hundred taels? Ridiculous!"
Gu Dan's voice became much higher.
This is not about replacing too much, but too little!
Mortal things and immortal things are almost useless, and it is difficult to convert them. It can only be said that each takes what he needs.
But no matter what, it is impossible for a spirit stone to be worth a mere hundred taels of silver!
If he really wanted to do this, Gu Dan would have to clear out the spiritual stones from the Buzhou Mountain Range.
If the previous series of things can be said that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and a spiritual stone is only exchanged for one hundred taels of silver, then it is an unabashed bullying.
Obviously gold and silver should be nothing to Xianfang, so why be so cruel at all times?
These monks will also grow up. Such unscrupulous disgusting people, when they grow up, what attitude will they face towards the Immortal Workshop?
At this time, Gu Dan finally understood the real reason why the faces of everyone present changed drastically during the Law Enforcement Hall meeting.
A group of monks who were treated as fools by them had spent decades enduring humiliation and hardship to accumulate enough wealth, but in the end their path to advancement was completely wiped out, so they bullied honest people, right?
No wonder Ningfang decided to close the door immediately. Who can withstand this?
Gu Dan suddenly felt that this disaster might be more serious than he thought. Even the most angry ones were probably not the group of masters who were about to expire, but the monks who had been 'cultivated' for decades.
The clay figurine is still angry, why don't you repay Xianfang's kindness?
This is simply a growing barrel of dynamite that has been ignited!
Before the thunder of the spiritual stone crisis could explode, the most deadly thunder had already exploded!
The seriousness of this matter even exceeded Gu Dan's expectation.
