Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

Spring is here, everything comes to life, and it's mating season again.

The Sun-Moon Alliance Helms Leaders Conference is about to begin, and it’s time for many males to become jealous.

Zhang He really didn't want to think that he was like a male animal on the prairie, fighting for mating rights and getting beaten to death.

He always felt that it was embarrassing for a group of big men to fight to death for such things all day long.

However, there are some things that you can't just stay out of if you don't want to.

Others may be hostile to you because of this reason. Even if you don't show up, you will stumble in the dark. Who told him to get the moon first when he is near the water?

It is easy to hide from an open gun, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow.

Therefore, Zhang He sacrificed Fat Tiger for a day and got a list in exchange. This list really shocked him, with a total of 18 people.

These 18 people are all strong among the helmsmen of each branch, and even the least qualified are not qualified to have such an idea.

They range in age from seventy or eighty to two or three hundred years old.

Well, this age is a bit exaggerated.

All in all, Mei Yingxue should be eighty or ninety years old.

This is equivalent to a love-hate relationship between a square dancing uncle and an aunt.

However, compared to these messy things between men and women, Zhang He also paid attention to another thing.

That is, the internal structure of the Sun-Moon Alliance is relatively loose, and there are rarely gatherings unless there is anything going on.

And this time, gathering all the helmsmen together should not be a trivial matter.

Since each sub-helm usually has its own things to be busy with and is spread far and wide, it is not easy to summon them together.

Therefore, a few months of buffer time were left. Now there are still four months before the party. Zhang He also wants to make some preparations in advance. It is always right to at least get some more information.

……………………

As the capital of the Central Plains, Chendu still has a dark side behind its prosperity.

In a small alley in Chendu, the place is dirty, messy, and smelly, with flies and bugs flying around, and the mud and filth are the same color.

Pedestrians could only rush by with their hands covering their noses.

There are many such dilapidated alleys in Chendu, where people from all walks of life live at the bottom of society.

It also spawned many shady groups.

There are beggar groups that specialize in harvesting and cutting, there are hawkers that specialize in human trafficking, there are groups that organize delinquent women to engage in the skin and meat trade, there are those that simply sell themselves as coolies to survive, and there are also those that specialize in murder and smuggling.

Zhang He now changed into coarse linen clothes and walked in this alley.

In the small door next to him, there were some hospitable women who greeted him and invited him to come into the house to play, but he refused them all righteously.

He walked directly to a broken door before stopping.

"Dong dong dong dong..."

The knock on the door sounded with a special rhythm. After a while, the broken door opened. A middle-aged man in ragged linen clothes opened the door, then turned back and walked inside in silence.

Zhang He followed and closed the broken door.

After walking into this small door, and then turning a few more turns and passing through a few doors, I saw that everything in front of me had changed drastically.

He is now in a secret room, which is completely isolated from the alleys outside. Although it is not magnificent, it is clean and tidy.

This is the branch of Shadow Pavilion in Chendu.

"Shadow Twelve pays homage to the young master!"

Ying Twelve is a plain-looking man who looks very ordinary. He is already the second Ying Twelve. The previous one died in the hands of demons from the Sui Kingdom many years ago.

After saluting Zhang He, Ying Twelve took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhang He.

Zhang He took it and looked at it. It was the information collected by Shadow Pavilion during this period.

He has been away for more than a year, and everything is normal in Blackwater County.

Since he brought back a batch of spiritual stones as start-up capital last time, Blackwater County has recovered from the previous war.

Last year, there was a severe drought in Lu State and several surrounding countries. Since Heishui County had attached great importance to water conservancy construction a long time ago, it was not much affected by this drought and the grain harvest continued to be bumper.

In fact, many natural disasters are mixed with human factors, such as droughts and floods, which are a test of water conservancy infrastructure.

The traditional nobles everywhere have no idea of ​​doing practical things for the tenants. Therefore, the small tenants at the bottom can be defeated by just a small disaster.

Therefore, this year, refugees are everywhere again.

Wei Peng took this opportunity to vigorously absorb the refugees. Anyway, Heishui County currently has a small population and can support the current population if it expands ten times.

Recruit refugees to settle in Heishui County, organize the refugees to reclaim land, build water conservancy projects, plant trees, etc.

Of course, the afforestation organized by Wei Peng is not for greening, let alone reducing emissions.

Instead, economic forests are planted on some barren hills.

Mainly plant green hills, chestnut trees, persimmon trees and other forest trees that can replace food.

The fruit produced by the Qinggang tree is acorns. An adult Qinggang tree can bear hundreds of kilograms of fruit. Moreover, this kind of tree only needs to be planted and allowed to grow naturally without any special care.

Acorns taste terrible, and their price is the lowest among all grains. However, with the current economic level of the Zhou Dynasty, the bottom tenants really can't live without it. In many cases, they can't even afford acorns.

In addition, the neighbors of the Blackwater Army, the Flying Cavalry Army led by Feng Zhen and Meng Sheng.

This army sent by the Zhou royal family has been stationed in Lu and Sui after defeating the demons, said to be to prevent the demons from counterattacking.

Anyway, the Sui Kingdom and the northern part of the Lu Kingdom were prospering under their governance, and they performed well during this drought. At least there were no large numbers of refugees.

The intelligence sent by the Shadow Pavilion covers a wide range of areas, and there is also a lot of news about Chen Guo.

One of the pieces of news is that there seems to be something wrong with Chen Wanggong's health today.

The specific situation is unknown. After all, this level of information is not easy for Shadow Pavilion to obtain.

In addition, in the past six months, various assassination commissions have suddenly increased a lot in Chen State.

Based on these pieces of information, Zhang He felt that something was about to happen.

"I have a list here, help me investigate secretly."

After reading the information, Zhang He took out the list of 18 helmsmen of the Sun-Moon Alliance and asked the Shadow Pavilion to investigate.

"I obey my orders!"

After Ying Twelve took over the list, he took out another jade tablet.

"Sir, we got an invitation letter to the Palace in the Sky. Are you interested in going?"

Zhang He took the jade token with great interest and took a look. It should also be a magic weapon.

Among the palaces in the sky, in addition to the place where Chen Guo's court worked, there was another street.

This street in the Sky Palace is equivalent to a very high-end commercial street. People who can come here are either rich or noble.

The mere qualification to enter has blocked most of the monks. Even if you are a Jindan or Nascent Soul and do not have a certain status, you are not qualified to enter.

Zhang He held the jade plaque in his hand, and he was naturally very interested in what was on it.

After coming out of this alley, Zhang He specially found a place and changed into a white satin robe with a half-opened winter plum embroidered with gold thread. He tied a jade belt around his waist and tied his hair up. Plug in a hosta.

After looking in the mirror, I felt like I had stepped out of a painting. There was no trace of a country bumpkin on my body. Then I flew towards the palace in the sky with satisfaction.

This is like going to a club to find young models. You have to pretend that you always look for them.

The sky palace is located in a very high position, and ordinary foundation-building monks cannot fly up.

When he was getting closer and closer to the palace complex, at this moment, two huge iron-winged birds flew in front of him, with a golden elixir monk sitting on each of the iron-winged birds.

"Stop whoever comes!"

"Please show me the token!"

It turned out that these two golden elixir monks who looked quite attractive were actually just gatekeepers, equivalent to the role of security guards.

Zhang He quickly took out the jade tablet. One of the Jindan monks took out a magic weapon and shined a light on the jade tablet in Zhang He's hand.

The jade tablet in Zhang He's hand immediately shone brightly, and then the light on both sides stopped, and the jade tablet in Zhang He's hand became dim.

It seems that this jade token can only be used once and will not be used next time.

"Fellow Taoist, please come in!"

The two drove the iron-winged bird to get out of the way.

When Zhang He landed on a step, he quietly stamped his feet and found that the thing was quite stable hanging in the air.

The moment he stepped onto the sky street, he felt like he was in another world.

There is a light fragrance in the air, which makes people feel refreshed, as if the pores all over the body are relaxed, and the inside and outside are smooth.

He didn't know where this scent came from. Seeing that other people on the street were accustomed to it, Zhang He temporarily put aside his curiosity and walked towards the street in front.

This street is not long, with only nine shops in total, and there are not many people walking on the street. After all, so many people are filtered out, and this place is only open to a small number of high-quality people.

There was a shop called Lingyao Pavilion on the left, and Zhang He strolled in.

"welcome!"

Eight stunning women lined up at the door, all saluting him in the most standard manner.

Zhang He only glanced at it. Any one of these eight people was qualified to become the kind of beauty who would bring disaster to the country and the people.

Even a man like Zhang He, who is not very lecherous, wants to take one...and eight of them back at this moment, and live a corrupt and degenerate life. From then on, the king will not go to court early.

Moreover, these eight stunning women all have foundation-building level cultivation.

What Zhang He didn't know was that the qualifications of these eight people were all excellent at practicing Jealous Cauldron, which would be of great use to some monks.

There are not many decorations in the hall of Lingyao Pavilion, and it looks very grand.

Immediately, a good-looking maid walked up to guide him and softly introduced him to various products in the store.

The Spiritual Medicine Pavilion mainly deals in the elixir business, but the elixirs sold in the store are all high-quality.

Thousand-year-old elixirs that are precious in other places are not uncommon here.

"This thousand-year-old Sakyamuni flower only sells for 100 spiritual stones?"

Zhang He looked at the price tag in front of him with confusion, which truly said 100 spirit stones.

"Reporting back to senior, it is indeed true that 100 second-grade spiritual stones are worth it. Do you need to buy one, senior?"

Zhang He quickly shook his head and realized that the prices listed here were all for second-level spiritual stones, and he almost made a joke.

The spiritual stones that everyone uses daily are all first-order spiritual stones. The value of second-order spiritual stones is 100 times that of first-order spiritual stones.

One second-level spiritual stone is equivalent to 100 first-level spiritual stones.

Zhang He had obtained some second-level spiritual stones before, but he was not willing to use them.

Because second-level spiritual stones are much more convenient than first-level spiritual stones for arranging formations, spiritual tools, puppets, etc. After all, one piece is stronger than a hundred.

"No, I just think it's quite cheap."

He has also planted several of these Sakyamuni flowers in his space, but they are not yet a thousand years old.

He got it by exchanging contribution points at the Sun-Moon Alliance Headquarters. He only spent two contribution points at that time.

He has space, and he doesn't mind at all if the elixir has a shorter age, but he is unwilling to spend a lot of money to buy elixirs with a higher age.

Unless seedlings and seeds cannot be found.

Since Zhang He entered the golden elixir stage, he has not been able to refine elixirs suitable for use in the golden elixir stage.

The reason was that Lu State was too remote and there were only a few dozen Golden Elixir monks in its heyday. He had never been able to find all the elixirs needed for the elixir recipe.

In the past, most of the golden elixir monks in Lu State did not have the habit of taking elixirs for practice, because even if their families had spiritual fields passed down from their ancestors, they could not gather a complete set of medicinal materials.

Fortunately, the Sun-Moon Alliance is a good place, allowing Zhang He to use his contribution points to collect all the elixirs for a pair of True Essence Pills. Now they are planted in the space, and the Sakyamuni flower he just saw is one of them.

However, the healing elixir has not yet been found.

At this moment, Zhang He was staring at an elixir that was as white as jade.

This is exactly the healing medicine he has been looking for, called White Jade Ginseng, which is known as the holy medicine for healing.

But the price of this white jade ginseng is not cheap either. The price is 200 second-level spiritual stones, which is equivalent to 20,000 ordinary spiritual stones.

You must know that several thousand-year-old elixirs cultivated by Zhang He in the past were only sold for thousands of spiritual stones each.

This white jade ginseng is only a thousand years old, but its price is several times that of other thousand-year-old elixirs.

In fact, Zhang He also knew that the price was quite reasonable.

Because white jade ginseng must grow on jade mines with rich spiritual energy, and the ambient temperature can only be kept at low temperatures. If it is slightly higher, it will die.

The harsh growing conditions make white jade ginseng extremely rare, and the price is sky-high. If you can buy one here, you are lucky.

"Help me get this one."

Zhang He gave instructions to the maid beside him, and then looked forward.

"Eh! Yun Shenmu?"

Not far away, Zhang He stopped again because he discovered that there was a Yun Shenmu for sale in the drugstore.

He needs Yun Shenmu to practice his clone. He found a ball refined from Yun Shenmu from Aowu's puppet.

Moreover, the puppet refining technique he obtained from Aowu's memory also required the Yun Shenmu to entrust his spiritual consciousness.

What is placed on the shelf in front of you is a seedling that is only one foot tall and has probably only been growing for more than ten years.

The Yun Shenmu needs to grow for at least a thousand years to become useful.

But the seedling in front of me, which is only more than ten years old, is priced at 500 spirit stones, which is already a sky-high price.

Because I spent a lot of money to buy it back, but it can’t be used. It has been planted and cultivated for thousands of years, and I can’t use it until I die of old age.

Moreover, Yun Shenmu was originally a spiritual tree that was difficult to grow and survive.
