Do not die

October 23rd, early morning.

After another retreat, Meng Zhou came out of the quiet room, but instead of going through the hurried liver removal experience, he wandered around leisurely in the courtyard.

Looking at the gratifyingly growing spiritual seedlings and spiritual plants in the courtyard, I felt calm and happy.

It has been nearly four months since I arrived at Sanchuan Yuan at the end of June. Looking at my cultivation alone, it seems that not much has changed. Advancing from the second floor of foundation building to the third floor of foundation building is just one step forward in the early stage of foundation building.

But taken together, from the most basic qi refining mana, to the body refining qi and blood, to the soul refining, he has achieved a comprehensive surpass of himself at that time.

The cultivation of mana requires accumulation step by step, but the mana of the master-level Spring Water Sutra, rich in vitality, already has a magical effect that is not inferior to the second-level high-grade special spiritual materials.

For beings whose life levels are lower than his, especially those who are Qi Practitioners or mortals, this magic power alone can be called an immortal technique.

After practicing the soul refining method to a small degree, the strength of his soul is already comparable to that of an ordinary sixth-level foundation-building monk.

As the cultivation progresses further, especially the soul refining method is promoted from minor to dacheng, it has steadily crossed the steps from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building.

Before leaving the quiet room, Meng Zhou tried the first second-level high-grade spell, the River Burning Technique.

Although the difficulty of obtaining it is much higher than that of the second-level mid-level spell, the entire spell has no real barrier that can stop him.

As long as he puts in more effort, Meng Zhou is confident that he can overcome it.

However, after a brief try, Meng Zhou stopped spending time on it.

He now finds it extremely difficult to cast second-level mid-level spells. Even if he spends a lot of energy to get started with this spell, it is still useless to him now.

Whether it is the Burning River Technique or the Thunder Drop Technique, in order to have great power, it must be supported by majestic and matching powerful mana.

Meng Zhou has briefly studied the four second-level high-grade spells, which are very interesting. According to their order, the easiest one to learn is the Burning River Technique, followed by the Thunder Drop Technique.

Moving on to the Qi-Wang Technique and the Soul-Shocking Technique, the difficulty of training increases in sequence.

But Meng Zhou felt that he would probably master the two spells of Wangqi and Soul Shock before the two spells of Burning River and Falling Thunder.

Because the requirements of the two techniques of Burning River and Falling Thunder on the level of the soul can be achieved by ordinary monks at the seventh or eighth level of foundation building.

Their power is mainly reflected in the fact that they can make the majestic mana of the monks in the late stage of foundation building pour out like a flood or a volcanic eruption.

As for the two techniques of Wangqi and Soul Shock, the requirements for mana are getting lower and lower. Soul Shock can even be regarded as a complete soul spell.

Its real difficulty lies in its strict requirements on the level of the soul, which may not be possible for ordinary ninth-level foundation-building monks.

But for Meng Zhou, his soul level must reach the peak of the second level before his cultivation.

Therefore, compared to the two techniques of Burning River and Falling Thunder, Meng Zhou had stronger expectations for the two techniques of Wangqi and Soul Shock.

The body training is a little stretched due to the technique, but now it is firmly in the middle to late stage of the second stage.

At the same time, there are many spells that have been cultivated to perfection, and there are even more methods at the master level, covering various aspects such as attack, defense, escape, stealth, and concealment.

In addition, there are also fully strengthened "Qi and Blood Domain" and "Qi and Blood Defense".

It can be said that the current self can easily crush ten of the self from four months ago at the same time - when the gap is so large, it is no longer possible to establish any advantage simply by relying on quantity.

"Second-level low-grade spells, flight escape, armor and shield, object control, shape-shifting, and stealth, all have been perfected."

"Second-level mid-level spells, transformation techniques, and invisibility techniques have all been perfected.

Only the three middle-level spells of wall penetration, cloud and rain, and gentle wind were not perfected. "

"In addition, there are eight medicine master's spells, muscle growth, flying knowledge, inch step, and rope knotting."

Meng Zhou stood in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Two huge Xuanling turtles were floating on the water. Their two heads stretched and retracted flexibly to catch the two beast pellets that Meng Zhou threw to them.

Along with the beast pellets, they also swallowed mana that was rich in vitality.

Along with the beast pills, they merged into the limbs and bones of the Xuanling Turtle.

After handling all this, Meng Zhou sent a message to the grasshopper Yaya lying on a bamboo leaf: "Look after your home."

Then, he flashed forward and appeared in the spiritual field.

Counting from the time he first arrived, he has been diligently cultivating this spiritual field for nearly four months.

Including the original 220 acres of mature spiritual fields and more than 300 acres of desolate spiritual fields that were later developed using chemical transformation techniques.

After this retreat, Meng Zhou did not busy practicing other spells, but decided to continue to open up wasteland.

He no longer used spells such as stealth and invisibility, but continued to use the magic of transformation to break up the hard earth piece by piece.

Compared with the former Grandmaster-level Transformation Technique, the power of the Perfection-level Transformation Technique has more than doubled.

While the power increases, the mana consumption becomes lower.

At the same time, the cultivation level has been improved from the second level of foundation building to the third level of foundation building, and the quality and quantity of mana have been greatly improved.

Under these many factors, the efficiency of land reclamation is also very impressive, with nearly sixty acres of new land being able to be reclaimed in one day.

When he first showed up undisguisedly to open up wasteland in the Lingtian area, not even half a day had passed before Yang Chong and his wife came quickly to see him.

Meng Zhou didn't say much to them and quickly sent them away.

The two of them also knew that they really couldn't help, so they left after a while.

Because the qi-regulating technique must be used frequently, the pharmacist can earn three to four hundred experience points per day.

Just after two days of calming down and clearing up wasteland, I saw two figures flying past from the sky in the distance.

It seemed that Meng Zhou was found working in the spiritual field. The figure leading the way turned around, and the two figures changed their planned route and soon came to the sky above the spiritual field.

The first person was none other than Governor Li.

What fell with him was a middle-aged male cultivator with an elegant appearance.

Seeing Meng Zhou's curious look, he nodded and smiled at him.

Governor Li smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhuang, it's so rare to finally see you in person in this spiritual field."

Meng Zhou pretended to be puzzled and asked: "How do you say this?"

Governor Li said: “In the past few months, I have passed by this place many times, and I have also paid attention to it out of curiosity.

Every time I can see the changes in Lingtian, but I just don’t see you. "

Meng Zhou thought to himself, I didn't want you to see that on purpose.

There were several times when Meng Zhou was actually right under Governor Li’s nose.

However, no matter whether it was the advanced stealth or invisibility skills, Governor Li in the early stages of foundation building could not see through them.

The reason why I didn't show up to see him in person was because I didn't want to disrupt the rhythm of my practice with meaningless greetings.

Seeing that there was no one here, Governor Li naturally wouldn't stay any longer and would leave soon.

The second is that he doesn't want to talk to him about the specific matter of land reclamation. He doesn't want to talk nonsense or make up random things about this kind of thing, but it's also impossible for him to tell the other party the real situation.

In this case, just let the other party know a rough result, and the specific process of land reclamation will be briefly mentioned.

Therefore, when Governor Li mentioned this matter now, he just smiled and said: "That is indeed bad luck."

Then he looked at the elegant middle-aged male cultivator next to him and asked curiously: "Who is this fellow Taoist?"

Governor Li hurriedly said: "Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is fellow Taoist Lu Quan. I am currently accompanying him to choose a suitable place to take root.

Fellow Taoist Lu, this is Fellow Taoist Zhuang Shengzhuang. If you choose to take root here, you must get close to him in the future. "

"Fellow Daoist Lu!" Meng Zhou cupped his hands and said.

Lu Quan smiled and returned the greeting with his hands raised: "Fellow Taoist Zhuang, I'm new here. Please give me your advice in the future."

"It's easy to talk about."

"I just saw you opening up wasteland here. I came here to take a look out of curiosity, so I won't disturb you."

Governor Li bowed his hand to Meng Zhou and was about to fly away.

But suddenly he remembered something, stopped and turned to look at Meng Zhou.

"Fellow Daoist Zhuang, do you plan to plant some seeds together after we open up the wasteland?"

Meng Zhou nodded and said, "Well, yes."

Governor Li reminded:

"The spiritual energy of the newly opened spiritual fields is inherently lazy. If the land is not planted quickly after the land is opened, it will easily be re-deposited and hardened, requiring a second time to clear the land.

Even those mature spiritual fields, which have been plowed for a long time but cannot be planted, also need to be cleared again.

Therefore, don’t leave it idle for too long after you clear it out. "

Having said this, Governor Li paused and then said:

“One more thing, I think I need to remind you that when opening up wasteland and spiritual fields, don’t be greedy for more.

In the past, there were new Taoist friends who wanted to open up thousands of acres of spiritual fields at one time, but they ignored that maintaining spiritual fields was more difficult than opening up wasteland.

For some fellow Taoists, after months of hard work, they are indeed able to open up a large number of spiritual fields.

But after planting, they discovered that the real difficulty was ensuring a constant supply of spiritual water to such a large spiritual field.

Given the special circumstances of Sanchuan Plain, to maintain such a large spiritual field, spending twelve hours a day in the spiritual field is not enough.

There was no time to do anything else. After persisting for a period of time, they had to abandon a large number of spiritual fields that had been cleared and planted in order to balance other aspects of their time arrangements. "

At this moment, not only Meng Zhou was listening carefully, but Lu Quan next to him was also listening carefully.

“Because there is such a precedent, in order to try to prevent future fellow Taoists from blindly clearing wasteland, Sanchuan will have special regulations.

If the newly opened spiritual field is turned back into wasteland due to poor maintenance, resulting in the loss of all the spiritual seeds and seedlings that Sanchuan will put into it for free, the cost will be borne by the developer himself. "

Meng Zhou nodded and said: "This is very reasonable. I don't plan to open too much, just a thousand acres."

After talking about the more serious topic, Governor Li's serious face turned into a smile again.

"Then you have to think about planting now. It's best to notify me a few days in advance so that I can coordinate it for you in advance."

Meng Zhou nodded and said, "The official planting date will be the fifth day of next month."

"The fifth day of next month? Okay, I'll make a note of it and I'll make arrangements when I get back today."

Governor Li asked again:

"Have you thought clearly about what to plant?... If you have any doubts about this, we can also arrange for a spiritual planter to plan it for you."

Meng Zhou shook his head:

"This is not necessary...but what kind of spiritual seeds and seedlings can the Sanchuan Society provide me? Can you give me a reference first?"

Governor Li quickly took out a jade slip and handed it to Meng Zhou:

"It's all included. You can take a look first. It's best to notify me before the end of this month so that I can make arrangements in advance."

Meng Zhou collected the jade slips, watched the two of them go away, and then continued to open up wasteland.

On October 29th, 220 acres of mature spiritual land and 780 acres of newly reclaimed wasteland were opened, for a total of 1,000 acres of spiritual land.

Meng Zhou stopped and did not open up more spiritual fields.

Instead, he plowed the spiritual field that had been plowed before and ran it over again using the techniques of chemical transformation and qi regulation.

This efficiency is much faster than plowing and clearing wasteland. Basically, it only requires a quick walk.

In addition, considering that the Thousand Mu Spiritual Field is too large, Meng Zhou built three new reservoirs, evenly distributed in the Thousand Mu Spiritual Field.

It is also connected to the first reservoir by underground culverts.

Once, Meng Zhou worked for several days in order to "dig" the first reservoir and the culvert connected to the courtyard.

This time, the amount of work was three times that of the first time, but Meng Zhou only took half a day to complete it all.

After doing all this, it was early morning on the 30th.

In the elegant house.

Meng Zhou sent out a flying message, and while waiting for someone to come over, he considered the next arrangements.

After a while, Yang Chong and Liu Ying asked to see them.

When the two of them stood still in front of him, Meng Zhou said:

"I have opened a thousand acres of spiritual fields. Due to the conditions in the Sanchuan Plateau, it is necessary to provide frequent rainfall to irrigate the spiritual plants.

But I don’t like to run into the fields every three days. For this reason, I specially built four reservoirs in the spiritual field and connected them to the ponds through culverts.

From now on, every time it rains for watering, I can cast spells directly in this courtyard.

The spiritual water flows into the four reservoirs through underground culverts, which requires people to arrange for people to draw water from the pools on time to irrigate the spiritual plants. "

After hearing him introduce the situation, Yang Chong and his wife looked at each other, and some of the operations that Senior Zhuang had previously been unable to understand suddenly became clear to them.

Although, in their hearts, they felt that this senior had some quirks.

His behavior, to use a common saying, is called "taking it off and putting it there", which shows that it is unnecessary.

However, isn’t it normal for Foundation Establishment monks to be a little different from ordinary people? !

Before, they were worried because Senior Zhuang was acting too normal, but now they feel much more at ease and at ease.

What's more, they have no room to comment on the decisions of the senior foundation builders. The only thing they can do is to find their own position.

And Senior Zhuang has made his words so clear, and their positions are easy to find.

Yang Chong said: "Senior, do you want the two of us to be responsible for the daily water collection and watering tasks in the Lingtian?"

But what Meng Zhou did was completely beyond their expectations.

He shook his head and said, "This kind of thing can be done by just one person. If you two are asked to do this, wouldn't it be overkill?"

"Besides, the yard outside is so big, and it's just the two of you living there, doesn't it feel too spacey?

I saw that you two would clean the entire yard from time to time. You didn't enjoy that blessing, but you suffered from that burden. "

In the past, before Meng Zhou moved in, Sanchuan would regularly arrange for people to do some basic maintenance.

Since Meng Zhou moved in and the ownership was transferred, Sanchuan Society will naturally not come to maintain it anymore.

Therefore, this matter fell naturally on Yang Chong and Liu Ying.

"Senior, what do you mean?" Yang Chong asked.

Meng Zhou said:

"You go and find more people. I don't care about the level of cultivation or the number of people.

My only request is that the irrigation of the spiritual field cannot be delayed, let alone be fooled in the slightest. "

After saying that, Meng Zhou took out twenty middle-grade spiritual stones and handed them to Yang Chong.

Seeing this, Yang Chong quickly waved his hand and said: "Senior, if this is just your request, you can do it without the need for spiritual stones."

There are many low-level qi-training monks who would not be able to embrace the lap of a foundation-building master. If there is such an opportunity, they can find someone who is willing to stick to the spirit stone.

You know, the aura environment here alone, and living and practicing here for a long time, are enough for people to gain endless benefits.

Meng Zhou forced the spirit stone into Yang Chong's hand and said:

"This is a year's funding. If it's less, you won't make up for it. If it's more, you don't have to refund it. Anyway, my request is that simple. You can arrange other things by yourself."

Finally, he paused and then said:

"You'd better take action now, I have made an appointment with the Sanchuan Association, and the seeds will be officially planted on the fifth day of next month.

If no one is found, then you and your wife will really come to water my thousand acres of spiritual land. "

After hearing this, Yang Chong did not dare to delay at all, and the couple immediately said goodbye and left.

Meng Zhou's spiritual consciousness saw that neither of them returned to the house after leaving the courtyard. Liu Ying directly called out two first-order high-grade giant birds, and quickly flew away with one on each side.

…

After the two left, Meng Zhou walked slowly around the pond.

Beginning from his side, the hard embankment quickly rose, and a hard, dense, smooth stone pillar with a width of more than fifty centimeters grew out from under the ground.

This stone pillar is like a bamboo joint, growing upward little by little, getting taller at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the end, the entire stone pillar grew to a full twenty meters high before it stopped growing upward and became "stretched" to both sides. As Meng Zhou moved forward little by little around the pond, the stone pillar was like a noodle. , was "widened" little by little.

Finally, around the entire pond, a high wall appeared that was twenty meters high, fifty centimeters thick, and harder than a first-level magic weapon.

It fits perfectly, with no trace of patchwork visible, as if it grew out of the ground.

——Well, it does grow from the ground.

Meng Zhou jumped lightly and came to the high wall, overlooking the pond below. The pond with a water level of twenty meters below suddenly became deep.

As Meng Zhou waved his hand, a stream of magic energy flew out with a unique structure and vibration, combined with the spiritual energy in the void, and quickly formed a thick cloud and rain group, no more, no less, no big, no small, just covering the height. The sky above the area enclosed by the wall is like a pot lid.

The next moment, the "pot lid" began to squeeze water into the pond.

Yes, the scale of the rain can no longer be described as rain. It was like a wet towel being quickly squeezed and twisted, and a steady stream of spiritual rainwater poured into the pond from the clouds and rain.

Soon, the water level exceeded the original embankment of the pond, but Meng Zhou had no intention of stopping.

The only thing that could make him stop was his still limited mana.

Now, he can rain for about six minutes.

Filling this super elevated reservoir with water is not an easy task even if it is limited to a corner of the pond and the rain is very heavy.

Although it was possible to cultivate all the thousand acres of spiritual land before this retreat, Meng Zhou decided to plant the seeds on the fifth day of the next month, taking this into consideration.

On the day of planting, Sanchuan Club will arrange many people to cooperate with him to complete the sowing and transplanting of spiritual seeds or spiritual seedlings as quickly as possible.

A thousand acres of spiritual land will definitely require a lot of water. Given his situation, if he doesn't plan ahead and make preparations, he will really make a fool of himself.

On the 30th, Meng Zhou went back and forth between the quiet room and the high wall over and over again.

When the mana is exhausted, go back to the quiet room to adjust your breath and regain your energy. When the mana is restored, go to the high wall to make rain fall on the "pond".

By the time Meng Zhou felt that the negative energy in his body was about to be completely released, less than half of the pavilion in the center of the lake had been submerged.

Only then did Meng Zhou stop using the Cloud and Rain Technique, and stepped back into the quiet room.

While waiting for the last negative energy to be cleared, Meng Zhou took out the jade slip that Governor Li had given him the last time they met.

It records information on all the second-level spiritual plants that the Sanchuan Society can provide and can be planted on a large scale.

It records the quality, value, growth cycle, key points of planting of different spiritual plants, what needs to be taken care of during planting, and how to avoid diseases, insect pests or other yield reductions caused by lack of understanding and improper handling to the greatest extent.

Meng Zhou has studied the contents many times these days. This time, he was just making final confirmation.

After all, he was about to retreat again, and he had to communicate the decision to Governor Li before that, so that he could start preparations.

By the time he finished this retreat, it would already be the third day of November.

Meng Zhou already had some choices in mind, and his criteria for making choices were very different from other monks.

For him, quality and value, two of the most important information for landlords in other villages, can only be used as a reference here.

For him, there is only one most important requirement.

"The cycle must be short. Anything more than five years will not be considered. If it is within five years, quality and value can be appropriately considered. However, shorter cycles still have the highest weight."

As soon as this core standard came out, there was no need to take a second look at 99% of the spiritual plant information in the jade slips.

In addition, Meng Zhou thought about it carefully and added another condition.

“The demand for spiritual rain should not increase linearly from beginning to end or be uniform throughout.

It is best to have a large demand in the early stage, a small demand in the middle, and a large demand in the later stage. "

What does that mean?

Meng Zhou thought beautifully.

Now, since he had to level up anyway, he could devote all his time except for retreat to rain.

It should be noted that in the Cloud and Rain Technique, apart from the shortcoming of mana, the mastery of the Cloud and Rain Technique itself has surpassed the 99% of monks who can use the Cloud and Rain Technique.

The amount of rain he can get in a day is no less than that of other mid-stage foundation-building monks. The only difference is that the frequency of his return energy is much higher than that of others.

But after he had perfected the Cloud and Rain Technique, Meng Zhou was no longer willing to invest too much time and energy in the Cloud and Rain Technique.

Therefore, it is best to reduce the demand for spiritual rain in the mid-term.

As for being more lenient on later demand, it is based on Meng Zhou's confidence in his own growth.

Now he will be troubled by the lack of mana when he performs the Cloud and Rain Technique, but in three to five years, he believes that this trouble will no longer be a trouble.

At that time, when the level of cultivation was high, how much spiritual rain did you want?

Because the requirements are strict, it becomes easier to choose when faced with the large amount of information in the jade slips.

Gradually, it turned into three specific choices.

This time, Meng Zhou's attention fell on one of the choices.

"Jade Heart Zhu Guo, it's you!"

Having made up his mind, Meng Zhou immediately sent a message to Governor Li.

After settling the matter, Meng Zhou accepted the jade slips and went into seclusion with peace of mind.

…

It's early morning on the third day of November.

Meng Zhou woke up from another retreat.

Cultivation progress +120, foundation building level 351/1000;

Second level Spring Water Sutra +600, Master 1200/16000;

Soul Pool Refining Moon Heart +500, Dacheng 1300/8000;

Black Turtle Body Refining Technique +500, Dacheng 2380/4800.

All the gains were the same as expected before the retreat, and there were no advanced changes in the techniques. Meng Zhou looked at it with a very normal mentality.

After finishing the practice, he didn't even think about it with emotion. He just stepped out of the quiet room and came to the high wall outside the courtyard.

Standing on the high wall, Meng Zhou witnessed Yaya's superb performance of controlling water lines to bypass the twenty-meter-high wall with superb skills, and put rainwater at the precise location.

This steeply increasing wall not only did not cause her any trouble, but actually increased her fun.

Meng Zhou saw that she was a little selfless while playing, and the water level that he had finally collected had dropped by twenty or thirty centimeters due to her playing, so he reached out and called her out of the pond and put her on his shoulder.

Then, Meng Zhou began to concentrate on making rain.

The water level rose little by little, and the pavilion in the center of the lake was submerged little by little.

In the end, even the towering spire of the Lake Pavilion was completely submerged under the waterline.

The two mysterious turtles also became more wanton due to the increase in water level, swimming their huge bodies over the lake pavilion from time to time.

Surrounding them were a hundred spiritual fish that were already much larger.

Now, these one hundred spirit fish have become the younger brothers of the two mysterious spirit turtles.

To put it bluntly, to the Hundred-Tailed Little Spirit Fish, it was just the low-quality waste gas emitted by the two Black Spirit Turtles when they digested the beast pellets. It was the supreme delicacy that they could only ask for.

Most of the day in the third grade of junior high school.

A whole day on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

It wasn't until the sky dimmed on the fifth day of the lunar month that Meng Zhou stopped casting spells. Instead of returning to the quiet room, he sat cross-legged on top of the high wall and slowly recovered his breath.

Not long after he regained his energy, Meng Zhou had a thought in his mind, and his consciousness had discovered that many strange monks had entered the boundary monument of Zhuang Tianzhuang.

In the sky, two rays of light were passing through the boundary monument and heading towards the courtyard.

Meng Zhou stood up immediately, disappeared into the courtyard in a flash, and appeared in the Lingtian area the next moment.

He looked at Governor Li who was approaching the courtyard and shouted: "Here it is!"

Governor Li turned to look at Meng Zhou, then immediately changed direction and flew to Meng Zhou's side with another foundation-building monk.

The two landed next to Meng Zhou, and Governor Li introduced: "This is Zhu Qian, a second-level spiritual planter."

Meng Zhou looked at the other party, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, I'm sorry to trouble you today!"

Zhu Qian smiled back.

Meng Zhou was also surprised to see the other party in person.

This spiritual planter is actually a woman. He still remembers the exchange meeting he attended more than a month ago. As long as he has met people, he cannot forget it based on his memory. He is sure that at that gathering, There is no such person.

Governor Li seemed to see Meng Zhou's doubts and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhu was invited by our president from elsewhere last month."

Meng Zhou suddenly nodded.

However, Zhu Qian had already discussed business with Meng Zhou and said, "Fellow Taoist Zhuang, let's take a look at this spiritual field first, how about it?"

Meng Zhou nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Please!"

Zhu Qian walked in front without hesitation, followed by Meng Zhou and Governor Li, one on the left and one on the right.

"Are these spiritual fields?" Zhu Qian asked as they walked.

"Yes, the recorded planting date alone is more than fifty years old." Governor Li responded.

"How many years has it been idle?" Zhu Qian asked again.

"Three years...and a half." Governor Li replied.

"Is this a newly opened spiritual field?" Zhu Qian asked as she walked to an area.

"Yeah." Governor Li said.

Zhu Qian stopped and carefully explored the situation of the surrounding spiritual fields.

“Generally, spiritual fields that have been cultivated for 30 to 50 years will not have any major problems, but this kind of newly opened spiritual fields have the most problems. If they are not handled properly, there may be a possibility of reduced production or even no harvest.

However, in the newly opened spiritual fields, a reduction in production is unavoidable at all costs... Eh. "

Zhu Qian was checking and chatting casually, but suddenly she let out a surprised sound, bent down and grabbed a handful of fluffy soil in her hand.

She allowed the fine soil and sand to flow between her fingers. Finally, when no trace of sand was left on her hands, she looked at Meng Zhou and said, "Fellow Taoist Zhuang, do you know the art of regulating qi?"

Meng Zhou nodded, "I understand a little bit."

A thousand acres of spiritual land was placed here, and there was no way to avoid it, so he nodded generously and admitted it.

Zhu Qian took another serious look at Meng Zhou, and then looked at Lingtian again.

"In this case, there is no big problem in this Huanglingtian."

As she said this, her foot speed increased a lot.

Only about an hour later, the three of them were back where they were.

Zhu Qian said to Meng Zhou: "Fellow Daoist Li told me that Daoist Zhuang decided to plant jade-heart red fruits in this thousand acres of spiritual land?"

Meng Zhou nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhu Qian said nothing, but looked at Governor Li.

Governor Li coughed lightly and said, "Fellow Taoist Zhuang, do you know the characteristics of the Jade Heart Crimson Fruit?"

Meng Zhou nodded and said, "Of course."

Zhu Qian said: "The jade heart red fruit is a vine spiritual fruit. If you plant it now, after two months of nourishment by the soil, when spring comes next year, they will grow rapidly. In just three months, they will grow up to several years old." The vines are ten feet long.

Based on the conditions of Sanchuan Plain, a sufficient supply of spiritual water must be ensured within these three months. If there is any shortage, it will affect the foundation of the future.

After that, there is a three-year breeding period. In the fourth summer, they will bloom and bear fruit in early summer and late summer.

In just three months, many spiritual fruits can go from scratch to something that takes several years or even longer to complete. Their demand for spiritual water will reach a very terrifying level.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it was soaked in spiritual water! "

Meng Zhou nodded and said: "Yes, I know, but since I have made this decision, I am naturally confident to meet his needs."

Hearing this, Zhu Qian looked at Meng Zhou carefully again, then nodded and shut up.

However, Governor Li added: "Among the spiritual fruits of the same level, the value of the Jade Heart Crimson Fruit can only be ranked in the middle range.

This is because the time to achieve results is too short and cannot be compared with some high-value spiritual fruits in terms of accumulation. "

Meng Zhou smiled and said: "I judge that the value of the Jade Heart Vermillion Fruit will surge in the next two or three years."

Governor Li was confused and curious, "Why?"

Meng Zhou asked: "Has the governor been to Qinglinfang?"

Governor Li shook his head.

Meng Zhoudao: "The governor regards spiritual fruit as a raw material in the elixir. This is also everyone's positioning of spiritual fruit. For any kind of resource, auxiliary cultivation is the first, and its value is determined by this factor. Decide.

But in Qinglinfang, in addition to its medicinal value, the edible value of spiritual fruits is also becoming more and more important.

Some clearly have little medicinal value, but they are delicious spiritual fruits, so their value becomes even higher.

Not far from Qinglinfang, there is a first-level spiritual vein called Baiguoyuan.

There are many first-level spiritual fruits produced there every year, and most of them do not enter the alchemy furnace. Instead, they are purchased in bulk by Qingxuan Sect and Qinglinfang Sect to satisfy their appetites. "

Having said this, he looked at Governor Li, then at Zhu Qian, and said:

"If we put aside the medicinal value and only talk about the delicious taste, among the spiritual fruits of the same level, how many do you think are comparable to the Jade Heart Crimson Fruit?"

Meng Zhou tasted this spiritual fruit for the first time in Hexin Tower.

After the foundation was built, Hexin Tower would give away a fruit plate for free. The more times he went there, Meng Zhou discovered an interesting phenomenon, that is, some spiritual fruits weighed more, and they were rotated.

There are some spiritual fruits that are available every time, but the portion is very small, and this is the most delicious and essential part of the fruit plate. Every time he eats it, Meng Zhou feels that he still has something to eat.

Among them, there is one called Yuxin Zhuguo.

Meng Zhou believes that this trend will only be further intensified with the emergence of Jade Lake Fairy City.

After hearing Meng Zhou's explanation, Governor Li fell silent, and so did Zhu Qian.

They originally wanted to persuade Meng Zhou to plant more valuable and more reliable spiritual plants, but now, Governor Li found that he seemed to be being persuaded in the opposite direction.

After a while, Governor Li coughed lightly and said, "There is another problem. Fellow Taoist Zhuang needs to prepare in advance."

Meng Zhou asked: "Is it necessary to prepare a pergola for them?"

Governor Li nodded: "The jade-heart red fruit will grow to several feet in just three months after spring comes next year. From now on, Taoist friends must prepare pergolas for a thousand acres of spiritual land. If the preparations are not enough, The impact will be huge.”

Meng Zhou nodded, and waved to Yang Chong, who was already waiting not far away with a group of more than a dozen junior and mid-level qi-training monks, and said, "Have you heard what the governor said?"

Yang Chong nodded: "I heard it."

"Before the first month of next year, prepare pergolas covering a thousand acres of spiritual land and install them in place. Is it possible?"

Yang Chong nodded and said, "No problem."

So, Meng Zhou turned to Governor Li and said, "No problem."

Governor Li nodded and looked at Zhu Qian.

Zhu Qian waved her hand, and bags flew out of her storage space like arrows, and lined up in a row in the open space in front of her.

Governor Li had already taken a step back, stood side by side with Meng Zhou, and said to Meng Zhou:

"One hundred bags of jade heart and red fruit spiritual seeds, each bag can sow ten acres.

Among them, ninety bags are second-level low-grade, and ten bags are second-order medium-grade. "

In the distance, nearly a hundred Qi-training monks who were originally waiting outside the spiritual field area had gathered towards Zhu Qian at Zhu Qian's signal. After listening to her instructions, they each took their tools and dug furrows in the thousand-acre spiritual field.

"These are all Ling Zhifu who are employed by various parties on weekdays. However, we have an agreement with them. When necessary, we can coordinate them to do some things."

Meng Zhou nodded.

Governor Li spoke implicitly, but in fact the "all parties" he spoke of were the local tyrannical forces born and raised in the Sanchuan Plain. At the exchange meeting that day, there were many local foundation-building monks who were affiliated with the Sanchuan Society in name only, but in fact they all had their own careers.

In their minds, the Sanchuan Plain belongs to them, and the Sanchuan Society can only be regarded as a white glove. However, President Pan is very capable and does things that make people speechless, which creates the illusion that everyone is convinced and obeys the Sanchuan Society. .

The reason why they opened the door to the landowners of Zhuji Zhuang from outside was not because they were generous, but because they couldn't manage it well.

The Sanchuan Plateau has a radius of more than 600 miles. Using the area unit that Meng Zhou is more accustomed to, that is about 300,000 square kilometers.

Among them, the second-level spiritual land covers nearly 150,000 square kilometers.

But due to the lack of enough manpower to open up wasteland and manage it, most of it is wasteland.

More manpower to open up wasteland will not only bring more resources to the Sanchuan Plain, but also allow the large amount of spiritual energy stagnated in the land to flow in the Sanchuan Plain. This is why these local forces are willing to accept the coordination of the Sanchuan Association and send a large number of spirit growers to fight. s reason.

At this moment, several spirit planters, under Zhu Qian's arrangement, had spread out ninety bags of second-grade low-grade and ten bags of second-grade middle-grade Jade Heart Crimson Fruit spiritual seeds evenly in an area with Zhu Qian as the center. .

Zhu Qian took out four array flags that had the effect of accelerating spirit gathering and restoring energy, and placed them around her.

Then, she began to sit cross-legged with her eyes closed, brewing.

Looking at her hand gesture, Meng Zhou had some doubts in his heart.

Then, speechless.

At this moment, he wanted to say: "Get up and let me do it."

However, of course, this thought was just running in my mind, and Governor Li was still watching quietly from the side.

The next moment, as Zhu Qian waved her hands and played the last spiritual secret, a light cyan wind began to blow in all directions with her body as the source.

"Japanese art."

These light green winds are only limited to the area where all spiritual species are located, not exceeding an inch.

Meng Zhou could see that under her continuous gentle breeze, the vitality deeply lurking within the Jade Heart Vermilion Fruit Spirit Seed began to show signs of awakening.

However, at this point, Zhu Qian stopped using the magic formula.

She had been casting spells continuously for more than an hour, her face was a little pale, and she held a medium-grade spiritual stone in her hand while whispering to Ling Zhihu about the follow-up matters.

After giving the instructions, she turned around and came to Meng Zhou and said, "Fellow Taoist Zhuang, the planting will be officially started soon. You should moisten the soil first."

Meng Zhou nodded, but under Zhu Qian's gaze, he did not intend to cast rain spells. Instead, he flicked his fingers in the direction of the courtyard, and saw bursts of rushing sounds coming from the ground. The originally dry reservoir was soon filled with a steady flow of spiritual water, and flowed along the culvert to other reservoirs.

Yang Chong and others, who had been on standby for a long time, began to collect water and moisten the soil nearby, although the efficiency was not as fast as direct rainfall.

But the speed is really not slow.

"..." Zhu Qian.

Meng Zhou instead asked another question that he was more concerned about:

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, I see that you seem to have only awakened them slightly, can't you fully awaken them?

Do jade-heart red fruit seedlings have to wait until spring to take root and sprout? "
