Longevity, Starting From Raising Chickens

Chapter 290 Spiritual Planting Department

"The first day of cultivating the ghost-patterned skink lizard: after depositing longevity energy, there is no change, but this is also normal. I prepared enough food for it..."

"...On the second day of cultivation: there is still no change, and the food intake has not changed."

"...The third day, as above."

"...On the fourth day, I was a little disappointed. According to past experience, the Shouyuan deposit will change on the third day at the latest, and the degree will be mild or severe... but it still has no change. Maybe this method is good for the ghost stone." The dragon lizard is of no use, or maybe I should be patient and wait."

"...On the seventh day, this attempt failed. So far, there has been no change in its body. It seems that I should deposit more longevity yuan into it."

"...On the eleventh day, it became pregnant, and I didn't do anything to it..."

"...Today is the nineteenth day. Its lower abdomen is obviously swollen. Other than that, there is no sign of promotion at all on its body."

In Wang Ba's house alone, Wang Ba put down his pen and paper and gently closed his record book.

He looked with some disappointment at the ghost-patterned skink lying at his feet, whose belly was obviously bigger.

For more than half a month, he had provided him with delicious food and drinks, but the other party had no intention of making a breakthrough at all.

On the contrary, my body has gained a lot of weight.

At first, he was reluctant to get close to Wang Ba, but now, due to Wang Ba’s daily feeding, he basically follows Wang Ba wherever he goes.

Of course, this is not because it has high intelligence, but because it is stupid... so stupid that it only has the instinct to eat.

"Sigh... that's right. If it were so easy to break through, it wouldn't be the case that all the peak masters of the Beast Peak have failed to improve it over the years."

Wang Ba shook his head slightly, and casually took out a disc-sized jade cockroach from the spirit beast bag, which was struggling desperately, and threw it out. The ghost-patterned skink lizard was lying lazily at Wang Ba's feet, with slightly narrowed eyes. His hazel vertical pupils suddenly opened, and his forked blue-black tongue was like a sharp arrow, which quickly and easily rolled the emerald cockroach in mid-air into his mouth.

"Click, click"

A crispy sound sounded in the mouth of the ghost-patterned skink.

There was also the sound of juice bursting in the middle.

It sounds very appetizing...that's weird.

Wang Ba kicked the opponent to the side in disgust.

To be honest, when he didn't eat cockroaches, he thought the ghost-patterned skink was pretty pretty, but after eating cockroaches...

Walked out of the house.

Wang Ba then saw Bu Chan working in the spiritual field with a big belly.

Since there was no one else on Wanfa Peak, with Yao Wudi's nod, Wang Ba and Bu Chan introduced the unused Rank Four spiritual veins into the spiritual field and opened up two acres of Rank Four spiritual field. .

It’s just that the spiritual field is of high grade, but it may not be a good thing for low-grade spiritual plants. Too much energy will increase the burden of the spiritual plant’s growth, so the spiritual planter needs to frequently drain the Spirit Communication Qi. Only in this way can the Rank be brought into play. The effect of Four Spiritual Fields.

Of course, this situation also places a heavier burden on the spiritual planter.

Especially Bu Chan is only a Rank Two spiritual planter.

In addition to these two acres of Rank Four spiritual fields, there are also more than thirty acres of Rank Two spiritual fields, which can be opened up with a little tidying up under the strong spiritual energy surrounding them.

It is filled with Rank Two spiritual rice.

An environment full of aura is both a good and a bad thing.

Spiritual plants grow quickly and healthily.

But under the influence of spiritual energy, it is also more difficult to deal with weeds.

It is necessary to ensure that when pulling out weeds, the spiritual plants will not be implicated, and at the same time, the overall flow of spiritual energy in the spiritual field must not be disrupted.

There are considerable requirements for the spiritual planter's physical strength and magic power.

This is also the reason why there is this spiritual planter. Farming is never a simple matter.

But the truth is this, Wang Ba still walked into the spiritual field with some distress, and stopped Bu Chan who was stained with sweat and had lost a lot of mana.

"Senior brother..."

Bu Chan looked at Wang Ba unexpectedly.

"I'll do it, you go and have a rest."

Wang Ba carefully wiped away a bit of plaster on Bu Chan's forehead.

He didn't deliberately help the other party.

There is absolutely no need for this. After all, although she is pregnant, she is still a Foundation Building monk, so she is not so weak.

Bu Chan was not so pretentious. Seeing Wang Ba's rare considerate look, a smile appeared in his eyes, but he gently pushed Wang Ba away:

"No need, you are too clumsy and always bring out the spiritual plants, so I'll do it."

Wang Ba, however, firmly pulled Bu Chan out of the spiritual field:

"It's just a few spiritual plants. If you're exhausted, it's not worth it."

"How can I be exhausted? I am the Foundation Building..."

Bu Chan couldn't help but roll her eyes at Wang Ba, and then said seriously:

"Besides, we are raising more and more spiritual chickens. If we don't hurry up, we won't be able to keep up with the chicken feed."

"The Blue Water Spirit Turtle is fine for the time being. It's okay to have a full meal and stop for a few years... I recently planted some of the spiritual fruit seeds I saved before, which will allow the Spirit Turtle to grow better. "

"Chicken stuff..."

After hearing Bu Chan's words, Wang Ba couldn't help but ponder.

Since he made an agreement with Gu Wen of Feiyu Peak on the supply of spirit chicken essence, he once again asked Jia Fifteen and Jia Seventeen to start the sowing mode.

Among them, Jia Fifteen and Jia Sixteen are already Rank Three spirit chickens. Jia Sixteen had laid about ten eggs before, thanks to Jia Fifteen's efforts.

But most of them are white eggs that cannot be hatched.

Only three eggs were fertilized, and they have been incubating for several months now, but there is no sign of breaking out of their shells.

If Wang Ba hadn't been able to clearly feel the beating life inside, he almost thought the hatching had failed.

However, Wang Ba is really looking forward to what kind of spiritual chicken these three eggs can hatch.

According to past experience, there is a high possibility of being born as a Rank Three.

If it is confirmed, then Wang Ba can start researching the recipe for the essence of Rank Three Spirit Chicken.

Not just ordinary broiler chickens, the phoenix-feather chickens that had been almost forgotten by Wang Ba and had no use except for their beauty, as well as the black-feather chickens that were hybridized between white-singing chickens and phoenix-feather chickens, were also re-bred by Wang Ba. stand up.

These spiritual chickens are all mutated varieties. If they are used as the main ingredients of spiritual food recipes, they can probably also be contributed as a new recipe.

However, the quantity is not large at present, so Wang Ba has no plans to refine it for the time being.

It's just that it's difficult to increase the number of these two kinds of spiritual chickens. For the former, even if the mothers are all Phoenix-feather chickens, the probability of their offspring being Phoenix-feather chickens is still extremely low.

The number of black-feathered chickens is even more difficult to increase. Since they do not have the ability to reproduce, they can only be born by repeated matings of phoenix-feathered chickens and white-singing chickens.

Of course, once the basic number of these two kinds of spiritual chickens increases, everything will be easy to say in the future.

And this means that a large supply of chicken feed is needed.

The key point is that although Bu Chan is a spiritual planter, it is indeed a bit difficult for one person to handle so many spiritual fields and spiritual plants.

"It seems that we need to find someone who supplies chicken feed..."

Wang Ba thought secretly in his heart.

However, compared to before, it is much easier now. There is a spiritual plant department in Mu Xing Division, and you can get it from there.

"We'll look for him after the holiday is over."

These thoughts were fleeting, but Wang Ba still resolutely gave in and let the cicada rest beside him, and went to the fields to pull weeds and clear the air.

Rao is his Heavenly Dao Foundation Building. He has a deep foundation and abundant mana in his second Dantian. After working for a while, he still feels a little overwhelmed.

Bu Chan saw Wang Ba's clumsy look on the side and couldn't hide his smile, but he hesitated to speak.

I really want to teach Wang Ba how to do it with the least effort.

But she didn't say anything in the end. When Wang Ba felt a little tired, she quietly returned to the spiritual field and continued to be busy.

At sunset, Wang Ba stood in the spiritual field, looking at the weeds in the field and the cicada covered in mud. The two looked at each other and smiled.

The round afterglow of the setting sun dragged the two people's figures very, very long.

The second day.

The second floor of the Bamboo House of the Spiritual Food Department.

Wang Ba stood in front of Cui Daqi's desk and bowed:

"Excuse me, uncle."

Cui Daqi nodded slightly:

"That's right, I'll just come to your uncle if you have anything to do...Linggu Bran, right? It might be a bit difficult to deal with Rank Four..."

"No need for Rank Four, uncle, just the chaff from the spiritual rice of Rank Two and Rank Three will do."

Wang Ba said quickly.

Rank Two spirit grain bran is basically enough for most spirit chickens, but now both Jia Fifteen and A Sixteen are Rank Three spirit chickens. If A Seventeen is cultivated for a while, they will probably follow suit. The number of Rank Three spirit chickens will gradually increase, and Rank Three spirit grain chaff will definitely be used. This can be regarded as a precautionary measure.

"It's not Rank Four, that's easy to handle!"

Cui Daqi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

As the head of the spiritual food department, he naturally knows a lot about spiritual plants, one of the important sources of spiritual food.

Spiritual rice is very common in Rank One and Rank Two, but when it reaches Rank Three, both variety and output start to become scarce.

As for the Rank Four spiritual rice, it is the treasure of the spiritual plant department. The yield is extremely low and the growth time is extremely long. Even the spiritual rice bran may not be able to be supplied to Wang Ba.

"Okay, just forget about this matter. It's just some unused spiritual grain chaff. I have been friends with Director Ma of the Spiritual Planting Department for many years. After today is over, you and I can go directly to him. yes."

Cui Daqi took over everything.

This is indeed not a big deal, just some unnecessary spiritual chaff.

Of course, strictly speaking, this is the property of the sect after all. Although it is not worth mentioning, it still needs the minister's nod.

Wang Ba was not too worried.

Compared with the Chen Guodong Sheng Sect who wants to break a piece of spiritual energy into two parts and make full use of such completely useless things as spiritual grain chaff, the conditions of the Myriad Manifestations Sect are much superior, with abundant spiritual energy. The monks don't need to be too frugal, and therefore, the chaff of the spirit grain is useless here, and it is usually burned with a fire.

Normally, the people in the Spiritual Food Department would not make things difficult for him.

really.

After Wang Ba refined one hundred parts of fairy tree treasure pulp in one breath, he followed Cui Daqi to the Lingzhi Department not far from the Spirit Food Department.

The Lingzhi Department is also a two-story bamboo house.

It's just that compared to the people in the spiritual food department who need to refine spiritual food in the bamboo house, the people in the spiritual plant department rarely stay in the bamboo house.

So much so that when Wang Ba arrived at the Lingzhi Department, he felt that the area was a bit empty.

"Minister Cui wait a moment, Minister Ma is patrolling the medicine field and will be back soon."

Inside the bamboo house.

A Gold Core deacon of the Lingzhi Department, dressed as a farmer, poured tea for Cui Daqi and Wang Ba quite skillfully.

"It's okay, I'll wait for him here."

Cui Daqi was not in a hurry.

Compared with the leisure of the Spirit Food Department, the Spirit Plant Department is undoubtedly the largest and busiest department in the entire Wood Department.

The Spiritual Planting Department is also responsible for supplying spiritual rice and spiritual fruit to the Spiritual Food Department, Spirit Medicine to the Alchemy Department, and spiritual grass to the Beast Department's spirit beasts, etc.

These things are very labor intensive.

It is precisely because of this that even the ministers of the Spiritual Planting Department have to go out in person and call out to the Hall of Human Virtues every day for the lack of people.

However, the Human Virtue Hall can’t do anything about it. You can’t lower the threshold for recruiting just because of lack of people. People from the puppet department have been arranged to cooperate. Unfortunately, the puppet refined can also handle simple farming and the like, which is a bit useful. , but not big.

Wang Ba is also not in a hurry, as long as he finds a supply of chicken feed, Buchan will be able to relax, although the more spiritual plants and higher grades the spiritual planter cultivates, the more helpful it will be for the spiritual planter.

But cultivation also pays attention to relaxation and relaxation. Bu Chan has been so busy, Wang Ba is also a little worried.

He had been worried and worried for the past thirty or forty years, but now he finally had a stable life, and he didn't want Bu Chan to still be so hard.

However, the Spiritual Planting Department was obviously very busy until it was completely dark.

Several figures hurriedly flew down from a distance.

The leader looked like an old farmer, with his sleeves rolled up and his trouser legs rolled up. His exposed skin was dark and cracked. Wang Ba really couldn't imagine how a monk could look like this.

After all, mortals will get dark if they are exposed to the sun, but monks have no such idea.

When the old farmer saw Cui Daqi, he was startled for a moment, and then a smile like an old chrysanthemum broke out on his face:

"Old Cui, why didn't you say anything when you came? I just came from the wolfberry field. There are many wolfberry trees that are thousands of years old..."

"cough!"

Cui Daqi originally wanted to say hello with a smile on his face, but after hearing this, he coughed quickly and changed the topic:

"Haha, Lao Ma, I came here to ask you something..."

"Is something wrong?"

When the old farmer saw Cui Daqi's solemn look, he immediately thought of something and his expression changed slightly:

"Don't tell me that your department has incurred overexpenditures again this time."

"No way!"

Cui Daqi listened to the big talk and quickly explained his purpose, pointing at Wang Ba:

"This is a young nephew of mine. He raises a lot of spiritual beasts and needs spiritual grain chaff as food. Look here..."

"Spiritual grain chaff?"

When the old farmer heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again:

"It's a small thing. There's a lot of spiritual energy left in this thing. It's best to feed it to chickens and ducks, but we usually don't bother to do that anymore."

Cui Daqi quickly said again:

"He currently needs at least 10,000 kilograms of Rank Two spiritual grain chaff and one thousand kilograms of Rank Three spiritual grain chaff per month. In terms of price..."

"No matter what the price, they are all unwanted items. It just so happens that he takes them away, which saves trouble. Besides, they are all from his family."

He immediately looked at Wang Ba, pointed to a Gold Core deacon next to him with a kind smile and said:

"You go to him about this matter. His surname is Qiu. If he can't handle it well, you go to me."

In a few words, the matter was settled.

Although Wang Ba knew that with Cui Daqi coming forward, things would not be too troublesome, but it was so easy and did not even cost a spiritual stone, which was beyond Wang Ba's expectations.

This was an ease he had never experienced in the first thirty or forty years of his practice.

Cui Daqi promptly reminded him: "Wang Ba, you can just call him uncle."

"Yes, Wang Ba, thank you, uncle."

Wang Ba quickly bowed and saluted the old farmer.

“Wang Ba…”

The old farmer was slightly confused, and felt as if he had heard it somewhere before.

However, Cui Daqi's words immediately attracted his attention.

But the Gold Core deacon appointed by the old farmer said to Wang Ba in a cold tone:

"Fellow Daoist, I don't know if there are any requirements for the type of spirit grain chaff..."

Fellow Daoist?

Wang Ba was slightly startled.

In the Myriad Manifestations sect, this title is not common, because they are all from the same sect, so calling them like this is a bit alienating. Generally, those who are close to each other in cultivation are casually called senior brothers and sisters first, and then talk about each other's seniority after they get acquainted with each other.

Wang Ba glanced at the other party's reluctant expression, reacted immediately, and said apologetically:

"Brother Qiu, please, any variety is fine."

As he spoke, he took out two pieces of spirit chicken essence from his sleeves and gave them to the other party.

Seeing Wang Ba being so polite, Deacon Qiu's complexion immediately improved a lot.

Wei Wei waved his hand: "Junior Brother Wang, who do you think I am?"

Wang Ba wanted to give more, but the other party refused.

This made Wang Ba look slightly sideways.

At this time, Deacon surnamed Qiu took out a jade slip from the Law Weapon in storage and carefully recorded:

"Ten thousand kilograms of Rank Two spirit grain chaff every month, and one thousand kilograms of Rank Three spirit grain chaff, right? Where to send them?"

"Huh? There's no need to give them away. I feel bad about getting these for nothing."

Wang Ba said quickly after hearing this.

"It's okay. I'll ask. If it's close, it's okay to send it over."

Deacon surnamed Qiu said.

In the end, he couldn't resist the other party's sincerity, so Wang Ba had to say:

"I'm at Wanfa Peak, senior brother, you..."

The words have not yet finished.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in Wang Ba's ear:

"You said you were at Wanfa Peak?!"

At the same time, the old farmer's dark and chapped face appeared in front of him instantly, eyes full of anger, staring at Wang Ba!

Cui Daqi on the side was stunned, suddenly thought of something, and secretly said: "Oh no!"

Immediately, he quickly dodged and stopped in front of Wang Ba. He looked nervously at the old farmer in front of him:

"Lao Ma, he is just a disciple of Senior Brother Yao. You and Senior Brother Yao..."

"Get out of the way! Cui Daqi, don't force me to do something to you!"

The old farmer said angrily.

The change came so fast that Wang Ba couldn't help but be stunned.

Xuan even reacted immediately, and the first thought in his mind was:

"Master must have bullied him before..."

Wang Ba didn't panic too much. Since the other party didn't take action immediately, it meant that he was still conscious, but his emotions were a little difficult to control for a while.

With Cui Daqi here, there is no need to worry about his own safety.

At this moment, he was more speechless in his heart.

"Master, how many people has he bullied..."

Since the day he entered the sect, he has met important figures such as Luo Yuzhong, the deputy head of the Rende Hall, Song Dongyang, the deputy head of the Diwu Hall, He Jiugui, the deputy minister of the Spiritual Food Department, and Minister Ma of the Spiritual Planting Department... …These people have all been bullied by Master.

It's hard to imagine how annoying this old man was back then.

But no matter how suspicious he is, he is still his master.

It’s just that the low profile that Master said is really feasible when so many sect bosses have been offended?

Maybe it’s time for me to adjust my thinking.

"How did Yao deceive me back then? Have you really forgotten?!"

The old farmer glared at Cui Daqi angrily.

The whole room was filled with the aura of the Nascent Soul monks, and the spiritual plant monks on the side were also stunned by this scene.

In their memory, they had never seen the minister so angry.

Cui Daqi smiled bitterly: "I know, why don't I know, but... Wang Ba, he is innocent. He has only been in the sect for a few months. Even if you are unhappy, just look for Senior Brother Yao..."

"If I could beat him, wouldn't I go?"

The old farmer couldn't help but said angrily.

Cui Daqi: "Uh..."

When Wang Ba heard this, he knew he shouldn't laugh, but he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

This Minister Ma...has really gone too far.

Hesitating slightly, he thought carefully and stood up.

"Wang Ba!"

Cui Daqi said quickly.

Wang Ba gave Cui Daqi a reassuring look, then raised his hands and clasped his fists at the old farmer and said:

"Disciple Wang Ba, I have met Uncle Ma."

The old farmer narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Wang Ba.

There was a sharp light in his eyes:

"How brave!"

"What do you want to say?"

Wang Ba was respectful and calm:

"As the saying goes, once I am a teacher, I am always a father. Master treats me with kindness. As a disciple, since I have enjoyed the teachings given by master, I must also bear the consequences of everything the master has done."

"I don't know the situation between Master and Uncle Ma. If my Master does the right thing, I naturally have nothing to say and I will just listen to you."

"If my master did something inappropriate, as a disciple, I have nothing to say, but I am willing to make up for the mistakes my master has done."

"you?"

The old farmer sneered:

"You are just a Foundation Building monk, what ability can you make up for the mistakes made by your master?"

"Have you seen my face? Have you seen the color of my skin? I was about to become a Taoist couple with a female cultivator, but your master used the 'Great Sun Technique' to burn me, both my soul and my body. So, it’s been like this ever since! He even admitted that he made a mistake, can you make up for it?!"

Wang Ba was silent for a moment.

…

at the same time.

Shaoyin Mountain Mission Hall.

A naked figure fell down quietly.
