National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants

Not only did his digestion speed of spiritual rice increase, but the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy and converting it into his own cultivation also increased.

For example, if half a bowl of spiritual rice was enough for a day's digestion and absorption before, now he can eat one bowl.

If he ate half a bowl of spiritual rice before, the spiritual energy converted from the digested spiritual rice was only absorbed by the body for one point, but now it has absorbed two points.

"So, the actual effect of cold preserved eggs is to improve the quality of spiritual roots!"

Lin Zhi suddenly realized that spiritual roots are the foundation of cultivation and determine the efficiency of cultivators in absorbing and converting spiritual energy.

Similarly, eating a bowl of rice, generally low-grade spiritual roots need one day to digest, and then absorb the digested spiritual energy and also need one day, and the spiritual energy converted from a bowl of rice can only be converted into one-tenth of cultivation, and the remaining small part is absorbed by the body, and most of it is exhaled and dissipated between heaven and earth.

For medium-grade spiritual roots, two meals a day can be eaten, and 30% of spiritual energy can be absorbed and converted, and the cultivation speed is equivalent to 6 times that of low-grade spiritual roots.

For a top-grade spiritual root, eating three meals a day, each meal can absorb and transform 60% of spiritual energy, and the cultivation speed is equivalent to 18 times that of a lower-grade one.

For a top-grade spiritual root, in addition to three meals a day, you can also have a midnight snack, each meal can absorb and transform 100% of spiritual energy, and the cultivation speed is equivalent to 40 times that of a lower-grade one.

This plate of cold preserved eggs has increased the absorption efficiency by 10%, which is simply outrageous!

If I have another plate, wouldn’t I be able to improve my qualifications to a medium-grade spiritual root?

As soon as he said it, Lin Zhi peeled and cleaned all the remaining preserved eggs and continued to make cold preserved eggs.

In the end, another seven plates of cold preserved eggs were completed.

While he ate, he practiced the technique to digest the dish.

Unlike the difficulty of digesting spiritual rice, the advantage of the dish is that it melts in the mouth and is digested very quickly, but the disadvantage is that "the spiritual energy content is low and it is not full."

Soon, after five plates of preserved eggs were eaten, Lin Zhi tried to practice again and found that his speed of refining spiritual rice had increased to 50%.

The reason why it is not 70% is probably because he ate too much, and the effect of preserved eggs has weakened!

This result is gratifying. With only 10% difference, his speed is the same as that of the top-grade spiritual roots.

"Unfortunately, there are not many eggs at home, and the rice jar is empty."

Lin Zhi knew that the most urgent thing was to farm again, otherwise he would not only be unable to practice, but also be at risk of starving to death.

In this world, although spiritual energy is filled between heaven and earth, it cannot be directly refined.

It is said that spiritual energy is "toxic". If it is directly refined by people, it will block the meridians at the least and go crazy at the worst.

The means for cultivators to obtain spiritual energy is generally to eat and refine spiritual grains. The spiritual grain plants absorb the spiritual energy in the world, can filter and decompose the toxic parts, and store the pure spiritual energy in the spiritual grains.

If the cultivators do not replenish spiritual energy every day, there will be no problem in the short term, but over time, there will be a risk of spiritual energy depletion. Once the spiritual energy is exhausted, it cannot support the consumption of the physical body and will "starve to death".

In addition to eating spiritual grains, cultivators can also survive by drinking water from spiritual wells or spiritual springs.

Because the water in spiritual wells or spiritual springs also contains pure spiritual energy, but it is much thinner than spiritual grains.

However, digesting the water in spiritual wells is as difficult as digesting spiritual grains, because the spiritual energy has combined with water to form a new liquid substance.

If you want to digest it, you need to decompose it.

To explain it scientifically, water and spiritual energy combine to form water spiritual energy compounds. If you want to decompose the spiritual energy, you need to "electrolyze" and then generate spiritual energy, hydrogen, and oxygen.

So this process is also not easy. Low-level cultivators, especially those with poor spiritual roots, have a very difficult time digesting water spiritual energy. Drinking water all day long cannot replenish enough spiritual energy.

In the end, they can't make ends meet and starve to death.

But Lin Zhi has now reached the level of middle-grade spiritual roots. If he drinks water every day, he still has a chance to survive.

If you can reach the best spiritual roots, let alone survive by drinking water, you can drink water to practice!

"So the old hen at home is the top priority. We must ensure that it can keep laying eggs!"

Lin Zhi carried a hoe on his back, carried a small bag of spiritual grain seeds, and walked towards the spiritual field.

...

South of Wangjia Village

Wang Baopi set up a table under a withered old tree, surrounded by a dozen servants, and a long line of ragged monks lined up in front of him.

Most of them were at the first or second level of Qi training. They were pale and thin, with dull eyes, just like a group of beggars.

In fact, the Eight Treasures Immortal Sect did not have any cultural literacy. Various inheritances were monopolized by the aristocratic families. Only the most basic cultivation methods were passed down. When everyone could practice, most low-level monks were really no different from beggars.

"Wang Defa, 65 years old, second level of Qi training? Trash, leave the land deed and leave quickly!"

"Li Ergou, 32 years old, first level of Qi training, being a cowherd is OK! Leave the land deed, and go sign and seal it."

"Hey, Uncle Liu, you are here to sell your daughter! No problem, keep the land deed, and I will give you two kilograms of spiritual rice."

Looking at the booming business, Wang Papi smiled.

This natural disaster came too timely. The village was hit by the disaster, and these poor people could not survive on their own.

Unless, the Immortal Sect allocated grain for disaster relief.

However, this is just a remote small village. The relief grain was transported from the state warehouse and passed through three levels and six checkpoints. It is hard to say whether there will be any left.

Want to wait for the relief grain?

I am afraid you will have to wait for a lifetime.

So, if you want to survive, you can only sell the spiritual fields at a low price, sell your children, and sell yourself as a slave...

In good years, the fields were given to individuals to collect rent, in years of minor disasters, they lent money to borrow grain, and in years of great disasters, they took the opportunity to lower the price of the fields, and then forced the borrowers into desperation.

His grandfather used this method to annex the land in the village and occupy half of the village's spiritual land.

His father had plundered a lot of spiritual fields in Fish and Meat Township. In his generation, he was lucky enough to catch up with the drought and had to annex the last spiritual fields. The entire Wangjia Village became his private property.

The next step is to use Wangjiacun as a springboard to become a big landowner in the entire township.

Thinking of this, Wang Papi looked at the "beggar" in front of him and sneered, "How can my three generations of hard work and hard work be matched by your ten years of studying hard in the cold window?"

…

Lin Zhi planted a small bag of spiritual grain on about one percent of an acre, or one centimeter of land.

The unit of spiritual land is mu, one acre is equal to ten cents of land, one cent of land is equal to 10 cents of land, one mu is about 666.667 square meters, and one centimeter of land is about 6.66667 square meters.

It's not that he doesn't want to continue planting, but that there are only so many remaining spiritual seeds that can be planted.

After burying the seeds in the ground, he did not leave. Instead, he came to the wasteland nearby, waved his hoe and started digging.

Digging by hand consumes less spiritual energy than using spells. His purpose of digging is mainly to dig out bugs, especially ants, deep underground.

Due to the drought, the bugs on the ground have long been burned to ashes. When there is no extra spiritual grain to feed the old hens, this is the source of food for the old hens.

After several hours of digging, he dug out a pit dozens of meters deep, with an ant nest at the bottom.

Different from ordinary ants, the ants in this world were as big as peanuts. However, due to the hot weather, they were not active in the sun. The ant nest was dug up, and hundreds or thousands of ants appeared in front of him.

In the ant nest, the white crystal ant eggs are as attractive as rice.

However, under the blazing sun, as soon as the ant nest was dug up, chaos arose, and they crazily crawled outside.

At this time, an old hen raised by Lin Zhi's family flapped its wings and pecked at the ants quickly towards the ant nest.

Soon, it had eaten more than a thousand ants.

At this time, other ants in the nest had been killed by the sun. Lin Zhi collected their bodies and eggs and put them into an empty rice vat.

For several days in a row, he dug in the earth, looking for ant nests and other insects to supplement food nutrition for the old hens.

Then make ends meet with daily eggs.

In the blink of an eye, a month and a half passed. Lin Zhi successfully advanced to the second level of Qi training through practice.

Different from the first level of Qi training, the second level of Qi training already belongs to the "young talents" in Wangjiacun.

There are more than 2,200 households in Wangjia Village. Thanks to the popularization of immortal cultivation techniques, there are more than 3,000 monks in total.

But 99% of these people are only at the first level of Qi training and have low qualifications. They can only be at the first level of Qi training throughout their lives.

There are hundreds of people on the second floor of Qi training, and only a few dozen people on the third floor of Qi training.

As for the third level and above, only Wang Papi's grandfather Wang Youcai is on the fourth level of Qi training, and the village chief is on the fifth level.

He has reached the second level of Qi training and has the threshold to enter the "upper class society".

Therefore, Lin Zhi did not look for bugs as usual that day.

He carried two food boxes and walked towards the village chief's yard.

The village chief lives in an independent compound covering an area of ​​nearly 100 acres at the east end of the village, where he raises many servants.

Due to the double sun volley, most of the monks in the village almost died of starvation or fighting.

Along the way, he could see no life except bones and pits everywhere.

However, as soon as I arrived at the door of the village chief's courtyard, I smelled the aroma of meat.

He knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Keep knocking. After a long time, an old man opened the door impatiently and muttered, "Who is it? Stop knocking!"

When he saw Lin Zhi, he closed the door without saying a word.

But Lin Zhi held up his hands and stopped him.

"What are you doing!"

The old man used his magic power, but Lin Zhi held him open.

"Hey, are you on the second floor?"

The old man was surprised.

"Take me to the village chief quickly, I want to present the treasure!"

"Present treasure? Just you?"

The old man curled his lips and muttered, "I also watched your father grow up. I know what you have in your family better than anyone else. What treasures do you have?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Just go if you are told!"

Lin Zhi urged and walked into the courtyard.

The first thing that catches the eye is more than ten acres of golden wheat with big and plump ears being harvested by some monks.

Then he saw a lot of chickens and ducks moving around.

There are water canals between the fields, connected to a spiritual well in the center.

Spiritual wells are also divided into grades. The higher the grade, the higher the depth.

The village chief's spiritual well is thousands of meters deep underground and leads directly to an underground tributary of an underground river. This is the reason why the other party has no worries in the case of drought.

He crossed the farmland and came to the inner courtyard.

At this time, the old man came back and said with a bad expression, "Master, please come in."

Hearing this, Lin Zhi strode into the inner courtyard and saw many young men practicing in the corridor under the eaves.

Two or three of them, like myself, have reached the second level of Qi training.

He walked towards the living room and saw an old man with white hair already sitting at the head table, holding tea in his hand.

Seeing him arriving, there was no politeness about sitting down, and he said coldly, "But are you here to sell your land? I'm sorry..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Zhi.

"Mr. Village Chief, Lin Zhi is not here to sell his land or ask for help, but to bring you wealth."

"Wealthy? Ha!"

The village chief suddenly laughed. Hearing this from a villager who was about to starve to death, he felt like he had heard a big joke.

"What is the wealth you are talking about?"

"That's it!"

Lin Zhi put the food box on the table next to him and slowly opened one of them.

A plate of cold preserved eggs caught the village chief's eyes.

The preserved eggs emitted a faint green light.

"This... this is a fairy dish!"

The old village chief exclaimed.

It's not that he had never seen or eaten fairy dishes.

But the problem is that the fairy dishes he ate were all white in quality, and he only had a green fairy dish, fried eggs with tomatoes.

So the fairy dish in front of him was very amazing to him.

"Where did you get it from?"

The village chief asked hurriedly.

"It's inherited from my ancestors. You know, my ancestors once had a errand disciple of the Eight Treasures Immortal Sect. The recipe of this fairy dish comes from my ancestors."

While speaking, he opened another food box, and eggs wrapped in sawdust filled the food box.

"This is the raw material for cold preserved eggs."

Lin Zhi introduced the eggs.

"What do you want to exchange from me for the ancestral formula?"

The village chief was tempted and had already made up his mind. If this guy's demands were not high, he would just give him a little to get rid of the trouble.

If the price was too high, he would have to find an excuse to bury it.

"I want to marry into my family!"

Lin Zhi said calmly.

"What...?"

The village chief was shocked and slammed the table.

"That won't work. Change the conditions!"

"Village chief, I guessed it right. These talented people outside are the backups you found, right? I wonder which one of them can catch your eye."

"Any of them is better than you... Hey, the second level?"

The village chief looked at Lin Zhi in surprise.

"This is all the effect of cold preserved eggs."

"So, what value do you have that is worthy of my daughter?"

"Bloodline! My ancestors were servants of the Immortal Sect, and their bloodline is impeccable. My family has a bloodline inheritance, which can only be brought into play when combined with a cultivator with water spiritual roots."

"Bloodline inheritance? Do you really think I'm a three-year-old child?"

"Can you identify it? Identify my seed soul and personally test whether this bloodline seed is satisfactory. If you are not satisfied, you can kill me."

"Okay, you have guts! If you are not satisfied, I will not kill you, just become my slave. The second level of Qi training is enough to cultivate 10 acres of spiritual fields a day, so it is still valuable."

The old class took out a mirror, and soon a holy flower tree appeared in front of him.

"This... This is the best seed soul!!!"

The old village chief was surprised.

"How about it, can I be the son-in-law? If you marry me, your daughter's cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds."

"Okay, okay, bring me your IOU, what about Wang Ba Pi, I'll pay it off, let's choose an auspicious day..."

"What auspicious day? Father-in-law, it's better to do it today than to wait for another day. Let's enter the bridal chamber right now?"

"Get lost!"
