Chapter 19: First-level Spiritual Plant Master
Two months later.

Qin Ming stood under a big tree near the spiritual field.

He looked up at a khaki-colored beehive on the tree, which was as big as a pot lid.

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz~~"

Thousands of bees are flying densely around the hive.

It makes one's scalp tingle.

Each bee is as big as a little finger, snow-white all over, with two pairs of wings, and an almost transparent stinger at the tail, hiding a deadly poison that is difficult to guard against.

If you don't look carefully, it's really hard to find.

This is the four-winged frost bee that is unique to the Yunhuang Marsh. Although it is not of high grade, its number is huge.

If besieged by a swarm of bees, the toxicity of their stingers can even temporarily paralyze the magic power of a cultivator.

Of course.

Qin Ming is no longer afraid of these insects.

He was just observing where the queen bee was so that he could perform the "Bee Controlling Technique" conveniently.

As long as you control the queen bee, you can issue commands to the bee colony.

"found it!"

Qin Ming's eyes lit up.

He made a strange gesture with his hands and struck towards the lower right corner of the hive.

The entry of 'Controlling Bees' in his sea of ​​consciousness was used by him.

A frost bee that is more than five times larger than an ordinary bee is sleeping.

Suddenly I felt dizzy.

There was a hint of confusion in its eyes.

Qin Ming performed the spell successfully and his face lit up with joy.

He could clearly feel that he had established an inexplicable connection with the frost bee queen.

Qin Ming immediately gave orders to the queen bee.

The swarm of bees on the tree suddenly flew out of the hive and flew towards the three acres of Yin Ning flower spiritual field planted by Qin Ming.

"Sure enough!"

Qin Ming was overjoyed.

Then he immediately gave instructions to the queen frost bee, asking the bee colony to pollinate the Yin Ning flower.

soon.

A colony of frost bees became busy in the three-acre Yin Ning flower spirit field.

Qin Ming looked at the spiritual field and nodded with satisfaction.

Originally, Master Sudan only asked him to successfully grow one-tenth of the crops.

Today, the survival rate has reached a terrifying 90%.

And after the seven-day flowering period and pollination are over, I believe the quality of the spiritual grass will not be too bad.

Qin Ming is still very confident about this.

In the three mu of Yin Ning Flower spiritual field, there are about a hundred mature plants in each mu, and a total of about three hundred Yin Ning Flowers can be harvested.

If calculated based on the price of five spirit stones per plant that Master Sudan gave him at the time, it would be nearly a thousand spirit stones.

Qin Ming thought that perhaps he should move towards growing spiritual herbs and medicines.

……

Seven days later.

Seven consecutive days of pollination are over.

The Yin Ning flowers give off a rich fragrance and are ready to be harvested.

Qin Ming sent a communication talisman to Master Sudan.

Soon.

Master Sultan, wearing a white robe, came up slowly, carrying a small bamboo basket on his back.

But when he looked at the three acres of Yin Ning flowers in full bloom, the expression on his face looked quite wonderful.

"You grew all this?!" Master Sudan pointed at the spiritual field. He looked at Qin Ming, his tone full of disbelief.

Qin Ming laughed, "Lucky! It was just a fluke that it was planted."

Master Sudan glared at him and said, "Who are you kidding? Are you so lucky that all the pollinations were successful for seven consecutive days?"

After saying that, he carefully picked up a Yin Ning flower and observed it carefully.

"Yes, it's good. The Yin Ning flower is of high quality and can be used as medicine to make pills."

Then, Master Sudan turned his head and looked Qin Ming up and down, and said slowly: "I really can't tell? Fellow Daoist Qin has such a high talent for spiritual plants." "Being a spiritual farmer here is really a waste of talent."

Qin Ming waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Master Sultan is overpraising me. I was just lucky."

"But in this case, with such a large number of Yin Ning flowers, I will owe you a big favor." Master Sudan said slowly.

"I don't really like owing favors to people."

"How about this? When I make the elixir, I will allow you to watch from the side, but I won't teach you step by step. How much you can learn depends on yourself. How do you think?"

After thinking for a moment, Master Sudan spoke to Qin Ming seriously.

Qin Ming was overjoyed when he heard this.

He has been busy for a whole year, isn't this what he is waiting for? !
Qin Ming still can't forget the taste of the two Spirit Gathering Pills from Master Sudan.

I even dreamed that one day I would be able to refine elixirs to improve my cultivation.

"Then I'd be honored to refuse." Qin Ming bowed and thanked Master Sudan.

Then the two of them began to pick Yin Ning flowers.

"We harvested a total of 320 Yin Ning flowers. As we agreed before, I'll take 90 and you'll take 100."

Master Sudan immediately took out thirty-two plants from the bamboo basket and handed them to Qin Ming.

"Remember to take this Yin Ning flower back and seal it in a jade box, otherwise the medicinal properties will be lost."

Qin Ming took the Yin Ning flower and put it away carefully.

Afterwards, Master Sudan said goodbye and left, telling Qin Ming that he would notify him through a communication talisman when he was refining the elixir.

Qin Ming was in no hurry to leave.

Instead, he released the group of four-winged frost bees back to their original place.

After so many days of pollination, these frost bees are not tired, but instead appear very excited.

"These bees may be useful for growing spiritual herbs someday. I'll put them aside for now and buy a spiritual animal bag to take them away later."

……

Two days later.

The spiritual rice in the spiritual fields is also ripe.

Deacon Gu of Lingyu Sect brought his disciples to collect spiritual rice as usual.

In this season, Qin Ming's animal tooth rice has fully matured.

Naturally, it also became the focus of this collection of spiritual rice.

soon.

Four acres of golden rice and one acre of beast-tooth rice have been harvested.

After Du Haifu took out the large fighting instrument and weighed it, he immediately said to Qin Ming: "In total, we harvested 12 stone and 80 kilograms of golden spirit rice."

"The harvest of animal tooth rice totaled four stone and ten catties."

After Du Haifu reported the figures, he approached Qin Ming and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qin, the harvest of the animal tooth rice has been completed. From now on, you can enjoy a 50% reduction in the spiritual rice tax."

Qin Ming was also puzzled. Du Haifu, the local tyrant of the spiritual farmers, even changed the way he addressed him this time.

He didn't call me "Xiao Qin" and I didn't react for a moment.

"I'll have to ask Supervisor Du to take care of me in the future." Qin Ming replied.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, this is the identity card for the spiritual plant master assessment. You can choose a time by yourself and go to the Lingyu Sect's Deacon Hall in Qingyang Market to complete the assessment." Du Haifu took out a wooden card and handed it to Qin Ming.

“Hahaha, congratulations to Brother Qin again for entering the ranks of first-level spiritual plant masters.”

Qin Ming took the wooden plaque and looked at it. His name was engraved on the front and there was a pattern of a spiritual plant on the back.

He used his spiritual sense to check and saw that the wooden sign recorded that he had completed planting the first-level spiritual plant 'Beast Tooth Rice'.

Spiritual plant knowledge assessment to be completed.

The people from Lingyu Sect collected taxes and left, taking away the last-ranked Lingnong as usual.

After paying the taxes, Qin Ming still had more than 600 kilograms of golden spirit rice and 210 kilograms of beast tooth rice left this season.

This is another considerable income for him.

"Xiao Qin, you have already agreed."

"It's time to treat me to a drink at Juxuan Pavilion."

"Come on, come on, let's celebrate your becoming a first-level spiritual plant master."

Cai Laojiu came over with a smile, feeling extremely envious.

"Okay, you're welcome." Qin Ming was in a good mood. He smiled awkwardly and nodded.

It just so happened that he also wanted to go to Shopkeeper Liao to sell the spiritual rice, and at the same time inquire about moving to Qingyang Market.

In addition, Fellow Daoist Ruan also needs to go there and get the last four levels of the "Hundred Treasures Glazed Sutra".
