Chapter 3 Production of Spiritual Rice
Return to the house.

Qin Ming set up a soundproofing array. From now on, no matter what happens next door, it will not affect him.

"Phew~ I feel comfortable now. The whole world is peaceful."

In the following time, Qin Ming's mind was focused on the five acres of spiritual fields.

This is directly related to his future destiny.

Ten days later.

The spiritual rice in the spiritual field has begun to grow, and it is a lush and green scene. Qin Ming ran to the field to check it out as soon as possible.

What he was most concerned about was what kind of entries would appear in these five acres of spiritual fields.

Qin Ming took a look and saw four entries flashing in the green rice fields.

[Name]: Golden Spirit Rice [Term]: Weak Mana (Maturity 10%)

[Name]: Golden Spirit Rice [Term]: Weak Mana (Maturity 15%)

[Name]: Golden Spirit Rice [Term]: Beast Exorcist Technique x5 (maturity 12%)

[Name]: Golden Spirit Rice [Term]: Mother Type·Beast Tooth Rice (maturity 10%)

"A new entry has appeared."

Qin Ming's expression lit up with joy. In addition to 'weak mana', there were two new entries.

"It's a pity that the ripening entry didn't appear." He lamented.

He was very familiar with the Art of Driving Beasts, which was also a spiritual plant spell.

By using special bell-like instruments to cast spells, you can quickly drive away all kinds of monsters and protect spiritual plants.

However, this spell is quite difficult to practice, even more difficult than the Lingyu Jue, and there are very few people who can do it.

The number after the entry means that it can be used five times.

Qin Ming then focused his attention on the last entry.

"Eh? Beast Fang Mi... I have some impression of him, I seem to have seen him somewhere..."

Qin Ming frowned slightly and recalled carefully.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind and he remembered!

He slapped his storage bag and a booklet appeared in his hand.

Speaking of which, this is the spiritual plant book that Lingyumen gave to these spiritual farmers.

Qin Ming quickly turned to the last few pages.

Beast Tooth Rice is a first-grade lower-grade spiritual plant. The rice is as white as snow and shaped like animal teeth. After eating it, it can not only slightly enhance qi and blood, strengthen muscles and bones, and harmonize internal organs, but also the spiritual energy it contains is five times that of golden spiritual rice!
Golden spiritual rice is just ordinary spiritual rice and is not of high grade.

However, animal tooth rice belongs to the category of low-grade spiritual plants and is relatively rare.

It is exactly what the body cultivators are keen on. Once it appears in the market, it is often sold out.

However, the cultivation conditions of animal tooth rice are rather harsh, and it is necessary to use the "Intermediate Spirit Rain Technique" to mobilize the energy of the spiritual veins and maintain watering for a long time.

Moreover, the maturation cycle is very long. The lowest quality animal tooth rice matures once every two years, and its yield is also low.

The price is ten times that of Golden Spirit Rice, and even its seeds are extremely expensive.

There is a special note on the Lingyu Sect's booklet: [For all spiritual farmers who successfully grow and cultivate animal tooth rice, the spiritual rice tax will be halved.]

Being able to cultivate and grow first-grade lower-quality spiritual plants means that one is qualified to be promoted to a first-grade spiritual plant master.

That status is much higher than that of ordinary low-level spiritual farmers.

"It turns out to be the seeds of animal tooth rice! I'm going to get rich now!" Qin Ming was extremely happy.

Right now, we have to take better care of these five acres of spiritual fields.

In three months, he will have to pay the spiritual rice tax again, and that will be a real test for him.

It is directly related to one's life and property.

During this period of time, Qin Ming was on edge, and nothing could go wrong in the spiritual field.

After that, Qin Ming carefully cleared the weeds and used the "Intermediate Spirit Rain Technique" for the last time.

……

The days passed by.

Qin Ming goes out early and comes back late every day, working diligently and hard.

He was looking forward to the magical rice maturing quickly.

Apart from taking care of the spiritual fields, he also works hard to practice the Changchun Gong and Lingyu Jue.

After fully experiencing the Intermediate Spirit Rain Technique five times, his practice of magic has made great progress, coupled with his repeated practice and exploration.

Finally found that feeling.

After a month.

Qin Ming looked at the spiritual clouds covering the five mu of spiritual fields above him, and a look of joy appeared on his face as he said, "Intermediate Spirit Rain Art, it's done!"

From now on, even without relying on entries, he can perform the intermediate Spirit Rain Technique on his own.

However, the magic power of the second level of Qi training period is really worrying.

It's like this.

In order to increase production, Qin Ming also tried his best!
Every time I perform the Intermediate Spirit Rain Technique, I squeeze out every last bit of my magic power!
To ensure that spiritual rain falls two to three times a week.

Every time he returned home from the spiritual field, he looked exhausted, as if he had been drained of energy, and walked with the help of the wall.

"Good fellow, Fellow Daoist Qin really can't see it?"

"Tell me the truth, have you been secretly taking care of your neighbor Li Yanli's business recently?"

"Young people should learn moderation!"

"Even if you have a back made of iron and kidneys made of steel, you can't do this every day."

To the extent that his neighbors once thought he was going on a spending spree.

"Alas, my cultivation is still too low. Every time I use the intermediate Spirit Rain Technique, my spiritual power is hard to sustain."

Qin Ming sighed inwardly. Faced with these speculations, he just responded with an awkward smile and did not give any further explanation.

Farming with peace of mind is the best way to go.

Watching the spiritual rice in the spiritual field grow vigorously day by day.

Qin Ming smiled with relief.

"Finally, my efforts were not in vain."

More than two months later.

The magical rice is ripe.

[Name]: Golden Spirit Rice [Term]: Weak Mana (maturity 100%, harvestable)

[Name]: Golden Spirit Rice [Term]: Weak Mana (maturity 100%, harvestable)

[Name]: Golden Spirit Rice [Term]: Beast Exorcism Technique x5 (maturity 100%, harvestable)

[Name]: Golden Spirit Rice [Term]: Mother species·Beast Tooth Rice (maturity 100%, harvestable)

Qin Ming took the four spiritual rice plants, and four white leaves instantly appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Not long after.

A group of spiritual farmers began to harvest spiritual rice under the supervision of supervisor Du Haifu.

When it was Qin Ming's spiritual field's turn, Du Haifu looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help showing a hint of surprise.

At a glance, he saw that the golden spiritual rice ears in Qin Ming's spiritual field were full and the grains were so large that the rice stalks were even bent and drooped.

"Have you mastered the intermediate Spirit Rain Technique?"

Du Haifu turned around and looked at Qin Ming. After a long while, he showed a rare look of admiration.

"I was lucky enough to master it a few days ago."

"Okay, it's pretty good. Go and collect the spiritual rice."

Qin Ming began to work quickly, harvesting the spiritual rice.

After a whole day of hard work, they harvested eight large bags of pure rice. Du Haifu began to inspect and weigh them.

"We harvested eight stone and twenty catties of spiritual rice..."

"The tax payable is 70%, which is 574 kilograms."

He just finished speaking.

A huge magic boat flashed across the sky, and then stopped steadily in the air above the hillside.

On the bow of the ship, an old man in a blue robe stood with his hands behind his back, his face solemn and stern. Behind him, seven or eight outer disciples of the Lingyu Sect stood in a neat and respectful line.

When Du Haifu saw this person, he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Deacon Gu. According to your instructions, all the spiritual rice taxes for this season have been collected. Please review them."

After saying this, he carefully presented a jade slip.

Qin Ming also quickly bowed his head and saluted.

At this moment, Du Haifu was fawning in front of Deacon Gu, completely lacking the tough attitude he usually showed with the spiritual farmers.

Although the other party was only an outer sect steward of Lingyu Sect, he was also his immediate superior, and he did not dare to overstep his authority.

After checking the jade slip, Deacon Gu instructed his disciples to gather all the spiritual farmers together.

There are more than three hundred people.

Cai Laojiu squeezed through the crowd to Qin Ming's side, winked at him and said, "Brother Qin, how is it? How is the harvest today?"

Qin Ming laughed and said calmly, "Not bad, but you, Lao Jiu, are really unkind. You didn't tell me that you had a good harvest last season. Are you making a fortune in silence?"

"Hehehe, haven't they all been offered as tribute?" Cai Laojiu said with a wandering look in his eyes, feeling guilty.

At this time, the ancient steward on the Dharma Boat looked around at everyone and announced without any emotion: "The three seasons of spiritual rice tax for this year have been fully collected."

"According to the instructions from within the sect, this deacon hereby announces an order that the ten monks at the bottom of the annual spiritual rice production statistics this year will be forcibly sent to the front-line camps to supplement the manpower. They are not allowed to disobey orders."

Deacon Gu's unquestionable voice sounded, like a thunderclap, exploding in the hearts of the spiritual farmers, and they could not calm down for a long time.

"What? A front-line combat camp?"

"No, right?"

"I shouldn't be ranked last, right?"

"Why didn't you tell me about this in advance?"

……

All the spiritual farmers suddenly felt insecure and panicked.

"Hmph!" Deacon Gu snorted coldly, and the pressure of a cultivator who had reached the peak of the Qi training stage spread out.

Everyone shut up immediately.

"The output of spiritual rice for these three quarters, as well as all the rankings, are here. You can check it out for yourself."

After Deacon Gu finished speaking, the Lingyu Sect disciple beside him stepped forward and cast a spell towards the jade slip in front of him.

Instantly.

A huge light curtain appeared in the sky above the spiritual farmers' heads, and densely packed words were clearly visible.

The ranking is shown above from high to low, followed by the specific output of each season.

Qin Ming looked up and quickly saw his name, No. 156!
"Whoo~"

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Ranked in the middle.

He finally felt relieved.

"How is that possible? Eight stone and twenty pounds?"

Cai Laojiu next to him exclaimed.

A dramatic scene appeared.

Ranking on the screen: One hundred and fifty-seventh, Cai Jiuwu...

Cai Laojiu's ranking is right after Qin Ming.

To know.

His production of spiritual rice in the first two seasons exceeded Qin Ming's by a lot.

But Qin Ming’s spiritual rice production in the third season was too outrageous, far exceeding his own!

If we only consider the output of the third season, it has already made it into the top 50.

Those who rank highest are some senior spiritual farmers in the middle stage of Qi training.

"I suppose you all saw it clearly?"

"The last ten will get on board and follow me."

"Tian Youcai, Zhao Shan, Lin Chengdong..."

The ten spiritual farmers whose names were called turned pale in an instant, and their hearts were broken.

What awaits them will be brutal front-line development.

But when faced with Deacon Gu's orders, they dared not disobey.

These people were taken onto the Dharma Boat by the disciples of Lingyu Sect.

"I hope you will keep up the good work and continue to work hard on farming in the coming year to contribute to the sect. The sect will issue new targets next year. The next batch of people to be sent to the battle camp will be the bottom 30 spiritual farmers."

Deacon Gu's unquestionable voice echoed in everyone's ears for a long time.

Qin Ming pondered over what he had heard.

This time, it was Lingyu Sect that failed to notify everyone in advance.

As a result, most spiritual farmers were unaware of the fact that they would be sent to war camps.

If Du Haifu hadn't reminded him at the beginning, he would have been kept in the dark.

And after this incident.

Next year, there will definitely be an internal conflict among these spiritual farmers.

after all.

No one wants to be cannon fodder on the front line.

……

Qin Ming looked at the four entry leaves in his sea of ​​consciousness.

An inexplicable feeling of emotion arose in my heart.

Put it before.

To be able to master the intermediate Spirit Rain Technique in such a short time is something that one cannot even imagine.

And now.

But it only took less than half a year.

His experience in growing spiritual rice has also been greatly improved. After paying the spiritual rice tax this time, he will still have more than 250 kilograms of golden spiritual rice left.

I can’t finish eating so much spiritual rice by myself. After selling the spiritual rice, I can save up a small amount of spiritual stones.

With the spirit stone, you will have more confidence to survive in this environment.

"But if I continue to develop at this speed, my cultivation will soon be unable to keep up."

"If you continue to drain mana at such a high intensity for a long time, your meridians will be damaged, and it will be irreversible."

What's more, he now has the beast tooth rice spirit seed.

Then the cultivation of animal tooth rice should be put on the agenda.

And maintain the magic power of the middle-grade Lingyu Jue for a long time.

The third level of Qi training is the minimum requirement.

"I don't know if those two 'weak mana' entries can help me break through to the third level of the Qi training stage."

"No, I have to work harder on farming and make sure to get the 'ripening' entry!"
