Shennong Sequence

Chapter 38 Three kinds of straw puppets, are they going to make a contribution? Top-grade Daoist Pill!
After dinner, when the sun had not yet completely set, Zhao Yun was enjoying the cool breeze in the yard when Butcher Liu came over with the book "Basic Horse Training" and asked Zhao Yun a few questions.

Zhao Yun was quite generous, and in order to allow Butcher Liu to continue helping him with meals, he was also generous with his knowledge and patiently explained it to Butcher Liu.

When the sun was about to disappear and the moon was about to rise, Old Man Sun came back and urged the two to go back to their room and stop wandering around outside.

After realizing it was indeed getting late, they both went back into the house.

Before returning to the house, Zhao Yun paused slightly, then turned and walked towards Old Man Sun's house.

Old Man Sun is his master after all. Although there is no custom of praying devoutly every morning, it is reasonable to chat with him from time to time to enhance the relationship.

"Master, I can only cultivate one or two acres of land every day. Over time, the whole ceremony won't be weakened or ineffective, right?" Zhao Yun walked into the house and asked with a worried look on his face.

“Even if you extend the time to a year, as long as the land is reclaimed by you alone and spiritual plants can be planted on it, there will be no mistakes in the entire ceremony.” Old Man Sun explained patiently.

"Then Master, what's so special about this spiritual plant compared to the rice and flour we used to eat?" Zhao Yun seized the opportunity and began to ask.

Although he had a general understanding of spiritual practice, he knew very little about the more detailed knowledge.

As a master, Old Man Sun did not show any impatience, but answered carefully:

"Spiritual plants are plants that contain spiritual energy."

"This spiritual energy will be an important external energy source for you to become a ninth-grade cultivator in the future, absorb the energy of heaven and earth, and refine it into magic power. When your ceremony is successful, you will be able to truly sense the various spiritual energies suspended between heaven and earth, as well as the uniqueness of that spiritual energy."

Zhao Yun then continued to ask: "Master, don't I need to sow 100 spiritual plant seeds after this ceremony? How should I find them then?"

Old Man Sun stroked his beard and said, "You definitely can't take it out now, so naturally Master prepared it for you. When the time comes, the 100 spiritual plant seeds will definitely make them full of vitality and take root and sprout... Don't be impatient, take it step by step."

"Oh."

Zhao Yun responded softly.

Can he not be in a hurry?

Not only is he being watched by Captain Niu in the garrison, but also by the person behind the scenes. He urgently needs to improve his strength!

Moreover, Zhao Yun believed that Old Man Sun must be aware of what he had experienced in the past two days.

I just don't know why I didn't say anything to help...

Or does Old Man Sun have other considerations?

Or, is this the external calamity of spiritual practice?

Zhao Yun saw through the problem but didn't say anything. He didn't continue asking questions.

Let's talk about other things that happened in the afternoon:
"Master, when I went to the field to reclaim the wasteland this afternoon, I thought about getting a roast chicken for the little fox, but I had no money, so I took my bow and arrow and prepared to shoot a pheasant, and then roast it for the little fox."

"But when I went into a valley in the back mountain, I found that among the bushes, there were piles of white bones of large wild animals and some people. Moreover, those bones were as white as new, as if they had just been eaten. The moisture in the surrounding land was also particularly thick and sticky..."

"I felt that there was something strange about that place, so even though I encountered a pheasant, I didn't dare go any deeper and retreated back. I came here to tell you about this."

After hearing this, Old Man Sun frowned:

"You are a good archer and you have a bow and arrow, which allows you to retreat directly after seeing the prey. It's quite interesting.

Tell me the location, and I'll send a straw puppet over there to take another look."

"Just go to the wasteland I reclaimed, and walk along the back all the way to the mountain. If you send a straw puppet there, you should still be able to see traces of the grass I waded through this afternoon." "Yes."

Old Man Sun nodded, pulled out a long stem of sedge grass from a box beside him, and quickly weaved it between his hands. After a while, a small and exquisite straw puppet appeared at his fingertips.

Zhao Yun took a closer look and saw that the straw puppet that Old Man Sun had just made was small and exquisite, as if it was used specifically for reconnaissance.

The patrol straw puppet he had obtained earlier was sturdy and seemed to be full of explosive power.

There are many differences between the two just from the size.

Then, a stream of clear air from Old Man Sun's fingertips penetrated into the body of the skinny straw puppet. The puppet instantly became agile, jumped lightly, jumped out of the house, and disappeared into the night.

Zhao Yun sat aside, leisurely drinking the tea that Old Man Sun gave him, which could cool his head and clear his thoughts, and quietly waited for the results of Old Man Sun's investigation.

In addition, Zhao Yun felt very familiar with the straw puppet method.

This thing is a puppet method after all.

Being able to work hard and without complaint even when tired from all kinds of rough work;
Various dangerous expeditions, and fearlessly rushing in...

This straw puppet method is truly a natural method of using cattle and horses as cannon fodder!
Therefore, for someone like Zhao Yun who cherishes his life, this straw puppet method is naturally very popular.

In just a moment, Zhao Yun became more and more eager about the inheritance of this farmer's family...

cough!
Zhao Yun was happily drinking the cool tea when he suddenly heard Old Man Sun cough.

Looking up, I saw old man Sun with a happy look on his face.

Old Man Sun stood up happily and said to Zhao Yun:

"There are indeed some problems with the place you provided!"

"I said before that it would be difficult to get a middle-grade Daotong Pill from Li Sinong for you, but now that I have received this news, I will do you a great deed!"

"Maybe I can get a top-grade Daotong Pill directly from Li Sinong!"

"Your chance has finally come!"

Old Man Sun said this happily, and at the same time took out a piece of oxtail grass that emitted a faint fluorescent light from the box and started weaving it again.

After a while, another straw puppet took shape.

Zhao Yun looked at the newly created straw puppet in Old Man Sun's hand. Compared with the straw puppets he had seen the previous two times, there were also obvious differences.

At least, the first two straw puppets had no mouths, but the straw puppet woven by Old Man Sun this time actually had a small mouth.

"Uh~, mouth? Mouth?"

Zhao Yun's thoughts inexplicably went astray.

But, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the presence of Master’s wife beside Old Man Sun…

Old Man Sun gently wiped the pure air in his hand onto the straw puppet, and the straw puppet jumped out of the door again and disappeared into the night.

Then he turned to Zhao Yun and said:
"You kid, go back to sleep first. Tonight, no matter what happens outside, don't run out. Wait until tomorrow, and no one will dare to take away even a little bit of the benefits that you deserve!"
