Shennong Sequence

Chapter 94 Dimensionality reduction attack, blood crystal wheat
The light green tea tips swirled back and forth in the tea bowl with the hot water.

After a moment, the hot water in the entire tea bowl was dyed a deep green color.

"You know what, this way of brewing tea is also very clear! Brother Liu, please."

As Zhao Yun spoke, he also took a sip of the tea.

It does not have the slightly bitter taste that one might imagine when brewing it for the first time. Instead, it has a faint fragrance of grass and trees between the cliffs, and a strange feeling of being surrounded by clouds and mist and a faint flame.

Then, Zhao Yun's spirits were slightly lifted, and he became clear-headed and excited.

Tea is indeed good tea, and it can also refresh the mind.

As for what Liu Ming called the little bit of power that could slightly increase the soul, it was really just a slight increase that was dispensable.

But the tea taste is really good!
Of course, it was not without reason that Liu Ming sent the seeds of the Dragon Tree yesterday and the good tea today.

Zhao Yun knew this, so after putting down the tea bowl in his hand, he started chatting with him.

"Brother Liu, speaking of my nourishment from the earth's energy, I have gained some insights into its use before.

In addition, when I went to Changshangou today, I also experimented with the insights that I had in mind.

So, I will try to share it with you, and see if you can understand it. "

Liu Ming saw that Zhao Yun took the initiative to bring up the topic of learning and sharing his insights, so he thought it was fine. "Brother Zhao, please go ahead and talk. I will definitely listen carefully."

Then, Liu Ming also took out a small notebook and a charcoal pencil for writing small characters.

This is to prepare to listen and record at the same time!

Zhao Yun nodded, and then said formally:

"When I first understood the nourishment of earth energy, I realized that it could only be applied to plants."

"Also, when I was comprehending the nourishment of earth energy and my spiritual power was entering the true intention of the technique, by coincidence, the wisp of earth energy transformed by my spiritual power was just absorbed by a plant."

"I was able to use my spiritual power to observe the process of the plant absorbing the earth's energy, as well as the process of the earth's energy being absorbed and transformed by the plant's roots and stems, and then evolving into a nourishing process within the plant's body."

"Then I was also wondering, why can this earth energy only nourish plants? Then what kind of changes will occur to flesh and blood life after being nourished by the earth energy?"

"You know, the saying 'The earth nourishes all things, and Shennong is immortal' is widely circulated among our farmers."

"In addition, there are various famous mountains and rivers on this land, which are pregnant with terrains that contain strange powers."

"Some mountains often contain 'mountain treasures', treasures born from the earth."

"In addition, there are often noble families like to bury their tombs in some special places, hoping to bless their descendants, or to resurrect after death, ascend to heaven, etc."

"Also, the evil way of raising corpses, the Feng Shui masters' dragon-finding and acupuncture point-finding, and so on, all rely on the earth veins, that is, the dragon veins, the spirit veins, and other veins with different effects, to move the earth's energy to achieve certain goals..."

"So the more I think about it, the more I think that if I can grasp the essence of this earth energy, it should be able to be applied to all kinds of things."

As Liu Ming was writing quickly on the notebook, the charcoal pencil was almost leaving an afterimage.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun had no choice but to slow down his narration.

After Liu Ming finished writing down what Zhao Yun had just said, he could not help but exclaimed: "Brother Zhao, your idea is really wild and unconstrained! And you can connect them together, which is really wonderful!"

Zhao Yun could only say that part of the content was made up by him, and part of it was what he really understood when he was attaining enlightenment.

Who can tell the difference when half truth and half falsehood are mixed together?

"I just like to think. When I first started, I injected some earth energy directly into the bodies of small insects such as grasshoppers, ants, centipedes, and scorpions."

"But I discovered that this earth energy is nourishing for plants, but poisonous to flesh and blood life. It can directly turn flesh and blood life into as stiff as plants."

"Eventually, when the aura becomes dense enough, the body will begin to turn into stone... This is also something I realized during my subsequent enlightenment."

"And what I realized during my enlightenment is other uses of earth energy, which are completely opposite to what I said above."

"But you should also know that the abilities you possess are just a feeling that you can do them. If you want to summarize them completely, you can't come up with one..."

"But since we have made a deal, I will definitely tell you everything I know."

Liu Ming knew that Zhao Yun was about to start talking about the main points, so he paid full attention and listened to the insights of a person who was in the process of enlightenment.

Zhao Yun continued:
"I only know that... as my mind turns, I can also use the earth's energy to petrify plants, and I can also use the earth's energy to promote the growth of various flesh-and-blood animals, and even make those animals and plants recover quickly when they are injured..."

"So, specifically, regarding the application of earth energy in the earth energy nourishing technique, this is all I can summarize."

"Brother Liu, if you still don't understand something, you can continue to ask me."

"But as for the other things, the summary, and how to change the nature of the earth's energy, and so on, I can only say that after I comprehended the truth, I had an instinctive knowledge of it.

But if you really ask me how to change the nature of the earth's energy and achieve different effects and applications, I really can't say it, please forgive me..."

Seeing Zhao Yun being so modest, Liu Ming quickly continued:
"Haha, that's okay. It's a rare gift for me that Brother Zhao can narrate the enlightenment in such detail.

When I go back, I can experiment one by one according to the methods you mentioned.

Only after verification can I know whether I can learn it or not. "

Zhao Yun saw that Liu Ming did not blame him for speaking in a half-hearted way at the end, "Okay, Brother Liu, you can give it a try first. If you encounter difficulties, you can always come to me and we can discuss it together."

Then, Liu Ming closed the notes in his hand and left.

In addition, Zhao Yun has also read the contents of the books that Master Sun had given him before these days.

He knew that what he had just said, whether it was petrification or using the earth's energy to help flesh and blood creatures recover their strength quickly and so on, there were other techniques that could replace it.

However, the abilities that can be expressed by practicing multiple techniques are the same as those that can be expressed by practicing one technique.

Everyone knows that they should give up the huge difficulty of learning multiple spells and instead learn a single most basic spell!

The key to success is not quantity, but depth!
Just as Dharma is an extension of Tao.

When the Dharma is the trunk, the skills displayed are the flowers on the branches.

The more you develop the Dharma, the more luxuriant the tree trunk of "earth nourishment" will become.

This is the reason why Zhao Yun was able to attract Liu Ming to give him treasures so that he could re-learn the earth-nourishing technique.

In other words, Zhao Yun's enlightenment this time, combining various abilities into the application of the technique of nourishing the earth's energy, is of groundbreaking significance!

This means that a ninth-level farmer can develop a variety of abilities by just learning the basic "Earth Nourishment" technique.

It must be said that Zhao Yun's enlightenment revealed a huge secret!

So Liu Ming came here to seek for help. What he wanted to seek was how to use the already-cultivated technique of 'nourishing the earth' to produce different skill effects when his realm was low.

Otherwise, if you really want to practice spells such as stiffness, petrification, recovery of physical strength, recovery from injuries, etc. one by one, it would be much more difficult than simply practicing the earth nourishment spell.

When a person's energy is limited, practicing three or four more spells requires extra energy to continuously comprehend the spell in order to improve its level and power.

Compared to the overall situation of an individual with limited energy, this is a complete drag!
So, when there is a spell that can express multiple abilities through nourishing the earth, it naturally becomes something that everyone wants to learn...

"What a pity. In this world, only the strong can get copyright fees."

"Otherwise, I can definitely make a lot of resources with the earth energy nourishing technique I modified..."

Zhao Yun looked at Liu Ming who was gradually going away. He indeed told him about his insights on the nourishment of the earth's energy, petrification, and the nourishment of life.

However, whether it was petrification or nourishing life, Zhao Yun was vague about the secret of the transformation between the two, hiding a little. But, as the saying goes, sincerity is the key.

As long as Liu Ming dares to believe what Zhao Yun said, he can basically practice successfully!

Then Zhao Yun closed the door and walked slowly in the guard post in the night.

Then we came to the No. 14 horse prison.

After knocking on the door of the stable, he waited for Butcher Liu to open the door. He was surprised as to why Zhao Yun came back.
Before Butcher Liu could greet him, Zhao Yun laughed and said:
"Brother Liu, I see a gleam in your eyes, I guess your mental strength has been replenished. I wonder if the psychic seal is gathering smoothly?"

"Thanks to you, after your guidance, I also trained my mental strength specifically.

Then I found the logistics person, spent some money, and bought a piece of Mingling grass. After chewing it and eating it, I felt refreshed in my whole brain.

I think there will be some harvest tonight." As Butcher Liu said this, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"Then congratulations to Brother Liu in advance. You will be successful tonight."

When Butcher Liu heard Zhao Yun's congratulations, he became even happier.

"Haha, maybe. You came here so late, you must be here to look for Master Sun, right? Master Sun is right in the room..."

Zhao Yun followed the gatehouse into the small courtyard, saw that the light in Master Sun's room was on, and knocked on the door.

After hearing the voice from inside saying "Come in", I pushed open the doorman's door and walked in.

By the way, Zhao Yun closed the door again.

"Why did you come to me tonight, kid? Or did you encounter something unhappy when you were the commander of the military farm?" Sun Zhengxuan teased Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "You've always guessed wrong. I didn't encounter anything too bad. On the contrary, I went to Changshangou and beat up the military leader. After he saw my methods, he just happened to follow me to do things."

"Oh, so you are very brave!"

Sun Zhengxuan was a little surprised by Zhao Yun's behavior. "But I think that you must have been hurt by that military leader. Otherwise, you are a harmless person and you would not take the initiative to hit others."

Zhao Yun thought to himself, Master Sun’s guess was really accurate, “In addition, after I beat the army leader, the army leader reflected for a whole morning, and he gave me 20 taels of silver.

But guess how the military chief managed to dig out these 20 taels of silver from those hundreds of acres of land?"

"Ah!"

When Sun Zhengxuan heard this, he burst out laughing. He wondered why Zhao Yun came to see him.

It turns out that I was worried about whether I should collect money or not!

So, Sun Zhengxuan said directly:

"The small piece of land in the long valley is calculated as 1000 mu. With the means of our farmers, we can plant three crops a year, and the yield per mu is at least kilograms.

According to the current stable price, each pound of grain costs five cents.

那长山沟里，大概一年的所产的银钱就是100×3×1000×5 =1500000文。

The exchange rate between silver and copper coins is 1000:1, calculated based on the smallest one.

This is equivalent to the hundred acres of military farmland in Changshangou. The minimum annual output value is 1500 taels of silver!"

"Disciple, don't you think that farming is still an unprofitable job with the participation of our farmers?"

"Besides, we farmers have many ways to increase production and keep the fields from being idle all year round."

"In addition, the algorithm just now is just a rough and underestimated algorithm. In fact, with large-scale farming and the large-scale application of magic by our farmer monks, the output of the hundred acres of land should be doubled!
Its output value will far exceed 1500 taels of silver."

"So, if the military leader deducts a little, is it difficult to have a large sum of money in his hands?"

"Otherwise, how do you think the two-tenths of the garrison soldiers support the remaining eight-tenths of the off-duty combat reserve soldiers?"

After Zhao Yun heard what Master Sun said, his limited thinking suddenly became clear.

Previously, he was calculating based on the data from when he was farming at home, when he could only plant two crops a year, and the yield per mu of grain planted each time was very low.

In the past, taking wheat planting as an example, if the yield per mu reached more than 300 kilograms, it was considered a bumper harvest.

It is far from the ability of those in the garrisons to directly let the monks use spells and magical powers to maintain the yield per mu.

The gap between farming by monks and farming by ordinary people is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.

"Well, Master, don't forget about it. Besides, I didn't take the 20 taels of silver that the military leader gave me. I came here tonight just to ask you something else."

Zhao Yun took out the handful of blood-colored soil that was contained in the door key in the afternoon and left it on the table.

"Master, look at this soil!"

Sun Zhengxuan's eyes were instantly attracted to the soil on the table that seemed soaked in blood.

He picked up the dirt on the table, rubbed it with his fingers, and felt the bloody traces on his skin and the bloody aura rushing into his nose.

Suddenly, Sun Zhengxuan felt that this soil was not simple.

Then he crushed a little bit of blood mud and put it into his mouth to taste it.

"This soil is quite interesting. It should be irrigated by the blood of some great demon related to the earth. Moreover, the soil is full of spirituality. I'm afraid the original place of this soil should have become a spiritual field. Where did you get this good soil, kid?"

"Master, I'm busy all day long, how can I have time to go anywhere else? Where can I get this kind of soil?"

"What are you talking about here? You are lucky. On your first day in office, you found such a treasure. It is a blessing. But how do you plan to use this place?"

Sun Zhengxuan looked at his apprentice beside him and asked seriously.

Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said:

"Master, this spiritual field is about half an acre in size, and it is full of blood evil just like the one in your hand."

"Also, my blood-sucking vine is also quietly urging me to transplant it to this place for planting."

“So I can feel that this bloody land and the original owner of this blood must be extraordinary.”

"First of all, I want to ask you if you can find out what kind of monster left this precious blood. Then check some records of the surrounding villagers. Maybe we can follow this trail and find more spiritual fields like this!"

"Also, this spiritual field, I think, is suitable for growing spiritual plants that need special blood for watering. But I have no way to find the seeds of these spiritual plants. Master, please help me find enough spiritual plant seeds to grow half an acre of blood field."

After listening for a long time, Sun Zhengxuan laughed and scolded:
"Boy, you've set your sights on me."

"However, it is already autumn now, and it will be winter soon after autumn. It will definitely be difficult to plant those spiritual plants that are not cold-resistant."

"How about this? I'll give you some blood crystal wheat seeds that need to absorb the rich blood of wild beasts to grow and can increase blood energy. You can go and plant wheat in this spiritual field."

Although blood crystal wheat needs to absorb the blood of ferocious beasts, the blood field must contain the blood of great monsters, and it does not need any other external blood for irrigation.

It can save a lot of tedious things.

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Okay, Master, I will follow your instructions and plant this blood crystal wheat."

Sun Zhengxuan did not have the seeds of blood crystal wheat, but he could use the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth, which all officials of the Great Zhou could obtain after passing the calamity of entering the Dao, and place an order directly at the Sinong Hall in the provincial capital, or he could use his military merit points and place an order in the military treasury.
