Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 13: A Fragile Peace

The Chen family immediately launched an enthusiastic operation to expand the pool.

The lotus pond, which was originally the size of a basketball court, has been expanded to the size of five basketball courts. If it were not for the terrain restrictions, it would have been dug further.

In addition, some pools were dug in other places.

All added up, it is the size of ten basketball courts, expanded to ten times its original size.

"The best place is still Jingjia Hualian Lake."

When expanding the pool, Chen Ding felt envious. If Hualian Lake belonged to the Chen family, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

Speaking of this, Chen Jing had a hunch.

Xiaoman may really be from Hualian Lake. In addition to being a lotus root essence, it was also snatched from the Jing family.

The two brothers of Jingchan family captured Xiaoman in Hualian Lake, but Xiaoman looked down on the Jing family and was unwilling to cooperate.

Monsters cannot be forced. If they are really unwilling, at best they will refuse to cooperate, and at worst they will die in a matter of minutes.

Perhaps because they didn't want to waste it, Jing Chan and Jing Che used Xiaoman as bait to ambush some novice monks who were going to Jiuchong Mountain. However, Jing Chan was more cunning and killed his fifth brother, so Xiaoman fell into Chen Jing's hands.

"Xiaoman, maybe one day you can return to your real home." Chen Jing said.

"Yeah?" Man Sui turned her head, showing a thoughtful expression, then shook her head, "Yeah."

"Of course I'll go back with you."

"Yeah!"

Xiaoman's eyes curved into crescent-shaped arcs.

Pool expansion completed.

Plant the moon duckweed in the pond.

Summer is the best time for duckweed to grow. They like warm climates and sheltered, still water areas. They also have a need for nutrients. Artificial cultivation is definitely faster than letting them grow freely.

For example, the pond for raising duckweed should not be too large, because if it is too large it will not be able to shelter from the wind, unless it is like Hualian Lake, where there are many reeds growing in it, which can serve as a shelter from the wind.

These environments can be artificially intervened to allow duckweed to grow better.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

Just one month.

The family sat together, looking at the 120 bottles of Ninghua in front of them, and fell into a wonderful sense of satisfaction.

"The Chen family's income for three years is now only one month?"

The eldest brother Chen Gu was the fourth person to know about Yue Ningping. Although he had been told that the yield was astonishing, he still found it incredible that it was so astonishing.

In fact, the maximum income per month is one thousand bottles of condensed essence, but because it takes time for Xiaoman to convert ordinary duckweed into spiritual duckweed, Chen Jing has to convert the spiritual duckweed into hybrid duckweed again, and the hybrid duckweed seeds have degenerated for three generations, and other reasons, the actual output is far lower than the maximum output.

But even so, one hundred and twenty bottles of condensed essence in a month is still very impressive.

“Looking at the way you are, you should learn from your father. He remained calm when a sacred mountain collapsed in front of him and did not blink when a deer appeared on his left. I don’t ask you to achieve great things, but you still need to pay attention to practicing this skill of nourishing your energy.” Chen Ding immediately taught his eldest son.

Chen Jing raised his head, opened his mouth, and was speechless.

Dad, those are all my words!

The eldest brother, Chen Gu, was a truly honest man. He immediately admitted his mistake with shame: "Father, I understand what you have taught me!"

Chen Ding was extremely satisfied. His second son was difficult to educate and would talk back to him, using one novel word after another and making outlandish fallacies. Chen Ding would be taught a lesson by his son from time to time, which was really annoying.

The eldest son is still the best, he has found the sense of accomplishment of being a father!

"The credit for this matter mainly goes to Jing'er. Your father plans to make a trip to the Capital City Merchant Alliance. Jing'er will take 80% of the food and supplies obtained as a reward." Chen Ding said.

"I don't think it's appropriate!"

Chen Gu stood up and said seriously, "Dad, Brother Jing's talent is far superior to mine. The most urgent thing is to help Brother Jing practice with all our strength. As long as he can open all nine orifices within two years and before he turns twenty, he can become a disciple of the Qingnang Sect. Only then will our family be protected."

"Brother, you really think highly of me. You dare to say that I have opened all nine orifices in two years." Chen Jing held his forehead and said, "Look at our father. He will be 50 years old next year, and he has only opened seven orifices now." Chen Ding's amiable smile froze suddenly.

Ni, Nizi!

"With Yue Ningping, you are second only to one person. Your treatment is no less than that of a noble family's son. The noble families have people entering the Qingnang Sect from generation to generation. If they can do it, then you can do it too!"

Chen Gu looked very sincere, and said: "Now that our family is about to rise, we can no longer be as reckless as before. We must have strong people in our family. Brother Jing, you are still young, you must not waste your time!"

"I agree with Gu'er's idea." Chen Ding interrupted and said, "I have discussed this with your mother. Although we have Yue Ningping's help, we are still far behind the inner city nobles. Instead of dispersing the supply and having more Tongqiao, it is better to concentrate on one person and try to reach the upper limit of the Chen family."

This……

Chen Jing thought about it and it seemed to make sense.

But the problem is, how can I still farm?

After I'm gone, the seeds will degenerate into the original version after three generations!
"It's settled." Mother Liu made the final decision.

Chen Jing was stunned for a moment, then he was relieved. So be it. Two years is neither long nor short. Maybe more good things can be hybridized during this period.

And, what Big Brother said is very right.

The Chen family needs a strong man of their own, otherwise, would he really dare to hybridize some incredible things?

Nor dare.

"Then I'll work hard!"

Chen Jing stood up and agreed to the arrangement.

Chen Ding smiled and said, "There is no time to lose. I will go down the mountain to exchange for some necessary cultivation supplies and take care of the affairs of the prefecture. Jing'er will also come with me."

Chen Jing also remembered that his father said he would give him an exclusive reward.

I couldn't help but feel a little excited.

……

After more than two months, Chen Jing finally went down the mountain again.

What is somewhat frustrating is that the eroding spiritual rain has not completely stopped until now. Although it does not rain non-stop, it has only stopped for three to five days at most, and it is normal for it to rain for a few hours from time to time.

As soon as Chen Jing walked to the road outside the city, a group of people surrounded him.

They were ragged, looked haggard, and looked at themselves with hope in their eyes.

"Dad, were there so many beggars outside the city before?"

"The surrounding counties and towns can no longer hold on, so those who still have the strength have rushed to the city... At least the city organizes porridge distribution and relief every day."

Chen Ding sighed, "My family also receives relief every day. We provide porridge for an hour from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., with grain and meat. But the number of victims is increasing, and I really don't know what to do."

Although Chen Jing had been tortured by society in both his past and present lives, he had never seen such a scene, with so many people lying on the roadside waiting to die because they could not get enough food.

"Take me in, I can work..."

"Take me in, young master..."

As if he saw some reluctance in Chen Jing's eyes, the man who had been silent originally opened his dry throat and shouted softly.

Chen Ding patted Chen Jing on the shoulder and shook his head.

"Um……"

Chen Jing avoided those people's gazes.

What can I do?

If it weren't for the emergence of hybrid books, the Chen family would not have an easy time at this time, but simply ensuring that the Chen family is not affected is already the limit of what he can do.

"How fragile... in this peaceful and prosperous age."
