Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 263 Emperor Ye's Growth Path
Since the farming issue could not be resolved in a short time, Chen Jing decided to temporarily integrate into the local system.

The local system, again.

Humans hunt monsters, and monsters eat humans.

Monsters don’t know how to farm, and humans can’t grow anything on the land, so there’s nothing they can do except kill.

Exchanging the killing of civilians can not only bring stable income but also avoid unnecessary losses.

Putting conscience aside, this is the most efficient way we can find for each other.

Gu Xingqiu continued, "The six human factions will sell all their gains from hunting monsters after the Chamber of Commerce arrives. The six factions are very dependent on the cultivation supplies, such as spirit stones, elixirs, and talismans, that the Chamber of Commerce transports here."

"Are you only accepting materials from these monsters?" Chen Jing asked.

"Exactly."

Gu Xingqiu took out a jade tube and said, "This is the price list of monster materials over the years."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Gu."

Chen Jing took it and checked the local prices.

Leaving aside some items that are quite valuable, let’s just talk about the average price.

For monsters of this level, the price of a first-level monster is more than 20 spirit stones, the second-level is 80 spirit stones, and the third-level starts at 200 spirit stones.

From the fourth stage onwards, they are sold individually, and the prices are different for each item, so they cannot be calculated based on the average price.

As for the demon race, their value is about twice that of demon beasts.

Chen Jing compared the prices in Suizhou and found that the price of monster materials here was only about one tenth of that.

A pretty good monster has been reduced to the same wholesale price as spiritual pork.

Monster materials are not daily consumables to be eaten, but "industrial raw materials" that can be used in talismans and magical tools. The remaining scraps can be made into fertilizers and are worth more than this price.

Maybe it’s because spirit stones are more valuable here?

Anyway, Chen Jing only had one thought at this moment: I want to do this business!

If I could form a caravan that could travel freely between Shenzhou and the underworld, wouldn't the profit starting at ten times be better than farming?

It is simply the Age of Discovery in the spiritual world.

Unfortunately, the initial investment is a problem.

To be able to cross the realms, one must at least have a good sixth-order flying boat, or at least a fifth-order one.

If possible, it would be best to have a treasure-level flying boat.

Only the most precious flying boats, such as the Yunkun flying boat of the Netherworld Society, can freely pass through the thick boundary barriers of Shenzhou and do business from Shenzhou.

Chen Jing suppressed the desire in his heart.

Although it is not possible to join this great voyage of the cultivation world immediately, it is not impossible to intercept this business.

The six sects in the Southern Wilderness sold these materials at low prices, but what they got in return was actually garbage.

Here, even ordinary spiritual rice is sold at five or six times the price in Suizhou. As a result, the value of the Queen of Peiyuan Rice has doubled.

In this case, why should we let the Chamber of Commerce make the difference? Chen's technology tree, from level one to level five, is almost fully lit up, and even includes a large number of level six and even Taoist spells.

Chen Jing can afford whatever the Chamber of Commerce can give.

"All of this is based on one premise, which is force... Otherwise, given the way things are done here, why would you pay for something you can just rob?"

His attention shifted to Pingmo Mountain again.

……

The fourth-level wolf demon came quickly and died quickly.

Pingshan Guanfang Market has returned to normal.

Ye Fan chatted with Wei Ning for a while, then went to find an exchange office, ready to exchange all the monsters he hunted for spirit stones.

"When did this monster become so cheap?" Ye Fan asked curiously.

The exchange price was about 20% lower than expected.

The priest at the exchange office said, "Lord Chen adjusted the price himself. After all, there are monsters everywhere here. Even if the price is a little lower, it will be enough to make a lot of money."

"That's true." Ye Fan nodded.

After exchanging the monster for spiritual banknotes and dividing the money with his teammates, Ye Fan called them aside.

Ye Fan said, "I have always been good at guessing what Lord Chen meant. When Lord Chen first founded the Demon Slaying Division, I saw that Lord Chen urgently needed us to master combat power, so I decisively left the Agricultural Persuasion Office and joined the Demon Slaying Division. Sure enough, in the Demon Slaying Division, all resources were supplied very quickly, and I became the An Ning Society cultivator who reached the third realm the fastest."

"As expected of Brother Ye!" the baby-faced male monk praised him, and asked, "What did Brother Ye see this time?"

"There are many monsters here. Simply relying on monster hunting will only bring temporary success. When An Ning has no shortage of monster materials and has no place to sell them, the price of monster materials will drop significantly."

He put forward his own views.

At this time, the baby-faced male monk groaned and said, "What should we do? We don't know how to do anything except hunting monsters."

"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished talking yet. But I have to say that I am not a worm in Lord Chen's stomach. Lord Chen himself probably doesn't know what to do when he first arrives here. But one thing is certain, Lord Chen will focus on hunting monsters. There is nothing else worth hunting in this poor and remote place except monsters...

It seems that the more you hunt monsters, the less valuable they will be. But that is not what we should consider. Instead, it is what Lord Chen should consider. Will Lord Chen collect a bunch of things that are becoming less and less valuable?

I guess Lord Chen will either find a good market for them, or find a way to make these monsters valuable."

After Ye Fan analyzed it for a while, he said: "We not only have to hunt monsters, but we also have to increase our efforts to hunt monsters. The four of us are far from enough. It's time to expand our manpower."

"Ah? Then shall we go to the Demon Slayer Department to recruit people?"

"No need. Let's go to the Agricultural Persuasion Institute to recruit people. The weaving institute or the medicine institute will also do. We don't recruit them to go to the battlefield, but to provide some cheap low-level supplies. We can't choose people to kill monsters from the Demon Slaying Bureau because the price is too high. As for the candidates, let's find some cheap ones." Ye Fan said with a smile.

"Brother Ye means... to find these local monks in the Southern Wilderness?"

"That's right, local monks, or those young men who have just become monks. Anyway, we monks of An Ning Society, I dare not say anything else, but in terms of learning quickly, no one can compare with us. With a little training, they will be good monster hunters."

"Let's hunt monsters and be cannon fodder!"

"Without us, they dare to come and risk their lives to hunt monsters in exchange for a better future. With us, whether they have the ability to survive or the way to make money, aren't they better than them risking their lives to test it?"

Ye Fan patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go, Ling Zhi, Xiao Nan, Shi Lang, you all ask about the situation of the local cultivators in the Southern Wilderness. Although we are not very picky, it is good to have good seedlings. I will ask Master Chen now to see if he can help us."

"As expected of Brother Ye, he can actually talk directly to Lord Chen." The baby-faced man Ling Zhi looked envious.

The several people have completed the division of labor.

soon.

Chen Jing received Ye Fan’s private chat request and thought that the other party was in danger, so he immediately took a look.

I felt relieved only after confirming that everything was fine.

He has always kept an eye on this guy who looks like a king or a hero.

He once thought that if he met a true genius, he would be jealous.

After all, my essence is ordinary and common.

After experiencing it myself, I only have one thought: it’s good to have them, the more the better.

Many things can be done by leaving them to others and you can get a passing or excellent result.

But if you leave it to Ye Fan, you can get an excellent and outstanding result.

"Master Chen, there are many monsters in the mountains..."

Ye Fan detailed his findings and then put forward his own idea, which was to directly recruit local people from the Southern Wilderness to join the Demon-Slaying Division.

Listened to his advice.

Chen Jing pondered seriously.

In fact, what Ye Fan said has always existed.

To put it in a term he is more familiar with, it is social recruitment.

Currently, there are many ways to join An Ning, but the best way is for mortals to join the Agricultural Promotion Office, obtain Tao seeds, and then master the basic spiritual planting and agricultural techniques.

After that, when you become a formal agricultural official, you can consider further studies at the Agricultural Promotion Institute, or change jobs and careers.

The cultivators of this path have a good family background and the most opportunities for promotion. Those who come from this lineage are all considered to be Chen Jing's direct descendants.

Secondly, the big families have their own connections. They hold many management positions. Although they have to follow procedures to get things done, it is definitely different if they have connections.

The last step is social recruitment.

The origin is rather complicated, and it is difficult to get into the mountain and enter the core layer.

Important departments like the Demon Slaying Department would not recruit from the outside.

Now that An Ning Mansion has declined, social recruitment has completely ceased. Those who came here together, even those who were recruited through social recruitment before, are now considered to be tested colleagues.

It can be considered purified.

Chen Jing has always been concerned about the issue of factions.

He will not demand the absence of factions. There is a saying that goes, there are no factions within the party, but all sorts of weird things can happen.

As long as people have not turned into machines, they will form cliques.

As China develops, the clan power that has been passed down for thousands of years has disintegrated, and modern education emphasizes personal effort. But in fact, personal effort is only one of the truths of success. If Chen Jing had not been reborn and personally experienced the environment of family solidarity, it would have been difficult for him to realize the importance of circles and factions.

When it comes to doing big things, more people is better.

He is where he is today because he united the right people and attracted a group of die-hard supporters.

Otherwise, it would be like the monks in the lower world, who toiled and hunted monsters for hundreds of years, and whose efforts moved heaven and earth, but turned around and were sold without knowing it.

What Chen Jing was considering at this time was the relevant issue.

Now that the environment has changed, the central idea of ​​uniting the grassroots people cannot change.

In the past, I had to achieve this goal by farming.

But the problem of bad land here has not been solved and farming cannot be done. We should indeed find another way to absorb the poor people at the bottom of the Southern Wilderness and provide them with a sustainable channel for upward mobility.

Before the Evil Land, it continued to accommodate the people of the Southern Wilderness. After the issues in the Evil Land were resolved, the core focus shifted from farming to a dual-core drive of farming and monster hunting.

"Not bad, eh..."

Chen Jing was about to say something when he discovered that Ye Fan on the other end had suddenly realized something.

He was convinced.

Although the Way of Thick Earth was created by myself, I am no longer the only practitioner. I have created a method of inheritance for the Way of Thick Earth, and others can also add to the Way of Thick Earth.

At the moment, Ye Fan himself did not realize that his proposal just solved the predicament of the An Ning Society and also found a definite strategy for the further spread of the Way of Thick Earth in the Southern Wilderness.

Therefore, the Dao gave feedback and Ye Fan's "Dao blossomed".

"Not bad, not bad. I look forward to the day when you become Emperor Ye Tian."

Chen Jing left an incarnation of his spiritual consciousness for the other party as a protection, and then his attention was drawn elsewhere.

He sensed Hua Qingxia's aura...

……

Suizhou.

On the Juetian Peak.

Just now.

Hua Qingxia was promoted to the Shenzang realm!
"It's done. I am now a powerful cultivator in the fourth realm!"

Hua Qingxia looked up to the sky and howled.

She spread out her territory, which was like a bright mirror, transparent and clear. There was only one giant tree, with no end visible, standing tall towards the sky.

Taoist Yun Ting stroked his beard and looked around the area.

"In this way, you should be able to contact Chen Jing again."

"Master, you didn't even say congratulations to me first!"

Hua Qingxia clenched her small fists.

"Junior Brother Chen is down there, Junior Sister is concerned about him too, right?"

Yan Jinrao was also here, crossing her arms and smiling.

"Senior Sister Yan doesn't care about me anymore!"

Hua Qingxia's head drooped immediately. "Chen Jing is fine now. Although I can't contact him, I can roughly sense his condition. Hum, he is so relaxed, just like he is on vacation."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and, in a field that seemed like it contained thousands of mirrors, a figure slowly emerged from the largest mirror.

It was Chen Jing.

"Eh... Senior Sister Hua?" Chen Jing's silhouette gradually became clearer. He smiled and said, "Congratulations to Senior Sister Hua for breaking through. From now on, you will be invincible and immortal!"

"Hehehe, you're still the best. Master and Senior Sister don't care about me at all!"

Hua Qingxia suddenly became happy and smiled as bright as a flower.

"How are you down there!"

"I will tell you my story slowly, Master, Senior Sister Yan." Chen Jing greeted them and said, "How are you these days?"

Yan Jinrao glanced at Taoist Yun Ting and responded first.

"Of course I'm fine, but unfortunately after you left, I lost the money earned by the An Ning Mansion's elixir shop, and my wallet became much thinner."

"The Peace Club should still be there."

Chen Jing said.

Although he took away a large part of the An Ning Society's forces, the An Ning Society was already spread throughout Suizhou. There were An Ning Society members in all major cities, so he definitely did not take all of them away.

As for the part that cannot be taken away, it is still operated by someone.

However, things like the Mana Forest and Cloud Academy are temporarily unavailable.

Hua Qingxia said at this time: "Don't worry, I have helped you to support your An Ning Association. Now that I have become Shen Zang, I can contact you. You can use me as a go-between and continue to manage the An Ning Association here!"

"Senior Sister Hua is still awesome."

Chen Jing sensed it and found that it was indeed the case.

at the same time.

The members of Suizhou Peace Association, who were originally depressed, suddenly became excited because they sensed that the closed Yunshang Palace and Mana Forest had reopened!

but.

Chen Jing discovered that although he could open the permissions of the Mana Forest, they were too far apart to transfer their mana to each other.

"Sister, we need to rebuild the Mana Forest and find something to store mana."

"Look what this is!"

Hua Qingxia pointed to the Jianmu branches in the field.

"The Jianmu branch can completely replace the second mana forest and store mana. From now on, you will have two mana forests."

"Wonderful."

Chen Jing felt relieved. In this way, Sui Zhou's An Ning Club could continue to operate.

He can manage it remotely, and Hua Qingxia, who has the magic of telepathy, can also act as the full agent.

Hua Qingxia said: "Everything is normal in the sect. The two sects are not continuing to look for thorns in the Qingnang Sect. From what I know, it seems that something happened in the lower realm, and now everyone is looking down."

Chen Jing said: "That's good."

The Qingnang Sect also had a valuable opportunity for development.

Taoist Yun Ting said at this time: "Tell me what it's like to stay in the lower world."

"Yes, the place I came to is probably located in the fifth level of the underworld. This world is called Southern Wasteland..."

Chen Jing recounted what he had seen and heard during this period.
