Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 92 The Pig Who Carries Everything

Chen Jing arrived outside Elder Tu's main hall and happened to see Elder Tu preaching in front of his disciples.

The disciples accepted by the peak master are true disciples, taught by the peak master himself, and can directly obtain the property within the peak, which is equivalent to a prince.

Other ordinary disciples are just workers who can only practice on their own without a master to guide them.

Elders can be understood as high-ranking officials or senior executives who are promoted from ordinary disciples.

There are only two ways for ordinary disciples to learn the Dharma and ask for the Tao. One is the open class, where the elders in the Shenzang period give public sermons every day. The elders take turns to come, and there are at least several elders giving sermons every day, without interruption.

This is the most common learning path for ordinary disciples.

The second is “buying courses”.

The good thing about buying courses is that they guarantee teaching until you learn it. The elders will provide Taoist methods and all the supporting teaching materials. If Chen Jing buys a course on Taoist alchemy, the elders will provide all the raw materials needed for practice.

Of course, the price is not very beautiful.

Chen Jing was giving a public sermon right now.

Elder Tu was a fat old man with a kind face, holding a big rooster in his big hand.

"Today I will talk about the art of slaughtering. This art is about killing well but not about killing. It requires a quick kill without causing the animal to suffer. For this reason I have created a secret method called 'Pao Ding's Slaughtering Technique'. Please watch carefully."

I saw Elder Tu exerting his magical power.

A ball of light vibrated, and the big rooster in his hand exploded instantly, turning into pieces that fell down all over the sky.

There were bowls, plates, baskets and many other things placed in front of the elder.

With a clattering sound, the chicken blood fell into the bowl, the chopped chicken fell into the plate, the intact internal organs fell into another plate, and the chicken feathers fell into the basket.

"This method is divided into three parts: eyes, hands, and heart. I will teach you the eyes method to observe the internal organs, tendons, bones, qi and blood..."

The monks studied with their eyes wide open, fascinated.

"If you fully master this secret method, you can come to the Spirit Beast Hall to slaughter spirit beasts. The basic contribution is 5,000 per month, and there are additional commissions!"

After finishing speaking.

Elder Tu did not forget to make an advertisement.

All the disciples retreated, and when Elder Tu saw Chen Jing still staying there, he immediately put on a smiling face.

"Chen Zhenchuan has been waiting for a long time."

"Why wait so long? Elder Tu is indeed the pillar of our Spirit Beast Hall. I am very interested in listening to this secret method. He explains it in detail and in a very interesting way. I really admire him."

"Hahahaha, you are too kind. When the True Disciple first arrived here, he must have many questions. It just so happens that I have nothing to do, so I will take the True Disciple to have a good look around this Spirit Beast Hall."

"I can't ask for it."

Elder Tu led the way and asked, "Is there anything you would like to know about the true teachings?"

“I actually want to know.”

“But you must want to know what can make the most contribution.” Elder Tu said with a smile.

"The elder has a keen eye."

After Chen Jing said that he had roughly inquired about the business content of the Spirit Beast Hall, Elder Tu said.

"Now, 60% of the income of the Spirit Beast Hall is used for operation, and the remaining 40% of the profit, 10% goes to the Peak Master, 10% to the Senior Brother, 10% to us elders, and the last 10% belongs to the True Disciple. If the True Disciple is unwilling to take charge, then everything will be as usual and we can leave it to the old man and others to manage. If you need anything, just ask, the True Disciple will make the decision."

"I have to rely on a few elders."

Elder Tu looked at Chen Jing, who nodded and listened quietly, and whose gentle and calm appearance made him feel favorable towards him immediately.

Although the characters of the first few true disciples of Juetian Peak were impeccable, there were always some difficult ones appearing every now and then from other neighboring peaks. She was somewhat worried that this parachuted prince would have a bad personality, but now that she saw his speech and actions, she felt much more at ease.

"Since the true disciple is concerned about the benefits, let's start with me first..."

Elder Tu brought Chen Jing to the beast pen.

The smart big white pigs were lying leisurely in the pigsty. When they saw people coming, they looked up and then lay down again.

"This spiritual pig is quite popular among the monks. The wine houses and restaurants in the market buy a large number of them. Each one can earn about 500 contributions. This pig accounts for half of the income from slaughtering spiritual beasts."

“Where is the cost?”

"Spirit pigs eat very well. More than 60% of the cost is spent on feeding pills. In addition, it is not easy to give birth to and take care of spirit pigs. It requires cultivators to be proficient in many secret methods such as "Care of Beasts" and "Gathering Beasts". When slaughtering, cultivators who are proficient in the art of butchering are also needed. In addition, there are always unexpected events, occasional evil spirits, and entanglements with diseased spirits..."

Chen Jing listened to it roughly.

The cost is based on feed costs, labor costs, equipment maintenance costs...

Equipment maintenance refers to the formation. The formation will not break down normally, you just need to replace the spirit stones. If it breaks down, you will suffer a huge loss.

Talismans are used regularly to expel evil spirits, plagues, diseases, etc.

Feed costs are the biggest cost.

"Then can't we make the nourishing pill ourselves?" Chen Jing asked.

"It won't save much. Feeding pills are divided into five categories, and each category is time-consuming and laborious to refine. Spirit pigs eat a lot, so ten or so alchemists are not enough, and more is not cost-effective. It's better to hand it all over to the Alchemy Hall."

"I see."

Chen Jing didn’t understand these things, so he could only learn about them first.

By the way, I asked which of the five kinds of feeding pills was the most consumed, and I got the answer "rice pill". Rice pills are mostly made from spiritual grains and plants such as spiritual rice. Although they are cheap, pigs eat them the most.

The elder then took him to see several other types of slaughtering spirit beasts.

Various kinds of magical birds, similar to magical pigs.

Next is a kind of spiritual beast called a treasure beast. This spiritual beast is not for eating, but for use.

Many talismans and magic tools require the blood, bones, skin, fur, etc. of precious beasts. Their entire bodies are precious, so they are called precious beasts. Among them, only the precious beasts are at a disadvantage.

"Elder Tu, why do we continue to open treasure beasts, war beasts, fighting beasts, and viewing spirit beasts when we can't earn any contribution?"

Chen Jing asked.

"It's just that our Spirit Beast Hall can't earn any contribution. For example, the precious beast is needed for many elixirs, magic tools and talismans, but we sell it very cheaply, so naturally we can't earn any contribution. Why don't you sell it at a higher price?"

Elder Tu laughed.

Chen Jing thought about it for a moment and understood the meaning behind the elder's words.

"It is precisely because of the rigid demand that it cannot be sold at a high price, otherwise everything else will become expensive as well."

"what?"

Elder Tu glanced at Chen Jing with approval.

"The true teaching is indeed smart, just like ordinary rice. Everyone eats it, but once it becomes expensive, some people can't afford it. If they can't afford it, many people will starve to death...

The same is true for treasure beasts. It is already difficult for disciples to practice. Once the price of treasure beasts increases, all resources will increase as well. Ordinary disciples will not be able to survive. Therefore, the peak master personally ordered that the price of treasure beasts should not increase.

However, fighting beasts and viewing spirit beasts are another matter. Although you may lose money on weekdays, you can actually make money, but not from selling them. For example, in fighting beasts, each peak in the sect has a fighting beast competition. If you win once, you can have everything.
Finally, there are war beasts. We are not good enough in this category. The war beasts from the next peak are better. We can’t sell ours.”

Chen Jing stayed with Elder Tu for a whole day and asked questions about everything he saw.

Elder Tu also told everyone everything he knew, explaining every aspect of the Spirit Beast Hall clearly.

The more he understood, the more difficult it became for Chen Jing to deal with the situation.

He couldn't seem to find any solution for improvement.

In other words, it seems that there is room for optimization everywhere, but upon closer inspection, there are numerous difficulties. Either the cost outweighs the gain, or the investment is huge and there is no capital.

Chen Jing still thought that he could rule the country with a vision that transcended his time, but in the end he had to admit that he was not a buried genius.

"I can only use the stupid method..."

Return to the mansion.

Chen Jing looked up the recipe for the pill.

All pill recipes of the second level and below are open to the true disciples.

He found Midan.

Looking at the proportions of materials, I fell into deep thought.

"Ninety percent of the income of the Spirit Beast Hall comes from slaughtering spirit beasts, and fifty percent of the income from slaughtering spirit beasts comes from spirit pigs, while sixty percent of the cost of spirit pigs comes from feed..."

——Reducing the cost of feed is equivalent to making huge profits!
Chen Jing's thoughts opened up.

In addition to earning contributions from Wendaodan, we will also develop Midan's cost reduction plan.

Among them, the cost of refining Midan's elixir is minimal, and it all comes from grains. In other words, Peiyuan rice can be used as the main ingredient.

But it’s not possible. Peiyuan rice is too expensive and people don’t like the amount they eat.

"It's bigger, more filling, cheaper, and doesn't taste bad, since it's for pigs anyway..."

Chen Jing had an idea.

Beef tendon Peiyuan rice, conversely, how about Peiyuan beef tendon grass?
But it still needs some modification, and you can choose a pair that is more suitable.

Besides.

He had no land to grow new hybrid spiritual plants.

Chen Jing thought for a moment and changed his mind.

“Instead of me planting, others would beg me to plant… It’s time to sell seeds.”

……

The other end.

In Elder Tu’s residence sat the other four elders.

"Old Tu, what is the personality of our new true disciple?"

"Let's take a look, it's not bad."

Elder Tu touched his round belly and recalled the day's interactions.

"He is impeccable in his dealings with others, and is very attentive to everything going on in the hall. If I have any opinions, he is willing to listen to me, and is not someone who interferes without permission."

"The Peak Master has given us a good true teaching."

Another elder laughed.

"But... I see that this true disciple is not like the fourth true disciple who just sits there and does nothing. He will most likely take some action..."

Elder Tu added.

"It doesn't matter. As long as he doesn't do it recklessly, it doesn't matter if we old guys accompany him to deal with it. What if he develops a sword technique that belongs to our Spirit Beast Hall like the third true disciple..."

"I've been dreaming all day. Pills have different qualities, and pork has its own quality."

The other elders laughed.

In fact, there are also differences in the quality of spiritual pork, but unlike the Daodan, the higher the quality is not the better. The quality can be lower, but the price must not go up, otherwise there will be no way out.

After this.

They hadn't seen Chen Jing for a long time.
