Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 87 Cultivating the Blood Field

Gong Tianwu nodded and said disdainfully:
"These are all trivial matters. These people didn't even dare to fart when Yaqi was around, which shows that their background is limited. I even killed Yaqi, so why should I be afraid of them?"

After hearing what Gong Tianwu said, although Granny Zhu still agreed with him, she had to consider her former master's face and did not dare to say anything more.

Of course, Gong Tianwu also deliberately made such an arrogant attitude. After all, if you, as a big boss, can't stand up, how can you subdue these monsters below?

It is obvious that the underground gangs and gray organizations in Kouzhenguan are well-informed, and no one dares to try it next time.

The members of the Black Mountain Gang considered themselves unlucky. They came one after another with corpses on their shoulders, looking dejected. Before dark, they had gathered ten corpses that could be used to fertilize the fields.

Among the corpses, there were those of cattle, horses, and monsters. The rarest one was a naked human corpse with a large bloody hole on its chest.

It is said that three days ago, a registered disciple who went out wanted to kill a golden scorpion, but was killed instead.

Not only were all the personal belongings looted by their fellow "brothers", but the bodies were also resold.

Gong Tianwu didn't want to go back on his word, so after counting all the people, he waved his hand and let the third master go.

I guess after being locked up for an entire afternoon, this old man finally figured out what was going on.

When he saw Gong Tianwu again, his face was pale. He didn't dare to say a word and just turned around and walked away in shame.

At this time, Gong Tianwu took out the bloody corpse bags and prepared to transport the corpses one by one to be used as materials for fertilizing the fields.

As a result, at this moment, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes came forward, bowed and said:
"Sir, I'm Du Yong. I'd like to add a few words here. Sir, are you transporting these corpses to the blood fields to use as fertilizer?"

Gong Tianwu immediately stared at him and said:

"That's right. I have just taken over an acre of Class C blood field. I am required to hand over two bottles of blood and flesh essence every month. I have no experience in this area and I need someone to give me some advice."

"I don't know how Yaqi did it before, but in my hands, those who can and are willing to work will definitely get more benefits. I haven't thought about the specific treatment yet."

"But let's not talk about anything else. Just the distribution of caves in this small lonely mountain will definitely be reshuffled."

Having said that, Gong Tianwu looked around:

"I'm going to make it clear here that whoever is useful to me will get the best resources and the best treatment."

When everyone heard this, they were suddenly filled with mixed feelings of worry and joy.

When Yaqi was in office, the management was actually very loose, and whoever had the bigger fist could occupy more resources. But now it is obvious that the new official has taken three fires after taking office, and he wants to break this rule.

Du Yong was overjoyed when he heard what Gong Tianwu said, and hurriedly said:
"Sir, I happened to hear someone talk about this before. In fact, there is a lot of knowledge involved in fertilizing the blood field. Just the treatment of the flower fertilizer is a big deal. Simply throwing the corpse into the flower field is the least efficient way."

Gong Tianwu immediately said seriously:
"Go on."

Du Yong said:
"From the perspective of the Five Elements Theory, the blood field should be classified as earth and water, and the fertilizer itself actually has the attributes of the Five Elements, lung metal, heart fire, liver wood, kidney water, and spleen earth."

"So, the flower fertilizer must be dissected first, the five internal organs must be separated, and then blended, chopped, and stirred in the proportion of one wood, two fire, three gold, four water, and five earth."

Gong Tianwu quickly thought about it in his mind and found that if the proportions of the five internal organs were interpreted using Earth's mathematics, then 1.5 kilograms (1500 grams) of the five internal organs should include 100 grams of liver, 200 grams of heart, 300 grams of lungs, 400 grams of kidneys, and 500 grams of spleen.

But he immediately asked:

"Since it follows the order of the five elements, then the liver and heart should be thrown away directly. Why are they included in it?"

Du Yong said:
"This has been verified by others. The fertilizer that completely discards the liver and heart is not as good as the one configured according to this ratio. The principle should be that the five elements can both restrain and generate each other."

"In addition, parts other than the five internal organs also need to be processed using special methods, which are divided into eight steps: smoking, roasting, salt roasting, etc."

After hearing this, Gong Tianwu waved his hand and said:
"Okay, you don't have to say anything. I just want the final processed fertilizer. You don't have to tell me how to do it. Just tell me if you need manpower and materials, and I will be responsible for the dispatch. After this is done, your contribution will be indispensable."

Du Yong immediately smiled and said:

"Yes!"

***
Eight hours later,

Gong Tianwu returned to the blood field with two full bags of blood. He then used a large iron and wooden shovel to dig out all the remaining stems and main roots, and threw them onto the nearby ridge.

Then he took out an iron and wooden curved plow from the storage bag, put it on himself and started plowing the soil.

You know, at this time, Gong Tianwu's personal quality and strength are far beyond ordinary people, and he can definitely catch up with a heavy tractor!

It was just one acre of land, and it took less than an hour from clearing to deep plowing to finish it.

His actions also attracted the one-eyed demon bats in the distance to fly over and watch, whispering.

After all, the main purpose of the farmers is to collect fertilizer for flowers and flowers, and only a few of them do the farming themselves. However, Gong Tianwu took it calmly and remained unmoved.

After finishing all these things, Gong Tianwu took out the blood bag, opened the bag and began to pour the newly prepared field fertilizer into the renovated blood field.

To be honest, this thing doesn't look good. It looks a bit like spoiled tomatoes + milk + raw meat thrown into a blender for 30 seconds to make a thick paste. The smell is particularly pungent and it's almost nauseating.

At this time, Bat 89 flapped its wings actively, staring at Gong Tianwu doing this in amazement, and exclaimed:

"Oh my god, you actually cultivated the fields by yourself? You actually took care of such menial tasks by yourself. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"

Gong Tianwu was stunned and said:
"Why? The rest of the people let someone else do it?"

Bat 89 said in surprise:

"Of course. The other landowners can only go to the tenant farmers in the valley to find some fertilizers and spend their contribution points to hire blood-field tenant farmers to take care of the fields. If you give more benefits and higher rents, the yield will definitely be higher."

"How can a farm owner personally take care of this? Planting a blood field is dirty, tiring, and time-consuming. The farm owner is afraid that his fellow disciples will surpass him in cultivation progress, so he wants to be on time every minute and every second to save time for cultivation."

But Bat 89 suddenly realized something, and his voice became quieter and quieter, and then he suddenly laughed dryly:
"Ah, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I'm such a talker. Ah!!"

The last "Ah" it uttered was an out-and-out scream, because Gong Tianwu approached it, slapped it hard in the face, and then pinched it in his hand.

"You are not a talkative person, you are very frugal with words."

Gong Tianwu looked at it and said with a fake smile:
"The last time you brought me here, why don't I remember telling me to hire a Blood Field tenant farmer?"

Bat 89 suddenly said aggrievedly:

"I didn't even have the chance to say anything! You left so quickly!"

Gong Tianwu chuckled and said:

"I don't care whether what you said is true or false, but I only look at the results. Since you didn't make the information you should have told me clear, then it's your problem."

"If you don't agree, you can compete with me to see whose fist is bigger. If you can't win, you can call for help. If you can't call for help, don't blame me for taking action against you."

Bat 89 was speechless for a moment when faced with Gong Tianwu's bandit logic.

The next second, Gong Tianwu grabbed his right leg and bent it hard. There was a crisp "crack" sound, and it felt like a twig was broken.

The little monster immediately screamed loudly and rolled violently on the ground, attracting the rest of the one-eyed demon bats to gather around.

At first, Gong Tianwu narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that these guys were very united and that if one person was beaten, a large group would come to help.

As they got closer, they realized they were all there to mock and ridicule us:
"Hahaha, look at this little idiot."

"Wow, may you break a leg every day."

"Why is only one broken? I would have just broken its neck."

"When we return to the nest later, I will give you a small gift that I have carefully prepared. I hope you like it!"

"."

Gong Tianwu was too lazy to care about these things for the time being, and poured all the fertilizers prepared in the two blood bags into the field. Don't underestimate these two blood bags, the fertilizers poured out of them are all liquid, at least more than three tons of fertilizers were poured in, and the stench was overwhelming for a while.

But one could feel that this acre of blood field was greedily absorbing nutrients, bubbling continuously.

Listening to the sound of the bubbles bursting, there seems to be a strange sense of satisfaction.

After finishing these things, Gong Tianwu straightened up, then let out a long sigh and walked to the side of the collapsed Bat 89:

"I'll come back tomorrow and break your other leg."

Bat 89 was stunned:

"Why!!"

Gong Tianwu said:

"How dare you come and actively deceive me and cause me losses? My fist is bigger than yours!"

Bat 89 began to pull his hair madly, shouting in despair:

"You can't do this!"

Gong Tianwu said indifferently:
"I can, unless you can make up for my loss. Now think carefully about what use you are to me."

After doing all these things, Gong Tianwu left the Blood Valley. He now urgently needed to take a cold shower to wash off the bad smell on his body.

***
The next day, Gong Tianwu came to the Blood Valley again and started to use the bloody corpse bag to "dung dun dun" inside.

As for the source of field fertilizer, of course it was from his group of cheap subordinates who exercised their own subjective initiative.

Snakes have their own paths, rats have their own ways. This group of people can't accomplish big things, but can't they accomplish small things?
Bat 89 came over timidly, saying that he could still be of some use:

That is, when the blood cabbages planted in the blood field grow up, you can occasionally stop the conflicts between them, thus reducing the losses of the owner of the field.

Gong Tianwu sneered:

"No need to go through so much trouble. After tomorrow, I should be able to raise the fertility of this blood field to Grade B. Then I can just plant blood lotus roots directly."

By the way, at this time, Gong Tianwu’s farming plan was no longer provided by Du Yong alone, but a three-person team was making suggestions behind the scenes.

In fact, Du Yong had never cultivated a blood field. He only heard about it from others when he was drinking and bragging in Kouzhenguan.

In the Blood God Sect, there have long been special regulations and clauses for the cultivation of blood fields. The people in charge believe that it can be done by just reading from the script and strictly following the rules.

Therefore, those tenant farmers who were specifically responsible for cultivating the blood fields were actually not valued, and because their bodies were eroded by blood and qi for a long time, their lifespans were short and they were considered consumables.

This kind of arrogant and short-sighted behavior has actually appeared repeatedly in history:

For example, the Qing Dynasty resolutely banned firearms because it conquered the world through cavalry and archery.

For example, the Ming Dynasty adhered to its ancestral precepts that the emperor must guard the country's borders. Chongzhen could have fled to the south of the Yangtze River, but he was hanged on Coal Hill in the end.

Some blood field tenants became physically weak and could no longer support farming, but were left homeless, so they stayed in Kouzhen Pass and eventually died of weakness and illness.

Little did they know that along with their demise would also be their decades of rich experience in cultivating blood fields.

Du Yong found two poor and sick tenant farmers and asked them for advice.

It must be mentioned that to become a blood field tenant one must have reached the first stage of Qi Refining, or have reached the level of Ming Jin in martial arts. The source is of course recruited from outside.

After hearing what Gong Tianwu said, Bat 89 immediately screamed:

"That would make me more useful, my Lord!"

"I will keep an eye on this field at all times to prevent anyone from stealing our fertilizer."

"Not only that, I will also collect the stamens when the blood lotus blooms, so that the production of blood lotus seeds can be increased by at least 20%."

After hearing this, Gong Tianwu said calmly:
"Very good. I hope you can do this. If you are useful to me, you will be able to gain my favor."

***
Seven days later,
The blood field that Gong Tianwu got has changed a lot.
On the bone ridges surrounding the blood field, blood frogs were already lazily lying in the sun.

Once the one-eyed demon bats swoop down, the blood frogs will vomit venom at them. If someone approaches, they will jump into the blood field with a plop, splashing a sticky blood flower.

Just as blood maggots are a sign that the blood field's fertility has reached Grade B, the appearance of blood frogs means that the fertility of this blood field has actually reached Grade B-medium level.

At least a dozen strange blood lotus plants have grown pointed horns in the field, and their growth rate is at least 10% faster than normal.

Bat 89 was concentrating on staying above the blood field, monitoring all movements nearby.

The reason why it was so active was because Gong Tianwu promised that he would give it at least two blood lotus seeds when harvesting them. If the harvest was good, it could get up to five seeds.

Personal interests are the greatest driving force for enthusiasm, no doubt about it.

After inspecting the blood field, Gong Tianwu did not leave in a hurry, but came to Quannongju, leaned on the counter and chatted with the two familiar managers who were born as blood slaves.

He also threw over a small jar of wine which was not expensive but scarce in the sect, and then slowly left.

The two managers' attitude towards Gong Tianwu was both grateful and somewhat awed.

The reason for their gratitude, of course, was that Gong Tianwu could often bring them some benefits from outside.

As for awe, when the two of them were bullied by their powerful colleagues, Gong Tianwu watched silently by the side, seemingly doing nothing.

After a while, Gong Tianwu found an excuse to beat up the bully, causing him to scream in pain.

This made the two of them beam with joy and relieved. When they thanked him later, Gong Tianwu patted them on the shoulders and said seriously:

"You're welcome, we are family."

This term of "our own people" undoubtedly benefited them very much as they were born as blood slaves. They felt as if they had found their organization.

Of course, Fang Linyan’s hard work must have been richly rewarded.

It can be said that the current prosperity of his blood field is largely due to the contributions of these two managers, who have given Gong Tianwu great help within the scope of their authority.

After inspecting the blood field, Gong Tianwu returned to Xiaogushan and saw that the place had changed drastically:

The most obvious thing is that the number of caves carved out on the rock wall of Xiaogushan has increased significantly, from a dozen to thirty-five.

Gong Tianwu has had people test it and found that even in the cave farthest from the spiritual vein, the spiritual energy there is two or three times that of the cave at the Gate of Truth.

In other words, as long as you don't care about the evil spirit in the spiritual vein, practicing in the cave here for a year is equivalent to practicing in the gate of truth for more than 30 months. Such abundant spiritual energy is enough to be called a rare place for practice in the outside world.

Standing outside Xiaogushan at this time were no longer just the small group of people that Yaqi had gathered before, but more than two hundred people who were interested in the cultivation resources of Xiaogushan!
In addition, large areas of woods around Xiaogushan were cut down, and more than twenty new wooden buildings were built.

The wooden building was designed by Gong Tianwu himself (plagiarized), and its comfort and layout far surpass the backward products here.

In fact, Gong Tianwu, who already has the thinking of a modern person at this time, has reached the peak of his contempt for Yaqi.

This guy is really begging with a golden bowl. The people in Kouzhenguan may have bad character, low cultivation and even lower status, but the resources in their hands must be considerable!

Gong Tianwu looked at the people rushing over and said straight to the point without further ado:
"Now, we are going to start auctioning the right to use the spirit caves in Xiaogushan for half a year. This time we are auctioning spirit caves 10 to 34."

"There is a number plate hanging above the spirit cave. You should have seen it before, and you have gone in to experience the concentration of spiritual energy since yesterday."

"This auction will be held in a blind bidding format. Please write your name, the number of the desired spirit cave, and the price you would like to pay for the right to use it for half a year on a piece of paper. Then seal the envelope and put it in the box next to you."
