"It's impossible to work part-time... Actually, farming is not bad either!"
Zhou Yi has already made a plan in his mind. He will farm for a few years and get familiar with the market before making other plans.
It doesn't matter if you're new here and you don't have any background. There's no need to make the first rafters just for some temporary convenience. If you violate any taboos or unspoken rules, you will cause resentment and trouble for nothing.
"The world of spiritual practice is extremely dangerous and far less safe than the ordinary world. You must walk on thin ice and be cautious in everything you do!"
"Go and get cave abode first, and you can also have Spirit Rain Technique for free while farming."
Zhou Yi has been practicing for decades, and can only do simple Mana condensation. He has long been envious of the immortal magic.
The buildings in Little Dan Mountain fang City are exactly the same, except that there is a six-story building in the center, with a plaque of the Dan Ding Sect hanging at the door. The monks entering and exiting are all cautious.
This is the official office of Little Dan Mountain!
First floor.
Zhou Yi came to one of the counters and said respectfully with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist, Rogue Cultivator is registering your name here?"
"New here?"
The young Daoist was wearing a sky-blue robe with a golden tripod mark on his chest. Without raising his eyelids after hearing this, he took out a Jade Slip: "Write down your name, age, origin, and skills."
Zhou Yi placed Jade Slip on his forehead, and Mana ran, remembering what he had prepared long ago.
——Zhu Gang, fifty-two years old, Xuzhou Rogue Cultivator, no skills.
Dan Ding Sect does not strictly manage Rogue Cultivator, and the name registration is not to find out the details, but to facilitate subsequent management.
The Daoist checked the Jade Slip information and found nothing special. He took out a palm-sized bronze token, engraved the words "Zhu Gang" on the surface, and then handed the token over.
"Be careful not to lose it and get a replacement Spirit Stones."
Zhou Yi took it with both hands and said with a smile, "I understand, you are in trouble."
The bronze token is equivalent to Zhou Yi's ID in Fangshi. It contains the special inscription Dan Ding Sect, which is difficult for ordinary people to imitate. Theoretically, if it is lost and broken, you can replace it for free, but it is just troublesome for Daoist people to do things, and you need one Spirit Stones as hard work.
The Daoist was quite satisfied with Zhou Yi's respect and asked casually, "Do you want to farm or mine?"
Zhou Yi said, "Farming."
The Daoist casually reminded, "Well, go to the second floor to find Senior Brother Liu. He has a kind temperament. You can ask more questions."
"Thank you very much!"
Zhou Yi bowed his head to express his thanks. Perhaps what the Daoist said was just a trivial matter, but it was very useful guidance for Rogue Cultivator who was new to the market.
As for face, in Zhou Yi's opinion, it has always been an accessory to strength and ability.
It will happen naturally when it should happen, no need to force it, no need to care!
Second floor.
It was quite lively, with about thirty or forty monks whispering in low voices.
Little Dan Mountain There is no rule against making noise, but no matter outside on the street or in shops or offices, monks speak to each other or lower their voices.
Zhou Yi inquired about Senior Brother Liu's location, went straight to the counter, and handed over his identity card.
"Senior Brother Liu, I am the new Rogue Cultivator, come to collect cave abode and Spirit Field."
Senior Brother Liu looks like he is seventy or eighty years old. He already looks older among the monks. He has a kind smile on his face, "Have you ever practiced Spirit Rain Technique or planted spirit medicine before?"
Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "No."
"Then we can only plant spiritual rice."
Senior Brother Liu took out a map and pointed to the green area above. "Choose a place at will. Spirit Field needs to pay six dou of rent per acre."
The area for planting spiritual rice is basically around Little Dan Mountain, and the Spirit Field that is closest to the central Mount Qiyun is used to plant spirit medicine.
Zhou Yi asked respectfully, "May I ask, senior, how much influence does Spirit Rain Technique and planting experience have on the yield of spiritual rice?"
"The difference can be as much as 50% to 60%."
Senior Brother Liu said quite proudly, "Pindao grew spiritual rice back then and practiced Spirit Rain Technique intensively for more than ten years. One acre of land can yield two or three more bushels."
Spiritual rice is different from ordinary rice and wheat. If you plant one plant ten feet away, the average harvest from an acre of spiritual field is about one stone. Senior Brother Liu's harvest of two or three bushels more is already very impressive.
Zhou Yi carefully checked the Lingmi area and chose a place to the east.
Little Dan Mountain To the east is the endless sea. If something unexpected happens, you can save your life by escaping and diving to the bottom of the sea.
"Let's rent three acres first."
"Okay."
Senior Brother Liu entered the Spirit Field information into the identity token and asked, "Which one should cave abode choose?"
"Inferior!"
Zhou Yi answered without hesitation, the inferior cave abode is worth three thousand Spirit Stones, and its location is almost in the Lingmi area.
The place I live is close to Spirit Field, so I don't have to travel much to get to the city. It's definitely not because I can't afford the high-quality cave abode!
"Just in time, No. 306 cave abode is vacant, and we need to pay back thirty Spirit Stones every year."
Senior Brother Liu entered the cave abode information, handed the identity token, the spell Jade Slip, and a pack of spiritual rice seeds to Zhou Yi, and warned, "Remember not to be lazy. Many people have overdue rents or loans, so they can only go mining to pay off their debts."
"Thank you, senior brother."
Zhou Yi checked the token and Jade Slip, and said shyly, "Senior brother, this is my first time practicing Spirit Rain Technique. Please give me some advice. I will collect the spiritual rice in the coming year to honor you even more."
"Interesting! I haven't seen such a thick-skinned person in a few years."
Senior Brother Liu took out another Jade Slip and said with a smile, "This is some practice experience of the poor Daoist. There is no need for you to be more filial. When you have more money, please invite me to the Phoenix Cry Pavilion for a drink."
"Definitely! Definitely!"
Zhou Yi suppressed the joy in his heart and bowed to express his thanks.
Leave the office.
Following the map in the identity token, bypassing the central area, and flying for more than an hour, I finally found No. 306 cave abode.
It is a single-family house, and the entrance is a small courtyard with a radius of two feet.
There are three main rooms and east and west wing rooms. The layout is similar to the Shenjing courtyard. The difference is that the other cave abode are separated by dozens of feet and pay more attention to the privacy of practice.
Zhou Yi deliberately went around and took a look, and found that all the residents on the left and right were empty and uninhabited.
"Little Dan Mountain Fang City is about a hundred miles east and west. There are more people in the trading area, and there are fewer people in other areas. This is the best for me, as it saves people from noticing anything strange."
"Let's straighten cave abode first, then go to the fields to take a look tomorrow."
Zhou Yi used Dust-Cleansing Talisman to clean several rooms.
As a rule, the master bedroom is not used for practicing. It is equipped with several mechanisms and does not cause much harm to the practitioners. It is enough to provide early warning.
At night.
Zhou Yi sat cross-legged in the west wing and began his first practice in Fangshi.
When Origin Returning Art operates, spiritual energy about three or four times that of the outside world swarms in, circulates and refines in the meridians, and becomes Mana, which is stored in Dantian.
The unprecedented efficiency of practice made Zhou Yi's already calm mood slightly ripple.
"At such a speed, breaking through the fourth level of Qi Refining is faster than the third level!"
"This is just the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If combined with spiritual rice and elixirs, it will take off... No, I still have to pay rent and pay off debts!"
Zhou Yi Thinking of this, the good mood suddenly fell silent.
The next day.
Zhou Yi went to check Spirit Field. It was a rectangle ten feet wide and more than ten feet long, quite regular.
After eradicating weeds and renovating the land, Zhou Yi was not in a hurry to plant spiritual rice, but instead got close to the monks nearby.
I flattered him a bit, said a few nice words, and got a lot of tips on growing spiritual rice.
It's not a unique secret, but a common secret that all the old people in the city know. Even if no one tells them, they can figure it out after a few years of self-cultivation.
One month later.
Zhou Yi has been transformed into Spirit Rain Technique. After being used, it can rain spiritual rain in a radius of three feet.
This is the most basic method. Turning Mana into spiritual rain to nourish Spirit Field can increase the production of spiritual rice.
"Start farming!"
Zhou Yi carried a hoe and planted a grain of spiritual rice three feet apart.
This is one of the little tips. The germination rate of Lingmi is about 60%, and the seedling rate is 50%. In total, three seeds can make one seedling.
Of course, after the seedlings mature, they will inevitably become sparse. This requires monks to thin out the seedlings and move them around.
One year has passed in the blink of an eye.
From three acres Spirit Field, we harvested two stones and four buckets, paid a rent of one stone and eight buckets, and were left with six buckets of spiritual rice.
Zhou Yi sold Lingmi directly to the Dan Ding Sect and made thirty Spirit Stones. Then cave abode's account period came.
"Working together for a year for nothing?"
