Three days later.
Qian True Person and several disciples were walking on Rainbow Bridge, heading towards Medicine Garden.
"Have you read the books True Person gave me?"
Qian True Person seemed to have remembered something and asked several disciples.
Several disciples looked at each other and seemed a little guilty.
"Look!"
"What do you think?"
Qian True Person continued to ask.
"..."
The disciples looked at each other and looked at each other... all of them seemed to be urging each other to speak.
"What? You don't have any experience at all?"
"..."
"Why did I accept you stupid disciples!"
"..."
"How will you teach others in the future?"
"..."
One of the youngest and most favored disciples spoke up, "Master, the genes and heredity mentioned in the book are all things that we have never heard of... I really can't understand it, disciples!"
"Why don't you teach us, Master?"
"..."
Qian True Person's face slowly stiffened.
The disciple looked at him, his face gradually becoming a little confused.
"Master, you..."
"..."
"Let me tell you, it doesn't matter if we don't read those books... We have been cultivating spiritual fields all our lives, but we can't understand those books. Who knows if that's right?"
A disciple suddenly said, his tone a bit angry.
"Shut up!"
"Master... when did those Nine Mountains Sect disciples ever regard us as their own?"
The disciple continued.
Qian True Person opened his mouth and looked at the other disciples, seeing that their faces were a little bit unhappy.
He shook his head.
I understand in my heart that they are the later generations after all. Although the disciples of the Nine Mountains Sect do not reject them, they rarely interact with them.
After joining Nine Mountains Realm, their master and disciples are also their own sect, and there is a subtle gap between them and the other disciples of the Nine Mountains Sect...
"At least Zheng True Person treats us as his own..."
"Isn't that because our Secret Method... wants us to teach those in the Nine Mountains Sect what we learned in the Thousand Grain Sect..."
The disciple said again.
"..."
"Master, what if the things we know are learned by the Nine Mountains Sect, and they turn against us and drive us away in the future? Why don't we... save a hand?"
Qian True Person was speechless, but his face was slightly tangled.
"Qian True Person, did you understand the previous book?"
Zheng Fa asked Qian True Person as soon as he saw it.
Nowadays, Nine Mountains Realm is full of waste, and agriculture is the most basic industry. Zheng Fa also attaches great importance to Qian True Person and them.
Qian True Person Behind him, the eyes of several disciples were flying, and they finally understood why their master cared so much about their studies...
"Understood..."
"Really?"
Zheng Fa looked at his face and said suddenly.
"..."
Qian True Person looked confused and whispered, "Ashamed..."
"Why should you be ashamed?" Zheng Fa unexpectedly said, "Qian True Person, if you know everything, why do you still need to read?"
"... Huh?"
"If you don't understand something, ask me. If I don't understand something, ask someone else... It's such a simple thing. How can you feel ashamed?"
Zheng Fa said these words and looked at the disciples behind him.
He thought about it and felt that these were agricultural teachers in the future and related to education.
Just say a little more.
"Everyone, when you become teachers in the future and teach your disciples, please remember that learning is always a process from not understanding to understanding."
"If students don't understand something, your existence is meaningful."
"Don't ever dampen the disciples' thirst for knowledge."
The disciples of Qian True Person were silent for a moment, and glanced at Qian True Person who looked stunned, knowing that their master had also thought of what he had said before.
Their expressions were different, but they all replied "Yes..."
Zheng Fa Not much to say, education itself is also an important subject, and he is no more than a layman.
He led these people towards Medicine Garden.
Senior Sister Zhang is waiting in Medicine Garden with Senior Sister Yuan.
"Senior Sister Zhang?"
"It's planted."
Zheng Fa looks towards Medicine Garden.
Medicine Garden A corner has been planted with various rice seeds Zheng Fa collected from the common people.
These rice species have hardly been domesticated.
From the taste to the output, it is far from meeting the standards of staple food.
The goal of Zheng Fa this time is to use these rice seeds to cultivate rice seeds suitable for the Nine Mountains Realm.
He glanced at Sun-Moon Bell and took out his Golden Seal.
The Heavenly Merit points accumulated in the past few days in Golden Seal - or Incense Power, poured into Sun-Moon Bell.
Sun-Moon Bell got the nutrients and flew into the air. Time passed quickly in the area where rice seeds were planted.
These rice seeds are not Spirit Plant, and very little Incense Power is consumed.
Even the points of Heavenly Merit points have not changed.
Those rice plants quickly grew inconspicuous and densely packed rice flowers.
"Sister!"
Zheng Fa suddenly shouted.
Senior Sister Zhang was already prepared, Life-bound Dharma Treasure Feixian appeared in front of his chest, turned into thousands in the blink of an eye, and fell into the rice field.
The pen tips of these Flying Immortal Brush were placed on the stamens of each rice plant. After collecting the pollen, they were placed on the pistils of another rice plant.
Zheng Fa nodded.
The sun and moon on Sun-Moon Bell began to rotate again.
Suddenly, a year passed in the rice fields.
When the rice in the field matures, Senior Sister Zhang collects the rice seeds from these rice and plants them in the field.
Among Medicine Garden, Qian True Person, these people's expressions were a bit astonished.
It seems that Zheng Fa understands what they are doing.
This breeding experiment is actually no different from modern times.
First, various collected wild rice species are used as parents, and they are crossed with each other to cultivate the first generation of offspring.
Starting from the first generation of offspring, we begin to select offspring with full rice seeds and greater yields, and then carry out self-crossing, backcrossing and selection from generation to generation.
Until we find the most stable and most suitable rice seed for the Nine Mountains Realm planting.
There is no difference in principle compared to modern times.
But with Sun-Moon Bell, it is much more convenient.
You know, it may take decades to cultivate a new rice seed in modern times.
But at this time, Zheng Fa only used a dozen Heavenly Merit points to complete this breeding.
There is only one kind of rice left in the rice fields.
The ears of rice are so heavy that they even bend the stems and leaves of the rice.
Qian True Person looked at this scene blankly and rubbed his eyes.
He glanced at Zheng Fa and seemed to be unable to help but walk towards the rice field.
Zheng Fa did not stop him. In addition to breeding, this time was also an education for Qian True Person and others - at least let them understand the value of those agricultural books.
"This..." Qian True Person pinched the plump rice, as if to determine whether this scenery was real.
You know, he really checked Thousand Grain Sect's classics on breeding.
Monks live a long life and often see the birth of new species - but few people have thought about the most essential principle.
So Qian True Person understands the meaning better - a stable method of cultivating new species, which was out of reach for the previous Thousand Grain Sect Secret Method!
Even what Zheng Fa did is almost unprecedented in the Xuanwei Realm...
The most important thing is...
"That simple?"
Thinking of the operations of Zheng Fa and Zhang Wuyi just now, he seemed to understand, but he was a little unbelievable.
"Qian True Person, if you understand those books, some things will not be difficult."
Zheng Fa said softly.
"How many books are there?"
Qian True Person was startled and looked into Zheng Fa's eyes.
Zheng Fa said with a smile, "Of course, this is just the simplest application of the knowledge in the book... If we study it in depth, we will naturally be able to do more."
Breeding this kind of rice is really very basic.
Zheng Fa's next goal is to breed Spirit Grain that is suitable for the Nine Mountains Realm...
"More..."
Qian True Person repeated blankly.
On the way back, Qian True Person didn't speak for a while.
As if thinking about something.
All the disciples were also silent.
Finally, Qian True Person spoke, "If any of you want to leave Nine Mountains Realm, tell me and I will go and ask Zheng True Person."
"... Master?"
"But if you stay in the Nine Mountains Realm, you don't have to talk about insiders and outsiders anymore, and you can't try to keep a hand." Qian True Person looked at several disciples and said, "As Zheng True Person said, today is just a small test of the knowledge in the book."
"Ask yourselves, would anyone in the Thousand Grain Sect teach you this method so easily?"
"..."
"In front of this kind of dharma, who am I, and who are you? Even Thousand Grain Sect, who is it?" Qian True Person said in a more serious tone, "I know that you have also suffered some grievances. If you have any grievances, tell me, and I will tell Zheng True Person."
The disciple who proposed to keep a hand before said, "Master..."
"I'm not forcing you..." Qian True Person saw the uneasy expressions on the faces of his disciples and said again, "Zheng True Person asked us to teach agriculture to his disciples. After all, the agricultural knowledge he gave us was much more profound than Thousand Grain Sect's."
"Is this Secret Method who is greedy for us?"
"..."
"This is an opportunity for us! If we become the teachers of those disciples, will we still be treated as outsiders?"
"If you want to stay, stop hiding your secrets..."
Qian True Person saw that they seemed to understand, and then nodded and said, "Go back and read more of those books. If you don't understand, come to me. If I don't understand, ask Zheng True Person..."
Seeing your master say this, all disciples should do the same.
They walked out of Qian True Person's residence and whispered to Dao Discussion:
"This... why do I feel like our master has changed?"
"That's right, Master used to be so careless in his whole body. Why is he so selfless now? It's not like him anymore."
"..." said a female disciple, "I think Master looks more like Zheng True Person now."
When everyone heard this, they recalled it one after another and couldn't help but nod.
Looking at the rice fields in front of them, Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang also had some smiles on their faces.
"Sect Leader sent a letter saying that there are as many as three hundred thousand mortals who are planning to move into the Nine Mountains Realm..." Senior Sister Zhang said, "I was worried about how to support these people before."
"Three hundred thousand, that's not much." Zheng Fa thought for a while and said, "Based on the population under the Nine Mountains Sect's previous rule, the number of mortals willing to join Nine Mountains Realm is probably less than one percent..."
Nine Mountains Realm has a large jurisdiction.
And Xuanwei Realm Although agriculture is relatively backward, because of the existence of Spiritual Qi, grain output is not very low.
The population that Nine Mountains Sect ruled before was about 20 to 30 million...
The total population of the Nine Mountains Realm today is equivalent to that of ordinary people.
That said, there are really very few people who are willing to migrate with the Nine Mountains Sect--
This is actually not beyond Zheng Fa's expectation. After all, Nine Mountains Sect doesn't have any good politics...
In addition to the bad reputation of Great Freedom Demon Cult, it has only been circulated among the Immortal Sect:
Zheng Fa had never even heard of this name before joining Immortal Sect.
The agricultural society is relocating...
According to Zheng Fa's estimate, among these 300,000 people, I am afraid they are all people related to the Nine Mountains Sect's disciples of all generations.
"Junior brother, I'm afraid you only care about two people..."
Senior Sister Zhang said suddenly.
Zheng Fa laughed, with an expression of great anticipation - her mother and sister were coming.
