Third Planting: Big-Leaf Grass Successfully Refined
Seeing that there was plenty of time, Xu Changqing took out a Communication Talisman from his Small Storage Bag.
"Han Su?"
"Senior Brother Xu!"
"I need to loosen the soil here, when are you free?"
"It's here right now, I'm coming right away!"
Their conversation ended quickly.
"You haven't finished your task for today," an Earth Vein with an Earth Spirit Root couldn't help but remind him.
Han Su shrugged nonchalantly. "I know better than you which is more important."
In his eyes, Xu Changqing, who could provide Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice, was more important than mining.
After all, mining can be done every day.
However, not every Spirit Farmer can grow Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice.
During this period, thanks to the Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice provided by Xu Changqing, and his own hard work, Han Su has advanced from the Middle Qi Refining to the Late Qi Refining.
Several former classmates are still struggling in the middle stage.
After a long while, Han Su appeared on the edge of the field.
Seeing this, Xu Changqing asked, "Why don't you buy a means of transportation?"
Han Su quickly replied, "I've used all the Spirit Stone to exchange for cultivation resources."
It's not that I don't have money.
Earth Spirit Root miners are paid monthly in Spirit Stone.
Therefore, they are not actually in dire straits; they just appear to be struggling financially.
Xu Changqing pondered, "In a few days, I might change my mode of transportation, and I can sell you the old Flying Paper Crane for a discount."
"Change?"
Han Su asked in surprise, "Didn't you just buy those Advanced Paper Crane, Senior Brother?"
Xu Changqing summoned the Flying Paper Crane, showing it to the other person while explaining, "Something happened a while ago, causing some damage. Although it's still usable, I just happened to come across a new mode of transportation."
Han Su examined the item carefully and, seeing that it was indeed somewhat damaged, nodded and asked, "How much does Senior Brother plan to sell it for?"
"I bought it for 70, how about I sell it to you for 30 Low-Grade Spirit Stone?" Xu Changqing replied.
"Okay," Han Su readily agreed.
Earth Spirit Root disciples receive a speed boost when traveling on the ground.
Therefore, he was able to travel back and forth between the Earth Vein and the Spirit Fields.
It's just that it's not as fast as other modes of transportation.
Of course, the deal between the two is not happening now.
We'll have to wait until Xu Changqing phases out the Flying Paper Cranes.
If the Big-Leaf Grass fails to be refined, there's no need to sell it.
Seeing that the other party had rested enough, Xu Changqing said, "Let's start loosening the soil."
Han Su nodded slightly, then immediately took off his shoes and walked onto the ridge of the field.
The Spirit Fields was covered with a layer of ashes from the burning straw.
This is clearly a trace left after the era of Slash-and-Burn Farming.
Although it was the second time he had used it, Xu Changqing was very satisfied.
It has indeed reduced the chances of pests occurring.
From spring to summer, no pests appeared even once.
The Insect-Repelling Array has been installed since then, but it hasn't been used even once.
Bang~
Bang bang~
Han Su kept moving, and the Black Soil turned upside down.
Originally, the ashes left after the straw burned were simply used to cover it.
As the Black Soil is turned over, the two things gradually become indistinguishable.
In addition, it's summer, so it doesn't cause much harm to the Earth Spirit Root.
Therefore, loosening the soil this time is more efficient than in winter.
Han Su finished everything after only two rests.
Xu Changqing gave the other party one hundred catties of Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice produced from Grade-Two Spirit Field, as well as several large Supreme-Grade Watermelon, and reminded him, "According to our previous agreement, you can only get fifty catties of Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice next time."
If we loosen the soil again later, there will be no payment this year.
Han Su said earnestly, "Don't worry, senior brother, I haven't forgotten!"
The two had made an agreement beforehand.
Xu Changqing provided 250 jin of Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice Grade-Two Spirit Field spirit field.
Han Su will loosen the soil for them free of charge this year, and there will be no limit to the number of times.
Xu Changqing only needs to give the other party another fifty catties of Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice to get a free laborer.
The two chatted for a while longer, then Han Su turned and left while eating watermelon.
Xu Changqing was still busy and took out another Communication Talisman.
Whose is it?
Hu Bugui!
Xu Changqing wanted the other party to send over all the Spirit Beast Manure they would need later.
In other words, not only the autumn Spirit Beast Manure, but also those from winter are provided.
Fortunately, this was very simple for Hu Bugui.
He can do without dao companion.
But when it comes to Spirit Beast Manure, it's absolutely plentiful and filling.
Therefore, the next morning, all the needs for the next six months were delivered.
This time, Xu Changqing specifically instructed Hu Bugui to deliver the processed Spirit Beast Manure.
When it comes to farming, fresher isn't always better.
Xu Changqing had seen it in the [Farming Chapter] of the Myriad Records of Spirit Fields.
Fresh Spirit Beast Manure easily deplete the Earth Qi and may even contain insect eggs.
After processing, the risks can be reduced, making it a truly usable fertilizer for farming.
Why did pests appear one after another before?
Just because it uses fresh Spirit Beast Manure!
To be honest, he was actually tricked by Hu Bugui once.
However, Xu Changqing was not angry.
Let bygones be bygones; there's no need to dwell on it.
After all, the two are now best friends.
The soil loosening is now complete.
Prepare the Spirit Beast Manure.
Xu Changqing quickly began planting the seedlings of the Spirit Rice.
He has completely fallen out of touch with the other Spirit Farmer.
Others have to wait for the Spirit Rice to mature before they can harvest it.
Moreover, there are only four opportunities a year.
However, Xu Changqing possesses the Green Lotus Domain, which can accelerate the maturation speed of Spirit Plant.
As long as you don't waste time, there are five harvest opportunities a year.
It seems like I only had one more time than others.
In fact, this is a full 4,000 jin of Supreme-Grade Spirit Rice.
That's equivalent to 3076 Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
That's equivalent to 30 Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.
Time flew by, and it was evening three days later.
Xu Changqing was using the Green Lotus Domain to accelerate the growth of the Spirit Plant in the Spirit Fields when he suddenly received a communication from [Foundry Peak].
"Fellow Daoist Xu, your mode of transportation, the Big-Leaf Grass, is now complete!"
What quality?
"Advanced!"
So, does that mean I made a profit?
I guess so!
"Okay, I'll go get it right away."
"After you arrive at [Foundry Peak], please go to Forging Room A17 to collect your item."
Xu Changqing sensed the spiritual energy in his dantian; there was only one drop left.
It shouldn't be a problem to take the paper crane there; there should be no risk of it crashing.
Then, he instructed Wangwang to take good care of the house, the Spirit Fields, the Spirit Plant, the Pearl Chicken, the house, the food, the water... in short, to watch over everything, before he rode away on the paper crane.
There were no setbacks along the way, and we arrived smoothly.
Unexpectedly, many formal disciple were still fighting on the arena in the evening.
Moreover, it looks even more ferocious than it did in the first few days.
They seem to have gotten carried away while playing.
However, Xu Changqing was not interested in any of these things.
Following the address in the Communication Talisman, he quickly found Forge No. 17.
The door was closed, and faint clanging sounds could be heard coming from inside.
Knock knock knock!
Xu Changqing knocked on the door. "Is anyone home?"
"Who?" A deep voice quickly rang out.
Xu Changqing quickly replied, "I've come to collect the refined Big-Leaf Grass!"
Bang bang bang!
A sound of the ground shaking approached.
Then, with a creak, the previously closed door opened.
But what followed was a wall of flesh appearing before Xu Changqing's eyes.
He couldn't help but swallow, his gaze slowly shifting upwards.
Well-developed limbs.
Muscles built up like bricks.
His full pectoral muscles resembled a temple bell being struck.
A neutral-looking face.
Giant eyes, like copper bells.
His head is taller than a door.
Zhu Tong, an Expert Tier blacksmith standing over two meters tall, grinned, revealing gleaming white teeth, and said, "Here comes, brother!!!"
