Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 50 The biggest advantage
Chapter 50:

It might be to save costs.

Or perhaps for other reasons, the array plate given to him by this senior brother from Hundred Array Peak was not a new array plate.

It was an old array plate.

Therefore, the entry also includes the term.

[Equipment Name]: Spirit Plant Array Plate
[Equipment Quality]: Green
[Equipment Effects]: Initial Understanding of Formations (You have gained a basic understanding of formations.) Formation Control (Formations controlled by you suffer less damage and have increased power.)
Look at the inscriptions on this array plate.

Zhang Yan was deeply moved. This senior brother was incredibly generous. He had only asked for a formation, yet the other party had even given him the ability to eat.

"What, junior brother? You don't like this array plate?"

I only brought one array plate with me today. If you think it's a bit old, I can go back and get you a new one.

The senior brother felt a little uneasy under Zhang Yan's gaze and couldn't help but ask cautiously.

"No, no need."

I love secondhand items!

Upon hearing his senior brother say that he would replace it with a new one, Zhang Yan's happy expression instantly changed. How could they replace it?

He quickly and firmly refused.

……

Are you kidding? Once you've got the entry, you think you can just let it fly away?
"Alright, as long as junior brother is satisfied." At this moment, the senior brother felt that Zhang Yan seemed to be seriously ill. "The way you looked at me before, I thought you were not satisfied!"
Besides, what kind of decent person would like secondhand goods?
"I'm never going to set up formations for him again."

After thinking it over, the senior student turned around and left.

Zhang Yan was naturally unaware of his senior's thoughts.

At this moment, he was immersed in the joy of the array compass and the spirit plant garden.

Although he knew nothing about formations before, from now on he can confidently say that he, Zhang, has achieved some success in formations.

Ok.

The practice of hanging on the wall is so simple, so unadorned.

……

And then there's this plant garden.

“After activating the array in such a large spiritual plant garden, it will consume a lot of spirit stones every day, so we should avoid activating the array unless it is absolutely necessary.”

The operation of a formation naturally requires spiritual energy.

Spiritual energy doesn't come out of nowhere; it can only be replenished by spiritual stones.

Of course, if there is a spiritual vein, you can also extract the spiritual energy from it.

pity.

This Qingheng Sect ultimately does not belong to him. The third-tier spiritual vein of the Qingheng Sect is the foundation of the sect. It must not only be allocated to a few Golden Core cultivators, but also be responsible for the operation of the sect's protective array. Ordinary cultivators are strictly prohibited from extracting spiritual energy from the spiritual vein, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

Zhang Yan had no need to provoke this bad luck.

He was currently planning what kind of spiritual herbs he would plant himself, having previously asked Elder Liu to collect some of their seeds.

Most of these medicinal herb seeds are first-tier medicinal herb seeds, with a majority being mid-grade first-tier medicinal herbs and fewer being high-grade ones.

There are almost no low-grade elixirs.

There are specific considerations when selecting the grade of medicinal herbs to plant in the Spirit Plant Garden.

First of all, the rank cannot be too high.

Although higher-grade herbs are more expensive, generally speaking, higher-grade herbs require a longer growth period.

Zhang Yan's cultivation level was too low; he was only at the early stage of Qi Refining, his lifespan was short, and he was in the prime of his life.

Therefore, he needs a large number of spirit stones, so only those spirit herbs of slightly lower grade can meet his requirements.

But if it's too low, that won't work either, because it would completely waste the advantages of a top-grade spirit field, and the price would be too low.

The balance he found was a variety of first-grade mid-level spiritual herbs, and a small number of first-grade high-level spiritual herbs.

Because it is a top-grade spirit field, planting mid-grade first-tier spirit herbs can yield one harvest per year.

This way, he can quickly recoup his investment and continue planting. First-grade high-quality spiritual herbs generally mature in about three years.

Each time it matures, it will bring him enormous profits.

"Let me see the seeds you chose."

Elder Liu prepared a lot of seeds as agreed, but Zhang Yan frowned after just one glance.

Although these medicinal herb seeds were of high quality, they were not very valuable, so he looked down on them.

I thought about it.

He still decided to go to Muling Peak.

If you're ever in doubt, consult your master!

If you have such a long and beautiful thigh to cling to, wouldn't that be a waste of such a good resource?

Anyway, he had to attend Zhuge Wan's class every day.

So the next day, I brought it up directly.

"You want to maximize the benefits of a top-grade spirit field?" Zhuge Wan asked with a smile, looking at her little apprentice.

Although Zhang Yan had the lowest cultivation level, poor spiritual root, and no family background.

But Zhuge Wan simply liked this disciple.

If you absolutely have to ask why, then Zhuge Wan can only say, this child is like me!
This is no joke.

It really does look like it!
And most importantly, Zhang Yan is very intelligent.

She only needed to say something once for Zhang Yan to immediately understand its meaning.

Even when encountering problems while learning about spiritual plants, their thought processes were exactly the same as hers!
Therefore, in Zhuge Wan's heart, Zhang Yan was not only her apprentice, but also her confidant!
Therefore, when Zhang Yan raised his question, Zhuge Wan answered it very carefully.

"Your idea is correct. What you need now is to quickly acquire spirit stones and then use these spirit stones to exchange for resources to improve your cultivation."

"But you have a major advantage that you've forgotten to use." Zhuge Xiao first affirmed Zhang Yan's idea before offering his suggestion.

"The biggest advantage?"

Zhang Yan was somewhat puzzled.

Although he's handsome and has special abilities, none of that matters.

"Please enlighten me, Master."

Since he couldn't figure it out, he decided to stop thinking about it and wait for Zhuge Wan's reply.

"Your greatest asset is my apprentice!"

Zhuge Wan looked at her little apprentice. Although he was a genius in the field of spiritual plants, he was still somewhat lacking in interpersonal skills.

Or perhaps the other party simply doesn't understand the immense advantage a Golden Core stage master possesses.

“You can sign agreements with sects or even families outside.”

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Zhuge Wan's words, Zhang Yan's eyes widened instantly.

How could he forget about that!

He is Zhuge Wan's disciple, and with Zhuge Wan supporting him, both sects and cultivation families have a high degree of trust in him.

This means that he can take on some suitable tasks. For example, if the sect needs Lingxi Flower for the next ten years, he can directly sign a spirit contract with the sect, and the sect will pay him a portion of the money first, and then give him the rest after he completes the delivery.

Even if Zhang Yan were a little more ruthless.

They can also advance the money for the next ten years. With Zhuge Wan as their powerful backer, they can easily advance seven or eight years' worth of money!

For some reason, Zhang Yan felt a sense of déjà vu about this operation...
