Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 145 White Jade Bee

half year later.

Only the last ray of afterglow remained under the setting sun, and the golden red and emerald green were intertwined in the cold pond, rippling out a dreamy color.

Ji An pinched his fingers and released the Thick Earth Returning Origin Curse. A warm yellow spiritual light sprinkled down, and the ground seemed to be paved with a layer of golden tiles.

A breeze blows, and green waves roll in the mulberry fields with emerald leaves.

Ji An stood with his hands behind his back, quietly feeling the faint "joy" released by Ling Sang after the spell was released. He was thinking about the true meaning of the three words "wood overcomes earth".

Trees can take root in the soil, absorb nutrients, break through the ground and grow vigorously. He believes that the growth process of trees is the overcoming and dependence on the soil.

The so-called "wood overcomes earth" should not be a simple restraint or confrontation, but should also include the meaning of mutual restriction and dependence.

The earth-based spiritual light was slowly absorbed by the earth, and the Dharma intention of carrying and receiving was also absorbed into the earth and became imperceptible.

He pinched his fingers to release the Green Wood Transformation Technique, and the sky above the mulberry field seemed like a dangling emerald green galaxy, with flickering light and shadow like a fairyland.

Ji An saw that the light spots in some areas were obviously much denser than other places, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. Could it be?
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and when the spiritual light dissipated, he walked towards the place where the strange phenomenon occurred.

The branches of the mulberry tree in front of me are obviously thicker than those of the surrounding ones, and the leaves are greener. Several yellow flowers as big as wheat ears are half-peeked under the lush leaves.

He released his magical power to sense the inspiration in the mulberry wood, and his face suddenly lit up with joy.

This spiritual mulberry tree has reached the first-grade superior quality, and it subconsciously knows how to absorb more spiritual energy to nourish itself.

I just did a rough count and found that there are about ten places where strange phenomena occur, which means that more than ten first-grade high-quality jade-leaf mulberry trees have been cultivated.

This is just the beginning. More and more first-level spiritual trees will be cultivated in the spiritual field.

The flowering season of the spiritual mulberry has arrived, and it is time to start raising spiritual bees.

"it is good!"

Ji An's hearty laughter startled the birds returning to the forest. The gray-feathered sand geese playing in the water glanced at the laughing man and dived into the pool.

Ji An's fingers turned into afterimages, and the seal changed and released the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique.

The clouds gathered and then dispersed, covering the spiritual field, revealing a golden and red color under the setting sun.

The spiritual rain fell gently, hitting the mulberry leaves, just like fingers plucking the strings of a guitar to play a cheerful song.

He returned to the stone houses and ordered:

"Yuhan, go to Luoyan Mountain tomorrow morning and invite your uncle Jiang Wanrong to come visit us at noon."

Xia Yuhan bowed and said softly:
"Yes."

Ji An nodded slightly, summoned the flying shuttle and began his routine circumnavigation of Chiyan Peak.

He knew in his mind which spiritual field needed rain and which spiritual field needed the fire spell.

Two hours later, Ji An finished his work and returned to Shan Yao's cave. It was almost midnight.

He took out a jade bottle, poured out a Yunzhi Pill and swallowed it, then sat cross-legged on the stone bed and began to practice his skills to dissolve the power of the medicine.

The bright moon shines silently on the two lush red cloud pines at the entrance of the cave.

The next day, noon.

Ji An and Jiang Wanrong sat opposite each other around a stone table, on which were placed two side dishes and a spirit fish.

Xia Yuhan and her two sisters served beside them, diligently filling the wine glasses.

Jiang Wanrong put down the wine glass and said softly:
"I haven't seen you for two months, and I've discovered that the spiritual mulberry trees you've planted are even more lush and flourishing. Congratulations!"

After arriving at Chiyan Peak today, she discovered that her senior brother had only invited her. She couldn't help but feel some strange emotions. Could it be that...
Her heart beat faster and her eyes became gentler.

After meeting several times, she had already found out about her senior brother's situation.

He built his foundation before the age of thirty, and built the third level of foundation in ten years. His cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and his cultivation and temperament were also excellent.

Chiyan Peak is rich in resources, and my senior brother has an extraordinary talent for planting. I believe there will be no shortage of elixirs and spiritual objects needed for cultivation.

If her senior brother is interested in her and they can become a couple, her own path will be much smoother.

Ji An nodded slightly and said with a smile:
“I invited Junior Sister here this time to discuss matters concerning Feiye Sang.

I've noticed that top-grade, first-grade spiritual mulberry trees have begun to appear in the mulberry fields. This will allow me to provide you with a steady supply of high-quality mulberry leaves."

It's time to recover the costs. The other party once expressed the demand for fresh leaves of first-grade high-quality jade-leaf mulberry, and he kept the customer's needs in mind.

Just for mulberry leaves?

Jiang Wanrong felt her face a little stiff, and hurriedly picked up the spiritual tea and took a sip.

She coughed lightly, regained her composure, and said with a forced smile:
"To have cultivated a first-grade, top-grade spiritual mulberry tree so quickly, what a talent! I wonder how many first-grade, top-grade spiritual trees you have now?"

She tried hard to dispel the loss in her heart and pretended to be calm as she smoothed the hair hanging by her ears.

"There are a total of twenty-three plants. In less than a month, the number of high-quality spiritual mulberry trees will surely increase several times."

A smile appeared on Ji An's lips. He had specially checked the experimental field this morning.

If there are hundreds of spiritual mulberry trees, they can support a small group of spiritual silkworms.

He paused, then continued:

"Junior sister, do you still mean what you said about needing fresh mulberry leaves?"

“Of course it counts. My silkworms often have to be fed with mulberry leaves from medium-quality mulberry trees. The quality of the silk is not good enough, so it is difficult to upgrade the grade of the silkworms.

Senior Brother, you've been a great help to me by providing a stable supply of top-grade mulberry leaves. "I've heard that the price of top-grade fresh mulberry leaves within the sect is one spirit stone per hundred kilograms. We'll go with that price. What do you think, Junior Sister?"

The leaves of the jade-leaf mulberry are relatively heavy, and one mulberry tree can produce about four pounds of tender leaves.

If you carefully cultivate the mulberry leaves after picking them, they will grow back in more than half a month.

There are more than 300 mu of jade-leaf mulberry trees planted on Chiyan Peak, and there are 100 mulberry trees on every mu of spiritual field.

Under ideal circumstances, the output of these emerald-leaf mulberries can reach 1,400 spirit stones every half a month.

After deducting the sect's rent and the cost of hiring disciples to pick the fruits, there will be a surplus of about eight or nine hundred spirit stones.

You can sell fresh young mulberry leaves for about half a year every year, which means you have 10,000 spirit stones in hand.

Of course, this is just a fantasy. It is unknown how many years it will take to cultivate all these mulberry trees to the best quality, and there will also be various reasons that cause a reduction in production.

However, if the honey produced by the spirit bees is included, the net income per year can be about 10,000 spirit stones.

If the income of the entire Chiyan Peak is calculated, he feels that his income should be among the top among the many Foundation Establishment disciples.

"Okay, let's sign the agreement now."

Jiang Wanrong said that the price in the sect was this, but many times it was not possible to buy enough high-quality mulberry leaves.

The agreement signed by the two left their respective magical marks.

After the business was over, Ji An was very satisfied and raised his glass:

"Junior sister, drink this cup again."

"Brother, I feel like I can't handle the alcohol today. I can't drink anymore."

Jiang Wanrong felt somewhat bored and shook her head slightly.

Cuizhu Peak.

When Ji An walked into the Beast Taming Hall, he was immediately greeted by a female disciple wearing a light green silk dress.

"Uncle Master, what do you need?"

"I want to buy some bees to collect nectar from the mulberry flowers. Do you have any recommended species?"

"White Jade Bees are very suitable for collecting mulberry nectar. May I ask approximately how many acres of spiritual fields you have so I can calculate how many spiritual bees you'll need?"

"About 350 mu, but the mulberry trees were just planted this year. I only discovered some of them blooming in the past few days. There aren't many mulberry trees left that can be used to harvest honey right now, so let's calculate it based on 50 mu."

Ji An estimated that this year only the mulberry trees in the experimental field near the cold pond would bloom. It would be a waste to buy too many honeybees now, as they would have to be kept when there were no flowers to collect nectar from.

The disciple smiled and said:

“Based on Master-Uncle’s condition, it’s too early to purchase the White Jade Bee Colony.

How about this, I will give my uncle a queen bee and two hundred white jade bees.

When the nectar source is large enough, the queen bee will accelerate the laying of eggs to give birth to new bees."

"I'll do as you say. In addition, I'll buy some secret methods for raising spirit bees, as well as enough food to sustain the bee colony for half a year."

Others are professionals, so Ji An will of course follow their advice.

"Master, there happens to be a queen bee in the pupa stage in the hall right now, and we can take her away today.

Please sit here and wait for a moment. I will go to the breeding room to get the bee pupae."

The female disciple smiled sweetly, led Ji An to his seat, and then left quickly.

Soon, she took out a pupa that was as thick as a thumb and had a crystal jade color.

"Uncle Master, please enter the blood contract."

Ji An used the object control technique to capture the bee pupa in his hand, forcing out its essence and blood with ease, and then used a magic formula to create a blood contract.

The blood contract has a special connection with the cultivator's soul. The same spell will produce slightly different patterns for each person.

The jade-colored bee pupa was soon dyed blood red, becoming brighter and brighter.

Suddenly, the blood color on the surface of the pupa quickly dimmed, and then a fat queen bee emerged from it. Its body was as white as jade, and its internal organs could be faintly seen.

The female disciple opened a round white jade box, handed it out and said:
"Master, the queen bee is still very weak when it is first born. Please apply this special honey on your finger. A bean-sized ball of honey will do."

Ji An picked up the jade spoon in the box, scooped out a ball of honey and smeared it on the tip of his index finger, then placed his hand in front of the queen bee.

The queen bee immediately climbed onto his hand and quickly swallowed the honey.

The female disciple took out a jade slip and a porcelain jar from her storage bag and said:
"Uncle Master, the porcelain jar contains prepared food for spirit bees, made from various pollens, and the jade slip contains the secret method of beekeeping."

She took out a beehive from the spirit beast bag, which was filled with densely packed eggs.

"Here are 110 eggs that will hatch soon. Because there may be dead eggs, I'm giving you 10 extra.

All things added up, a total of 2,000 contribution points."

Ji An took out the jade token, paid the contribution points, and drove the shuttle back to Chiyan Peak.

He handed the breeding jade slip and the bee colony to Xia Yuhan and said:
"You two sisters should learn how to raise spirit bees. I will pay you five more spirit stones every month.

In addition, I will give extra rewards based on the amount of honey you brew."

As long as he controls the queen bee, he will control the bee colony, and leave the beekeeping work to others.
