Chapter 217 Clues

Ye Changqing sipped the spiritual tea leisurely. The Cloudtop Silver Hair was paired with the Jade Dew Golden Buds. The tea soup was golden in color and had a unique taste with a long aftertaste.

His eyes sparkled and he was in a good mood.

Not far away, a large turtle with a blue shell glanced at him from time to time.

Ji An finished his training and returned to the cold pond:

"Brother, did you sleep well last night?"

"Haha, I haven't slept in for years."

Ye Changqing smiled and said that as he got older, he needed less and less sleep.

It was already difficult for him to get drunk with first-level spirit wine, and he had never drunk second-level spirit wine so happily.

There are fewer and fewer good times like this, so enjoy life to the fullest.

He raised the pale blue teacup and said:
"Fragrant tea and strong wine, the things from Red Flame Peak are always unique.

Jade Dew and Golden Teeth, what a wonderful thing. "

The Youyue Cangyu Tree is extremely rare, and its ability to nourish the soul is even rarer.

A few years ago, a disciple handed in the seeds of the Youyue Cangyu tree in the Mingfeng Mountain Fairy City. As soon as they were transported back to the Qinong Hall, they were exchanged for by Senior Brother Lin Mao. Unexpectedly, a tree was also planted here.

This junior brother seems to like to stay still, but he has quite a network of contacts.

Ji An smiled and said:
"The only drawback is that the tea tree is only of the first-grade, top-grade quality. It has little use for cultivators like us who are in the middle or late stages of foundation building. It can only add some flavor to the tea."

After he sat down, the maids brought him lunch.

"Yuhan, go get a jar of Jade Dew and Golden Buds."

After Ji An instructed the maid, he turned around and said:

"As the tea trees age, they will produce more and more tea. Every year I will give some to my senior brother."

In the past, the leaves of the Youyue Cangyu tree were scarce, and he was reluctant to pick them.

Ye Changqing smiled and said:
"I'll come here more often in the future. Who knows what good things I might find."

The longer two people know each other, the deeper their relationship becomes, and there is no need for more polite words.

"You're welcome to come often."

The two chatted while having lunch, and Ye Changqing said:

"Time is peaceful within the sect, but the Mingfeng Mountain Immortal City is already showing signs of a demonic disaster.

According to investigation, small groups of monsters were driven out by high-level monsters one after another and migrated out from deeper parts of the mountains.

These demonic beasts have gathered in a vast valley over 2,000 miles west of Mingfeng Mountain. It seems that a demonic disaster will erupt in a few years."

Ye Changqing sighed in his heart, what is coming will eventually come.

I don’t know how much strength Xizhou can retain after this demon disaster, and how much strength the sect can retain.

"there is always a solution to a problem.

The three sects have been preparing for the outbreak of the demon disaster for hundreds of years, and the overall strength of Xizhou is much stronger than the last time the demon disaster broke out.

Plus, the Zhongzhou sect will send monks to help, so we should be able to overcome this crisis more easily."

Ji An said that the main reason for the outbreak of the demon disaster was that the demon beasts had too strong fertility and the land could not support the growth of so many demon beasts.

At this time, different groups of monsters will either fight each other, or find an outlet to vent their anger and resolve the conflict.

The intelligence of high-level monsters has greatly increased, and the monster kings of various monster tribes have united to drive out low-level monsters and attack human forces.

In this way, the number of beasts can be reduced, and more living space can be gained for the monsters, thus counterattacking the advance of human cultivators.

The flesh and blood of cultivators are a great tonic for monsters, and they can also be used to feed monsters through fighting, so more powerful monsters will be born in the tribe.

Ye Changqing was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Junior brother, what do you think of the atmosphere in the sect?"

"It's pretty good. We all have a common goal, and there's no fighting."

Ye Changqing stroked his forehead with his hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:

"I asked the wrong person. You have ample resources for cultivation and don't go out often, so you haven't encountered many intrigues.

There are many open and secret struggles for cultivation resources, but fortunately, with the ancestors in control, everything is still under control.

The world is not that beautiful, and the monks in Central China are not that trustworthy.

Some Zhongzhou sects only want us to be walls and obedient dogs to resist the impact of demonic disasters, and do not want the Western Continent cultivators to become too powerful."

He didn't go into the dark places, but where there are people there is conflict, that's just the nature of it.

Monks are also human beings and have desires. Low-level monks do not need to cultivate their minds. Apart from their longer lifespan, they are essentially no different from ordinary people.

The Red Flame Peak has been coveted by others, and some cultivators want to use their connections to recruit Junior Brother Ji to join the Law Enforcement Hall to fight on the front line against the monsters.

The purpose of doing this is self-evident.

The situation was not yet critical enough to require the spiritual farmers to be forced to go to the battlefield, not to mention that the target was a high-level spiritual farmer who could play a huge role. The conscription order was rejected by the Work Hall.

Ji An was silent. His path of cultivation after traveling through time had indeed been smooth sailing, and he had not experienced many dangers in the world.

If you think about it carefully, there is not much difference between human cultivators and monsters.

If there are too many monks, the spirit vein nodes will not be able to support so many monks to absorb and release spiritual energy.

Now that we have embarked on the path of cultivation, which cultivator would not want to make progress?
However, resources are limited and inevitably unevenly distributed, requiring struggle and competition to maintain cultivation. The good news is that high-level cultivators understand sustainable development better and will proactively control the number of cultivators.

The Meridian Opening Pill is the first hurdle. As long as the supply of this pill is reduced, the number of cultivators will immediately drop a lot.

The same is true for spiritual farming. A spiritual field can only plant one hundred spiritual trees. If one hundred and fifty are planted, the spiritual veins will be over-consumed and eventually dried up.

In order for the spiritual field to produce for a long time, the number of spiritual plants must be controlled.

Ye Changqing smiled and raised his glass:
"Why are we talking about these spoilers? Come on, drink!

Junior brother, just do your best to improve your cultivation. The higher your cultivation, the less likely you are to encounter troubles."

"drink wine."

Ji An smiled and said that when a person is powerful, the whole world will be kind to him. He understood this truth in his previous life.

Half a month passed.

Li Minghui drove the shuttle to Chiyan Peak. She looked down at the shining second-level spiritual plants in the spiritual field and the blooming peach blossoms. The smile on her lips became more and more uncontrollable.

The shuttle slowly landed in the cold pond, and she was the first to speak:

"If the sect's spiritual farmers all had the ability of my junior brother, Luofeng Valley would also be trampled under our feet."

The reason why the alchemists in Luofeng Valley have an endless supply of spiritual medicines to refine is because they have a strong team of spiritual farmers.

Relatively speaking, spiritual farmers are the sect's weak link, limiting the growth of the Beast Taming Hall.

Junior Brother Ji has been stationed at Chiyan Peak for over twenty years and has cultivated seventy or eighty second-level spiritual plants. No other cultivator in the sect can match such an achievement.

We don’t expect many more, but if five or six more spiritual farmers of this level appear, the sect’s foundation will be rapidly enhanced.

Think about it, if there were 500 more second-level spiritual trees, the sect’s annual output of second-level low-grade resources would increase by almost 20%.

By cultivating a second-grade medium-quality spiritual wood over time, it will be able to provide assistance to the Chaoyuan period cultivators.

"I feel embarrassed by your praise, Senior Sister. I just prefer a simple pace of life, and tending to the spiritual fields is simple enough."

Ji An smiled and said that he had the ability to obtain resources through planting, and considering the characteristics of the stone turtle, of course he would choose a piece of land to live in.

He led the other party to the living room and the guest of honor sat down.

After a few pleasantries, Li Minghui got straight to the point:

"Junior brother, my master has already asked someone to refine the elixir, and the plan to cultivate the five-colored deer is about to begin.

Starting from next month, I will send other junior brothers and sisters to get fresh mulberry leaves every three days.

Remember to use young mulberry leaves that are within three days of age."

The dark clouds of demonic disasters have begun to loom. The sooner Master can cultivate a Chaoyuan-level beast, the better he will be able to cope with the storm and play a greater role.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I will do my best to help Uncle He. How could I fool around?"

The customer has paid a deposit and the spirit stones will be settled on time later.

Besides, he couldn't afford it if anything went wrong.

"Master's affairs must not be lost. Junior brother, please do not blame me for saying one more thing."

Li Minghui explained and said:
"Junior brother, you can trade me the ripe Biluo fruit. I have brought the spirit disk with me, so I can complete the transaction directly."

The sect stipulates that the contribution points and minor merits in the monks' jade cards cannot be traded with each other, but monks can issue bounty tasks to complete the transaction.

The sect will extract a small amount of contribution points, which can also be regarded as a channel for consuming contribution points.

Normally, such transactions are required to be completed in various halls, but Li Minghui is the deputy hall master of the Beast Taming Hall and has the authority to bring out the sect's spirit disk.

"Six of the jacaranda trees have matured over the years, yielding 360 fruits. With eight more trees maturing soon, we estimate we'll yield over 400 more."

Although there are more than twenty second-level Biluo trees, only so many can bear fruit in the next two to three years.

Ji An ordered:
"Yuhan, go to the warehouse and get the second-level Biluo fruit."

He kept twenty-five fruits in his hand in case of emergency.

"Junior brother, you have been of great help. We were originally short of supplies, but now we have more. We, the Yunhe Mountain lineage, will remember this kindness."

Li Minghui smiled kindly. The number of second-level jade-leaf mulberry trees on Chiyan Peak had reached fifty-six, far exceeding expectations, and the gap in mulberry leaves was already very small.

With the spiritual fruit and the investment of so many resources, the Five-Colored Deer's chances of breaking through have increased a bit.

"It's my honor to be able to help Uncle He."

Everyone carried the fancy sedan, and Ji An spoke compliments without changing his expression.

"The peach blossoms have bloomed. If they produce spiritual peaches, please give us priority."

Li Minghui said that although the Five-Colored Deer can transform the power of the five elements, it will inevitably cause losses.

It would be best to be able to eat more kinds of spiritual fruits.

"No problem. I will send some of the spiritual peaches to Master's cave, and keep a few for myself to taste. You can consider trading the rest to Senior Sister."

“The second-grade low-grade spiritual peaches are handed over to the sect, each worth five small gong, and we will also give them to my junior brother at this price.

For every ten fruits traded, you will be charged an additional four small gongs."

Lingtao is a fire-element spiritual plant and is more popular among cultivators, so she gave it a higher reward.

"Okay, just do as Senior Sister says."
