I made a fortune by farming on the island

Chapter 8 Insect Pests on the Island

The morning light penetrates into the cave, bringing a touch of warmth and dazzling light. The light spots among the interlaced trees are indistinct, decorated with water mist that has not yet dissipated, and it is like a fairyland in a trance.

Qi Yuncheng frowned slightly, woke up quietly, and found that he had an extra coat on his body at some point.When he wanted to get up and take a closer look, the coat soaked in the morning light disappeared into nothing like the mist in the mountains and forests, only the warmth was very real.

Grandma Xi seemed to be the same as before, showing no signs of anger or emotion, but she was always taking good care of herself.

With Qi Yuncheng's awakening, the will of the island - the little light group also appeared instantly.It floated beside Qi Yuncheng, as if curious, but also nervous.

"Good morning, Xiaogui." Qi Yuncheng stretched out his hand to touch the light ball, but he passed through it the next moment, which was a bit regretful.

Qi Yuncheng paused for a moment before he realized that the ball of light was not an entity, but a spirit.

The light cluster trembled, like a few stones falling into a calm lake, causing countless ripples, "Xiaogui?"

It doesn't seem to understand what the new owner means.

"So I didn't tell you?" Qi Yuncheng felt a little regretful when he saw this, "Since this island has no name to return to, your name is 'Gui', what about the name Xiaogui?"

"Xiaogui...name...do I have a name?"

"do not like?"

"No! I like it very much!"

It seemed that he liked it so much that Guang Tuan, that is, Xiao Gui, burst out with strong emotions. Qi Yuncheng was immediately shocked, but because of the contract, it didn't hurt him.

Years of solitude made it settle down, just like that wine, the longer it gets, the stronger it becomes, and it just needs some introductions, and it can explode into pieces like a ignited gunpowder.

Qi Yuncheng rubbed his head to relieve the pressure caused by the other party's emotions, and couldn't help but laugh.

Is this "animism"?

He can feel their emotions, understand their thoughts, and communicate with them and establish connections.Compared with humans or mermaids, spirits are much more straightforward.

"Eat something when you wake up." The old man's voice interrupted Qi Yuncheng, and she walked out of the forest, holding two fruits in her hand. "There are not many beasts, and there are no tools to cook, so eat this first."

The skin of the small tree fruit is plump and still stained with water droplets, Qi Yuncheng's eyes lit up when he saw it, "Thank you, mother-in-law."

After receiving the fruit, he smiled and said, "Mother-in-law took care last night, if it wasn't for her, I might have caught the cold."

The old man didn't respond, and continued, "Let's start practicing after eating."

"There are more important issues than cultivation..." Qi Yuncheng was talking, and after taking a bite of the fruit, his whole face instantly wrinkled.

very sour!

Who would have thought that the seemingly innocuous little fruit would have such a terrifying sour smell!As soon as he bit it, he felt that his whole body was so sour that his soul was taken out, and his whole body was numb.

"Mother-in-law..."

He looked over as if asking for help, the old man's face was cold and hard, "Eat it to replenish your strength and refresh your mind."

"But I..."

"This is the most suitable for you on the island at the moment." The old man said, "Unless your cultivation is advanced and its benefits to you are weak, otherwise you can only eat this during this period of time."

This is more than just waking up, it's almost out of my body when I wake up!

Qi Yuncheng coughed a few times, but he still ate the extremely sour fruit in two or three bites. After the last bite, he felt that his whole soul had been sublimated.

I have eaten unpalatable fruits, but I have never eaten such unpalatable ones.But if that's the only thing you can eat, there's nothing you can do about it.

"Yes... I'm sorry." Xiao Gui looked at Qi Yuncheng's pain just now, and seemed to feel a little guilty, "The island is barren, only these things..."

Not to mention the beasts on the island, even the birds rarely come here.

Seeing that another emotional storm was about to brew, Qi Yuncheng hurriedly stopped Guangtuan Xiaogui, "It's not your fault, this matter will not be a problem in the future! I will find a way to solve it!"

This time, Xiao Gui was successfully appeased, while Granny Xi on the other side frowned. "So how are you going to develop?"

"This..." Qi Yuncheng was actually a little confused when asked this question.

In his previous life, he was first imprisoned in another courtyard, and later when distinguished guests came, he was able to leave the other courtyard, but he was also under the surveillance and control of the City Lord's Mansion.After that, I took the initiative to ask to become a proton, nothing more than wanting to leave there with a more stable posture.

When he arrived in Haihua City, he was just being watched in another place, even more uncomfortable than the City Lord's Mansion.People in the City Lord's Mansion will ignore him, but Haihua City always likes to make fun of him.

So in his previous life, he really should pack up his burden and run away. Even if there is no Granny Xi, no inheritance left by his mother, at least...

No need to have that kind of experience...

Qi Yuncheng's eyes darkened, then he came back to his senses and put aside the past memories.

"Probably, find out what products are on the island, or what industries can be developed, and then develop them?"

After all, he only heard about it and visited it, but never actually operated it. Qi Yuncheng couldn't help but take it for granted and didn't consider the details.

"Then your progress in cultivation will be hopeless. The master gave you the mark of the Island of No Return, not for you to be a farmer. I hope you can remember that as a member of the Royal Spirit Clan, continuous cultivation , is your right path."

Grandma Xi was the same as Qi Yuncheng remembered, stern and cold, although she was considerate in taking care of her life, but she was very persistent about the "right way".His reading and word recognition were taught semi-forced by his mother-in-law Xi when he was a child.Later, even if Grandma Xi left, he didn't dare to miss his homework.

Now that his identity has changed, the new priority is "cultivation", and Qi Yuncheng also understands that her mother-in-law will not give him the opportunity to fish for three days and post on the net for two days.

"But cultivation also requires resources such as heaven, material and earth treasures, right? Not to mention anything else, spirit stones are a necessity."

Although Qi Yuncheng was unable to cultivate in his previous life, there are still quite a few monks around him, so he also knows that for monks, wealth or not is also a factor that determines the quality of life and status, "Forest trees, sea beasts, and all kinds of Existence, Boundless Sea is a great treasure land, as long as you can find your way and have a stable source of income, it will be very helpful in your cultivation."

"..." The old man didn't speak, but looked at the protagonist suspiciously, as if thinking for a while, "If it's that, I've seen it before, this island is hopeless in a short time, it's for cultivation The aura is not enough."

Qi Yuncheng's face froze, "But there are so many trees on the island, so it's not enough?"

A real deserted island with nothing, but the kind that is bare, it looks like a big rock floating on the sea at first glance, and the island of no return is at least covered with green plants. In Qi Yunsheng's impression, no matter how shabby this type of island is, it can be Find a place where you can make a profit.

"You have already made a contract with the island spirit, and your feelings will be clearer than mine." Granny Xi said, "It just so happens that this is also a part of cultivation. You can use the method of inheritance to take a thorough look at the island."

Grandma Xi's words made Qi Yuncheng feel a little uneasy, so without her guidance, he released his own spirit-calling power and merged with Xiaogui.

It was not smooth at the beginning, neither Qi Yunsheng nor Xiaogui had similar experience, so there were some bumps and bumps, but with the traction of the contract, it was finally a success.

At that moment, different from the vague connection before, Qi Yuncheng closed his eyes and felt as if he had become one with the Island of No Return, and everything on the Island of No Return was placed in front of him.

There are very few animals, almost all of them are small beasts, and there are few bird nests in the forest, most of which are deserted. It can be seen that this place is not favored by them.

Then Qi Yuncheng discovered the problem.After realizing a certain existence, his scalp went numb for an instant.

Why are there sea worms? !

I couldn't notice it at first, but if I carefully discern the information hidden in the trees, I can clearly find that the trees on this island have become a hotbed of pests.They don't seem to have much of a problem, but they're mostly rotted away.

Sea worms are a kind of pest unique to the boundless sea, and they are the enemy of almost all islands.They have a thick carapace and can float on the sea for a long time until they come ashore.Once the sea worms log in, the plants on the island are basically destroyed.Sea worms will wantonly seize its nutrition and aura, and will not restrain it.

For the islands that were infested with sea worms, if you are lucky, you can kill them all before the disaster spreads. If you are unlucky, you must spend a lot of money to find professional people to remove the pests.At the same time, if they are not killed or taken to extremely distant places, then they are likely to float back along the ocean current.

Moreover, the mimicry ability of sea worms is too strong, even Qi Yuncheng, who has a contract with the island spirit and fully grasps the existence of the island, may ignore their movements.

Qi Yuncheng felt that he wanted to take back his preface. Although the Island of No Return is not bald, but with sea worms, it is actually no different from bald.The trees on this island seem to have no major problems, but they are actually nests of sea worms.

This is probably the reason why the fruit is so sour that there is no cure.

Following Qi Yuncheng's spiritual power, Xiaogui found those outsiders after a while, and his emotions exploded in an instant, "I'm sorry!"

It didn't know what sea worms were, but it knew that those beings attached to the trees would suck up all the plants.

Qi Yuncheng had heard about the reputation of sea worms in his previous life, and knew how annoying they were.He looked at Granny Xi, "Grandma, you said..."

"With the scale of their reproduction, your efforts will only be in vain if you act on your own." Granny Xi didn't seem to be comforting at all, "Don't underestimate the cunning animals."

"..." Qi Yuncheng had a bitter face, he didn't expect to encounter such a big trouble when he just started.

Fortunately, sea worms are only pests of plants, and are not interested in living things—of course, because their carapaces are too thick, most animals are not interested in them, so monks are usually hired to clean up these sea worms in batches.It is unrealistic to count on natural enemies.

If there are sea bugs, then this part can only be shelved.Even Qi Yuncheng had to prepare a sum of money from the very beginning as a reserve fund for sea worm control.

As an ordinary person, after discovering that the actual situation of No Return Island is so bad, it is estimated that they will leave immediately and concentrate on developing other islands.

Qi Yuncheng was depressed for a long time.

It was rare that Grandma Xi didn't go back, but watched Qi Yuncheng go from being full of energy to being hit hard.Dao Ling Xiaogui circled around him, as if trying to find a solution, but there was really no solution.

So now, what choice will the child make?

Although his head was full of silver threads and his face was wrinkled, and his hands were as thin as dry bamboo to the point of having distinct bones, there was no trace of aging in the old man's eyes.She quietly looked at Qi Yuncheng who fell into silence, as if examining something.

Qi Yuncheng originally thought of growing some food on the island, and selling the surplus after satisfying his own needs.With the unexpected discovery of sea worms, all plant-related ideas can only be shelved.

So all that's left is...

"Wait!" Qi Yuncheng's eyes lit up, "I remember there is a way in the inheritance!"

There is a way?

The old man froze for a moment, as if a little surprised.

The author has something to say: Yun Sheng: Why are there insects here!Why!

Xiaogui: I often drift on the sea, how can I not get knifed, why do you think I am so deserted here ╮(╯_╰)╭
