Pick up the treasure bag and start cultivating immortals from the shrinking lamp.

Chapter 29 Tricycle
Bamboo house.

There were more than a dozen insect observation boxes placed in front of Xia Chen, most of which were empty, which meant that the locusts were dead.

The remaining four boxes were all pitch black, and even the locusts themselves could not be seen clearly.

It seems to be related to the environment it is in.

These are all first-grade, mid-quality red-gold locusts. Perhaps because of their powerful strength, they managed to survive by chance.

Three days ago, Li Mucheng, the elder of Sinong Hall, and the mysterious insect master had a fierce battle, and each won and lost.

The swarm of locusts that had been ravaging tens of thousands of acres of spiritual fields was finally wiped out in one fell swoop, and the remaining stragglers were no match for the rest.

But the insect master also managed to escape from the hands of the elders of the Sinong Hall and disappeared without a trace.

Xia Chen put away the extra insect boxes for observation and gave the rest to Zhuma to look after, asking him to notify him if there was any movement.

He himself moved baskets of magical rice from the back room to the front yard.

Today is the day to hand over the spiritual rice to the sect.

Two hours later, a monk came riding on a cow.

The person who came was Yue Qing, the deacon disciple of the Sinong Hall.

"Hello, Senior Brother Yue!"

Xia Chen smiled and walked forward.

Yue Qing jumped off the big blue ox, holding the storage bag in his hand, and nodded: "I heard from other spiritual farmers that the Xuzi shantytown will have a bumper harvest this year. You have contributed a lot!"

"It's just good luck!" Xia Chen said with a smile.

Yue Qing took a handful of golden pearl rice from the basket as usual, rubbed off the skin, and said with some surprise: "This year's golden pearl rice is round and full, with a bright color and rich spiritual energy. It can be considered top-grade!"

Looking back to last year, the golden pearl rice planted by Xia Chen was dull in color, many of the rice grains were dry and flat, and of poor quality.

In the end, he gave away a bag of broken spirit stones privately, and Yue Qing reluctantly changed his status to medium to low and collected the rent.

Otherwise, Xia Chen would be burdened with a debt of two thousand kilograms of spiritual rice. If he could not pay it back next year, he would probably be sent to mine.

"This is the rent from Madam Xu Yin. Madam Xu gave me thirty acres of spiritual farmland to take care of, so I'm paying the rent to the sect on her behalf!"

Xia Chen brought over a basket of Yuling rice.

Yue Qing grabbed a handful and checked them as usual, while also putting a few shed soul grains in his mouth and chewing them.

Then he said in surprise: "This Jade Spirit Rice is just as good as the Golden Pearl Rice. Both can be considered top quality. It seems that Junior Brother Xia has had an epiphany in planting. He may become a spiritual plant master in the future!"

"This is mainly because the rice seeds given by my senior brother are of good quality!" Xia Chen said modestly.

Yue Qing continued, "According to the regulations between employers and tenants in Sinong Palace, the quality of the rice in the spiritual fields is borne by the tenants, so the credit for these thirty acres of spiritual fields is counted on you!"

Afterwards, a passage was recorded in the "Cuiwei Mountain Spiritual Farm Book": Xia Chen, in the 573rd year of the Great Jin Dynasty, handed over kilograms of premium golden pearl rice, and later became a tenant and handed over kilograms of premium jade spirit rice, for a total of contribution points.

These twenty contribution points can be exchanged for spirit seeds, skills, spells, and planting tools in the Sinong Hall.

The only thing is that it cannot be exchanged for spirit stones.

"Thank you, senior brother!" Xia Chen bowed.

He also knew about the decree of the Ministry of Agriculture, which stated that if the crops were good, the tenants would get contribution points, but the employers would not get any, and the employers would also have to pay the rent to the sect.

As a result, employers' risks increased, profits decreased, and tenants' rights were enhanced.

This is also the sect's way of cracking down on spiritual farmers renting out their spiritual fields to others.

Otherwise, with so many shanty towns in the six fairy mountains, a large number of "landlords" will emerge.

It must be said that the elder of Sinong Hall who made this law was very far-sighted. Yue Qing weighed the spiritual grains on the ground one by one, and then put them into the storage bag.

After finishing all this, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Xia Chen: "It's almost noon, Senior Brother Yue, why don't you come to my humble abode for lunch? I'm ready and waiting for you to come!"

Yue Qing tried to refuse a few times, but couldn't resist the enthusiasm and had to follow him into the bamboo house.

On the table were several delicacies made from spirit fish and a large bowl of spirit cakes.

"Junior Brother Xia's meal is quite unique!"

Yue Qing smiled and didn't say anything polite. Then he grabbed a piece of red date rice cake and started eating.

Xia Chen also took out a pot of spiritual wine, poured a glass for Yue Qing, and said: "Besides farming, Junior Brother's only hobby is fishing. Fortunately, I have good luck and can always catch some spiritual fish from time to time!"

After having enough wine and food.

Yue Qing said seriously: "Junior brother, the sect is reclaiming wasteland in the Shiwan Mountains. You have a good talent for planting. This year, you can plant 40 acres of high-quality spiritual fields. If you are interested, I can apply to the elders of the Sinong Hall to let you plant high-quality spiritual fields there!"

"Superior spiritual field!"

Xia Chen's heart moved.

It is said that a medium-quality spiritual field can produce two crops a year, but after the summer harvest, only some scattered spiritual vegetables and herbs can be grown.

But the top-grade spiritual field is different. It can truly allow the Jade Spirit Rice to be harvested twice a year!
Moreover, the rent for the second crop is different from that for the first crop.

The second crop only requires 150 catties of spiritual grain per mu, which is 50 catties less than the first crop.

However, although the top-grade spiritual field is tempting, it is located on the other side of the Ten Thousand Mountains after all, and there are still many potential risks.

After thinking for a while, Xia Chen shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother! But my cultivation is low, only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. If I rashly go to the Shiwan Mountains, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate."

Yue Qing nodded and said, "You are right. It won't be too late to consider this matter when you reach the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining!"

"I will have to trouble you then, Senior Brother!"

Xia Chen smiled and bowed, and gave a basket of bamboo cakes when he left.

In addition to the sect's rent, you also need to pay rent to Madam Xu.

According to the agreement, Xia Chen, the tenant farmer, needs to pay a rent of 40 kilograms per acre to his employer, Xu Niangzi.

If you encounter insect pests or something like that, you can reduce the rent.

To be honest, this lease is quite good.

This year's harvest was good, with the yield of Yuling rice reaching 360 kilograms per mu. Xia Chen also received 20 contribution points from the Sinong Palace because of these 30 mu of spiritual fields.

So he prepared to give Madam Xu 1,500 kilograms of millet, which was equivalent to a rent of 50 kilograms per mu.

After preparing everything, Xia Chen took out a prop from his treasure bag, a small three-wheeled airplane, but it had two wheels in the front and one wheel in the back, and even handrails and foot pedals.

This is the flying item I drew before, a three-wheeled plane, F-class.

The operation is very simple, just step on the pedal and you can fly.

As for the flying speed, it all depends on how fast you pedal.

Previously, my trips were all near shanty towns, so I had no problems using mini planes.

However, Qixia Fairy Town is hundreds of miles away, and there is no guarantee that we will not encounter some powerful monks on the way. It would be a big deal if we were discovered.

The appearance of the three-wheeled aircraft is similar to that of flying instruments such as the bamboo bird, so it would not arouse suspicion when flown out.

At that moment, Xia Chen entered the cockpit of the three-wheeled plane and stepped on the pedal. The three-wheeled spacecraft immediately swayed and flew up.
