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

Chapter 6 Bamboo Bird
"Brother Xia Chen, why are you here!"

A little girl of five or six years old came skipping over. She looked very pretty and cute.

"I'll give you some snacks!"

Xia Chen smiled and handed over the bamboo basket.

The little girl took the basket and looked at it, and immediately cheered: "It turned out to be red date spirit rice cake!"

At this time, a beautiful woman came out of the room. She had a dignified and beautiful face, a graceful figure, and a charming complexion. She was about thirty years old, and had her hair loosely tied in a bun that hung diagonally beside her neck.

She saw a basket of spiritual cakes and asked quickly, "What is Chen Ge'er doing?"

Xia Chen smiled and said, "I also want to thank Madam Xu for lending me the spiritual dates."

The magical dates used to steam the red date magical rice cake were given by Madam Xu.

Originally he wanted to buy it with spirit crystals, but he couldn't resist Madam Xu's politeness and just gave her a handful.

"They are just a few spiritual dates in the courtyard. How much are they worth?"

Madam Xu smiled gently, her voice was clear, melodious and pleasant.

"I made this spiritual cake myself, it's not worth much money!" Xia Chen waved his hand.

This Madam Xu is a widow. Her husband was originally an outer sect disciple of the Tianyan Immortal Sect. He is at the seventh level of Qi Refining and has the hope of being promoted to the inner sect.

It’s a pity that three years ago, he was killed by the monster Fire Cloud Eagle while exploring a secret place.

Madam Xu and her daughter were left to depend on each other.

In the world of immortal cultivation, life for widows is already difficult, especially for such an attractive and pretty widow, who will attract the covetousness of other cultivators.

Unless she relies on a strong man and remarries someone else.

But this Mrs. Xu was a proud person and did not want to remarry.

Relying on her good aptitude, she actually broke through from the fourth level of Qi Refining to the fifth level of Qi Refining just half a year after her husband's death.

There are many spiritual farmers in this area of ​​the wasteland, at least eight hundred if not a thousand, but their realm is generally low, and the fifth level of Qi Refining is considered upper-middle.

Relying on the thirty acres of spiritual fields left by her husband, Mrs. Xu was able to survive and raise her children.

"Brother Chen, don't be in such a hurry to leave first..."

Xia Chen turned around and was about to leave, but when he heard this, he stopped and couldn't help but look at the beautiful woman.

"I wonder if Brother Chen has time to help me take care of those thirty acres of spiritual farmland?"

"Take care of the spiritual fields? Why is Madam Xu doing this?"

Xia Chen found it a little unbelievable. That was thirty acres of spiritual farmland. How could he just leave it to others to take care of?

Madam Xu sighed.

It turned out that she had to take care of her daughter Xiaoyun alone over the years, and also manage so many acres of spiritual fields, and she was really overwhelmed.

Recently, she has mastered the Cloud Butterfly Flying Needle technique to a small degree, so she plans to sell the treasures left by her late husband and go to Qixia Fairy Town to rent a small shop to cut and mend clothes for the monks.

The clothes of high-level monks are basically made of spiritual silk.

The spiritual silk is as light as a feather, but extremely tough and resistant to ordinary flames. Clothes woven with it are invulnerable to swords and guns, and are immune to water and fire.

If a forbidden formation is drawn in it, it will become a robe that can withstand many magical attacks.

Fighting was common among monks, and their vestments were often torn and needed mending.

Therefore, tailors are still very popular in the world of cultivation.

"Of course I am willing to manage these thirty acres of spiritual fields for Madam Xu, but I don't know how much rent I have to pay this year?" Xia Chen asked.

After thinking for a while, Madam Xu said, "Forty kilograms of spiritual grain per acre. If there is an insect plague or something like that, you can get less."

"Thank you very much, Madam Xu!" Xia Chen agreed without hesitation. This condition was already very generous.

Under normal circumstances, one acre of spiritual field can produce three hundred kilograms of spiritual grain. After deducting the two hundred kilograms handed over to the sect and the forty kilograms of rent paid to Madam Xu, one can still have sixty kilograms of spiritual grain left per acre.

Thirty acres means 1,800 kilograms!

What's more, Madam Xu's spiritual field is close to Cuiwei Mountain Range, and its quality is almost close to that of a mid-grade spiritual field.

There is a second-level spiritual vein hidden in Cuiwei Mountain, which is rich in spiritual energy.

Therefore, the closer to the mountains, the better the quality of the spiritual field.

If the year is good, it is even possible to achieve two harvests in one year!
Two crops a year means that crops on arable land can mature twice and be harvested twice a year.

The crops here are not limited to the same type.

The fertility contained in the medium-quality spiritual field is not enough to make spiritual rice like Golden Pearl Rice mature twice in a year, but it is possible to plant some spiritual vegetables such as green spiritual vegetables and emerald jade melon after the Golden Pearl Rice is harvested.

"In this case, let's sign the agreement!"

After saying that, Madam Xu went back to the room and took out a piece of yellow paper with various treaties written on it, which was obviously prepared in advance.

Xia Chen took it, looked through it carefully, and signed and put his fingerprints on it after finding no problems.

Now that the mountains are blocked by heavy snow and the weather is bad, Mrs. Xu and her daughter decided to move to Qixia City after the spring.

After returning home, Xia Chen began to prepare for next year's spring planting.

It is not an easy task to reclaim thirty acres of medium field and ten acres of lower field.

One needs to be proficient in many spells, such as the small cloud and rain spell for irrigation and the spring breeze and rain spell.

The spirit-nourishing techniques and spirit-gathering techniques used to warm and nourish the spiritual soil.

Flying needle technique and Gengjin secret for eliminating insects.

Growth-inducing techniques and herbal techniques used for seedling cultivation.

The Red Sun Technique and Fireball Technique that enhance illumination, etc.

The original owner had only learned a few small spells such as the Spring Breeze and Flying Needle spells, which were barely enough to get started, so the quality of the golden pearl rice he planted was not very good.

Xia Chen decided to focus on the Gengjin Jue first, which can generate some gold power in the cultivator's body.

During the growth process of spiritual rice, it sometimes encounters various kinds of aphids, which will devour the spiritual grains. Ordinary spiritual farmers are helpless against them.

The ten acres of spiritual fields planted by Xia Chen before were infested with aphids such as rice bugs, which led to a reduction in the yield and quality of spiritual grains.

After practicing the Gengjin Jue, one can infiltrate the golden power into the spiritual valley and kill aphids.

Moreover, this golden force can also be attached to metals, such as flying needles, sickles, swords, etc., making them extremely sharp, which can enhance the combat effectiveness of the monks to a certain extent.

The original owner did not have the practice method of Gengjin Jue, so he needed to go to Sinong Hall to buy it.

The Sinong Hall is an important department of the outer sect of the Tianyan Immortal Sect. It is located in the Jinxia Mountain, hundreds of miles away from the Cuiwei Mountain.

Today, it is freezing cold and the mountains are covered with snow, so it is not suitable to use the magic talisman.

The bamboo dragonfly is a good flying prop, but his current realm is low. If it is discovered by other cultivators, many troubles will inevitably arise.

As a last resort, Xia Chen went to Old Man Sun’s house at the entrance of the village and rented a bamboo bird for eighty spirit crystals.

The bamboo bird is woven from spiritual bamboo, is two meters long, and has special forbidden runes painted on its bamboo wings, allowing it to carry people and fly.

This is also one of the few flying tools available to low-level monks.

The bamboo bird of Old Man Sun is quite old. Its body has turned yellow and even the runes on it are a little dim.

"Xia boy, you'd better be careful. If anything goes wrong, you'll have to pay additional compensation!" Old man Sun kept reminding him.
