Strange mountains and rivers

Unable to stop him, nor daring to stop him, the middle-aged monk could only lead the way with a bitter face.

Fortunately, the spiritual fields on the Matougou side were not rare and precious things that could not be seen in the light, and the Cao family's spiritual planting skills were not a skill that anyone could learn by just looking at it.

If you are friendly and close, and really interested, you can come to observe, but it is naturally impossible for a stranger like Chen Huaisheng to visit casually.

But in this situation, when you meet a domineering character like Chen Huaisheng, you can only know the current situation and act accordingly.

Chen Huaisheng raised his leg and walked in. The middle-aged monk could only hurry to the front, leading the way while slowing down his pace to prevent this guy from running around.

The terrain of Matougou is not complicated, it is just a series of shallow hills, and there is no high and dangerous terrain.

Chen Huaisheng can see the spiritual fields that have been reclaimed, scattered on the hillside.

Each area is not large, about half an acre to two acres, but it can be seen that the construction of this spiritual field took a lot of effort.

All around the spiritual field, you can see clumps of bamboo poles twisted together and inserted diagonally into the ground. Each spiritual field has more or less a few clumps of bamboo poles.

The tops of the bamboo poles are split open, and there are some silver plates that seem to be made of mithril.

The furrows and ridges of the spiritual land are also quite regular, planted with resurrection flowers.

Resurrection flowers are a neutral spiritual plant that can replenish blood and marrow and strengthen bones.

"What is this thing used for?" Chen Huaisheng carefully observed the magic devices supported by clumps of bamboo poles around the spiritual field, and asked curiously.

The middle-aged monk hesitated for a moment, but still reluctantly answered: "This is a magic device for absorbing the sun's essence. It can help the spiritual field obtain more abundant sun's essence and make up for the lack of spiritual power in the spiritual field..."

"Oh?" Chen Huaisheng raised his eyebrows, "This bamboo pole plus a copper plate can absorb the sun's essence? It can also be transferred to the ground to transform the spiritual land? Since it can absorb the sun's essence, what about the moon's essence? It can also be absorbed?"

I didn't expect this guy to be able to draw inferences from one example. The middle-aged monk grinned and didn't want to answer, but he was afraid of angering the other party. He could only breathe in cold air like a toothache and said: "Well, you can do this, but it depends on the nature of the spiritual plant species planted. For example, this kind of resurrection flower does not need to absorb the moon's essence..."

Chen Huaisheng saw that the other party was vague and obviously didn't want to answer too much, and didn't care.

He roughly counted that this spiritual field was about one acre, with a total of eight furrows and ridges. There were about four to five resurrection flowers planted on each furrow and ridge, which means that this acre of land could probably grow more than thirty to forty resurrection flowers.

This is not a small amount. According to the selling price of Huanyang Flower in the spiritual plant shop in Bianjing City, the ordinary quality, that is, the second-grade good quality, can be sold for about 80 spiritual stones.

This means that the output of this acre of land can reach about 3,000 spiritual stones.

And how many such spiritual fields are there on Matougu? Twenty, or fifty?

The cultivation period of Huanyang Flower is about two seasons a year, which means that if the quality of Huanyang Flower can reach the ordinary second grade, then this acre of spiritual field can produce 6,000 spiritual stones.

It is not certain whether the Huanyang Flower produced here can reach the second-grade good quality determined by the spiritual plant shop in Bianjing City. It may also be a third-grade common product. In this case, the price will be greatly discounted. One plant may only be sold for 50 spiritual stones. If it goes down, it will have almost no medicinal effect and will be worthless.

"Can this Huanyang Flower reach the second-grade good quality after cultivation?" Chen Huaisheng asked bluntly.

"This..." This involves commercial secrets, and it is difficult for the middle-aged cultivator to answer.

"Why, do you still want to keep it a secret?" Chen Huaisheng glanced at the other party, "Is it difficult to answer?"

"It is indeed difficult to answer." A voice came from afar. Chen Huaisheng looked up and saw that about a hundred steps away, a middle-aged monk in Taoist robes was walking over, followed by two young people, a man and a woman.

In fact, Chen Huaisheng had already discovered several people, but he didn't care and let the other party observe him from a distance.

The middle-aged man in Taoist robes who came was at the second level of foundation building, and his age was about sixty years old, which was quite good. If the guess was right, he should be one of the best in the Cao family.

The two young men behind him looked a bit like the man in Taoist robes. They should be his nephews, one at the fifth level of Qi training, and the other at the third level of Qi training.

"This is the secret of the Cao family, but you are asking directly. Isn't that embarrassing?" Walking closer, the middle-aged man in Taoist robes bowed and saluted, "Cao Yuxiu greets Brother Dao."

Chen Huaisheng returned the salute, but did not introduce himself. He just asked: "Is the question I asked very confidential? It shouldn't be a big deal, right? Or if I know it, will it bring disaster to your Cao family?"

Cao Yuxiu is the strongest cultivator in the Cao family, but he can feel that his spiritual realm strength is far behind the young man in front of him. This shocked him and he couldn't help but consider his answer to avoid angering the other party.

At the same time, he also wanted to understand that such a guy obviously came for a purpose. What is his plan? Is he really just here to understand the situation of the Cao family's spiritual field in Matougu?

But what is the purpose of understanding these?

Answering some simple questions is nothing, but the key is to understand this guy's identity and intentions.

"Brother Dao, if it were me, how would I respond?" Cao Yuxiu pondered for a moment, "Brother Dao is unwilling to reveal his identity and intentions. Even if these situations are not particularly important secrets, how can we not take any precautions against a stranger?"

The sophisticated Cao Yuxiu put himself in a weak position, and with an attitude of empathy, he not only expressed his attitude but also left room for maneuver.

As long as you can explain your identity and intentions, it is not impossible to answer some of your questions.

Chen Huaisheng also pondered, considering whether he needed to explain his identity.

It can be seen that the Cao family is indeed unique in the cultivation of spiritual plants.

Looking at another spiritual field ten steps away from this Huanyang flower field, there is no such bamboo pole device, but some shrubs and grasses seem to be planted in the field, which I can't even recognize. In the middle of the field, a pit was dug, and something seemed to be installed inside.

Looking further away, there are actually twenty or thirty such spiritual fields. Chen Huaisheng sensed through his spiritual sense that the spiritual energy of Matougu is not that good. Of course, it is definitely stronger than the surrounding flat land. But if it were him, he would definitely not be able to grow spiritual plants. This is enough to show how extraordinary Cao is.
