Chapter 15: Opening up the Spiritual Field

The next day, the grandfather and grandson finished their training and set out to find a suitable place to open up spiritual fields. Fortunately, the grandfather was a foundation-building cultivator and carried Lin Changqing in a spiritual boat.

This was also Lin Changqing's first time flying. After flying for a while, he didn't feel particularly scared. On the contrary, he liked this feeling very much. Although he was just flying around Jiufeng Mountain.

The grandfather and grandson spent a day searching carefully. They found three suitable places in total. After considering various factors, they finally chose Aoyun Peak, which is a little bit outside Jiufeng Mountain. Because it is relatively outside, there are not many people in the clan who have developed spiritual fields here. It can be said that Lin Changqing is the first one.

If we level the hillside of Aoyun Peak, we can create a sacred area of ​​nearly 100 mu. But we don't need to create so much land now.

The two discussed and decided to open up only 18 acres. They started to tidy up the area in the middle of the chosen location, using fireball magic to burn the weeds and trees into ashes to enrich the land.

After clearing about 20 mu of land, the grandfather and grandson studied the land again and both felt that the soil was very good and suitable for planting.

Then use the Earth Covering Technique to turn out the grass roots, tree stumps, etc. in the soil. Because the Earth Covering Technique is a first-level medium-grade spell, Lin Changqing cannot learn this spell yet, so only his grandfather can do it.

Opening up spiritual fields is a delicate job. Not only does it require opening up spiritual fields, but it also requires setting up spirit gathering formations in the spiritual fields. The spiritual plant master's spirit nurturing technique then needs to be used to warm the land. Only then can the opening up of the spiritual fields be considered a success.

Because the family welfare only has ten acres, Lin Changqing opened eighteen acres, and each acre of spiritual field requires a spirit gathering array. So the cost of the remaining nine spirit gathering arrays must be borne by himself.

Each 100 contribution points, a total of 900 contribution points were paid by Lin Changqing's father. Adding another spirit gathering array here will make it easier for the people guarding the spirit field to practice.

The Soul Cultivation Technique is a first-class, superior spell, and Lin Changqing cannot learn it now. Only his aunt and grandfather can help.

It took more than ten days to complete it, and my parents, uncle, and aunt all came to help. It was only then that it was completed so quickly.

The whole family worked together to build a small courtyard and three houses. One of them was a training room with a spirit gathering array. The other two were used for daily rest.

Then put some furniture in there, and some hoes, sickles and other tools for farming. Basically, everything is complete.

After some discussion, they decided to plant first-grade inferior spiritual rice on ten acres of spiritual fields in the first year, and plant spiritual medicine on the remaining eight acres. Because Lin Changqing was still relatively young, his family didn't want him to work too hard.

The first-grade low-grade spiritual rice is easy to grow, and the Lin family has rich experience in growing it. Lin Changqing also saw a lot of it in the Sutra Library.

Basically, as long as you cast the Spirit Rain spell on time, apply fertilizer occasionally, loosen the soil, etc., the task of catching insects will be left to Chuyi. Basically, there will be no big problems.

The first-grade inferior spiritual rice only matures once a year, so there is basically no need for a stimulating spell. Just let it grow naturally.

Each mu of land can produce about 400 jin of spiritual rice, and every 20 jin of spiritual rice can be exchanged for 1 contribution point. Ten mu of spiritual rice can earn about 200 contribution points per year.

According to the three middle-grade Qi Gathering Pills per month for ordinary cultivators, only 15 contribution points are needed per month, and a total of 180 contribution points per year, which is enough for a year of cultivation. This treatment is already very high, and casual cultivators may not even be able to guarantee three low-grade Qi Gathering Pills per month.

Spiritual rice is also a daily consumable for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.

It is not possible to practice fasting during the Qi Refining Stage. You still need to eat every day. If you eat ordinary grains, there are a lot of impurities in them, which is very detrimental to your practice.

Spiritual rice has few impurities and can replace ordinary grains. About one pound a day is enough to fill you up.

Leaving behind about 400 kilograms of spiritual rice, which is worth just 20 contribution points, is enough for a year's consumption.

Unless you are a body cultivator, there is no limit. Body cultivators are generally recognized to be able to eat a lot. It is also the most resource-consuming way of cultivation. Few people practice now. The mainstream of the cultivation world is still to focus on Qi training. These ten acres of spiritual fields are enough for an ordinary cultivator to practice with medium-grade spiritual pills, and there is still a little left. Therefore, the family still has a lot of considerations when distributing benefits. I have roughly calculated it.

Lin Changqing mainly takes care of the eight acres of spiritual fields where spiritual medicine is planted. Each acre can grow 60 spiritual medicines. Eight acres and 480 spiritual medicines are planted, all of which are spiritual medicines needed to refine Qi Gathering Pills.

All of them need three years to grow to maturity. Under Lin Changqing's care, they can grow and mature within one year. This is already the limit. He can't take care of more.

When they are mature, they can be sold directly to the General Affairs Hall. Each plant is worth one contribution point. Here, it is 480 contribution points. This harvest is already very good.

Lin Changqing's father and second uncle joined the monster hunting team, and each of them earned about 500 to 800 contribution points each time.

Lin Changqing is a spiritual plant master, so the family gave him this benefit. This also proves the importance of mastering a skill from another side.

Grandpa and aunt already have the seeds of spiritual rice and spiritual medicine. There is no need to go to the General Affairs Hall to exchange them. Otherwise, it will cost another contribution point.

This year, Second Uncle happened to be on leave and didn't have to go to the monster hunting team. From now on, he would pick up and drop off Lin Changqing every day. It would be convenient when Lin Changqing reached the fourth level of Qi Refining and could fly by himself.

From now on, Lin Changqing's life will be more fulfilling. He will farm, practice, and also find time to read in the Sutra Library.

After the first day of the Chinese New Year, I started farming with Lin Changqing. After the fifth and sixth day of the Chinese New Year, I was in charge of the spiritual medicine garden and the herb garden. Of course, if my father and second uncle went out to hunt monsters, they would definitely take them with them. After all, they were raised for reconnaissance and early warning!

In this way, Lin Changqing's practice and life became regular again.

Days passed one by one, and soon a few months had passed, and it was time for his father's demon hunting team to set out again. Every time this happened, Lin Changqing was always uneasy. Fortunately, Chuwu was with him this year, so he felt a little more at ease.

Looking at the team going away, I can only hope that everyone returns safely.

There were also changes in the space. Lin Changqing had already found out that in the space, the essence-raising and birth-inducing technique only needed one day to be used again. The recovery effect of the space on the spiritual plants that had been accelerated was more than ten times that of the outside world.

Now, three months have passed, and the century-old red fruit tree has grown to a height of one person. It has entered the fruit-bearing period, and the 24 small green fruits on the tree are particularly cute and charming no matter how you look at them.

It will be ready in just over three months. Whenever he thought of this, Lin Changqing became excited and full of anticipation!
24 hundred-year-old red fruits equal 24000 contribution points! They mature once every six months and twenty days. It's crazy to think about it, but it's a pity that they can't be exchanged for the family. Otherwise, there's no way to explain the source.

I can only digest it within my family. But it's also good this way, it can help my family members to improve their cultivation quickly and reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining sooner.

Everyone has the opportunity to build a foundation. Thinking of this, Lin Changqing was very happy. He could finally repay his family a little.

This hundred-year-old red fruit is already considered a rare treasure. After all, it can at least improve the cultivation level of the Qi Refining Stage by one level, which is equivalent to shortening the cultivation time by several years to more than ten years.

Especially for the Qi Refining Period where Qi and blood decline at the age of 60, it is extremely important.

A family only needs 1000 contribution points to redeem one, which should be considered a benefit to the family members. And basically they will not be sold to the outside world, but will be consumed internally.

The space is still a little over one acre. If you plant spiritual medicine, you can plant 60 to 70 plants, but you can only plant 6 to 7 spiritual fruit trees. So Lin Changqing is not going to plant red fruit trees anymore, and he doesn't like ordinary spiritual medicines. He can only leave it empty for now.
