Chapter 14: The Black Nematode Returns (Please Collect and Read)
Chen An walked forward with excitement.

He looked at the lush green jade pine needles, and finally his gaze fell on the pine cone closest to him, and he reached out and plucked one.

[Harvest a pine cone and get a piece of green wood core]

[Harvest a high-quality pine cone and get a drop of jade pine essence]

[Harvest a perfect pine cone and obtain Aoki Isao]

As the experience and insights of the Qingmu Gong technique emerged in his heart, Chen An finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought that after advancing to the Green Jade Pine, I would not be able to gain any more proficiency in the martial arts, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

There are a total of nine perfect quality pine cones on the tree. Although there are fewer "experience packages" for the skills, the quality has increased.

After this, Aoki Isao was directly promoted to minor success!

Chen An was in a very good mood as he could clearly feel the Qingmu Gong running more smoothly in his meridians.

Now, the speed of cultivation can be greatly increased.

You must practice Qi to the fourth level before the New Year!
early morning.

"Hey, Chen An, you got up so early."

As soon as he walked out of the hospital, Chen An met Chen San. He had his arm on the shoulder of a man in his twenties next to him, like a good brother.

"I'll go take a look at the spiritual field."

Chen An replied, his eyes falling on the man, who was at the fourth level of Qi training, had an ordinary appearance, but a pair of clear and bright eyes that attracted quite a lot of attention.

Chen San patted the man on the shoulder and introduced him, "This is He Yong. A few days ago, I went to the Hengduan Mountains with a few friends who were casual cultivators to hunt monsters. We encountered a Liefeng beast, which almost took my life. Fortunately, Brother He and I teamed up to kill it, so I was able to come back alive."

Chen An's heart trembled, and he bowed and said, "Thank you, Daoist Fellow He, for saving the lives of my Chen family members."

"No, no, it's just a small favor. We, the lower-level monks, should support each other more."

He Yong waved his hand, his smile warming everyone's heart.

After chatting for a while, I learned that He Yong was a man who had accidentally gained a chance to become an immortal from the mortal world. He was on his way to Qingyun Market and saved Chen San on the way. At Chen San's invitation, he came to stay in the family for a few days as a way for Chen San to repay him for saving his life.

Chen An was not interested in the gay relationship between the two, so after saying goodbye, he went to the spiritual field.

Five days later.

Chen An walked out of the room and habitually checked the status of the spiritual values ​​in the courtyard one by one.

[Qingying Grass, a first-level medium-quality spiritual plant, has black nematodes and is in poor condition. It is recommended to remove it in time.]

Chen An, who was originally in high spirits, felt a chill in his heart after seeing this message.

He hurriedly checked the status of other spiritual plants.

Only two plants of green grass were attacked by black nematodes, the others were fine for the time being.

Qingying Grass is the spiritual plant that Chen An values ​​the most. He immediately used the Insect Hunting Technique in a hurry and followed the signs of the flow of spiritual energy. He quickly found the location of the black nematode.

This little magic formula was not difficult to practice and consumed very little spiritual energy. He had found it by chance in a book about spiritual insects during his recent frequent visits to the library.

It is a technique specifically designed to find black nematode larvae, a type of parasitic insect that is extremely difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Chen An did not hesitate at the moment. He put his right hand fingers together and a golden sword energy shot out, turning into a silk thread and drilling into the green grass.

Soon, a translucent, hair-thin insect was expelled from the stems and leaves.

Chen An frowned and used his sword energy to grind it into powder.

Only after clearing the second plant did Chen An breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, his Gengjin Sword Finger has already been mastered to a small extent, otherwise, not only would he be infested with insects, but he would also have to spend spirit stones to hire someone to get rid of the insects.

After recovering a little of his spiritual strength, Chen An stood up, hurried out of the courtyard and headed towards the spiritual field.

My house is infested with black nematodes, and I don’t know what the situation is like in the spiritual fields.

When he reached the edge of the field, he rushed into the field.

"Fortunately, only four yellow sprout rice plants were damaged, so there is no major problem."

The Xiaocheng Gengjin Sword Finger consumed a lot of energy. Chen An sat cross-legged on the ground to recover his spiritual power, and only then was he able to drive out all the pests in the field.

He waved his hand and condensed a rain cloud, drops of spiritual rain poured down, nourishing the spiritual plants that had just lost nutrients. "Oh, how come we have black nematodes again!"

Chen Fugui's helpless voice came from next door.

Chen An, who had just recovered his spiritual power, walked over after hearing this.

After a quick inspection, he found that the pests in Chen Fugui's spiritual field had grown earlier than his and had already turned light gray.

"We just eradicated the pest last time, why are they back again? It's never been like this before."

Once the black nematodes are cleaned up, they generally won’t regenerate within a year.

"I don't know who the hell is going on. I'm afraid the insects in the field haven't been driven away completely."

Looking at the worried-looking Chen Fugui, Chen An's mind moved: "Do you need me to help you get rid of the insects?"

"You? How long have you been farming? Have you mastered the Gengjin Sword Finger yet? Don't make trouble here. Go check the situation in your own fields."

Chen Fugui waved his hands, looking impatient.

Chen An did not argue. He put his fingers together and a golden thread wrapped around them, flying up and down like a small snake, looking quite flexible.

"Ah? Xiaocheng Gengjin Sword Finger, how old is this kid!"

Chen Fugui's eyes widened as he looked at the slightly childish face of the baby in front of him, and then at the silk threads formed by the sword energy flying up and down. He felt that the experience of most of his life was not enough.

"One acre of land, two spirit stones!"

Last time, Chen An also gave two spirit stones to the black nematodes in the field.

"That's good."

Chen Fugui nodded in agreement. This was usually the price.

Chen An rubbed his hands and began to look for black nematodes one by one.

He did not develop spiritual awareness, but fortunately the black nematodes in the field had already taken on a faint color, which saved him the effort of using the Insect-Seeking Technique to find their location.

a long time.

Chen An finally finished working on this acre of spiritual field.

Chen Fugui also checked each plant carefully to confirm that the pests had been eliminated.

He returned to Chen An and took out two spirit stones with a look of surprise.

"You little kid, you have really mastered a skill. I heard from the elder that there is a good farmer in the tribe. I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be you!"

He had some doubts when he sold the spiritual rice last time, and this time he was even more certain.

"It's just a coincidence. I was just practicing casually. By the way, if you need pest control work next time, remember to look for me."

After earning the spirit stones, Chen An did not stay long. He left after saying a few words.

It was the first time that I used the Gengjin Sword to kill insects and earn spirit stones. Although there were only two pieces, it still felt somewhat fresh.

But it didn't take long for the novelty to wear off.

Chen An practiced at home for two hours and then went out to the library to read.

I have been visiting here frequently recently and have gained a lot of knowledge and experience.

The insect-finding technique I used before was discovered by chance here, otherwise it would have been quite a hassle to get rid of the insects today.

Chen An read until the sun set and the light in the building gradually dimmed, and he slowly stood up.

He has read more than half of the books in the library.

The rest are all of similar content, or are some compiled scripts for entertainment purposes only.

It seems that I don't need to come here in the future unless the Great Elder can enrich his collection of books.

After leaving, Chen An was not idle when he returned home. He first took care of the spiritual plants in the yard, drew a few talismans, and exhausted his spiritual energy.

While the spiritual energy in Dantian was empty, he went to the quiet room, sat on the cushion, swallowed a Qi-nourishing pill, and started today's practice schedule again.
