Chapter 24: Earth Sinking Talisman (Please collect and read)
In a blink of an eye, five days passed.

That day, the second elder sent someone to tell Chen An that the spiritual fertilizer had arrived.

Chen An ran out and saw that Wang Guanyu, the young master of the Wang family, was coming with a betrothal gift to propose marriage.

Many cultivators in the clan, regardless of gender, age or status, came out to watch.

Out of curiosity, Chen An also walked among the crowd and observed from afar.

A total of three people from the Wang family came, followed by two old men. Judging from their auras of the eighth and ninth levels of Qi training, they were most likely the elders of the Wang family.

As expected of a family with two elders who have established the foundation, the Wang family is much stronger than the Chen family’s elders who have reached the seventh or eighth level of Qi training.

Look at Wang Guanyu again, he is as his name suggests, with a face like a jade, star-like eyebrows and sword-like eyes, and a slender figure, but he is born with a good appearance.

Most of the unmarried girls who were eating melons around had rosy cheeks and looked like they were infatuated with each other.

"Humph! Just a pretty boy."

Chen Dazhuang snorted coldly and stared at Wang Guanyu with gritted teeth, wishing he could replace him.

"I think this guy is not as good-looking as Brother Chen An. At least he looks more manly than him."

Chen An, who was standing by, didn't say much when he heard this. He just thought that Chen Dazhuang was just jealous.

But it was just as Chen Dazhuang said, Chen An was also handsome, but slightly taller and more upright than Wang Guanyu. His skin was wheat-colored from years of farming, and perhaps because he had been exposed to the sun too much, he had a more masculine air.

But this is not the point.

The three members of the Wang family talked for a long time with the head of the Chen family and four elders. When they came out, the reception hall was full of people.

Among them, there was a curious person who directly painted a portrait of Wang Guanyu's face and even used spiritual power. The portrait was lifelike, just like a real person.

After showing it to Chen Zhilan, she stopped crying and making a fuss. She even asked people around about Wang Guanyu's deeds and actually became interested in him.

Chen An was shocked watching from the side. It turned out that Chen Dazhuang was just wishful thinking and Chen Zhilan had no feelings for Chen Dazhuang at all. Seeing how she stared at the portrait, it was hard to say whether she knew what Chen Dazhuang felt for her.

However, Wang Guanyu is the only son of the head of the Wang family, and no one competes with him for the position of head of the family. If Chen Zhilan marries him, it should be much better than staying in the family.

Wang Guanyu is a cultivator with low-grade spiritual roots, and Chen Zhilan also possesses low-grade spiritual roots. She is the daughter of the fourth elder of the Chen family, and she has a good appearance and figure, and is also a talisman master, so she is a good match for each other.

In the future, the two families will be in close contact and have more frequent exchanges. The issue of spiritual fertilizer will definitely not be a problem, and everyone will be happy.

The only one injured was probably Chen Dazhuang.

Chen An comforted Chen Dazhuang who was crying secretly, and called Chen Dengming. The three of them drank all night long and listened to Chen Dazhuang's sorrowful talk about his troubles all night long before they finally gave up.

Day two.

In the afternoon, Chen An woke up slowly.

He held his still dizzy head and practiced meditation for one or two weeks before the remaining alcohol in his body was dispelled.

Looking at the two people who were still unconscious, he shook his head gently, got up and left Chen Dazhuang's house.

On the way, he passed by the spiritual field and looked up.

Many spiritual farmers were dragging large bags of spiritual fertilizer and spreading it little by little into their own fields. The entire spiritual field was filled with a stinky smell.

Low-quality spiritual fertilizers are crudely made and inevitably have a residual smell of feces.

Chen An took a few glances, quickened his pace, and returned to his own spiritual field.

He had already obtained the medium-grade spiritual fertilizer after watching yesterday, a full 100 kilograms, which was more than enough for an acre of spiritual field.

It’s just that the price is a bit expensive, one spirit stone costs five kilograms, which is almost the same price as yellow sprout rice.

I don’t know what the Wang family’s spiritual beasts eat on a daily basis, but what they excrete is not feces, but spiritual stones!
However, this price is still within an affordable range. I believe that as the two companies have more frequent dealings in the future, the price should be slightly cheaper.

Chen An opened the bag of spiritual fertilizer. The spiritual fertilizer was granular and dark gray in color. It tasted much lighter than the lower-grade spiritual fertilizer.

He mobilized his spiritual power, put two fingers together, and the golden sword energy turned into a thread, which rolled up a bag of spiritual fertilizer, moved around in a circle, and evenly sprinkled it in the spiritual field.

Taking advantage of this time, Chen An waved his hand and a spiritual rain fell. The spiritual fertilizer dissolved in the water and seeped into the ground, moistening the soil of the entire spiritual field. [Golden Thorn Grass, a first-level medium-quality spiritual plant, the soil where it grows has just been moistened by spiritual fertilizer and is currently growing well]

After taking a quick look at the condition of the spiritual plant, Chen An brushed the dust off his hands. Done!
According to the books on spiritual plants in the library, if a first-grade medium-quality spiritual field wants to be upgraded to a high-quality one, it must be nourished with high-quality spiritual fertilizer every few months, and it must be fertilized five or six times before it can be advanced.

The only acre of top-quality spiritual field in the clan is in the hands of the second elder, who cultivates it personally.

I don’t know if I can talk to the Second Elder in the future and ask the Wang family to send more high-quality spiritual fertilizer.

I have to find an opportunity to talk to the Second Elder about this in the future.

Chen An thought to himself.

In the afternoon, Chen Lun returned from the market and brought him a lot of items.

There was a small bag of seeds, containing hundreds of them, all of which were of mid-grade first-grade quality, as well as various books on cultivating spiritual plants, anecdotes, and drawing talismans.

According to a rough estimate, it is worth nearly two hundred spirit stones.

After putting down the things and before leaving, Chen Lun gave her many instructions, telling her to look for him again if such a good thing happened again!
Chen An naturally agreed without hesitation.

Time flies.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, the Wang family had sent someone to pick up Chen Zhilan.

Before leaving, the little girl was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling for several days. It seemed that she was looking forward to marrying into the Wang family.

After being depressed for a few days, Chen Dazhuang picked himself up and studied the art of talismans every day.

Perhaps he was too devoted to his work, and before long, he had mastered the skills taught by the Third Elder and was able to try to make first-grade mid-quality talismans.

Seeing that he was in good condition, Chen An no longer cared.

With the careful care of the spiritual plants every day, a batch of first-grade medium-quality spiritual plants that were transplanted from the old courtyard have also matured.

As expected, Qingyingcao harvested Qi-nourishing Pills, three of ordinary quality, two of high quality, and one of perfect quality.

After being transplanted to the medium-quality spiritual field, the quality has improved a lot.

[Harvest a Fireweed Flower, get a bottle of Fire Blood Ink] *3
[Harvest a high-quality fireweed flower and obtain a blasting talisman]*2
[Harvest a perfect fireweed flower and obtain the secret recipe for making a fire snake charm]

The memories, experiences and insights about the making of the Fire Snake Talisman flooded into his heart. The making method of the Fire Snake Talisman and the brushwork of drawing the talisman flashed clearly in his mind.

Chen An paused suddenly, his expression showing some surprise.

Fire snake talisman?
A new talisman was planted again!

The Fire Snake Talisman is great. I relied on this talisman to defeat Liu Zhen last time.

I was itching to draw a few talisman papers and was about to go back to my house to test their power, but I found that I didn't have any first-grade mid-quality talisman paper.

Looking at the dozen or so mulberry trees that had grown lush branches and leaves, he felt that these mulberry trees could be used to make talisman paper and should also be able to harvest talisman paper from the light ball.

Waited patiently for a while.

The progress bar of the half-acre mulberry tree was gradually completed.

The ground mulberry tree is a specially cultivated spiritual plant that cannot produce mulberries. Its only use is to make talisman paper using its bark and leaves.

Looking at the woods in front of him, Chen An took out his magic sword and chopped down the green trees one by one.

[Harvest a ground mulberry tree, obtain ten first-grade medium-quality talisman papers] *20
[Harvest a high-quality ground mulberry tree and obtain a ground sinking talisman] *13
[Harvest a perfect ground root mulberry, obtain the secret book of making ground sinking talisman] *2
Another first-grade intermediate-quality talisman!
And it’s a control talisman!

The "experience" brought by the two perfect ground root mulberry trees directly enabled Chen An to master the ground sinking talisman to a proficient level!

Looking at the fifteen trees in front of him, Chen An was worrying about how to transport them next when Chen Dazhuang and Chen Dengming showed up outside the formation.

"Chen An, the elder asked us to get the ground root mulberry!"
