Chapter 29: The Death of Spiritual Plants (Please Collect and Read)
After the harvest, the next step is naturally to plow the soil and sow seeds.
Chen An looked at the hoe in his hand and threw it aside.
Directly activate spiritual power and perform earth-attracting technique.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, he saw that in the spiritual field, the soil within the range of spiritual power began to turn over on its own, as if an invisible hoe was silently working.
After a while, one acre of spiritual field had been turned over.
This is the power of the perfect level earth-drawing technique. Not only the spiritual power in the soil, but even the land can be manipulated within a certain range.
Chen An rolled up his sleeves and planted the seeds one by one. Of course, he did not forget the tortoise shell grass that the second elder had instructed him to plant last time, and he planted that as well.
Then he waved his hand and condensed a rain cloud. Drops of spiritual rain fell, moistening the soil and the seeds that had just been buried in the soil.
After finishing his work in the fields, Chen An left the formation and found the second elder.
Several elders have gone to look for opportunities, taking away most of the elite, leaving only the head of the family Chen Qing and the second elder Chen Rui to stay behind in the family.
The affairs hall was unattended, so the clan's spiritual plant acquisition naturally fell on Chen Rui's shoulders temporarily.
“Did you grow all this?”
Chen Rui observed the spiritual plant in front of him and couldn't help but be moved.
"Just harvested." Chen An told the truth.
Chen Rui's eyes were burning, the more he looked at Chen An, the more he liked him.
He just obtained a medium-quality spiritual field last year, and this year he produced crops of perfect quality. He is a genius in farming.
If his daughter had not had any spiritual roots and could not practice cultivation, he would have thought of taking Chen An as his son-in-law.
Chen Rui took out a storage bag, checked it, and threw it to Chen An.
"Remember to plant the tortoise shell leaves. This is related to spiritual fertilizer, so we can't be careless."
"The younger generation naturally saved the money and has already planted it."
Chen Rui nodded slightly: "I will be in seclusion for a while, don't disturb me if there is nothing important."
Retreat?
Chen An didn't ask any more questions. He said goodbye and left.
This time, he did not take out all the spiritual plants of perfect quality.
Even for an experienced spiritual plant grower, there will be at least three or five spiritual plants that die or are of poor quality and cannot be sold in one acre of land.
It was the first time to plant a medium-quality spiritual field. Not to mention the 30% perfect quality, the 100% survival rate alone was already astounding!
After all, it would be too outrageous to tell anyone about this, so it would be better to be cautious and reveal more after breaking through the fifth level of Qi training.
On the way back.
Chen An passed by a lower-grade spiritual field and went over to take a look.
The endless field of yellow rice is full of vitality and growing vigorously. It is already half a foot tall.
You can vaguely see a few tufts of weeds popping up, trying to overshadow the yellow rice.
Who would have thought that after only a few days, the spiritual fields had already begun to show signs of desolation? Who knew how many spiritual fields would eventually be able to be harvested by their owners?
He shook his head and looked towards Chen Fengshuo's field.
Among the several acres of spiritual fields full of weeds, the weeds in his field were the most lush, and it seemed that they had not been taken care of for many days.
Could it be that Chen Fengshuo also went to the ruins cave?
That day he just watched from afar and did not go forward. He did not know who from the family followed.
But when I think about it carefully, ever since he got the bronze ring last time, Chen Fengshuo has been acting mysterious and has been nowhere to be found.
Could it be that this guy really got some kind of opportunity?
For a moment, Chen An's expression showed a bit strange.
I went to the trade fair, but why didn’t I buy anything?
Thinking of Chen Fengshuo's silly smile on weekdays, he couldn't help but sigh, it's true that fools have good luck.
The spiritual field in front of the cave has sprouted. Chen An still planted half of the Qingying grass according to the previous ratio. This is his only way to harvest elixirs.
And since you can harvest perfect quality, naturally you need to plant more.
As for the task of planting tortoise shell leaves assigned by the second elder, he had originally planned to plant them, but he slightly adjusted the proportions and planted a few more plants.
Anyway, the Second Elder said there was no rush, so he could just plant it slowly.
After practicing every day, Chen An would take the time to draw a few Fire Snake Talismans and Earth Sinking Talismans. Although he didn't know when they would be used, it always hurts to have them ready.
But today, just as he took out the tools for making talismans, Chen Lun came to visit.
As soon as he came out of the formation, the other party grabbed his arm.
"Chen An! Something happened!"
"What's the matter? Speak slowly."
Chen An's heart skipped a beat, thinking that the Soul-Eating Rat had made a comeback.
"There's a green grass in my field. I don't know what happened. It's wilted. It looks like it's going to die."
Chen An was speechless and said, "It's just a Qingying grass. If it dies, it dies."
It is normal that every season there are a few magical herbs and medicines of poor quality.
"No, this time is different. It was fine yesterday, but when I went to the spiritual field this morning, it was almost dead."
Chen Lun would check the spiritual plants every morning and evening. If they were fine last night but wilted this morning, it meant that they died suddenly, not because of uneven spiritual energy or problems with the spiritual plant seeds themselves, which are common symptoms.
"I have found Chen Youliang and several other tribesmen, and we plan to study together what is going on."
Chen Lun and Chen Youliang were the best farmers among the ten.
Chen An was also very curious. How could a healthy spiritual plant become withered overnight?
He immediately followed Chen Lun and came to the other party's spiritual field.
As soon as I came in, I saw Chen Youliang and five others surrounding a green grass, pointing and expressing their opinions.
Of the top ten farming experts, three left on their family's flying boat, leaving seven of them.
"In my opinion, the spiritual energy of this Qingying grass is weak and it is beyond saving."
"I think we can still save it."
"How to rescue them? They are almost turning into dead grass. Please save one and let me see, so that everyone can open their eyes." Chen Youliang said unhappily.
The oldest, Chen Yuyi, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Don't worry about whether we can save it or not. Our purpose in coming here is to find out why the Qingying grass withered overnight."
"I think it's better to find out before it dies completely, so that you won't be caught in the dark if a similar situation occurs in your own field."
Chen Lun and Chen An came closer.
"Have you guys figured out why the Qingying grass withered?"
Chen Youliang touched a leaf of the green grass and said puzzledly, "The leaves are fine, it doesn't look like they have been infested by insects."
Although this green grass is withered and yellow, there are no signs of insect bites.
Chen Lun nodded: "It seems that he died of exhaustion of spiritual energy, but I just used the Spirit Rain Technique to nourish him the night before, which is strange."
Several people commented on it, but couldn't figure out what was going on.
Chen Maoxin said impatiently: "Why bother with so much trouble? I think we should just burn it. As long as it doesn't affect other spiritual plants, who cares what happens to it?"
Apart from Chen An, Chen Maoxin is the youngest cultivator among the group. He is young and energetic and can't stand procrastination.
Chen Lun on the side sighed: "If we can't find the cause of the disease, for the safety of other spiritual plants, this is the only way."
Just when they were at a loss, Chen An stepped forward and said, "Please wait, everyone. Let me take a look first."
