Chapter 39 Big Development

"What's your name?"

After everyone entered the first level of Qi Refining with the help of Chennian Linggu, Fang Chen turned his attention to the descendant of the Immortal Dynasty with the best comprehension.

He had just finished his training at this time, so Fang Chen came over to ask.

"Son of the Emperor, no, Lord, my name is Xu Qiyun."

Xu Qiyun looked older than Lin Qingshan, probably around sixty years old. However, since he had just started practicing Qigong, he was in good spirits.

The moment he saw Fang Chen, he blurted out the title "Sir Emperor's Son".

But he soon remembered that at noon today, Fang Chen directly denied the so-called emperor's son's statement and asked everyone to call him lord to show that the Jueling Swamp was his territory.

Xu Qiyun could understand this. The identity of the emperor's son would arouse too much hatred among the immortals, so concealing his identity was a wise move.

"You have a good understanding. What did you do before?" Fang Chen asked curiously.

"My Lord, before this disaster, I had been working as a doctor in a county town. Many of the theories in this practice match those in medical books, so I was one step ahead of others."

Xu Qiyun looked at Fang Chen with eyes full of admiration and replied.

"I see."

Fang Chen nodded slightly. This statement was also reasonable. However, after thinking about it, he asked again: "As a doctor, how could you become a refugee with them?"

Logically speaking, in the mortal world, doctors are high-level talents who are knowledgeable and know how to cure diseases and save lives. Even if the flood affects the county town, they can easily find jobs in places that are not affected by the disaster.

For example, Qingshi City is a fairly prosperous city, and the pharmacies there would definitely not mind having one more doctor.

This is obviously somewhat unreasonable.

That's why Fang Chen asked this question.

"My Lord, you may not know that because of this flood, I have developed a chronic illness and often cough. The medicine shop in Qingshi City thinks this is unlucky and is unwilling to take me in."

Xu Qiyun did not hide anything and told his experience in detail.

This explanation is very reasonable. Indeed, if the doctor in a pharmacy keeps coughing, it is hard not to doubt his ability, which in turn affects the business of the pharmacy.

"In fact, it's not just me. The descendants of the Immortal Dynasty who were saved by you, Lord, all had some illnesses. That's why we were left behind, drinking relief food mixed with sawdust until we died quietly one night."

Seeing that Fang Chen seemed to accept this statement, Xu Qiyun sighed and continued.

As a doctor, and having lived with these refugees day and night, he knew their situation very well.

For example, if the carpenter has a problem with his arm, it will tremble whenever he exerts force. As a carpenter, this makes it impossible for him to do many delicate jobs.

So I was left here, in a similar situation to him.

"Then you should be happy. Once you start practicing, this minor ailment will disappear. You won't have a cough now, right?"

Fang Chen actually understood this situation. Lin Qingshan had already told him about it, so it was not a big deal.

This kind of mortal disease will automatically heal after becoming a monk, unless it is a psychological problem.

"Indeed, there is no more. Thank you, Lord. Praise you, Lord!"

Xu Qiyun placed his left hand on the pulse of his right hand and felt it carefully for a few times. He found that his cough had indeed healed. He couldn't help but praise Fang Chen's kindness.

"Thank you, Lord. Praise you, Lord!"

The people around didn't know what was going on, but they all followed Xu Qiyun in praising him.

“People’s hearts can be used.”

Looking at them like this, Lin Qingshan said with a smile.

Fang Chen also agreed with this.

Silent all night.

After breakfast the next day, Fang Chen divided the fifty-three groups of people on the scene into two parts. Thirty-three groups stayed to continue building bamboo houses, and the remaining twenty groups followed him to cultivate the land.

A cultivator at the first level of Qi training can take care of five mu of spiritual farmland. Fang Chen now has 424 descendants of the Immortal Dynasty under his command, which translates to being able to take care of 2,120 mu of spiritual farmland, which is about 1.5 square kilometers of land.

Considering that some water conservancy facilities need to be built between the fields, as well as roads for people to walk on, and after the spiritual grains are planted, not much care is required.

So in fact, the first batch of spiritual fields that can be planted is far more than 2,120 acres.

Therefore, Fang Chen's first step was to clear out an area with a radius of one thousand meters centered on the bamboo building.

In this way, a sufficient number of spiritual fields can be cultivated.

The spiritual field mentioned here is not the real spiritual field that contains a lot of spiritual energy in the land, but a broader concept.

That is, a field planted with spiritual plants.

The spiritual fields under the management of Lianyunfang City are all spiritual fields in a broad sense.

A true first-grade lower-quality spiritual field can double the growth rate of first-grade lower-quality spiritual plants. After the grade is upgraded, the effect will be even stronger, and it can also be effective for higher-grade spiritual plants.

However, if one wants to obtain a real spiritual field, one must either have the help of a geomancer or practice the Earth Spirit Spell to perfection or above.

The tradition of geomancers has long been cut off in the world of cultivation. Perhaps some of them still exist in the big sects, but they will never make it public.

As for practicing the Earth Spirit Spell to perfection, it is also an extremely difficult task.

Among ten people who practice the Earth Spirit Spell, only one can reach the mastery level. It only takes a little bit of talent and diligent practice.

However, among ten thousand people who are proficient in the Earth Spirit Spell, there may not be one who can reach the level of perfection.

At this point, it has nothing to do with how many times you practice. It all depends on talent and opportunity, both of which are indispensable.

Once someone is able to achieve this, it will inevitably cause a mad rush among various sects, and then the rest of their lives will be spent creating spiritual fields.

It is precisely because Lianyunfang City is full of spiritual fields in a broad sense that people like Fang Chen who are proficient in earth spirit spells are needed to replenish the spiritual energy of the fields regularly.

Real spiritual fields do not need to do this at all. They can complete the cycle of spiritual energy with heaven and earth on their own, and only need to be replenished with nutrients regularly.

This was something Fang Chen learned from various sources after he decided to become the local landlord. Even the original owner was not very clear about it.

Fang Chen retracted his scattered thoughts and focused his attention back on the present.

A radius of one thousand meters may not sound like a lot, but clearing out all the soul-killing mosses and their spores is not an easy task.

Fortunately, Fang Chen had also made preparations in advance.

"This is a talisman of the Red Sun Technique. It can illuminate an area within a three-meter radius for one hour. During this hour, you must keep turning over the soil in the swamp until the spiritual energy spreads over. Do you understand?"

Looking at the twenty groups standing neatly, Fang Chen took out the talisman of the Red Sun Technique, which he had drawn while working overtime last night.

"Yes, Lord Lord!"

In just two days, through food incentives and identity recognition, Fang Chen's reputation in their hearts has almost reached its peak, and naturally there is a great response to what he has told them.

"very good."

Seeing how excited they were, Fang Chen distributed the Red Sun Technique Talisman to them.

In this way, these descendants of the Immortal Dynasty will be able to completely kill the spores of the Jueling moss in the soil through high temperatures, just like Fang Chen did when he first arrived at the Jueling Swamp.

Let this spiritual land be covered with spiritual energy.

"The three groups that have reclaimed the most land will get an extra meal in the evening!"

After everything was ready, Fang Chen provided them with new motivation.

"My lord is wise!"

The grand development of the Jueling Swamp thus kicked off.
