Chapter 91 Assembly Line
"call--"
Fang Chen exhaled, opened his eyes, and looked up at the sky. The sun's rays shone through the open roof.
Since Xu Qiyun reported to him the division of labor among the residents of the Fairy City, the sun and the moon in the sky have rotated four times.
During the four days when he had nothing to do, he practiced.
The results are also very gratifying. The fourth pair of acupoints of the Shaoyang Meridian of Hand, Yangchi acupoints, were opened up.
However, considering that there are twenty-three pairs of acupoints in the entire Shaoyang Meridian of the Hand, this achievement does not seem so exciting.
"You still need the help of elixirs."
In fact, not only the elixir, but also the first batch of spiritual grains planted will take four months to harvest. If there is the help of spiritual grains, the speed of cultivation will be much faster.
“However, although the first-grade lower-quality spiritual valley has an effect on the entire Qi training period, it would be better if there were a first-grade middle-quality or even a first-grade upper-quality spiritual valley.”
Walking to the balcony, Fang Chen was thinking secretly as he looked at the spiritual valley outside the bamboo building that had grown to his knee height.
The spiritual grain seeds that Lianyunfang City is willing to sell, including the spiritual grain seeds that Fang Chen himself made using the spiritual energy affinity characteristics, are all of the first-grade lower quality and mature once every six months.
Spiritual grains of the first-grade medium quality and above are considered strategic materials and are a secret that is not passed down by major immortal sects and even large immortal cultivation families.
They don't sell seeds to the public, but they do sell the finished product at a very high price.
Wang Changlin said that in Lianyunfang City, first-grade mid-quality spiritual grains would be put up for small auctions.
Moreover, there are no spiritual valleys of the first-grade intermediate quality or above in the Xingyue Sea.
That's an island with scarce land resources. The magic cultivators rarely grow spiritual grains, but instead grow spiritual plants of higher value.
As for the food of mortals, it all depends on fish.
Therefore, the spiritual valleys mentioned by ordinary cultivators are all referring to the first-grade, low-grade spiritual valleys, just like the spiritual stones commonly referred to are all low-grade spiritual stones.
Being of the same lower grade of the first rank, Qi Gathering Powder has no effect on cultivators above the fourth level of Qi training. However, even cultivators who have reached the great perfection of Qi training can still rely on the Spirit Valley to hone their cultivation.
This is due to the different characteristics of the two.
Most of the spiritual plants needed for refining pills are medicinal materials. As the saying goes, "all medicines are three-quarters poisonous." This toxicity cannot be completely removed during the pill-refining process, so there will often be pill poison in the pills.
However, as long as the benefits brought by the elixir outweigh the harm caused by the elixir poison, the elixir can be used to assist in practice.
After all, erysipelas can be excreted from the body.
However, after reaching the middle stage of Qi training, the benefits of Qi Gathering Powder were far less than the harm caused by Dan Du, so it lost its usefulness.
However, there is no toxicity in the spiritual valley, nor are there impurities like in the grains of the mortal world, so it can be completely absorbed by the cultivators.
Therefore, all monks can eat it.
It only takes the time of an incense stick to eat a portion of spiritual grain at most, but it can save half an hour of time in absorbing spiritual energy, which is extremely beneficial.
It is only after the foundation is established that the spiritual thoughts are transformed into spiritual consciousness, and the absorption of spiritual energy far exceeds that of consuming all the first-level spiritual grains. There is no benefit from consuming spiritual grains.
As for the second-level spiritual valley, it is rumored to have existed in ancient times, but it was gradually lost later.
In addition to spiritual grains, spiritual tea, spiritual fruits, and spiritual vegetables also have similar effects and can be used together with spiritual grains to improve cultivation.
But to complete this set, a lot of spirit stones are needed.
What's more, after reaching the foundation-building stage, cultivators can already practice fasting, and their demand for food is greatly reduced.
The decline of the profession of spiritual chef is also related to this.
On Fang Chen's side, the spiritual tea, spiritual fruits and spiritual vegetables are enough for his own use, but compared to spiritual grains, the spiritual energy contained in these three is not much.
In other words, these three do not take up much time to eat, so they can be used as supplements.
"To cultivate new spiritual plants, I cannot rely solely on my ability. This ability has a cooldown period, and it also takes up my time for cultivation. I still have to train spiritual plant husbands and let them hybridize the spiritual plants."
Fang Chen can basically confirm that his abilities are related to his genes, so letting the spiritual plant farmers use hybridization to cultivate new spiritual plants is also a feasible idea.
The biological knowledge of the two worlds is not necessarily exactly the same, but there are some commonalities.
Fang Chen has already given Xu Qiyun some pointers and told him about the hybridization method. He doesn't need to worry about the rest and just needs to wait patiently for the results.
These spiritual plant husbands used to be farmers in the mortal world who had been dealing with farmland all their lives.
These people knew better how to implement it than he who only knew the theory.
All he has to do is provide an idea.
Just like he has always been an inspiration to Lin Qingshan.
"Boom-"
Just as Fang Chen was thinking, there was another knock on the door.
"Enter."
The person who walked in from outside was Lin Qingshan.
"City Lord, I hope I didn't disturb you."
Seeing Fang Chen on the balcony, Lin Qingshan also walked over, bowed, and said with a happy face.
"Originally I wanted to say yes, but seeing how happy you are, I guess no."
When facing Lin Qingshan, Fang Chen didn't need to put on airs and just made a joke.
"Hehe, there is a reason why I am happy. The method of refining the jade slip you mentioned before has been completed. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Lin Qingshan was indeed very happy. Fang Chen had assigned this task to him more than ten days ago, and now it was finally completed.
Most importantly, after seeing the efficiency of this method, he realized that nothing could stop the rise of Yuehua Immortal City.
Unless he encounters an enemy that he cannot afford to offend and comes to Jueling Swamp to seek revenge. That is why, as the person in charge of all matters related to the formations in Yuehua Immortal City, he is designing a huge protective formation.
According to his idea, this protective formation has an infinite number of array centers, and each array center is equivalent to a low-grade magic weapon.
In this way, as long as the number is large enough, no matter how high the cultivation level of the incoming cultivator is, they can be defended.
Normally, this kind of formation is impossible to set up. With so many low-grade magic weapon-level formation eyes, even if you treat the weapon refiners like animals, they still can't be refined.
But if we follow Fang Chen's refining ideas, everything will be possible.
Moreover, when the residents of this fairy city reach the middle stage of Qi training, they can upgrade the center of the formation to the level of a mid-grade magic weapon.
Based on the planting area of Ganoderma lucidum, Lin Qingshan estimated the amount of Qi Gathering Disperse in Yuehua Fairy City in the future, and this process would not take long.
Ultimately, it all depends on Fang Chen.
Not only is there this idea of refining magic tools, there are also the one hundred Moon Spirit Pines, the two hundred Moon Spirit Herbs distributed on the balconies of the bamboo building, and the one hundred Moon Spirit Herbs in the training field on the top floor.
Provides sufficient spiritual energy for Yuehua Fairy City.
Without these spiritual energies, everything is in vain.
A Moon-Glory Spiritual Pine tree is directly equivalent to a first-grade low-grade spiritual vein.
Lin Qingshan considered himself to be knowledgeable. When he followed the direct disciple of the Blood Demon Palace, he learned many secrets of the cultivation world.
But he had never seen anything like this before.
And Fang Chen seemed to be able to take out such a precious spiritual plant at will.
Now recalling it, it seems that there is much more than that, including Blood Spirit Bone Vine, Body-Forging Blood Vine, Blood God Vine, and Boundary Bridge Spirit Bamboo.
There is also the ethereal grass with five elements attributes that he has never heard of.
Lin Qingshan had long suspected that Fang Chen might have some treasure in his hands that could cultivate powerful spiritual plants. Now that he thought about it, he was almost certain of it.
"Of course I have to go and take a look, but why did you suddenly freeze in place just now? What were you thinking about?"
Fang Chen's voice pulled Lin Qingshan out of his thoughts. He realized that he was still communicating with him and said quickly, "Sorry, I was distracted. I was mainly thinking about setting up a more complete defense formation for Yuehua Immortal City."
"Is that so? Then I'll trouble you. Please take me to see them refining the jade slips for transmitting messages."
In fact, Fang Chen didn't mind Lin Qingshan's distraction at all, but when he heard him talk about what he was thinking about, he also felt it was necessary.
Yuehua Fairy City now has a large protective formation.
It was built together with the bamboo house.
But according to Lin Qingshan, this formation can only withstand cultivators who have reached the great perfection of Qi training.
The outside of the Jueling Swamp is still a natural barrier, but Yuehua Fairy City must eventually expand outward, just like the patrol police, they cannot wait until something happens before trying to remedy the situation.
Of course he wouldn't blame Lin Qingshan for having such an idea.
But at present, he is more concerned about the assembly line production method and what effect it can achieve.
"Let's go, they're on the fourteenth floor."
Lin Qingshan gathered his mind and walked in front to lead the way.
The entire bamboo building has a total of fifteen floors above the railings. The railings are the first floor, and the top floor where Fang Chen is located is the sixteenth floor.
The fourteenth floor is naturally below the floor where Lin Qingshan and Xu Qiyun live.
When choosing rooms, this floor was the topmost floor that residents of the fairy city could choose, but everyone thought climbing stairs was too tiring and did not choose it.
What's more, this place is too close to the top, and they were afraid of bumping into Lin Qingshan and Fang Chen at that time.
Now it is just right to be used as a production site for alchemy, weapon refining and talisman making.
"There are carpenters in these rooms. Currently, all items in Yuehua Fairy City are made of plants. For example, the jade slips are made of water bamboo, and the jade slips for external transactions are made of ordinary bamboo. They are responsible for processing them into uniform shapes."
After arriving at the fourteenth floor, all the rooms were open, and Lin Qingshan introduced them to Fang Chen one by one.
"Lord City Lord, Lord Deputy City Lord."
When they saw the two people, the carpenters did not stop their work, but just greeted them.
"Ah."
Fang Chen and the other man nodded in response, and Lin Qingshan continued, "In the public area over there, blacksmiths and potters are processing the White Cloud Spirit Grass and Spirit Source Beans to refine them into talisman paper and spirit ink."
"You let the blacksmiths and potters do this?"
After hearing this, Fang Chen couldn't help but complain.
"There's no other way. Xiancheng has no iron ore or clay. We have to assign them some tasks first."
Lin Qingshan also shrugged his shoulders. After the division of labor in Xiancheng, it was impossible to let some people sit idle, as that would affect their contributions.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go to the room responsible for engraving the prohibition."
This problem could not be solved in a short time, so he did not give Fang Chen too much time to think and took Fang Chen to the next place.
Unlike the carpenter's room where several people share one room, the people who engrave the ban each have a room.
Everyone held their breath and concentrated on engraving restrictions or drawing spell runes, and did not notice Lin Qingshan and Fang Chen who had quietly arrived.
After watching for a while, Lin Qingshan pulled Fang Chen away again, to a place where he would not disturb these people, and then spoke: "It takes only two quarters of an hour to refine a pair of jade slips for transmitting messages. In the past, I would definitely think it was nonsense."
"Well done."
Looking at the somewhat proud Lin Qingshan, Fang Chen praised him generously.
Lin Qingshan chuckled and said, "Don't rush to praise me. I have modified the mother-child communication jade slip. City Lord, do you want to guess what new function I added?"
