Protagonist:
Xu Changqing
【Cold Warm Grass】
(Requires summer planting; after Yin-Yang Harmonization it becomes Yin-Yang Grass, single plant worth approximately 5 Middle-grade Spirit Stones)
【Centipede Vine】
(A single plant can cover an entire Spirit Field; ripe fruit can refine pills, total value approximately 30 Middle-grade Spirit Stones)
【Four-leaf Clover】
(One leaf is Inferior, two leaves is Good, three leaves is Superior, four leaves is Extreme; single Extreme plant worth approximately 3 Low-grade Spirit Stones)
Xu Changqing lay on the chair, holding the 【Spirit Field Hundred Records】 in his hands.
After these days of flipping through it, he understood Spirit Fields more and more.
Although he was still very lacking in experience, he was no longer a complete novice who knew nothing.
"Woof woof!" At this moment, Wangwang barked toward the direction of the Spirit Field Ridge.
Xu Changqing raised his eyes and looked, discovering someone approaching.
When the other party drew near, it was a familiar face.
Who?
Han Su!
"Senior Brother, I'm here." Han Su wore a smile on his face.
Xu Changqing rose from the chair and went forward to greet him: "Still this fast."
Han Su laughed heartily and said: "Senior Brother looking for me, of course I'd come as fast as possible."
Xu Changqing pointed at the frozen-hard Spirit Field and said: "I just learned that turning the soil when the temperature is low can dig out the insect eggs inside and freeze them to death."
Although there is the Low-grade Array 【Gold Killing Array】 to kill insects.
But if we can save, we save.
After all, every activation consumes Spirit Stones and Metal Spiritual Power.
Especially causes wear to the Spirit Tools buried in the soil.
Doing it now can not only freeze the insect eggs to death, but also loosen the soil in advance.
Truly killing multiple birds with one stone.
"Good." Han Su didn't waste words either, decisively taking off his shoes.
The instant his soles contacted the frozen earth, he immediately shivered.
Just as Wood Spirit Roots suffer greatly in summer.
Earth Spirit Roots fear winter barefoot absorption of Earth Qi.
Because it is very easy to inhale Yin Cold Qi into the body at the same time, thereby causing damage.
Last year because of this reason, he had to go back and recuperate for several days.
Fortunately, after one year of bitter cultivation.
Especially continuously obtaining Second-grade Spirit Rice from Xu Changqing.
His strength had already broken through to Qi Refining Middle Stage.
Even the 【Earth Guide Art】 reached the Second Layer.
Not only was pressure resistance enhanced.
Physical constitution also improved slightly.
Now, although he still feared Yin Cold Qi equally, he was not as disheveled as before.
Xu Changqing suddenly remembered and hurriedly reminded: "The raised position in the middle of the Spirit Field is a Low-grade Array's Array Eye, you must not damage it."
Han Su blanked for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Good, Junior Brother remembers."
Never expected, Senior Brother Xu actually installed an Array.
You know, many Spirit Farmers who have joined Spirit Fields for several years cannot do this.
Worthy of being the only person I didn't misjudge!
Immediately, Han Su circulated the Second Layer 【Earth Guide Art】.
Bang!
Bang bang!
With the ground continuously trembling, the frozen-hard Black Soil cracked open.
Long-accumulated Yin Cold Qi gushed out.
While Han Su mobilized Earth Qi, he also inhaled it into his body.
Instantly, his originally still normal yellow face immediately turned pale.
His body even more emanated a faint, barely perceptible chill.
Xu Changqing saw it in his eyes, and secretly thought in his heart: "This kid has grown stronger."
Compared to the disheveled state of the first time.
This second time was much more composed.
Although in the following time, Han Su had to rest from time to time.
But the frequency was not as frequent as before.
Half an hour later, it was done.
Xu Zhangqing handed over a cup of Second-grade Spirit Rice Wine to warm the other party up, then said: "Same as before, we sign a Spirit Talisman Contract every quarter."
The somewhat trembling Han Su, after drinking the Spirit Rice Wine, felt his body warm up immediately; the Yin Cold Qi that had lingered stubbornly inside his body actually began to recede.
Therefore, when he saw the Spirit Talisman handed over, he did not take it.
"Hm?" Xu Zhangqing was puzzled.
Han Su hesitated, then took a deep breath: "Senior Brother, in one more year the Formal Disciple Competition will be held, I want to... give it a try!"
Xu Zhangqing shrugged: "I know, didn't we talk about this last time?"
Han Su shook his head, then asked with a nervous face: "What I mean is, can you lend me some Spirit Rice and this kind of Spirit Rice Wine?"
Xu Zhangqing frowned slightly, hesitating a little: "This..."
Han Su hurriedly said: "You might not know, the Spirit Rice ratio has dropped again."
During the New Year, First-grade Spirit Rice was 1:8.
Now, it has actually fallen to 1:5.
As for Second-grade Spirit Rice, it has even reached a terrifying 1:1.3.
Xu Zhangqing heard nothing outside the window, yet did not know how crazy it was outside.
Xing Nong, Talisman Master Group, Pills Alliance, Spirit Tool Workshop, Array Family.
These Five Great Powers don't even pretend anymore, forcing you to buy at high prices.
Xu Zhangqing asked noncommittally: "So what?"
Han Su said seriously: "Lend Junior Brother some Spirit Rice and Spirit Rice Wine, this year I'll do Earth Loosening for free."
Of course, the reason it's free is mainly because the Spirit Rice obtained from Xu Zhangqing.
The quality all reaches the highest, that is, supreme grade.
Spiritual Energy content is extremely abundant, greatly beneficial for cultivation.
Xu Zhangqing looked at the other party's eyes, both careful and sincere, for a good while before asking: "How much do you want to borrow?"
Han Su's eyes brightened, he said excitedly: "500 jin of Second-grade Spirit Rice, 50 jin of this Spirit Rice Wine!"
Xu Zhangqing heard this and frowned again: "You might not be clear, although I have over two thousand jin output every quarter, the stock on hand is not much."
"Ah?" Han Su was stunned.
Xu Zhangqing asked: "You should know Li Lingbi, right?"
Han Su nodded subconsciously: "Know him, the Three Spirit Roots genius of Yu Shui Pavilion."
Xu Zhangqing spread his hands, helpless: "Every quarter I have to supply Li Lingbi with several hundred jin of Second-grade Spirit Rice, so I really can't produce these 500 jin."
"Hiss." Han Su sucked in a cold breath.
Before this, he had thought of many possibilities.
All kinds of excuses had been anticipated.
But he never dreamed, even in his dreams, that Senior Brother Xu would actually have a connection with a genius like Li Lingbi.
That is the current Core Disciple of Yu Shui Pavilion.
One of the wind-and-cloud figures of the entire 【Dongting Immortal Sect】.
Heard he is about to break through to Golden Core Stage.
To tell the truth, in his heart there was a bit of disbelief.
Xu Zhangqing seemed to perceive the other's doubt, and immediately said: "No need to use this to deceive you!"
Hearing this, Han Su hurriedly waved his hands: "No no no... Junior Brother believes."
"Believe or not doesn't matter, anyway I can't produce 500 jin." Xu Zhangqing didn't care at all.
After a moment of struggle, Han Su asked: "How many jin can you produce now?"
Xu Zhangqing thought a moment and said: "250 jin."
Two lives as a human, he deeply knows what is called 'a bushel of rice earns gratitude, a peck of rice earns enmity'.
Today the other party borrows 500 jin, next time it might be 1000 jin.
Later refusing again, very likely to turn hostile.
"250 jin works too." Han Su had mental preparation long ago.
Xu Zhangqing immediately said: "These 250 jin are not all at once, but first give Junior Brother 100 jin, after Spring ends, give the other 150 jin."
Although Han Su was somewhat surprised, he still said with tears of gratitude: "Senior Brother willing to lend is already an enormous favor."
Xu Zhangqing added: "Spirit Rice Wine also not 50 jin, at most 20 jin."
"No problem." Han Su was already completely satisfied.
Outside, however many people want to borrow can't borrow.
Can only brace themselves and go buy high-priced Spirit Rice.
Right then, Xu Zhangqing lent Han Su 100 jin of Second-grade Spirit Rice, 20 jin of Second-grade Spirit Rice Wine.
But signed a Spirit Talisman Contract for borrowing 250 jin of Second-grade Spirit Rice, 20 jin of Second-grade Spirit Rice Wine.
Doing this might hurt Han Su's feelings.
But Xu Zhangqing felt it was necessary.
After all, being a person must be a bit realistic!!!
