Chapter 283: Layered Armor

As time passed, the weather became colder.

Ten days later, the yellow sprout rice was harvested. Chen Mu looked at the five bags of yellow sprout rice in front of the wooden house and sighed.

"If we were in Tongtianhe Lower Courtyard, we would be able to harvest more than 1,700 kilograms of yellow rice from these five acres of land."

"Look at me now, I'm thankful to be able to weigh 600 pounds!"

Old man Yang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, put down the black clay pot that was half a man's height: "Just be satisfied."

As he spoke, he glanced around, then pointed at the hillside behind Chen Mu with his chin.

"This neighbor of yours has more than eight acres of land and can't even harvest five hundred kilograms!"

Chen Mu couldn't help but gasped: "Then he has to give nearly twenty white jade coins to the House of Commons to deduct the land rent?"

"That's not true. Half of the wages earned from pioneering wasteland for half a year will be paid back in one go. Tsk tsk..." Old Man Yang shook his head and lifted the cotton cloth on the black clay pot.

The sound of crawling insects could be heard.

Chen Mu immediately took two steps back in disgust.

"It's not like you haven't seen it before, so you are afraid of a ball." Old Man Yang said angrily: "These little babies are so cute!"

Chen Mu shuddered: "Not everyone has your strange habit."

Buzz buzz...

The gray insect swarms are like waves in the shallows, rolling and rushing towards the yellow bud rice field. The dead and yellow branches and leaves were quickly crushed and backfilled.

"This year's harvest is not good. If you have spare money, you'd better stock up on more yellow sprout rice." Old Man Yang advised.

After thinking for a while, he whispered: "If you grow your own crops, you can also intercept more water."

Chen Mu nodded secretly, deeply convinced.

After returning from land reclamation, he specially used feed spring water for emergency irrigation and rescue, and only harvested more than 100 kilograms per mu.

Others who are completely ignored will probably be even worse.

A bad harvest of yellow bud rice is inevitable.

If the harvest fails, prices may become more expensive.

…

evening.

Chen Mu sat under the window on the east side of the wooden house. In front of him were five gray cloth bags as high as his knees. Each bag contained a hundred kilograms of yellow rice.

"Stay short."

After sending Old Man Yang away, Chen Mu immediately went to Lengyuefang Grain Store.

Huangya rice is still a hundred catties of white jade, but each person can only buy two hundred catties.

Including the 300 jins intercepted, he only had 500 jins in hand. Enough to last him for three months at most.

"I feel uneasy."

…

The next day, Chen Mu came to Lengyuefang Grain Store again.

"Two pieces of white jade for one hundred pounds?" Chen Mu raised his eyebrows. The price increased so quickly? !

"Give me two hundred catties!" He didn't dare to hesitate. Who knew whether the price would continue to rise tomorrow.

"I can't buy it. Your purchase amount for this month is already full." The shorthand guy in gray casually handed the ID badge to Chen Mu and sent Chen Mu away with a wave of his hand.

"Isn't there only a limit on the purchase quantity?" Chen Mu was surprised.

"New regulations. Each person can buy up to two hundred catties per month."

"Let's go quickly, the people behind are still buying." The guy in gray looked impatient.

Are all the grain store guys so arrogant now?

It's completely a seller's market.

Chen Mu, who was squeezed out of the grain store, felt his heart sink when he saw more and more people buying grain.

I just finished harvesting yellow bud rice yesterday, and it’s so expensive now.

There is still one year until next year's autumn harvest. How expensive will this rice be in the second half of next year?

Half an hour later.

Chen Mu carried the bacon made from the leg of an unknown alien animal and walked out of the butcher shop expressionlessly.

The price of exotic meat has also increased.

A piece of white jade weighs five kilograms. This bacon leg cost him nine pieces of white jade. In the past, it was only four pieces at most.

"The lower courtyard is still as dark as ever!" Chen Mu curled his lips.

This year we will open up mountains and open up wasteland, and we will pay a lot of wages.

But now the prices are getting higher and higher. After going around and around, the white jade money sent out returns to the lower house.

"There are great talents in the General Affairs Council!"

Although he is not short of money now. But I was really unwilling to be forced to eat high-priced grain and meat.

"Still less prepared."

When I first came to Pengyue Mountain, I should have stocked up on rice and meat!

"Who would have thought that it would take half a year to open up wasteland." Chen Mu was annoyed.

He originally wanted to wait for the yellow sprout rice to be harvested and then stock up on the yellow sprout rice he grew.

pity……

…

In the next few days, Chen Mu went to Leng Yuefang many times.

Whether it is the lower courtyard rice shop butcher shop or the free market in Lengyuefangdong, the price of rice and meat has increased.

The good thing is that although it has doubled, it has not continued.

The bad thing is that although it is not rising now, no one can say whether it will not rise in the second half of the year.

"Who would have thought that eating would become a problem after everyone began to seek Taoism and practice immortality."

He glanced at the huge sum of more than 20,000 white jade in Wugui's bag. Chen Mu felt slightly relieved. At least he can still afford it.

"My arms can't hold my thighs. There's nothing I can do. Just practice with peace of mind."

The weather is getting colder, the land needs cultivation, and hunting has been completed. The entire Pengyue Mountain, like the woods that are gradually turning yellow and quiet, slowly calms down.

Chen Mu also had enough time to gain experience.

…

A month later, the wooden porch in front of the wooden house.

Chen Mu was lying in the rocking chair with a soft animal skin blanket covering his knees.

He held a cup of warm-up tea that was constantly steaming in his left hand, and played with a hollow bone ball in his right hand, while his eyes were fixed on the gray wall in the void.

“It’s nice to not have to clear up wasteland.”

After staying at home for a month, apart from eating and resting, Chen Mu spent his free time staring at the gray wall and painting experiences.

There has been no movement on other items, but the soul-nurturing spell that he had high hopes for has been successfully advanced.

Soul-nurturing spell: 103/10000/second level;

The mind moves.

Qi Ban Baili is activated.

Ten meters away, a fist-sized stone floated out of thin air.

The next moment, like a bullet, it tore through the air with a sharp whistle and rushed straight to Chen Mu's forehead.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it came to three meters in front of him.

A wisp of black smoke emerged from the void, but was actively restrained by Chen Mu.

The white spiritual light just emerged, but was also dispersed by Chen Mu.

The Yangcuo bone ball in the palm of his hand suddenly disappeared.

In the jade seed, the soul-raising magic talisman, which had turned into a small mess, actively drilled into the Yuanfu.

Bang!

A hemispherical bone shield that seemed real and illusory suddenly blocked in front of him.

The stones that came at high speed were bounced away.

"The soul-raising spell nourishes the spirituality of the magic weapon, so it can make Yangcuo protect the body autonomously?" Chen Mu raised his eyebrows.

For other secret arts, the spell must be used to form a temporary magic talisman at the beginning, and then the magic talisman is used to activate the secret art or magic weapon.

Yangcuo Yincha itself has the effect of jade slips. After injecting magic power, it can replace the effect of the spell and form a temporary magic talisman.

It is equivalent to replacing the step of chanting the spell with a simple way of transferring mana.

After the Soul-raising Spell entered the second stage, Yangcuo had more spirituality.

This enabled it to actively detect attacks and autonomously draw mana into the bone ball.

The steps of casting were further reduced.

The process was completely automated.

Even Chen Mu was saved.

"Isn't this a magic weapon version of spiritual light and spiritual armor?" Chen Mu was happy.

After carefully listing, Chen Mu found that he had put on several layers of defense for himself without realizing it.

First, the black smoke attached to the spiritual armor, followed by the jade spiritual light, then the Yangcuo bone shield, and finally a layer of spiritual armor to train steel bones.

Occasionally, he could also use the Qi Ban Baili to act as a defensive force field.

"These layers of defense...haha!"

When he practiced various physical training techniques, he wanted to continuously stack armor and train himself into a big muscle tyrant who could carry and fight, but he didn't succeed.

Now he has come up with an alternative stacking armor.

Whether he can fight or not is another matter, anyway, he can carry.

"It's also a dream come true."
