Chapter 516: Spiritual Farmer, Miner, Five Elements Altar (10,000 per Day, Please Subscribe)
The ritual of refining the sixty-three Yellow Turban Warriors was not an easy task for Lu Feng.
It took him some time and energy.
Apart from the sixty-three ordinary demons that had few characteristics and could only be refined into Yellow Turban Warriors, Lu Feng identified the remaining demons one by one and found some useful demon talents.
Among them, several rabbits and goats had the innate ability to get close to plants.
With such innate abilities, although they could not be refined into the Four Symbols Taoist Soldiers like the Green Snake Taoist Soldiers, it would be most useful to teach them the "Green Wood Longevity Skill" and refine them into spiritual farming Taoist soldiers who specialize in planting.
As Yong'an County siphons the surrounding counties, the population is increasing, and the daily food consumption is increasing.
Although there are many farmlands outside Yong'an County, the agricultural civilization of the Purple Moon World can only be regarded as an ancient civilization.
The means of farming are relatively primitive.
There is no ability to cultivate carefully, no efficient fertilizers and pesticides, and no high-yield varieties per mu.
Under various unfavorable factors, the grain output in the farmland outside the city is quite limited.
The current grain in Yong'an County can still be sustained, relying on the recent autumn harvest and the continuous purchase of grain from nearby counties to sustain the current grain consumption in Yong'an County.
In the short term, there is no food crisis.
When winter is over, the stored grain is exhausted, and when the spring is not coming, the food problem will affect the subsequent development of Yong'an County.
Lu Feng has already considered these. Whether it is enlightening the century-old tree, refining the treeman Taoist soldier Qingmu, or selecting monsters with the talent of affinity with plants and trees, they are all preparing for the autumn farming in Yong'an County.
There are a total of thirteen monsters with the talent of affinity with plants and trees in his hands, most of them are rabbits and goats.
Refining the seeds of the Taoist soldiers, instructing them to enter the "Qingmu Changsheng Gong" to extract the essence of the plants and trees in the world, temper their bodies, accumulate the energy of plants and trees to strengthen themselves, and then teach them the "Spring Breeze and Rain Technique", focusing on plant growth.
As long as they are trained a little bit and their proficiency in skills and spells is improved, these spiritual farmers will be good at farming in Yong'an County.
With the assistance of these spiritual farmers, Yong'an County will no longer have to worry about food in the future.
With sufficient food supply, they will have enough food and drink, and no longer spend all their energy to fill their stomachs. The residents of Yong'an County will have enough time and energy to exercise, learn culture, and improve the quality of the whole people.
Lu Feng has a clear plan for the future development of Yong'an County.
In addition to these monsters with affinity for plants and trees, Lu Feng also found several monsters with affinity for metals and water, which can be refined into miners for prospecting and mining and spiritual water soldiers for controlling water sources.
In general, these demons fell into Lu Feng's hands. Although they could keep their bodies safe, they no longer had the freedom of their souls. They could only serve as Taoist soldiers for Lu Feng for their entire lives and became the cornerstone of the development of Lu Feng's forces.
A group of easy-to-use, low-cost natural cattle and horses.
In the county government, watching Lu Feng refining Taoist soldiers non-stop, his master Qingwei Taoist watched with surprise in his eyes.
Lu Feng's method of refining Taoist soldiers was beyond his cognition. With the help of the proficiency panel, Lu Feng only needed to wipe out the spiritual intelligence of these demons and refine them into Taoist soldier seeds. What remained was that these freshly-made Taoist soldiers practiced and improved continuously.
This operation was very different from the Taoist soldier refining method taught by Sanyin Temple.
Although the Taoist soldiers of Sanyin Temple had some spiritual intelligence after they were refined, their daily practice and progress still needed to be controlled and assisted by the practitioners themselves.
Just like the four Taoist soldiers of Qingwei Taoist, the more the better.
Only Taoist Qingwei has only four four-symbol Taoist soldiers, the tiger, the turtle, the bird and the snake, but he has refined each of them to the extreme. When fighting, they form the four-symbol spiritual formation, and the combat power they exert is ranked among the best in Sanyin Temple.
As for the black crow Taoist soldiers who follow Taoist Jingming, there is only one type of them, and he takes the path of winning by quantity.
When the same kind of Taoist soldiers are refined, they absorb and exhale the same kind of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which can be controlled in a large range, without fine control, and can be refined in larger quantities.
One is specialized, and the other wins by quantity. The two methods of cultivating Taoist soldiers are the main trends in Sanyin Temple and even in the current cultivation world of the Purple Moon World, and there is also a complementary trend.
But now Taoist Qingwei is watching Lu Feng refining Taoist soldiers. This huge number of yellow turban warriors, as well as Taoist soldiers refined by other demons, are all taking the path of winning by quantity, and constantly increasing the number of Taoist soldiers.
However, after Lu Feng's sacrifice and refinement, these Taoist soldiers can actually actively practice the exercises and exercise the magic skills, and have the possibility of continuous growth.
This is really weird.
The Taoist soldiers that Lu Feng has cultivated in this way are equivalent to having an extra cultivator who can cultivate automatically and increase his strength automatically.
The more Taoist soldiers he cultivates, the less burden Lu Feng will have, but the benefits are incomparable.
Seeing Lu Feng remembering the Taoist soldiers, Taoist Qingwei finally understood why Lu Feng was willing to let these Taoist soldiers and Yellow Turban Warriors participate in the construction of Yong'an City.
Anyway, keeping them by his side is cultivation, and sending them to Yong'an City to participate in the construction is also cultivation.
The speed of strengthening has not reduced much, but on the contrary, it can promote the overall expansion and strength of Yong'an County.
During this process, Lu Feng, as the nominal ruler of Yong'an City, gained more benefits.
Qingwei Taoist wanted to train a Yellow Turban Warrior like Lu Feng, and asked Lu Feng, but this involved the use of the proficiency panel, and Lu Feng had no way to teach his master Qingwei Taoist.
If he could contact the original deity who was still in the earthly world in the future, get a few systems, and send one to his master Qingwei Taoist, he could solve this problem.
Of course, forget it now.
After learning from Lu Feng that there was no way to teach this method of refining Taoist soldiers, Qingwei Taoist's eyes dimmed for a moment, but soon adjusted back.
If it can't be passed on, it can't be passed on, it's not a big deal.
Although Qingwei Taoist envied the power of Lu Feng's Taoist soldiers who could practice independently, he had been practicing the Four Symbols Taoist soldiers for so many years and was familiar with the method of refining Taoist soldiers.
If he didn't have it, it wouldn't be a big deal.
However, the curious Qingwei Taoist still took away two Yellow Turban Warriors from Lu Feng, as well as the talismans that controlled the Yellow Turban Warriors.
He couldn't learn it, but he could still get two Yellow Turban Warriors for his own use.
Lu Feng had no objection to this.
It was right for the apprentice to show respect to his master.
Anyway, the abnormality of the Yellow Turban Warrior was also caused by the proficiency panel. Even if the master Qingwei Taoist disassembled the Yellow Turban Warrior, he couldn't figure out the root of the abnormality of the Yellow Turban Warrior.
Although Lu Feng's speed of refining Taoist soldiers was not slow, it took him half a month to deal with all the ninety-four demons in the official seal spirit realm and refine them into Taoist soldiers.
After refining the last demon into a Taoist soldier under his control, Lu Feng looked at the yard where he was.
The yard in the original county government office had been expanded several times, and now the yard in front of the house has been expanded like a small playground, with several thousand square meters of land.
At this time, in the front yard, an ancient tree stood tall, and the verdant treetops were full of vitality and vigor.
This big tree is the tree-man Taoist soldier Qingmu that Lu Feng had enlightened at the foot of the Black Wind Mountain. The tree-man Taoist soldier who followed Lu Feng to Yong'an County had a hard time surviving in the official seal spiritual realm, so he was placed in his yard by Lu Feng.
On the branches of the tree-man Taoist soldier, Lu Feng's green snake Taoist soldier was lying, as well as some spiritual farmer Taoist soldiers that Lu Feng had recently refined.
Whether it was the green snake Taoist soldier who practiced the Four Symbols Soul-Suppressing Method or the spiritual farmer Taoist soldier who practiced the Qingmu Longevity Technique, within the range of the [Natural Spirit] of the tree-man Taoist soldier Qingmu, the speed of collecting and refining the grass and wood energy was much faster.
These Taoist soldiers who belonged to the same wood element cooperated with each other and complemented each other. The speed of progress was obviously faster than that of the ordinary yellow-turbaned warriors who practiced.
Moreover, the wood-element Taoist soldiers not only practiced, but also brought the essence of the grass and wood of heaven and earth that they brought together, which made Lu Feng's yard full of vitality.
The flowers and plants used to decorate the yard in the flower pots and flower beds are all thriving under the influence of these wood soldiers.
It adds a different kind of vitality to Lu Feng's yard.
The other Yellow Turban warriors still buried themselves in the soil in the yard, touching the earth at a negative distance, in line with the practice of thick earth and immortality, better extracting the earth's energy and increasing natural mana.
On the other side, there is a black tiger entrenched in a shack made of a pile of ironware, facing the west and breathing out the western gold energy.
Although the effect is not obvious, with the help of the proficiency panel, every effort has results and rewards, the proficiency of the practice method is increasing day by day, and the gold energy in the body is constantly accumulating.
The roots of the black tiger hairs on the body surface have some metallic silver-white luster, and gradually become sharp and tough like a needle.
Next to the shack where ironware was piled up, three miners with affinity for metal were also practicing cross-legged, following the rhythm of the tiger soldiers, refining the gold energy of heaven and earth, and enhancing their own practice.
These soldiers in the courtyard, except for a few yellow turban warriors borrowed by Taoist Xu Feng to do engineering, were all the fighting power in Lu Feng's hands.
There were more than a hundred of them, and they looked mighty when standing together.
Although each of them practiced the method of demon transformation taught by Lu Feng, they had only practiced for a short time and their proficiency was not high. The human forms they transformed into were ugly and ferocious.
Standing together, they were fierce and powerful.
In this one-third acre of land in Yong'an County, with the assistance of these soldiers, Lu Feng felt that he had already firmly sat on the throne of the local emperor.
Even if his master Qingwei Taoist was beside him, Lu Feng was not afraid.
With the advantage of the number of Taoist soldiers, Master Qingwei Taoist only has four three-refined four-symbol Taoist soldiers in his hand. The difference in strength has not reached the point where quantity cannot make up for quality.
If it is a fight to the death, Lu Feng will use all his means and is 100% sure to take down Master Qingwei Taoist.
Of course, this is also the case without considering Qingwei Taoist's trump card. As an old Taoist priest of Sanyin Temple, Qingwei Taoist is experienced and has experienced many battles in his life. He must have some life-saving trump cards in his hand.
With these trump cards, it is still difficult for Lu Feng to defeat Master Qingwei Taoist with his current strength.
After finishing the sacrifice and refining of this batch of Taoist soldiers, Lu Feng finally had time to enjoy the benefits brought by his Taoist soldiers in his own courtyard.
These yellow turban warriors, wood Taoist soldiers, tiger Taoist soldiers... etc., who daily extract the energy of heaven and earth, except for 70% for their own use, the remaining 30% must be handed over to Lu Feng to enhance his daily practice.
30:70, this ratio seems a bit low, but in fact it has reached the limit of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that Lu Feng can digest every day, and there is still more.
After all, there are too many Yellow Turban Warriors in Lu Feng's hands. Even if each Yellow Turban Warrior contributes 30% of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the spiritual energy contributed by dozens of Yellow Turban Warriors together still exceeds Lu Feng's refining limit.
Lu Feng refines the earth energy contributed by the Yellow Turban Warriors into his body, mixes it with his spirit, and condenses it into a part of his magic power, which is accumulated on the Four Symbols Array Spirit Altar in the Dantian Acupoint.
The earth is in the center, and the earth can grow trees, contain water, grow metal ores, and there are magma flames in the depths of the earth, embracing all things.
When Lu Feng practiced the Earth Immortal Method before, he had a deep understanding and understanding of the Five Elements. At this time, practicing the Five Elements Soul-Suppressing Method that he completed the central phase of the Earth Element is even easier.
Refining the earth's aura every day to consolidate the foundation of the altar, Lu Feng has only a limit to the growth of his physical flesh and blood, and his spirit has no limit at all.
If he was not afraid of refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and hurting the origin of his body, Lu Feng would be able to refine all the earth's aura contributed by his Yellow Turban Warriors.
The grass and wood essences and the gold energy of heaven and earth contributed by other Taoist soldiers are limited in quantity, so Lu Feng can refine them easily.
Looking into the Dantian acupoint, the Four Symbols Soul-Suppressing Altar in Lu Feng's body has now been replaced by the Five Directions Five Elements Altar by Lu Feng.
The four symbols are in the four directions, and the earth-shaped Qilin beast is in the center.
The foundation of the altar is filled with the magic power condensed from the earth's aura, and various runes containing the mysteries of the earth-shaped law are written on it, and various beasts and artifacts symbolizing the earth-shaped law are drawn, making the foundation of this altar extremely stable and solid.
The four spiritual pillars on the altar represent gold, wood, water and fire. Now there are only spiritual pillars representing wood and gold, which are gradually solidified by the mana condensed from the essence of plants and the gold energy of heaven and earth.
With the analysis of the cultivation system of the Purple Moon World, Lu Feng gradually imprinted his own understanding of the five elements of the five directions on the altar in his Dantian acupoint, which symbolizes his foundation.
Although this body is weak now and cannot use the mystery of the law, just imprinting the mystery and understanding of these laws can make Lu Feng have a strong foundation, powerful mana and high quality.
He has a stronger combat power than the Purple Moon World practitioners of the same realm.
After all, Lu Feng is not a newbie who has just stepped into the way of cultivation.
His foundation is a thought of the Sun-shining Wizard Lu Feng himself.
Although it is just a thought, it also contains a lot of cultivation insights that Lu Feng has gained since he was born.
Looking down from a high place, looking at the cultivation path of the Purple Moon World is like looking back at the math problem of one plus one equals two in kindergarten after becoming a university professor.
It is simple, no need to think, almost instinctive reaction, you can solve it.
The only thing that Lu Feng needs to think of now is the lack of resources in Yong'an County, which has slowed down his cultivation progress.
Fortunately, with the expansion of Yong'an County's power and the increase in the number of Taoist soldiers in his hands, Lu Feng's speed of collecting resources is getting faster and faster, and he can already catch up with his normal daily cultivation needs.
However, the four Taoist soldiers that Lu Feng sacrificed and trained still lacked the Fire Crow Taoist Soldiers and the Spirit Turtle Taoist Soldiers.
These days, Taoist Xu Feng also mobilized the residents of Yong'an County to search for crows and turtles nearby.
Under the heavy reward, Lu Feng caught a lot of ordinary turtles and crows.
But there was no crow or turtle with spirituality that could be directly sacrificed and refined into Taoist soldiers.
There may be crows and turtles that meet Lu Feng's requirements in the deep mountains and old forests east of the county, but the deep mountains and old forests are full of dangers and it is not easy for ordinary people to explore deeply.
Perhaps when the civilians in Yong'an County practice basic body-building and health-preserving exercises and become stronger, there may be real warriors who dare to go into the deep mountains and old forests to find spiritual beasts suitable for refining Taoist soldiers for Lu Feng.
There are no spiritual beasts in hand for the time being, so Lu Feng can only open up an area in the yard and try to raise crows and turtles.
In the process of natural breeding, it is difficult to raise spiritual beasts suitable for refining Taoist soldiers.
However, with the purple moon evil thing, Lu Feng does not raise spiritual turtles and crows, and it is simple and convenient to directly cultivate demons.
There are more than a hundred demons under his command. In the process of refining Taoist soldiers, Lu Feng has a full understanding of demons.
Although it is not possible to cultivate demons with special talents, it is not difficult to cultivate a few crows and turtles into demons.
First, let these crows and turtles bask in the purple moon at night, and then slowly soak up the power of demons. After several rounds of elimination and selection, you can slowly raise crows and turtles that meet Lu Feng's requirements.
Then plant the seeds of Taoist soldiers and refine them into four-symbol Taoist soldiers.
However, this method of slowly soaking in the power of demons and letting crows and turtles degenerate into demons is somewhat time-consuming and meat-consuming.
However, Lu Feng is not busy now, and has time to slowly cultivate demons.
In addition, the last time Black Wind Mountain was cleaned up, a lot of meat was harvested. Lu Feng distributed a lot of edible meat to his soldiers, and the rest of the parts that were heavily contaminated with demons were left in the official seal spirit realm.
Now cultivating turtles and crows is just a waste utilization, and by the way, the garbage in the official seal spirit realm space is dealt with.
"Quack!"
After eating some wild beast meat and basking in the purple moon for a few days, the crows imbued with some demonic power fluttered and screamed in the iron cage in the courtyard.
The voice is clear and powerful,
It is obviously much more energetic than when it was first caught.
There was more purple evil intention in the pair of bird eyes, and his temper became much grumpier.
The crows in the same cage used their claws and claws together when they didn't like it, and they scratched and pecked other crows with blood dripping from them.
Fortunately, there was a yellow scarf warrior arranged by Lu Feng who was keeping an eye on the iron cage. As soon as he discovered a fatal attack, he used a stick to separate the grumpy crows that were struggling together. Otherwise, dozens of crows would be kept in a cage. , had long since fought with each other until there were only a few left.
When breeding other turtles, Lu Feng asked Huang Jinli to build a one-meter-high rock pool with separate compartments and feed them meat regularly.
The turtle, who has not yet conquered the demon, does not yet have the ability to climb out of the rock pool.
However, with Lu Feng's breeding, these turtles, which were usually dull and slow, began to become ferocious and evil.
Ziyue Xieyi is indeed a good way to cultivate war weapons.
But for human cultivators who need to maintain rationality and stable emotions, it is completely a negative buff that erodes their rationality.
With nothing to do, Lu Feng observed the status of these turtles and crows, according to his estimation.
Maintaining a sufficient supply of food and demon power, these crows and turtles should be able to give birth to the first demon Lu Feng needs in about half a month.
It was a bit slow, but Lu Feng would be satisfied as long as he could think of a crow and a turtle to complete his four-image Taoist soldiers.
The remaining idea of expanding the scale of the Four Elephant Dao soldiers is to do it slowly, there is still time.
While Lu Feng was inspecting the turtle and crow, the door to the courtyard was pushed open, and Taoist Xu Feng walked in with a face full of joy.
"Uncle Master, what a good thing! Three pangolin soldiers who went prospecting today discovered an iron mine in the Black Wind Mountains!"
"iron ore!"
Hearing this, Lu Feng, who was taking care of the turtle, also raised his head and smiled happily.
With the development of Yong'an County and Lu Feng's cultivation of Tiger Taoist soldiers, the consumption of metal in Yong'an County has greatly increased.
Just relying on merchants to sell iron ingots here from nearby counties is almost a drop in the bucket.
Ziyue World's technology for utilizing iron ore and other metals is still quite primitive. Even if there are several iron mines in Yangping County, the annual iron production capacity is limited.
Coupled with the Qingguo government's control over military supplies such as iron, the number of iron ingots that Yong'an County can obtain through commercial means is too small, which is not enough to support the current development of Yong'an County.
If we can find an iron mine now, no matter how much it is, it can solve Lu Feng's urgent need.
With the Yellow Turban warriors and the iron-making technology in Lu Feng's mind, as long as there are iron ores, Lu Feng can double the steel output of Yong'an County in ten days and a half.
"What's the scale like? Are there any difficulties in iron ore mining? Are there any monsters nearby!" Lu Feng continued to ask.
"The prospecting pangolin soldiers have returned safely. The area around the iron mine in Heifeng Mountain is relatively safe. However, it is located deep into the mountains and transportation back and forth is difficult. In addition, there may be monsters in the mountains. If it is mined, it may be troublesome. Not small!"
Taoist Xu Feng reported the information discovered by the prospecting team one by one. He also took out a map of Yong'an County and pointed out the location of the iron mine at the place representing the Black Wind Mountains.
"It's a bit far. This iron mine is ten kilometers away from Heifeng Village. It's already deep into the Heifeng Mountains! In other words, the Taoist soldiers refined by a few pangolins are more sensitive to the smell of metal in the mountains. Otherwise, people would be used to prospect for the mines. I guess I was eaten by the monsters in the mountains before I even reached the Black Wind Mountains!"
Lu Feng calculated the location of the iron ore in the Black Wind Mountains, and called the three pangolin soldiers who were prospecting to learn more about the situation. (End of chapter)
