Chapter 65: Really Poor
Zhou Changwang came here not to take over the task.
His pest control methods may be useful in the Lingtian at the foot of Changling Mountain, but in this Lingzhi Hall, they are not worth mentioning.
In the Spirit Planting Hall, there are more than a dozen spiritual planters, nearly a hundred spiritual plant apprentices, plus many experienced spiritual farmers... Naturally, people who are good at getting rid of insects are indispensable.
He came here just to check the requirements on the task bar and choose one or two economic spiritual crops that he could grow.
After all, he doesn't have many spiritual stones left.
And he couldn't just let the five acres of spiritual land in his backyard fall into disrepair and then sit back and have nothing.
Later, Zhou Changwang combined his abilities and quickly selected a spiritual material.
Hui Ling Cao!
A kind of elixir.
It is also one of the main materials used by alchemists to refine spiritual elixirs.
The purchase price of a Hui Ling Cao is one low-grade Ling Stone, and its growth cycle is also short, only taking three months.
The only problem is that it requires a lot of spiritual energy.
It must be at least a first-grade spiritual field or above to be able to maintain its growth. It is also extremely delicate and easy to die young. If it is exposed to the slightest wind or rain, or is eaten by insects and ants, the leaves will wither and turn yellow, causing it to wither and die.
Even experienced old spiritual farmers grow this spiritual material with great care and take good care of it every day.
But even if this is the case, if Baizhuhui Lingcao can survive 30% in the end, it is already good.
Many even only survive 10%.
Therefore, there are very few monks in the Spiritual Planting Hall who would choose to plant this spiritual material.
But because this spiritual material is one of the main materials for refining the spiritual elixir, the demand has always been very high, so the purchase price remains high, which makes Zhou Changwang a little excited.
And the source of his confidence.
Of course it's the spiritual farmer's manual.
That hundred-year-old spiritual farmer mainly planted this spiritual material in his later years. He was very experienced and his survival rate has always been maintained at over 70%.
"If it goes well, I don't need 70%. As long as the survival rate can reach 50%, I can make a lot of money."
With this in mind, Zhou Changwang went directly to the seed shop in Lingzhi Hall.
This is actually the largest place to buy spiritual seeds in the entire Fengmingwufang City. Most of the seeds in the shop are cultivated by the spiritual planters in the Spirit Planting Hall, but there are still many spiritual seeds. Collected from various places, some even originate from the Qingyuan Sect...
There were two people in the seed shop, one looked middle-aged and should be the shopkeeper, and the other was slightly younger. He looked indifferently at the spiritual planter apprentices and spiritual farmers coming and going, with a bit of arrogance on his face. .
Zhou Changwang stepped forward and spoke directly, "Shopkeeper, how do you sell Hui Ling Cao seeds here?"
"A low-grade spiritual stone contains thirty seeds.
You can choose the seeds yourself, and we will not be held responsible once you leave the store. "
The shopkeeper didn't reply, but the young man said calmly.
"It's a bit expensive. Can it be cheaper?"
Zhou Changwang calculated the quality and size of his spiritual field. Basically, each Huiling grass seed needs to be separated by more than one meter so that it can grow freely without affecting each other.
In other words, if the five acres of spiritual land are fully planted, he will need at least 3,000 Hui Ling Cao seeds, which is one hundred low-grade spiritual stones.
This is a big expense.
"Is it expensive? Is it expensive there?
We’ve always had this price, right?
Our Lingzhitang seed shop is very difficult. Sometimes, why not look for your own reasons?
Have you earned any spiritual stones over the years? Have you worked seriously? "
The guy had a contemptuous look in his eyes and an impatient look on his face.
"Whether I have earned spiritual stones or not, does it matter to you?
Shopkeeper, is this how your staff entertains guests? "
Zhou Changwang was stunned. When did all the customers who came to the door be made things so difficult for him?
Have you eaten your rice?
"I'm sorry, I'm here to entertain you...I don't know how many seeds you want, but I'll give you a discount here."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly walked forward with a smile on his face, then turned around and glared at the waiter, saying, "You go back and stay there."
"Forget it, I can't afford your seeds."
Zhou Changwang snorted coldly and said.
"Don't bother me.
The spiritual seeds I have here are indeed the best in the entire Fengmingwufang City. Each one is carefully selected, and it is almost impossible for dead seeds or bad seeds to appear, and some are produced from the Qingyuan Sect, and even the growth rate is one to two percent faster than ordinary spiritual seeds.
You don't have to buy inferior products from other companies because of temporary unhappiness? "
Zhou Changwang admitted this.
He knew that the prices in the casual cultivator market would be much cheaper, but the quality of the seeds was a matter of taste.
Among a hundred seeds, half of the survival rate can be regarded as a good conscience. There are many dead seeds mixed in. If you don't have a certain degree of vision, you will definitely suffer a big loss.
And the growth speed of high-quality seeds is indeed faster than that of many ordinary spiritual seeds.
"I do need three thousand Huiling Grass seeds here."
Zhou Changwang frowned slightly, but still spoke.
"In this way, for every thousand Huiling Grass seeds, you can choose thirty more seeds, how about that?"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper said tentatively.
"Fifty."
Zhou Changwang continued.
"make a deal.
I will treat you as my friend. "
The shopkeeper glanced at him, nodded, and then took out a dozen small bags from the shop behind him.
Each bag contains three hundred Huiling grass seeds.
Zhou Changwang felt better, wondering if he had called too few.
But he had said it, so he would not regret it.
A total of three thousand Huiling grass seeds were needed, which meant that he could choose one hundred and fifty more, which saved five low-grade spirit stones.
Not a loss.
When the bag was opened, the seeds inside were exposed. Each one was the size of a broad bean, and each one was quite plump. In the distance, there was a spiritual force emanating from it.
This spiritual force is actually vitality.
The stronger the spirituality, the stronger the vitality, and the healthier the seeds.
If the spirituality is weak, the vitality of the seeds will naturally be weaker, and the survival rate will be lower.
For example, the three Leiling rice tree seeds he had obtained from Chen Yushu before had no spirituality and extremely low vitality, so it was so difficult for them to survive.
Seeing this, Zhou Changwang did not hesitate to select them one by one.
It was not until an incense stick later that he picked all the seeds and counted 3,150 seeds.
Of course, he also handed out 100 low-grade spirit stones.
"Now, I am really poor."
As Zhou Changwang walked out of the Spiritual Planting Hall, he was also calculating his assets in his heart.
One hundred and fifty-five low-grade spirit stones, minus one hundred, only fifty-five are left.
However, when he walked out of the Beast Taming House again, the remaining fifty low-grade spirit stones were once again reduced by more than half.
Because he ordered a full three thousand kilograms of animal manure from the Beast Taming House.
Three thousand kilograms, another thirty low-grade spirit stones left him.
However, he did not feel bad about it.
Because these are all necessary investments in the early stage.
After all, there will be output only if there is investment.
He wanted to plant the spiritual grass, but the spiritual power in the spiritual field was enough, after all, it was a first-class spiritual field. However, the spiritual soil cultivation method he learned from the spiritual farmer's manual, combined with the spiritual energy contained in the animal manure, could increase the spiritual energy in his spiritual field by another 10% or 20%.
If the two were to assist each other, it would not only be one plus one equals two, but it would definitely increase the growth rate of the spiritual plants he planted.
Then, he hurried back to his yard.
After waiting for two or three hours, a lot of animal manure was delivered one after another. Zhou Changwang ordered that all of them be piled in a corner of the backyard.
