Chapter 238 The Iron Tree Blooms (1/2)
"How long does it take to replenish the magical power to cultivate a rice tree like this?" Feng Tianzong turned to Nong Mingquan and asked.
"What does your majesty mean?" Nong Mingquan was a little confused. In his eyes, this kind of rice tree is worthless. Even if it is useful to Da Shang, it will not be of much use. After all, ordinary people cannot grow it. You can't let the monks grow food to support ordinary people, right?
This is simply impossible. On the contrary, it is far from enough to let ordinary people support the monks. So Nong Mingquan couldn't understand Feng Tianzong's thinking.
This rice tree is indeed high-yielding, but it is not suitable for Da Shang now. He didn't understand what Feng Tianzong was thinking now. But he didn't dare to ask more. The idea of a Jindan monk is not something that he, a small monk in the foundation building stage, can guess.
"If you are allowed to cultivate it alone, how many rice trees can you cultivate?" Feng Tianzong asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, after this rice tree is successfully cultivated, you only need to use the small magical power to accelerate its growth. If you want it to be harvested quickly, you need to constantly use the magical power to replenish nutrients, but that will also cause this rice tree to die quickly, and it can only be harvested about ten times.
If I supply it with all my strength, before my mana is exhausted, I should be able to harvest this rice tree ten times in a day." Nong Mingquan said unconfidently.
An ordinary plant, a plant without any spiritual power, is not in the mainstream in the world of immortal cultivation. He is a foundation-building cultivator, but he can only harvest ten times a day, which is really not good enough.
"What I mean is, if you keep this rice tree alive and let it grow naturally until harvest, how long will it take to replenish the small magical power to keep it alive." Feng Tianzong saw that Nong Mingquan did not understand what he meant.
"Your Majesty, in this case, since the rice tree is not in good condition, if you let it grow naturally, and ensure that the soil is fertile and there is sufficient sunlight and water, you can add a magical power to accelerate growth in about a month." Nong Mingquan said in confusion.
"As a foundation-building cultivator, it shouldn't be too much of a burden to perform a hundred or so small magical powers every day, right?" Feng Tianzong asked again.
Feng Tianzong put himself in others' shoes. When he was still in the Qi Refining Stage, he could easily perform hundreds of small magical powers when performing the palm thunder.
Feng Tianzong felt that even if his cultivation level was improved by using tax money, the improvement was more comprehensive, resulting in more mana than ordinary cultivators. But it shouldn't be too exaggerated!
But he didn't expect that Nong Mingquan was embarrassed by what Feng Tianzong thought was a matter of course. When the leader asked about his ability, he couldn't do it, which was very embarrassing.
Nong Mingquan is so embarrassed now. Hearing Feng Tianzong's tone of understatement, it seems that it is so easy to perform more than a hundred magical powers in a day.
But Nong Mingquan now just wants to curse: "Performing more than a hundred magical powers in a day, do you want to force me to death? Mortals don't use donkeys like this."
But facing Feng Tianzong, he can't say this. He is not strong enough and can only hold it.
Feng Tianzong saw the opposite side's grunting and shriveling virtue, and it is estimated that he can't do it. Feng Tianzong didn't expect that the gap between himself and ordinary cultivators would be so big.
"Maybe it's the small magical power of accelerated growth that consumes more mana. After all, magical powers are different from magical powers." Feng Tianzong could only think so.
"Then tell me, how many times can you perform accelerated growth in a day without affecting your cultivation?" Feng Tianzong asked directly.
Nong Mingquan gritted his teeth and put on a desperate look: "Your Majesty, fifty times is no problem."
"Fifty times a day, thirty days a month, that means you can stably cultivate 1,500 rice trees. If one rice tree harvests 8,000 kilograms of grain at a time. This is tens of millions of kilograms of grain." Feng Tianzong calculated quickly.
This Nong Mingquan alone can be equivalent to an entire plantation.
When Nong Mingquan heard Feng Tianzong's calculation, his face turned pale instantly. He really treated him as a farmer. Da Shang is such a big country, is it short of such a small amount of food?
And what he just said about using his magical power fifty times a day is actually a bit of a show-off. If he really uses his magical power fifty times a day, he will have no time to practice. In that little time every day, in addition to using magical powers, he will restore his mana.
"Your Majesty, didn't we just talk about building a formation to cultivate this kind of rice tree?" Nong Mingquan said unwillingly. Although he wanted to hold back and not speak out the reluctance in his heart, he still unconsciously brought it out.
Feng Tianzong smiled and nodded and said: "It is true. I am really proficient in formations, and I am very proficient in it, but I must first know the principle of this accelerated growth before I can deduce the formation according to the principle. So that the formation can achieve the same effect as the magical power.
However, this magical power of accelerated growth, although it is only a small magical power, is also the magical power of your Shencao Sect. As the emperor of Da Shang, I cannot ask for magical powers from my subordinates!
So I thought about it and can only wrong you. Fortunately, I have asked you before. Let's do what we can. Anyway, fifty times of magical power every day will also affect your cultivation."
Feng Tianzong said it lightly, but Nong Mingquan wanted to vomit blood. Isn't it just a small magical power? I'll give it to you, won't it be over? Is it necessary to scare me like this?
"Your Majesty, in fact, the sect doesn't pay much attention to small magical powers. This kind of magical power itself has no combat power. In fact, it's nothing. Why don't I give this magical power to your majesty first, and I hope your majesty will not despise it as a small magical power without combat power." Nong Mingquan hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Feng Tianzong.
"Isn't this bad? Don't you really need to report it to the sect first? After all, it is also a magical power." Feng Tianzong looked at Nong Mingquan and said with a smile.
"No need at all, your majesty, it's just a matter of a small magical power, I can still make the decision on this matter." Nong Mingquan said very generously. But there was inevitably some guilt in his tone.
It was like a man who was afraid of his wife bragging to others outside that he could make the decision at home. Feng Tianzong found this Nong Mingquan quite interesting.
He has no ulterior motives, and all his emotions are on his face. You can see this clearly at a glance. Feng Tianzong actually prefers dealing with such people.
Of course, he really wants to plan the magical power of the Divine Grass Sect. Just by listening to the few magical powers that Nong Mingquan knows, Feng Tianzong is very envious. Especially the Divine Grass Sect's Tongtian magical power, which can make the spiritual grass mature and bear fruit in an instant. This is simply a magical skill.

Any spiritual medicine, as long as there is a seed, can be cultivated in an instant. This kind of magical power is simply amazing.
Although this Tongtian magical power has no combat power, the role it can play is indeed not small at all.
Feng Tianzong can know how rich the Shencao Sect, which has this Tongtian magical power, would be just by thinking about it! The Shencao Sect is simply the local tyrant in the world of cultivation.
There are so many rare and precious herbs and medicines in the sect. With endless spiritual herbs and medicines, there must be no shortage of skilled alchemists in the Shencao Sect.
From this, it can be inferred that there must be a lot of inventory in the Shencao Sect, and it is estimated that they have a lot of various precious high-level elixirs.
No wonder every time a catastrophe comes, no matter who it is, they want to go to the Shencao Sect to get some wool. If Feng Tianzong is not strong enough now, he would want to get some wool.
After so many catastrophes, the Shencao Sect still stands in the world of cultivation, and can still live well, which shows that they are also capable, although they are a little fence-sitter. But it is not incomprehensible.
Every time a catastrophe comes to the world of immortal cultivation, other sects may still be able to avoid it. As long as they don't participate, they can generally survive, that is, they will lose some territory. For example, the Beast Taming Sect has its own independent cave paradise and doesn't care about the outside world's territory.
In order to avoid the catastrophe, they have already run to the edge of the human territory.
And the big fat sheep like the Divine Grass Sect can't even escape. As long as the catastrophe comes, it will inevitably be affected.
"Well, in that case, then I will learn the magical power of your Divine Grass Sect. Let's see what's so good about it." Feng Tianzong said flatteringly. He decided not to pretend and not to play the trick of three refusal and three concessions.
Nong Mingquan made a magical jade slip and gave it to Feng Tianzong. The information exchange between cultivators is very fast and efficient. It took only a few breaths of time for the jade slip to be made. It just sorted out and recorded all the difficulties he encountered in practicing this magical power.
Feng Tianzong took the jade slip and looked at it. The magical power of accelerated growth is indeed very weak and much easier to learn. Compared with the palm thunder that Feng Tianzong learned back then, it feels even simpler.
Although Feng Tianzong's aptitude is not good, his cultivation is now high. He can learn many small spells at a glance, although he has not yet reached the level of magical power. However, Feng Tianzong did get the basics of this spell at a glance. However, if you want to accelerate growth and cultivate it into a magical power, you still need to practice further. This will take some time.
Feng Tianzong pinched his fingers, chanted the spell, slowly mobilized his magic power, raised his hand and pointed at a vine on the ground, and saw that the vine grew rapidly, and soon became thick and strong. It instantly became several times larger.
Feng Tianzong has just learned this magical spell of extremely fast growth, but he has strong magic power. As long as he is willing to spend his magic power, it can have a good effect.
It's just that it takes more time to perform. For a battle, casting a spell that requires chanting a spell is simply courting death.
However, for a non-combat spell like accelerated growth, there is not much difference between faster and slower.
After understanding the principle of this magical spell and the route of the mana in the body, Feng Tianzong knew how to arrange the formation so that it could achieve the effect of this magical spell.
With Feng Tianzong's current knowledge of formations, it is not difficult to design such a formation, but Feng Tianzong wants to set up a large formation, and energy is the key.
Feng Tianzong must cultivate rice trees on a large scale, even if the consumption is a little high, it must be cultivated.
The more formations are established, the more spiritual materials are consumed. Spiritual materials are still a small problem, and Feng Tianzong now has a relatively rich supply of spiritual materials.
The most important thing is what energy is used as the core of the formation. Most of the formations in the general cultivation world use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as energy to arrange the formation.
However, the spiritual energy in the mortal world is thin, and this cannot be done. Most of them use the power of the earth veins to arrange the formation as the core of the formation.
Only a few people who are proficient in formations can use celestial phenomena, such as the three lights of the sun, moon and stars, to do this. Feng Tianzong can also do it.
However, now the entire earth vein of Dashang has been transformed into a dragon vein by him. Even if there are places that have not been transformed, they will need to be transformed in the future.
In his conception, all the earth veins in Da Shang should be transformed into dragon veins, and then used as the core of his natal formation. Prepare for the future promotion to the blessed land of cave heaven.
The same is true for the three lights of the sun, moon and stars. Now this energy has been used by Feng Tianzong to cultivate plantations and plant ironwood.
Feng Tianzong's conception should be to open up a large plantation and recruit mortal farmers to plant rice trees on a large scale.
With Nong Mingquan as the leader, another rice plantation will be established. As long as the scale is larger, the entire Da Shang will no longer lack food.
What makes Feng Tianzong embarrassed now is where should this rice plantation be built? What is the core?
"Is there any need for land to plant this kind of rice tree? Can I succeed if I use other trees instead of apple trees?" Feng Tianzong asked again.
"That's not a problem. Other trees should be OK, but it's just a matter of how much mana they consume. A tree with a higher degree of adaptability consumes less mana, while a tree with a lower degree of adaptability consumes a lot of mana. It's not certain." Nong Mingquan said uncertainly.
Feng Tianzong suddenly had an idea. Since other trees can be used, can ironwood be used? Anyway, he now has an ironwood plantation. It covers several hills.
If food can grow on ironwood, wouldn't it be a three-way meal? Anyway, for ironwood, he only needs the trunk, and he doesn't need other branches, fruits, etc.
As for rice, he only needs fruits, and he doesn't need anything else. Moreover, ironwood is a kind of spiritual tree, although it is only the worst spiritual tree. But it also contains spiritual power. Will it have any good effect on rice?
