Chapter 157 Harvest Season
"Uncle Bai, the dragon tooth rice will be mature in the second half of this month. According to the current trend, the harvest should be good... But a few disciples asked, when can I ask you for advice?"
Cai Heng summarized the recent Lingtian affairs and seized the rare opportunity to report.
Bai Zichen carried the roll, and hadn't seen him for more than half a year. This little guy's size hasn't changed much, and he's gained dozens of catties.
As soon as they met, they would roll on themselves as the master, without any sign of unfamiliarity.
"It's so fast, then you can count how many people meet the requirements. Some of them want to ask for advice on problems in cultivation, and some of them want to give pointers on sword skills. I will set aside a day to deal with this matter."
Although Jiuyang Shenhuojian fell into a deep sleep, the ability of Shenshenbaojian can still be used, and it does not affect him as an elder of returning skills.
So Bai Zichen was not guilty at all for the disciples who came to ask for advice.
Isn't it just a part-time job to teach the elders once, and it can be settled easily.
"I'll do the statistics when I get back."
Cai Heng now puts all his energy into the Lingtian.
500 acres of second-level spiritual fields and 5,000 acres of first-level spiritual fields, even with more than 60 spiritual planters helping to take care of them, he is too busy every day to keep his feet on the ground.
"This time we only harvested 500 mu of Tier 2 spiritual land, which is enough manpower... When the next harvest of 5,000 mu of Tier 1 spiritual land is harvested, we may be overwhelmed with this little manpower."
"The sect has decided to move 500 disciples to Feiyue Lake every year in the future. One is to relieve the pressure on the mountain, and the other is to speed up the construction of Feiyue Lake."
Bai Zichen is not in this mountain, but every time the contents of the elders' collegial meeting will be notified as soon as possible.
Also from more than one source.
"Our five elders guarding Feiyue Lake have a certain limit of authority to mobilize these disciples. At that time, I will issue a task, gather 300 people and hand it over to you to harvest Lingmi."
Cai Heng was relieved to have no more worries.
More than half a month later, Cai Heng came to Baiyulou again, and invited Bai Zichen to the scene to watch the harvesting process of the second-order spiritual rice.
The planting of the spiritual field is related to Bai Zichen's spiritual stone plan, and a lot of energy has been invested.
You have to pay attention to it, and go there immediately.
All the spiritual planters hired by Bai Zichen gathered in front of the 500-acre second-level spiritual field, and several second-level spiritual planters, including Old Tong, also arrived at the scene.
"Meet Elder Bai."
"Don't worry about me, you just harvest Lingmi according to your experience, I'm just here to take a look."
Bai Zichen waved his hand and asked everyone to continue working.
Old man Tong picked up a fringe, on which hung twelve heavy grains of dragon tooth rice: "Look, these batches of dragon tooth rice are plump and round, full of aura, full of fragrance...I have planted them all my life, No such perfect Lingmi has ever been grown!"
Bai Zichen broke off a piece, and it was shaped like a huge tooth. When pinched with his fingers, it was full of elasticity.
"Patriarch Jiang, I asked you to contact several nearby cultivating families, are they interested?"
"I took your name card and visited three immortal cultivating families and six immortal cultivating families. They are all very interested in dragon tooth rice. However, everyone has limited spirit stones, so they may not be able to eat so much."
The Jiang family old man bent over and stood behind with a humble expression.
Since receiving Lu Song's notice that Bai Zichen wanted to see him, Jiang Laodao simply gave up the caravan business and waited in Feiyue Lake for a whole three months.
Then, according to Bai Zichen's instructions, they collected purchase intentions from nearby families.
Dragon tooth rice, as the second-order top-quality spiritual rice, is too extravagant for Qi refining monks. Long-term consumption by foundation building monks can effectively enhance the physical strength.
According to the price that Old Man Tong inquired from that Shennongmen Keqing, the normal price of the second-order top-quality Lingmi is ten Lingshi per catty.
In an ideal state, each acre of Tier 2 Lingtian can grow 30 catties of dragon tooth rice, excluding the 10 catties handed over to the sect, there will be a total of 10,000 catties left.
Old man Tong has already done calculations, the loss of the 500 acres of second-order spiritual fields is not large, and there are very few empty ears and bad rice, so the fluctuation will not exceed 500 catties.
"It's okay, these families have at most two or three foundation-building monks, even if they are willing to buy more, they can't digest much."
Bai Zichen didn't take it seriously, selling to these immortal cultivating families was not purely for sales.
"As long as the word-of-mouth of the dragon tooth rice is established, and other foundation-building monks are attracted to buy it next year, it will be considered a success. The extra dragon tooth rice this year can be resold to Wanbao Pavilion at that time."
Not to mention thousands of catties of second-order Lingmi, if this number is multiplied several times, Wanbao Pavilion can easily eat it.
It's just that Wanbao Pavilion buys back any items, and the price is extremely low. Large-scale Lingmi can only be sold at 80% of the market price.
He just regarded Wanbao Pavilion as the last outlet, and he really couldn't sell it.
With so many spiritual planters taking action, the harvesting of the 500 acres of spiritual fields only lasted for half a day, and hills were piled up in the open space that had been prepared earlier.
"Reporting to Elder Bai, I harvested a total of more than 14,600 catties of dragon tooth rice... Live up to the trust!"
Old man Tong's face was flushed. Although he was doing it for the future of his grandson, as a spiritual farmer, he also had a sense of pride and satisfaction when he saw that the spiritual fields he was in charge of were full of harvests.
"Okay, a few of you are the deacons of Lingtian Hall, and they just happened to be a witness to collect the portion that should be handed over to the sect."
Bai Zichen was in a good mood looking at the grumpy rice all over the ground.
Gu Xisheng's proposal was indeed useful, and it greatly accelerated the sect's development of Lingtian.
No need to pay a penny, which is equivalent to renting the spiritual field to several elders, and only waiting for the rent to be collected at the end of the year.
However, for Bai Zichen to be able to achieve such a harvest, in addition to having several other elders and more spiritual planters, the high-yield spiritual rice of Longya rice also played a big role.
I believe that the other elders, with the same area of spiritual field, can harvest more than half of it.
After deducting the rent of the Zongmen Lingtian and various costs, it is almost impossible to earn much Lingshi.
The remaining 9,600 catties of dragon tooth rice, 100 catties for seeds, and 100 catties for myself to eat slowly.
Although he doesn't know that he has cultivated into a glazed body, whether this second-order top-grade spiritual rice still has any effect on him.
In addition, he was going to pack a copy for senior brothers Liang Yu, Dai Hui, Peng Chong, and Pei Dongyong as congratulatory gifts.
"Give another hundred catties to the Bai family, and exactly nine thousand catties of longya rice can be sold."
Bai Zichen calculated, excluding the salaries of all spiritual planters and the costs incurred during the planting process, the final profit would be nearly 40,000 Lingshi.
"I didn't expect farming to be a profitable industry!"
Bai Zichen's eyes were shining, looking at the five hundred acres of spiritual fields, as if looking at a cornucopia.
But he also knows that he is a special case here.
Normal second-order Lingmi, the output per mu will not exceed twenty catties.
Combined with the difference in the number of spiritual planters and the degree of dedication, and deducting the normal loss, the other elders of the same 500 mu spiritual field may harvest up to 8,000 catties of second-level spiritual rice.
The five thousand catties of spiritual rice belonging to the sect is unshakable, and after deducting various expenses, the real spiritual stones in hand are between a few thousand spiritual stones and barely guaranteed capital.
It depends on the cost control ability of the person in charge.
He looked at Old Man Tong with kind eyes, and he wanted to treat his grandson better just because of this dragon tooth rice.
At the very least, Tong Huan should be trained to reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and give him a chance to attack and build a foundation.
"Patriarch Jiang, you brought a thousand catties of longya rice and sold them along the way... I hope you can sell three thousand catties of Lingmi for me next year."
Bai Zichen set aside a share of one thousand catties of spiritual rice, and put the rest of the spiritual rice in the storage bag.
"The business with an income of 40,000 Lingshi a year is too conspicuous..."
After being overjoyed, Bai Zichen felt a little uneasy again. The profit of Longyami was too great.
It's so big that given his current status in the sect, he is worried about whether he can eat it alone.
Maybe the first two years were fine, but there must be more and more jealous people later on.
Especially in contrast to the fact that the other four elders of Feiyue Lake also contracted the spiritual fields, but in the end they harvested very little spiritual stones.
"The most likely thing is that I have to hand over the Dragon Tooth Miling Seed, and share it with everyone...Let's cover it up, as long as we give enough compensation, it's not impossible."
Once the production of Longya rice soars, Wanbaoge will definitely lower the purchase price significantly.
Bai Zichen's annual profit will naturally shrink year-on-year.
Bai Zichen thought for a while, and added Senior Brother Ying Zhong to the gift list, and doubled everyone's gifts at the same time.
It must be a good deal to earn a few thousand less spirit stones and bind a few more senior brothers to him.
If it weren't for the two Jiedan Patriarchs, they would definitely not like the second-order Lingmi. He was going to send a thousand catties of Longya Rice to Yang Patriarch's island first.
500 acres of spiritual fields have been harvested, and a short rest period has entered.
According to Old Man Tong, Longya rice has too high requirements on water and soil fertility, and one year of planting will consume a lot of spiritual energy in the Lingtian.
It needs to be vacant for half a year to let the Lingtian recuperate before it can be planted again.
From the next day, Bai Zichen began to fulfill his promise. According to the choices of these spiritual planters, he could either answer questions about his practice or give advice on swordsmanship.
Nearly 80 spiritual planters have all worked for more than half a year, but many of them have not reached a year, so they have to save the opportunity to exchange for swordsmanship.
In the end, only more than forty people applied, and half of them chose to practice puzzles and swordsmanship.
Bai Zichen made all the disciples who encountered difficulties and perplexities in cultivation and wanted to find their own answers to form a team, and completed the work in half a day.
At the beginning, some disciples suspected that Bai Zichen was doing things in a perfunctory manner, and how could he come out within a quarter of an hour of answering questions about the exercises.
This time is barely enough for the disciple to explain and understand his personal situation, and the elders who have passed on the practice have not even started to analyze it.
But seeing that every disciple who left has gained a lot, with reverence and gratitude on his face, it doesn't look like he was deceived.
When it was my turn soon, I realized why the time was so short.
After asking for a drop of blood essence, Elder Bai can analyze you thoroughly without listening to the situation at all, and then give you a sharp opinion.
There is no pause for thinking, it is so terrifying.
The only thought after the disciples of the Lingzhi master left was that such a person cannot achieve alchemy. Is there anyone else who can form alchemy in the world?
"The efficiency is quite fast, and this broken mirror is only useful..."
Bai Zichen looked at the list, and there was only the last disciple left.
Thanks to his high reputation, blood essence is an important thing for every monk, and it is impossible to let it fall into the hands of others under normal circumstances.
Unreasonable demands such as having to squeeze out a drop of blood before clarifying doubts, but no one raised the beak, and at most hesitantly complied.
