Chapter 38: Lingfeng is obtained, Asun supports the family
Liu Yuan is very straightforward when doing things. It was said that Li Qing was asked to stay for two days, but in fact, Lingfeng was handed over to him the next day.
This made Li Qing somewhat extinguish some of his suppressed anger.
The new Lingfeng covers about fifty acres, not far from the hilltop rented by the Li family. It is said to be a peak, but in fact it is a small bumpkin.
Because it is separated from Xuefeng Lake by the spiritual peak rented by the Li family, the concentration of spiritual energy is only half of that of the first-order spiritual veins, so the price is much cheaper.
It is also a ten-year long lease, and the annual rent per acre is only three low-grade spiritual stones, totaling 1,500 spiritual stones.
But this is just land rent. We also need to set up protective formations, purchase spiritual seeds, hire spiritual planters to cultivate and protect it... The subsequent expenditures add up to an almost astronomical figure.
But Li Qing was also a bachelor. He directly used the proceeds from the Jiuxuan Fruit to cover fixed investments such as land rent and formations, and borrowed fifty acres of lettuce spiritual seeds from Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan was very puzzled: "Fellow Taoist, don't you think about it any more? The medium and low-grade lettuce is worthless; the high-grade lettuce consumes more land, so the gain outweighs the loss."
He paused. After a pause, he warned: "The planting of Jiuxuan fruit trees is the top priority. If the land is not good enough and delays the business, I am afraid that the consequences will not be something that Fellow Daoist Li can afford."
Li Qingcheng was confident: "Fellow Taoist, please rest assured. We have signed a legal contract. As a qi-training monk, I can't stand its backlash."
Liu Yuan was hesitant, but he made it clear to Li Qing Finally, Yufeng left the mountain.
After Liu Yuan left, Li Wei, who came with him, looked worried: "Uncle, privately growing the Nine Profound Fruits is a taboo in Yanling Valley. I'm afraid you are seeking skin from a tiger!"
"Don't I know?" Li Qing was helpless, "This person is backed by two major foundation-building cultivators, and he has the handle on me. For the time being, I can only surrender before trying anything else."
I'm afraid that people will look at me too much. Za, Za Za, Li Qing did not inform the family about the contracting of this hilltop. He only wanted to provide others with technical guidance on the management and protection of spiritual plants.
If it hadn't been for half a month of "retreat for healing" every once in a while, and Lingfeng needed someone to take care of it, Li Qing wouldn't have even informed Li Wei, who was from the same family and shared weal and woe.
Li Wei comforted and said: "Don't worry, uncle, I will keep this matter secret. I will also take good care of this place when you are in retreat."
With that said, without waiting for Li Qing's request, she He first made an oath to keep it secret.
"Why is it necessary?" Li Qing has always been very satisfied with her, and now he appreciates her even more when he sees that she can take on tasks.
He casually handed the map of Lingfeng to Li Wei: "Jiuxuan fruit trees, like species repel each other, should be separated as much as possible."
"This tree requires a lot of spiritual energy. Although it has the spiritual stone provided by Liu Daoyou as a supplement, it still needs spiritual energy nodes for support."
"In addition, the Jiuxuan Fruit Tree is of great importance, and the planting point cannot be too close. "
After talking about these three points, he immediately became the boss: "You should be careful and find a good place for these ten seeds!"
Li Wei didn't say much, picked up the map, took out the compass, and went to find the planting spot of the Jiuxuan Fruit Tree.
Li Qing nodded, activated the magic circle with the cardinal talisman left by Liu Yuan, covered the top of the mountain, and sat cross-legged on the ground, examining the lettuce seeds in his hand.
Liu Yuan is very good at growing spiritual vegetables. He has collected and cultivated more than thirty kinds of lettuce seeds.
Li Qing specially picked out one of the top-grade seeds, shook it in his hand, and called A-Sun out: "Look, what gift did I bring you?"
A-Sun When I saw the lettuce seeds, I was very happy. I rushed towards them with a "beep" sound, rubbing this kind and looking at that. I just regretted that my eyes were not enough.
Li Qing was persuasive: "There are so many different types of lettuce, and Asun will soon grow taller."
Asun was so happy that he nodded repeatedly: "Hey!" Li Qing added: "It's a pity that I'm so busy with trivial matters that I don't have much time. How about this kind of lettuce?"
A-Sun puffed out his chest without hesitation and pointed at himself with the tip of his tail: "Hey!"
"I can leave it to you with confidence? That's okay." Li Qingxiao Then he put the lettuce seeds on the ground, "Let me see the results of your practice. Let's soak them to germinate first!"
A'sun shrouded the spiritual seeds in the green wood light and started working happily. .
Li Qing clapped his hands with satisfaction, stood up, and made plans for this spiritual peak.
The spiritual energy here is obviously weaker, and not many high-grade spiritual plants can be planted. Since we can’t hire other people, we can only cut out the complicated and simplify it.
He quickly made up his mind: "Let's just use it as a vegetable garden. Mainly lettuce, and plant some other spiritual vegetables."
There are obvious differences with Liu Yuan. Unlike other spiritual planters who specialize in spiritual planting, Li Qing is extremely talented in spiritual planting and has basically no shortcomings.
You can grow spiritual medicines, you can grow spiritual rice, you can grow spiritual fruits, you can also grow spiritual vegetables.
He took out another map, wrote and drew on it, and quickly arranged the spiritual peak.
Two hours later, Li Wei came back with her results with a tired look on her face, and saw Li Qing setting up a small table and drinking tea leisurely there.
On a stone nearby, Asun collapsed on the ground from exhaustion, with seeds scattered on the ground beside him. Ah Zao jumped up and down on it, as if he was getting a massage.
"Uncle, I have chosen the location." Li Wei presented the drawing to Li Qing for review, picked up A-Sun and used magic to soothe it.
Li Qing took it and looked at it carefully. He only crossed out one of the core nodes of Lingfeng and changed another one: "Well, the choice is just right. I will plant it roughly according to your drawing. Let’s do it!”
Li Wei was stunned for a moment: “Uncle, is this a bit hasty! How can I be qualified for such an important task because my skills are still relatively young?”
Li Qing smiled: "This Jiuxuan Fruit Tree is said to be the secret of Yanling Valley. It is difficult for non-second-level spiritual planters to grow it, but in my opinion, it is not so evil!"
He took out A good-looking seed was handed to Li Wei along with a jade slip: "These are the Jiuxuanguo planting notes I compiled. You can understand it now. Once you are sure, try to germinate it again!"
Li Wei panicked, but looking at Li Qing's uncompromising eyes, she gritted her teeth and took over the assignment: "Don't worry, uncle, I won't let you down!"
Li Qing nodded slightly and said, Taking the asparagus shoots and the sprouted lettuce seeds, they headed towards the spiritual energy node at the core of Lingfeng.
“Come on! Asun, plant your cordyceps here!”
Asun sniffed the dense and dense spiritual energy around him, feeling tired all over his body. He opened his mouth and sprayed Cordyceps the size of rice grains onto the nodes.
The green lettuce and cordyceps grow in the wind and soon take root at the nodes.
A stream of pure spiritual energy poured into Asun's body along the cordyceps, making it a little fuzzy: "Err!"
Li Qing smiled and pinched its horn: "Exclusively occupying the core node of a spiritual peak is a privilege that I have never enjoyed. Ah Sun, you have to work hard, otherwise we will not be able to rent this mountain."
A Sun is very serious. Nodding, the green wood magic light circulated around him, rolling up lettuce spiritual seeds one by one, and began the great cause of farming to earn spiritual stones to support the family.
Thank you [Moyi] for the 100-point reward.
