Chapter 7 Daily Work
Taking care of white corn simply means weeding, removing insects and watering.
It is easy to say, but not easy to implement.
Take pest control as an example. The monks must learn the Geng Metal Technique, and then find the bugs, and then successfully kill the bugs without harming the white corn.
Insects will not kill you in the most conspicuous place, and they will run away.
Ordinary bugs cannot eat white corn, which is a spiritual plant. These bugs can already be called spiritual bugs. If they encounter advanced spiritual bugs, they will be more difficult to kill.
For the monks who have just taken care of the spiritual plants, pest control is their biggest headache.
However, for Li Qianqing, getting rid of pests is particularly simple.
He has given birth to spiritual consciousness.
It is too easy to use spiritual consciousness to find these low-level spiritual insects, it is like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.
‘Finish today’s task first. ’
Li Qianqing started the pest control work first, and his spiritual consciousness unfolded directly. It was different from what he saw with his eyes. Under the glance of his spiritual consciousness, he could see clearly what was on the white corn plants.
It doesn’t take a stick of incense to burn an acre of spiritual land, but it has already been tested.
The first acre of spiritual land was normal, not a single insect was seen.
When one-third of the second acre of spiritual land was detected, something was discovered.
A hornworm!
The hornworm is one of the most common pests on white corn. The color of its body is exactly the same as that on the white corn plant. Its body is smaller than an ordinary person’s fingernail. It likes to hide in white corn plants. in the stems and leaves.
The moment Li Qianqing discovered the horn plant worm, he stopped where he was and found a good angle to use the Geng Metal Technique.
It is very important to choose a good angle, so as to eliminate hornworms without damaging the white corn plants.
A golden slender light spot formed instantly and passed directly through the head of the hornworm.
The hornworm fell from the white corn plant and remained motionless.
Obviously this hornworm is already dead.
“Not bad.”
Li Qianqing was very satisfied with his first attempt to eliminate the hornworm.
The Geng Metal Technique at the Xiaocheng level can help him get rid of insects very well.
Li Qianqing came to the corpse of the hornworm and picked it up.
He left very small marks on the head of the hornworm and preserved the complete body. This is edible and tastes pretty good.
This horned plant insect has not yet advanced, but its body also contains energy that monks can digest and absorb.
Few Lingzhifus in the Qi refining stage can keep the corpse of the insect as complete as Li Qianqing. Many monks directly destroy the corpse of the insect when they use the Geng Metal Technique, and the remaining residue on the body is The energy is also pitiful.
Soon the pest control work on the three acres of spiritual field was completed.
Li Qianqing harvested three hornworms in total.
Without the complete corpse of the advanced hornworm, thirty or forty of them can be sold for a low-grade spiritual stone.
These three horned plant insects definitely did not appear today. They have been in the spiritual field for a while, but Li Qianbao did not eliminate them before.
The pest control work is over, and the next step is weeding.
These weeds grow wildly and compete with the white corn plants for spiritual energy. If they are not removed for a long time, the yield of white corn will be greatly reduced.
For Li Qianqing, weeding is just like other monks in the Qi refining stage. There is no advantage and he can only do it honestly.
Other people spend more time on weeding, but Li Qianqing spends more time on weeding.
Almost half an hour later, the weeding work was completed.
The last step is to add water to the white corn plants. The growth of white corn plants requires a lot of water. It didn't rain yesterday and it was sunny today, so water must be replenished.
At this time, it is time to perform the Rain Transformation Technique.
A little bit of spiritual energy gathered in the air, and then a cloud formed, and it started to rain. The spiritual energy in Li Qianqing's sea of energy began to decline at this time.
With three acres of spiritual land, Li Qianqing used the rain-making technique three times before he could water it.
"Completed."
Li Qianqing has completed all today's tasks, and the next step is his free time to practice.
It took Li Qianbao half the morning to complete the work of taking care of the three acres of first-class low-grade spiritual land. The time he spent was only half of Li Qianbao's.
This way, he will have more time left in the day.
Take care of the white corn plants once a day. This is the best balance between cultivation and harvest.
If you take care of it multiple times a day, you can even produce more than 1,200 kilograms of white corn per acre, but this greatly reduces the training time and puts the cart before the horse.
But if you take care of it for many days, the yield of white corn will be greatly reduced, the harvest will be poor all year round, and the spiritual energy generated by the spiritual veins will be wasted.
Li Qianqing returned to the cabin and began to deal with the corpse of the hornworm.
This thing is the most delicious when grilled!
A ball of light green flame ignited in his hand. This was brought about by the "Grass and Tree Flame Technique" and was called Grass and Tree Flame.
Generally, only the top fire attribute Qi refining period exercises will have their own flames.
The fuel used by the flames relies on the unique spiritual power generated by the monks' practice in the sea of qi.
Li Qianqing threaded three hornworms into a string, held them in his left hand, and roasted them back and forth on the light green flame produced by his right hand, and then the aroma came out.
"My own flames are still a bit weak. It will be more fragrant if I use the flames of burning spiritual wood."
The conditions are here, and there is no way.
In almost fifty breaths, Li Qianqing completed a delicacy he had made himself.
Drink it in one bite.
Crunchy!
The taste of hornworm meat instantly arouses in the mouth. After swallowing, a warm power wanders throughout the body, waiting for Li Qianqing to sit down and digest it.
Li Qianqing quickly finished enjoying the delicious food in his hands. He felt that it was too little.
The energy brought by the three hornworms was very limited, but it was enough to make up for the time he spent taking care of three acres of white corn.
After sitting cross-legged to absorb the energy slowly dissipating in the body, Li Qianqing began the day's practice.
Today he planned to use all the remaining time to improve his cultivation.
According to his current cultivation speed, it would take almost three years to enter the fifth level of Qi Refining. He would be sixteen years old at that time.
December.
The door opened, and there was light snow falling in the sky.
It has been two months since Li Qianqing officially started taking care of Lingtian.
Except for the beginning, it will take about four or five days before you are likely to encounter hornworms during the subsequent pest control work. After it starts to snow, hornworms are more difficult to find. For most spiritual planters, this is a good thing. Li Qianqing didn't think so, because he was missing a delicacy to eat. The most important thing was that he could easily kill the hornworm every time and preserve the complete body.
Unlike usual, I heard his familiar voice coming from a distance before I finished the weeding work today.
“Brother Qianqing.”
Li Qianyin is here.
