Chapter 82 Affairs of the Spirit Planting Department
With Red Wolf unable to fly with his sword, Li Mu summoned the spirit boat from his storage bag and sailed in the air. Soon, he flew to Qinglong Valley and plunged headlong into the fantasy world. In the spiritual valley covered by the array.
"Woooo..." As soon as the red wolf landed on the ground, he immediately ran around excitedly, raising his legs from time to time and peeing as a mark.
Seeing this scene, Li Mu had the urge to whip it with a cane. However, the spiritual valley was too big to allow it to retain some flavor, which was unreasonable.
Watching the red wolf happily running to the green pool to drink water, Li Mu ignored it and walked into the stone house to a storage room and began to arrange the ice element array and transform it into an ice cellar.
Carving miniature array patterns on the stone wall, inlaying spirit stone power array eyes,... Li Mu followed the steps and arranged the array according to the ice element array diagram.
Of course, Li Mu also had some thoughts of his own when carving the formation patterns.
Li Mu tried to analyze the working principle of the ice element array by combining the modern scientific theories learned from the original world.
The Ice Element Array uses the spiritual power driven by the array patterns to forcibly strip away other attribute spiritual powers, and constructs an area that forcibly strips away the fire attribute spiritual energy, making the space within the array become cold, achieving a cooling effect.
The power to maintain the drive of the Ice Element Array comes from the spirit stones embedded in the eyes of the drive array.
The patterns of dozens of magic arrays each produce different effects. They have the following functions: peeling off certain spiritual energy, isolating spiritual energy, rejecting spiritual energy, outputting spiritual energy, stabilizing the array, regulating spiritual energy,..., etc., which are extremely complex. .
This kind of formation that strips away certain spiritual powers, Li Mu feels that with a little modification, many different paths can be created.
For example, collecting the fire spiritual energy stripped from the ice element array can create a greenhouse for cultivating fire spiritual plants. Another example is to transform the thunder element array that can peel off the thunder element energy. For restoring the fifth-level Thunder Book,... there are many research directions.
Half an hour later, Li Mu successfully carved out the pattern of the Ice Element Array, and embedded eighteen middle-grade spiritual stones in the eye area of the formation. With a soft 'crack' sound, the Ice Element Array was successfully activated, and a large number of Spiritual power emitted from the formation's eyes, squeezing away the fire spiritual power in the storage room.
The temperature in the storage room dropped rapidly. Soon, patches of white frost began to cover the walls of the storage room. The ice array took effect and the temperature dropped to below zero.
Li Mu glanced at the spirit stones inlaid in the formation. The eighteen middle-grade spirit stones collectively shrunk in a circle. This consumption rate could only last about ten days and a half. The consumption rate was a bit alarming.
However, this should be a special situation when the Ice Element Array is activated for the first time. After all the fire spiritual energy in the storage room is drained, you only need to maintain the magic circle. The ice element array's spiritual stone consumption will be Much lower.
Li Mu opened the storage bag, took out all the monster meat, and placed them piece by piece on the shelves in the storage room.
Then, Li Mu cut off a piece of Xuanyu carved leg meat of about two to three kilograms, closed the wooden door of the storage room, and went to the kitchen to cook lunch.
Li Mu took out the pots and pans from the storage bag and placed them on the wooden rack next to the stove. Then, he walked to the running water tank drawn from the Qingtan water, washed the carved meat,... , a brand new modern farmhouse kitchen, cooking and cooking is full of fun.
Li Mu was happily busy in the kitchen. He stir-fried wild vegetables and cooked braised pork. Feeling that it was not enough, Li Mu went straight to the edge of the Qingtan. With a quick glance, he immediately fished out a seven or eight kilogram black spirit fish and disemboweled it. Break the belly, scrape off the scales, wash, and steam in a pot.
Not long after, a steamed black spirit fish came out steaming hot.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [[wowwowwww...]" Chi Lang, who smelled the aroma of meat, had already been waiting under the dinner table impatiently, and whined at Li Mu.
"Your basin is over there! Bring it over." Li Mu pointed to the wooden basin prepared for the red wolf in the corner and gestured.
“Wang!” Red Wolf shouted excitedly, trotting over and holding the dog bowl in front of Li Mu.
Li Mu smiled and poured a large spoonful of spiritual rice into the dog bowl, then tore off half a piece of braised meat and a fish tail, and placed them in front of the red wolf: "Eat it!"
The red wolf took the meat in one bite. A large piece of meat was swallowed whole, and his eyes suddenly bulged.
Red Wolf lay on the ground sickly, losing interest in eating.
"What's wrong? Are you choking?" Li Mu didn't know why. He bent down and checked the red wolf's mouth, but found nothing abnormal.
"Uh-huh!" Red Wolf responded to Li Mu, indicating that it was fine and should take a moment.
Li Mu put down the red wolf's head angrily, sat down at the table, and began to enjoy the food.
Li Mu happily took a mouthful of spiritual rice and picked up a small piece of braised pork. After eating, he realized why Chi Lang had that expression.
The power contained in the meat of the second-order monster beast is more than ten times that of the meat of the first-order monster beast. After eating a small piece of meat, Li Mu immediately felt a sense of fullness, and his whole body felt warm and very... Comfortable.
Li Mu finished the meal with great difficulty, leaving most of the braised pork uneaten.
"If you have a chance, you have to go to the sect to learn a body-training technique!" Li Mu couldn't help but come up with this idea when he saw that there was still more than half of the braised pork that could not be finished.
Li Mu is no longer a novice in cultivation. He knows that the main reason why he cannot digest the second-level Xuanyu Carved Flesh is that his body is not strong enough. Secondly, his practice skills are too low-level. The five five elements skills he practices are only yellow. The spiritual power absorption effect of the high-level skills is too poor, making it difficult to fully absorb the spiritual power contained in high-level food.
Looking at the red wolf still lying dead on the ground, Li Mu sighed. He couldn’t be more demanding. Raising a red wolf is like raising an Erha pet. It only serves the purpose of companionship and entertainment. Li Mu didn’t expect it to have the function. How much fighting power.
Li Mu neatly packed up the dishes, left the stone house, and began to inspect the hundred acres of spiritual land that had been reclaimed.
Finding the weeds that had survived by chance, Li Mu easily used a withering technique. The soil in the field was very hard, so he added a plowing technique... After going through all the hundreds of acres of fields, it took two more hour.
The spirit-gathering array and the spirit-guiding array take effect at the same time. There is sufficient spiritual power in the spiritual valley. Li Mu estimated the spiritualization speed of a hundred acres of fields. It is expected that the spiritualization of the fields will be completed in about 20 days and converted into low-grade. Ling Tian, by then, you can start sowing.
Li Mu’s plan for the hundred acres of spiritual land is very simple. Fifty acres will be planted with wind spirit grass (3 months), thirty acres will be planted with white jade spirit rice (6 months), and another twenty acres will be planted with Cuiling fruits (9 months). , the growth period of Fengling grass is short, and it can be harvested in 3 months. If you harvest it two or three times in a row, I believe that when the Cuiling fruit can be harvested, it will definitely help him build a foundation smoothly.
I don’t know if the "Yin Yang and Five Elements Jing" was sent from the sect.
Li Mu sighed silently, a little anxious, everything was ready, but now he lacked this cultivation technique that could allow him to build his foundation.
This matter is related to the responsibilities of the disciples of the Gongfa Hall. He should not be negligent in his duties!
That’s right! We have to go to the sect’s headquarters.
He is now one of the disciples in charge of Qingxuan Sect in Qingshui Town, and he has the responsibility of the Lingzhi Division.
Li Mu quickly took off with his sword, flew out of Qinglong Valley, and flew towards the nearby Qingshui Town.
In less than a moment, Li Mu's sword landed in the sect's resident compound in Qingshui Town.
“I’ve met, senior brother!”
“Common servant disciple Xiao Cheng, I’ve met senior brother.”
... All the handyman disciples stationed in the courtyard looked at Li Mu with envy, and all raised their hands in salutes.
"Well! Where is Senior Brother Nangong?" Li Mu nodded to the servant disciples and asked casually.
"Senior Brother Nangong is here to entertain guests, Master Ling, Master Chen, and others, and discuss the fight in three days. Senior brother, do you want me to take you there?" Xiao Cheng, the handyman disciple, stepped forward first, enthusiastically introduced.
"No need, I am the new disciple in charge of the Ling Zhi Division. It is my second time to come to the resident compound and I am not very familiar with it. Please take me to the Ling Zhi Division!" Li Mu waved his hand and ordered. .
"Okay, senior brother, please come this way!" Xiao Cheng nodded happily, gestured, and walked in front to lead the way.
Soon, under the guidance of Xiao Cheng, Li Mu arrived at a two-in-four courtyard in Lingzhi Division.
“This main room is where senior brother works. The main hall is the reception area, and the next door is the lounge. The largest room is the Lingzhi warehouse. You can go to the cafeteria for three meals a day, and you can also let others The disciples sent..., there are twelve handyman disciples serving in the Lingzhi Division. Among them, the handyman disciple Chu Shuyuan has been working the longest, having worked for three years, and he knows the work of the Lingzhi Division the best. There is also Ding Zhenghong, Junior Brother Ding is mainly responsible for taking care of the warehouse,..." Xiao Cheng enthusiastically introduced the situation of Lingzhi Division to Li Mu one by one, and kept talking.
Li Mu nodded with satisfaction. After Xiao Cheng's introduction, the situation of Lingzhi Division was clear at a glance, and he even had a clue about the arrangement of work, which was very good.
"Hmm! Don't the Lingzhi Division have twelve handyman disciples on duty? Why don't we see anyone?" Li Mu looked at the empty Lingzhi Division compound and asked in confusion.
"This, this, they may have gone out to inspect Zongtian. In thirteen days, it seems that Zongtian will accept the rent! They should go to verify the situation of Zongtian!" Xiao Cheng opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain, guessing explain.
"Well done, I'll reward you with this bottle of Qi Gathering Pill!" Li Mu took out a pill bottle and threw it to Xiao Cheng.
"Thank you, thank you, senior brother!" Xiao Cheng was overjoyed, took the elixir bottle and thanked him gratefully.
"Excuse me, please call all the handyman disciples who serve in the Lingzhi Division." Li Mu smiled slightly and signaled.
"No problem! Senior brother, please wait a moment, I'll be right back." Xiao Cheng quickly agreed, saying a few words, leaving the Lingzhi Division as if escaping, and helped Li Mu summon the friends of the Lingzhi Division. Went.
Li Mu looked around the lobby of the Lingzhi Department, then walked around the warehouse, checking the warehouse's protective array, and frowned.
The warehouse where the Ling Zhi Division stores Zong Tian’s tenant Ling Zhi is only guarded by a simple early warning array, and there is also a protective array that is not activated by embedded spiritual stones, huh! Probably the spiritual plant has not been put into the warehouse yet, so it has not been started!
In order to ensure the safety of the warehouse, let’s secretly add a Five Elements and Eight Extremes Formation to the warehouse when the time comes!
After inspecting several buildings inside Lingzhi Division, Li Mu made a decision in his mind.
"Senior brother, you have lived up to your trust. I have called you." Xiao Cheng led a large group of people and ran to Li Mu, breathing heavily to report.
"Well, thank you for your hard work!" Li Mu smiled and nodded, his eyes scanning the faces of the twelve disciples who were looking away and worried.
“Greetings, Brother Steward!”
“I’ve seen you, Senior Brother!”
……
The twelve servant disciples were uneasy. He greeted Li Mu with a thin voice.
"Senior brother, you're welcome. If nothing happens, I'll leave first." Xiao Cheng greeted Li Mu knowingly and left the Lingzhi Division quickly.
Watching Xiao Cheng walk away, Li Mu's eyes fell on the twelve handyman disciples and lectured: "Why were you lazy during your shift in the Ling Zhi Department? What did you do? I don't want to argue with you. However, Zong Tian's rent payment day is approaching. You must stay in the best condition for me this month and be on standby at all times. You are not allowed to leave the station compound for even half a step. Did you hear this? "
Hearing this, the twelve servant disciples looked like this. Tu, all of them looked at each other as if they were constipated. They had something to say but didn't dare to say it, and they were unwilling to obey Li Mu's order.
"What, just ask if you have any questions?" Li Mu asked with a sullen face, puzzled.
“Senior Brother, in previous years, strict duty started on the rent payment day. It’s too early to start now!”
"Yes! I still have a sick old mother at home to take care of. I can't leave the hospital for even half a step. It's impossible!"
"Brother, I have dozens of colorful chickens and two giant pigs. ,..."
"My Taoist companion is nine months pregnant and is about to give birth. I really can't get away."
...
As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, ten The two handyman disciples complained one after another at your words and my words. Each had their own reasons for not being able to obey the orders, and they couldn't help themselves.
Li Mu chuckled. He guessed that the position of the disciples in charge of the Lingzhi Division had been vacant for a long time. He had raised a bunch of handyman disciples who were just eating and not doing anything. No wonder he couldn't even look at them just now. They must have all left their posts without permission and were busy with their own affairs. Went.
Just like some agencies and departments in the original world, they have developed bad habits. He has given orders, but they still dare to find reasons to refuse the arrangements!
To be honest, if it weren't for the position assigned by the sect, Li Mu wouldn't want to take the position of the disciple in charge of the Ling Zhi Division, which would bring a lot of things for himself.
Now, if the sect fails to collect the rent, or if something goes wrong, the blame will fall on him. Li Mu has no choice but to push everything to them. Who allowed him to pass through the outer gate? In the assessment of disciples, their status is one level higher than that of handyman disciples.
"There must be a lot of handyman disciples who want to join the Lingzhi Division! You have received the sect's salary for a year, and you have hardly done anything. Now you have something to do, and who has no time to say it? , I approve his departure from Lingzhi Division," Li Mu said with a smile.
As soon as Li Mu said these words, all the handyman disciples felt as if their throats were stuck, and they couldn't make any excuses.
Are you kidding? The position in the Lingzhi Division is just a fat job. In order to find a job, sometimes the spirit stone is not stuffed in place, and you can't even find it.
The affairs of the Spiritual Planting Department all year round include paying rent, distributing spiritual seeds, and cultivating spiritual fields. There is not much work on weekdays, and most of them are white-collar salaries. No one wants to lose this position.
"Brother in charge, my mother will ask my brother to take care of me. I am willing to follow the arrangements of my brother and strictly implement them."
"Yes! My Taoist companion can just let my mother take care of me. I am also willing to Comply.”
"Me too!"
......
The servant disciples nodded like garlic, showed flattering smiles to Li Mu, and expressed their willingness to comply.
Li Mu's words hit their fatal target, and all the handyman disciples immediately became extremely obedient.
Li Mu smiled with satisfaction and began to arrange for the handyman disciples to work, including those who cleaned the Lingzhi Department, those who cleaned the warehouse... The scene was busy.
