In front of Mingyue Tower, Chen Qing sorted out his clothes.
Looking at the dim lights, red cherries and green willows in front of me, I can't help but sigh: "It's all for life, how hard it is!"
After saying this, he walked into Mingyue Tower, and soon a pretty young lady put her arm around him and led him inside.
"What do you want to do today, sir?"
The sound was so soft and crisp that it made one's bones go weak.
Chen Qing took out a low-grade spirit stone from his arms and threw it into the young lady's arms, "Let's find a good spot on the second floor to listen to the music."
Going up to the second floor, there were many chirping birds, as if entering a peacock's nest, with a faint fragrance floating in the air between the soft jade and the warm scent.
Sitting down at a window seat, the beautiful lady on the stage opened her cherry-like lips, and a clear and melodious tune filled her ears, making her forget her sorrows and start to salivate.
Professional indeed!
The pretty young lady waved her beauty fan, "My dear, would you like something to drink?"
Chen Qing reached into his bosom, took out thirty low-grade spirit stones and placed them on the table, "Pour a pot of wine for everyone present."
As he spoke, Chen Qing took out another low-grade spirit stone and threw it into the young lady's arms, "Do you understand what I mean?"
The young lady smiled and gently pushed Chen Qing with her pretty hand, "I understand."
Soon, one pretty young lady after another came up with drinks and served a pot of wine to everyone present.
When those people asked, they pointed at Chen Qingyu.
Those who were served drinks bowed to Chen Qing, and Chen Qing smiled and bowed in return.
As the drinks came up one by one, Chen Qing saw a new scholar take a sip, then stood up and asked, "I wonder what this Taoist friend who invited us to dinner is doing?"
Chen Qing thought that the people in Mingyue Tower were indeed good at making arrangements, as the scholar was clearly brought here to serve his young lady.
Chen Qing stood up, clasped his fists, and laughed, "I am Chen Qing from Wuyou Mountain Hanbo Cave. I am now at the third level of Qi Refining. Fortunately, the sect has shown me kindness and I received a Grass Spirit Gu."
"Now that I have hope for a better life, I am happy and would like to invite you all to share my joy!"
After hearing this, many people immediately raised their glasses of wine, "Grass Spirit Gu, that's a good thing!"
"I see. Congratulations, fellow Taoist!"
"Then I'll have to ask you to help me with the Gu Ling grass in our spiritual fields in the future!"
"This is extremely useful news."
After chatting with these people for a while, Chen Qing knew that after today, many people would know that he had a Grass Spirit Gu.
It's just thirty low-grade spirit stones. I don't feel bad about it. I don't feel bad about it.
Chen Qing used the remaining spirit stones to buy some rice and meat, then went to the stall area and walked around for a while before he made the discovery.
"Brother, how much is this Earth Spirit Crystal?"
The Taoist in green robe said, "Five low-grade spirit stones for one penny."
Chen Qing said with some disdain: "There is still dust in here, it doesn't look pure at first glance."
"What if my Gu insect gets sick from eating it?"
The Taoist in green robe said: "This is fresh, so there must be ash. How about this, I will give you four low-grade spirit stones and one penny."
Chen Qing took out the last twenty spirit stones from his spirit stone bag and said, "Give me half a tael."
Returning to Hanbo Cave at night, Chen Qing looked at his empty spirit stone bag.
During the day, it was filled with fifty-six spirit stones, but now, they are all gone.
Alas, life forces me.
Speaking of which, the young lady's hands were really soft today.
Hiss.
Chen Qing cut the bacon he bought into thin slices, arranged it neatly in a circle on the rice, and put it into the pot.
After a while, the fragrance filled the air, and I picked up three small cabbages from Li He's field.
When mixed with hot bacon rice, it is so delicious that it makes your mouth water.
I took a look at the Grass Spirit Gu and found that its growth progress had changed from 18 to 24.
"One coin of Rehmannia glutinosa can increase growth progress by 6 points."
Chen Qing put in a penny of Earth Spirit Crystal and held up the rice bowl, "I'll eat, and you'll eat too."
There was no news the next day, so Chen Qing simply went to the spiritual plant elder to continue taking work.
After working in the sect for three consecutive days, Chen Qing returned home one day and saw a boy waiting at the door.
"But Senior Chen?"
Chen Qing asked: "What's the matter?"
The boy said, "My master asked me to ask you if you are free in the next few days. He and a few friends need to take care of the spiritual fields, so he sent me here to ask you."
Chen Qing asked: "Who is your master?"
The boy said, "Ye Botong from Qingyu Temple."
Chen Qing smiled and said, "It's Fellow Daoist Ye. I've been very busy these past few days, but since Fellow Daoist Ye asked me to come, I can only go."
"I'll be here in the next few days."
The boy responded happily, "Thank you, Senior Chen."
After asking Li He about Ye Boyong's background and learning that he was a crane breeder, Chen Qing felt relieved.
Generally speaking, those who make a living by producing attribute Gu usually care more about their reputation, otherwise they will not be able to survive here.
And after hearing that Ye Botong was also a disciple of Wuyou Mountain, Chen Qing felt more at ease.
After six consecutive days of tending to the thirty acres of spiritual fields, Ye Botong was probably very busy, as Chen Qing only saw Ye Botong when it was time to settle the bill on the sixth day.
He accepted the thirty spirit stones from Ye Boyong, and took out two of them and handed them back.
"We don't need that much in our friendship."
Ye Botong did not pretend and raised his hand to accept it. "Actually, this is the spiritual field of me and the four Taoist friends around me. It's just that they are out in the foreign affairs and are taking care of it for me."
Chen Qing smiled and said, "You and I are friends, there's no need to explain it so clearly."
He paused, then looked at the two spirit stones and said, "It's just that this matter is not something that can be told to outsiders."
Ye Boyong nodded and smiled: "Hahaha, don't worry, Fellow Daoist Chen."
Chen Qing didn't want to let outsiders know because he was afraid that others would say that he had ruined the market and caused dissatisfaction among other cultivators who possessed Grass Spirit Gu.
Ye Boyong was because these two spirit stones were taken from thirty acres of spirit fields. He actually only had four acres, which meant he only spent half the money, so he naturally wouldn't let the four people know.
The two smiled at each other, and said goodbye after having a good meal and a few drinks.
During these days, Chen Qing gradually began to realize that, generally speaking, cultivators who possessed Grass Spirit Gu could only take care of about three acres of land a day with their Grass Spirit Gu, and very few could take care of four acres of land.
This Grass Spirit Gu of mine is really a great treasure.
Thinking of this, he felt more and more that the bundle of Gu Ling grass and ten low-grade spirit stones were worth it.
"We have to find time to visit Elder Chen again."
"People who move around frequently are the ones who are favored."
When he first came to this world, the first person he was familiar with was Elder Chen, who also gave him a lot of support.
Although Elder Chen is old, he is a great practitioner at the eighth level of Qi Refining after all.
A few days' wages in exchange for Elder Chen's favor is a profitable deal no matter how you look at it.
In the past half month, many fellow disciples from nearby came to invite him. After Chen Qing finished his work, he took the time to visit Elder Chen.
I bought a bottle of ginseng wine worth ten low-grade spirit stones from Li He, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't be greeted with a smile by Elder Chen this time.
Instead, he scolded him severely, saying that he had just found a way to make money and he didn't know the importance of buying such expensive things.
She scolded him earnestly again, "You just got the Gu worm now, it's time to accumulate, don't spend money recklessly."
"You should practice harder, you are still young."
He talked on and on for half an hour and then invited Chen Qing to have dinner. Only then did Chen Qing bow and say goodbye with gratitude.
Looking at the wine in his hand that had not been given away, he said, "I didn't expect that Elder Chen is such a kind and honest elder."
Recalling what Li He had said about how dangerous the area outside Wuyou Mountain was, Chen Qing began to wonder how Elder Chen had lived to this age.
On the way back, Li He called Chen Qing while holding his bowl, "Have you heard that Senior Brother Wu is lame?"
Chen Qing asked, "Is it Senior Brother Wu who is at the fourth level of Qi Refining?"
Li He nodded, "Well, he only has one sword Gu, and now he is lame, I guess not many people will want to take risks with him in the future."
I don't know why, but Chen Qing felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
He now likes to hear about the troubles that happen to the practitioners who choose the fighting poisonous insects.
Especially this first poisonous insect chose the fighting type.
You see, he likes to be aggressive and aggressive, and now something bad has happened!
Our production system is still stable.
So Chen Qing tore off a chicken leg from the plate in front of Li He and sat on the doorstep side by side with Li He. "Tell me in detail, tell me in detail."
Li He became more and more energetic. "He only has one sword Gu, and now his leg is broken. His fighting power must be greatly reduced. I think it will be difficult to deal with him."
Chen Qing nodded in agreement, "What if no one wants it?"
Li He smiled and said, "I heard that he is now preparing to spend all his money to buy a prosthetic leg. I guess he is preparing to find a job somewhere else."
Chen Qing understood what he meant and pretended that he was not lame. "But this is not a long-term solution. Sooner or later, you will be discovered."
Li He nodded, "That's right, our production department is still safer."
After eating half of Li He's chicken, Chen Qing returned to his cave with satisfaction.
He opened the bed and found twenty-eight spirit stones neatly arranged inside. "Does this count as sleeping on money?"
The money spent on Mingyue Tower was not wasted.
After carefully counting all the spirit stones again, Chen Qing prepared to take a look at his precious poisonous insect.
[Ordinary Grass Spirit Gu]
Quality: Seventh turn
Lifespan: 42/65
Effect: Take care of the Gu Ling grass within a five-acre area and increase its growth rate and quality
Growth requirements: Earth Spirit Crystal, Rehmannia ochre, Spiritual Transformation
Growth rate: 42/100
Promotion requirements: 9th turn, 10 drops of Mother Earth Spirit Liquid, 1 Soul-stealing Flower
After this period of feeding, he basically understood how the three materials could improve growth progress.
One penny of Earth Spirit Crystal can increase the growth progress by 3 points, which is equivalent to five low-grade spirit stones.
One coin of Rehmannia glutinosa can increase the growth progress by 6 points, which is equivalent to nine low-grade spirit stones.
One piece of Spiritual Transformation can increase the growth progress by 8 points, which is equivalent to ten low-grade Spiritual Stones.
"It seems that it is cheaper to cultivate it with spiritual transformation."
Chen Qing counted all his possessions and found that he still had three coins of Rehmannia glutinosa, which he had accidentally gained in the previous year.
Twenty-eight spirit stones, a rusty sword, three sets of clothes, three pieces of bacon, and fifty kilograms of rice.
He picked up a branch and counted on the ground, "The most economical way is to buy 4 more pieces of Spiritual Exfoliation, one coin of Ochre Rehmannia, and one coin of Earth Spiritual Crystal."
"Fifty-four spiritual stones in total."
"If the initial progress is zero, the number of low-grade spirit stones required to advance from the seventh to the eighth level should be about 130."
"That's twenty-six days' wages."
"It doesn't seem very expensive."
