Chapter 328 Volume C One After Another, the Tree Wants to Be Still but the Wind Does Not Stop
Until the three of them left, Chen Huaisheng was still thinking about some of the information he had gained from the conversation with them.
The monthly increase is of course welcome, but the spiritual food, elixirs and spiritual materials that the Internal Affairs Department can provide are still seriously insufficient, far from meeting the needs of the sect's disciples and Taoist masters.
The Chonghua Sect was originally too weak in the construction of the Internal Affairs Department. There was neither a special monster taming garden nor a special spiritual plant and spiritual material plantation, and the elixir refining was also in a very weak state.
This is why elixirs such as Chongyuan Dan and Yunyuan Dan are so precious, because the number of elixirs refined in the sect is scarce and is not enough for use. That is, the output of Zuoyuan Dan is larger, but it is also often out of stock.
The lack of these spiritual food, spiritual materials and elixirs also forced the sect members to take other measures to ensure that they have enough for their practice.
For example, planting or hunting by themselves, or even refining, or buying from outside with spiritual stones, which not only greatly restrained the energy of these disciples, but also cost more.
The increase in the monthly allowance may be offset by this consumption, or even not enough.
Because the supply in Hebei is far less than that in Dazhao, and the merchant system is not perfect, if we have to go to Dazhao to purchase and transport them back, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the source and time will not be guaranteed.
Wu Tianen has already started construction, such as selecting several spiritual fields and setting up special spiritual plant and spiritual medicine plantations. On the one hand, it provides plant spiritual food other than spiritual millet, spiritual rice, corn and wheat for the people in the sect, and on the other hand, it also provides medicinal herbs for the preparation of elixirs.
It is still a bit difficult to set up a breeding farm specifically for providing monster meat. First, there is no experience, and the domestication of that kind of ungraded monster is not that simple; second, it costs a lot and the output is not enough; third, it is a process that requires long-term operation. Even if you start domestication now, it often takes several years or even more than ten or twenty years to see the effect.
A large sect can be called a large sect because they have a history of decades or even hundreds of years in these aspects. In this regard, the Chonghua Sect is still far behind.
The Chonghua Sect has some experience in preparing elixirs, but it is difficult to make elixirs without sufficient raw materials such as herbs, minerals, and animal bones, as well as special charcoal and stoves.
However, it is not Chen Huaisheng's turn to care too much about these. All he has to do is to remind Wu Tianen that the Chonghua Sect has a long way to go to become a large sect, not just to increase the number of disciples, or to have a few more purple palaces and foundation building.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the entire sect returned to normal.
Those who practiced in seclusion practiced in seclusion, those who went out to travel and look for opportunities to break through went out, and most of them were still practicing daily in the mountain gate.
However, for the sect, it is not just as simple as practicing. Since it has become a part of Hebei, Yanzhou, and Fuyang Dao, and it is a sect similar to the leader, then naturally it must take on the responsibility of the leader.
On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, and everyone thought it was a good day, but several bad news came in succession.
Bajiao Village, 300 miles away from Wolong Ridge, was attacked by the wolf pack again. Du Zhengxin, the head of the Du family in Bajiao Village, was attacked and killed by his brother Du Zhengge and his nephew Du Guangjie, and his cousin Du Zhengbin was seriously injured.
This is probably the heaviest loss of the Du family in Bajiao Village in the past hundred years.
Du Zhengge is the eighth level of foundation building, Du Zhengbin is the seventh level of foundation building, and Du Guangjie is the second level of foundation building. Two of the three foundation building died and one was seriously injured.
Everyone knows that these foundation building masters of the Du family are old and have been corroded by a long-term comfortable life. Their spiritual realm level is as watery as that of Yang Delong and Sun Yicheng of the Chonghua School.
However, the eighth level of foundation building and the seventh level of foundation building are still the strength of the fourth or fifth level of foundation building. The second level of foundation building should also have the strength of the peak of Qi refining. It is a bit scary that they were attacked by the wolf pack and suffered such a great loss.
In addition, in Huluji, which is adjacent to Zhaigu Road, a demon corpse appeared and brought disaster to the area.
Huluji is located at the southeast end, which is the border area between Bajiaozhai and Baitapu. Bajiaozhai is powerless to intervene now, and Baitapu thinks that the people of Huluji have been paying tribute to Bajiaozhai, so they naturally ignore it.
So the people of Huluji asked for help from the Fengyi Sect of Zhaigudao while asking for help from the Chonghua Sect, which is the farthest but also the leader of Fuyangdao.
There is another piece of news. Although it seems that it has nothing to do with Chonghua Sect for the time being, it still caused the worry and trouble of Chonghua Sect.
That is, more than ten disciples of Lingyun Sect fled to Fuyangdao, hoping to join Chonghua Sect.
This news even brought a greater impact than the previous two news. How could Lingyun Sect, which was more powerful than Chonghua Sect two or three years ago, fall into such a state?
A series of news came, and the atmosphere of the entire Chonghua Sect, which was originally immersed in the good day of the Dragon Raising its Head, was suddenly destroyed.
Chen Huaisheng squatted on the edge of the soil, feeling the strong heat from the surrounding Chiyan Yuanjiang, and couldn't help but unbutton his clothes.
In March, Yanzhou was still cold and warm. There was still some snow on the surrounding mountaintops. The green was already visible, and the white and green were interlaced, which looked quite different.
But in this valley, especially in this area, the heat was steaming and smoke was curling.
Digging up the soil on the surface, the round ostrich-like winged fire snake egg had already revealed a hint of lipstick color, like a flame hidden in the clouds, leaping out.
Chen Huaisheng gently touched the snake egg shell with his fingers, and seemed to feel that a life was being nurtured in the snake egg.
The eggshell has become somewhat soft, and a bit of fishy smell lingers. It seems that most of the spiritual energy on the eggshell has been absorbed by the life inside the egg.
"It will take at least two months." Chen Huaisheng sighed, and observed carefully for a while, then covered the soil again, clapped his hands, and stood up.
"That means April is coming soon. It's just right that this round of spiritual herbs and plants can be harvested. If we sow the seeds, the second round of spiritual herbs can be harvested in time for the Winged Fire Snake to hatch."
Min Qingyu's attention was still on the fire-type spiritual herbs. "It may take a few more days for the Pure Yang Purple Ganoderma and Golden Flame Bean, but the Fire Velvet and Fire Cloud Vine can be harvested today. The White Sun Grass is a little old."
Chen Huaisheng said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. The Fire Velvet and Fire Cloud Vine plus the White Sun Grass were originally prepared for the Winged Fire Snake in the future. It doesn't matter if they are a little old. On the contrary, the Pure Yang Purple Ganoderma and Golden Flame Bean are more precious. If they are old, the effect will not be suitable. They must be picked in time."
"The Yuanqi is almost done. Let's harvest it today." Min Qingyu looked at the Yuanqi that was growing well. "I checked the ancient books. Yuanqi can be harvested many times after planting once. And the effect gets better as time goes by."
"Qingyu, go over there and have a look. The rotten pine fungus and Taiyin Baizhi have almost been eaten. Harvest as much as you can. We have to do it together." Chen Huaisheng nodded, put his hands on his waist, and looked around: "This piece of land is a little narrow, and the soil fertility is limited, but it is enough for us to use."
"Master, the fire spirit grass is still not enough. Once the winged fire snake is hatched, it will eat a lot in the first three years. It will not be until the fifth age that the appetite will slowly stabilize. In addition, I checked the ancient books. If the winged fire snake wants to maintain its quality at the highest level, it must not only feed it with fire spirit plants, but also feed it with fire monster meat appropriately, so that its appearance can reach the best,..."
Hearing what Min Qingyu said, Chen Huaisheng couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He really didn't know this.
He only knew that the winged fire snake needed to be fed with fire spirit plants all the time, and it couldn't be skipped or replaced with other things. Even the best spirit food could only be used as a supplement, and fire spirit plants couldn't be missed at any meal.
Unexpectedly, Min Qingyu also found something he didn't know in the ancient book, "Which book?"
"The Record of Breaking Lice." Min Qingyu said softly, "It seems to be written by a previous cultivator named Duan in Xitang."
"Well, you are thoughtful." Chen Huaisheng nodded, "Sometimes spiritual cultivation will encounter bottlenecks, and spells will also be lacking due to the attributes of spiritual roots. Taming a suitable spiritual beast as an auxiliary is actually a good way to make up for it. Qingyu can also consider it, but at least he has to be in a high stage of Qi training before considering it."
As the two were talking, there was a slight tremor in Chen Huaisheng's sleeve. It was a flying bird sign.
Chen Huaisheng was a little surprised. He had only been out for half a day. Everyone in the mountain gate knew that he would go back in the afternoon. Who would be so impatient to send him a flying bird sign?
What's the big deal, so urgent?
Besides, if there is really something big, it seems that it won't be his turn to find him?
He opened the flying bird sign and saw that it was sent by Wu Tianen.
The flying bird sign can only be used one-to-one, and the inspiration mark on the sign can only be expressed by a few simple floating patterns of the cloud and water spirit seal.
This means to call me back to the mountain gate as soon as possible.
What could Wu Tianen call me back for?
He was a little unsure, but Chen Huaisheng did not dare to neglect it: "Qingyu, the matter of harvesting these spiritual plants is left to you. I have an urgent matter to go back to the mountain gate. You should come back as soon as you finish cleaning up."
Min Qingyu quickly nodded in agreement. This was the first time that Chen Huaisheng gave her such an important matter to handle alone: "Master, rest assured, I will do it according to your requirements."
Chen Huaisheng did not say much, stood up and flew towards the mountain gate.
Min Qingyu's expression slowly faded until Chen Huaisheng disappeared. After staring for a long time, as if sensing something, he said lightly: "Come out, he's gone."
A green smoke-like figure emerged from the crack in the ground ten feet away, approached and looked around, and said with a smile: "Qingyu, it seems that Chen Huaisheng values and trusts you very much. He brought you to such a precious land with so many spiritual plants and gave it to you to deal with. Haha, but why are you still a virgin? Is he Liu Xiahui sitting on a lap without being tempted, or is he physically ill?"
