Volume 1, Chapter 98, One Year
Time flies.
In a flash, it was already more than the sixth month of Ye Mo's stay in Qingyun Immortal Academy.
The Xuaniron ore he stored in the ancient painting was completely exhausted, and most of it was refined into the Xuantie Spirit Sword by Ah Li, and sold for his daily cultivation expenses.
The remaining few hundred catties of ore were given to Wang Hu and Yang You. The two of them want to learn the refining weapon, so they can use this material, and they don't need to buy it separately. The materials of the Dark Iron Refinery can be recycled and re-refined.
Without the iron ore, the source of income will be cut off.
Ye Mo had considered buying the Xuantie Ore from the market in the Immortal City, refining it into the Xuantie Spirit Sword and then selling it. But after he tried, he had to give up the idea.
The cost of sourcing bastarite is high.
Qingyun Immortal City is a huge main immortal city, not Donglai Immortal Village. The lowest-grade spiritual weapon like the Xuantie Spirit Sword, if you set up a stall here, you won't be able to sell a single one in ten days and half a month.
At the very least, the Five Elements Spirit Sword is required before a Qi cultivation period monk will ask for it.
I want to refine the Five Elements Spirit Sword, but I don't have a refining blueprint, so I don't even have a place to buy it.
There are a large number of various drawings in Qingunsen-in, but you must be an official castle lord to have the right to buy them.
The number of times Ye Mo entered the ancient painting scroll was also significantly reduced, and he only occasionally went in to see the little fox Ah Li, the earth chicken Ah Pheasant, and the fire crow Xiaohuo.
"What has the master been busy with lately, and he rarely comes to see Ah Li?"
The little green fox was a little strange.
"I'm trying to find a way to earn spirit stones. Now that there are no ores to refine, I have to think of other options. ”
Ye Mo said with some worry.
"Find a way to earn spirit stones?! Ah Li can refine weapons and alchemy. However, alchemy requires an elixir formula, as well as the corresponding elixir materials, and I can refine it. However, alchemy is different from refining, once alchemy is refined, the elixir material cannot be recycled. At the beginning of alchemy, if you are not skilled enough, you will definitely not be able to earn spirit stones. ”
Ali immediately talked about another of its skills.
"Alchemy? no, it's not just a matter of skill, but the alchemy formula can't be bought at all. Formulas, maps, etc., are monopolized in the hands of Xiancheng and large and small chambers of commerce, and are not passed on. ”
Ye Mo shook his head with a wry smile and said.
"In addition to refining weapons and alchemy, you can also grow spirit valleys and elixirs and raise spirit beasts in the spirit field here. These don't need drawings, can the master earn spirit stones?"
Ah Li tilted her little head and came up with an idea.
"Farming? How many things can be planted in that acre of land? And farming is too slow, one harvest a year. Even if one acre of Spirit Valley can earn dozens of spirit stones, it is not enough at all. I spent a lot of money to study in the Immortal Academy, and I had to have dozens or hundreds of acres of spiritual land to barely be enough.
Domesticating spirit beasts is even less valuable, the growth cycle of low-level spirit beasts is generally as long as decades, it is estimated that I am old, and the spirit beasts have not grown up yet. Except for the great family of immortal cultivators that have been passed down from generation to generation, there will be no scattered cultivators to raise spirit beasts. ”
Ye Mo still shook his head.
"One harvest a year? No, Linggu only needs three days! You can ask Ah Pheasant. Every day, when it is idle, it wanders around the spiritual field and plants its few spiritual valleys. It eats one of the Spirit Valleys every day, and if it was only harvested once a year, those Spirit Valleys would have been eaten by it long ago. ”
Aliqi said.
"Harvest every three days? How is this possible? A-Li, are you serious?"
Ye Mo suddenly stood up in shock.
He had already seen that there were a few lonely spirit valleys in the ancient painting spirit field, which had been growing in the field, and the proud Luan bird A Pheasant often turned around in the spirit field, but he had not taken it to heart.
I didn't expect those spirit valleys in the spiritual field to be harvested every three days.
"Of course it's true! Spirit Valley grows fast, three days is enough. However, that mu of spiritual field has always been occupied by Ah Pheasant, and it eats alone, and it doesn't let me and Xiaohuo go over. ”
Ah Li was obviously a little dissatisfied with Ah Pheasant's behavior of occupying Lingtian.
"In the outside world, it is a harvest every year, but here it is a harvest every three days. In this way, the growth rate of the spiritual field in this ancient painting, the spiritual valley is a hundred times faster than the outside."
Ye Mo didn't care about the little green fox's complaints, he was completely shocked.
This ancient painting scroll artifact was more powerful than he had imagined. That Mu Lingtian, which had been ignored by him, actually had such a magical ability.
Ye Mo was extremely looking forward to it, a hundred times the growth rate, this was too amazing.
If this is the case, it may be able to solve the problem of not having enough spirit stones.
"Ah Pheasant refuses to obey me. The owner has to tell it himself!"
Ah Li jumped on Ye Mo's shoulder and said.
Ye Mo nodded, came out of the Refining Pavilion, and arrived at the mu of spiritual field in front of the thatched house.
"Master, you want to plant the Spirit Valley?"
Seeing Ye Mo coming to the spiritual field, Ah Pheasant couldn't help but raise his head.
"I want to plant some spiritual herbs, elixirs, and the like. Ah Li said, this spiritual field is your territory, how can you plant it?"
Ye Mo nodded and said.
"The owner only needs to provide the seeds, and the pheasant takes care of the farming. However, in order for the seed to grow, there must be enough spirit stones.
It takes three days for the Spirit Valley to mature, and I haven't planted other spiritual creatures, and the time is different for each one. However, as long as the aura is stronger, it can grow quickly. ”
Ah Pheasant held his head high, as if looking at the roof of the refining workshop.
"Provide spirit stones, but Ah Li said that you eat a spirit valley every day, and I haven't seen you use spirit stones. ”
Ye Mo's face changed. He wanted to rely on this spiritual field to earn spirit stones, not to spend spirit stones.
"Ancient paintings will absorb a small amount of spiritual energy from the outside world, and I have only planted three spiritual valleys, which consume very little spiritual energy, so naturally there is no need for spiritual stones. The master wants to plant the Spirit Valley on a large scale, and the spiritual energy stored in this ancient painting is definitely not enough, and it must be replenished in large quantities. ”
Ah Pheasant glanced at Ye Mo.
Ye Mo's mind couldn't help but run rapidly.
The spirit stone provides spiritual energy for the growth of spiritual objects, and the spiritual field accelerates the growth of spiritual objects. If the spirit stones earned by selling the elixir are more than the spirit stones consumed, then it is still earned.
"I'll go to Immortal City and buy some spiritual herb seeds to come back, it's not feasible to try it. ”
Ye Mo thought for a while and immediately said.
The value of the Spirit Valley is not high, and there are only dozens of spirit stones in the Spirit Valley with an acre of output. Anyway, if you want to farm, it's better to just plant higher-value spiritual herbs, and the profits will be higher.
He hurried out of Qingyun Immortal Temple.
After strolling around the streets for a while, I entered a medicinal herb shop in Xiancheng.
But after a while, Ye Mo's face turned ugly.
These herb shops did not even have elixir seeds or seedlings for sale, they were all finished dried elixir herbs.
Ye Mo asked the clerk only to learn that the elixir seeds were controlled in the hands of the major plantations, and they could not be bought in the elixir herb shop.
Moreover, there is an inch of land and spirit stones in Qingyun Immortal City, and the monks in the city have no place, so they will not spend this time and energy to grow elixirs. Naturally, herbal medicine shops will not stock it.
Ye Mo didn't give up, he walked ten streets and entered more than a dozen spiritual herb shops, and the answer he got was almost the same, there were no spiritual herb seeds to sell.
Only then did he die and stand in the bustling streets of Xiancheng in frustration.
"Do you want me to go to the desert island in the East China Sea to collect medicine in person, so that I can get the seedlings or seeds of wild herbs?!"
Ye Mo was extremely helpless, and then shook his head again.
Qingyun Xianyuan's teaching arrangement was very tight, how could he have time to go out to find it.
Ye Mo looked up a little dazedly, and suddenly a shop sign on the street attracted him.
"Li's Linggu Store"! A Linggu that sells edible Linggu and raises all kinds of spirit animals. ”
"Linggu! It seems that you still have to buy Linggu to plant. ”
Ye Mo thought for a moment and smiled bitterly.
He entered the Li family's Linggu store.
The types and grades of the Spirit Valley are different, and the price is also different, the cheapest first-order Spirit Valley also costs a catty of spirit stones, and the more expensive third-order Spirit Valley even reaches three spirit stones a catty.
Ye Mo naturally buys at a high price, so the profit is generally higher.
All his current possessions are less than a few dozen spirit stones. I spent three spirit stones to buy a catty of third-order spirit valley.
Ye Mo took Linggu and hurriedly returned to the residence of Qingyun Immortal Academy. Closing the bedroom, he unfolded the ancient painting, and after a burst of light, he flashed into the fairy village in the painting.
"Linggu has brought it back. Pheasant, it's up to you now!"
Ye Mo put a pound of Linggu in front of Ah Pheasant.
"This is a third-order spirit valley, much better than the spirit valley I planted. ”
Ah Pheasant pecked a pill and swallowed it, and suddenly became excited.
It rolled up with a pair of wings and threw a large amount of spiritual valley into an acre of spiritual field in front of the thatched house.
In addition, Ye Mo's only dozens of spirit stones were also put into the spirit field and crushed by its claws.
Dozens of spirit stones emitted a large amount of spiritual energy.
The small spiritual valley in the field sprouts and takes root at a speed visible to the naked eye, grows young leaves, and grows continuously.
In just a short period of time, the Spirit Valley, which had just been sown, was more than an inch tall, and it was still growing.
Ye Mo was dumbfounded as he watched Linggu grow.
"This is definitely a hundredfold growth rate! What kind of magic weapon is this ancient painting scroll?! I have checked it in the library of the Immortal Academy, and there has never been a magic weapon of this kind in the immortal cultivation world. ”
Ye Mo felt incredible.
Although the spirit stones are also being consumed at a rate that is visible to the naked eye, it is worth the effort compared to the benefits that will be obtained.
Ten days later, the golden spirit valley in the ancient painting is fully ripe, exuding an attractive aura and rice fragrance.
In other words, the normal growth period of this third-order spirit valley should be three years.
I saw that Ah Pheasant waved his wings, and a large number of mature spirit valleys in the field flew out and landed in the hemp bag that Ye Mo had prepared in advance.
"One acre of land yields thirty catties of fourth-order spirit valleys! Ninety spirit stones can be obtained by selling them at the price of three spirit stones per catty. And the cost is only three spirit stones to buy seeds, plus thirty spirit stones to supply a large amount of spiritual energy. The net profit is about sixty spirit stones!"
Ye Mo lifted the sack and immediately estimated the weight of the third-order spirit valley he had harvested.
In this way, relying on this mu of spiritual field to harvest the Spirit Valley three times a month, he can earn a pure profit of one hundred and eighty spirit stones a month.
For those immortal cultivators of the Immortal Academy, one hundred and eighty spirit stones were not enough for a spare spend, and a casual meal in the famous Immortal Mansion Wine Pavilion in Qingyun Immortal City cost dozens or hundreds of spirit stones.
But for a civilian cultivator like Ye Mo, this is a spirit stone that is in dire need. The problem of the urgent shortage of spirit stones has finally been greatly alleviated. At least the first-order Yuan Qi Pill used by him to cultivate the Yuan Shen can be guaranteed.
With this stable source of spirit stones, Ye Mo also completely settled down, cultivating and specializing in the Qingyun Immortal Academy. There were even some surplus spirit stones for Mo Ling, Wang Hu, Yang You, Tunu Wuwei, Chang Fei, and Lin Fei and other auxiliary students who followed him.
Before you know it, a year flies by.
The teaching of Qingunsen Temple is only one year. At the end of the year, it was followed by the most severe, and the elimination rate was as high as ninety percent of the city lord students' graduation assessment.
