two months later
Qin Ming stood under a big tree near Lingtian.
He looked up at an earth-yellow beehive on the tree, which was as big as a pot lid.
“Buzz buzz buzz~~”
Thousands of bees are flying densely around the hive.
It makes people’s scalp numb just looking at it.
Each bee is as big as a little finger. It is all white and has two pairs of wings. Its tail is an almost transparent stinger, which hides a highly toxic poison that is difficult for people to guard against.
If you don’t look carefully, it’s really hard to spot.
This was a four-winged frost bee unique to Yunhuang Daze. Although it was not of high rank, it could not withstand a huge number.
If besieged by a swarm of bees, the poison of their tail stings can even temporarily paralyze the cultivator’s mana.
Of course.
Qin Ming is no longer afraid of these insects.
He was just observing where the queen bee was so that he could easily use the ‘Bee Control Technique’.
As long as the queen bee is controlled, commands can be given to the swarm.
“Found it!”
Qin Ming’s eyes lit up.
He pinched a strange spell in his hand and punched it towards the lower right corner of the hive.
He used the entry “Bee Controlling Technique” in the Consciousness Sea.
A frost bee, which is more than five times larger than an ordinary bee, is sleeping.
Suddenly I felt dizzy in my head.
There was a hint of confusion in its eyes.
Qin Ming’s face was filled with joy as he succeeded in performing the trick.
He could clearly feel that he had established an inexplicable connection with the frost bee queen.
Immediately, Qin Ming issued an order to the queen bee.
The bee swarms on the tree suddenly flew out of the hive and flew towards the three acres of Yin Ninghua spiritual field planted by Qin Ming.
“It really works!”
Qin Ming was overjoyed.
Then he immediately gave instructions to the frost bee queen to let the bee swarm pollinate the Yin Ninghua.
soon.
The frost bee swarm became busy in the three acres of Yin Ninghua Spiritual Field.
Qin Ming looked at Lingtian and nodded with satisfaction.
Originally, Master Sultan only required him to succeed in farming one-tenth of his crops.
Now the survival rate has reached a terrifying 90%.
And when the seven-day flowering period and pollination is over, the quality of the spiritual grass will not be too bad.
Qin Ming is still very confident about this.
In the three-acre Yin Ninghua Spiritual Field, there are almost a hundred mature plants per acre, and a total of about three hundred Yin Ninghua plants can be harvested.
If calculated based on the price of five spiritual stones per plant that Master Sudan offered him at that time, it would already be more than a thousand spiritual stones.
Qin Ming thought that maybe he should develop in the direction of planting spiritual herbs and elixirs.
……
Seven days later.
The end of seven consecutive days of pollination.
Yin Ning flowers emit a rich fragrance and are ready to be harvested.
Qin Ming sent the messenger talisman to the Sudanese division.
Soon.
Master Sudan came up in a white robe, carrying a small bamboo basket on his back.
But when he looked at the scene of three acres of Yin Ning flowers blooming, the expression on his face looked quite wonderful.
“You planted all this?!” Master Sudan pointed at the spiritual field. He looked at Qin Ming, his tone full of disbelief.
Qin Ming smiled “hehe” and said, “It’s a fluke! It was purely a fluke.”
Master Sudan glared at him, “Who are you fooling? Are you lucky enough to have all the pollinations succeed in seven days of continuous pollination?”
After that, he carefully picked a Yin Ning flower and observed it carefully.
“Yes, Yin Ning Hua is of high quality and can be used as medicine to make elixirs.”
Afterwards, Master Sudan turned his head and looked Qin Ming up and down, and said slowly: “Can’t you tell? Fellow Daoist Qin’s talent for spiritual cultivation is so high.”
Qin Ming waved his hand and said with a wry smile: “Master Sudan is over-reputed, it’s just good luck.”
“But in this case, with such a large number of Yin Ninghua, I will owe you a small favor.” Master Sudan said slowly.
“I don’t really like to owe people favors.”
“How about this? I allow you to watch from the sidelines when I am refining alchemy, but I won’t teach you step by step. How much you can learn depends on you. How about it?”
After Master Sudan thought for a moment, he said to Qin Ming seriously.
Qin Ming was overjoyed when he heard this.
He has been busy for a whole year, isn’t this what he has been waiting for? ! Qin Ming still can’t forget the smell of Master Sudan’s two spirit-gathering pills.
I even dreamed that one day I would be able to refine a pill to improve my cultivation.
“Then I’ll be disrespectful.” Qin Ming cupped his hands and thanked Master Sudan.
Then the two began to pick Yin Ning flowers.
“A total of three hundred and twenty Yin Ninghua flowers were harvested. As promised before, I will take nine and you will take one.”
Master Sudan immediately took out thirty-two plants from the bamboo basket and handed them to Qin Ming.
“Remember to take this Yin Ninghua back and seal it in a jade box, otherwise the medicinal properties will be lost.”
Qin Ming took the Yin Ninghua and carefully put it away.
Afterwards, Master Sudan said goodbye and left, telling Qin Ming that he would notify him through the messenger talisman when he was refining alchemy.
Qin Ming was not in a hurry to leave.
Instead, he returned the group of four-winged frost wasps to their original places.
After so many days of pollination, these frost bees were not tired, but all looked very excited.
‘These swarms of bees may be useful for growing spiritual grass one day. Let’s leave them for now and buy a spiritual animal bag to pick them up another day. ’
……
Two days later.
The spiritual rice in the spiritual field is also all mature.
The ancient deacon of Lingyu Sect and his disciples got up to collect spiritual rice as usual.
During this season, Qin Ming’s Tooth Rice has fully matured.
Naturally, it has become the focus of this spiritual rice collection.
soon.
Four acres of golden spirit rice and one acre of animal tooth rice have been harvested.
Du Haifu took out the big magic weapon and weighed it, and immediately said to Qin Ming: “A total of twelve stones and eighty kilograms of golden spirit rice were harvested.”
“The harvest of animal tooth rice totals four stones and ten kilograms.”
After Du Haifu reported the numbers, he approached Qin Ming with a smile and said, “Congratulations to fellow Taoist Qin, the harvest of animal tooth rice has been completed. From now on, the tax on spiritual rice will be reduced by half.”
Qin Ming was also puzzled for a while. Du Haifu, the local emperor of the spiritual farmers, even changed his title this time.
He didn’t call himself “Xiao Qin”, and he didn’t react for a while.
“I will have to take more care of Supervisor Du in the future.” Qin Ming replied.
“Fellow Daoist Qin, this is the ID card for the Spiritual Plant Master Approval Assessment. You can choose your own time and go to the Lingyumen Deacon Hall in Qingyangfang City to complete the assessment.” Du Haifu took out a wooden plaque and handed it to Qin Ming.
“Hahaha, I would like to congratulate Daoist Fellow Qin in advance once again for entering the ranks of first-level spiritual planters.”
Qin Ming took the wooden sign and looked at it. His name was engraved on the front and a spiritual plant pattern was on the back.
He checked with his spiritual sense and saw that the wooden sign recorded that he had completed planting the first-level spiritual plant ‘Beast Tooth Rice’.
The Lingzhi knowledge assessment is to be completed.
The people from the Lingyu Sect collected the taxes and left, taking away the bottom-ranked Ling Nong as usual.
After paying the taxes, Qin Ming still had more than 600 kilograms of golden spirit rice and 210 kilograms of beast tooth rice left this season.
This is another huge amount of income for him.
“Xiao Qin, you have agreed.”
“It’s time to invite me to Juxuan Pavilion for a drink.”
“Let’s go and celebrate that you have become a first-level spiritual planter.”
Cai Laojiu came over with a smile, feeling numb with envy.
“Okay, please.” Qin Ming was in a good mood, smiled and nodded.
It happened that he was going to shopkeeper Liao to sell spiritual rice, and asked about moving to Qingyangfang City.
In addition, Fellow Daoist Ruan is also going to make a trip to get the last four floors of the “Hundred Treasures Glazed Sutra”.
