Chapter 3
: Land Reclamation and Grass Selling
"Talismanic implements".
Unworthy of being classified as a ritual implement.
Most of them are practice pieces made by novice "weapon refiners". Their effects cannot be compared with magic weapons, but they are cheap.
Depending on the specifications, the efficacy of the engraved "runes" varies, and the price differs.
The thought of soon acquiring a large item filled Li Changsheng with enthusiasm. He swung his hoe and began to chisel with all his might.
bang bang...
A series of dull thuds rang out, the soil churned, and the delicate white grass roots were exposed to the sun, where they were gradually scorched by the intense heat until they wilted and turned yellow.
When he got tired, Li Changsheng straightened his back, rubbed his sore arms, and wiped the sweat from his forehead before continuing to clear land.
It gradually eroded the lush, overgrown wasteland.
Wasteland not far away.
"call…"
A young man dressed in gray with a blank expression wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up, took a swig from his waist, exhaled lightly, and looked around.
When he saw Li Changsheng, who was not far away, diligently clearing land with his chisel, a strange and confused look appeared in his eyes.
A voice that only he could hear rang out.
"This guy cultivates dual cultivation diligently every day, and still has so much energy to clear land..."
As if he had thought of something, his eyes revealed a look of envy and regret.
"Junior Brother Li is probably the legendary innate 'Joyful Union' physique, right? It's a pity he has a 'Life Pouch,' otherwise, if he followed the 'Joyful Union' path, he would probably have already broken through to the second level of Qi Refining..."
Fang Yuan didn't think much of it. He rubbed his sore shoulders, bent down, and continued weeding and clearing land.
As the sun rises.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and even the wind felt scalding.
Tanaka.
Li Changsheng was soaked to the bone. After clearing a small patch of wasteland, he plopped down on the carefully gathered weeds, took a few deep breaths, took the water pouch from his waist, and drank it all in one gulp.
"call…"
"I can't take it anymore, this sun is killing me..."
After calming down for a while, he finally felt alive again. He glanced at the blazing sun in the sky and decided to wait until the afternoon when it was cooler before starting to cultivate the land. He also decided to take a trip to "Peach Blossom Market".
Having made up his mind, he didn't rush to leave. Instead, he channeled his spiritual energy to soothe the muscles in his shoulders and waist. Feeling the tingling sensation in his shoulders and waist, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
soon.
Li Changsheng was then full of energy again. He had used up about 80-90% of his spiritual energy, so he sat cross-legged to recover his depleted spiritual energy, patted his bottom, and stood up.
They efficiently cleared the weeds from the field.
Don't underestimate these weeds; they grow in the spirit field and are imbued with spiritual energy, making them excellent fodder.
If it weren't for the fact that the disciples of the "Beast Pen" were not allowed to enter the "Five Grains Spirit Manor".
This large patch of land, which contained only a few weeds, had long been swept clean by the eager disciples of the "Beast Pen".
For a newcomer like Li Changsheng to the "Five Grains Spirit Manor," all his food had to be sustained by these weeds.
He purchased a low-grade spirit stone from Xu Yan's essence blood.
He earned his living by selling weeds and the unimportant twigs and branches of the "Love Flower" plant.
All morning.
He cleared out about half a fen of land, and the weeds, roots and leaves included, weighed about 10 to 20 jin.
Li Changsheng tied him up, attached him to a hoe, hoisted it onto his shoulder, turned to look at the gray-clad figure still tilling the land with each stroke of the hoe in the distance, and shouted:
"Senior Brother Fang, it's too hot today. Let's take a break and continue working when it's cooler."
He paused, then asked:
"By the way, I'm going to 'Peach Blossom Market,' would you like to come along, senior brother?"
Fang Yuan, who was also soaked to the bone, stood up upon hearing this, glanced at the sun, squatted down to tidy up the weeds, and replied blankly:
"I'm not going."
"Let's go."
Li Changsheng was not surprised. He called out, carried the weeds out of the field, looked around, and walked along the ridge towards the main road.
Perhaps the sun was too hot, and the people in the fields returned one by one.
Some carried weeds on their shoulders like him, some carried some green rice seedlings, and some carried a cloth bag.
We arrived at the main road.
Li Changsheng walked straight to an oxcart, and upon approaching it, smiled at the man sitting on a bench wearing a sun hat:
"Uncle Liu, weigh it, it's all freshly dug, still very fresh..."
As he spoke, he took a bundle of weeds from the hoe and handed it to the man.
The man addressed as Uncle Liu first took the weeds and examined them. Seeing that most of them were goosegrass, all with white roots, a smile appeared on his dark face. He said:
"Hmm, the quality is good..."
As he spoke, he picked up a scale and weighed himself.
"Sixteen pounds and eight ounces, let's say seventeen pounds, see if that's correct..."
Li Changsheng glanced at it, but said, "How could I not trust you, Uncle Liu?" After confirming that the weight was correct, he grinned and said, "Uncle Liu, please take all the spirit sand."
Spiritual sand is the scrap material from the crushing of spiritual stones.
One low-grade spirit stone contains one hundred spirit sands.
However, if you use low-grade spirit stones to exchange, you can usually get around 110 to 120.
"Alright."
Uncle Liu placed the weeds on the oxcart, counted out seventeen tiny, milky-white crystals the size of grains of rice from his pocket, handed them to Li Changsheng, and said before leaving:
"When will you have enough 'seed of life' to spare? You'd better think about it. Don't worry, the price will definitely not be bad for you..."
"Okay, I'll definitely bring it to Uncle Liu as soon as it's ready, so it won't delay your delivery..."
Li Changsheng put the spirit sand into his pocket, chuckled in agreement, and turned to leave in the opposite direction. Before leaving, he couldn't help but glance at the strong blue ox pulling the cart, his eyes full of envy.
"I wish I could have a beast like that someday..."
This blue ox is no ordinary ox.
It is a low-grade spirit beast called "Azure Wild Ox," known for its great strength.
Anyone who cultivates spiritual fields hopes to raise such a large animal, whether for plowing or riding it when going out, it would truly bring both substance and prestige.
It's just a pity that it's too expensive.
A single "Green Wilderness Ox" calf costs five hundred low-grade spirit stones.
The "Five Grains Spirit Village" has thousands of spirit farmers, but fewer than a hundred of them keep large livestock at home, which shows how precious they are.
Li Changsheng suppressed his thoughts, clutching the "Love Flower" spiritual resources and the seventeen newly acquired spiritual sands, and headed towards the "Peach Blossom Market" with great enthusiasm.
"Peach Blossom Market" is said to be a market.
In fact, it was originally a place for some outer disciples to exchange and sell spiritual resources. As more people went there and as some people bought spiritual resources from outside and brought them back to sell, it gradually formed a miniature market.
Because it is located within the "Yuanhe Mountain" sect.
Law enforcement officers often patrol in boats, so there's no need to worry about bandits or robbers blocking the road.
We walked along the road.
Many spiritual farmers from "Five Grains Spirit Village" went there to purchase supplies.
They walked for about half an hour.
A lush peach orchard came into view.
Through the peach grove, one can vaguely see some houses and buildings nestled among them.
Li Changsheng entered the peach grove with great excitement, but when he saw the scene inside the "Peach Blossom Market", he was immediately disappointed.
"Is this the market?"
"If someone didn't know better, they'd think it was a night market..."
Unworthy of being classified as a ritual implement.
