Before he could think it through.
Liang Jun stated frankly, "I have planted three mu of 'blood corn' and would like to ask Master Li for help with the grouting process. As for the cost—"
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about we go with the master chef's price of thirty low-grade spirit stones per mu?"
"Thirty low-grade spirit stones per acre!"
Li Changsheng's expression immediately turned solemn, and he nodded, no longer showing any disgust, saying, "I'll do as Fellow Daoist Liang says."
Liang Jun smiled and gestured, "Master Li, please."
Because this time we need to enter someone else's formation.
Li Changsheng dared not enter alone, and he was also worried about leaving Ya Ya outside alone, so he simply took her and Wa Tianjiao into the formation together.
Upon entering.
Looking around, he felt as if he had entered not a spiritual field, but a slaughterhouse, a slaughterhouse piled with blood and flesh.
All that could be seen was three acres of sacred fields.
The room was piled high with countless pieces of skinned meat, and dark red blood covered more than half of the meat. Occasionally, maggots could be seen crawling in and out of the bones and flesh of unknown origin.
And in these dismembered bodies and blood.
Yet growing there are smooth, leafless plants, their entire bodies blood red like jade, with only two fan-shaped leaves at the top of the crown supporting a deep red rice ear that looks like a sorghum stalk.
I witnessed this scene.
Memories of him immediately surfaced in Li Changsheng's mind.
"Blood Corn".
Top grade Linggu.
Because its growing conditions rely on the flesh and blood of various animals for sustenance, it is prone to insect infestation and root rot, making its cultivation extremely difficult.
The purchase price of "Lingzhongtang" is thirty low-grade spirit stones per catty.
Because "blood corn" is rich in blood and qi, it is highly sought after and loved by cultivators.
Seeing Li Changsheng deep in thought, Liang Jun remained silent until he came to his senses, then said seriously, "I have been nurturing this pool of blood for over thirty years."
"Although Master Li's 'Spirit Rain' property will not harm 'Blood Water,' please try not to sprinkle too much Spirit Rain into the Spirit Field when assisting the 'Blood Corn' in its grain filling stage."
"Can--"
Li Changsheng looked at the gaps between the "blood corn" and nodded slightly. He glanced at Ya Ya, who was sitting on Frog Pride's back with her little face all scrunched up.
No more hesitation.
He channeled spiritual energy into the seed of the "Minor Cloud Rain Technique," summoning spiritual clouds.
He did not expand the spiritual cloud too much.
Instead, it was kept within a radius of one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) to facilitate control of rainfall.
"fall."
Accompanied by a soft shout.
A string of fine, cotton-like raindrops fell precisely on each ear of "blood corn," the rain sparse yet continuous.
I witnessed this scene.
Liang Jun glanced at Li Changsheng, who looked solemn, and was completely relieved that he was worried that the spiritual rain would contaminate the blood water he had worked so hard to cultivate. When he saw that the ears of "blood corn" were visibly plump, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Although Master Li is young, his skills are incredibly refined—"
I dare not disturb Li Changsheng.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ya Ya's wrinkled face, took out a green fruit from his sleeve, walked closer, and was just about to say something.
The giant toad in front of them was visibly swelling up.
In the blink of an eye.
It then transformed into a colossal creature, about ten feet tall and several feet in size.
His large, bronze eyes, the size of a washbasin, looked down at him.
With Liang Jun's late-stage Qi Refining cultivation, he felt a chill all over his body, his heart pounded, and he involuntarily swallowed.
Fortunately, a soft shout came from the side at that moment.
"Frog Prodigy!"
"Croak—"
Frog Pride stared at Liang Jun for a moment, then let out a warning croak like a booming bell. Its body quickly shrank back to its previous size.
"High-level talent spell, definitely a high-level talent spell—"
Liang Jun roared inwardly. When he saw Frog Pride's bronze-brown eyes glancing over, he hurriedly threw down the unripe fruit that could block the stench and turned to run to Li Changsheng.
He focused on farming.
He didn't practice any powerful magic techniques.
They are no match for spirit beasts that have awakened high-level talent spells.
Following the contact, Li Changsheng praised Frog Prodigy highly, but on the surface, he apologized to Liang Jun, saying, "Fellow Daoist Liang, please don't be offended, Frog Prodigy is a little shy—"
"No, no, it's not surprising—"
Liang Jun waved his hands repeatedly, hesitated for a moment, and then politely asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, has your large—spirit beast awakened a high-level spell?"
"It was just luck."
Li Changsheng nodded slightly, said nothing more, and manipulated the spiritual rain to irrigate the "blood corn".
"As expected, he has awakened a high-level innate spell—"
For some reason, Liang Jun felt a surge of excitement and turned to look at Frog Pride.
He had been wondering why Li Changsheng was carrying a giant toad, but now it wasn't strange at all.
This is a toad that has awakened a high-level innate spell!
Let's not talk about strength.
In terms of value alone, it's more expensive than his three acres of blood-soaked land.
Liang Jun withdrew his gaze, looking at the delicate spiritual rain controlled by Li Changsheng, and thought to himself, "No wonder Master Li is so young yet has such mastery of the 'Minor Cloud Rain Technique,' it must be due to his family's profound knowledge of it."
Time passed slowly.
Li Changsheng initially thought that assisting in the grouting of "blood corn" would be difficult, but when he actually did it, he found that it was quite mentally taxing, but otherwise, it was no different from watering "silver-veined beans".
However, in order to show respect for the "spirit stone".
Irrigate three acres of sacred fields.
He still spent no less than ten acres of "silver-patterned beans" irrigating, about an hour.
After watering the "blood corn".
Liang Jun readily paid him ninety low-grade spirit stones.
Then, with their warm farewell.
They exited the formation.
The Wu couple, who were waiting outside, quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "How is it?"
"No doubt about it."
"Master Li is better than any other chef we've ever hired!"
Liang Jun glanced at Frog Prodigy and praised him generously.
"Okay, okay, okay—"
"I knew Master Li was amazing!"
Sister-in-law Wu said happily.
Li Changsheng exchanged a few pleasantries with him.
With Wu Di's repeated coughing reminders, Wu's sister-in-law reluctantly ended the chat.
The journey back.
The Wu couple truly gave Li Changsheng a lot of face.
He would praise his "Little Cloud Rain Technique" to everyone he met, mentioning how he could fertilize low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade spirit grains.
pity.
Talk is one thing, intention is another.
However, when it comes to such a crucial matter as the grouting of spirit grains, the spirit farmers dare not easily change the person in charge. If the change is correct, it may only increase the yield by one or two hundred catties, but if the change is wrong, the loss will be huge.
Therefore, it was not until they returned to the ancestral field of the Wu couple that they found them.
He also failed to find new work.
"We still need to build up our reputation gradually."
Undeterred, Li Changsheng followed Wu Di, who was again reminiscing about the origin of "Ironwood," to the center of the spiritual field. He looked around and then placed his hand on its rough, dark bark.
His gaze was fixed on her.
next moment.
An information panel appeared.
[Target: Ironwood]
[Ancient Trees]
【Attributes: Wood, Metal】
[Rank: Unacceptable "99%"]
Status: Healthy
"What a rudimentary information panel—"
Li Changsheng glanced at it, then looked at the "Ironwood" rank column, his gaze fixed on it.
A piece of information popped into my mind.
[Cultivation Requirements: One drop of natural dew, one leaf from a "Soul-Capturing Wood" immortal spirit seed, and one piece of shell from an unknown insect imbued with natural energy. Mix them together with spiritual spring water and bury them in the ironwood root system.]
