Chapter 47
The King Pheasant Hatches
"Brother, Liao Ning and Uncle Shao Hui have agreed to cooperate with Yanling Village and plan to set off tomorrow to capture the black horned horse."
Shen Kun had taken a detour outside and overheard some news.
He came to Shen Yi's side and said, "Our village doesn't have any strong men in the late stage of the Qi and Blood Realm to keep it in place right now. They really dared to agree to let Yanling Village go to Shuangfeng Mountain. They're really bold."
Shen Yuan said, "After all, black wildebeest are extremely valuable, and few people can resist their allure."
"Then why didn't you seem interested, brother?"
"We seek only steady progress, not reckless advancement."
As Shen Yi spoke, he put down the shovel made of yin wood.
Looking around, one can see a network of irrigation ditches surrounding the eight acres of land.
The water source was a reservoir dug next to the well.
Well water was drawn out along the ditch, allowing them to freely draw water from the side canals to irrigate their fields.
The well opening, which was originally only one meter in diameter, has now been expanded to three meters to make it easier for multiple people to access the water.
Watering the vegetable garden takes a lot of effort, and he also needs to go into the mountains to hunt monsters.
So he simply irrigated only four mu each time, and then irrigated another four mu every two days.
The main focus is on cultivating mutated red eggplants, which requires watering on time.
Other common wild vegetables can be treated casually, but they are harvested quite quickly.
After only ten days of watering, a large amount of wild vegetables have already ripened.
"I'm going to check out the mutated red eggplant."
Shen Yi moved his feet and squatted down in front of the four mutated red eggplant plants.
During this period, two more red eggplant plants mutated and became first-tier spiritual plants.
Strangely enough, after so much time has passed, only the red eggplants in the vegetable garden are most prone to mutation, while the other wild vegetables haven't shown any signs of change.
The golden lettering before my eyes gradually coalesced and emerged.
[Mutant Red Eggplant - Tier 1 Spirit Plant]
Maturity period: 97%
[Effects: Strengthens Qi and Blood]
……
[Mutant Red Eggplant - Tier 1 Spirit Plant]
Maturity period: 83%
[Effects: Strengthens Qi and Blood]
……
The first mutated red eggplant is about to ripen!
The second one is not far off.
The two red eggplant plants behind them were only about 40% mature.
"After ten days of watering, the ripening period of several mutated red eggplant plants increased by an average of more than 5% per day."
Shen Yi had specifically observed that ordinary wild vegetables are usually watered once every four days, while the mutated red eggplant can withstand watering once a day.
The water from the level 4 well plays a vital role in it.
The first mutated red eggplant will ripen tomorrow!
Shen Yi was filled with anticipation.
He then got up and began to patrol the territory as usual.
In just ten days, he has upgraded the Zhenyin Wooden House from level 4 to level 6!
No new features have emerged.
However, the effects of "calming the mind" and "promoting sleep" have been greatly enhanced.
As for upgrading to level 7, it requires 1000 Yin Soul Wood, as well as the physical strain of crafting.
Shen Yi estimated that he would be able to do it only after reaching the fourth level of the Qi and Blood Realm.
With the nourishment of demon beast meat and his talent 'Netherfire Food Refinement', he has already reached the threshold of the fourth level of the Qi and Blood Realm.
Others have spent so many years and still haven't been able to do it, but he made it through incredibly fast.
"Could it be that I'm a genius?" Shen Yi thought to himself.
In addition to the Zhenyin Wooden House, he also upgraded the corresponding creations to a higher level.
The original four vegetable plots have also been upgraded to level 6.
However, the amount of Yin Soul Wood required for eight acres of vegetable plots is too much. Upgrading one acre of vegetable plot to level 1 requires 100 Yin Soul Wood!
It is ten times the size of what was originally a vegetable garden.
However, its area is also ten times that of the others.
The loss of Yin Soul Wood should be calculated based on its area.
Shen Yi is currently only upgrading them to level 1, just enough to ensure the survival of the crops.
It's worth mentioning that the chicken coop has been upgraded to level 6, and seven chickens have already shown signs of evolution!
Shen Yi went to the chicken coop to check.
Among the flock of chickens, three stood out. Their feathers were more vibrant, their claws were thicker, and they had a stronger grip. The ground was covered with scratches left by them.
If it were to truly transform into a demon, it would likely be able to shatter rocks and cut bricks with ease.
They strutted proudly through the chicken coop, followed by a flock of ordinary pheasants, looking every bit the king of the flock, quite majestic.
The other four mutated pheasants were in another chicken coop.
Guan Yue, wiping away sweat, approached and said, "Shen Yi, you're here. I just finished feeding them."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work."
Shen Yi nodded to her.
"It's not hard work at all. I'm happy just looking at these pheasants. In our village, who can afford to raise so many chickens?"
Guan Yue looked at the flock of pheasants, her eyes filled with joy.
As long as this flock of pheasants is around, they will never starve.
Watching the chickens grow bigger and lay eggs day by day filled her with a sense of accomplishment.
"唳——"
Just as Shen Yi and Guan Yue were talking, a tender rooster crowed from the henhouse.
The voice seemed to carry some kind of special power.
All the pheasants fell silent instantly, lying prostrate on the ground, trembling.
Even those mutated pheasants are no exception!
Guan Yue was stunned.
This was the first time she had ever seen such a situation.
Shen Yi's gaze fell on a nest of eggs.
A chick, no bigger than a palm, wobbled to its feet.
Its round eyes curiously surveyed the world, as if trying to perceive everything.
Before long, it stood up and its body stopped swaying.
It is adapting to this world at an extremely rapid pace.
Then, it raised its beak and crowed loudly again!
This time, the domineering aura unique to the King of Pheasants suppressed the entire scene.
The common pheasant was so frightened that it simply tucked its head under its wing and dared not make a sound.
The three mutated pheasants, no longer displaying their previous imposing manner, obediently squatted on the ground.
Shen Yi's gaze was fixed on the chick and the strangely patterned, blood-red eggshell beneath it.
This is the only king pheasant egg in his chicken coop!
It has finally hatched successfully today!
The chick flapped its wings slightly, and a faint, eerie power seemed to surge between its dark downy feathers.
A gust of wind suddenly swept up, blowing a flock of ordinary pheasants off balance.
It learned innate skills right after hatching?
Shen Yi's eyes lit up.
Immediately, as if knowing it was born extraordinary, the chick raised its head, puffed out its chest, and swaggered forward with an arrogant and flamboyant gait.
The chickens in front were so frightened that they made way for them.
The three mutated pheasants tried to approach it, trotting after it.
At this moment, a timid common pheasant was so frightened that it collapsed and could not move at all, and happened to block the way in front of the chick.
next moment.
Shen Yi and Guan Yue saw the chick screech, revealing its ferocity, and leap up without any mercy.
With a single, sharp claw, it crushed the head of the ordinary pheasant.
Instantly separate.
The ordinary pheasant's head was shattered, blood splattered everywhere, and it lay limply on the ground.
The chicks flew lightly over, landed, and continued to waddle forward.
"hiss--"
These chicks must have just hatched.
Shen Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's stew that dead chicken tonight too, don't waste it."
"Okay...okay."
Guan Yue was shocked by this scene and nodded in agreement.
Shen Yi glanced at the chicks foraging for food and snorted coldly:
"You cost me a chicken, so I hope you won't disappoint me when you're cooked; the meat should be delicious!"
The chick suddenly shivered.
He felt as if he was being targeted by some evil spirit, and he slightly restrained his arrogant behavior.
