Chapter 827
Planting Top-Grade Spirit Rice! The Aura of Death
Mount Sincho.
"who is she?"
Upon seeing Kong Ruobing, Zhang Zixin immediately asked warily.
Kong Ruobing was also taken aback. How did so many unfamiliar faces suddenly appear under Zhang Lingshan's command?
"It's your sister-in-law."
Zhang Lingshan laughed and said, "Since this is the first time I'm meeting your sister-in-law, I'll treat her to a meal of top-grade spirit rice. Go and cook the rice."
"You really think of me as your cooking maid? I don't cook." Zhang Zixin pouted.
Zhang Lingshan smiled slightly: "Your sister-in-law is the granddaughter of the Ice Spirit Sect Master. The entire sect will belong to your sister-in-law in the future. Aren't you going to try to curry favor with her? Do you want to stay here?"
"Why are you scaring the child? Little sister, we're all family. Let's get along well from now on."
Kong Ruobing said with a smile.
Zhang Zixin snorted, "I'll go cook. But I'm not his sister, and you're not my sister-in-law. My name is Zixin."
After saying that, he turned and ran away.
Kong Ruobing looked thoughtful, then tilted her head to look at Zhang Lingshan and said, "She seems to like you."
"Who wouldn't like that? You'll have a lot of competitors in the future, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that I'm going to start farming. If I can grow top-grade spirit rice, we'll be rich!"
Zhang Lingshan changed the subject, casually took off his clothes, and jumped into the rice paddy to carefully plant the rice seedlings one by one.
This is the first time I've tried to grow top-grade spiritual rice, so I have to be serious. Although using divine sense to sow the seedlings is more efficient, it lacks a sense of ceremony. The first time should have a sense of ceremony to show respect for the top-grade spiritual rice.
Kong Ruobing sat beside the paddy field, her eyes fixed intently on Zhang Lingshan as he worked.
She was exceptionally talented, but failed the prodigy assessment. After leaving the Ice Spirit Sect and going to the Ice Chamber, she tried various methods, but still couldn't improve her cultivation.
This made Kong Ruobing wonder if she was really a genius.
Didn't I absorb the power of the ten-thousand-year-old mystic ice while I was still in swaddling clothes? Why can't I unleash this power?
In this state of confusion, she learned the Frost Talisman from Zhang Lingshan, which gave her a glimpse of an opportunity to improve herself.
Although she was not very skilled at using the Frost Rune and could not fully comprehend it, the very existence of the Frost Rune made her feel that some kind of power was beginning to awaken within her.
At that moment, Kong Ruobing knew that her future lay in this man.
As expected, after being introduced to the Ice Spirit Sect, the other party immediately passed the genius assessment and gained even more miraculous power, able to summon a large number of ice giants at will.
In addition, the little ice doll with a long spear that the other party gave me nourishes my body and causes my internal energy to react whenever I wear it.
visible.
I guessed right!
This person is my chosen one; my future path rests on this person.
It was precisely because Kong Ruobing understood this point that she knew that it was meaningless and pointless for her to cultivate alone. It would be more meaningful for her to stay here and watch Zhang Lingshan farm.
As long as she stayed by Zhang Lingshan's side, even the slightest aura he unintentionally released would greatly benefit Kong Ruobing.
Not to mention that when Zhang Lingshan is focused on farming, he is completely unguarded and his aura is greatly released. Just by guarding him here, I feel warm and cozy, as if I can break through the shackles of cultivation out of thin air.
Although it's just an illusion, that illusion alone is enough to make people fascinated and reluctant to leave.
Kong Ruobing had no idea that this was not Zhang Lingshan's aura being released, but rather the life force released by Zhang Lingshan while he was farming.
The growth of spirit rice requires a large amount of life energy, and at the same time, it also releases life energy.
The two kinds of life force are not the same.
The life force absorbed included blood energy, which was the blood energy contained in the paddy fields nourished by Zhang Lingshan's blood.
In addition to these, there is also the natural soil and water vapor from the paddy fields.
In other words, the life force required for the growth of spirit rice is chaotic, mixed, and contains all sorts of random things.
The life force emitted by the spirit rice is a pure life force nurtured by it, which is the life force that Zhang Lingshan comprehended.
Zhang Lingshan originally thought that the pure life energy he released should be able to accelerate the growth of the spirit rice. After all, this had been tested before. He had secretly done this when he was farming in the Anning Army's paddy fields.
But this time, it failed.
Moreover, the failure was devastating; not a single grain of spirit rice matured, not even a single low-grade spirit rice.
'how so?'
Zhang Lingshan instantly fell into deep thought.
Things were completely different from what he had imagined; where exactly did things go wrong?
Time flies.
Zhang Lingshan stood there motionless, like a statue.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Zhang Lingshan's eyes suddenly lit up.
He got it!
These days of studying the myriad laws of derivation haven't been for nothing.
It turns out that what the spirit rice needs to grow is not its own pure life force, but a mixed life force.
Purely good, but in reality lacking the power of the various elements in the world.
Water that is too clear has no fish.
Some seemingly useless, polluting odors can actually help the growth of spiritual rice; this is the power of life.
Thinking about this...
Zhang Lingshan immediately began the second round of seedling cultivation, transplanting, and ripening.
This time, he began to communicate with the various mixed energies in the entire paddy field, mixed with the life energy he had comprehended, forming an indescribable chaotic energy mass, which he then sent into the spirit rice.
In order to capture the details of the growth of the spiritual rice, Zhang Lingshan took a very slow approach this time.
Previously, he confidently tried to ripen the fruit using the life force in less than half a day, but it ended in failure.
Therefore, this time, we must study it carefully and take our time to do a good job.
Days passed by as Zhang Lingshan stared motionlessly at the spirit rice.
Before I knew it, three months had passed.
"Zixin, will my husband be alright?"
Seeing Zhang Lingshan deep in thought all day, as if he were in great torment, Kong Ruobing couldn't help but say something to Zhang Zixin.
Zhang Zixin said calmly, "Don't worry, Zhang Lingshan's cultivation is always like this. He may seem to be stuck in a difficult state, but he may suddenly have an epiphany at any time. Let's ignore him and continue eating."
"You seem to know a lot about Zhang Lingshan," Kong Ruobing asked curiously.
Zhang Zixin said smugly, "Of course, we're comrades-in-arms, back in the Pill Sect..."
Time flies, and another three months have passed.
Zhang Lingshan's beard had grown quite long, but his eyes suddenly became incredibly bright, and his face showed great joy.
Got it!
This time I truly understand!
'The wind is blowing!'
Zhang Lingshan waved his right hand, and a gentle breeze blew by.
'It's raining!'
If you point your index finger into the air, a light rain will fall.
Then, suddenly there was lightning, then the sky darkened, then sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the rice paddies.
This scene...
Kong Ruobing's eyes widened immediately.
It looks familiar.
Isn't this the one I saw in the second level of the Heavenly Pride Assessment Secret Realm?
How did Zhang Lingshan manage to learn this?
It's unbelievable. Everyone rushed through the second stage, unable to withstand the power of the celestial phenomenon. Only by passing through as quickly as possible could they successfully pass the stage; otherwise, they would surely perish here.
Because the celestial phenomenon was so powerful, no one would even think of trying to understand it.
However, Zhang Lingshan was different from others. He went to comprehend the celestial phenomena, mastered the power of these phenomena, and applied it to the cultivation of spirit rice.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Kong Ruobing probably would never have believed that there was actually someone who could wield such terrifying celestial power.
incredible.
Unbelievable!
What Kong Ruobing found most unbelievable was that Zhang Lingshan not only mastered it, but also made it more mellow, and could control the celestial phenomena within it.
After all, if the power of that celestial phenomenon couldn't be controlled, these spirit rice plants would have withered long ago and wouldn't have survived at all.
The current scene is that as Zhang Lingshan applies his celestial power, the spirit rice becomes more and more robust, and even produces specks of golden light.
Is it...
Kong Ruobing dared not think any further.
Is it really possible that we're going to grow top-grade spiritual rice?
She was no ordinary woman lacking experience; after all, she had been the head of the ice room in Anyuan City for a long time. Not to mention anything else, she had been to the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce countless times.
The Qingyun Chamber of Commerce only sells top-grade spirit rice, and the quantity is limited. It is basically sold out as soon as it is put on the market, making it extremely difficult to obtain. It is necessary to pre-order in advance to purchase it.
Moreover, it must be a large-volume pre-order; if you buy too little, the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce won't sell it to you.
When Zhang Lingshan saw the price tag at the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce, there was only the price tag and a specimen.
But this surprised Zhang Lingshan greatly, because the price was extremely high, 100,000 spirit stones per kilogram.
At the time, Zhang Lingshan also analyzed that the quality of this top-grade spiritual rice seemed to be not very good.
That's exactly what happened.
Even the finest Ling rice is categorized into good and inferior varieties, large and small grains, plump and shriveled grains...
In short, what you can buy for 100,000 spirit stones per kilogram is all defective products. Good ones are sold through the Qingyun Merchant Guild, which cooperates with various sects. Ordinary people are not qualified to enjoy this kind of specially supplied spirit rice.
Being able to spend a little money to buy some top-quality spiritual rice to taste already makes one a wealthy person.
This shows just how rare even the finest spiritual rice is.
Now, Zhang Lingshan is actually going to cultivate top-grade spirit rice.
This is defying the heavens!
Kong Ruobing could hardly imagine the sensation that would ensue if this top-grade spiritual rice were to hit the market.
Top-grade spirit rice costs 100,000 spirit stones per kilogram.
Top-grade spirit rice must cost 100,000 spirit stones per grain.
In fact, not even a single grain can be bought; it is a case of being priceless and unavailable. Everyone would want to try such a treasure, and it is of great benefit. Who would sell it?
Just as Kong Ruobing was extremely excited, thinking that Zhang Lingshan was about to succeed, a mournful death aura suddenly emanated from the paddy field.
Ding Ding Deng!
Zhang Lingshan retreated rapidly, instantly forced out of the rice paddy formation's range. His face turned deathly pale, and his entire body was almost devoid of color.
"Husband."
Kong Ruobing was shocked. Seeing Zhang Lingshan trembling and unable to stand, she hurriedly rushed forward to support him.
Zhang Zixin also wanted to rush over.
"Don't come any closer."
Zhang Lingshan shouted sternly.
As he spoke, he rapidly set up an array: "If death energy touches you, you will surely die."
Soon, the formation locked Zhang Lingshan inside, preventing any death energy from leaking out.
At the same time, Zhang Lingshan frantically activated his life force, and the ever-flowing energy rapidly washed over his body.
"Do you have spirit rice? Give it to me quickly."
Zhang Lingshan called out.
Zhang Zixin hurriedly threw in the cooked spirit rice and called out, "Do you need me to continue cooking?"
"The more the better."
Zhang Lingshan said.
Without saying a word, Zhang Zixin immediately set up the Heaven and Earth Stove and started cooking rice.
Kong Ruobing could only watch helplessly, but she could see that Zhang Zixin's claim that he and Zhang Lingshan were good partners fighting side by side was indeed true.
Just based on her skill in cooking spirit rice, Zhang Zixin is invincible.
Whenever she visits a major chamber of commerce, she is always a VIP guest; everyone needs someone like her.
"I need fire."
Zhang Zixin called out, "Zhang Lingshan, with your fire, I can be even faster."
"go."
Zhang Lingshan waved his right hand and immediately threw out an array plate.
He and Zhang Zixin had worked together seamlessly countless times. Zhang Zixin had taught him alchemy, so as soon as he threw out the array plate, Zhang Zixin knew that it contained Zhang Lingshan's blood and flames.
then.
Zhang Zixin immediately activated the array plate and used the fire to start cooking rice.
Kong Ruobing was dumbfounded.
When Zhang Zixin cooked for the two of them before, the quality of the flame was already quite good, but now, seeing the fire that Zhang Lingshan provided, it was like heaven and earth.
Faced with such flames, no matter how much icy energy Kong Ruobing unleashed, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.
The thought that Zhang Lingshan not only mastered such intense flames but also possessed terrifying ice-type talents filled Kong Ruobing with utter disbelief.
Whenever she thought she knew Zhang Lingshan well enough, Zhang Lingshan would make her feel that she didn't know him well enough.
How many secrets does the other party still have?
[Scent of Death: Beginner, 0/100]
'Um? '
Zhang Lingshan frowned.
Unbeknownst to him, under the nourishment of Zhang Zixin's large amount of spiritual rice, he slowly recovered his blood and energy. At the same time, the Myriad Laws and the Myriad Laws True Scripture also helped him comprehend the aura of death.
However, compared to the aura of life, the experience points for the aura of death are somewhat too high.
It should be noted that when one was still a beginner, the aura of life only required 1 unit of energy, but the aura of death required a full hundred times that of the aura of life.
Is it reasonable?
That makes perfect sense.
The saying goes, "Know life before you know death."
The breath of life is easy to grasp, but its essence cannot be understood.
The aura of death is difficult to comprehend, but once comprehended, it can nourish the aura of life, allowing you to gain a more thorough understanding of life after knowing death.
In this way, the two complement each other, thus enabling one to achieve the power of "knowing life and death, and distinguishing yin and yang".
Zhang Lingshan's ability to comprehend the aura of death has surpassed that of countless others.
Not to mention, in the blink of an eye, he started adding points.
100 points is enough to get started.
1000 grains, directly achieve minor success!
