Chapter 78 Spirit Melon
"."

Facing Huaying's question, who knows, the young monk didn't reply, as if he didn't hear anyone talking to him.

"Fellow Daoist?" Hua Ying asked again.

This time, the young monk raised his head slowly and said with a blushing face, "My melon is not ripe."

When he spoke, his eyes wandered, he seemed a little shy, and he didn't dare to look directly at Huaying's face.

Huaying nodded, not caring about the other party's reaction, but continued to ask: "It doesn't matter if you don't guarantee ripeness, how do you sell these melons and fruits?"

"One piece of spirit stone. Twenty catties." The young monk stammered out a price.

"Oh."

Huaying doesn't understand the market situation, she just asked him casually, it doesn't matter how much a piece of Lingshi is, as long as it is worth something.

She doesn't dare to sell spirit grass, but she dares to sell spirit melon and spirit fruit. This thing is actually not uncommon. It grows in the wild much more than spirit grass. Even if it is sold in the market, it will not attract the attention of others. .

If there is a market for spirit melons, then she can grow spirit melons and sell them herself. She may not make a lot of money, but she should earn more spirit stones than doing odd jobs for others.

The wages that Zhou Wen and Xu Gui spent on the Fangshi gate for a month were only half a piece of Lingshi, not to mention other handymen, the wages would only be lower.

"I just picked these spirit melons, I can send you to taste one."

The young monk saw that Huaying spoke kindly and softly, unlike other female monks who always put on an air of aloofness, so the nervousness and shyness eased a lot.

"Ah, send me?" Huaying exclaimed softly, as if she didn't expect the other party to be so generous.

However, although she really wanted to take the melons and fruits handed by the other party to taste, but when she thought that she was now penniless and didn't have the spirit stone to buy the other party's spirit melons, she didn't have the nerve to reach out to pick them up.

"Fellow Daoist is too polite, I can't afford your melon, just ask casually, don't mind."

"It's okay, anyway, I picked it up in the wild and gave it to you."

Seeing that the young monk insisted on handing her the spirit melon, Huaying declined several times in a row to no avail, so she had to brazenly reach out and take it.

She didn't buy anything from the other party, and she got a cantaloupe for nothing, which made her feel embarrassed.

But there is one thing to say, this spirit melon is really fragrant, Huaying put her nose close to the melon and sniffed it, and immediately the melon smelled fragrant, and her heart and spleen were filled with this fragrance.

Not to mention, the spirit melons in the world of cultivating immortals are indeed better than the melons in the secular world, and the smell alone has surpassed the melons she had grown in the jade pendant space in the past.

As an expert at eating melons, Hua Ying couldn't help it when she smelled it, and immediately began to gnaw it in small mouthfuls.

If she was in a place where no one was around, she would definitely eat it, but there were too many people on the street, so she could only eat a little less, and became much more demure.

Three times and two times, a spirit melon is eaten, if she wants to comment, it can be described in four words: sweet and delicious.

It's no wonder that some people set up stalls to sell spirit melons. With this taste, there must be some monks who are not short of money willing to spend money to buy some to try something new.Moreover, the spirit melon contains a little spiritual energy, which is also very beneficial to the cultivation of monks. Although it is not as effective as the medicine of the spirit pill, it is also much better than those meals such as the spirit valley.

The monks in the Qi refining period are not yet able to fast, so it is inevitable that they will eat some spiritual grains to satisfy their hunger.It's just that the aura of the spirit valley is very little, even if it is eaten for years and months, it is just a drop in the bucket for monks' practice, and it is far less than the improvement of these spirit melons and spirit fruits.

Therefore, there are definitely not a few monks from big families who eat spirit melon and spirit fruit on a daily basis.

"Thank you brother Dao for giving me the spirit melon!"

Seeing that she was old, Huaying called Daoist brother, and when the dull young monk heard it, she inevitably began to look shy again, and quickly waved her hands to express that you are welcome.

Afterwards, Huaying chatted with the young monk, and the two gradually became acquainted.

From the other party's mouth, Huaying learned the origin of these spirit melons.

It turns out that this young monk has only entered the fourth level of Qi training not long ago. Two days ago, he went out to the mountain to collect herbs with fellow Taoists who were in the middle of Qi training. On the way, he was attacked by a monster, which injured several fellow Taoists, but his lives were not in danger.

But this also frightened him so much that he didn't dare to go into the mountains to collect herbs, said goodbye to all the monks on the spot, turned around and returned to the market.

On the way back to Fangshi, he was lucky enough to find a field growing wild spirit melons, so he picked some spirit melons and brought back some spirit fruits.

Although these melons and fruits are not as valuable as spirit grass, he has also heard that some people in the market will buy them, so he came to this small street to set up a stall with the mentality of giving it a try.

After getting a general understanding, Huaying looked down at the pile of spirit melons and spirit fruits on the carpet, and couldn't help sighing, "Brother Dao is so lucky, these spirit melons should weigh over a hundred catties, right?"

"There are 120 catties. I heard from other colleagues that twenty catties of spirit melons can be exchanged for one spirit stone."

Huaying nodded, thinking silently in her heart, 120 catties is six low-grade spirit stones, if she grows melons and sells them, she should be able to make a small fortune.

However, the specific output of spirit melons still needs to be verified. If too many spirit stones are consumed and it is not worthwhile, then there is no need to specialize in planting and selling them.

With this in mind, Hua Yingxuan even bid farewell to the young monk on the spot, turned around and left the side street, and returned to her hometown in the alley without stopping.

Going out for a few hours this time can be regarded as a small gain, and farming to support the family is more or less in line with Huaying's expectations. If this can be done, it will definitely be faster than doing odd jobs.

After returning to Yupei space, Huaying immediately took out a dozen white seeds from her bosom.

These melon seeds were secretly left after she ate the spirit melons given by the young monk just now. Since she wanted to plant spirit melons, she had to choose the right variety. Accepted by monks in

At this time, the fertility in the field was still there, and only a small green vegetable could not absorb much. The field still seemed to be full of aura, and there was a hidden aura in the soil.

Without hesitation, Huaying simply dug a few potholes in the field, and then buried a few spirit melon seeds in them with ease.

Since half a piece of spirit stone doesn't have much spiritual power, she didn't dare to plant too many melon seeds at once, lest the lack of fertility would cause the spirit melons to grow immature and eventually fail to bear fruit.

After the soil layer is covered, everything is ready, and then just wait quietly until the seeds germinate, take root, emerge, mature, and bear fruit.

It was the first time to plant spirit melons, and Huaying was looking forward to the surprises it would bring her. Her pair of agile eyes were always watching the changes in the soil.
