83 January

Time flies by.

It has been a month since Huaying came here in Dongshanfang City. In the past month, she practiced diligently and made a lot of progress in her cultivation.

Of course, this is inseparable from the contribution of the spiritual stones obtained from farming and selling melons. Without the income of dozens of low-grade spiritual stones every month, I am afraid that her cultivation would have been difficult.

However, the spiritual stones obtained from selling spirit melons have become almost constant. She has been actively looking for other spiritual objects to increase her income this month. Unfortunately, there are no vendors selling spirit grass seeds in Dongshanfang City. She searched around and only found some Lingu is back.

Spiritual grains can naturally be planted, but sowing this thing will take up a lot of land, and the value is not high, and it can't be sold at a price in the market, which is far less than the profit of spiritual melons.

After trying to grow Huaying for a few days, it matures quite quickly, basically once a day or two, but it takes half the cost of a spirit stone to harvest a spirit grain worth a spirit stone, and the profit inside and outside is only half a yuan Lingshi, and can't increase production, a round of planting almost took up all the land except the spirit melon field.

Moreover, such things as spirit valleys are not easy to sell. There are so many stocks in the stock market, and almost no monk will be short of spirit valleys.

Even if it is sold to the alchemy pavilion, it won't work. The spirit grains used by the alchemy pavilions to refine bigu pills have their own purchase channels. Merchants compete on prices.

Therefore, after trying to plant a few rounds of spiritual grains for the first time and finding it difficult to sell, Huaying no longer planted this plant, and she had to slowly digest the hundreds of catties of spiritual grains she had accumulated.

That's good, at least I don't have to worry about being hungry in the future.

Therefore, after discovering that the road of planting Linggu was not feasible, Huaying had no choice but to turn her thoughts to Xingningcao again.

That day she snatched about 300 Xingningcao plants from Niutoushan. In terms of value alone, they can sell for at least two or three hundred yuan for low-grade spirit stones.

These are all more than 15-year-old star grass, and the ordinary star grass in the market for those ten years is generally maintained at a price between four and five spirit stones.

Although it has been a long time, these dozens of star grasses are still very well preserved in the jade pendant space, as if they were just picked, they are extremely fresh and shiny.

Since the seeds of the spirit grass could not be found in Fangshi, Huaying came up with the plan to breed the star grass by herself.

A few days ago, she deliberately picked out a small piece of spirit field, tried to transplant a few stalks of star grass into the field, and after applying spirit stone powder, she observed the growth of the spirit grass for several days.

After the few plants of star condensing grass took root in the field, they really started to grow again, and their spiritual power was sufficient in just a few days, and there was a faint tendency to rush for 20 years.

The growth of the spirit grass is so gratifying, it stands to reason that Huaying should be very happy, but she is not at all happy, instead she is frowning and depressed.

Seeing these star grass grow stronger day by day, and consume more spirit stones day by day, her worry has become more and more obvious.

On this day, after Huaying got up early and went out to deliver the spirit melons harvested today to Li He, she rushed back without stopping.

After she came back, she squatted in front of a few plants of star grass as she did a few days ago, staring straight at them, frowning tightly and muttering to herself:
"You are blooming, why don't you just grow and not bloom!"

It's true, even though these star grasses grow quite quickly after absorbing the spiritual energy in the spirit stone powder, but they just don't bloom, and there is no sign of blooming at all.

If you don't bloom, you can't produce seeds, and if you can't produce seeds, you can't grow star grass in large quantities.

This was hard for Huaying. She searched through the "Spiritual Planting Handbook", but found no record of how to cultivate spiritual grass seeds.

It's also all the fault of those immortal families in the world of cultivating immortals. In order to firmly control the cultivation of spiritual grass in their own hands, they strictly control the sale of spiritual grass seeds, and even strictly control the method of breeding seeds. Fang's blockade is worse than worse.

For ordinary casual cultivators and those small sects and small families, if they want to get spiritual grass seeds to cultivate and reproduce, unless they can find spiritual grasses that just blossom and bear fruit from the wild, it will be as difficult as heaven.

Generally speaking, spiritual grass will grow old on its own after reaching the peak age. For example, low-level spiritual grass such as star grass will wither and die after it grows to a maximum of 50 years.

In the meantime, no one can guarantee when and under what circumstances it will bloom and bear fruit.

Moreover, judging from the current shortage of wild spirit grass in the world of cultivating immortals, most of the star grass will be picked up by the monks who go to the mountains to collect herbs after ten years of growth, and there is no chance to wait until it blooms and bears seeds naturally.

Therefore, this has also led to only those powerful celestial families who, after years of trying and exploring, have summed up a set of methods for spawning seeds.

But this kind of experience, not to mention outsiders, is rarely known even by their own core disciples, let alone outsiders.

Spirit grass, spirit seeds, and the prescription of spirit pills are all secrets of the immortal sect. This is related to the lifeblood of every immortal sect family. Whether the sect family can maintain its prosperity depends on this.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for a small casual cultivator like Huaying who has just stepped into the world of cultivating immortals to come into contact with such secrets. Even the "Lingzhi Handbook" is just something that countless senior casual cultivators have figured out on their own. Some superficial experiences have been summarized into books.

"It's a flower anyway"

Speaking of this matter, Huaying was extremely tired. Now that she planted spirit melons every day, she had to artificially pollinate the flowers that bloomed on those melon seedlings one by one in the morning, so as to force them to grow. The melon seedlings knotted smoothly.

The reason for manual work is also a helpless move.

In this jade space, there are neither honey insects nor natural wind, so she has to do it herself if she wants to pollinate.

Artificial pollination is a delicate job. The spirit gourd flower is very small. Every day, she bends over the flower, pounding it into the center of the flower with her fingers to collect pollen, and spreading it on other flowers one by one.

If there was wind, it wouldn't be so troublesome. When the wind blows, the pollen will naturally spread everywhere.

However, hard work is hard work. Anyway, the benefits are good, and cultivation is not easy. Hard work is better than stagnation.

Unfortunately, the star grass refused to bloom for a long time, and Huaying didn't even have the chance to work hard for artificial pollination, which really drove her to death.

Now, seeing that the age of the star grass is getting higher and higher, and it will soon exceed 30 years, but there is no sign of flowering at all, Huaying is really angry and desperate.

"This has already exceeded 30 years, why is it still growing?"

Huaying was completely watching these plants of star condensing grass, broke through their own top years with unstoppable momentum, and ran straight to the 50th year, opened their mouths in surprise on the spot, and it took a long time to jump out. In a word.
