Chapter 86 Half a Year
The cost of spiritual stones to cultivate spiritual grass is still too high. If only relying on spiritual stones to supplement the fertility of the field, she will not be able to save much in her pocket throughout the year.

Therefore, her research has to continue.

After half a year.

In the small courtyard, Huaying opened the fence door and walked in with small steps.

"Cuckoo, cluck, let's eat."

Following her call, in the fence surrounded by fences, more than two dozen half-grown chicks chirped and chirped, swarming from all corners.

Huaying slapped the storage bag casually, and dumped a large pile of melon vines and leaves onto the ground at her feet.I saw that the twenty or so piebald chicks quickly swarmed up, pecking at the melon leaves and robbing them frantically.

After a while, the chicks scooped up all the melon vines and leaves, and scattered away after eating and drinking.

After they dispersed, Huaying used a broom to clean up the piles of chicken manure all over the floor, and with a small hand, collected them into Yu Peili.

"The quantity is still too small, not enough at all."

After finishing all this, Huaying walked out of the fence, closed the fence gate again, and counted with her fingers, "At present, the chicken manure can only be more than one catty a day at most, and when it grows up, it should produce about three or four catties a day. It’s still much worse, let’s see if we can find someone to buy it.”

In the past six months, Huaying's research has taken another big step forward.

Coincidentally, three months ago, she saw someone selling baby chickens on the side street. She originally wanted to buy a few chickens to raise at home, and cook them as roast chickens when they grew up. On the contrary, she found a surprise.

Why surprise?

The surprise was the chicken droppings that Huaying had cleaned up just now, to be precise, it was the chicken droppings of spirit chickens, and the twenty or so chicks she raised were all piebald spirit chickens.

This spiritual chicken is not a monster, but an laying hen artificially raised by monks.In Dongshanfang City, some monks make a living by raising spirit chickens and selling spirit eggs. Compared with spirit melons, the demand is much higher.

After an accidental experiment, Huaying was surprised to find that the chicken manure collected from ling chickens by secular methods, retting and decomposing, and applying it in the ling field can have the same effect as wood spirit stones.

This discovery made her very surprised, because this method was never mentioned in the "Spiritual Planting Manual". Although the chicken manure of the spirit chicken contains a small amount of spiritual energy, it is not pure wood spirit energy. It's hard to absorb.

But the fields in the jade pendant space can naturally absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit dung without any rejection.

After the first attempt, Huaying went through several experiments and was even more sure that this method really worked. Immediately she was extremely excited, hugged the chicken cubs and kissed them twice.

This is a discovery of great significance, which means that she has found a solution to replace the spirit stones. If things go on like this, it is unknown how many spirit stones will be left.

For this reason, she deliberately bought [-] more baby chickens, and now they are raised in the yard, and they don't need to feed the spirit grain every day, just throw the unsalable spirit melon vines and leaves to them to eat. , it can be said that the cost of feeding is extremely low, but the output is very high.

The spiritual chickens have been raised for more than two months now, and they are half grown. After a while, they will be fully grown. At that time, they can harvest spiritual eggs and sell them every day, and they can also pick up a lot of spiritual dung for use. Composting nourishes the spirit field, which kills two birds with one stone. It is undoubtedly another income-generating point after the spirit melon.

If this is accomplished, at least in a short period of time, Huaying will not be short of spirit stones.After saving up more spirit stones, she can also exchange for some high-level spirit pills, talismans, and even low-grade magic weapons.

Before that, she couldn't keep the spirit stone in her hand. Except for her cultivation base that had been increasing, the other fighting methods can be said to have made no progress.

If you start fighting with others, you don't have a few talismans and a good weapon, even if you have a whole body of cultivation, it won't help.

Those who cultivate immortals all pay attention to "law, wealth and land". If the law is the first, wealth is the second. If there is not enough financial support, it is inevitable that they will fall behind in the battle of skills.

Back in the house, Huaying closed the door, and then a thought entered the jade pendant.

It is still the half-acre square field, and the white mist around it still has no intention of retreating.

In this half-acre spirit field, apart from the spirit melons in the spirit melon field growing normally, there are also some other spirit herbs planted in other places.

A large area of ​​spiritual valleys, more than a dozen plants of star condensing grass, and some low-level spiritual grasses that Huaying searched all over the city and finally found, such as green grass and yellow grass. These two kinds of grass are very common. The second of several kinds of spiritual herbs for refining the low-level panacea 'Huiqi Pill'.

Huiqi Dan is a kind of elixir that can quickly make up for the lack of mana. It cannot be used as a medicine for cultivation, but it is also extremely important for monks, and it can be said that everyone must have it.

Generally speaking, when cultivators fight with each other, the side with stronger mana will naturally have a better chance of winning.But if you don't take pills such as Huiqi Pill to continuously replenish mana, you will easily fall into a passive position in a war of attrition, so there are not a few opponents who are lower than yourself.

The reason why Huaying planted these two kinds of spirit grass was simply to exchange for more spirit stones. Long-term consumption of Star Ningcao cultivation was huge. If she didn't think of ways to increase her income, the spirit stones would not be enough sooner or later.

In recent months, the market price of Xingningcao in Dongshanfang City has soared rapidly, and even the price of Qi Gathering Pill has risen a lot. Therefore, many low-level monks are miserable, saying that they can't afford the medicine anymore. A few people even clamored to move to other cities to make a living.

The reason for all of this, naturally, must be attributed to Huaying.

Who told her to secretly search for a lot of star grass in order to take medicine for cultivation, which caused a sharp drop in the number of star grass in the hands of casual cultivators on the market. In just half a year, she had to buy almost fifty plants of star grass .

Fifty plants were more or less, but they attracted the attention of those alchemy pavilions. They took advantage of the trend to raise the price, and strictly controlled the outflow of star condensing grass in their hands, which caused the amount of star condensing grass on the market There are fewer and fewer, and the price of Qi Gathering Pills is getting more and more expensive.

It's hard to buy Huaying now. The price of Star Ningcao is quite expensive, but luckily, I haven't come across it once in a few days. It hasn't been long since it was planted, and there are not many star grass left in the field now.

Not having a seed source is always a big problem. If this continues, the Star Ningcao will be out of stock sooner or later.

In fact, these days, Huaying is also secretly thinking about the way out in the future, thinking that she might simply move to another market like those monks, or directly find a large market to settle down.

Staying in a small place like Dongshanfang City all the time, she always felt that her hands and feet were tied up, whether she wanted the pill stove, the pill stove, the seeds, or the pill formula, which was very annoying.

However, this matter is still to be discussed, and there is no rush.
