Grow from a fairy seed

Chapter 45: Are children delicious? The clever Li Li, the income of Xiuxian Daily has soared
Xiaobai raised his hand.

Ji Qiu looked at her and said, "Say."

Xiaobai: "Does the child taste good?"

Ji Qiu shook his head: "I don't know."

Xiaobai: "Then can I try it? I'll let you know if it tastes good."

Ji Qiu stared at her.

Xiaobai looked away guiltily: "I'll just say it casually, I know you can't eat people..."

Zhutao smiled slightly and asked: "How old are the two children? Do you need me to prepare anything?"

Ji Qiu said: "No, just prepare more for them when cooking."

“You can also let them help with cooking.”

Zhutao smiled: "No need, I'm still used to doing it myself."

Ji Qiu nodded: "As for the farming in Lingtian, you can take the time to teach them, and then let them do the work."

"You should spend more time practicing."

Zhutao's talent is very good, but his cultivation is not progressing quickly.

In addition to her mediocre skills, she also has too many things to do, so her training time is very short.

Zhutao nodded: "Yes, young master."

After dinner, Ji Qiu went to the spiritual field and looked at the growth status of the medicinal materials.

Except for a few medicinal herbs that have been eaten by insects and died, most of the medicinal herbs grow healthily.

Now the spiritual field is covered with green leaves and full of vitality.

The Cuiyu chicken has one more egg, and now there are two.

The incubation period of the first one is already halfway through.

After a while, the chickens will be born.

Ji Qiu also went to see another spiritual field.

The spiritual fields here have been sown and have just begun to sprout.

Because there are not many people taking care of them here, there are slightly more chances of being bitten by insects and birds.

It will be much better when the two kids come over.

After Ji Qiu inspected his spiritual field, he returned to the white mist and began to practice thunder.

The vitality flows from Ji Qiu's fingertips.

A small thunder pattern flickered and jumped in Ji Qiu's fingertips, trying to leave Ji Qiu's body and jump out.

Ji Qiu held on for a while, then lost his vitality.

Or not.

Yin Lei wants to leave the body, which requires extremely high control over his vitality.

Fortunately, after Ji Qiu practiced the fire control technique, his grasp of vitality became much better.

The improvement of thunder method is also much faster than before.

Ji Qiu has already reached the edge of mastering the thunder method, and in a few days, he should be able to separate the silver thunder from the body and enter the first layer of the Zhengyang thunder method!
Zhutao is also meditating and practicing.

Xiaobai was eating the raspberries that Ji Qiu accidentally picked on the road, his brows were so sour that he frowned, but he was still eating.

In the middle of the night, Ji Qiu went back to the house and lay down.

Zhu Tao pulled the quilt, pulled the pillow next to Ji Qiu's pillow, and lay down.

Lights out.

Zhutao suddenly whispered: "Master, it's almost March 25th."

It's her birthday.

After she finished speaking, she waited nervously for Ji Qiu's response.

She has reached her age, and if the young master still doesn’t want her, then he dislikes her...

Just when Zhutao was thinking wildly, Ji Qiu said: "I will prepare a birthday gift for you then."

Zhutao's heart beat a little faster, and she boldly said, "I... just want the young master."

Ji Qiu smiled: "Bold."

"Master, I was wrong."

Ji Qiu held Zhutao's feet and said, "I have to give you a gift. I'll talk about what you think about when the time comes."

Although Ji Qiu has experienced human affairs and has a certain taste for food, as a young master, he still has to hold back.

Zhu Tao didn't know that this man was pretending, so she was a little nervous: "I will take good care of the young master..."

"Can you promise me?"

Ji Qiu fell asleep.

Zhutao covered half of her face with a quilt and fell asleep somewhat melancholy.

In the next four days, Ji Qiu took Zhutao to build a house next to another spiritual field.

With the guidance in the book, the house Ji Qiu built this time was much more beautiful.

But this time, Ji Qiu still built a one-story house.

Multi-layer structures are more complex and troublesome to build, and require better load-bearing wood.

But it is very dangerous to enter the mountains now, and there is no suitable wood, so we built it like this first.

Anyway, a one-story house is enough for two children. After dealing with the spider monster, we can start building an improved house.

There are three rooms in total prepared by Ji Qiu.

Li Li and Li Renshou both have separate rooms, and the other room is reserved for them to store some farm tools and other things.

The house is ready.

March [-].

Ji Qiu went to Qingshi Town and met Li Wenjie.

As soon as they met, Li Wenjie said excitedly: "Brother Ji, your idea is really brilliant!"

"There are a lot of people here, let's talk about it at home?"

Ji Qiu was very satisfied with Li Wenjie's caution and said with a smile: "Okay, please."

The two arrived at Li Wenjie's home.

After entering the room, Li Wenjie said in a low voice: "According to what you said, after the changes, the newspaper sold out quickly!"

"Songcheng has been selling almost [-] copies in the past few days."

"Rongcheng, Yuecheng and Ancheng are also being sold."

"But the output of the workshop is not enough. Selling [-] copies a day is already the limit."

With that said, Li Wenjie handed the accounts to Ji Qiu.

Ji Qiu flipped through it.

In four days, more than 21 newspapers were sold, earning more than 530 spiritual stones and printing costs of 130 spiritual stones.

Ji Qiu was able to obtain nearly 320 spirit stones.

Li Wenjie was able to get nearly forty spiritual stones.

It's only been four days.

Ji Qiu put down the accounts and asked, "How is the acquisition of the workshop going?"

Li Wenjie shook his head: "We are still negotiating, but the price has not been reached."

"The Xinglong Workshop we cooperate with has a total of twelve printing machines and sells [-] spirit stones."

Ji Qiu asked: "How much does a printing machine cost?"

The current printing machine of the Great Spirit Dynasty was developed by Jinshisi. Putting in the spirit stone, you can use the special spirit needle to write the text and print it.Li Wenjie said, "About three hundred spirit stones."

Ji Qiu: "A printing machine worth [-] spirit stones, plus some skilled workers, will be sold to us for [-] spirit stones?"

Li Wenjie sighed: "The purchase of printing machines needs to be reported and will be manufactured after approval from the government."

"If we buy it ourselves, it would be quick to get the printing machine in one year, and we would have to spend some spiritual stones on it."

"Otherwise, don't buy it. Do you think it's unnecessary?"

Ji Qiu thought for a moment and shook his head: "I have to buy it. Some people have noticed that newspapers make money and will compete with us."

"If the other party has a solid family background, they can snatch our workshop at a high price, and we can only raise the price accordingly."

"The other party can boil us to death, and then lower the wages for the workshop."

Li Wenjie took a breath: "I see, there are such dangerous tricks."

Ji Qiu said: "It's better to keep the price as low as possible. If it doesn't work, just buy it if you save eight thousand spirit stones."

"For the rest of the workshops, contact a few more to see who is interested in selling them."

Li Wenjie nodded: "I understand."

After talking about the newspaper, Ji Qiu asked, "I have one more thing to ask Brother Li."

"You're welcome, just ask."

Ji Qiu: "Brother Li, does he know anyone who sells defensive formations? Formations that don't belong to the class."

There are several types of defensive restrictions.

There are usually charming reverses, maze formations that make people spin in circles, counterattack bans that directly attack intruders, and denial formations that block all unauthorized things from entering.

There are also some powerful formation masters who can prohibit and cross-set formations to obtain a variety of effects.

Li Wenjie shook his head: "Brother Ji thinks too highly of me. How can a monk with formation skills associate with a casual cultivator like me?"

Even after earning the spiritual stone, Li Wenjie still thought that he was a low-status casual cultivator.

This is also the reason why countless casual cultivators persistently spend a lot of money to train their children and let their heirs enter sects or government offices.

The end of the universe is indeed the establishment. Ji Qiu said: "Then I will ask elsewhere."

"Brother Li, if you have time, you can find a few people who are good at telling stories."

"Immortal Cultivation Daily can develop B and C editions. It can tell stories about famous monks, and then talk about how to get started with cultivating immortals."

Li Wenjie took note of it carefully.

He has now decided that Ji Qiu is the biggest opportunity in his life, and he takes everything Ji Qiu says extremely seriously!

After he finished memorizing it, Ji Qiu said, "If it's convenient today, can I take the two children away?"

Li Wenjie stood up quickly: "It's convenient. We've packed up our clothes and everything. We're just waiting for Brother Ji."

As he spoke, he called out to the door: "Xiaoli, Renshou, come here."

The two of them each carried a small bundle and ran downstairs.

Yin Muhe followed the two children and said, "You must listen to Senior Ji in everything."

"He will be your elder from now on, so you must serve him with all your heart and filial piety."

The two children said in unison: "I know, Mom."

Ji Qiu took the two children out of Li's house.

The time to take over the mission today has been missed. Ji Qiu took the two of them directly back to his spiritual field.

Zhutao prepared the meal and received the two of them.

Li Li and Li Renshou were both well-behaved, not noisy and very obedient.

Had lunch.

Ji Qiu took them to their residence and gave Li Li a communication charm.

"If something unexpected happens, tear open the talisman and people from the sect will come."

Li Li accepted the communication talisman, looked at Ji Qiu, and said, "Xiao Li remembers it."

Ji Qiu nodded with satisfaction: "Sister Zhutao will take you to Lingtian in the afternoon and teach you how to farm."

"The spiritual field protected by the fence belongs to me and will be left to you to take care of."

"Yes, Senior Ji."

Ji Qiu explained clearly and turned to leave.

Li Li and Li Renshou maintained their saluting postures for a long time before putting them away.

Li Renshou blinked and asked, "Sister, does such a large spiritual field belong to Senior Ji?"

Li Li nodded: "Senior Ji is really a very powerful person."

Li Renshou: "How many spiritual stones are these spiritual fields worth?"

Li Li calculated: "Six or seven acres of spiritual land will cost more than 3000 spiritual stones."

Li Renshou took a breath, looking quite like his father: "I have never seen so many spiritual stones..."

Li Li's eyes sparkled: "Senior Ji is very powerful, we must serve him well!"

Li Renshou nodded: "Appreciate the teacher as soon as possible!"

When Li Li heard about the apprenticeship, he didn't continue talking. He just clapped his hands and said, "I'll clean up the room first. I have to work in the afternoon."

"it is good."

Li Renshou was still young, so Li Li helped him clean up the room for the two of them and settled in there.

Early the next morning.

Before dawn.

Ji Qiu got up, and as soon as he went out, he saw Li Li and Li Renshou standing at the door.

"Greetings to Senior Ji."

When the two of them saw Ji Qiu, they quickly raised their hands and saluted.

Ji Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "You don't need to be so polite in the future, just work hard and practice hard."

Li Li cupped his hands: "My mother entrusted me to respect Senior Ji with all my heart. It's right to be present."

She inherited her mother's generosity, was good at talking, and knew etiquette.

Ji Qiu said: "If you really want to respect someone, you don't have to stick to the situation."

Li Renshou wanted to say something.

Li Li spoke first: "Everything will be subject to Senior Ji's arrangements."

Ji Qiu nodded: "In the future, just come over for dinner at the scheduled time. Let's go practice for a while first."

Had breakfast.

Just as Ji Qiu was about to go out, the boulder fell.

Xiaobai reacted quickly, jumped up, caught the stone and threw it aside.

Ji Qiu and Zhutao took it for granted.

Li Li and Li Ren stood there dumbly, stunned and speechless by Xiao Bai's outrageous and skillful operation.

Ji Qiu left and walked towards Qingshi Town.

Halfway there, in a deserted place, the skin on Ji Qiu's face seemed to be crawling with earthworms, and his appearance quickly changed.

There is enough time to evolve the Tao Seed, so Ji Qiu plans to sell the spirit stones first and then evolve the Tao Seed.

Spider monsters are really annoying.

Moreover, the spider monster can harass Ji Qiu at no cost. It can keep trying without any restrictions. Xiaobai will suffer heavy losses if he makes one mistake.

Ten days.

Ji Qiu must first get rid of the defensive restrictions and deal with the harassment of the spider monsters.
