Family cultivation of immortality: starting from Jiuhua Mountain

Chapter 272: Ending the locust plague [please vote]

As soon as Chen Yuhua and Xie Qingming returned to Cangqing Valley, they immediately prepared to start refining the alchemy and continue to refine the Locust Spirit Powder.

The effect of the Locust Spirit Powder has been seen with one's own eyes. With the Locust Spirit Powder, the speed at which they hunt the East Pole locusts has been increased by almost ten times.

With the help of Locust Spirit Powder, a foundation-building monk can kill a group of third-level East Pole locusts.

There is currently a shortage of experts in Cangqing Valley, and there are fifty or sixty groups of East Pole Locusts coming down from Xianxiafang. Only by exerting the effect of Locust Spirit Powder can this locust plague be suppressed.

With the full support of the four major families of Xia Xie and Yangliu, hundreds of Qi-training monks took action to search for all the auxiliary elixirs for refining Locust Spirit Powder from their home warehouses, elixir gardens, Xihefang, and vassal families.

Waiting for Chen Yuhua and Xie Qingming to return, the auxiliary elixir for refining Locust Spirit Powder has been piled up in Cangqing Valley.

Good guy, this is just Chen Yuhua being treated as an alchemy tool.

Even the other foundation-building monks killed two groups of third-order East Pole locusts that entered Yunzhou and brought back their compound eyes.

However, refining the Locust Spirit Powder is now a top priority. Chen Yuhua had no time to rest after returning and devoted himself to refining the elixir non-stop.

Xie Qingming and other foundation-building monks were also divided into three teams, and they immediately started hunting the East Pole locust swarms that entered Yunzhou's territory.

Even Jiang Hongming, who was in the Zifu period, took action and patrolled Jiuhua Mountain, Cangqing Valley, Yangquan Ridge, Hongfeng Lake and other places to protect the territories of the five major families.

In order to prevent the East Pole Locust from breaking through the defense line of the foundation-building monks and killing a large number of mortals, causing irreparable losses.

With the last experience, the success rate of refining the Locust Spirit Powder is higher. With six furnaces of elixirs, Chen Yuhua successfully refined six boxes of the Locust Spirit Powder.

After refining the Locust Spirit Powder, the foundation-building monks in Cangqing Valley became even more powerful. They quickly suppressed the momentum of the locust plague and eliminated the six or seven groups of locusts that had just entered Yunzhou.

Every time a third-level East Pole Locust is hunted, a box of Locust Spirit Powder can be refined. With the help of the Locust Spirit Powder, the Yunzhou monks have formed a virtuous cycle, and soon revealed their powerful advantages and defeated the East Pole Locust. They were driven out of Yunzhou and pushed back into the Southern Wilderness.

Having gained the upper hand, the Yunzhou monks must of course continue to work hard to prevent the East Pole Locust from becoming the climate. They went deep into the southern wilderness, constantly looking for traces of the East Pole Locust, and nipping this terrible monster insect in the bud.

In this way, the battle to exterminate the locusts continued for more than three months. When the last group of third-order East Pole locusts in the southern wilderness was eliminated, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Now they have finally passed this disaster.

In order to thank Jiang Hongming for his help, each of the five major families in Yunzhou donated two thousand spirit stones as a token of gratitude to him for helping the five major families in Yunzhou survive this crisis.

Ten thousand spirit stones are not a small sum even for a monk in the Zifu period.

It should be noted that the annual offerings from the Qingyuan Sect to the Zifu monks are only twelve hundred spirit stones per year.

This time Jiang Hongming didn't take action himself. In just over three months, he only provided the prescription of Locust Spirit Powder and earned 10,000 spirit stones.

Seeing that the five major families led by Chen Yuhua were so good, his face also showed a bit of joy.

"No wonder Senior Brother Shen and Junior Brother Feng were so optimistic about this boy in the early years. It seems to be not without reason..."

Even the more than ten foundation-building monks of the Qingyuan Sect who followed Jiang Hongming, Chen Yuhua and others did not make their trip in vain. Each of the foundation-building monks presented five hundred spirit stones as "Cheng Yi", which was used to Thanks for their support.

Although the locust plague that poured in from Xianxiafang this time did not penetrate deep into Yunzhou and the population loss was minimal, it still cost the five major families a lot of money to survive the disaster.

In order to thank Jiang Hongming and others for their help, the five families spent more than 15,000 spirit stones and refined dozens of boxes of locust spirit powder, consuming more than 9,000 auxiliary elixirs worth more than 9,000 spirit stones.

In addition to the more than twenty third-level spiritual talismans lost in the battle with the third-level East Pole Locust, the total amount exceeds five thousand spiritual stones. These costs must be shared by the five families of Chen Xia, Xie Yang and Liu.

In order to eliminate this locust plague, each of the remaining four families must devote more than 6,000 spiritual stones.

There are no good things in the East Pole Locust. Except for a few blades and legs, other materials are not valuable at all.

As of now, in addition to the remaining seven boxes of Locust Spirit Powder, their spoils only have more than 200 East Pole Locust Blade Legs. After all, the East Pole Locust is a third-level monster, and the blade-foot materials can still be used to refine second-level high-grade magical weapons. If the family's weapon refiner can refine these blade-legs into magical weapons, it is estimated that half of the resources can be recovered.

Chen Yuhua's several principals settled the accounts and paid each other's debts. Finally, each of them returned to their respective spiritual mountains with some East Pole Locust Blades.

In order to prevent the East Pole Locust from killing the Jiuhua Mountain and causing irreparable losses to the Chen family, the third elder Chen Zhengxiong has also been guarding the Jiuhua Mountain with the family's qi training deacons and backbones these days.

Seeing that Chen Yuhua came back unscathed, the third elder also dismissed the family elders and asked them to perform their respective duties and follow him back to the ancestral land of Jiuhua Mountain.

"Yuhua, how was your trip? Were you injured?"

After returning to the cave, Chen Zhengxiong also asked worriedly.

"Uncle Third, it's okay. The locust plague has been suppressed and not many resources were wasted!"

Chen Zhengxiong also knows that Chen Yuhua has never liked to take care of these chores. In recent years, the burden of the family has almost completely fallen on Chen Yuhua, making it impossible for him to practice in seclusion with peace of mind and break through the Zifu as soon as possible.

Ever since the old patriarch went into retreat to recover from his injuries, Chen Yuhua had to make the decision on everything in the family.

Seeing that several major families in Yunzhou were constantly allocating resources to Cangqing Valley, although Chen Zhengxiong knew that eradicating the locust plague would go smoothly, he also knew that a large amount of resources had been consumed.

Chen Yuhua smiled bitterly and said: "It will be good if we can suppress the locust plague. Fortunately, there is not much loss to the monks as mortals, and our family's share of the spiritual stone is not much."

"But there is a harvest. There are still seven boxes of Locust Spirit Powder and ninety East Pole Locust Saber Legs. I can bring them back to Jinlong Mountain in a few days and let my grandfather refine them all into a complete set of third-level magic weapons. In fact, I can make a lot of money. ."

In recent years, with the mining of Jingxuan Iron Ore in Chiyao Mountain, the opening of many shops and restaurants in Sanzhoufang City, the successful domestication of golden silkworms, the reclamation of spiritual fields, and the expansion of Jiuhua Mountain Spiritual Medicine Garden.

The Chen family's income has almost exploded. Compared with before the Monster Rebellion, the income of the Chen family can increase by several thousand spirit stones every year.

But this year, it was the Chen family's turn to escort the caravans of the five major families in Yunzhou into Xianxiafang trade to supply spiritual rice.

The clan leader is guarding the Jinlong Mountain, and Liu Qingyun is a female, with a relatively cold personality and does not like to deal with outsiders, so this time it is Chen Yuhua's turn to escort the caravan.

As for letting the other elders of the family go, Chen Yuhua was also a little worried. After all, their strength was still somewhat insufficient.

You must know that Patriarch Moyi is running out of life now, and his disciples have been unable to open up the Zifu. There has been a lot of chaos inside and outside Xianxiafang recently, and murders and treasure seizures occur frequently.

This time, although Patriarch Mo Yi killed the fourth-level high-grade East Pole Locust King, the losses on Xianxia Mountain were still immeasurable.

In particular, the elixir garden that had been cultivated for three to four hundred years was destroyed. All the elixirs in the garden were eaten by the East Pole locusts, and many years of hard work were ruined.

This blow was also a huge blow to Ancestor Mo Yi. After hearing this bad news, Ancestor Mo Yi seemed to be a little older and could no longer hold on.

Not only that, the spiritual rice grown in the spiritual fields on Xianxia Mountain was all eaten and destroyed by the East Pole Locusts. More than 2,000 casual cultivators were killed or injured during the Qi training period. Almost half of the mortal relatives on the mountain were also killed or injured. Even the monks in the foundation building period were killed and injured. , and more than a dozen people were killed.

Although the locust plague was repelled, Xianxiafang was indeed hurt this time.

Especially some monks in the Qi training period, because their parents, wives and children died in Xianxiafang, they are already a little disheartened.

In addition, knowing that Patriarch Moyi's time is short and the land of Xianxiafang is afraid that there will be no peace, many casual cultivators are already preparing to leave Xianxia Mountain and return to their hometown to spend their remaining years.

The spiritual fields on Xianxia Mountain could originally provide half of the monks' spiritual rice needs, but now they are all lost. This gap needs to be filled by several major families in Yunzhou.
