Protect Our Patriarch

Chapter 70: Nine-leaf ginseng

However, 4,000 dry gold sounds like a lot, but that is the output of a full ten years.

And the consumption is also very huge.

For the spirit gathering array alone, the spirit stones had to be replaced every five years, and each time they got five spirit stones, it was allocated to consume one spirit stone every year.

In addition, the fertility of Lingtian is also a huge problem. Lingtian without fertility is like the lack of various vitamins in the human body, and it is easy for the elixir to become disabled or even necrotic.

The best sources of fertility are the ferments of spiritual things. For example, the straw after harvesting and threshing of Lingmi, the purple leaves left over from the purple leaf polygonum, and the residue of spirit fish and spirit meat.

Of course, the main source of fertility is the feces of the raised spirit beasts.

For example, the Huangfu family raised many Linghorn yaks, which produced a lot of manure a year. Except for their own spirit fields, the remaining land is sold to reduce the cost of raising spirit beasts.

Lingjiao yak meat is expensive, naturally it is expensive for a reason, and the cost of breeding is too high. You have to use spiritual fields to plant a large number of spiritual grasses, and occasionally you have to buy the residue of spiritual soybean oil after oil pressing, or the rice bran after threshing spiritual rice, etc.!

Even if it is a family of heaven and man, it has to be carefully calculated in order to have a steady stream of benefits.

Similarly, the maintenance of spiritual fields is also extremely troublesome. The cost of gathering spiritual energy, replacing spiritual stones in the gathering array, building and maintaining the irrigation system of spiritual springs, supplementing the fertility of spiritual fields, and treating diseases and pests, etc., is very expensive.

However, if the Lingtian is planted well. Not only the output value is high, but also the heritage of a family.

Wang Shouzhe put aside his distracting thoughts and said, "These transactions of Ziye Heshou are not reflected in the family account book, are they?"

He had carefully looked at the structure of the family books, which did not include the output and expenditure of the two mu of Lingtian.

"Shouzhe, don't worry about this." Wang Xiaohan hurriedly explained, "The income and expenditure of these two acres of Zhongpin Lingtian are all accounted for by myself, and the other elders and patriarchs can check the accounts at any time. After a while Go back to the thatched cottage, and I'll show it to you."

"Part of the output is used to offset the cost of the two acres of middle-grade spiritual fields. Part of it is replaced by Xiaopei Yuandan, and some of the flesh and blood of spirit beasts are gradually included in the family account book in the way other families pay old debts. And inventory, turned into a long-term consumption of the family."

Now Wang Shouzhe remembered that there would indeed be some vaguely described income in the family account books, which were all the money owed to the Wang family by a certain family decades ago, and the debts were paid in batches, etc.

It was a bit inexplicable at the time, but now that I think about it, it was the output of this hidden spiritual field. The purpose should be to make the two acres of middle-grade spiritual fields more concealed.

"Of course I believe in Grandpa Six." Wang Shouzhe waved his hands and smiled, "However, Grandpa Six has to train successors for the cultivation and care of Lingtian as soon as possible. Otherwise, it's not a big deal for your future Lingtai ancestor to farm here every day. .”

"Successors need to be cultivated as soon as possible, but..." Wang Xiaohan frowned slightly, "Now Zong Wei is the only one who has just come of age in the family!"

Wang Zongwei!

With the glory of the Wang family and the strictness towards men, there is such a guy. After being beaten recently, he seems to be still recuperating, although he should be much more honest.

But with Wang Xiaohan's personality, how could he be willing to trust a gambler

Even if it looks like it's useless to reform, the Lingtian in the family is such an important foundation, what if it is sold by that bastard

"That's not in a hurry. Let's choose a few from the younger generation and see who is more talented." Wang Shouzhe said, "You can also try to be brave and honest. Eight years is not enough."

If Wang Zongwei were to manage Lingtian, let alone Wang Xiaohan, even Wang Shouzhe would not agree.

Wang Xiaohan opened his mouth, he wanted to ask what if he couldn't make it to the Lingtai Realm

But after thinking about it, if he can't make it to the Lingtai Realm again, the family may be in jeopardy...

At that time, they can only think of other ways to keep the family and Wang Shouzhe. But many family properties, including this spiritual field, may not be able to be preserved, and it is useless to think about it now.

"Shouzhe, most of the profit from Ziye Heshou's output has been invested in this acre of middle-grade spiritual field." Wang Xiaohan pointed to another acre of middle-grade spiritual field.

The other acre of Lingtian was also divided into multiple grids of different sizes. The smallest grid is only about a dozen square meters, while the largest one occupies a third of the grid, more than two hundred square meters.

Only one elixir tree was planted among them. Look at the huge leaves, which are greedily absorbing the sunlight and the aura in the spiritual field.

As I said before, Wang Shouzhe also had to memorize homework such as the map of fierce beasts and the map of elixir since he was a child. Dang even recognized that it was a nine-leaf spirit ginseng, and seeing its huge leaves, this nine-leaf spirit ginseng was quite old.

An ordinary hundred-year-old ginseng is worth tens of thousands of gold.

And Nine-leaf Spirit Ginseng is a spiritual product among ginseng, even a hundred-year-old Nine-leaf Spirit Ginseng is worth thousands of gold, because it is the material of many third-level elixir.

For example, the healing holy medicine Haohua Pill taken by the ancestor of Longyan needs to use the 200-year-old Nine-leaf Spirit Ginseng, so the price is extremely expensive, but the effect of healing and replenishing physical energy is also very powerful!

Even if an ordinary person's life is dying, a Good Fortune Pill can bring his life back. It's just that the rich among ordinary people can't afford the Creation Pill.

The more Wang Shouzhe looked at it, the more frightened he became. There was something wrong with this nine-leaf ginseng.

"This nine-leaf spiritual ginseng was nearly 500 years old when the ancestor discovered it in the outer domain." Wang Xiaohan explained, "so the ancestor decided to plant it in the spiritual field and raise it."

Five hundred years

Wang Shouzhe was really horrified by the family background, it really is a family treasure. He probably knew that one of the main ingredients of the legendary Tianling Pill is the 500-year-old Nine-leaf Spirit Ginseng.

The value of this thing is probably more than 50,000 dry gold, right? Sure enough, if there is a powerful ancestor in the ancestors, the heritage of the family inheritance is really beyond the comparison of ordinary families.

"It's a pity that the Zhongpin Lingtian has little benefit to it." Wang Xiaohan said helplessly, "It grows very slowly now. It has been growing here for seventy years, and it has not yet undergone transformation. It has turned into five A century-old elixir."

Uh…

It was nearly 500 years seventy years ago, and it has not changed after seventy years, which is slow enough. Wang Shouzhe was also quite speechless. The high-level elixir is of great value, but it is really not something ordinary people can afford.

Seeing that it occupies more than one-third of the land, if these seventy years were all used to plant purple-leaf polygonum, the net profit generated would have to be at least thousands of dry gold, but it has only grown for a short period of time.

The year of the elixir is not as simple as how many years it is planted. Can a low-grade spiritual field and a high-grade spiritual field plant the same elixir? Can they be the same

The so-called hundred-year-old elixir is because the elixir has undergone transformation at that stage, and both the essence of life and the properties of the medicine have advanced to the next stage by leaps and bounds.

It is a bit similar to the meaning of human beings transforming from Qi Refining Realm to Lingtai Realm.

The value is turned up by a large multiple.

It's just that the higher the age of the elixir, the more difficult it is to grow, because its demand for aura and nutrition will become greater. The barren spiritual field is simply unable to fully support its growth.

In some high-quality spiritual fields, the growth rate of the elixir will be much faster. It's just the cultivation of the elixir. In terms of layout and cultivation, it's best not to let it grow too much faster than the normal annual speed.

For example, to enhance the concentration and fertility of spiritual energy, etc., it took fifty years to produce a hundred-year elixir.

This kind of elixir is called fast-growing elixir in the market, and its actual medicinal value and value will be greatly reduced.

In addition to factors such as aura and fertility, the year of real growth is also important for the growth of elixir. Some experienced elixir merchants, alchemist masters, alchemists and other occupations can tell at a glance whether it is a fast-growing elixir.

"According to my estimation, after 70 years of planting, its age should be added by about seven years. But it is coming soon, and I predict that in another 20 years it will transform into a 500-year-old elixir." Wang Xiaohan said Excited, but also regretful, "It's a pity that our family doesn't have a top-grade spiritual field, otherwise it should be able to grow normally."

High-grade Lingtian

Wang Shouzhe glanced at Wang Xiaohan, Sixth Old Master, you dare to think more than I do.

We are so exhausted playing the high-grade spirit field in our family, how dare we think about the top-grade spirit field

"Shouzhe, this thing was originally reserved for you just in case after it matures." Wang Xiaohan said in embarrassment, "and the family has invested too much resources and effort in it, and now it has not transformed. If you sell it, you will lose some money. If the family was not in crisis, I would never sell it in exchange for the Heavenly Spirit Pill. In the end, Grandpa Six will be sorry for you."

"It's really too bad to sell it now." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "However, Grandpa Six, don't use it for the time being. I'll think of a way to solve the Tianling Pill."

"what?"

Wang Xiaohan was shocked, "Shou Zhe, how did you get so much money to buy the Heavenly Spirit Pill?"

It is not easy for a low-ranking family of the ninth rank to use the wealth gradually accumulated over decades to exchange for a Heavenly Spirit Pill.

Families that can achieve this level are mostly able to extend the family for a long time, endlessly.

For casual cultivators, unless they encounter a great opportunity, they will not be able to afford the Heavenly Spirit Pill in their entire life. Moreover, general schools, sects and other forces are also quite scrupulous about casual cultivators without roots and foundations.

Even if the other party's aptitude is very good, far surpassing that of a casual cultivator with monstrous aptitude like Wang Shouzhe, the Academy will carefully consider and investigate, and would rather not have any doubts.

Having no background means that you can make up your background, and some fatal problems may arise in the future. God knows if it is a spy sent by a hostile force? Or they carry too much hatred and other unclear things.

It was also because resources were hard to earn that Wang Xiaohan was so shocked.

"Grandpa Six, use Peiyuan Pill to recuperate your body first, recover quickly and prepare to sprint to the Lingtai Realm." Wang Shouzhe didn't answer directly, but said conservatively, "My side is just to try. If you are lucky, hehe~"

In Wang Shouzhe's view, the fact that the Liu family and the Zhao family are able to have what they are today is the result of usurping the lives of the Wang family's ancestors. Now that they know that they have the fruits of decades of wealth accumulation in their hands.

With his character, how could he not think of a way to give it a go

Even if he lost the fight, Wang Shouzhe was not willing to let them digest the fruits of wealth easily.
