Chapter 1641 Ode to Joy 3: Ye Zhenzhen

"If we place the spiritual vein on the mountain peak, can we plant the entire mountain with spiritual purple alfalfa? Or even cultivate more spiritual fields?" Song Xihu said.

“You mean…” Jiang Chen understood what Song Xihu meant.

If the spiritual veins are placed on the mountain, the entire mountain can be cultivated into terraced fields.

If the spiritual fields are terraced, more spiritual fields can be cultivated. Even if spiritual fields cannot be cultivated, a large quantity of spiritual alfalfa can be grown.

"Mm." Song Xihu nodded.

“I think if we have enough Spirit Purple Alfalfa seeds, we can plant them in the Secret Realm,” Lin Shiyin said.

"Planted in a secret realm?" Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback.

"By the way, although we don't know the situation in the secret realms, they must have plenty of spiritual energy. If we find a suitable place to plant Spirit Purple Alfalfa in the secret realms, we can buy it next time we go there," Lin Shiyin said.

"That's a good suggestion," Jiang Chen nodded.

Spirit Purple Alfalfa is a spiritual plant, so it can be planted for several years without any problems.

Not only alfalfa, but also other spiritual plants and medicinal seeds can be planted.

Isn't this a form of sustainable development for the hidden realm?

"How is the cultivation of the Spiritual Essence going?" Jiang Chen continued to ask.

Vegetables from the First World include spinach, celery, green peppers, bamboo shoots, cauliflower, lettuce, celery, leeks, peas, snow peas, as well as scallions, shepherd's purse, and toon sprouts. In Jiang Chen's view, all of these can be cultivated into agile plants.

"Because they mature at different times, they are still being cultivated," Lin Shiyin replied.

After cultivating, Lin Shiyin unintentionally discovered her interest in planting, so Jiang Chen put her in charge of the spirit fields, and Song Xihu assisted Lin Shiyin in managing them. Of course, they are also currently learning the first-tier spirit plant master's inheritance.

"That's good." Jiang Chen nodded, then said, "Let's go check on the farm."

In the Mulan Hunting Grounds, there is a breeding farm unique to the Jiang family.

This farm mainly raises ducks, cattle, geese, and sheep.

In the past few months, the Mulan Hunting Ground Breeding Farm has raised 100,000 chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep each. However, even so, this amount of meat is not enough for Jiang's army.

"It seems that it's not easy to transform these poultry into spirit birds." Jiang Chen didn't know how to transform poultry into spirit birds, so when he built the breeding farm, he installed a first-grade low-level spirit vein in the farm.

In the Mulan Hunting Grounds, many wild beasts have already transformed into ferocious beasts, so Jiang Chen felt that the spiritual energy generated by the spiritual veins was useful for nourishment.

“My lord, we have now developed the Spirit Purple Alfalfa. Next, we can feed them Spirit Purple Alfalfa. Perhaps after feeding them Spirit Purple Alfalfa, these poultry can be further transformed into spirit birds,” Lin Shiyin said.

“Okay, but the poultry fed with the Spirit Purple Alfalfa should start from a young age, and the water for feeding them should also be taken from the Spirit Fish Pond. Hmm, those ducks can also be raised directly in the Spirit Fish Pond,” Jiang Chen said after thinking for a moment.

Among pigs, chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep, chickens and ducks have the shortest breeding cycle.

If poultry can be transformed into spirit birds, chickens and ducks are the easiest to transform.

“I’ve already arranged for some ducks and geese to be raised in the spirit fish pond, but it might take until the next generation to transform them into spirit ducks and spirit geese,” Lin Shiyin said.

"Okay, no rush." ​​Jiang Chen nodded.

Ducks and geese take four to five months to lay eggs.

While conducting experiments at the Mulan Hunting Grounds, they also conducted experiments in other worlds.

Jiang Chen understood that the transformation of poultry into intelligent birds required a process of generation after generation.

Of course, after arriving in the Fourth World, Jiang Chen will also go to places like the Dou Qi Continent and the Tiannan Continent to get some spirit birds. As for why not spirit beasts? That's because the Mulan Hunting Grounds are not large and don't have enough spiritual energy, so it's difficult to raise spirit beasts.

This also means that seizing the spiritual vein will be the most important task for the Jiang family's future development.

"By the way, we can try feeding them low-grade spirit rice," Jiang Chen said.

After leaving the Fourth World, there were about 600,000 catties of low-grade spiritual rice left. During this period, 1.2 million catties of low-grade spiritual rice had been stockpiled, and 2 million catties of various dried spiritual fish had been stockpiled.

Currently, the Baiyu Island breeding base in the Second World has 5,000 mu of low-grade spirit fields. A single trip to the Second World can produce 250,000 jin of low-grade spirit rice.

The Third World breeding bases are the White Camel Mountain Manor Breeding Base (80 mu of low-grade spirit fields) and the Bianjing City Breeding Base (1,000 mu of low-grade spirit fields). A trip to the Third World can produce approximately 162,000 jin of low-grade spirit rice.

The Fourth World Breeding Base No. 1 has 3,000 mu of low-grade spirit fields, and Breeding Base No. 2 has 1,700 mu of low-grade spirit fields. One trip to the Fourth World can produce 2,585,000 jin of low-grade spirit rice.

The time flow in the Spirit Realm is twice that of the First World. That is, one year in the First World is equivalent to two years in the Spirit Realm. The Dana Grain Base has 3400 mu of low-grade spirit fields, with an annual output of 680,000 jin of low-grade spirit rice.

In the first world, one can visit the second world four times in a year, obtaining one million catties of low-grade spirit rice. Visiting the third world approximately twice yields 324,000 catties of low-grade spirit rice. In contrast, the Spirit Realm produces only 1.36 million catties of low-grade spirit rice in about two years.

In addition, there were 2,585,000 catties of low-grade spiritual rice from the Fourth World.

The total was 5,269,000 jin.

Currently, the Mulan Hunting Ground breeding base has 2,000 mu of low-grade spirit fields. With the shuttle gate fusion talisman, the Mulan Hunting Ground will travel to and from various worlds with the Daming Palace. In other words, the Mulan Hunting Ground will experience 77 months in the first world, producing 2.5 million jin of low-grade spirit rice.

This means that in one year in the First World, plus the time spent traveling to other worlds, without increasing the number of low-grade spirit fields or planting other spirit plants, there would be 7,769,000 catties of low-grade spirit rice.

Of course, this is also the output of seventy-seven months.

On average, 100,000 catties of low-grade spiritual rice are produced each month.

Currently, the Jiang family has a total of 1,221 members traveling between various worlds, plus 1,000 from the Daming Palace. Even if each person consumes one jin of low-grade spiritual rice per day, that's still 2,221 jin per day. In a month of thirty days, that's 66,630 jin.

This means that if all of these inferior spirit rice plants are grown in the inferior spirit rice category, only 33,370 catties will remain each month.

Currently, there are 10,000 Star Riders and 12,000 Eagle Armor Guards. If low-grade spirit rice is provided, it means that each person will only get about one pound per month at most.

The Jiang family will continue to grow, but there is still a shortage of low-grade spirit rice.

"Shiyin, next, arrange for people to level the nearby woods. I'm going to continue setting up the spirit fields," Jiang Chen said to Lin Shiyin.

The Mulan Hunting Grounds have two thousand meters of low-grade spiritual fields and two thousand meters of spiritual fish ponds.

The low-grade spirit fields and spirit fish ponds are located in two different places.

Jiang Chen plans to group the low-grade and mid-grade spirit fields together, along with the spirit fish ponds, for easier management.

One advanced low-grade spirit field transformation map can transform 1,000 mu of low-grade spirit fields. Jiang Chen currently has 20 advanced low-grade spirit field transformation maps, which means he can transform them into 20,000 mu of low-grade spirit fields.

Only with these low-grade spirit fields can the Jiang family cultivate more spirit plants.

"Okay." Lin Shiyin nodded.

"What other difficulties are there in managing these low-grade spirit fields?" Jiang Chen asked.

“Now that we have the inheritance of the Spirit Plant Master, we can abandon those modern tools,” Lin Shiyin said from the side.

While modern tools are convenient, they are not suitable for managing spirit fields and spirit fish ponds, especially since the exhaust fumes they emit can also affect the spiritual energy.

“Hmm.” Jiang Chen understood Lin Shiyin’s meaning. However, with the inheritance of the Spirit Plant Master, he would have done so even if Lin Shiyin hadn’t said so. After all, the spiritual veins were hard to come by, and he didn’t want the spiritual energy of the Mulan Hunting Ground to be destroyed by modern tools.

Even later, the Star Cavalry and Eagle Guards in the Jiang family army would no longer need to be stationed at the Mulan Hunting Grounds.

After all, the Mulan Hunting Grounds are a hunting ground exclusively belonging to the Jiang family.

The Star Riders and Eagle Armor Guards of the Jiang family can only improve their strength through actual combat, so they probably won't be taken back to the First World, Second World, and Third World in the future.

Of course, we'll have to see how things go later.

As for the Mulan Hunting Grounds, we'll bring some people over there later.

In the First World, the area where the Mulan Hunting Grounds are located has a population of 400,000 to 500,000, but the spiritual energy of the Mulan Hunting Grounds will become increasingly abundant in the future, and the population must be controlled within 50,000.

"From now on, the Temple Technology will only be used for development in the First World." As his cultivation level increases, the technology within the Temple Technology is becoming increasingly distant from what Jiang Chen desires. For the Jiang family, the technology within the Temple Technology is at most something they can consider integrating into the Hundred Arts of Cultivators (covering core skills such as alchemy, weapon crafting, talisman making, and formation, and extending to auxiliary fields such as spiritual plants, beast taming, feng shui, and medicine and poison).

"It's getting late, let's go back."

After leaving the Mulan Hunting Grounds, Jiang Chen practiced the Carefree Heavenly Technique with the women at the Daming Palace.

……

New York, USA.

"It's 5 p.m. New York time now."

"Looks like I've come at the right time." Jiang Chen flew to New York after leaving Shanghai.

For Jiang Chen, flying from Shanghai to New York on a sword wouldn't take too long.

The reason Jiang Chen flew to New York at this time was naturally to meet with Chen Shan before the Baisai Group went public, to discuss the listing.

"I wonder if Chen Shan has arrived yet."

The place wasn't far from where Jiang Chen had arranged to meet Chen Shan, so he didn't take a taxi.

Jiang Chen didn't expect that he would run into Ye Zhenzhen less than ten minutes after he started walking.

The system notification sounded the moment Ye Zhenzhen was seen.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received ten Breaking Crossbows.]

"Ten Qi-Breaking Crossbows?"

"This is the fourteenth time I've checked in."

According to the system introduction, the Breaking-Armor Crossbow, like the Breaking-King Crossbow, Breaking-Martial Crossbow, and Breaking-God Crossbow, is a weapon specifically designed to deal with martial artists. It not only has the effect of penetrating armor but can also pierce through the body of a martial artist. The difference is that the Breaking-Armor Crossbow is a crossbow specifically prepared for martial artists at the Martial Emperor realm. When activated, it requires at least four martial arts masters at the Martial King realm to charge up their energy and channel their inner force before they can nock the arrow and release it.

Like the King-Breaking Crossbow, God-Breaking Crossbow, and Martial-Breaking Crossbow, the reason why the Gang-Breaking Crossbow can deal with martial artists at the Martial Emperor realm is that internal force, formation, and machinery gradually approach perfection under the operation of a special device. The internal force originally transmitted to the Gang-Breaking Crossbow is amplified through the formation and machinery to achieve the power to penetrate martial artists at the Martial Emperor realm!

A single Crossbow can kill a martial artist in the early stage of the Martial Emperor realm!
Ten Qi-Piercing Crossbows—even the strongest Martial Emperor would perish on the spot if caught off guard!
"Ten Po Gang Crossbows are matched with one thousand Po Gang Crossbow bolts."

"Unfortunately, the Broken Crossbow bolts cannot be made before the manufacturing process is obtained."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Ye Zhenzhen is a character in Ode to Joy 3, 4, and 5.

In the drama, she is an associate researcher at the Center for Biological Sciences. Although not a native of Shanghai, her parents are very wealthy. They sent her abroad to study and planned for her to settle in Shanghai as an overseas talent, even buying her a house and a car. Ye Zhenzhen has a particularly peaceful, humble, and easy-going personality. She also adheres to the philosophy of "doing a good deed every day." Despite her excellent background, she is never arrogant or haughty; on the contrary, she is easy to get along with and happy to help others.

"The plot of Ode to Joy 3 begins in 22."

"There are still five years before the story begins."

"Does this mean Ye Zhenzhen just started studying in the United States?"

"Ye Zhenzhen was twenty-nine years old when the story began."

"So Ye Zhenzhen is only twenty-four years old now."

Ye Zhenzhen, a character in the drama, comes from a wealthy family and was cherished by her parents from a young age. She studied abroad, majoring in life sciences, and became an outstanding scientist after returning to China.

After returning to China, Ye Zhenzhen lived in apartment 2203 of "Ode to Joy". She became best friends with Fang Zhiheng, Zhu Zhe, He Minhong and Yu Chuhui, who also lived on the 22nd floor. She was generous and often treated everyone to food.

Ye Zhenzhen and David's relationship gradually developed from initial flirtation to genuine love. For Ye Zhenzhen's sake, he returned to China to be by her side as a friend. Initially, Ye Zhenzhen had no romantic feelings for David, treating him purely as a friend. Later, although Ye Zhenzhen agreed to be with David, she had no intention of marrying him.

David's family background is complicated, and his mother is extremely controlling, which poses a significant obstacle to their relationship. David's mother approves of David dating Ye Zhenzhen, but only on the condition that the Ye family can support her company's development. Therefore, when David first started dating Ye Zhenzhen, she went to Ye Zhenzhen's company to arrange a dinner party, waiting for Ye Zhenzhen to attend. Ye Zhenzhen's parents also didn't want to form a marriage alliance with a family that was already trying to take advantage of them before the marriage was even finalized.

David's mother's release from prison had an even greater impact on their relationship. Ye Zhenzhen understood that no matter what she did, she couldn't change David's attitude towards his family. After a series of conflicts and disagreements, Ye Zhenzhen finally decided to let go and end her relationship with David.

After the breakup, Ye Zhenzhen shifted her focus to scientific research, continuing as an associate researcher at the Center for Biological Sciences. Although the drama mentions that her experimental results were damaged due to a colleague's jealousy, the ending emphasizes that she returned to her career with resilience and did not get involved in any more complicated romantic entanglements.

"Ye Zhenzhen is a second-generation mine owner who owns two mines."

"In the drama, she is a real socialite."

"She's so young and beautiful now, I wish I could win her over..."

Jiang Chen's eyes flickered.

Ye Zhenzhen will become a PhD in the future.

A doctoral student and a graduate student are different.

"I wonder if Ye Zhenzhen is in New York now, at Columbia University or New York University?"

"It seems we'll have to investigate further if we want to find Ye Zhenzhen in the future..."

"However, the plot is still far from starting, so Ye Zhenzhen isn't in a hurry..."

Various thoughts flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

However, in that instant, Ye Zhenzhen had already disappeared from Jiang Chen's sight.

Jiang Chen did not feel any regret about this.

For him now, simply seeing Ye Zhenzhen and signing in is already a good thing, especially since he signed in with the Qi-Breaking Crossbow. Although the Qi-Breaking Crossbow can only deal with Martial Emperors, it doesn't mean it's harmless to Martial Gods.

Jiang Chen didn't believe that a formation of hundreds of crossbow bolts could harm a Martial God Realm warrior.

If all the Star Riders break through to the Martial King realm, and are equipped with two thousand Qi-breaking crossbows, along with talismans and other methods, they might be able to kill a Martial God realm early stage expert.

Of course, it's too early to say these things now.

Even with the manufacturing process, collecting materials and forging the Breaking Crossbow would not be possible in a short time.

A moment later, Jiang Chen arrived in front of a restaurant.

"Mr. Jiang."

Chen Shan was waiting at the door when she saw Jiang Chen and quickly walked over.

"Attorney Chen, am I not late?" Jiang Chen walked over.

At this moment, Chen Shan was dressed in professional attire, which gave her a unique charm in this foreign land.

"President Jiang, I just arrived too." Chen Shan said with a smile, "President Jiang, I've already booked a private room, let's go in now."

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded.

The restaurant Chen Shan booked was Le Pavillon, a French restaurant located in One Vanderbilt, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Chrysler Building and surrounded by greenery.

Jiang Chen looked around and thought the French restaurant looked good.

Led by the waiter, Jiang Chen followed Chen Shan into a private room.

"Mr. Jiang, what would you like to eat?" Chen Shan picked up the menu and handed it to Jiang Chen.

"Then I won't be polite." Jiang Chen picked up the menu and started ordering.

Fifteen minutes later, the food and drinks were served.

The waiter poured a glass of wine for Jiang Chen and Chen Shan and then left the private room.

"Mr. Jiang, let me toast you." Chen Shan said, picking up her glass and addressing Jiang Chen.

"Okay." Jiang Chen smiled, picked up his wine glass, and clinked it with Chen Shan's.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

"President Jiang, Baisai Group..." Chen Shan began to talk about Baisai Group's listing.

Jiang Chen listened to Chen Shan's words and asked questions from time to time.

Tomorrow is the day Baisai Group goes public. Everything has been arranged. Jiang Chen and Chen Shan are mainly talking about things after the listing.

Baisai Group is listed in the United States, so it involves some American capital. That's basically what Chen Shan is talking about now.

After discussing business, Jiang Chen changed the subject and chatted with Chen Shan about some interesting things.

Jiang Chen's wit and humor quickly livened up the atmosphere.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen and Chen Shan walked out of Le Pavillon.

"Attorney Chen, where do you live?" Jiang Chen asked Chen Shan.
