Everything is ready, and it is finally time to plant the seeds.
Jiang Qiong carefully took out the seeds of the Shaling Fruit from the ancient book. The seeds were black in color, had strange textures on the surface, and emitted a faint light.
He scattered the seeds evenly on the ridges of the spiritual field and then gently covered them with a thin layer of soil.
After the seeds are planted, they need to be nourished. Jiang Qiong remembered a magic technique recorded in ancient books that can make it rain by controlling the weather.
After discussing with Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana, he decided to try this spiritual technique. The three of them stood beside the spiritual field, closed their eyes and began to mobilize the spiritual power in their bodies.
Jiang Qiong controlled the core part of the spiritual technique. He gathered the spiritual power in his hands to form a huge spiritual power ball.
Nan Fengxue used ice spiritual power to condense the surrounding water vapor into small water droplets, which were continuously integrated into the spiritual power ball.
Lang Nana's fire spiritual power assisted in controlling the temperature and humidity of the spiritual power ball to keep it stable.
As the three people continued to inject spiritual power, dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky.
The dark clouds grew thicker and darker, looming over the spiritual field.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by raindrops as big as beans falling.
The rain nourishes the spiritual field, and the seeds of the sand spirit fruit seem to begin to stir under the watering of the rain.
In the following days, Jiang Qiong and others would come to the spiritual field every day to observe the growth of the sand spirit fruit.
They use their spiritual power to repel insects and apply fertilizer to the spiritual fields to ensure that the spiritual plants can grow healthily.
The residents of the tribe also paid special attention to the spiritual fields. They took the initiative to help take care of the spiritual plants, and everyone's face was full of anticipation.
After a period of careful care, the seeds of the Shaling Fruit finally broke through the soil, and the tender green seedlings thrived in the sun.
Looking at these seedlings, Jiang Qiong and others felt filled with a sense of accomplishment.
They know that this is just the beginning and there will be more challenges waiting for them in the future, but they believe that as long as they work together, they will be able to make the sand spirit fruit blossom and bear fruit in this desert, bringing new vitality and hope to the tribe.
As time went by, the seedlings of the Shaling Fruit gradually grew bigger and developed lush branches and leaves.
Jiang Qiong and others discovered that these spiritual plants had an increasing demand for spiritual power.
Therefore, they decided to set up a spiritual power gathering array around the spiritual field to enhance the concentration of spiritual power in the spiritual field.
Relying on his own research on battle formations, Jiang Qiong placed spiritual power crystals in the four corners of the spiritual field.
These crystals can absorb the spiritual energy around them and gather it into the spiritual field.
Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana used their respective spiritual powers to help Jiang Qiong activate the magic circle.
For a moment, the spiritual power around the spiritual field surged, forming a powerful spiritual power vortex.
Under the nourishment of spiritual power, the growth rate of the sand spirit fruit increased significantly. Not long after, small fruits grew on the spiritual plant.
The fruits are green at first, and gradually turn golden yellow over time.
The surface of the fruit sparkles with crystal light, as if it contains endless energy.
However, just as the sand spirit fruit was about to mature, a sudden sandstorm hit the tribe.
The strong wind swept in with the yellow sand all over the sky, and the whole world seemed to be submerged in the yellow sand.
The spiritual fields are also facing a huge threat, as the power of the sandstorm has the potential to uproot the spiritual plants.
After Jiang Qiong and others learned the news, they immediately rushed to Lingtian.
They saw the sand spirit fruits in the spiritual field shaking in the strong wind and were extremely anxious.
Jiang Qiong quickly used his spiritual power to form a spiritual barrier around the spiritual field, trying to block the invasion of the sandstorm.
Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana also joined in, and the spiritual powers of the three intertwined to form a solid line of defense.
The residents of the tribe also came and formed a circle with their bodies to add protection to the spiritual field. With the joint efforts of everyone, the sandstorm finally receded.
Although the spiritual field was affected to some extent, the sand spirit fruit was not seriously damaged.
After this crisis, Jiang Qiong and others took even more care to protect the Sha Ling Fruit.
Finally, on a sunny day, the shaling fruit was ripe.
Golden fruits hang on the branches, exuding an enticing fragrance.
The tribal residents cheered and came to the spiritual field to witness this exciting moment.
Jiang Qiong and others picked the first batch of ripe Shaling fruits and distributed them to the residents of the tribe.
The residents tasted the sweet fruits with happy smiles on their faces.
These Shaling fruits not only tasted delicious, but also made them feel powerful spiritual power and made their bodies healthier.
Since then, indigenous tribes have begun to cultivate saring fruit on a large scale.
Jiang Qiong and others passed on their planting experience to the tribal residents without reservation, helping them to establish a complete spiritual plant planting system.
With the bumper harvest of shaling fruit, the tribe's life gradually became prosperous and they no longer worried about food and water.
With each bumper harvest of the sand spirit fruit, the tribe’s warehouses were filled with more and more spirit fruits.
These spiritual fruits are not only the hope for the tribe’s survival, but also precious resources with huge value.
After discussing with the elders of the tribe, Jiang Qiong decided to take a batch of the fruits to the nearby desert market to sell while the quality of the Shaling Fruit was at its best, in exchange for supplies needed by the tribe and to further improve the lives of the tribe.
Early in the morning on the day of departure, as soon as the sun shone on the sand dunes of the desert, the whole tribe became bustling.
The tribal residents were busy packing the carefully selected shaling fruits and putting them into special containers to ensure that the fruits would not be damaged during the long journey.
Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana also got up early to help the residents make the final preparations.
Their faces were filled with anticipation and their eyes were sparkling with longing for the future.
A mighty team was finally formed. In addition to Jiang Qiong and the other two, the tribe selected some strong and experienced tribesmen to accompany them. They were responsible for carrying the spiritual fruits and protecting the safety of the team.
The group rode on sturdy sand lizards, carrying bags full of sand spirit fruits, and slowly left the tribe. The team meandered forward in the desert, and the dust raised formed a golden mist under the sunlight, like a long golden dragon shuttling through the desert.
After several days of arduous journey, they finally arrived at the desert bazaar. From a distance, the bazaar was bustling with activity.
Huge tents are scattered around in an orderly manner, decorated with colorful fabrics that flutter gently in the breeze.
Various flags fluttered in the wind, with different patterns painted on them, representing various businesses and forces.
The crowd surged like a tide, with people from different tribes and races walking among them. Their clothing styles were different, some were brightly colored, some were simple and heavy, and everyone's face had an expression of excitement, expectation, or shrewdness.
The air is filled with all kinds of strange smells, including the rich fragrance of spices, the tempting aroma of food, and the unique smell of desert sand.
The sounds of hawking and bargaining interweave together to form a unique market symphony.
The roadsides were lined with a dazzling array of goods, including exquisite weapons, gorgeous jewelry, mysterious spell scrolls, and all kinds of rare treasures, which were dazzling.
Jiang Qiong and others led the sand lizard beast and walked into the market carefully. Their arrival attracted a lot of people's attention. After all, a group of unfamiliar faces with a large amount of unknown goods always aroused people's curiosity.
The team stopped at an open space in the center of the market, which was a specially designated trading area.
Everyone quickly took the Sha Ling fruits out of their bags and placed them neatly on the stalls.
The golden-yellow Shaling Fruit sparkled attractively in the sun, instantly attracting the attention of many vendors and customers.
Soon, the stall was crowded with people, who cast curious glances at the fruit. Some picked up the fruit and examined it carefully, while others came closer to smell the alluring aroma.
A tall merchant in a black robe spoke first: "Your fruit looks new. I have never seen it in the market. What's so special about it?"
Jiang Qiong stepped forward with a smile and patiently introduced: "My dear brother, this Sand Spirit Fruit is not an ordinary fruit.
It grows deep in the desert, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It not only tastes delicious, but also contains powerful spiritual power.
After consumption, it can not only replenish physical strength, but also assist in cultivation, which is of great benefit to the body."
As he spoke, he picked up a Sha Ling fruit and gently broke it open. The flesh was tender and juicy, and it gave off an even richer aroma, attracting admiration from the people around him.
After listening to Jiang Qiong's introduction, everyone showed surprised expressions.
Some people began to discuss in a low voice, some looked skeptical, while others showed great interest.
At this time, a lady who looked like a noblewoman wearing gorgeous clothes and jewels on her head came forward. She stretched out her slender fingers, gently picked up a sand spirit fruit, and after carefully observing it, she said:
"That sounds good, but words are not enough. How can I know if what you said is true?"
Seeing this, Lang Nana said quickly, "Madam, you might as well try it and experience the magic of this Shaling Fruit for yourself. If you are not satisfied, we will not charge you a penny."
The lady hesitated for a moment, put the sand spirit fruit into her mouth and took a light bite.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up and a look of surprise appeared on her face: "This taste is really delicious! Moreover, I seem to really feel a warm current surging in my body, and my spiritual power has also increased a little."
When the people around saw the lady's reaction, they were all tempted and started asking about the price.
Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana looked at each other and understood what was going on.
Based on their previous knowledge of market prices, they gave a reasonable price.
However, as soon as this price was announced, it caused an uproar.
Some people felt that the price was too high and began to bargain with Jiang Qiong and others.
Jiang Qiong patiently communicated with them, explaining the preciousness of the Shaling fruit and the difficulty of the planting process.
After some intense bargaining, the two sides finally reached some deals.
As time went by, more and more people knew about the Shaling Fruit sold by Jiang Qiong and his colleagues.
There was a constant stream of customers coming to the stall, with one transaction after another.
Jiang Qiong and others were extremely busy, having to deal with customers' inquiries and bargaining while also counting goods and collecting money.
The tribesmen also helped. Although they were not very good at dealing with outsiders, they played an important role in transporting goods and maintaining order.
During the transaction, Jiang Qiong noticed an old man in a gray robe. He was standing quietly behind the crowd, observing everything silently.
The old man's eyes were deep and calm, as if he knew everything.
Jiang Qiong's heart moved, and he felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person.
When there was a little free time for the transaction, he took the initiative to walk up to the old man and said respectfully: "Old man, you seem to be very interested in our Sand Spirit Fruit. I wonder what you think?"
The old man smiled and said:
"Young man, this Sand Spirit Fruit is indeed a rare treasure. I have been in this desert market for many years and have seen countless rare treasures, but spiritual fruits of this quality are rare. You must have put a lot of thought into it to be able to grow it successfully."
Jiang Qiong was secretly impressed by the old man's words and said quickly, "You have a keen eye. Our tribe has put a lot of effort into growing these sand spirit fruits. Now we bring them to the market, hoping to share this achievement with everyone and exchange them for some supplies needed by the tribe."
The old man nodded and said, "I believe in your sincerity. However, this market is full of good and bad people, so you must be careful. Some people may do anything to gain benefits."
Jiang Qiong's heart trembled, and he quickly thanked the old man: "Thank you for your reminder, we will be more careful. I wonder if you are interested in buying some sand spirit fruit?"
The old man shook his head and said, "I don't have much demand for this Sand Spirit Fruit, but I can introduce you to some reliable merchants. They have a good reputation in this market, and you can save a lot of trouble by trading with them."
Jiang Qiong was overjoyed and quickly thanked the old man for his help. With the old man's introduction, Jiang Qiong and others got to know several powerful and reputable merchants.
The transactions with these merchants went very smoothly. Not only did they purchase a large number of Shaling Fruit at reasonable prices, they also provided Jiang Qiong and others with some material information that the tribe urgently needed, such as high-quality water purification equipment and sturdy protective materials.
As the sun gradually set, the market was still crowded with people. Jiang Qiong and others had sold most of the sand spirit fruits they brought, earning them a bag full of spirit stones and precious transaction vouchers.
After they agreed on follow-up cooperation matters with the new merchants they had met, they began to pack up their stalls and prepare to return to the tribe.
On the way out of the market, Jiang Qiong and others were in particularly good spirits.
This trip to the market not only allowed them to successfully sell the Shaling Fruit in exchange for generous returns, but also allowed them to make many useful connections, laying a good foundation for the future development of the tribe.
They rode on the sand lizard beasts, carrying a lot of harvest, and set out again on the journey back to the tribe. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, stretching their shadows long, like a magnificent painting. (End of this chapter)
