Shennong Sequence

Chapter 124 Plague Banner: Can Brew Plague Disasters

Liu Ming smiled and said, "Pig farming is also a major industry of our garrison. If you know more about it, you will definitely understand it. So I won't keep it to myself. I will tell you directly, Brother Zhao."

Zhao Yun thanked him and said, "Thank you, Brother Liu. Please continue."

Liu Ming continued:

"The breed of pigs must be good. You don't need to raise pigs raised by farmers outside. Simply buy some piglets from the fattening pig farm of our guard station. They will definitely be much healthier!"

"The second thing is the piglet feed. Corn, bean cake, hay, etc. It all depends on how much money you have."

"If the capital is low, you can feed the pigs a little worse and collect more grass in the mountains, and they can be raised. If the capital is high, you can feed the pigs better, and they will be easier to raise."

"Besides that, the biggest problem in pig farming is the health of the pigs!"

"It includes living environment, ventilation conditions, pig manure cleaning, and most importantly: disease prevention!"

"As long as the planning is reasonable, the things ahead won't be a big deal."

"As for the final issue of disease prevention and control, we must focus on the principle that prevention is better than cure."

"It is much better to prevent and treat a disease than to rush to get treatment after you have it."

"So there are specific ways to deal with the issue of disease prevention. You can either learn a variety of methods to eliminate plague and treat diseases for pigs."

"Or we can use the most commonly used magical tool in the breeding process: the Plague-Yin Banner."

"The effect of the Plague Banner is that it can collect, raise, and release plague within a certain range, and can even eventually brew a plague disaster!"

"In addition, the complete version of the Plague-Bearing Banner is still a controlled item, but you can find a way to purchase a Plague-Bearing Banner that can only absorb plague."

"Later, you will also need to learn the art of taming animals, because there will definitely be multiple pigs in a pigpen. If there are too many pigs in each pen, they will fight and so on... There are related art of taming animals to solve these problems."

After Liu Ming talked to Zhao Yun for a long time in this courtyard, Zhao Yun also had a comprehensive understanding of the pig-raising problem in the world of immortal cultivation.

There are also many uses of magic.

Of course, if you can get the Plague Banner, you can save a lot of time in practicing magic.

Therefore, Zhao Yun is now thinking about how to get a plague banner and where to get the true intention of the beast taming technique?

Also, let’s be clear, Zhao Yun has no money!
Of course, it cannot be said that there is no money. After all, there are still more than fifty taels of silver notes that have not been used.

What Zhao Yun really lacks is the resources for cultivation!
As a farmer-cultivator, one can naturally obtain the required resources by planting various spiritual objects.

It just takes time!
Just like the blood wheat cultivated in the blood field, it is one of the resources for cultivation.

The blood-sucking vine that was mainly cultivated in that key space could also produce blood essence resources for him.

In addition, Zhao Yun's secondary cultivation of 'Explosive Star Bamboo', because it grows in the blood field, can produce explosive bamboo joints that can shock and restrain the blood circulation of martial artists;
Thunder apricots produce apricots that increase the power of thunder;
Purple-gold Thunder Bamboo can accumulate thunder and produce thunder beads;
The Ghost Hand Willow can control the soul body, absorb Yin Qi, and produce soul fluid;

The Dragon Wood is a unique tree with dragon blood, which can promote the growth of blood-sucking vines; the branches cut off are Dragon-Subduing Wood, which has a deterrent effect on all beasts; and if fate allows, it can also produce Dragon Fruit to strengthen the body...

Sunflowers and moonflowers, when cultivated, can not only provide lighting, but also record time and produce sun essence and moon essence.

The growth of various spiritual plants can provide resources for Zhao Yun.

But time!

It has been less than ten days since Zhao Yun entered the ranks!

No matter how wonderful the spiritual plant is, if it doesn't have enough time to grow, everything will be in vain.

Of course, it was also because Zhao Yun had great talent and his training and growth were a bit too fast...

Therefore, there is hope for resources, but they are difficult to solve the urgent problem at the moment.

Zhao Yun thought over and over again. He could either slow down the growth of the blood-sucking vine and extract the blood essence for use; or he could only hope for the reward from the imperial edict in order to obtain a huge fortune.

Furthermore, after he successfully obtains an official position, even if he is only a small military farm commander of the ninth rank, he will have the qualifications to enter the sacred mountains that have been sealed off from the era of rich spiritual energy!

This allows them to enter some sacred mountains during their opening process and compete for the various spiritual things contained there.

In addition, you can also go to the Sinongjian in Yanshan County to accept some safe tasks to obtain comprehension resources.

These are all sources of resources, but he was still a little undecided about how to choose.

"Liu Ming promised me that as long as I paid enough money, he could get me a beast-controlling technique from his master. It would cost about five hundred taels of silver. And this is only the internal price. If you were outside, you might not be able to see such an item even if you paid six or seven hundred taels of silver."

"And the cost of purchasing a magical instrument is even greater."

"Magic instruments are made by those who follow the old way, but as the new way becomes more popular, fewer people follow the old way, and the number of magical instruments made has also decreased."

"So the prices of those magical instruments and treasures that don't cost much to use have all increased dramatically... It's a headache."

"We are lacking both magic and magical instruments!"

In addition, even if Zhao Yun could obtain the beast-taming method and the plague banner, if he wanted to truly open a pig farm, he would still need to stock up on various food feeds, breeding pigs, and piglets in advance.

Zhao Yun thought about it and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"It seems that I have to ask Master Sun for help and ask him to find some connections to see how I can get a cheaper, cut-down version of the Plague Banner that has been stripped of its power to cause a plague disaster and only has the ability to absorb the plague."

Afterwards, Zhao Yun put aside all the worries in his mind for the time being, took out the true intentions of the three spells of iron plow opening mountains, thunder, and gathering clouds, injected his mental power into them one by one, and began to study.

Especially the method of using an iron plow to open up mountains. If he studies it twice more, he will have the hope of being promoted again.

By then, this method of using an iron plow to plow mountains can not only be used for farming such as tilling the land, but can also be used as a powerful spell to cast curses with the help of birth data, fur, clothing, breath, used objects, etc.

Therefore, he was also looking forward to the new effects of the magic of 'Iron Plow Opening Mountains' after its transformation in the past few days!
When the three magic techniques in hand are completed,

Zhao Yun then began to condense the last fire rune among earth, water, wind and fire.

"Last night, I have condensed the basic version of the fire rune. "Tonight, I need to use this basic version of the fire rune as a springboard to comprehend the simplified version of the fire rune among the 365 runes given to the farmers by Master Sun."

"Only after I have comprehended this simplified version of the fire rune, can the yellow cloth, with the help of the increase in progress value, give me new insights and lead me to comprehend the true innate residual rune 'fire' in the innate residual array."

Zhao Yun sat at the desk, picked up a pen and began to practice the simplified version of the fire rune on a piece of white paper. With the help of the power of the yellow cloth, he felt the little bit of understanding that flowed out from his sea of ​​consciousness every time he carefully wrote the rune.

Sometimes, he closed his eyes, immersing his mind completely in the world of fire runes, trying to feel the heat and warmth.

As he wrote the fire rune, a ray of red light leaped and danced between the strokes like a lively fire spirit...

Zhao Yun spent nearly half the night, and with the help of the progress value of the yellow cloth, he finally succeeded in comprehending the charm and condensed the 365 simplified fire runes in his sea of ​​consciousness!

At the same time, a progress value was added to the yellow cloth [8th Skill: Heaven-Destroying and Earth-Sinning Formation (Not Yet Entry-Level) (4/366)].

Therefore, the yellow cloth simplified the fire rune and traced it back to its origin, causing new insights to re-enter his mind, and Zhao Yun began to indulge in the new insights.

After a long time, a new innate residual symbol "fire" also condensed in Zhao Yun's sea of ​​consciousness!

Subsequently, the four innate remnant symbols of earth, water, wind and fire united again and gathered in the center of the sea of ​​consciousness.

Moreover, after the earth, water, wind and fire condense together, they emit a wonderful rhythm as they flow, driving the sea of ​​consciousness to evolve.

Zhao Yun felt that his control over his sea of ​​consciousness had increased. It became more stable, and his mental strength increased by one-sixth. Even the power of Taoism above his dantian had been digested by about one thousandth, which increased the magic power in his dantian again!
It is an excellent result.

After that, Zhao Yun sat on the bed, savoring and comprehending the residual charm lingering in his heart after the innate residual symbol "fire" condensed.

After it was completely consolidated, Zhao Yun sorted out all the pens, inks, papers, and inkstones on the table one by one.

Looking out the window at night, the moonlight was falling on the ground like water, still so clear.

"The sun, moon and stars accompany me to sleep, and it's another night of staying up late."

After a slight sigh, Zhao Yun did not go back to bed, but walked out of the room and came to the yard.

He looked at the sunflowers, moon lotus and two kinds of spiritual plants that he had planted this morning.

At this moment, under the shining moonlight, the Moon Lotus sprouted a bunch of tender green curled leaf-shaped spiritual buds from the soil.

There was also a faint silver light flickering between the tips of the spiritual buds. They were sucking in the bright moonlight and condensing the moon dew for their initial growth.

In addition, during the budding process of the Yuehua lotus, it cannot be directly immersed in water. It is necessary to wait until the lotus leaves grow a little bigger before it can be transplanted into a water tank for cultivation.

Zhao Yun looked at the sunflower seeds in another pot. He expected that tomorrow morning, when the sun rises, new shoots would emerge from the soil and begin to grow.

After that, he mobilized the earth's energy and carefully nourished the two spiritual plants.

Zhao Yun returned to the house, took out two adder eggs, and while nurturing them with his magic power, he also used the psychic seal to connect to the spiritual fluctuations in them, listening to the faint heartbeat, listening to the rhythm of life... and then allowing the snake spirit in the eggs to become familiar with his breath.

Although Zhao Yun ate the parents of the earth viper, it was a bit unkind.

But if the little snakes hatched from these two snake eggs are really not close to him, then they can only follow in the footsteps of their parents...

Therefore, Zhao Yun used the psychic seal to communicate with the spirits in the snake eggs at this moment in order to redeem and cultivate the little snakes, so that they would be closer to himself after they hatched, and avoid the two little snakes from being killed as soon as they were born.

In addition, Zhao Yun has another method, which he learned from Master Sun, but in the past two days, he has not yet put it into practice!

That is the method of "illusion" in the earth vein formation!

"Although I have selected some techniques that I feel will be useful to me."

"But in just a few days, I have learned so many techniques that I am almost unable to practice them all..."

"No wonder people often say that the key to a technique is refinement, not quantity."

As long as Zhao Yun learns the true meaning of some magic techniques once, he will be able to use the magic techniques contained therein!

This is proof of Zhao Yun's strong talent.

However, there is a world of difference between truly mastering a technique and just getting started with it.

For example: When Zhao Yun’s archery skills reach the level of proficiency, he already has the ability to witness such mental attacks, while beginners can only perform simple operations such as pulling the bowstring.

The difference between the two is so huge that they cannot be compared at all...

Therefore, he has learned many techniques, which can only be called extensive. Just like a newbie on the Internet, he knows a little bit about something, but when he studies it in depth, he becomes a Muggle.

"When I learn more magic later, I need to combine it with the existing magic to form a system, and then advance in a systematic way. I can't do it haphazardly."

Zhao Yun thought for a moment, then gradually felt sleepy, so he gave up thinking and fell asleep peacefully.

The next morning,
The gentle sun, which removed the scorching heat in the bleak autumn wind, shone through the window and fell on Zhao Yun's face like broken gold.

The bright light shone through Zhao Yun's eyelids, waking him up from his sleep even though he stayed up late every day.

Zhao Yun rubbed his sleepy eyelids, yawned, and stood up to break away from the seal of the sunlight and the quilt.

“Sleeping in again.

It’s better to be a manager. You don’t have to get up earlier than the chickens, but you have to sleep later than the dogs every day.”

When Zhao Yun was about to walk to the kitchen to find food, he was stopped by Liu Ming, who also got up late in the next courtyard.

"Brother Zhao! I drank too much last night and forgot to ask you something."

"Whether it's about refining pills, taming beasts, refining equipment, planting, etc., they are all about the general direction."

"In my farming family alone, there are three different major factions and many smaller factions. And within the factions, there are many branches of various farming techniques."

"Therefore, the methods of taming beasts are also ever-changing and varied, as dazzling as the bright stars. I wonder which type of method of taming beasts you like?"
