Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 56 Falling Snow
In Jiuchong Mountain.

The "eyes" of the chief tree man are always staring at the sky, through the thick clouds, as if waiting for the curtain to open.

Tree people rarely communicate.

This made Old Master Qi very uncomfortable. Although he didn't want to help Chen Jing get information, after all, the two were enemies, but the depressing atmosphere still made him want to say something.

This time, he mustered up his courage and came before the tree leader, saying that his sword was thirsty and he wanted to know when to go.

The chief tree man was very patient. He lowered his already yellow branches and leaves to comfort Old Master Qi, saying, "The city is the most solid place. With our current strength, we cannot break into it."

"How long do we have to wait?"

"Wait until it snows, Xiao Qi, do you still remember the snow in winter?"

"remember."

Old Master Qi dodged the branch that was touching his head and said, "When it snows in winter, you don't have to do anything. Just wait until winter is over."

"Hahaha." The chief tree man laughed and said, "Yes, in winter, there is no need to farm, and it is a rare leisure time. I still remember that my mother, father, younger brother and sister and I gathered in front of the charcoal brazier to keep warm. My father took out some dry food, put it on the firewood to heat it up, and shared it. The pancakes were soft and sticky on the inside, and crispy on the outside. They were delicious."

Suddenly, a sigh came from the other end, saying: "When I spend the winter, I love drinking. After drinking, I go to bed with my wife. I am very happy."

"Hahaha, I feel the same way. My first and second children were conceived this way." Another tree man who had been silent for a long time slowly shook his body.

Old Master Qi watched everyone open up and talk, and the depression in his heart caused by the environment was relieved a lot. Although they were just some ordinary people's gossip, at this time it was even better than the opera's ditty and he listened with gusto.

He asked, “What happened next?”

"Later..."

The chief tree man's voice deepened, and he said, "The harvests were very poor in those years, and we were unable to borrow grain. There was not enough food for the winter, so my father went to the mountains to hunt deer... and broke his leg."

"...Uh." Old Master Qi was suddenly embarrassed.

"My wife also starved to death in a winter. I didn't listen to her and lent food to the tribe. Haha." The tree man who had mentioned earlier that he had drunk wine with his wife in the winter, now talked about this ending.

"The eldest and second children are sick and it's hard to cure them."

Difficult to cure means it cannot be cured.

In ordinary families, if a child is sick, it is actually the same as death. Send him to the doctor? Under what conditions can you dare to send him to the doctor? The medical expenses are a burden. It is really more cost-effective to give birth to a new child than to treat one.

If you can resist, resist. If you can’t, forget it. With so many babies born, there will always be ones that can survive.

Old Master Qi gradually became afraid to say a word.

He was old, but he had never cared about what kind of life these mortals in front of him lived.

For him, winter means he can’t farm, family development slows down, and he has more free time.

But for mortals.

Every winter is a time of tribulation.

Every day before winter is a preparation for winter. If the preparation is not adequate, it means death will befall family members.

"Wait for the snow..."

When Old Master Qi thought of what the tree man leader had said, a chill rose in his heart.

The capital of Anning Prefecture.

It has survived one disaster and one catastrophe after another.

Could it be that I am really going to fall into the hands of a group of mortals?
……

"It's getting colder and colder. I think it will snow in the next few days. E-mail me, how is the debugging going?"

"soon!"

"it is good."

Chen Jing urged, looking at the sky.

During this period, a number of small cultivation families in the surrounding area were destroyed. After the death of the old man of the Yang family, the Yang family was also destroyed. However, some of the direct descendants of the Yang family escaped and went to the Chen family for protection, and obtained a small piece of land in Hualian Lake.

This is a favor in exchange for the Yang family's third-level red glass sword.

In addition, many families whose foundations were taken away chose to seek refuge with the Chen family, taking their only treasures with them, and the Chen family took them in one by one.

The situation of the entire outer city cultivation world gradually became clear in the chaos, and was divided into three forces: the Chen family, the Jing family, and the Wu family.

The Wu family's power belongs to a defensive alliance. They stick together not for development but only to avoid becoming the target of plunder by other families and to live in peace in a corner.

The Jing family was very unusual. Even though a large number of family members had died and they had lost their ancestral land of Hualian Lake, they managed to carve out a niche for themselves outside and successfully occupied the territories originally belonging to the Yang and Qi families.

They belong to the offensive alliance and are the most powerful.

Finally, there is the neutral Chen family.

After the Jing family regained power, they naturally wanted to take back their ancestral heritage.

However, no matter how powerful the monks sent to deal with Chen Jing boasted before, in the end, they all turned into fertilizer in Chen Jing's hands.

After the Jing family hired a Xuanyin monk to deal with Chen Jing, but he disappeared inexplicably, they completely gave up the idea, took the initiative to offer a lot of resources as an apology, and stopped provoking the Chen family.

The Chen family also gained a lot of benefits during this wave of turmoil.

The seeds and crops, related skills, and cultivation experiences passed down within the families of those practicing cultivators whose foundations were seized were all used to enrich the Chen family's foundation.

Otherwise why would you want to protect them? Of course it’s because the money has arrived.

No one caused trouble, so Chen Jing was able to farm in peace.

With the help of Ying Huiyin, talisman arrays were set up in the newly reclaimed spiritual fields to make up for the lack of environmental and climatic elements, and a large number of out-of-season spiritual plants were planted one by one.

There were many problems encountered during this period.

Chen Jing and Ying Huiyin could only solve these messy problems together and slowly advance the "Fairyland Greenhouse Technology".

"Chen Jing, go and take a look at how the talisman formation works this time."

"The preliminary experiment of growth promotion technology went well. We can plant rice here now."

"Row."

The two of them took a break.

Ying Huiyin suddenly said, "I have to go back to the family. I have prepared the spare talismans. You just need to replace them. If there is any problem, I will tell you after I come back."

"Well, don't you hate the Ying family?"

"It's not that I hate it. I hope the Ying family will be destroyed. I don't want to go back. I am just a tool for making talismans there." Ying Huiyin said seriously, "But my father asked me to go back. He must have something to talk to me about."

"Okay, um... By the way, if it snows, you must be careful. The city will be in chaos after the snow, but I don't know where is safe at that time. Anyway, be careful."

Chen Jing looked at this girl who was once spotless and now dressed like a country girl, and couldn't help but find it very strange.

At the time I thought it was a transaction.

Unexpectedly, Ying Huiyin had only one request, which was to continue to collect the fine. Then he followed him and helped him make a talisman array that could adjust the environment.

Compared with the large array, the function and effect of the talisman array is several times weaker, and it is difficult to operate and maintain. In terms of cost-effectiveness, it is so bad that nothing is left, which is very frustrating.

But for Chen Jing at the moment, it is still a timely help.

In addition, after spending these days together, I also got to know Ying Huiyin's personality.

If I have to use something to describe him, it probably fits the stereotype of a programmer.

A saint who works like a cow or a horse, and a low EQ otaku who is not good at socializing.

In fact, she is not stupid and her emotional intelligence is not low. It's just that she has too little practical experience, so she subconsciously makes a fool of herself.

It's actually pretty easy to get along with.

"I am leaving."

"Well, if you need anything, come find me."

Chen Jing waved his hand.

Just as the two were parting.

A crystal snow grain fell on the soil of Anning Mansion.
