I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 51: The Demonic Beast Appears
disinfecting pests may seem simple, but the reality is that humans have never truly defeated bugs.

To catch the pests accurately without harming the spiritual valley is a great test of the monk's eyesight and mastery of magic.

It is for this reason that many spiritual forces regard pest control as a way to practice magic.

It is similar in the Zhong family of Taoyuan. Unless there is a large-scale locust plague, they will basically not use insect repellent bells at the first moment.

After all, insect repellent bells are only a temporary solution and the bugs may soon return.

This method is indeed a good way of training for Zhong Sheng and Xue Jingliang, but for the King of Scrolls who has maxed out his spells, it is pure labor.

As their magic power was depleted, Zhong Sheng and Xue Jingliang soon could not hold on any longer and could only meditate to restore their magic power.

And Zhong Lixiao was also accumulating fatigue in the process of repeatedly performing the "Xuanling Capturing Method".

Fortunately, he can command the five ghosts to help at the same time, otherwise, it is hard to say how long it will take to clear the "vast" area of ​​the ten acres of spiritual field.

Being a spiritual plant husband is not that easy!

but.

When I see the rice seedlings bent over by the full grains of millet, my heart is filled with satisfaction and expectation again.

Thinking of the six independent cultivators who attacked at the same time the year before last, Zhong Lixiao inevitably felt gloomy in his heart again.

The autumn harvest season is approaching again. If the Pei family of Yueya Lake really wants to cause trouble, it will most likely happen in the near future.

This is completely different from the fact that most wars in the mortal world take place after the crops are harvested!

In the mortal world, after harvesting the grain, the imperial court has food and fodder, and the people have time, which is a good time to fight a war.

As for the war between the Pei family of Yueya Lake and the Zhong family of Taoyuan, the most basic idea is to destroy the tribute that the other party is going to hand over to Baiyun Temple, causing the other party to lose value in the eyes of Baiyun Temple.

of course.

All of this can only be done in secret. Even if everyone knows it, it still cannot be put on the table.

After all, Baiyun Temple is the supreme sect that no one dares to offend. Once Baiyun Temple is displeased, it may collapse at any time.

That is why, last year, those who broke the tacit understanding and trampled on each other's bottom line were all a group of "casual cultivators".

Will there be a large number of "casual cultivators" coming this year?

Every failure makes one wiser. This year, Taoyuan Zhong will definitely learn from their mistakes and focus on defense, right? !

The fear is that after what happened last year, other forces have also had some ideas about the Taoyuan Zhong family, resulting in the Taoyuan Zhong family being unable to defend themselves even if they want to.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it; the broken window effect is nothing more than this.

If Zhong Lixiao were in charge, he might consider shrinking the sphere of influence appropriately and focusing on protecting the most important family businesses.

of course.

In this process, it was inevitable that other forces would take advantage of the opportunity to jointly lower prices and swallow up a large amount of Zhong's industries at extremely low prices.

This is the pain that one must go through after one's strength weakens!
But if they do this, not only will they be forced to cut flesh and bleed, but their weak nature will also be completely seen through by other forces, and even the last bit of concern will be dispelled.

This reminded Zhong Lixiao of an interesting question from his previous life: in Dream of the Red Chamber, the Jia family was already spending more than they earned, so why did they still live so extravagantly? Couldn't they cut back on spending?

Then some insightful netizens said that if the Jia family cut back on spending, they would only die faster.

For wealthy people, the most important thing is to give confidence to other partners.

As long as others still have confidence in you, you can still borrow money and have the possibility of revitalizing your family business.

Once your partners lose confidence in you, you will most likely face the most serious bank run, and the funding gap will suddenly turn from a small hole into a bottomless pit.

A typical example is a certain Indian song and dance troupe.

How to choose?

Zhong Lixiao was caught in a dilemma for a moment.

After thinking it over, it seems that Second Uncle's foundation building is really the best breakthrough point for Taoyuan Zhong Clan at present.

If you want to successfully build the foundation, you need to polish the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit to perfection at the same time, and finally sublimate and transform.

The actual final foundation-building process is not long. The shortest time is probably only half a month to a month, and the longest time is probably no more than three months.

The really difficult part is the process of polishing the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit. I just don’t know how far Second Uncle has come now.

Zhong Lixiao even suspected that the Pei family of Yueya Lake would deliberately launch an attack at this juncture to deliberately disrupt the progress of his second uncle's foundation building.

Zhong Lixiao felt helpless. It seemed that outsiders knew more about Second Uncle's foundation building than he, a member of the Zhong family.

He is currently in Taoyuan Zhong family, but he is still too marginalized.

This also made Zhong Lixiao realize that if he wanted to build a foundation, it would be best to keep it confidential in advance.

Make everyone think that it is absolutely impossible for him to build a foundation in a short period of time, and then suddenly attack, catching everyone off guard.

Just when Zhong Lixiao was worried about the future of the Zhong family, Wei Dutou and his troops, who had been in charge of patrolling the manor, hurried over.

This is quite rare!

Zhong Lixiao and the other two immediately realized that something big might have happened.

Captain Wei said anxiously, "Master Eleven, something bad has happened. The troops patrolling the village have just discovered that some formidable creatures seem to have come to Daliang Mountain."

Zhong Lixiao: "How big is it?"

Wei Dutou: "We don't know exactly how big it is yet, but the footprints are very large and deep. We found a lot of broken trees on the trail where it walked, the thickest of which is even thicker than a bucket. We dare not explore further."

Zhong Sheng and Xue Jingliang were both a little shocked.

"How thick? Are you sure it's really as thick as a bucket?"

Wei Dutou said fearfully, "Yes, I will guarantee it with my own life."

Xue Jingliang was shocked and said, "A large number of trees were broken, which shows that the beast is not only huge in size, but also has thick skin and flesh, and is incredibly strong."

"Even a tree as thick as a bucket was broken by the impact. Ordinary wild beasts simply don't have this kind of strength. It must be a demon beast."

"Could it be that it was attracted by the first-level spiritual rice that is about to mature?"

Zhong Lixiao was also quite surprised.

It will take at least half a year for the spiritual rice to fully mature, right?
Is it already starting to attract monsters?

It seems that he still underestimated the appeal of the first-level spiritual rice!
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. First-grade spiritual rice is useful to cultivators who are building their foundation. In the eyes of monsters, it is probably not much different from other natural treasures.

In some aspects, monsters are much more talented than humans. Some monsters can even easily smell the scent within a hundred miles.

Trouble!

Zhong Sheng couldn't hide his fear and anxiety and said, "Master, why don't we ask the family for help!"

It's huge in size, incredibly strong, and has thick skin and flesh. This is most likely not a monster they can handle.

They are most likely the stronger ones among the first-level monsters, almost equivalent to the late stage of Qi training of the human race.

Zhong Sheng also knew that the young master was more worried that there were spies within the Zhong family. He was afraid that once the news of the production of first-grade spiritual rice leaked out, it would most likely attract enemies that they would be unable to deal with.

At that time, not to mention the loss of the first-grade spiritual rice, their lives might even be in danger.

But the problem is that they all seem to be finished now!

Xue Jingliang was also quite worried, but his former status as the Grand Marshal of the Army had made him strong enough to remain calm even if the sky fell.

On the contrary, Zhong Lixiao, the person involved, was the calmest.

Because up to now, the magical power "God loves fools" has not given him any guidance on his destiny.

In other words, even if the monster that came was stronger, it would most likely be within his ability to deal with.

It is still far from the point where he has to go all out and could lose everything if he makes a wrong move.

If this is the case, then the monster is most likely coming here to deliver meat.

The flesh and blood of powerful monsters contain much richer spiritual energy and blood than ordinary spiritual rice.

Zhong Lixiao's eyes were bright as he said, "Take me to the place where the monster left its traces."

"Yes."

Wei Dutou immediately obeyed the order.

But deep down in his heart, fear, uneasiness, worry, curiosity, and anticipation were gradually creeping into his mind.

Can the Eleventh Master really handle it?

That is a huge monster that is several meters in size!
