Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 254: Out of the blue (Subscribe)

In the world of cultivation, there is one thing that is different from the mundane world.

All the spiritual fields on Wolong Island are private property of the local cultivation families.

In other words, all the resources on Wolong Island belong to Chen Xuan.

As long as he pays taxes on time and does not violate the sect's rules, in principle the Jinyang Sect cannot take it back without reason, and it can be passed down to future generations.

The mines and prey found on Wolong Island also belong to Chen Xuan.

In the seven counties of the secular world, the cultivated land is controlled by the major families.

However, Chen Xuan was not worried about this.

In the spiritual mirror fantasy world, he had experience in reclaiming land ownership.

Now that he holds great power, it is not difficult for him to take back the land and rent it out to tenant farmers with just one order.

Distributing land evenly can protect the interests of tenant farmers to the greatest extent possible and avoid the formation of refugees after natural disasters, which can lead to wars.

However, there is no rush.

After Yuan Zudao is successfully implemented, it will be promoted further to gain more people's support.

As for the objections of the secular families, does it matter?
It doesn't matter at all.

I am powerless to resist.

What's more, Chen Xuan also plans to give them a certain amount of financial compensation.

The increase in the number of mortals also means an increase in the number of cultivators with spiritual roots.

The immortal seedlings discovered on Wolong Island are the best development targets for the Chen family.

All my relatives are on Wolong Island.

He was trained since childhood and has a high degree of loyalty, willing to risk his life for the Chen family.

In addition, Chen Xuan always felt that the Xuanyuan Continent underestimated the power of mortals.

As long as ordinary people can solve the problem of food and clothing, increase education, enlighten the people and encourage innovation, science and technology will develop very quickly.

For high-level cultivators, a hundred years is just a blink of an eye, but the mortal world can be turned upside down.

However, the prerequisite is to solve the problem of food and clothing for mortals.

These are Chen Xuan’s long-term development directions.

At present, the most important thing is to develop Yuanzu spiritual rice using inferior spiritual rice chalcedony rice.

Shorten the growing period and increase yield.

Chalcedony rice is a first-grade, low-grade spiritual plant and is the staple food for cultivators in the Qi training stage.

As big as broad beans, the grains are full, like white chalcedony, full of spiritual energy, and have the effect of strengthening internal breath and nourishing the body.

The growing period is nine months, and the yield per mu of inferior spiritual fields is only 200 kilograms.

Chen Xuan's experimental Yuanzuling rice shortened the growth period to four months.

From one season to two seasons, the output of a single season has doubled, which is equivalent to four times the previous amount.

The yield per mu of inferior spiritual fields reaches about 800 kilograms in two seasons a year.

Even if the taste is slightly worse, as long as it contains only 70% to 80% of the spiritual power as before, it is still a groundbreaking research and development.

Moreover, with technologies like hybrid rice, the more time invested, the better the varieties developed will be and the higher the yield will be.

When Yuan Zu's spiritual rice is successfully developed, all the inferior spiritual fields on Wolong Island will be planted with this rice.

The output of the 9,500 mu of low-grade spiritual fields on Wolong Island has expanded from 2 million jin of spiritual rice to 8 million jin, more than enough to meet the needs of all the monks on the island.

Chen Xuan will not sell the remaining ones. Except for a part of it being stored for backup, the rest will be used to brew spirit wine.

The price of spiritual wine is much more expensive than that of inferior spiritual jade, and its added value is also higher.

……

Another month has passed.

The fields of Wolong Island are full of farmers working hard.

At this time, Yuan Zudao's strange appearance could no longer be concealed and quickly spread throughout the seven counties of Wolong Island.

An experienced farmer could tell at a glance that the yield of Yuanzu rice was at least 500 kilograms.

It is more than twice the amount of ordinary rice.

Based on two seasons a year, one acre of cultivated land can yield a thousand kilograms of rice!
Now, their only concern is whether Yuanzu rice can be eaten like ordinary rice.

As for taste and nutrition, they are not worth mentioning given the huge gap in production.

Officials such as Nangong Lin mobilized all staff to supervise the harvest in the fields.

The focus is Yuanzu rice. Every acre of land and every ear of rice must be counted clearly.

……

At this time, Yuan Zu was at the Lingdao experimental field.

Jiang Liguang and Jiang Yingxing, along with a dozen spiritual farmers, were also very busy.

Growing spiritual rice is not an easy task.

Even a low-grade first-level spiritual plant will attract all kinds of demonic insects and beasts to come and devour it as it grows.

At this time, spiritual farmers are needed to cast spells to eliminate all kinds of pests and disasters.

In addition, one must constantly practice the Spiritual Rain Technique to nourish the spiritual soil, maintain the spiritual energy in the spiritual field, and help the spiritual rice grow.

From a spiritual farmer, to a spiritual plant apprentice, and then to a first-level spiritual plant husband.

There are hundreds of arts in cultivation, and improving each one requires a lot of time and experience.

In the entire Wolongfang City, there are thousands of cultivators who farm, but most of them are stuck at the spiritual farmer stage, and there are only a few first-level spiritual plant husbandries.

In the entire Jiang family, Jiang Liguang is the only person who can be mentioned, a genuine first-level spiritual plant husband.

He also intends to train Jiang Yingxing to be his successor.

After becoming a spiritual plant husband, he took over the Jiang family.

With Jiang Yingxue, a good sister, around, he believed that under the leadership of Jiang Yingxing, the Jiang family would be able to thrive on Wolong Island.

Jiang Yingxing naturally had no objection to this.

If it weren't for Jiang Yingxue, his closest cousin, how could the clan leader have trained him so carefully?

It is not his turn to inherit the position of patriarch.

At this time, the two of them, with a dozen recruited spiritual farmers, were eliminating pests in an acre of spiritual rice experimental field.

The spell he performed was the "Golden Needle Finger", a basic spell commonly used by spiritualists. He used finger force to send out golden needles to kill the small evil insects in the spiritual field.

This is a test field for spiritual rice. Jiang Liguang's requirement is that every spiritual rice plant must be carefully inspected to eliminate any tiny evil insects.

He knew very well that the spiritual fields on Wolong Island had been cultivated to the limit and it was difficult to add new area.

The experiment with Yuan Zu's spiritual rice was Chen Xuan's first step in expanding his family's strength.

Only by significantly increasing the output of spiritual rice and increasing the financial resources of the Chen family can Chen Xuan make further progress in his cultivation, strengthen his strength, and protect their survival and development.

Jiang Liguang was confident in this. Following Chen Xuan here and rebuilding his business was his lifelong wish.

……

Yuan Zudao was a great success.

The trial crops were all grown in ordinary arable land, and the yield per mu reached 500 kilograms.

The key is that the growing period is shortened to only four months, which is enough to plant another season.

A farming family could originally only produce more than 10,000 kilograms of grain.

After switching to growing Yuanzu rice, more than 40,000 kilograms of grain can be produced a year.

Because of the special nature of the rice variety, farmers have to pay an additional 10% and hand over 60% of the harvested grain.

Despite this, 20,000 kilograms of grain were still left behind.

For ordinary people, food is lifeblood.

The house can be made do, the clothes can be tattered, but food is real wealth.

As soon as the harvest is over, farmers thresh the Yuanzu rice and eat it.

The taste is indeed a bit worse.

But when you eat it, it tastes just like ordinary food, without any abnormality at all.

This made them ecstatic.

Only when you have a full meal can you have the energy to work.

Whether it is the fields at home or the fields outside the house, you can farm them more vigorously.

Only when there is food at home can you dare to have more children.

All of a sudden, the farmers on Wolong Island were full of energy and spirit, and even their voices became much louder, as if they were determined to take charge of the situation.

Some of the smart ones even started asking matchmakers to help them, intending to marry another concubine.

When you are well fed and warm, you will think about sex!
……

Chen Xuan asked Wang Fugui to handle these mundane matters.

Yuan Zudao’s success was expected.

His mind was focused on the practice of Yuan Zu's spiritual rice.

Under the guidance of Jin Liguang, Jiang Yingxing led a dozen spiritual farmers to diligently plant an acre of Yuanzu spiritual rice.

No matter how big or small the matter is, from turning the soil, applying rain, to pest control, etc., everything is taken care of.

Every grain of Yuanzu's spiritual rice is treated as a treasure.

Under the care of Jiang Liguang, the spiritual plant husband, and a dozen spiritual farmers day and night, Yuanzu's spiritual rice grew smoothly.

A month later, Yuan Zuling Rice reached maturity.

The ripening period of spiritual rice is extremely short, usually only six or seven days.

After a certain period of time, the spiritual rice will begin to wither and its quality will plummet.

Once the spiritual rice is ripe, the spiritual farmers must harvest it as soon as possible.

At this time, Jiang Liguang, Jiang Yingxing and others all went into battle, bending over and seizing the time to harvest the spiritual rice.

The spiritual rice is more than one meter tall, and the grains are full and abundant, with each grain being the size of a little finger.

Originally, one acre of inferior spiritual field could only yield two hundred kilograms.

But when it comes to the hybrid Yuanzuling rice, the plants are taller, the roots are deeply rooted in the spiritual fields, and the rhizomes are thick and tough.

We should be able to receive 400 kilograms.

This acre of Yuanzuling rice is their treasure.

After four months of hard work, success or failure depends on today.

Spiritual farmers harvest spiritual rice using specially made sickles, the blades of which are coated with a layer of black iron to increase their sharpness.

There are more than a dozen sharp leaves on the rice plant.

Perhaps, knowing its fate of being harvested, the spiritual rice frantically waved its rice leaves at the spiritual farmers like knives and swords.

When Chen Xuan arrived at the experimental field, more than a dozen spiritual farmers were carefully harvesting spiritual rice. After the harvest, the spiritual rice was bundled into balls and carried on their shoulders to the open space for threshing.

"Master of the house."

Seeing Chen Xuan coming, Jiang Liguang hurried over.

"Elder Jiang, how is it?"

"all the best."

Jiang Liguang's face flushed.

"This spiritual rice variety has a shortened growth period and can be harvested in four months. Moreover, the yield per mu can reach 400 kilograms."

"Very good. Everyone has worked hard. We will go to the account later and withdraw 30 spirit stones each."

"Thank you, Master Chen!"

"Master Chen has an unparalleled life and good fortune!"

Upon hearing that there were spirit stones to be distributed, a dozen or so recruited spirit farmers cheered loudly.

In such a barren land, thirty spirit stones is a huge sum of money.

For these spiritual farmers, they can earn such an income just by doing some extra farm work. The new head of the Chen family is indeed generous.

"Greetings, head of the family." Jiang Yingxing also came over and wiped his face with his clothes.

His face was covered in blood, with more than a dozen wounds caused by rice leaves.

Chen Xuan patted his shoulder gently to show encouragement.

He wants to focus on training Jiang Yingxing.

After all, he is Jiang Yingxue's closest blood relative.

With one acre of spiritual rice and more than a dozen spiritual farmers, even if they work very carefully, the harvest can be completed in less than half an hour.

Soon, at the call of Chen Xuan, Zhou Shiren and Jiang Zhengming also came to Yuan Zu's spiritual rice experimental field.

Looking at such an astonishing output, although I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked when I saw it with my own eyes.

"Elder Zhou, Elder Jiang, take a look at this spiritual rice."

Chen Xuan took out some Yuanzu Ling rice and used a little magic power to remove the husk on the surface.

He gave some to Zhou Shiren and Jiang Zhengming, and took a few himself and put them in his mouth to chew.

"Yes, the spiritual energy is about 70% to 80% of that of chalcedony rice."

Chen Xuan secretly felt the difference between Yuanzu Lingdao and Chalcedony Rice.

The size is slightly larger than the original chalcedony rice, and the taste is obviously worse.

The four-fold difference in production is enough to offset this minor flaw.
