From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 139 Everything is steadily improving.

A faint green light flew from afar, and as it approached the mountaintop, it transformed into a tall, twelve-foot-tall wandering deity dressed in a green official robe.

He carried a small lantern in his hand and stood on clouds. Although his face was ugly, he had a certain air of high spirits.

"Twin Envoy, I'm here again."

The person had not yet arrived, but the fawning voices had already reached them.

You Ming looked up and saw that it was Zhu Xin.

"Not bad, you've been promoted."

You Ming sized up the other party. Although Zhu Xin was still wearing a green robe, it was a brand new garment with more intricate patterns on the edges.

The little lamp she was carrying was especially exquisite.

"Thanks to you, I have been promoted to the ninth-rank chief of our [Disciplinary Bureau]."

Zhu Xin had a big smile on his face, looking quite spirited.

He had been stuck in the ninth-rank divine position for a hundred years. The way of the gods also emphasizes that one must either be promoted or leave. If he didn't get promoted soon, he would have to leave.

Yes, he left in a way that isn't literally what he said.

"What good news have you brought me this time?"

You Ming leaned back in the chair, maintaining a comfortable posture.

He had now pretty much figured out Zhu Xin's attitude when delivering messages. If Zhu Xin shouted from a distance, it basically meant that something good was going to happen.

"You were absolutely right."

"The approval from above has come down. You can plant the mountain embryo at the foot of Yuanling Mountain, but there are only two requirements..."

Zhu Xin handed a document to You Ming, who opened it and began to read it.

"One is that you need to prepare a high-grade spiritual vein and plant it at the foot of the mountain, trying not to steal the spiritual energy from other areas."

Zhu Xin looked at You Ming's expression and continued.

You Ming nodded. This request was reasonable, and it was clear that the Tai'an government was also in a difficult position.

Each place has its own spiritual energy supply plan. If all of it is concentrated in your place, then other places will be in dire need of it.

"As for the second point, if cultivators of the Immortal Path have any objections, you may need to step in and resolve it on your own."

In fact, ordinary people have little need for spiritual energy. After all, a higher or lower level of spiritual energy has little impact, especially since the concentration of spiritual energy is not high in most towns and human settlements.

But these things are completely different for cultivators, for spiritual energy is their very lifeblood.

By doing this, You Ming is digging up their very roots.

Imagine, our ancestors spent hundreds or thousands of years painstakingly finding a place with abundant spiritual energy and cultivating it for so long. If you suddenly cut off their supply of spiritual energy, anyone would be furious with you.

"That's only right."

You Ming thought for a moment. Within the territory of our Tai'an Prefecture, there didn't seem to be any powerful sects. Only the Mingyue Temple had some influence, but its strongest member was only at the Yin God level. You Ming felt that he could handle it.

"Now that it's been approved by the higher-ups, I'll choose a date to start construction after I've purchased the spiritual veins."

……

The cost of purchasing the spiritual veins was not small; You Ming estimated that it would require tens of thousands of divine power.

Even with Yuanling Mountain's resources, buying a spiritual vein is still a long way off. Fortunately, during the last Autumn Hunt, he eliminated two groups of cultivators and obtained many immortal treasures using the [Gift of Destiny], which he has already entrusted to the county city god to help sell.

However, the fundraising process takes a long time, and most families are reluctant to sell spiritual veins. Even if they did, there would be a lot of people eyeing them.

"There are no auctions in our world, so you have to ask around to buy these high-end items yourself."

You Ming sighed and then strolled around Yuanling Mountain.

Everything is now stable and improving, and he has been in a good mood.

"Hey, the plants in this nursery are growing really well."

In the newly established nursery on the back hill, the diligent nursery mother, Tianxian, flitted about, carefully tending to the plants. The scarecrow dozed off listlessly, for these days the nearby birds knew there was a scarecrow here who could attack people, so they stopped coming.

In the middle of the nursery was a laurel tree, which looked no different from when it was first planted. After all, the growth period of such precious herbs is calculated in terms of ten or even a hundred years, and You Ming did not expect to harvest it in the short term.

Surrounding the laurel, many spiritual plants were also planted. These spiritual plants grew lush and green, and could be harvested every few years.

Although these spiritual plants won't be harvested so quickly, just strolling around every day and looking at the lush green nursery makes me feel much better.

"Hey, what is this?"

You Ming looked at the edge of the nursery, where a ring of something resembling foxtail grass was growing, running right around the edge of the nursery and looking like weeds.

"My lord, this is Evergreen Wheat, which is also a type of spiritual plant. However, compared to other spiritual plants, this plant grows rapidly. With a sufficient supply of spiritual energy, it can be harvested in about half a month."

"Although the spiritual energy contained in evergreen wheat is low, it is a daily food for the slaves."

Miao Mutian flew to You Ming's side and began to explain.

Yuanling Mountain now has quite a few servants. If they keep buying food from outside, it will be an expense. So Wu Mo ordered people to try planting some wheat seedlings here first. If it works, they can open up a few acres of low-grade nursery specifically for planting this plant.

You Ming nodded; he was simply curious and had no other intentions.

However, he quickly realized what was happening.

"So, all this evergreen wheat must be ripe by now."

You Ming looked at the plants, but because they looked like foxtail grass, he couldn't tell whether they were ready to be harvested.

Miao Mutianxian nodded. She had originally planned to find some helpers to harvest the crops in the next day or two.

"Alright, I'll give you three days off. Go and rest."

You Ming waved his hand and spoke to the land slaves in the nursery.

"Ok?"

Miao Mutianxian tilted her head. For them, these servants, the word "rest and rest" was the most distant concept.

However, after receiving You Ming's affirmative answer, she immediately flew away, full of gratitude.

"The three of you should also go and rest."

The three scarecrows had been awake for a while, but they felt this was more surreal than a dream. Soon, however, they were all extremely grateful to the lord, and then skipped and hopped off to play elsewhere.

Seeing that no one was around, You Ming flicked his finger, and a line of water, as thin as a spider's web, suddenly appeared, meandering and gently brushing across the bottom of all the evergreen wheat, causing all the wheat to fall to the ground in unison.

The moment the wheat fell to the ground, the void trembled slightly, and objects appeared out of thin air.

With a flick of his sleeve, You Ming instantly captured everything with his magic, and then his figure vanished, having already entered the Yin World Temple.
