Qingcang Immortal Clan: Starting with Farming to Increase Luck

Chapter 96 Aquaculture

Qingcang Mountain.

After returning to the courtyard, Lu Yang felt relieved. He had been on edge for a month, constantly on edge. After all, he was going to risk his life. Even though he was careful, this was the cultivation world. Who knew if there were any powerful Foundation Establishment or Golden Core cultivators in the Southern Barbarians who might suddenly go crazy and do something drastic? He might be gone.

Only the Qingcang Mountains can bring Lu Yang a sense of security.

It's only been a month, and with Ziyang Peak and the great formation, the four acres of spirit fields are doing quite well, without any major problems. After Lu Yang used his magic, they became even more robust.

No, it should be 4.5 mu now. With the investment of spiritual veins, the spiritual fields seem to be growing faster and faster.

The Lingyang rice is growing well, and the Anshenmu tree is now half a leg tall.

Everything was moving in a positive direction, and Lu Yang also put Lu Changkong's spirit vein bead into the spirit field.

The Lesser Spirit Gathering Technique was activated, and the gathered spiritual energy was noticeably increased.

Next is the cultivation of medicinal herbs, which must be separated from the spiritual fields. Otherwise, the spiritual herbs' ability to steal spiritual energy is much stronger than that of the spiritual grains, which can easily affect the growth of the spiritual grains.

Furthermore, it must be combined with Minor Spirit Gathering Technique, Minor Spirit Condensation Technique, and Minor Spirit Interception Technique to increase the concentration of spiritual energy in the soil of the medicinal field, which must be at least ten times that of a spirit field.

This is the key reason why medicinal fields are difficult to cultivate. If they are just in a state without spiritual veins at the beginning, it is simply a pipe dream to cultivate medicinal fields.

This process is destined to be lengthy; the medicinal field will only be fully nurtured two months later, when the Lingyang rice matures.

After casting a spell, the medicinal herbs can be planted a few days later.

In the courtyard, Lu Yang looked thoughtfully at the two spirit fish in the simple fish tank he had made.

Lu Yang caught these two spirit fish from the Qingcang River. He didn't eat them; he just kept them in the river.

Lu Yang didn't pay much attention to it; he just put it in and never looked after it, never even feeding it.

When I looked at it today, I found it had turned upside down, belly up. It's gone.

It doesn't matter if the fish are gone; what matters is luck.

Two insignificant streams of fortune landed inside the Fate-Breaking Pearl. Although they were few, Lu Yang could still sense them. This situation made Lu Yang unable to help but make a guess.

Could it be that not only planting spirit grains brings good fortune, but raising spirit fish can also do so?

Perhaps it's not just about raising spirit fish; it could also involve raising other creatures.

The way of Heaven values ​​life, and this seems to be the right way. In a sense, the spirit grain and the spirit fish seem to be no different.

With this in mind, Lu Yang also had an idea.

Meanwhile, the four western prefectures seemed to have returned to peace. The Lu family had taken over the southern prefecture, and the Yang family had no complaints. After all, if it weren't for the Lu family, it was uncertain whether the Yang family would even exist.

The ancient priest's curse almost succeeded. If it had, both of the Yang family's ancestors would have perished one after another. Without the Foundation Establishment stage, how could the Yang family have any reason to exist?

Moreover, Biannan County has been ravaged by the Southern Barbarians. Of its nine counties, six have almost no population left, and its cultivation resources have been devastated.

Even if the southern border were given to the Lu family, the Yang family wouldn't feel so bad.

Of course, the most important factor was the Lu family's immense power.

Amidst this tranquility, invitations were sent out one after another, plunging the four western prefectures into turmoil once again. Not only the four western prefectures, but the entire southern state seemed to be stirred by the falling rocks in a lake.

"The Golden Elixir Ceremony!"

At the Chen family residence in Fuling, Chen Changsheng handed the invitation to Chen Futong. Both of them stared at the invitation, lost in thought.

Separated by the Moon-Covering Lake, the four western prefectures, bordering the southern barbarians, have always been one.

Over the years, each of the four western prefectures has a Foundation Establishment family. Although there is competition, they can barely maintain a balance.

All four families are actually trying their best to break this balance, and the Chen family is the most likely to break the balance, after all, Chen Futong has the highest cultivation level and is closest to the Golden Core realm.

Chen Futong himself thought so too, but who could have imagined that all his precautions would ultimately allow the Lu family to take advantage of the situation?

Even now, Chen Futong still can't figure out how Lu Guchu suddenly jumped from the late Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage.

This is no ordinary breakthrough. Among all the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in Tiannan, how many can break through to the Golden Core stage?

Aside from the major powers, it's already quite good if one in a thousand smaller powers are chosen.

What are Lu Guchu's qualifications?

He only has dual fire and wood spiritual roots, which is not as good as Lu Changfeng with lightning spiritual roots, let alone his heaven spiritual root.

The result was that his Heavenly Spiritual Root could only reach the Pseudo-Core Realm, while Lu Guchu unexpectedly broke through to the Golden Core Realm, disrupting the balance of the four prefectures.

Now that the invitation is here, it lets Chen Futong know that no matter how hard he can't understand it, he must know from now on that there is only one master of the four western prefectures, and that is the Lu family, and that is Lu Guchu.

This is not just an invitation for them to attend a ceremony, have a meal, and listen to sermons; it is also a declaration of hegemony.

"Grandpa, shall we go?"

Chen Futong glanced at Chen Changsheng and said, "Isn't that obvious? If I wasn't going, I wouldn't have been able to be manipulated by Lu Guchu to go and support you."

Chen Changsheng was speechless for a moment upon hearing this, then chuckled and said, "Grandpa, since that's the case, he's now at the Golden Core stage, so we can't call him by his name directly. We have to address him as 'Senior' or 'True Person'."

"You think you're so clever with words? You want to get beaten up?"

How bitter!

Watching Chen Changsheng run away, Chen Futong felt a bitter taste in his mouth. How could Lu Guchu have broken through to his level?

After receiving the invitation, Yang Tiantong immediately went to prepare a gift. He didn't dare to have any other thoughts. Biannan County had already given the gift. His Yang family was now an appendage of the Lu family, so how could he dare to harbor any ulterior motives?

When the invitation was delivered to Yanyue Lake, Lin Conglong angrily slammed it onto the shore.

That's outrageous! They even dared to send an invitation; he definitely won't go.

Besides the Moon-Hidden Lake, the Lu family's invitations were also sent to various major forces. For a time, the most exciting thing in Nanzhou was the Lu family's Golden Core congratulatory gift.

After Lu Yang harvested the spirit fields, he also felt the liveliness of the clan. The Qingcang Mountain, which was usually somewhat desolate, was now bustling with activity.

After all, it was their ancestor's Golden Core celebration, and many clansmen who were away from home rushed back at this time.

Moreover, the Golden Elixir Ceremony is still a month away, and in the next few days, the number of clansmen on Qingcang Mountain will likely only increase.

Lu Yang came out this time because his clan informed him that the contribution points from the last war against the Southern Barbarians had been calculated and asked him to go there.

Inside the Inner Affairs Hall.

Lu Yang was pleasantly surprised when he saw his contribution points.

"Three thousand contribution points!"

This is the most contribution points Lu Yang has gained since breaking through to the Qi Refining stage.

All the previous contribution points accumulated together did not amount to this one.

However, looking at the details of the contribution points in the group, Lu Yang felt that it was only right that he had so many contribution points.

Killing the evil cultivator was secondary; the main task was to provide information twice.

One was to provide the ancient priest with the curse technique, and the other was information obtained from Li Hu.

These two pieces of news are more important than the last, and the 3,000 contribution points are absolutely well-deserved.

Having obtained the contribution points, Lu Yang didn't intend to keep them and instead focused his attention on the contribution point exchange catalog in the Inner Affairs Hall.

Spiritual materials, pills, magical artifacts, and so on were all listed there, but Lu Yang still focused his attention on a spiritual lake.

A ten-year lease of five acres of Linghu Lake, valued at 2,000 contribution points.

The location of this spirit lake is not far from Lu Yang's spirit fields, about ten miles away. For Lu Yang, this distance is just a short distance.

That's right, Lu Yang is preparing to explore ways to gain good fortune.

Since it has been discovered that raising spirit fish can bring good fortune, then we should put it to use. This is much more reliable than experimentally planting spirit herbs. After all, those two spirit fish were just ordinary spirit fish, not of any grade, but the fortune they brought seemed pretty good. If we could raise a whole pond of them, that would be a huge windfall.

There are spirit lakes on Qingcang Mountain, but these spirit lakes are mostly rented out.

Lu Yang hadn't noticed it before, but since he happened to come across it this time, he naturally couldn't miss it.

It's just two thousand contribution points, it's not like we don't have any.

Lu Yang presented the token to the steward of the Inner Affairs Hall, "Uncle, I want to rent this Spirit Lake."

The steward of the Inner Affairs Hall looked at Lu Yang, then at the contribution points balance in Lu Yang's token, and couldn't help but say, "Xuan Yang, you're farming and raising fish at the same time, don't let it interfere with your cultivation."

Lu Yang smiled and replied, "Uncle, it won't be delayed. Give me some more first-tier spirit fish."

After this period of cultivation and training, Lu Yang is not far from the seventh level of Qi Refining. At this time, his spiritual seed has accumulated fifty-five strands of spiritual energy, and he is only five strands away from breaking through.

Breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining happened within the last month or two. It has to be said that going out to carry out missions, especially battles, although dangerous, really improved my cultivation speed afterward, and also made me refine Spirit Nourishing Pills much faster.

Seeing Lu Yang's cultivation level, the clan uncle said no more. His reminder was well-intentioned, and it seemed that there was indeed no need to worry about Lu Yang's cultivation progress.

At this age, reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining is already quite fast.

After transferring control of the Spirit Lake to Lu Yang's token, the steward gave Lu Yang a first-tier fish species.

"These are a thousand Tier 1 spirit fish. I'll give you ten contribution points. Raising Tier 1 spirit fish isn't easy, so it's normal for some to die or get injured. Don't be discouraged. If you don't want to rent them anymore, you can come back and cancel the lease, and you'll get some contribution points back."

This uncle was kind-hearted, and Lu Yang was grateful. His eyes swept across the catalog, which contained too many items, so Lu Yang simply asked.

"Uncle, are there any spirit fields for rent not far from where I want to rent?"

Still renting!

This time, the clan uncle really frowned. "That's it, Xuan Yang. For the clan now, the income from planting spirit fields is not that important anymore. The clan opens up spirit fields and rents them out for clan members to plant, mainly to support those clan members who do not have any special skills but have the will to cultivate, and to give them a chance."

Now that you've reached the fifth level of Qi Refining and have the ability to draw talismans, you shouldn't compete with those newly recruited Qi Refining clansmen for these spirit fields.
