Spirit cultivation and immortality, how do you control an aircraft carrier?

Chapter 117 Farming Artifact, Time Flies

But Cui'er was truly startled.

In this world where souls exist, the sea of ​​consciousness is a very private place.

No one dared to let outsiders in at will.

However, Cui'er soon discovered that the other party had only transmitted the message to the superficial level of the soul, achieving the effect of a mere message, without any deeper meaning.

"Mental attributes?"

After all, she was a maidservant trained by a prominent family for their direct descendants, and Cui'er immediately guessed the reason.

But even though I guessed it, I was still quite shocked.

This new spiritual object must have been recently awakened by Young Master Shen, which means it is yet another innate protective spirit!

It also possesses the rare attribute of a mind.

Three innate protective spirits in a row... Cui'er's gaze towards Shen Huang changed slightly.

Normally, one must have a deep affection for a spirit in order to have a chance to become its innate protector during the awakening process.

Like her daughter.

That jade sword was something the young lady's father had risked his life to obtain. He passed away not long after giving it to her due to his severe injuries. The young lady had carried it with her almost since childhood, and it was through countless days and nights of longing that she finally succeeded in obtaining it.

For an ordinary person to possess even one such emotion is already extraordinary, signifying a person deeply devoted to love.

Young Master Shen... there are actually three of them!

Cui'er took a deep breath, gaining a deeper understanding of this prodigy disciple of the Star River Immortal Sect.

Then came the regret: "The Mind Attribute... is indeed quite rare. Perhaps our young lady could send a message back to ask within the clan if they have found any trace of the Mind Attribute inheritance."

Despite saying that, she knew very well that even if some clues were found, the family would not bother to search for them.

Unless, of course, Young Master Shen is willing to marry into the family.

But even a young lady wouldn't easily speak of such talent.

However, even with innate talent, it would be difficult to achieve such management efficiency.

Without magic, mortals are not so easy to control.

Cui'er suppressed her curiosity and focused on the important matter at hand.

He took out some items from his Qiankun bag, which made Shen Huang's eyes light up.

"Young Master Shen, this is the core of the Myriad Souls Sacrifice Array you requested, as well as the Crystal Jade Spirit Rice for planting. As for the Light-type spells, Spirit Plant spells, and other exchange items, you'll have to wait a while."

"These two things are the most important," Shen Huang said, already quite satisfied.

He was also well aware that this speed was already due to Yin Yueshu leveraging her family's connections and efforts.

Having given the gifts, Cui'er looked around the sheltered place one last time before taking her leave.

Although I would like to explore further how to manage it, the sanctuary is indeed not suitable for hosting guests at this moment.

There will be opportunities in the future.

Immediately, Shen Huang watched them leave, then looked at the fifty-odd people present and the items in their hands.

"Xiao Yin, these people are in your care." Shen Huang said, but he also brought two items with him and went directly to Xiao Yin's side.

Xiao Yin had clearly been waiting for a long time.

She first looked at the Great Array of Ten Thousand Souls Sacrifice.

The other items in this grand formation had already been prepared beforehand, such as several jade pillars carved from white jade. These are the most suitable objects for storing souls, and each one is carved with patterns that need to be infused with spiritual blood.

There were also other materials, all of which were prepared, and even quite well prepared.

Only this core can be made by a first-order array master.

From the outside, it looks like just a black iron pillar, but it is clearly not ordinary iron. There is spiritual energy surging on it, which gives people a sinister feeling.

"Once the formation is activated, it is divided into two sets, mother and child, which can give the jade pillars within the formation the ability to absorb and trap souls for a certain period of time." Xiao Yin explained to Shen Huang while observing carefully. "Therefore, this set of formations was often used by the demonic sects before the Great Calamity. They would often set up the formation near a city first, and then send their subordinates with the jade pillars to hunt down civilians and cultivators, which was much simpler than capturing them alive."

"Now, it should be an improved version, right?" Shen Huang looked at the eerie array core with great curiosity.

Although it still doesn't look like anything legitimate, it's actually much more palatable than something bloody.

"Yes, it's been improved. Both the main array placed in the sanctuary and the branch arrays can trap more souls." Xiao Yin turned to Shen Huang and chuckled, "This array wasn't called the 'Ten Thousand Souls Sacrifice Array' before; it was called the 'Thousand Souls Sacrifice Array.'"

A single word difference reveals the direction of improvement.

For Shen Huang's sanctuary, the biggest benefit is that it can make more efficient and fuller use of the spoils.

In the past, the treasure monsters that Xiao Yuan caught were somewhat wasted in terms of their souls, since there was a lack of means to bind them or bring them back.

That won't happen now or in the future.

It's not just about treasure monsters; clearing out the ordinary fog monsters around them can also greatly reduce waste.

At that time, the soul will be thrown in, while the flesh and blood will be destroyed and brought back to the mother planet for farming!

"Actually, if there were another flesh and blood sacrifice array, it would be even more efficient." Xiao Yin looked at Shen Huang with pleading eyes, looking pitiful and wanting it.

"We don't have enough contribution points," Shen Huang said helplessly. "We can either buy them with spirit rice, but the consumption of spirit rice is also very high right now."

The Sanctuary is now operating at a loss.

They were entirely supported by Shen Huang's previous spoils of war, in a special state where on the one hand, there were all kinds of treasures and monsters, and cultivation resources were abundant, while on the other hand, economic resources were scarce.

As the warehouse manager of the shelter, Xiao Yin was naturally well aware of these matters.

He's just playing the victim now, while simultaneously reminding his owner that there must be economic benefits within the sanctuary.

"It all depends on these spirit rice." Shen Huang looked at the bags of crystal jade spirit rice.

Whether it's the most basic white spirit rice or crystal jade spirit rice, there are no special planting methods. As long as it's not already hulled, it can be planted.

Otherwise, these two types of spiritual rice would not have achieved such widespread popularity.

Therefore, these crystal jade rice grains are essentially just rice grains that have not yet been hulled.

But looking at them now, they are obviously larger than white spirit rice, each one almost the size of a corn kernel, and they are indeed full of spiritual energy. Even though they are wrapped in husks, you can vaguely feel the pure spiritual energy contained within them.

"How do we plant this?" Shen Huang asked.

"Here are the instructions." Xiao Yin pulled out a piece of parchment from one of the rice bags. "Plant it, water it every three days, and then ensure that the spiritual energy is so concentrated that you can see sixth-level mortal-transformation fog monsters everywhere. Then it will be a cycle every six months. If the spiritual energy concentration is high enough that you can see seventh-level mortal-transformation fog monsters everywhere, then it will be a cycle every month. Beyond that, you need to use the Spirit Planting Technique, and it can be a cycle as fast as ten days."

"A cycle every ten days?" Shen Huang was slightly taken aback, feeling a sense of shock.

When I was researching vertical rice farming factories before, I learned that the fastest rice growth on the home planet under laboratory conditions still takes sixty days from sowing to harvest!

And this kind of spiritual rice can be made in as little as ten days?

No wonder it became the mainstream spiritual rice of the Immortal Dynasty before the great calamity; there's a reason for that.

This is simply a dream come true for farming-style players!

"Yes." Shen Huang calmed down a bit.

Ten days—this record for the fastest is indeed a bit exaggerated.

"However," Xiao Yin's eyes curved into a smile as she held up a finger, "I'm still confident that we can achieve this within a month."

"The Spirit Gathering Array has reached this level?" Shen Huang was delighted.

Even a month is impressive!

"Mmm!" Xiao Yin nodded, her mechanical hand holding the piece of paper, and smiled with narrowed eyes. "You can see seventh-level Transcendent Spirits everywhere. That's a really accurate description. Even Xiao Yuan wouldn't dare to approach that kind of area easily. However, I'm afraid only eighth-level or even ninth-level Transcendent Spirits can establish a protective place in such a place. No wonder there aren't many plants there."

"

But for them, this is really not a problem.

"Won't it attract attention?" Shen Huang asked.

"It depends on how you use it. Generally, you won't," Xiao Yin said, shaking the rice bag with a smile. "This bag is the same size as the one used to store the white spirit rice, about the size of a palm. This means that this kind of spirit rice can be used as money. Whether we use it ourselves or have Yin Yueshu help us use it, as long as we don't tell anyone, who will know whether we grew it ourselves or obtained it through a trade?"

"That's true." Shen Huang nodded slightly.

This is the role of cash crops.

It wasn't meant for their own consumption, but rather to be exchanged for other things to accelerate the development of the Sanctuary.

Seeing that Xiao Yin had brought these superior seeds to the spirit fields that had already been cultivated, Shen Huang was filled with anticipation.

It's only been a month.

Actually, it wasn't that long. By the time the initial harvest began, the Sanctuary should have truly taken shape.

Shen Huang, filled with anticipation, also went to help.

The cultivation of this spirit rice is extremely simple. Just dig a small hole and put it in, spaced 20 centimeters apart. And you only need to put in one grain. Except for some special insects, you don't have to worry about it dying.

In this day and age, such spirit insects are rare.

They are unlikely to reappear unless they are planted on a large scale.

After all the seeds were planted, Xiao Wan had reached a conclusion.

"Each bag contains about three thousand seeds, and there are eight bags in total. We planted 24,000 seeds, and there is still half of the spiritual field we cultivated that has not been planted."

Having already obtained the general planting method, Xiao Yin only cultivated three plots, but unexpectedly, she still didn't use them all.

But it doesn't matter, the harvest is only once a month, so it's quick.

Once a seed is planted, it always gives people something to look forward to.

"Let's go, let's go cultivate." Shen Huang took one last look at the spirit fields, then left with a great sense of accomplishment.

These spiritual fields were also surrounded by temporary fences, making it difficult for people to see inside. Meanwhile, Shen Huang's first house was almost completed with a second floor.

The project was planned to have a total of four floors, which is the highest level that can be built with the current strength of cement, and it is sufficient for use.

Of course, the mansion was much larger than that.

The area surrounding it, roughly the size of two main stadiums, is under construction with walls. In addition to the planting area, it also includes warehouses and some of Xiao Yin's experimental areas.

"At this rate, the master will be able to move into the new home in at most another half month." Xiao Wan had obviously communicated the progress with Xiao Yin. "Some decoration materials and appliances will need to be brought over from the home planet by Shen Huang."

"Okay." Shen Huang nodded, but he also sighed with emotion.

Back when he first transmigrated, he lived in that dilapidated house and wilderness for about half a month.

This is indeed unbearable for a modern person.

Especially on the straw bed, it was almost impossible to fall asleep on the first few nights.

However, given the circumstances at that time, this was the least significant difficulty.

Unexpectedly, in just a month and a half, he was about to move into a four-story villa with an area of ​​300 square meters, and even a "yard" the size of two football fields.

Not only can all kinds of modern daily necessities be provided, but there will also be more people to serve you.

Such a difference was truly unimaginable back then.

However, these pleasures are insignificant compared to what is truly important. If you have free time to move things, just do it; if not, there's no need to worry too much.

"Let's continue our cultivation." Shen Huang walked to his current cultivation place.

This is the most important thing.

In the following days, Cui'er continued to send people over.

More than 220 people were transported for four consecutive days.

Every day, he was amazed by the changes within the territory. In the last two days, he stayed even longer, which made Shen Huang quite familiar with it.

Although she was a maid, her talent clearly surpassed that of the other two I saw that day.

According to her, she was born in an ordinary village under the name of a disciple of the Yin family. When she was eight years old, she was found to have good talent. Although her personality was unstable at the time and her talent was not yet finalized, she was still sent to the main family of the Yin family. When she was ten years old, she was sent to Yin Yueshu, who was already twelve years old and had shown her talent.

He was being groomed as a true confidant.

The title of maid was something she chose voluntarily.

"Even the maids of the Yin family are chosen for their exceptional talents from a young age." Shen Huang learned quite a bit about the Yin family from Cui'er.

Of course, all of these can be said to outsiders.

I have gained a considerable understanding of this family's power.

It's larger than expected.

But this is also a good thing.

After Cui'er finished sending the people away, the shelter returned to normal.

In his spare time from cultivation, Shen Huang also developed a new hobby: visiting the spirit rice plantation every day to check on the growth of the spirit rice.

He had never farmed before, not even plants flowers and grass, but now, watching the green shoots sprout and grow day by day, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

"Would you call this a bloodline awakening?" Shen Huang joked about himself occasionally, not feeling there was anything wrong with it.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another five days have passed.

Xiao Yin and the experts from the home planet have finally finalized the transformation plan for their new partner!
