Chapter 24: Digging the Mountain and Giving Spirits

Brother Ye is back to school and is so excited.

The mushroom trading at home has also formed a process, and the mini program is also ready. Detailed information and prices are provided for each type of mushroom. Dad Ye is responsible for recording the mushroom production every day, and Grandma Ye leads the village aunts to pack them.

Ye Zhen bought himself a printer. He found it troublesome to borrow a car every time, so he just bought two pickup trucks.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Ye can drive, and they drive mushrooms to the town every day to mail them.

The mini program is really convenient and it freed Ye Zhen’s eyes.

She sent the links to the fresh fruit and vegetable group, and just checked the backend regularly every day.

She estimated that the mushrooms could still be sold for a while, but the house was very messy every day, so if she wanted to grow anything, she would have to wait.

Her cultivation was too slow, and relying solely on planting ordinary seeds to gain spiritual energy feedback was not enough. If she wanted to make further progress, she had to buy more precious and rare tree species.

Ye Zhen did some searching and found that many expensive tree species were endangered species. She considered herself a law-abiding citizen and did not dare to dig them up randomly.

The main reason is that she doesn't have the resources to ask others for saplings.

She must first provide protection for her family.

The life span of mortals' birth, aging, illness and death is only a hundred years. Ye Zhen cannot guarantee that he can build the foundation, form the golden elixir and reach the Nascent Soul of his previous life with the current thin level of spiritual energy.

But regardless of whether her cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage, she will have a lifespan of 300 years when she reaches the Qi Refining stage.

It was impossible for her to go out to work, so she could only improve her family's life as much as possible.

But no matter what, money is the first factor.

Money can buy all kinds of expensive and rare seeds, and can provide security for the family, but relying on the current small-scale efforts is too slow.

Take action when you think about it.

If you want to farm, you always have to look at your own land. After two days of strong sunshine, the mud that was wet by the rain in the previous few days has evaporated and become dry and hard.

The mushroom business was suspended for a while, and the fruit trees transported back by Ye Zhen continued to produce, and the mini program was still full of orders.

Walking on the mud, Ye Zhen took his father to the back mountain for a tour.

The mountain is not very high, and there are many wild bamboos growing underneath. Except for half of the wild small tea oil trees, the rest of the foot of the mountain is occupied by wild bamboos.

By now the bamboos had grown tall and tangled, with not even a place to step on.

Bamboo roots are overbearing, with tangled roots underneath. If they grow too much, they will squeeze out the growth of other plants.

Ye Zhen walked around the periphery of the bamboo. There were mainly two types of bamboos, one was the hemp bamboo shoots and the other was the water bamboo shoots.

By the way, there are also thunder shoots in the village...

The raw materials for Grandma Ye’s dried and pickled bamboo shoots are picked and brought home from here.

"Dad, let's dig up all these bamboos. They take up too much space."

If left alone, a mountain will be covered with bamboo sooner or later.

"Hiss! I'm afraid we need to call in an excavator. It will take who knows how long it will take to finish the work by hand." Dad Ye gave objective advice.

"Go ahead and dig. Don't delay your farming time."

One day earlier you can plant more plants.

Once Ye Zhen makes a decision, the Ye family will generally not stop him.

The next day, Ye's father called the town's excavator. The excavator was heavy, and the road was sunk into gullies.

The excavator was indeed moving very fast. All the soil and bamboo roots underneath were dug out and piled into small hills.

These bamboos will not be wasted. They can be spread out and exposed to the sun for a few days. Once the moisture is dried, they can become a pile of good firewood for burning and cooking.

The bamboo digging was quite a big deal, and some villagers came over to watch.

The bamboo has been growing for many years, and Ye Zhen did not expect that there would be surprises inside.

"Ouch! There's one here, hurry! It's going to run away!"

Some villagers were watching the fun, and they saw the excavator digging up the soil, and suddenly a nest of animals that looked like big rats jumped out.

One of the well-informed villagers shouted: "There are bamboo rats here!"

"Where? Where!" Upon hearing this, many villagers ran over, raised their heads and stared into the bamboo forest with their eyes wide open.

Bamboo rats are delicious! The meat is tender and fragrant, but they are difficult to catch.

Some villagers who had eaten bamboo rats gave up their jobs and came over to look for them.

"There's more, it ran out!"

"Haha! I caught it!"

Some villagers were quick-witted and went home to get their tools and followed the excavator waiting for an opportunity.

The bamboo rats had their nests dug out by a machine-driven iron rake and were frightened and ran around in panic. Some of them fled into traps and were caught by the villagers of Shanbei Village who had been waiting there.

The villagers who caught the bamboo rat were overjoyed and shook the sack proudly, while the bamboo rat inside kept struggling.

Ye Zhen's family doesn't eat this stuff much. Although this mountain was allocated to her family, the bamboo forest grows wild. In the past, they would not stop villagers from digging bamboo shoots, but this will not be allowed in the future.

At the moment, Ye Zhen has not figured out how to block the foot of the mountain so that no one will notice anything unusual inside.

Earthen wall? Looking at the undulating foot of the mountain, he shook his head and denied it. Iron wall? Even worse, Ye Zhen continued to deny it. The foot of the mountain spread too far and was too expensive!

A fence? That's a good idea. It's cheap. But what should I use to fence? Ye Zhen didn't have any idea for a moment.

Forget it, let me finish the work at hand first.

In this way, piece after piece of wild bamboo was almost dug up. Ye Zhen asked the excavator master to leave a small piece, ready to keep it for pulling bamboo shoots later.

There were still some broken roots of lettuce in the mud. It was not a big deal, so Ye Zhen picked them all up by himself.

The bamboos in the lower half had been dug up, leaving the other half of the mountain covered with weeds and various oil teas. Ye Zhen did not move for the time being.

While there was still moisture in the soil and it was still loose, I planted some saplings I bought from the farmers' market.

These seedlings are all old varieties with stable genes, which are suitable for her to cultivate new varieties in the early stage.

For several days in a row, Ye Zhen ran to the mountains during the day. His spiritual planting skills were powerful, and these primitive old species gradually changed.

Some fruit trees have directly mutated. The flowers that bloom are more fragrant and colorful. Some of the fruit-bearing seedlings have grown more seeds that are unpalatable and sour. Some seedlings have changed positively, and the fruits are large and full, some are moist and juicy, and some are sweet, fragrant and delicate.

Eliminate some failed seedlings and replant the next generation of good seedlings to continue to empower them.

Planting spirits and breeding, giving life to spirits

Good seedlings are cultivated generation after generation, and inferior seeds are removed as soon as they are discovered...

After a period of breeding, the wild bamboo forest that had been dug up was replanted with various large and small seedlings.

Among them are newly cultivated medicinal herbs, new varieties of fruits, and beautiful flowers of various colors...

Of course, whether they can transform from mortal species to spiritual species depends on their growth.

Ye Zhen watched with satisfaction as his cultivation level grew as he nurtured new plants.

In other words, she is the only spiritual plant master in this world. The plant species in the native world are diverse, and most of them are different from those in the world of immortal cultivation, which allows her to find loopholes.

In other words, without competition from other spiritual plant masters, Ye Zhen relies on cultivating these ordinary plants one by one. No matter how many useful new varieties she can cultivate, even if they are ordinary species, as long as quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, her cultivation level will likely improve.

Great news!!
