Chapter 60 Planting Blood Essence Rice

There are many tasks hanging in the External Affairs Hall.

For example, investigating strange phenomena in a certain place, dealing with strange beasts that appear in a certain place, or hunting down a vicious criminal in the outside world of martial arts, etc.

However, these tasks do not seem to bring any benefits; instead, they are more like training and rewards for the disciples in the temple.

Too,

With a size like that of Shengji Sect, it would not have to rely on exploiting the lower-level disciples to obtain resources.

However, Yang Qingyun did not think too much about it.

In the near future, he has no plans to go out, but instead plans to rely on the spiritual energy in Changchun Temple to improve his cultivation as much as possible.

After all, no matter what, he is only in the Body Tempering Stage, which is only the second level of martial arts.

After some investigation, Yang Qingyun finally set his sights on a certain task.

Task:

Reclamation and planting of one acre of blood-essence rice near the vein mouth of the back mountain of Changchun Temple, and hand in fifty kilograms of blood-essence rice after two months.

Reward: Five Yuanshi.

Requirements: Tempering Body Realm. (Note: If the final harvest of Blood Essence Valley is less than 50 kilograms, the task accepter needs to use the reward to make up the difference. If there is any surplus, it can be sold to the canteen or kept by oneself.) "It turned out to be Blood Essence Rice. It seems that the Blood Essence Rice that began to appear and become popular after the revival of spiritual energy in the previous life was not accidental. The existence of a higher-level force has long controlled these means of production."

Yang Qingyun thought to himself.

Yang Qingyun recognized the Blood Essence Rice. It was a kind of extraordinary plant. The Blood Essence Rice grown from it contained extremely powerful essence, which could greatly assist the practice of warriors.

After the revival of spiritual energy in the previous life, crops such as blood-essence rice began to appear in the martial arts world and became popular.

He ate a lot at that time.

At that time, he thought that this was a species brought by the invasion of the Xuantian Realm, or a new variety of rice produced by the mutation of rice absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth revived.

Unexpectedly, it turns out that this kind of thing has already existed.

It’s just that my level in my previous life was too low and I couldn’t access it at all.

"Although I didn't plant it myself in my previous life, I learned roughly how to plant it from the people around me during the turbulent times."

"Moreover, after several years of popularization, many people have already figured out more advanced cultivation methods. With that knowledge, this mere blood-essence rice will definitely not be a problem!"

Yang Qingyun said confidently in his heart.

So he pointed to the rice planting task to the person in charge of the External Affairs Hall, bowed to him and said, "Brother, I want to take this task."

"Brother, are you sure you want to take this mission?"

The manager of the External Affairs Hall, who was originally sorting out the accounts, looked up and saw that it was a heavier task of blood essence rice, and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, what's wrong with this mission, brother?"

Yang Qingyun frowned slightly, somewhat confused.

"Oh, no, it's okay. Junior brother has good vision. You can get five Yuanshi by completing this task. This can be said to be the highest reward among the tasks required by the Tempering Body Realm!"

"What's more, if you grow well and exceed the yield, the rest will be yours!"

The man immediately smiled and spoke in a voice of approval.

"Brother, I was a little stunned just now, but it was because the task of farming the fields was considered humiliating by the disciples in the temple, so few people accepted it, so I didn't react for a while."

"Junior brother, you can tell from the first glance that he is someone who can endure hardships. No matter how you look at him, there is nothing wrong with him."

The person in charge explained again and again, but this made Yang Qingyun look a little suspicious.

However, before Yang Qingyun could say he would think about it, the senior brother immediately asked Yang Qingyun's name and asked him to check the box for the task.

At the same time, he swiftly found a booklet and a bag of grain seeds and stuffed them into Yang Qingyun's hands.

"These are the various precautions for growing blood-essence rice. Junior brother, you can take a look. The seeds are also here. As for the farming tools, they are in the rice field area on the back mountain. Junior brother, just take them with you."

"Two months later, when the blood essence rice is ready for harvest, someone will come to harvest it. Junior Brother, you just need to hand it over to the other party."

After saying that, he quickly asked Yang Qingyun to leave.

It seemed as if he was afraid that Yang Qingyun would change his mind in the end.

Yang Qingyun walked out of the Foreign Affairs Hall with a bag of grain seeds and planting instructions, his eyes a little confused.

"Is there a trap here?"

He muttered something.

But in the end, he shook his head and threw away the worries in his mind.

"Forget it. In my previous life, even mortal farmers could grow this kind of blood-essence rice. It doesn't make sense that I would have any problems now that I'm already in the Body Tempering Stage!"

"With the memories of my past life, nothing should go wrong."

After that,

Then he walked towards the back mountain of Changchun Temple in three or two steps.

What Yang Qingyun didn’t know was that after he left, the man in the External Affairs Hall wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Finally, this annoying task has been assigned to someone else."

One day later,

In an open space covered with weeds, Yang Qingyun held the hoe made of fine steel tightly and swung it again and again.

Dang, dang, dang. Every time the hoe was struck, a crisp sound like the collision of metal was produced, which echoed around the open space.

Until a moment later,

Yang Qingyun, who had just finished hoeing a row of land with great difficulty, stopped, breathing heavily, sweating profusely, and his palms turned red and hot.

"Damn it, no wonder no one wants to take on this mission. This is simply not something that ordinary people can do!"

He stood aside, leaning on a hoe, gritting his teeth.

It turns out that

He was overthinking it.

Yang Qingyun only remembered that after the revival of spiritual energy, blood-essence rice began to become popular, and even mortal farmers would plant some to assist themselves or their children in their cultivation.

So I think this task shouldn't be difficult.

But he forgot one thing, the environment is different! Now is before the spiritual energy revived, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth cannot support the growth of blood rice, so the fields for planting it must be cultivated near the earth veins.

However, the soil near the earth veins, because of the erosion of the earth veins' essence, will solidify and become as hard as a whole piece of stone!

This means that without a certain level of strength, it is impossible to grow the Blood Essence Rice!

No wonder the mission requirements state that one must be at the Body Tempering Realm or above.

I'm afraid that below the Body Tempering Stage,

Even the land nearby that was washed by the earthquake pulses could not be plowed!

"I thought that guy's attitude seemed a little off. So this is the reason!"

Yang Qingyun said helplessly.

As expected, there is no such thing as a free lunch. One careless mistake led to a big pit! Fortunately, it is not without benefits. Because of the long-term erosion of the earth's essence, Yang Qingyun can feel that practicing here is a little faster than practicing in the dormitory.

It has many benefits for cultivation.

"Well, being in such an environment is a small benefit compared to being outside. Besides, doing more exercise can further refine my Qi and blood."

"Just think of it as a rather tiring practice!"

Yang Qingyun gritted his teeth, raised the hoe high, and continued to struggle with the ground as hard as stone.
