Chapter 571: Strange Spiritual Plants

"Ji Zhi and Ji Kongkong didn't come?" Jiang Li and the other two walked in the Spiritual Plant Sect, visiting various strange spiritual plants.

"Ji Zhi said that he had already looked at it once in advance with his double pupils, so there was no need to do it again." Yu Yin said.

"Tsk, it's so great to know the art of time." Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu said in unison, expressing their disdain for Ji Zhi's knowledge of the art of time.

Yu Yin looked at the two people who were stubborn, but she was kind in her heart and did not expose them.

"The spiritual grains cultivated by the Lingzhi Sect are of great use to Jiuzhou. The yield has increased by 60% compared to hundreds of years ago, and it is resistant to drought, cold and lodging." Yu Yin was inspired as the three of them passed by a wheat field.

The Lingzhi Sect researched high-quality spiritual grains, and these three people made a lot of contributions behind the scenes.

Jiang Li proposed that the Lingzhi Sect research the Linggu, Bai Hongtu provide technical assistance, Yu Yin purchase the Linggu, and spread it in the Tianyuan Dynasty, promoting it for free.

The output of Jiuzhou Linggu has been increasing year by year, reaching a level that previous cultivators could not even imagine.

The three of them passed by a saltwater pool that was hundreds of meters deep, with spiritual grains planted at the bottom of the pool.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Li asked the disciple who surfaced.

The disciple frowned and said, "It's not a task assigned by the elders. They said that the Dragon Palace entrusted us to do a project and hoped that they could research spiritual grains that can be grown on the seabed of the four seas, so that they don't have to come to land to purchase. The elders gave me the task."

"Are there any results?"

"Yes, after three months of underwater experiments, I learned how to swim."

“…”

"Anyway, apart from this gain, I gained nothing."

"I have another senior brother who shares the same problem as me. The elders gave him the task of researching a spiritual grain that can grow in the far north."

"What's the use of this?"

"The monsters in the Far North gave us a commission. They said that there are few supplies and not enough food in the Far North. If things continue like this, they will kill each other and eventually die together."

"So how far has your senior brother's research progressed?"

"We have already gotten the monsters in the Far North to reach a preliminary cooperation to jointly solve the food problem. Senior Brother plans to persuade them to move away from the Far North and go wherever they want."

"...Your senior brother has some ideas." Yu Yin was powerless to complain.

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu looked at each other and didn't think there was anything wrong with this method.

Isn't this the first solution that a normal person would think of? The temperature in the far north is minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius all year round, and the soil is covered by a layer of ice thousands of meters thick. What kind of spiritual grain can grow there? The disciple sighed: "It's a pity that Senior Brother's method is not a reference. The Dragon Palace cannot be moved to land."

"Then how do you want to study this topic?" Jiang Li was not very familiar with cultivating spiritual plants.

"I want to surpass the elder as soon as possible and return the assignment to him." This disciple is full of fighting spirit, which is the motivation for his practice.

"I don't want to chat with you anymore. I have to hurry to grab a spot under the big banyan tree. If I go too late, I'll have to sit in the back row. I also want to sit in the front seat to get closer to Emperor Jiang."

The disciple said goodbye to Jiang Li and went to the big banyan tree to find the position closest to Jiang Renhuang.

"Watermelon hybrid experimental field?"

In front of Jiang Li was a watermelon field filled with all kinds of watermelons.

"Fellow Daoist from outside, are you interested in this watermelon field?" The old farmer sitting in the field greeted Jiang Li and others warmly when he saw them.

Jiang Li could tell that this was a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage, and was an elder-level figure in the Lingzhi Sect.

“I’ve never seen this place.”

"Then let me introduce you."

The old farmer picked up a watermelon with the rind covered with watermelon seeds. When he opened it, he found a red core without a single seed.

"This is a cross between watermelon and strawberry. Compared with the original seedless watermelon, you don't need to buy seeds separately, and the taste is more layered."

"There's only one problem at this point."

"What?"

"People with trypophobia will feel uncomfortable when they see watermelon rind, like this nun."

Yu Yin looked at the watermelon with disgust, then turned his head away.

The old farmer picked up another melon that looked normal on the outside, but when he opened it, it was filled with watermelon seeds.

"This is a cross between watermelon and dragon fruit. The watermelon seeds can be eaten after being dried."

"This is a cross between watermelon and coconut. It's all watermelon juice, so you don't have to squeeze the juice, but there are problems with it."

"What is it?"

"The watermelon rind is too hard to open unless you are at the foundation building stage, so there are often little guys at the Qi training stage who come to me to buy watermelons and transform them into hammer-type weapons."

"What's even more hateful is that Dao Sect's Weapon Refining Peak came to poach me, saying that I was wasting my talent in the Spiritual Plant Sect!" The old farmer was indignant. The watermelon he had worked so hard to grow became a weapon, so could he be blamed? It was all the watermelon's fault.

"Don't be modest. Your weapon refining skills are even higher than Jiang Li's. It's really rare. I can understand why the Weapon Refining Peak chose you." Bai Hongtu said.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

The old farmer shook his head and laughed, wondering how this could be possible.

Jiang Li really wanted to try whether Bai Hongtu could withstand his punch which contained full power.

Before leaving, the old farmer gave each of the three people a watermelon and asked them to promote the product when they returned.

The three of them agreed with a smile.

The three of them noticed a row of tree houses in front of them. A disciple of the Spiritual Plant Sect took out a seed, planted it on the ground, and muttered something. The seed absorbed spiritual energy and grew rapidly, becoming a big tree. Its branches intertwined to form an airtight house that could shelter it from wind and rain.

"I remember that this was the house tree that the Spiritual Plant Sect was going to launch. However, the growth of the tree required the 'Tree Planting Technique', which was difficult to master, so it has not been successfully promoted." Yu Yin had an impression of this new type of spiritual plant.

The disciples of the Spiritual Plant Sect were surprised. They didn't expect that outsiders also knew about their house trees. "Senior, you are very knowledgeable. This is our improved version of the house tree. It no longer requires the user to recite the "Tree Planting Technique."

A disciple of the Lingzhi Sect buried a seed, took out a recorder, injected spiritual energy into it, and the recorder automatically recited the "Tree Planting Secret". The seed was stimulated and grew into a house.

"This is a recorder developed in cooperation with the Bell World. It can recite a weakened version of the Tree Planting Technique. The growth rate of the house tree is twice as slow. However, this is not a battle, so there is no need to pursue speed."

"We have also developed house trees for long-term use and one-time use, corresponding to two usage modes at home and on vacation, which are absolutely environmentally friendly."

"We initially considered obtaining intellectual property certification in Da Zhou first, and then promoting the experiment in Da Zhou."

"I heard from the officials of Da Zhou that this matter is very troublesome."

"What's the trouble?"

"The Great Zhou is discussing whether to collect property taxes or to tax ordinary goods. The two groups of officials have big differences."

This is a problem that the Great Zhou often faces. Generally, when cultivators invent something new, they will come to the Great Zhou to test the waters. After the Great Zhou has thoroughly researched the thing, they will sell it to other dynasties.

Other dynasties would directly use the results of the Great Zhou's research. For example, the House Tree. The Great Zhou said it would collect property taxes, and other dynasties also learned to collect property taxes. The Great Zhou said it would collect ordinary goods taxes, and other dynasties would most likely collect property taxes.

But it is not ruled out that some dynasties collected taxes according to the highest tax rate.

"The three elders should be the guests invited by our Lingzhi Sect. It's getting late. If you have no place to sleep, you can stay overnight in my tree house."

The three of them all became interested in the house trees, and following the instructions of the Spiritual Plant Sect disciple, they entered a house tree and played poker for the entire night.

The next day, Jiang Li rushed to the big banyan tree and began to preach.

Yu Yin placed the Ruyi Gourd on her lap and listened to Jiang Li's lecture.

Bai Hongtu tore off the curse talisman and sat on it carelessly.

Next to "Whoever sits here is a puppy" he wrote a line of small words - "Except Bai Hongtu and dogs."

Turning into a dog is impossible. I think Mr. Bai is such a cautious person.
