Chapter 218 I'm Not in the Mood

In the city halfway up the mountain, smoke was rising from every household, and even the wind on the mountainside was filled with the sweet aroma of fish.

The sound of children's laughter echoed from the valley to the mountain top.

Xiaoqing hummed a song and walked into the temple with a smile on her face. She knelt on the mat and kowtowed to the statue three times sincerely before she stood up to clean the temple. She kept talking as if she was chatting with someone:

"Master Lei Shen, it's been a long time since we caught so many fish."

"We can't finish it! They are going to smoke it and leave it there."

"We haven't been this happy in Banshan City for a long time!"

“…”

You can see that she is very happy, she keeps talking.

Xiaoqing first said that no one had starved to death in the city in the past two months.

He also said that the neighborhood kids had just stuffed two pieces of meat into his mouth on the street. They were sticky but tasted delicious.

The words are confusing and there is no point.

Zheng Faben was checking the heavenly merit points in the Book of Conferred Gods.

In the past three days, Tiangong points have risen a lot and have exceeded three thousand points.

One was that he gave the valley three days of sunny days according to the "weather forecast" in the Book of the Gods.

Another reason is that the people in Banshan City were really hungry in the first half of the month, and many frail elderly people might not be able to hold on any longer.

The fish and shrimp harvested in these three days may have saved many lives.

Adding the two together, the Heavenly Power Points increase faster than being struck by heavenly lightning.

While calculating, he listened to Xiaoqing's words, and couldn't help feeling a little relieved.

Then Xiaoqing continued:

"But they don't dare to eat too much. I heard from Sister Hong that they plan to smoke and dry the fish and keep it in a safe place. It will be fine to eat it for half a year."

Zheng Fa was stunned and couldn't help but think of the bacon at home.

Pickled during the Chinese New Year, one piece of meat can be eaten for half a year...

Xiaoqing's mouth is still chattering:

"They said they would send it to you first when it's ready."

Zheng Fa didn't know what to say: "Didn't I say I don't want any offerings?"

"I told you." Xiao Qing was also a little depressed: "But if they don't give this, what else can they give?"

“…”

Outside the door, there were sounds of dense footsteps.

There were a dozen more people outside the temple gate, carrying a dozen bamboo baskets filled with dried fish.

I don’t know whether they understand that Zheng Fa likes quietness or they are afraid that Xiao Qing will reject them.

A group of people put down their bamboo baskets, kowtowed twice outside the temple gate and ran away.

No one gave Xiaoqing a chance to speak.

"Master Thunder God..." Xiao Qing stared blankly at the bamboo basket on the ground, mouth wide open: "This..."

She walked over and looked at the dried fish in the basket one by one:

"They brought the biggest fish to you, sir..."

"They delivered at least 30% of the fish we caught in the past three days..."

"This... Master, should I still give it to those grandfathers?"

Zheng Fa pondered for a moment and said to Xiao Qing, "Give some of it to them, and for the other part, I have something for you to do."

"Master, what do you want?"

"Go find a few people who are most familiar with mountain mushrooms. I want to ask them something."

Xiaoqing walked away in a daze.

Zheng Fa looked at her receding back, thinking about his own plan - in order to obtain Tiangong points, in addition to mastering the remaining two types of thunder techniques, the next step was to nourish the people.

If it were other cultivators, they would probably focus on thinking about immortal techniques.

But Zheng Fa had long realized that in addition to the magic, directly developing productivity could greatly change the lives of this group of people.

Even now he needs a large amount of Tiangong points, so of course he has to master the thunder method.

But Zheng Fa does not intend to give up this idea.

He once consulted Mr. Tian in modern times. In a place like Banshan City, it is rainy, humid and has little sunshine, so farming is not very successful.

However, the infrastructure of Mid-Levels City is too poor, and it is difficult to promote any high-cost industry.

As for the other places where he was enfeoffed, they were worse than Banshan City.

There is a technology that can be developed according to local conditions - edible fungus farming.

Edible fungus cultivation is actually not a very new technology. There are some corresponding records in ancient books, but the yield is extremely low.

Soon, Xiaoqing found several men in the city. They were all veterans who were used to picking mountain products and were very familiar with the types and habits of mushrooms in the mountains.

After asking a few questions, Zheng Fa ordered them to find some rotten wood growing mushrooms, and also asked them to find some sawdust and grass.

Xiaoqing and everyone else didn't quite understand what Lord Thunder God wanted to do, but they all did as he asked.

Zheng Fa thought about what Teacher Tian said.

In fact, the biggest differences between ancient and modern edible fungus cultivation technology are in two aspects: one is the strain purification technology.

One is a sterile environment.

If these two are not properly controlled, they will produce miscellaneous bacteria and reduce the yield of edible fungi.

Zheng Fa asked them to put the wood chips and fodder into a dozen pottery jars according to different types and place them in front of the statue.

This is the most basic culture medium that Teacher Tian taught him.

Zheng Fa asked Xiaoqing and the others to leave first. His spiritual power followed the trajectory of the clouds, rain and thunder, and emitted an ultraviolet beam towards the pile of pottery jars.

Of course, Mid-Levels doesn’t have sterilization technology…

But today's Yunyulei can emit lasers!

Bacterial strain purification requires more modern methods, but the main method is to use microscopes to select the most suitable strains:

Coincidentally, Zheng Fa also has a Dongxu Spirit Eye!

Even if other bacteria appear, Zheng Fa can kill them in time.

"You guys divide these fish, and don't go near this place, Xiaoqing."

What Zheng Fa has to do now is to see which culture medium works best and select the most productive strain.

Xiaoqing and others left the temple in a daze.

"Xiao Qing, what does this Master Thunder God want to do?"

Xiao Qing didn't quite understand it either. After thinking hard for a long time, he suddenly clapped his hands and said, "My grandfather said that the Thunder God will open the door!"

"Bless the mushrooms?" The bystanders were stunned: "What can you do?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"How should I know?"

"What about the light?"

"That light cannot be seen by mortals!"

Xiaoqing argued convincingly.

Don't talk about that person.

Zheng Fa felt that what she said made sense...

…

There are a lot more monks in the Treasure Hall these days.

They were talking while looking at the spiritual materials on the jade stele.

"If it weren't for this Hundred Treasures Hall, where I could exchange some spiritual materials, I would have left Tianbei."

"Who says it's not true? With those two here, do we still have a share of this monument?"

"Don't talk about us. Didn't you see that Yan Wushuang didn't come this time? I'm afraid he was hit by Fairy Lingye and Zheng Fa."

After hearing this, everyone nodded.

This time when someone entered the Heavenly Monument, they discovered that Yan Wushuang was not there at all.

There are rumors that Yan Wushuang has given up the Heavenly Monument.

"What do those geniuses have to do with us? I have finally saved up a hundred days of power after several months of hard work." A man shook his head and said, "It's not a loss to exchange it for a ten-year purple electric flower."

"I have more Heavenly Power. If I save up 120, I can exchange it for a piece of Lightning Struck Wood."

"The Tiangong points required for the Lightning Strike Wood are quite expensive. Junior Brother, if you want to practice the treasure, I recommend this one to you. It can also save you ten Tiangong points."

Because there was no competition, the relationship between these people became very harmonious. They discussed with each other and thought about how to save Tiangong points and exchange them for more spiritual materials they needed.

A figure walked in from outside the hall.

As soon as everyone stopped talking, they all looked at the person who came.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Xiao Yuying? Xiao Yuying didn't cut in line, but waited behind them, as if she was ready to wait until they finished exchanging before exchanging spiritual materials.

But she was already at the Nascent Soul stage and was well-known, so the people in front of her didn't dare to delay and quickly exchanged for the spiritual materials they wanted and gave their seat to Xiao Yuying.

Xiao Yuying nodded at them, walked to the front of the jade stele, and began to browse the types of spiritual materials, as if thinking about what she should exchange for the Tiangong points.

The other monks looked at each other, stopped and looked at her curiously.

She didn't care, she just moved her fingers around on the jade stele, sometimes stopping on this spiritual material, sometimes stopping on that spiritual material, as if she was thinking about which one to choose, as if she had difficulty making decisions.

But there was an inexplicable sense of enjoyment and obsession in her expression, as if she would spend a long time looking at each spiritual material, and she was calculating every heavenly power point carefully.

She had a lot of natural skills and was slow in choosing, so it took her a long time.

The cultivators at the side watched with a sour feeling in their hearts - with so many people, the spiritual materials they could exchange for were less than half of what Xiao Yuying could...

When Zheng Fa walked into the Treasure Hall, Xiao Yuying was still hesitating between the two spiritual materials.

Zheng Fa glanced at her, then looked at the several monks beside him, bowed to them, and waited behind Xiao Yuying.

He was very familiar with the expression on Xiao Yuying's face. She was the kind of woman who would spend a long time browsing on a shopping app, looking at eight hundred sets of clothes, but in the end didn't buy any.

They probably like this process...

After a long time, Xiao Yuying still hadn't decided which one to change. She seemed a little embarrassed and turned to Zheng Fa and said, "You go first."

"It's okay, I'll just wait."

"I need to think about it again." Xiao Yuying insisted: "No time to waste."

Zheng Fa nodded gratefully to Xiao Yuying and said, "Then I'll do it as soon as possible."

Everyone watched him walk to the jade stele.

Zheng Fa first selected two spiritual materials needed to practice the secret method of "Shenxiao Yulei Zhenfa".

Then, Zheng Fa turned the jade stele to the first page, which was the page with the cheapest spiritual materials, and pointed at every page from top to bottom without missing a single one.

He now wants to grow his own hibiscus tree, and Lei Tian needs a large amount of spiritual materials - he is not picky at all, he buys whatever is large and cheap.

There is a kind of heroic gesture in his action, as if he were going to a restaurant and asking the waiter to cook him a dish.

Behind him, Xiao Yuying watched this scene and her lips gradually pursed.

Several monks on the side were stunned to see Zheng Fa's actions, and then seeing Xiao Yuying's sour face, they looked at each other and suddenly felt much better:

We are jealous, and Fairy Lingye is jealous too, so aren't we on the same level as Fairy Lingye?

Zheng Fa quickly selected the spiritual materials, turned his head and smiled at Xiao Yuying, "I'm done, Fairy Xiao, you come."

Xiao Yuying looked at him silently and randomly tapped the Heavenly Monument with her finger.

He muttered, "I'm not in the mood anymore."
