Chapter 61 Chapter 61 A Good Harvest
"Good news, what good news?" Zhu Dan became interested. She liked good news the most.
The white snake had just confidently declared that it had good news, but now it hesitated to speak. Only after Zhu Dan repeatedly urged it did it say, "I seem to have an extra stomach?"
"What the hell?" Zhu Dan touched his chin. "I know you snakes have a very strong digestive ability."
She had read popular science materials that said snakes can eat food that exceeds their own body weight, and their stomachs will swell into a ball as they slowly digest the food.
And snakes, like bears, hibernate.
Zhu Dan was not very happy.
She promoted the white snake in order to make it grow so that she could cultivate more land, or at least no longer be so vulnerable when facing the semi-spiritual soil in this valley.
But if we only enhance the White Snake's ability to eat, it would be a huge loss.
Zhu Dan is not the type of person who would benefit others without benefiting herself, so she narrowed her eyes.
White Snake felt a chill in his heart. He no longer cared about his anxiety and quickly explained, "It's not a traditional stomach pouch. It's more like an extra empty space inside the original stomach."
"Empty house...portable space!" Zhu Dan was shocked and blurted out.
The white snake didn't quite understand and just stared at her. Snakes don't have eyelashes so they can't blink, so it was a bit scary to see that.
But Zhu Dan certainly wasn't afraid of her. He activated the contract between them and felt it for himself: "It really is a portable space!"
She pondered, "I remember back in the cultivation world, there were indeed some snake-like monsters that were born with their own companion spaces, but those were only those with extremely strong bloodlines and strong roots. I didn't expect you to have such an ability after your upgrade."
"But then again, the son of the White Emperor who was beheaded by Emperor Gaozu of Han couldn't be an ordinary snake."
The White Snake's intelligence has improved a lot compared to when it first made the contract with Zhu Dan. Now that it understood what was said, it was quite happy.
Who doesn’t like to have a great background?
Zhu Dan was already calculating: "I've looked at it. This portable space isn't very big. At best, it's a small house of 7 or 8 square meters."
This space is not as good as the alchemy furnace that has recovered a lot after being baptized by luck.
But just because it can’t hold too many things doesn’t mean it’s useless.
Zhu Dan made the decision and said, "When you go out and play in the future, if you come across something special, put it in the space and bring it back to me for identification. I will give you a base salary plus commission."
She explained the meaning of this calculation. Every time the White Snake goes out, she will have a fixed income regardless of whether she brings back anything useful.
And if the materials that Zhu Dan needs can be detected, then needless to say, the commission will increase rapidly.
As for the type of salary, Zhu Dan did not restrict the White Snake, and let it see what it wanted.
Space is a good thing, but Zhu Dan is not particularly interested in it. When she first entered the world of cultivation, she was indeed looking forward to the so-called portable space, but now she prefers her own natal treasure tripod, Tangyuan, which can be used to refine pills and store things.
Tangyuan sensed Zhu Dan's thoughts and raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.
She knew that she was the most important person in her master's heart.
White snake?
But just cats and dogs.
Of course, after the White Snake opened up this portable space, it was as if it had become a traveling frog. Zhu Dan was looking forward to what it would bring to him when it came back next time.
So she encouraged the white snake a lot before taking it to test the data after evolution.
The most important thing is the farmland data that Zhu Dan wants to see.
Zhu Dan was very satisfied with the final result. Whether it was gathering spiritual energy or dredging the earth's power, the level had increased at least five or six times compared to before the evolution.
With the blessing of the new white snake, both the valley and the experimental fields outside have experienced leapfrog growth.
Zhu Dan took the time to refine the harvest pills and scattered them in the fields in advance when he felt that they were about to bloom.
Zhu Dan had the sand table pill made with Zhang Liang's luck in her hand. Strictly speaking, if she needed to, she could call the wind and rain in Pei County.
However, Zhu Dan thought about it and decided not to do so.
Labor is cheap now, and spreading the diluted harvest medicine liquid into the fields is not a hassle at all, and it can also provide jobs.
As for the sand table pills, it is necessary to store a few more.
If there are natural disasters such as heavy rain or drought, the sand table pill will come in handy.
After watering the experimental fields outside, Zhu Dan returned to the valley. His original intention was to repeat the same process, but suddenly he had an idea.
Ever since arriving in Daqin and observing the thin spiritual energy here, she has never thought of using magic again, and she is really itching to do it.
Now, with the blessing of the natural formation, the spiritual energy in the valley is gathered together and not dispersed. With the diligent help of the white snake, compared with the outside world, it can barely be called abundant.
Zhu Dan had stored a large amount of spiritual energy in the alchemy furnace, so perhaps it would be possible to use the lowest level of the Spiritual Rain Technique.
The spiritual rain summoned by the Spiritual Rain Technique is already very beneficial to plants. If the Harvest Pill is integrated into this spiritual rain, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Zhu Dan did it without hesitation. He sat cross-legged on the ground, expanded his consciousness and connected with the spiritual energy of the place.
It had been a long time since Zhu Dan had felt such a sense of joy. He was completely absorbed in it. He was unknowingly sinking deeper and deeper into it, until his consciousness touched the barriers on all sides, and he suddenly realized that he had reached the edge of the formation.
"Wait a minute! Isn't the edge of the formation..." Zhu Dan reacted with shock on his face.
The edge of the formation is the wall of the valley. How can the divine consciousness cover the entire valley?
"This, this..." Zhu Dan was unbelievable.
You have to know that her spiritual consciousness has always been suppressed. It was the worst when she first came. It was firmly suppressed in her body and could not spread out at all.
As she gradually takes root here, makes more contributions to Daqin, and gains more luck, she will be able to extend her influence to a wider area.
But this wider range also has its limits. At this time, it is not the suppression of the laws of nature in this world, but the limitation of spiritual power.
It’s like it’s difficult to build signal towers in remote areas, so the network is often disconnected and information cannot be refreshed at all.
Zhu Dan seemed to understand something: "So it's because the spiritual energy here is more abundant, so my spiritual sense can extend out and cover the entire valley?"
This guess was very reasonable. Zhu Dan couldn't help but smile. Perhaps she could relive some memories of the cultivation world through this valley.
Thinking of this, she pinched the Lingyu Jue.
Because his spiritual awareness was spreading in all directions, that extraordinary control power returned. Zhu Dan quickly calculated the cost of summoning a spiritual rain: "It's still a bit difficult, but it won't hurt to do it once in a while."
She had originally planned to use this valley as a place to cultivate new species, but now, she felt that her expectations for spiritual plants might need to be raised a bit.
How could a dozen or so plants be enough? Just divide half of the soil to plant them.
The spiritual rain continued to fall, but Zhu Dan did not notice the shocked expressions of Liu Ji, Xiao He and others who were watching. His spiritual consciousness spread into the soil.
She wanted to see the effect of Lingyu + Fengshoudan, but at this moment, a voice interrupted Zhu Dan's thoughts.
"Mr. Zhu, those experimental fields outside..." It turned out to be Yun Qiu.
It was rare for her to lose her composure, because the valley was far away in the mountains and it was not possible to take a car, so she ran here panting.
Even though she had deliberately exercised after following Zhu Dan, she was still very tired and couldn't say the rest of the words for a while.
Zhu Dan's originally smug expression suddenly changed, and he quickly asked, "What happened to the experimental field?"
Although Zhu Dan now values this valley more, she has also carefully cultivated the experimental fields outside, and is waiting for a good harvest in half a month.
If something happened at this critical moment, Zhu Dan would be so upset that he would vomit to death.
Yun Qiu took several deep breaths, finally catching his breath, and said loudly, "Mr. Zhu, the crops in those fields are ripe. It's a great harvest!"
Zhu Dan's eyes lit up. The harvest pills had ripened half a month earlier than expected after being watered?
I didn’t expect that the Harvest Pill has such benefits!
Zhu Dan's thoughts immediately developed. If the ripening period could be shortened, wouldn't it mean that even in areas without favorable conditions, having two or three harvests a year would no longer be a dream?
Of course, the entire Daqin area is too large. It is impossible to expect her to extend her spiritual consciousness and perform a satisfying spiritual rain unless the spiritual energy revives in the future.
Only the revival of spiritual energy can produce high-quality medicinal materials and then radiate to all parts of the country.
Otherwise, the amount of pills alone would be too much.
However, Zhu Dan's thoughts shifted to the technological level: if this short-term maturation could be engraved into genes, through grafting and hybridization, and then using elixirs, such as Xiahou Ying's breeding pills, to strengthen this gene generation after generation...
"Hahaha!" Zhu Dan's smile turned into a hearty laugh.
This prospect is really wonderful.
Yun Qiu was slightly stunned, but quickly regained her composure. Zhu Sheng was always like this, so she must have gained something in some way, and she couldn't interrupt her inspiration.
When Zhu Dan's laughter subsided, she said softly, "Because the crops in those experimental fields are somewhat unusual, I've ordered Jiawei and his officers to look after them. Mr. Zhu, would you like to go and see them now, or should we rest for a while?"
"Of course I'll go and see it now."
What rest? She doesn't need it. Letting her see her achievements as soon as possible is the best mental massage for her.
Zhu Dan glanced at the valley and told the guards left behind to take strict precautions and not let anyone in, then he hurriedly left with Yun Qiu.
She didn't need to pack any luggage. All her important belongings were placed in the alchemy furnace and she took it with her wherever she went.
When Zhu Dan and his team were rushing to the experimental field, Lu Zhi, who was currently in charge of the experimental field project, was already there.
She was inspecting a soybean field when the crops suddenly ripened.
Ever since she took up her current position as the manager and managed experimental questions for the national teacher, this feeling of shock has been with her all the time, coming from time to time.
For example, special herbicide liquids, plants that attract insects, fertilizers used at different stages... After such a series of tricks, these soybean plants actually grew above her head?!
Of course, in addition to soybeans, there are some other crops that also show amazing characteristics, but Lu Zhi doesn't recognize them. She is most familiar with soybeans and corn.
Not to mention soybeans, she has been working in the fields for many years and has never seen any grain or vegetable seeds behave like this.
It's really pitiful to say, perhaps because they have been domesticated by humans, these seeds that are beneficial to humans cannot grow as well as weeds.
Any shrub in the wild may exceed it, but those that are properly planted and carefully raised on human land are no exception.
Lu Zhi was not a time traveler from later times, otherwise she would be even more shocked.
She knew that this was the magical method of the national teacher, and she always believed in it, but precisely because she didn't know much, she could still remain calm.
Anyone from the future who comes here will be shocked.
But what surprised Lu Zhi more at this moment was that she had just witnessed a miraculous scene:
The bean pods wrapped in the leaves suddenly popped out in just a few nights, and then quickly turned from green to yellow. Some beans burst out, and some were still barely hanging on the branches, but they were already completely yellow and would fall to the ground with just a slight touch.
The speed is so fast that it seems as if time is accelerating for them.
Beans that were larger than grapes fell to the ground with a crackling sound. When Lu Zhi finally realized what was happening, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She thought: The harvest issue that the national teacher was worried about has been solved.
They are not harvesting beans now, but picking beans in the fields. Being short is no longer a problem. On the contrary, being shorter is more popular as they don't have to bend over.
