Chapter 22: Immortal Cultivation Greenhouse Technology Wei Mubai glanced at the two of them...
Wei Mubai glanced at the two of them and said, "Their aptitude is too poor, and their cultivation is too low to practice high-level formations."
"We have elixirs," Xu Hui said with a smile. The cultivation level can be piled up, but the key is the technique passed down from ancestors!
Wei Mubai nodded slightly, "Then take it. I can still afford this amount of medicine."
The two brothers were completely bewildered, not understanding how they had gone from being prisoners to becoming disciples of the Wei family?
But they acted decisively, knelt down and kowtowed. It didn't matter if they didn't understand, they would just hold on to the golden thigh first.
That is the Wei family, one of the top ten aristocratic families. Being able to become a menial disciple is a blessing that many people cannot achieve!
The two brothers are surnamed Xu, one is called Xu Haoying and the other is called Xu Haojie. They are natives of Quxian City. Their parents are both cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. They also have a younger sister who is just six years old this year.
Their spiritual roots are not good enough, they all have four spiritual roots. They have participated in the recruitment trial, but unfortunately they were eliminated. They have no choice but to rely on going out to collect resources or refining formations to make a living.
The Xu family had an ancestor who was a cultivator at the foundation-building stage. He obtained a unique array-refining hand technique in a secret realm.
When others refine array plates, they can only follow the steps and refine the corresponding items according to the materials used.
This hand gesture can modify the function of the formation according to requirements, but their cultivation is too low, one is at the third level of Qi Refining Stage, and the other is at the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage. They can only increase the effect of the formation a little, or make some harmless improvements. It is indeed more useful than others, but not much better.
But Xu Hui felt that if their cultivation level improved and they practiced more often, they would be able to modify the functions of the formation according to the desired effect.
She didn't want anything else, it's just that the growing environment of each medicinal plant is different, and she wanted to use the formation to provide the corresponding environment.
This is the inspiration given to her by modern vegetable greenhouses, which can be achieved through high technology.
In the world of cultivation, it should be possible through the means of cultivating immortals!
Her bold idea shocked the Xu Haoying brothers. They were stunned and shocked, but they also felt that it might be possible!
"Then..." They stuttered, unable to recover for a moment.
"You have two choices," Wei Mubai said decisively. "First, offer the hand seal, and the Wei family will accept you as outer disciples. Your parents and sister, too, will enjoy the same treatment as outer disciples, and I will reward you with 200,000 points. Second, become my menial disciples, and I will feed you with elixirs until you have established your foundation and formed your elixir. After that, you will refine array plates as required, and you can hand in part of them to complete the task, and redeem part of them for points."
These two methods have their pros and cons. First, if they hand in the methods, the Wei family will definitely arrange a large number of weapon refiners to refine suitable array plates, and they will basically not be needed.
But the whole family are outer disciples of the Wei family, and they receive a lot of resources every month, which is enough for them to practice to the foundation-building stage and even the golden elixir stage.
And those 200,000 points are even more incredible. In the big families, using points to exchange for supplies is several times cheaper than outside.
For example, a heaven-level technique might not be purchased with 100,000 high-grade spirit stones outside, because it is nowhere to be found. However, in an aristocratic family, it can be exchanged for 10,000 points.
Of course, you can only learn it by yourself and cannot pass it on to outsiders.
The Mahayana cultivator sword techniques and life-saving magic weapons that Xu Hui obtained cannot be bought outside, but the aristocratic families can exchange them with points, but it only costs 6,000 points.
In other words, the purchasing power of 200,000 points is amazing, and even if they are piled up, they can push their family of five to the Golden Core stage or above.
The salary of outer disciples is already generous, and one month's income is equivalent to two years' income from setting up stalls. In addition, as their cultivation level improves, they also refine their own formation plates and exchange them for points, which should make a lot of money.
If the Wei family succeeds in using formations to grow spiritual plants, they will naturally need a steady supply of formation plates, which will also be a stable source of income.
Therefore, although the first choice may seem to put them at a disadvantage, it can ensure that the Taoists before reaching the Nascent Soul stage are honest.
As for the second option, the refining method is to keep it secret, so that only their family knows how to make it. After refining the array plate, they sell it to the Wei family. The price will definitely be higher, but there is a prerequisite: they can practice it.
In other words, cultivation must be improved.
According to their qualifications, they don't know if they will be able to build a foundation in this lifetime by themselves. So in order to quickly meet the requirements to enter the Wei family and become menial disciples, they can only take elixirs and cultivate themselves.
What the Wei family lacks the least is elixirs, not to mention they have Wei Mubai, a genius alchemist. Their cultivation can rise rapidly, but the foundation of the cultivation gained in this way is unstable, and the Golden Elixir is already the limit.
It seems that both of them are guaranteed to reach the Jindan stage, but the former still has hope of advancement, while the latter completely cuts off the path to immortality after the Jindan stage.
So there is no need to hesitate about which one to choose. It just depends on whether these two brothers understand the principle of giving up and gaining.
Xu Haoying and Xu Haojie were confused and overwhelmed by the huge surprise. They were completely in a daze.
Wei Mubai asked someone to take them down, "Don't rush to make a decision, think it over before you reply."
He was not worried that the two would go back on their word. After all, joining the Wei family was a chance for them to rise to fame.
If it weren't for the Wei family, their family's life would have been like this, and it would have been difficult to even build a foundation.
As for manipulating conditions and joining other families, that is totally impossible. Although Xu Hui has stated his idea and it seems that this matter is easy to accomplish, just one point has stopped all the families.
Do they know all the habits, preferences, and growing environments of spiritual plants?
Only Xu Hui understands this!
As the saying goes, a slight mistake can lead to a huge error. Spiritual plants are precious and have their own personalities. If they are even slightly off, they cannot be kept alive. Otherwise, with so many cultivators, why are there so few domesticated spiritual plants?
Xu Hui is an exception. Her unique affinity for plants allows her to sense the joys and sorrows of plants, and she knows what they need, what they like, and how to comfort them.
This is a mysterious feeling. Only by experiencing it personally can you resonate with the spiritual plants and correctly create an environment suitable for their growth.
This is the core technology!
So betrayal is meaningless. Without Xu Hui, they can do nothing.
Xu Hui also hoped that they would choose the first option. In that case, she could also learn the hand gestures. This way, when planting in the spiritual field space, she would not need to use the planting technique over and over again. She could just create a suitable environment and make a few puppets to do the work. How much easier!
When she needs a perfect medicinal plant, she will do it herself.
Also, once the formation is completed, spiritual plants will be able to be grown outside, and she will not need to supply medicinal materials to the Wei family, and all the profits will be hers.
And she has more than repaid the Wei family and Wei Mubai's investment in her!
Wei Mubai understood her thoughts, so he offered her 200,000 points as an inducement. Otherwise, the hand seal alone was not worth that much, and 100,000 was more than enough.
The two brothers lived up to expectations. After going back and discussing with their parents, they unanimously decided to choose the first option.
If this thing is accomplished, the entire world of cultivation will undergo earth-shaking changes, and the benefits to the Wei family will be immeasurable.
Therefore, after Wei Mubai delivered the message, Wei Muheng came over in person and took the family away. "I will first arrange for ten weapon refiners to learn the hand seal. Once they have mastered it, they will come to ask my sister-in-law for guidance."
He was decisive and efficient, not dragging his feet at all. "Is ten days enough?"
Xu Hui nodded and then shook her head. "Right now, I'm only familiar with growing the first-level Star Spirit Grass and the second-level Poison Ghost Vine. I need to practice a bit more before I can tell the weapon refiner how to do it."
"It's okay. Mu Bai can also refine weapons. Let him teach you some simple ones. Once you understand the principles of the formation, you will understand everything," Wei Muheng felt that this was not a difficult task.
“......Is that so?” But Xu Hui felt that it was not that simple.
Sure enough, when she started to learn, she discovered the complexity of refining equipment and the mystery of formations. It was not easy to learn just one, let alone combining the two.
Fortunately, she doesn't need to learn anything very advanced. She just needs to understand the operating principles and avoid taking contradictory routes.
She didn't have to do any action, but Wei Mubai modified the internal structure of the formation bit by bit according to her requirements.
Wei Mubai is a genius in alchemy. In fact, he is not bad at refining equipment. However, the head of the Wei family is good at alchemy, and his sister needs it, so he focuses on alchemy.
But when it came to refining weapons, he was already proficient in it after only a short practice. With the help of the hand gestures given by the Xu brothers, he was soon able to make a suitable formation model according to the requirements.
But Xu Hui still discovered a lot of small problems through her perception, and her intuition told her that the spiritual plants would not like it.
So she continued to propose revisions, and her requests were wild and imaginative, some even fantastical.
For example, "I hope there will be a breeze at irregular intervals in the evening, with moisture at some point, and it should last for about half an hour. It's not good if it's too long."
Wei Mubai pondered for a moment, then went to make changes.
"The sun is too strong at noon. Can we get some shade? But there can't be no sun at all, just not too strong."
Wei Mubai continued to revise.
"Whether dew can be collected or not, the effect of rain and dew is different. As for the ratio, 6:1 is the best."
Sunlight, rain, wind, frost, soil...all aspects of the growth of spiritual plants are taken into consideration.
Wei Mubai revised it twelve times in total, but in Xu Hui's opinion, the result was still unsatisfactory and not as good as what she grew using the planting technique.
But they kept trying and couldn't make further improvements, and that was the limit.
This array plate is specially made for the first-level star spirit grass and is only suitable for growing star spirit grass. Each plant requires a different array plate.
"Try the effect first. If it works, ask your brother to find a senior weapon refiner to cooperate with your idea," Wei Mubai comforted.
Although he can also refine weapons, he is not as good as the weapon refining masters who have devoted years to this field.
Xu Hui nodded, and couldn't wait to go back and try the effect. After all, Young Master Wei said that he would give her one percent of the profits from the medicinal herbs grown in this way.
Although the ratio is small, once the level and number of spiritual plants increase, it will be a huge number.
For example, a level five spiritual plant is worth at least 100,000 spirit stones, and she can get 1,000.
If you can plant one, you can plant hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands.
There are tens of thousands of spiritual plants, but she only created a thousand of them, which is an inestimable number.
Of course, with her current abilities, she could only come up with two. There was no rush. Research was always time-consuming. Moreover, she knew the correct answers, so she just copied and supplemented the intermediate processes. It was much simpler than real research.
She doesn't need to worry about the experiment, Young Master Wei will arrange everything.
What she cares about is between the supporting actress Zhong Lingyue and the girl who traveled through the book, Wan Moxiao. Who got the Liangyi Formation?
After waiting for so long, I finally got an answer.
If I guessed correctly, Wan Moxiao succeeded!
Because she was about to go to the Quining Cave, she must be trying to snatch away the male protagonist Lei Hong's opportunity - a substitute puppet!
If she hadn't gotten the Liang Yi Formation, she would have definitely been troubled. Instead, when she found out that Lei Hong was going to the Quining Cave for the trial, she immediately followed him without any hesitation.
As for Zhong Lingyue, she also got a pretty good formation plate. Maybe it’s not as good as the Liangyi Formation, but it’s probably not much worse.
After all, that was the one the heroine Zhong Xinyue liked, so it should be useful.
Besides, if it hadn't been successful, Zhong Lingyue wouldn't have been so quiet and done nothing.
The people who monitored her these days said that she was either practicing in the room or practicing in the martial arts field, and her practice speed was much faster than before, which meant that she really thought that she had won the chance to be the hostess, so she kept quiet.
After reading this information, Xu Hui felt relieved. It seemed that the plot of this world was not as stubborn as she had imagined.
Of course, it is also possible that these three are the protagonists. After all, no matter how you look at it, the girl who travels through the book may be the protagonist of a new book.
That's why they can influence each other, but supporting characters and cannon fodder may not be able to do so.
It’s not difficult to figure this out!
