"Do you need to consider Feng Shui when growing medicine?" Shang Huan knew nothing about farming and joked with a smile.
Old Hao snorted and gave Shang Huan, a newbie in farming, a sidelong glance: "It doesn't look at the wind, but it looks at the water!"
water?
It’s the spiritual energy of the earth!
Does growing medicinal herbs require more spiritual energy?
"Do you want to grow medicine?" Old Hao saw through Chen Mu's plan at a glance.
"Let's learn it first. Didn't you say that there is no money to be made in growing yellow sprout rice?" Chen Mu nodded with a smile.
"It's a waste of effort. We can't sustain life with this water." Old Hao shook his head.
Water is not available, but I have a white jade plate.
Chen Mu smiled and said nothing.
……
Tongtianfang, the seat of the lower house.
Chen Mu walked out of the Sutra Courtyard and glanced back at the octagonal wooden building with bronze wind chimes hanging on it: "It's really expensive."
It costs one white jade coin to read for an hour.
Chen Mu shrugged immediately: "It's better to be a little more expensive than to have nothing to watch."
The Lower Court is the resource production base of Jilong Dao. In addition to the secret jade tablets, there are also many miscellaneous books in the Sutra Court.
He came here just to look for information about this medicine.
After leaving the Sutra Academy, he went to the Herb Pavilion and spent a white jade coin to buy thirty seeds of the nightshade grass.
I went home and made a culture trough out of wood chips. It was one meter long, half a meter wide, and about knee-high.
Make potting soil, sow seeds, water and fertilize.
Finally, place the culture trough next to the white jade plate to ensure sufficient concentration of earth spiritual energy.
"All done!" Chen Mu clapped his hands in satisfaction.
Just wait for the seeds to germinate and grow into seedlings, then you can try transplanting.
……
Half a month later, in the courtyard of the low mountain, on the west side of the patio.
Chen Mu stood under the wooden shed of the stove, looking at the small field in front of him, but his expression did not look good.
The ridges of the field are planted with transplanted nightshade seedlings.
Thirty seeds, twenty-five sprouted. But after transplanting, not a single one survived!
The last young seedling also fell down completely this morning.
“Don’t try blindly.”
Chen Mu couldn't help but be amazed. He lost two white jade coins in one attempt, which was enough for his food money for a month.
“But we have to continue planting.”
Whether it is the lower house or the boat, key drugs such as Solanum tuberosum and nightshade have been stopped from retail.
The ten kilograms in his hand can only last for half a year.
Chen Mu looked at the gray wall.
Cloud Mirage Spirit Armor Technique: 5257/10000/Level ;
Planting: 9260/10000/Level ;
Sand-containing Technique: 3790/10000/Level ;
Hundred Will Spiritual Light Technique: 3232/10000;
Don't worry about the spiritual armor technique, it will practice on its own.
There was no special plan to practice Hanshashu, it was just a pastime to kill time.
"The time spent on practicing spiritual magic can be reduced a bit." Chen Mu thought to himself.
Even if you practice with all your strength, you are still a long way from perfection.
"Then take a few days to gain planting experience."
"Level 2 isn't enough, but level 3 should be enough."
“It’s just the liver.”
At the original rate, processing the yellow sprout rice field every day can bring it about thirty experience points.
If you want to advance, it will take about twenty-four or twenty-five days.
But in addition to hands-on practice, there is actually another way to improve experience.
“It just costs money.”
……
Six days later, Chen Mu walked out of the Sutra Academy with a strange face.
He came to the Sutra Academy for six consecutive days, constantly reading books on seedling transplanting, pest control and weed control, fertilizer configuration, and the medicinal properties of medicinal materials.
Not only did his planting skills advance to the third level, but he also gained more than 300 pharmacy skills experience points.
"Come a few more times and push your medicine-making skills to the highest level?" Chen Mu was eager to try.
But after thinking about it, Chen Mu couldn't help but shake his head.
He had only completed half of the medicine making process. He did not have that much white jade money.
Even if there is one, I dare not come. What if someone wants to see me?
He has a proficiency plug-in, and he will be able to gain enough experience sooner or later.
You may even reach the top faster and better than others.
"There's no rush."
"It's better to plant nightshade first."
This thing is related to whether he can have a stable source of income in the future.
……
When he was about to leave the lower house, a group of people crowded in front of the inspection house caught Chen Mu's attention.
He walked to the shade of a tree in the distance and stopped to watch with several people under the tree.
"Not full yet?" Chen Mu was surprised and casually chatted with the people under the tree.
Before he frequently went to the Sutra Academy to read books, the Inspection Academy had already been recruiting people. Six days later, the recruitment office was still full.
"They say there are strange beasts causing trouble in the mountains and we don't have enough manpower." A farmer in his fifties replied.
"It's a pity that I haven't mastered the secret technique, otherwise I would have to sign up." Another bearded man in his forties said in a muffled voice.
"Five white jade coins as monthly allowance."
"We can also share the money by killing strange beasts."
"You can easily earn ten white jade coins in a month!"
"You have to live to get the money." The old man glanced at the other person and said, "Exotic beasts are not pigs or sheep on the chopping board."
Chen Mu couldn't help but nodded.
Because the Lower Court has a strong spiritual energy and abundant resources, it is often attacked by strange beasts. Hunting and killing strange beasts is one of the duties of the Inspection Court.
The job pays well, but it is also dangerous.
"Aren't we here just to take it a step further?"
"But you need white jade to eat, to buy secret techniques, to buy auxiliary pills, and even to practice in the dojo!"
"Without the white jade money, how can we make further progress?" The bearded burly man's voice was filled with suppressed anger.
"I only get two coins a month for growing yellow sprout rice, which is only enough to buy a bag of yellow sprout rice and a bottle of tranquilizer pills."
"If you rent twenty mu of land and get the best harvest, you can earn twenty to thirty white jade coins a year."
"What can I do with this little money?" The strong man stared at the inspection office unwillingly: "Wealth and honor are sought through risk, but unfortunately..."
Chen Mu couldn't help but agree: "It's hard for those of us who farm!"
The old man's face was not looking good either: "With the outbreak of pests, everyone has suffered heavy losses this year."
"In the next few years, maybe all my work will be in vain."
Chen Mu felt sympathetic: "It is indeed not small."
The emerald beetles destroyed several acres of land.
Before Guan Qie Ye Cao even saw his shadow, he had already spent eight white jade coins.
"It will probably take a long time to fill this hole." After a quick calculation, Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh.
It will take at least three days!
We have to wait for him to give the latest set of tranquilizing pills to Shang Huan.

Chapter 221 Alien Beasts
Twenty-one days later, in the courtyard on the low mountain.
Chen Mu squatted in front of the small field ridge under the west wall, looking at the green seedlings as long as his index finger with a happy face.
He held a fist-sized wooden spoon in his hand and sprinkled the special well water in the wooden barrel beside him evenly around the seedlings.
"Finally it's done." Chen Mu's face was full of smiles.
The well water was mixed with Baicao Pavilion fertilizer and was left next to the white jade plate for five and a half hours.
