Chapter 42 Opening up a spiritual field

One day half a month later, Song Qingming was making talismans at home, when Song Qinghe's voice asking for permission to see him suddenly came from outside the door.

After Song Qingming heard this, he quickly put down the talisman pen in his hand, put away the unfinished talisman-making materials, tidied the table and welcomed Song Qinghe in.

When Song Qinghe saw Song Qingming, he didn't hesitate and asked straight to the point: "Qingming, I don't know if you have any magic weapon with a spirit gathering array on you. In the past two days, I found a magic weapon in a mountain depression on the west side of Xuantie Mine. It is a land with abundant spiritual energy, and there happens to be a spring next to it. I want to cultivate a few acres of spiritual fields there. Can you help me arrange a spiritual gathering array?"

After Song Qinghe arrived at Lingyuan Mountain, he was uncharacteristically not practicing in seclusion all day. Instead, he wandered around Lingyuan Mountain. Song Qingming looked a little strange and didn't ask any more questions. Only now did he know that he originally wanted to open up something here. Spirit field.

The Song family also has dozens of acres of spiritual fields in Funiu Mountain, which can produce tens of thousands of kilograms of spiritual rice every year. 30% of these spiritual rice must be handed over to the Xiaoyao Sect, 30% to the Huang family, and the Song family can only keep 40% of the spiritual rice. become.

In addition to supporting the more than 20 monks in the family, there is also a balance of about two thousand kilograms. These spiritual rice are placed in Qinghefang and can generate an income of more than 200 spiritual stones for the Song family every year. They are now an important financial source for the Song family.

"I've seen you, Sixth Brother, wandering around these past few days, and I thought you couldn't get used to living here. It turns out you can't stay idle. I happen to have a set of formation flags with me. I'll go with you to take a look later. Don't worry. , leave the formation to me."

The Spirit Gathering Array is a general formation that gathers the spiritual energy in the spiritual veins. It is usually arranged in spiritual fields and spiritual medicine gardens. Some monks will also deliberately arrange it in their training caves to facilitate breakthroughs in cultivation or skills. Have enough spiritual energy.

It is not difficult to set up the spirit gathering formation. A low-level formation mage like Song Qingming can easily set it up. When he was still in Lingyuan Mountain, he often helped other monks in the clan set up such formations, and he also had several sets on hand. Such a formation flag.

Song Qingming followed Sixth Brother and quickly arrived at a mountain col not far to the west of the Xuantie Mine. This mountain col was on the mountainside on the right side of the mine. From a high position, the entire Xuantie vein could be seen.

This place is tens of feet high from the bottom of the mine mountain. The mountain wall is very steep. It is impossible for ordinary mortals to climb up without relying on external force. Even for the dozen or so innate martial arts masters with some skills, it is a bit dangerous to climb up.

Song Qinghe was able to find this place, which shows that he had put in a lot of hard work during the ten days he came to Lingyuan Mountain.

The mountain col is a triangular platform, only the sharp corners are slightly higher, with a radius of about twenty feet, and a stream flowing slowly through it.

The spring water gushes out day and night from the cracks in the mountain at the sharp corner of the mountain col. It trickles down and merges into a small clear stream, flowing between the rugged rocks covered with weeds and thorns. It passes through the middle of the mountain col and then along the They fell off the cliff and eventually ended up in Crescent Lake a few miles away.

Song Qingming carefully felt the spiritual energy here, and found that it was indeed more abundant than at the foot of the mountain. With a little tidying up on the platform, it would be enough to open two acres of spiritual land.

Song Qingming took out five three-inch formation flags from the storage bag. Song Qingming scattered these formation flags and buried them three feet underground in several places on the platform. He also took out a first-level formation disk and placed it in the center of the platform.

After a set of magic spells were played, there was a wave of spiritual energy on the platform, and the spiritual energy in the entire mountain was slowly directed towards the platform by the spirit gathering array.

It wasn't until an hour later that the spiritual energy slowly stabilized. Together, the two buried more than a dozen spiritual stones under the ground where the spiritual field would be opened. After a month, the spiritual gathering array slowly refined the spiritual stones inside. , the land here will seep into spiritual energy and become a first-class, low-grade spiritual field.

After ordinary land becomes a spiritual field, you can plant some spiritual rice and other spiritual objects. There is sufficient spiritual energy in the spiritual field, which can also shorten the time for spiritual objects to mature.

Spiritual fields and spiritual veins are both divided into high and low levels. The lowest-level first-grade low-grade spiritual fields like those refined by Song Qingming and the others, coupled with the care of spiritual planters, can only shorten the maturity of spiritual objects by one or two percent. If it can be planted directly on the second-level spiritual field, at least 30% of the time it takes for spiritual objects to grow and mature can be shortened.

Low-level spiritual fields can only grow some spiritual rice and spiritual grass that are relatively easy to mature. Low-level spiritual rice matures about once a year. It is the most profitable spiritual item in the spiritual field. All low-level spiritual planters in the world of immortality like to plant it. Such spiritual beings.

Other first-class spiritual herbs or elixirs generally take more than three years to mature. If you plant some in the spiritual fields, you can earn a good income in the long run.

The Song family's spiritual field in Funiu Mountain only dares to plant some first-class spiritual rice and medicinal herbs. After all, planting high-value spiritual objects often attracts the prying eyes of other high-level monks. If you don't have enough strength to protect them, even if you have the spiritual medicine. Don't dare to plant seeds on a large scale, otherwise you will easily be targeted and cause the disaster of annihilation. Only a few foundation-building families in Qinghe County dare to cultivate some second-level elixirs at home.

Spiritual trees and herbs in the world of cultivating immortals are classified according to the year. Those with an age of less than two hundred years are first-class elixirs, those with an age of more than two hundred to one thousand years are classified as second-class elixirs, and those one level above Those that are between one thousand and two thousand years old are third-level elixirs. There are few places in the entire Wei Kingdom where third-level elixirs and above can be grown. It is said that there is a fourth-level elixir that is more than two thousand years old in the Xiaoyao Sect’s elixir garden. .

After Song Qinghe opened up this spiritual field, he also became busy. With Song Qingming's help, the two of them spent a few days on the mountain wall, using magic tools to open up a step of more than ten feet, so that it would be more convenient in the future. The mortals below went up to plant spiritual fields. The monks alone would definitely be too busy, and some mortals would also be needed to help with trivial matters. The Song family’s dozens of acres of spiritual fields in Funiu Mountain were also used for several times. Hundreds of mortals helped with the farming.

It took a day to move two families of mortals from the Crescent Lake to the platform to help Song Qinghe take care of the spiritual fields here, and to help the immortal master farm, but the two mortals who were selected were so happy that from now on they Follow the immortal master, and as long as you work diligently and conscientiously, you might be able to get some spiritual gifts from the immortal family one day.

After the spiritual energy in the Lingtian stabilized, Song Qinghe reopened a cave on the side of the platform and moved it directly from the mineral vein at the foot of the mountain to the platform. Apart from the daily need to inspect the mineral vein, he basically stayed on the platform on weekdays, except for practicing. Just busy in the spiritual field.

After Song Qingming helped him arrange the spirit gathering array, he soon received the dozen spirit stones that Song Qinghe bought for his spirit gathering array. Although Song Qinghe broke through to the fourth level of Qi refining later than Song Qingming, he didn't have the same qualities as Song Qingming just now. The look of embarrassment after the breakthrough.

The reason for this is that he also has a monk father to help support him. Song Qinghe is the son of his second uncle Song Changwu. After embarking on the path of cultivation, although his spiritual talent is very poor, he has never lacked resources until now. He is also a spiritual planter. He can earn some spiritual stones by helping his family manage the spiritual field. Plus his father provides some subsidies. Compared with brothers like Song Qingming who have to rely entirely on themselves, his life is easier. a lot of.

Although Song Qinghe invested dozens of spirit stones in refining these two acres of spiritual fields, he only needs to cultivate the spiritual objects for a few years. When the quality of the spiritual fields stabilizes, even if he leaves here and sells the spiritual fields to others or directly If he turns it over to the family, he will also get a lot of income.

For a profession like the spiritual planter, it is relatively easy to earn spiritual stones in the early stage. Whether it is planting spiritual objects or cultivating new spiritual fields, it is a very stable income.

It's just that spiritual planters usually hide in spiritual fields all year round. They are not good at fighting or hunting monsters. Their combat effectiveness is lower than that of other monks. Most of the monks who choose this profession are those who can endure it. Lonely person.
