The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 886 Let’s Continue Farming

Three days before the official harvest, Immortal King Yu and Young Master Jiuhua came to the medicine garden together.

When millet reaches maturity, it doesn't make much difference whether it's a few days earlier or later; it all depends on the color of the millet.

Immortal King Yu gathered three grains of rice with a swipe of his spiritual power, then crushed off the husks, revealing light black rice grains with a golden sheen.

He took out the quaint little tripod again and started cooking.

Xiao Han dared to conclude that this small tripod was definitely a top-level magical weapon, but now it had become a pot used by Yu Xianwang to cook.

As the unique fragrance of the black gold spiritual rice emanated, Jiuhua couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "No wonder a single grain of rice fetches tens of thousands of immortal stones at auction in the market. This can truly be considered a unique natural treasure."

Yu Xianwang said: "This kind of grain that absorbs the essence of heaven and earth is no different from those spiritual herbs in terms of effect. On the contrary, this kind of thing not only satisfies the appetite, but also has no side effects after the body absorbs it.

In fact, if a high-level cultivator consumes it, they may not feel the effects particularly deeply. However, if a low-level cultivator consumes it for a long time, it is similar to taking a spiritual enhancement pill for a long time, but without causing any poison. You can imagine how great its effect is."

Jiuhua said: "The monk who cultivated the black gold rice seeds really made an invaluable contribution!"

Immortal King Yu nodded, "Although this monk Yuan is only at the Golden Immortal Realm, his future achievements are definitely limitless."

While he was talking, three grains of rice were already cooked.

King Yu gave one pill to Xiao Han and Jiuhua respectively, and he also held one pill in his hand and started eating.

So, the Immortal King Yu, who originally had an ethereal air, and Yu Jiuhua, who originally had the aura of a nobleman, each grabbed a piece of rice grain that looked like a steamed bun and ate it with great pleasure.

Xiao Han was very curious. While enjoying the food, he was thinking about how many people would be shocked if he recorded the scene in front of him.

The more familiar she became with this father and son, the more she felt the true meaning of the saying, "Distance creates beauty."

After finishing the meal, Yu Xian Wang sighed, "Even with the Freshness Locking Talisman, the taste of these freshly picked rice grains is still very different from the taste after they have been left for a while. This freshly picked black gold rice is really delicious."

Jiuhua immediately said, "How about we just keep growing the rice and pick and cook it whenever we want to eat it?"

Immortal King Yu rolled his eyes at him. "Then why don't you force the cultivator whose lifespan has run out to stay here and not let him die? Spiritual plants also have life cycles. How can they survive when their lifespan is up? What's the point of hanging the grains here?"

Xiao Han nodded secretly, thinking that this Master Jiuhua really fits the image of a rich young man and has no idea about the characteristics of crops.

Immortal King Yu did not ask Xiao Han to harvest. Instead, he took out a storage bag, and with a burst of spiritual power, he directly pinched off all the rice ears. Then the whole rice ear dried instantly and was stored in the storage bag.

Then, he pointed to the ten nests of rice ears that had been left at the edge and said to Xiao Han, "I only promised you one nest of rice, but you've planted it well and helped manage the medicine garden well. These ten nests of rice are your reward."

Xiao Han was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express his gratitude.

Each nest of rice has three stalks and about thirty grains of rice. Ten nests contain about three hundred grains of rice. If these are put up for auction, it will be a huge income.

Then, she heard Yu Xian Wang slowly say, "Otherwise, you can continue to stay and plant for me. When the next harvest comes, I will give you twenty nests of rice as a reward."

In fact, with the promotion of Black Gold Rice, after four or five cycles, the price will definitely fall below 10,000 fairy stones per grain.

However, due to the long planting time, demanding geographical conditions and labor requirements, no matter how much it is promoted in the later stage, it cannot be planted on a large scale, and the price is destined not to be too low.

Xiao Han thought that these ten acres of land could be used to plant at least six hundred nests. Yu Xianwang only provided the seeds and land, but he had to work here for ten years to get twenty nests. It was too uneconomical.

He immediately said, "Immortal King Yu, I'm sorry to waste ten years here, only to get a few hundred grains of rice. And after ten years, the price of Black Gold Rice will drop to who knows how low it will go. It's not worth it."

King Yu Xian probably also felt that his conditions were a bit too harsh.

Then he said, "How about this? I'll give you one acre of land. Whatever you earn from this acre is yours. As for the rest, I just ask that the yield remain the same as this time."

One acre of land can be used to plant more than sixty nests. Xiao Han was much more satisfied this time.

In fact, she also knew that the price of Black Gold Rice would not drop too much in a short period of time, so she could take a gamble this time.

"Did you also provide the seeds for this acre of land?"

Xiao Han immediately started to nitpick.

Immortal King Yu waved his hand and said, "Alright, all the seeds are mine."

Xiao Han continued to negotiate, "Now that I'm your partner, I can come and go freely in the medicine garden, right? After all, I sometimes need to go to the market to buy some talisman paper and ink."

Yu Xian Wang said, "As long as it doesn't interfere with the management of the medicine garden, you can come and go freely."

After saying that, he took out a medicine garden restriction token and threw it to Xiao Han.

Xiao Han took the token and finally felt a little relieved.

At least he is not locked up as a prisoner in the medicine garden, but is considered a normal worker.

No, I should be considered a tenant farmer.

Yu Xianwang is now a wealthy landlord.

After the black gold rice is harvested, the soil can be turned over and planting can continue for the next season.

Last season, a total of 625 nests, or 625 seeds, were planted.

The sixty-three rice ears that Immortal King Yu transferred to Xiao Han were more than enough.

Then, he was about to take Jiuhua away. Xiao Han deliberately said to Jiuhua, "Master Jiuhua, I have some questions about the way of talismans that I would like to ask you for advice. When you have time, please come over. Don't worry, it won't be in vain."

After saying that, he blinked.

Jiuhua immediately understood what he meant. He nodded and then followed King Yu Xian away.

As soon as the two men left, Xiao Han was not idle either. He immediately began to pull up the rice stalks by the roots and pile them together.

The straw of this spiritual rice can be sold to talisman workshops to make blank talisman paper for low-level talismans, or it can be sold to monks who feed low-level herbivorous spiritual beasts as feed.

But now, Xiao Han is not planning to sell it for money. She wants to crush the straw and spread it on the fields as base fertilizer.

This time, she plans to set aside one acre of land as an experimental field, and combine it with some of the rice-growing experiences of ordinary people she saw in the countryside when she was a child to see if she can improve the yield and quality.

Just when Xiao Han was busy, Jiuhua, who had already gained benefits from his father, ran back to the medicine garden to see Xiao Han.

As soon as he came in, Jiuhua asked, "You're looking for me about the black gold rice, right?"
