Chapter 7 Daily Work
To take care of white corn, simply put, you need to weed, remove insects and water it.
It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do it in practice.
Take insect removal for example. The cultivator must learn the Gengjin technique, then find the insects, and then successfully kill the insects without hurting the white corn.
Insects will not be stupid enough to kill you in the most conspicuous place, and they will run away.
Ordinary insects can't eat white corn as a spiritual plant. This kind of insect can be called a spiritual insect. If you encounter an advanced spiritual insect, it will be even more difficult to kill.
For cultivators who have just taken care of spiritual plants, insect removal is their biggest headache.
However, for Li Qianqing, insect removal is particularly simple.
He has already born a divine consciousness.
Using divine consciousness to find these low-level spiritual insects is too simple, just like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken.
'First complete today's task. ’
Li Qianqing started the pest control work first. His spiritual sense was directly expanded. Unlike what he saw with his eyes, he could see clearly what was on the white corn plants under his spiritual sense.
In less than an incense stick of time, the one-acre spiritual field had been inspected.
The first acre of spiritual field was normal, and no insects were seen.
When one-third of the second acre of spiritual field was inspected, something was found.
A hornworm!
The hornworm is one of the most common pests on white corn. The color of its body is exactly the same as that on the white corn plant. Its body is smaller than the fingernail of an ordinary person and it likes to hide in the stems and leaves of the white corn plant.
The moment Li Qianqing found the hornworm, he stopped in place and found a good angle to use the Gengjin technique.
It is important to choose a good angle. While eliminating the hornworm, the white corn plant cannot be damaged.
A golden slender light spot was formed instantly and passed directly through the head of the hornworm.
The hornworm fell from the white corn plant and did not move.
Obviously, this hornworm was already dead.
"Not bad."
Li Qianqing was very satisfied with his first attempt to eliminate the hornworm.
The Gengjin technique of the minor success stage could help him get rid of the insects very well.
Li Qianqing came to the corpse of the hornworm and picked it up.
He left a small mark on the head of the hornworm, preserving the complete corpse. This can be eaten, and it tastes good.
This hornworm has not yet advanced, but its body also contains energy that cultivators can digest and absorb.
It is rare for spiritual cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage to preserve the corpse of the insect as intact as Li Qianqing. When many cultivators use the Gengjin technique, they directly destroy the corpse of the insect, and the remaining energy is pitiful.
Soon the deworming work of the three acres of spiritual field was completed.
Li Qianqing harvested a total of three hornworms.
The complete corpse of the hornworm that has not advanced can be sold for a low-grade spiritual stone for thirty or forty.
These three hornworms definitely did not appear today. They have been in the spiritual field for a while, but Li Qianbao did not eliminate them before.
After the pest control work is over, the next thing to do is to weed.
These weeds grow wildly and will compete with the white corn plants for spiritual energy. If they are not removed for a long time, the yield of white corn will be greatly reduced.
For Li Qianqing, weeding is the same as other Qi Refining cultivators. There is no advantage, so he can only do it honestly.
Others spend more time on pest control, while Li Qianqing spends more time on weeding.
Almost half an hour later, the weeding work was completed.
Finally, the white corn plants are replenished with water.
The growth of white corn plants requires a lot of water. It didn't rain yesterday, and it was sunny today, so water must be replenished.
At this time, the rain-making technique must be performed.
A little spiritual energy gathered in the air, and a cloud formed, and it began to rain. The spiritual power in Li Qianqing's sea of qi began to decline at this time.
Li Qianqing used the Rain-making Technique three times to irrigate the three mu of spiritual field.
"Complete."
Li Qianqing has completed all the tasks for today, and now it is time for him to practice freely.
Li Qianbao needs half a morning to take care of the three mu of first-grade lower-grade spiritual field, and he only spends half the time of Li Qianbao.
In this way, he has more time left in the day.
Taking care of the white corn plants once a day is the best balance between practice and harvest.
If you take care of them many times a day, you can even make the yield of white corn per mu exceed 1,200 kilograms, but this greatly reduces the time for practice, which is a bit upside down.
But if you take care of them once every few days, the yield of white corn will drop significantly, and the harvest will be very poor throughout the year, wasting the spiritual energy generated by the spiritual vein.
Li Qianqing returned to the cabin and began to deal with the corpse of the hornworm.
This thing is the most fragrant when roasted!
A ball of light green flame ignited in his hand. This is brought by the skill "The Art of Grass and Wood Flame", called Grass and Wood Flame.
Generally, only the top fire-attributed Qi-refining techniques have their own flames.
The fuel used for the flames is the unique spiritual power generated by the cultivator's Qi sea.
Li Qianqing strung three horned insects together, held them in his left hand, and roasted them back and forth on the light green flame produced by his right hand, and then the fragrance emanated.
"My own flame is still a little bit worse, it will be more fragrant if I roast it with the flame burning with spiritual wood."
The conditions are here, and there is no way.
It took about fifty breaths for Li Qianqing to complete a dish he made himself.
Take a bite.
Crunchy!
The taste of the hornworm meat was instantly stimulated in the mouth. After swallowing it, a warm power roamed throughout the body, waiting for Li Qianqing to sit down and digest and absorb it.
Li Qianqing quickly enjoyed the delicacy in his hand. He felt that it was too little.
The energy brought by the three hornworms was very limited, but it was enough to make up for the time he spent taking care of the three acres of white corn just now.
After sitting down and absorbing the energy that was slowly dissipating in the body, Li Qianqing began to practice for the day.
Today he planned to use all the remaining time to improve his cultivation.
At his current cultivation speed, it would take about three years to enter the fifth level of Qi Refining. At that time, he would be sixteen years old.
December.
The door opened and there was a light snow in the sky.
It has been two months since Li Qianqing officially started to take care of the spiritual field.
Except at the beginning, it takes about four or five days to encounter hornworms in the subsequent pest control work. After the snow begins, hornworms are even harder to find. For most spiritual plant husbands, this is a good thing, but Li Qianqing doesn't think so, because there is one less delicacy to eat. The most important thing is that he can easily kill hornworms every time and keep their bodies intact.
Unlike usual, today, before the weeding work is completed, he hears his familiar voice coming from a distance.
"Brother Qianqing."
Li Qianyin is here.
