Chapter 721 Progress is smooth
Fortunately, with the second batch of immigrants moving in, the manpower needed to cultivate elixirs is basically sufficient.
The Wei clan first spent a lot of time sorting out the abandoned medicinal fields. After weeding, fertilizing and watering, they began to cultivate the elixir.
Chu Yang didn't know much about this aspect, so he didn't get too involved. He only occasionally went to the medicine field.
The process of cultivating elixirs is not complicated, but it is very time-consuming. This process lasts until autumn before it can be completed.
…
It was a crisp autumn day, and Chu Yang, with Wu Xiaoxin and several other young disciples, were speeding through the pasture. In front of them were several groups of spiritual beasts, about a hundred of them.
Most of these spiritual beasts were captured by the Jiang family in the past few months, and only a small number of them were cultivated by themselves.
In this regard, the Jiang family spent a lot of energy and finally accumulated some experience.
Several horses galloped for a moment, and then a horse came up quickly.
"Uu——"
Chu Yang pulled the reins and slowed down, allowing Wu Xiaoxin and others to stand up.
The person coming from the opposite side was Jiang Yuntao. He was probably grazing cattle and came over when he saw Chu Yang and others.
When he arrived, Jiang Yuntao smiled and said, "Why are you interested in riding horses today?"
"Now, these little guys want to ride horses. I have nothing to do, so I will take them to see them."
Chu Yang pointed to Wu Xiaoxin and others riding horses next to them.
"You came at the right time. There are a few yellow sheep ready for the slaughter now. I'm planning to kill one to see how the meat is. How about roasting the whole sheep tonight?"
"Wow, really?"
Wu Xiaoxin couldn't help but swallowed. A while ago, she had been thinking about eating mutton. Unfortunately, the spirit beasts raised in the spirit beast farm at that time didn't have much meat. Now that autumn is here, it is the time when the spirit beasts are fat and strong. , it is most suitable for eating meat.
Seeing the eager eyes of the young disciples, Chu Yang smiled bitterly and said: "You can just pretend to be a public servant for your own benefit. These little girls look small, but they have a big belly. I'm afraid your yellow sheep won't be enough to eat."
"It's okay, then I'll kill one more to entertain them. I'm just looking for someone to give an evaluation to see how the meat quality of this spiritual beast is and whether there is any possibility of improvement." Jiang Yuntao said with a smile.
Chu Yang nodded: "That's true. After raising it all summer, it's time to check and accept the results. Since I've come across it, I'll come and taste it."
"Okay, let's go back. Preparations have begun over there." Jiang Yuntao nodded and returned with everyone.
When passing by the grassland planted with Green Bellweed, Jiang Yuntao reined in his horse and said to Chu Yang: "I am completely convinced now. The yield of Green Bellweed is astonishingly high. Just these few acres of grassland are enough for us to raise." The spirit beasts have been eating for a long time, and they are now producing seeds, which are estimated to be mature in half a month. Then they will be harvested, packed and stored, and will be used as feed in winter. "
Chu Yang asked: "Are these acres of green betelweed enough to last a whole winter?"
"I guess it's still not enough. The green material is important. When the grass seeds mature, they will dry up and become much lighter. We have more than a hundred spiritual beasts, all of which are used for breeding. We won't kill them in winter. There will be a lot of food, so the consumption will be huge. I have already told others to reserve some other fodder to at least get through this winter." Jiang Yuntao expressed his thoughts.
Chu Yang nodded: "Keep on holding on, just wait until next year. Then a large area of green beetle grass will be planted, and you will no longer have to worry about the spiritual beasts having no fodder. As for how to survive this winter, I will go and tell my father-in-law." "Let's see if we can send some people to help you harvest fodder after the autumn harvest. It should be much easier for you with the help of the Wei family."
"That's great. We only have more than a hundred people here, and there are too few young people. We are really stretched. It will be much better if we can survive this winter and move more people in next year." Jiang Yuntao said happily.
Chu Yang smiled. This guy was also reminding him to bring in more people from the Jiang family. Now is the time when manpower is needed to raise spiritual beasts. He can just win more places to enter the cave. He can't just look at Wei. The family is the only one in the family.
For the roasted whole lamb banquet in the evening, Chu Yang did not invite too many people. He only invited Su Qinghua, Chu Shiwen, Wei Huai, and the four brothers and sisters of the Wei family.
It's not that Chu Yang is stingy, it's just that there is too little mutton, and if there are many people, it will definitely not be enough.
These two sheep were reluctantly taken out by the Jiang family. When they were first caught, they were still lambs. It took a lot of effort to grow them so big. Now they are going to be slaughtered and eaten. It is really a bit strange. Not comfortable.
When Jiang Yuntao talked about the origin of these two sheep, everyone felt a little sad and couldn't bear it. But when the fat-roasted golden lamb was served on the table, everyone couldn't help but swallow when they smelled the smell. saliva.
"Come on, come on, everyone, you are welcome today. This is also the time to test the results. If you don't taste it yourself, who knows what the concentration of spiritual energy in this mutton is. If it is no different from ordinary mutton after raising it for a long time, then let's raise it again It’s useless to have more, isn’t it?”
Jiang Yuntao brought the whole lamb to the table along with the grill, began to dismember the mutton with a sharp knife, and distributed it to everyone present in order of age.
When it was assigned to Chu Yang, he didn't eat it first and gave it to a few young disciples next to him.
Wu Xiaoxin was not afraid of being burned. After taking a bite of the fragrant lamb leg, she exclaimed, "Wow, it's delicious! It's so fragrant!"
"Eat slowly, don't burn it."
The disciples took one bite at a time and ate half of the leg of lamb. Chu Yang quickly reminded them when he saw them rushing forward.
After the disciples tasted it, Chu Yang asked, "Xiao Xin, do you think there is a lot of spiritual energy in the mutton?"
A few days ago, Wu Xiao Xin had broken through the bottleneck of the Qi Refining Stage and entered the Foundation Building Stage. Now she can clearly sense the spiritual energy.
However, Wu Xiao Xin looked up and thought for a while, and said a little embarrassedly: "I ate too fast just now, and I didn't feel it."
Chu Yang gave her a slap on the head and scolded: "You are not Zhu Bajie, and you are not eating ginseng fruit. You are trying to trick me, and you still want to eat more? Use your heart to feel it, and you will naturally be able to sense the existence of spiritual energy in the mutton."
"Oh——"
Wu Xiao Xin covered her forehead, closed her eyes and began to sense.
Chu Yang looked at Wei Zirui and others who were feasting on the opposite side, and asked: "How do you feel?"
Wei Zirui's mouth was full of oil, and he didn't care about Chu Yang. He bumped Wei Zilian with his elbow and asked him to answer.
Wei Zilian's eating manners were much better. After being blamed, he had to wipe his mouth and said, "This mutton tastes good, and the roasting temperature is also very good. The spiritual energy content in mutton is more than any meat I have eaten. If you want to compare, the spiritual energy in a leg of mutton is at least equivalent to a yellow-grade spiritual medicine!"
"What about you?"
Chu Yang looked at the other masters in the foundation-building period.
"I also think the spiritual energy is very rich. The same weight of mutton is estimated to be several times higher than the spiritual rice produced in Ruoye Creek."
"I think the spiritual energy in mutton is easier to absorb, and the effect is much better than eating a yellow-grade spiritual medicine directly, and it tastes good too."
"This yellow sheep originally grew up in the cave. The spiritual beast raised in this environment must be much stronger than outside. I think this spiritual beast is very valuable."
Everyone discussed and affirmed the value of the spiritual beast.
Until then, Chu Yang took the piece of mutton that Jiang Yuntao cut again. After tasting it carefully, he felt that the mutton was delicious and the concentration of spiritual energy was as rich as everyone said.
"No wonder every sect has to raise big spiritual beasts. With the meat provided by these spiritual beasts, supplemented with staple food such as spiritual rice, eating three meals a day can increase cultivation, not to mention various spiritual pills to assist cultivation."
After eating the mutton, Chu Yang finally understood why the sects spent a lot of manpower to grow spiritual rice, spiritual wheat, and raise spiritual beasts.
"Brother Tao, I will go back to Jiangzhou in the next few days and ask the old man to arrange more people to come in. When the spring comes next year, the scale of the spiritual beast farm will at least double, so that everyone can eat meat every day as soon as possible!"
Chu Yang looked at Jiang Yuntao and reminded solemnly.
"Okay, I'll do my best. As long as we have enough manpower, we'll go to the surrounding areas to catch more spirit beasts!"
Jiang Yuntao was also very excited. The Wei family had already shown their importance. He was also very anxious. There were too few people from the Jiang family, and the spirit beasts they raised had not yet shown their value. If they continued, they would become vassals of the Wei family. Now with Chu Yang's words, he realized that the Jiang family still had a chance to compete with the Wei family, so he rekindled a bit of fighting spirit.
After the banquet, Chu Yang took his disciples back to the Immortal Palace.
The next morning, there was a knock on the door.
Chu Yang opened the door and saw Jiang Xiaoyuan outside.
Recently, Jiang Xiaoyuan and several other disciples have been arranging a large formation to protect Zhuyun Peak.
This large formation is called Taixu Miechen Formation, which is a mid-level magic formation of the Xuan level. It has both offensive and defensive capabilities. Unless ten Yuanying stage masters join forces, it will never be broken.
Chu Yang bought this formation from the Heavenly Realm Taobao website for 1.8 million spirit stones. Jiang Xiaoyuan studied formations, but there were only some common formations in that book. Such ingenious formations needed to be purchased separately to know the specific arrangement method.
In addition to the 749 magic talismans needed to suppress the formation foot and the formation eye, a total of more than 2 million spirit stones were spent, which really made Chu Yang feel distressed.
In order to arrange the formation, it is necessary to dredge the underground spiritual veins and draw the spiritual energy in the earth veins to support the formation. It took Jiang Xiaoyuan and others two months to get these more than 40 formation feet and formation eyes done. It was a huge project.
Fortunately, the formation was very effective. After the formation was successfully arranged, Chu Yang and seven or eight Jindan masters worked together to try to attack the formation.
With the joint efforts of everyone, sword energy spells bombarded the formation, but only caused a little ripple, and there was no sign of being shaken at all.
However, when Jiang Xiaoyuan controlled the formation to counterattack, everyone was frightened. If Jiang Xiaoyuan had not controlled it so well and suppressed a lot of power, Chu Yang and others would have been seriously injured.
Chu Yang was very satisfied with the acceptance. With this formation, even if a strong enemy attacked, even if there was no power to counterattack, at least it could protect the foundation of the sect.
