Chapter 60 Planting Blood Essence Rice

There are many tasks in the External Affairs Hall.

For example, to investigate the strange phenomena in a certain place, to deal with the strange beasts in a certain place, or to hunt down a vicious criminal in the outside martial arts world, etc.

But these tasks do not seem to be profitable, but more like training and rewards for the disciples in the temple.

Yes,

With the size of the Shengji Sect, it is not necessary to rely on exploiting the lower-level disciples to obtain resources.

However, Yang Qingyun did not think too much about it.

In the recent period, he did not plan to go out, but planned to rely on the spiritual energy in Changchun Temple to improve his cultivation as much as possible.

After all,

he is only in the Tempering Body Realm now, which is only the second level of martial arts.

After some investigation, Yang Qingyun finally set his sights on a certain task.

Task:

Reclaim one acre of blood essence rice near the ground vein mouth of the back mountain of Changchun Temple, and hand in fifty kilograms of blood essence rice in two months.

Reward: Five Yuanshi.

Requirement: Tempering Body Realm. (Note: If the final harvest of blood essence rice is less than 50 kilograms, the task acceptor needs to use the reward to make up the difference. If there is any surplus, it can be sold to the canteen or kept by oneself.)

"It turned out to be blood essence rice. It seems that the blood essence rice that began to appear and become popular after the spiritual energy was revived in the previous life is not accidental. The existence of higher-level forces has long controlled these means of production."

Yang Qingyun thought to himself.

Blood essence rice Yang Qingyun recognized that this is an extraordinary plant. The blood essence rice it grows contains extremely powerful essence, which can greatly assist the practice of warriors.

In the previous life, after the spiritual energy was revived, the crop of blood essence rice began to appear in the martial arts world and began to become popular.

He also ate a lot of it at that time.

At that time, he thought it was a species brought by the invasion of Xuantian Realm, or a new variety produced by the mutation of rice absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth under the revival of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that this kind of thing had already existed.

It's just that his level in the previous life was too low and he couldn't touch it at all.

"Although I didn't plant it myself in my previous life, I also learned about how to plant it from the people around me during the turbulent times."

"And after several years of popularization, many people have already explored more advanced cultivation methods. With that knowledge, this mere blood-essence rice is definitely not a problem!"

Yang Qingyun said confidently in his heart.

So he pointed to the task of planting rice to the person in charge of the Foreign Affairs Hall, and bowed to him and said:

"Brother, I want to take this task."

"Brother, are you sure you want to take this task?"

The manager of the Foreign Affairs Hall, who was originally sorting out the accounts, raised his head and saw that it was a task of more blood-essence rice, and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, what's wrong with this task, brother?"

Yang Qingyun frowned slightly, a little confused.

"Oh, no, it's okay. Junior brother has a good eye. You can get five Yuanshi after completing this task. This can be said to be the highest-paying task among the tasks required by the Tempering Body Realm!"

"What's more, if the crops are well planted and exceed the yield, the rest will be yours!"

The man smiled and praised loudly.

"Brother, I was a little surprised just now, but it's just because this kind of farming task is a bit insulting to the disciples in the temple, so few people accept it, so I didn't react for a while."

"Junior brother, you can see that you are a person who can endure hardships, no matter how you look at it."

The person in charge explained repeatedly,

but this made Yang Qingyun look a little suspicious.

But before Yang Qingyun said he would consider it, the senior brother hurriedly asked Yang Qingyun's name and ticked the task for him.

At the same time, he quickly found a booklet and a bag of grain seeds and stuffed them into Yang Qingyun's hands.

"These are the various precautions for planting blood-essence rice. Junior brother, you can take a look. The seeds are also here. As for the farming tools, they are in the rice field area in the back mountain. Junior brother, just take the things with you."

"Two months later, when the blood-essence rice is harvested, someone will go to harvest it. Junior brother, just hand it over to the other party."

After saying that, he quickly invited Yang Qingyun out.

It seemed that he was afraid that Yang Qingyun would regret it in the end.

Yang Qingyun walked out of the Foreign Affairs Hall with a bag of seeds and planting instructions, his eyes a little confused.

"Is there a pit here?"

He muttered.

But in the end, he shook his head and threw away the worries in his mind.

"Forget it, in the previous life, even mortal farmers could grow this kind of blood-essence rice. It doesn't make sense that I am now in the Tempering Body Realm, so there will be no problem!"

"With the memory of the previous life, there shouldn't be any problem."

After saying that,

he walked towards the back mountain of Changchun Temple in three or two steps.

What Yang Qingyun didn't know was that after he left, the man in the Foreign Affairs Hall wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally, this annoying task has been assigned."

One day later,

In a vacant lot with weeds, Yang Qingyun held the hoe made of fine steel tightly and swung it again and again.

Dang, dang, dang.

Every time the hoe went down, a crisp sound like the collision of metal and iron was produced, rippling around the vacant lot.

Until a moment later,

Yang Qingyun, who had finally hoeed a row of land, stopped, panting heavily, sweating profusely, and his palms turned red and hot.

"Damn it, no wonder no one wants to do this task, this thing is simply not something that ordinary people can do!"

He stood aside with his hoe, gritting his teeth.

Facts have proved that

he thought too much.

Yang Qingyun only remembered that after the recovery of spiritual energy, blood essence rice began to become popular, and even mortal farmers would plant some to assist themselves or their children in cultivation.

So he thought that this task should not be difficult.

But he forgot one thing,

the environment is different!

Now before the recovery of spiritual energy, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth cannot support the growth of blood essence rice, so the fields where it is planted must be cultivated near the ground veins.

And the soil near the ground veins, because of the erosion of the ground veins, will solidify and become as hard as a whole stone!

This leads to the fact that without a certain strength, it is impossible to plant this blood essence rice!

No wonder the task requirements say that you need to be at the Tempering Body Realm or above.

I'm afraid that below the Tempering Body Realm,

you can't even hoe the land washed by the earth's pulse nearby!

"I thought that guy's attitude seemed a little wrong, so this is the reason!"

Yang Qingyun said helplessly.

Sure enough, there is no such thing as a pie in the sky, and you accidentally fell into a big pit!

But fortunately, it is not without benefits.

Because of the long-term erosion of the earth's veins, Yang Qingyun felt that practicing here was a little faster than practicing in the dormitory.

There are many benefits for practicing.

"Well, being in such an environment is a small benefit compared to being outside, and more exercise can further temper the blood and qi."

"Just treat it as a more tiring practice!"

Yang Qingyun gritted his teeth, raised the hoe high, and continued to struggle with the hard ground.
