Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 567 - 21: Spirit Plant Department_2

Chapter 567: Chapter 21: Spirit Plant Department_2

Only three of the eggs had been fertilized. Although they had been incubated for several months now, there were not a single sign of them cracking open.

If Wang Ba hadn’t been able to feel the clear life force pulsing within them, he would have thought the incubation was unsuccessful.

However, Wang Ba was genuinely looking forward to what kind of spirit chickens these three eggs would hatch into.

According to past experience, a significant possibility was that they would be Class III as soon as they were hatched.

If confirmed, Wang Ba could then begin researching on the recipes for Class III chicken essence.

Besides normal chickens, Wang Ba had also started to breed the Phoenix-feathered Chicken and the Black-feathered Chicken, a breed resulting from a crossbreed between the Dawn Chicken and the Phoenix-feathered Chicken; both breeds had been almost forgotten by him.

These spirit chickens were all mutant breeds. If they were to be used as the main ingredients for spirit food recipes, they could most likely be contributed as a new recipe.

However, currently, the quantities of both breeds were not large, thus, Wang Ba had no plans on brewing them just yet.

Increasing the quantity of these two breeds of chickens was challenging. For the Phoenix-feathered Chicken, even if the parent breeds were Phoenix-feathered Chickens, the ability for the offspring to be Phoenix-feathered Chickens was still extremely low.

And it was even more difficult for the Black-feathered Chickens to increase in quantity. Since they lacked the ability to reproduce, they could only be born through continuous mating between the Phoenix-feathered and Dawn Chickens.

Of course, once the base quantity of these two types of spirit chickens were raised, everything afterward would be easy.

This meant a substantial supply of chicken feed would be required.

The thing was, even though Bu Chan was a Spirit Plant Master, it was a bit hard for her to manage so many spirit fields and spirit plants alone.

“It seems I need to find a supplier for chicken feed…” Wang Ba pondered in his heart.

However, compared to before, it was much easier now. Within the Wood Division, there was a Spirit Plant Department from which he could obtain supplies.

“I’ll go look for them after the rest day is over.”

These thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, yet Wang Ba still insisted that Bu Chan rest on the sidelines as he energetically tended to the spirit field himself, pulling out weeds and unclogging the spiritual energy.

Even though he had reached the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment stage and had a deep foundation and a second Dantian rich with mana, he still felt a little worn out after working for a while.

Seeing Wang Ba clumsily working, Bu Chan could not help but suppress her laughter, wanting to communicate something, but deciding not to.

She really wanted to teach Wang Ba the most labor-saving tactics.

But in the end, she said nothing. When Wang Ba started showing signs of fatigue, she quietly returned to the spirit field and resumed her work. At sunset, Wang Ba, standing in the spirit field, and Bu Chan covered in mud, looked at each other and laughed.

The round sunset stretched the shadows of both of them out very far, very far.

The next day.

Second floor of the Spirit Food Department’s bamboo house.

Wang Ba stood in front of Cui Daqi’s desk and bowed: “Thank you for your help, Uncle Master.”

“That’s more like it,” Cui Daqi nodded slightly. “You’re right to come to me if you need help…Spirit Valley Bran, right? It might be difficult if it’s Class IV…”

“It doesn’t have to be Class IV, Uncle Master. The bran from Class II and Class III spirit rice would suffice,” Wang Ba quickly said.

Class II Spirit Valley Bran was basically enough for most spirit chickens. However, Jia 15 and Jia 16 were both Class III spirit chickens now. After Jia 17 was raised for a while longer, it would probably keep up and the number of Class III spirit chickens would gradually increase. They would definitely need Class III Spirit Valley Bran then, so this was a preparation for that.

“Oh, it’s not Class IV? That’s much easier!” Cui Daqi let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

As a Minister in the Spirit Food Department, he had a reasonable understanding of the Spirit Plants which were one of the key sources of Spirit Food.

Spirit Rice was common for Class I and Class II. However, when it came to Class III, both the variety and yield began to become scarce.

As for Class IV Spirit Rice, it was considered a treasure of the Spirit Plant Department with very low yield and extremely long growth periods. Even the Spirit Valley Bran might not be available for Wang Ba.

“It’s settled then. Leave this matter to me. It’s just some surplus Spirit Valley Bran. Minister Ma of the Spirit Plant Department and I have been friends for many years. After today, you can come with me directly to approach him,” Cui Daqi took over the task.

Indeed, this wasn’t a big deal. It was merely some Spirit Valley Bran that was surplus.

Of course, one would have to strictly say that this was regarded as the property of the sect. Even though it wasn’t significant, it still required a Minister’s approval.

Wang Ba was not overly worried either.

Compared to the East Saint Sect of Chen State that was so devout to spiritual energy that it divided every bit of it into two halves for usage, the Wanxiang Sect was much more liberal. Spirit energy was abundant here and cultivators did not have to be particularly frugal. As such, Spirit Valley Bran had no particular use here and it would usually just be burned.

The people from the Spirit Food Department shouldn’t give him a hard time either.

As expected.

After Wang Ba made another hundred portions of Immortal Tree Juice in one go, he followed Cui Daqi to the Spirit Plant Department, situated not far from the Spirit Food Department.

The Spirit Plant Department also comprised of a two-storey bamboo house.

However, in contrast to the Spirit Food Department’s staff who needed to concoct Spirit Food within the bamboo house, the people of the Spirit Plant Department were seldom found indoors.

When Wang Ba arrived at the Spirit Plant Department, he found the whole place somewhat empty.

“Minister Cui, please wait for a moment. Minister Ma is currently inspecting the medicine fields and will be back soon,” a cultivator at the Golden Core stage from the Spirit Plant Department, dressed quite like a farmer, skillfully poured tea for Cui Daqi and Wang Ba in the bamboo house.

“No problem. I’ll wait here for him,” Cui Daqi was not in a hurry.

Compared to the leisurely pace of the Spirit Food Department, the Spirit Plant Department was without a doubt the largest and busiest division of the Wood Division.
