Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 195 - 131 Harvest_2

Chapter 195: Chapter 131 Harvest_2

“””

Although Chen Qing could rely on his ability to control evil spirits to suppress the bronze-armored Divine General in front of him, he was still forced back three zhang.

Chen Qing glanced sideways, “Equivalent to the peak strength of the Foundation Establishment Realm, huh?”

“Fortunately, I can control the evil spirit and suppress it with my own Dao!”

Relying on his control over the evil spirit, Chen Qing directly used Fatian Xiangdi, transforming into a giant three zhang tall. He wielded the Geng Metal Sword and the Great River Sword, engaging in battle with the bronze-armored Divine General.

The Great River Sword flew out, sweeping up a river of Sword Qi. As it eroded continuously, Chen Qing struck down with his palm, completely shattering the bronze-armored Divine General.

Catching his breath, Chen Qing released the state of Fatian Xiangdi.

Looking again at the fragments of the bronze-armored Divine General, he discovered six ancient Gu.

“Extended Arm Gu?”

After forming a contract, it could open the meridians of both arms, forming a cycle, and repeatedly enhance the strength of the arms.

It was rather remarkable and quite suitable for Nanli people to use.

Unfortunately, it was just a Mortal Gu, and Chen Qing was no longer interested in Mortal Gu.

The main issue was that it couldn’t be used for too long.

Fortunately, having obtained six Gu, they could be sold for fifty to sixty thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, making the night worthwhile.

Returning to the house, Chen Qing picked up a jade slip from Ancient Times and began to study it. After some days of learning Ancient Text, he could now understand part of it.

The Ancient Text leaned more towards the Dao, with each word containing an inexplicable Dao.

Some exuded Sword Intent just by looking at them, while others felt like Mount Tai pressing down.

“Hmm, Extreme Self Sword Palace?”

What was written here was about the outer disciples of the Linglong Divine Palace, following a master of the palace to travel around. They encountered a place called the Extreme Self Sword Palace.

Everyone there practiced swords, and their Swordsmanship was exquisite beyond compare.

High-ranking individuals of the Linglong Divine Palace fought three times with them and were defeated each time.

Ultimately, they realized the Sword Pupil Skills of “ten thousand swords living in the eyes.”

This Extreme Self Sword Palace was quite extraordinary, but unfortunately, this was not the place.

Nevertheless, thinking of those Gu containing various Divine Power Skills, Chen Qing was still somewhat curious.

Exiting the outer area of the palace, Chen Qing returned to Jiuhe City.

Back at his City Lord’s Mansion, Chen Qing immediately ordered a handwritten decree, “Now that the Spiritual Medicine’s Spiritual Medicine has reached its peak, today is the last day to absorb the essence from heaven and earth.”

“Quickly spread the word, start harvesting the Spiritual Medicine tonight.”

Below the City Lord’s Mansion, there was an ice cellar made of cold stones to preserve the Spiritual Medicine.

The difference was that the entrance to this ice cellar was at the back of the City Lord’s Mansion, preventing interference with other departments’ activities in the front.

It quickly darkened, but just after nightfall, a large number of cultivators from the Spiritual Department lit lamps in unison and began to move toward the Spiritual Field to harvest a large quantity of Spiritual Medicine.

Each plant of Spiritual Medicine was uprooted, washed clean, and then stored according to various preservation methods.

Carriages kept coming and going, transporting the Spiritual Medicine cart by cart to be stored in the ice cellar.

Other residents of Jiuhe City did not sleep at this moment, watching this astonishing scene before them.

In just three months, the Spiritual Medicine grew and was transported away by the cartload.

This was everyone’s source of future salaries, ensuring that even if Jiuhe City ceased its conquests, its resources for cultivation would not diminish.

Chen Qing looked at the yield of Spiritual Medicine in an acre of land, which produced five to six hundred jin of Spiritual Medicine.

This amount was already extremely astonishing.

With All Things Grow and a large number of Spirit Plant cultivators tending, there was indeed a great harvest.

Chen Qing recollected the personnel listening to orders from various departments, totaling over three thousand people.

If the salaries were distributed every three months, even if each person received one hundred jin of Spiritual Medicine, only about fifty percent of the Spiritual Medicine would be used.

The remaining fifty percent was all his.

Every three months, he could obtain five hundred thousand jin of Spiritual Medicine!

A meal could consume a thousand jin of Spiritual Medicine!

That was absolutely terrifying!

Of course, the medicinal properties of these Spiritual Medicines were far inferior to those in the wild and could never compare to the ones consumed on the immortal island.

But the sheer volume made up for it!

“Order the Wine Department to produce at least ten thousand jin of wine daily!”

“Summon Wei Qingchen to see me.”

Before long, Wei Qingchen came to pay respects as ordered. Chen Qing said, “With the current yield of Spiritual Medicine, I calculated that even if every person is given one bottle of Spiritual Wine per day as a salary, there would be a surplus. What do you think, Qingchen?”

Wei Qingchen replied, “My lord, as long as you reside here, this yield is indeed possible. However, once you leave, I fear this number won’t be maintained.”

“Moreover, the price of one bottle of Spiritual Wine is ten Spirit Stones. Calculating one bottle per person per day amounts to three thousand six hundred fifty Spirit Stones a year!”

“Cultivators with Butterfly Gu are only offered nearly ten thousand Spirit Stones annually by external offerings.”

“A typical fifth-level Qi Refinement is really not qualified to receive so many Spirit Stones.”

“In external forces, if they can earn a thousand Spirit Stones a year, that’s the limit, and it’s already excellent treatment!”

“Moreover, you calculated based on the value of Spiritual Wine. If sold in quantity, it wouldn’t fetch ten Spirit Stones.”

When Chen Qing first learned he could harvest tens of thousands of jin of Spiritual Medicine, valued at five to six million Spirit Stones, he was astonished.

Chen Qing once calculated Wuyou Mountain’s annual income, approximately over twenty thousand Spirit Stones, of which thirteen Hall Masters and esteemed elders took the majority.

The Mountain Master left a portion for ordinary disciples, but it wasn’t much.

His current power far exceeded Wuyou Mountain by more than twenty times!

Calculating conservatively at twenty times, his force’s annual normal output should be six million Spirit Stones, right?

That’s considering everything together; just regarding Spiritual Medicine cultivation—three thousand people hunting demon beasts for Demon Spirit Blood, three hundred production cultivators, and a thousand acres of Spiritual Field—the annual normal revenue was also five to six million Spirit Stones.

Yet, under the addition of All Things Grow, Jiuhe City’s annual yield of planting Spiritual Medicine reached a terrifying two million Spirit Stones!

Once he fully comprehended this, Chen Qing realized that All Things Grow was truly the most formidable aspect of his Lifebound Gu!

The more he used it, the greater the new discoveries he made. Initially thinking Earth Walker was powerful, upon using it, Fatian Xiangdi appeared truly strong.

Returning to Iron Flow Valley, he found Truth Listening to be truly powerful. The entire earth was like his personal garden.

Now he completely realized that All Things Grow was the best in the world!

This effectively meant All Things Grow tripled to quadrupled production cultivators’ productivity!

And all the surplus could be his alone.

Chen Qing thought for a moment, then said, “Well, Qingchen, calculate so that everyone’s income relatively exceeds outside forces by about thirty percent. Draft a list and send it to me so I can review it.”

A day later, after extensive calculations with his Housekeeper Mansion, Wei Qingchen presented a list to Chen Qing.

“Fifth-level Qi Refinement: distributed annually at twelve hundred Spirit Stones.”

“Seventh-level Qi Refinement: annually at sixteen hundred Spirit Stones.”

“Cultivators with Butterfly Gu: ten thousand Spirit Stones annually.”

“Eighteen department leaders: thirty thousand Spirit Stones annually, each of the three leaders of personal soldiers: fifty thousand Spirit Stones annually.”

When Chen Qing saw Wei Qingchen’s annual salary, it was eighty thousand Spirit Stones, which was indeed a low figure.

As Chen Qing reviewed it, he discovered that there was still a surplus of twelve million Spirit Stones annually!

Thus, Chen Qing added a ten in front of eighty.

Giving an extra ten thousand Spirit Stones was genuinely trivial!

He was now a great cultivator with ten million Spirit Stones annually!

The speed was better than robbing!

Killing and fighting didn’t seem meaningful anymore.

Farming was indeed more appealing.

Of course, this was thanks to this treasure land; without it, he couldn’t earn so much annually.

After adjusting Wei Qingchen’s annual salary, Chen Qing approved it with a “yes.”

Now he felt quite pleased, riding high on success.

Previously, he would sweat and toil for ten Spirit Stones a day. Now, just sitting in his City Lord’s Mansion, he could amass ten million Spirit Stones a year!

Fight and kill? Not for him anymore!

Chen Qing had completely fallen in love with the feeling of abundant harvests from farming. Was he planting Spiritual Medicine?

No, it was Spirit Stones!

At night, after consuming over a thousand jin of Spiritual Medicine, he felt somewhat reluctant to finish the last hundred jin.

Reluctantly finishing these Spiritual Medicines, he went to the ice cellar beneath the City Lord’s Mansion, saw the piled-up Spiritual Medicine, and decided to have a late-night snack someday.

“Hahaha, all these years of hard work finally paid off!”

“Becoming the master of a force surely has its perks, well worth all my efforts!”
