After all, Wang Daoyuan is a transmigrator and has memories from his previous life. He pondered for a while and thought of a golden investment quote from his previous life: "You can't put all your eggs in one basket."
Since he can't sell large amounts of spirit grains, then he'll plant something else. Selling a variety of spirit herbs will have a much smaller impact than only selling spirit grains.
The Wang family has fifty mu of spirit fields scattered throughout Jade Spring Peak. There aren't many types of spirit herbs planted, among them, there are only spirit grains, yellow cloud grass, scarlet blood ginseng and a dozen other types of spirit herbs.
Yellow cloud grass is the main ingredient for making grade one talismans, the rest of the spirit herbs are ingredients for refining spirit clearing pills, spirit gathering pills, rejuvenation pills and other common pills used by qi disciple stage cultivators.
As a member of the Wang family, and with his talent for talisman making, it's very likely that he'll become one of the pillars of the family's finances … one of them. Wanting to get the seeds of grade one spirit herbs shouldn't be too difficult.
Having thought of a countermeasure, Wang Daoyuan's heart that's "like a group of eunuchs going to a brothel" once again heated up.
Unable to hold back the excitement in his heart, he immediately ran out of the cave and went straight to the residence of the elder in charge of the spirit fields.
The elder in charge of the spirit fields is called Wang Shouye, ranked twelfth in the Shouye generation. He's the youngest and most talented elder in the family, not even forty yet. He broke through qi disciple stage nine at the age of twenty-five and reached qi disciple peak at the age of twenty-eight. He can break through foundation establishment at any time.
However, the Wang family doesn't have a stable way to obtain foundation establishment pills. Without foundation establishment pills, the risk of breaking through by force is too great. Failing to break through means nine deaths.
Firstly, he's still young. As long as he breaks through before his qi and blood declines at the age of seventy, it won't affect his chances of breaking through. Secondly, qi disciple stage is the stage of laying down the foundation. The more you accumulate, the more solid your foundation is and the higher your chances of breaking through.
Because of this, Wang Shouye still hasn't broken through by force. In order to take care of this elder who's most likely to break through to foundation establishment, the family gave him the most leisurely position, general manager of the spirit fields.
His main task is to check the output of the spirit fields every year. As long as it's within a reasonable range, there's nothing for him to do. The miscellaneous work is handled by the managers at various levels.
This general manager is very famous in the family, but Wang Daoyuan has never seen him before. Because Wang Shouye was "dissolute and loved freedom", and it was difficult for him to improve his cultivation, he would wander around outside when he was free. He would only return to the mountain when there were important matters in the family.
It was already the end of the year, and the family would check on the income and expenditure of the year. The chief steward of the spiritual fields had to be present, so Wang Shouye was most likely on the mountain.
Wang Daoyuan arrived at Wang Shouye's abode. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard a lazy yet somewhat familiar voice. "Come in."
Wang Daoyuan pushed the door open and entered the cave. Other than a stone couch, there were only wine jars, wine jars, wine pots, and wine gourds.
A white-robed man was lying on the stone platform with his legs crossed. He held a wine gourd in his hand and was pouring wine into his mouth.
Wang Daoyuan was a little depressed when he saw the face of the man in white. It was the "immortal" who had brought him up the mountain.
He did not expect that the famous genius elder and his sloppy guide were actually the same person.
Wang Daoyuan hurriedly bowed. "Junior Wang Daoyuan greets Twelfth Uncle."
Wang Shouye did not get up. He waved his hand and a wine gourd hanging on the wall flew towards Wang Daoyuan.
"It's you, kid. Don't bother with those empty words. Drink first and talk later."
Although Wang Daoyuan had never drunk wine before, it was not good to refuse a request.
He took the wine gourd and drank a big mouthful. As the wine entered his throat, it was like swallowing a ball of fire. The fire burned down his throat.
The burning sensation gradually subsided and turned into a warm current that flowed into his dantian. His cultivation had actually increased a little. This mouthful of wine was comparable to a day of meditation.
After tasting the benefits, he raised his head and drank all the wine in the gourd. He felt like he had fallen into a furnace, but he did not feel drunk at all.
"Hahaha, good kid! Good alcohol tolerance! As expected of the person I chose. Your future is limitless. "
Wang Daoyuan had a helpless expression. So you judge a cultivator's future based on alcohol tolerance!
Wang Shouye sat up from the stone couch and asked, "Kid, why did you come to find me?"
Wang Daoyuan replied, "I want to grow spirit herbs and earn some extra money, so I came to find Twelfth Uncle to ask for the seeds of rank one spirit herbs."
Wang Shouye patted the storage bag at his waist and took out a dozen egg-sized cloth bags.
"The clan only has these dozen types of rank one spirit herbs. Take whatever you want."
Wang Daoyuan thought, Just now, Twelfth Uncle directly took out a gourd of precious spirit wine to entertain a junior with low aptitude like me. I drank it all in one gulp. Not only did Twelfth Uncle not feel distressed, he even laughed heartily. It can be seen that he is a forthright and generous person. Rather than politely decline, it is better to generously take them all.
Thus, he took all the dozen bags of seeds and said, "Since it is like this, then I won't be polite."
Sure enough, as Wang Daoyuan expected, after he put away all the seeds, Wang Shouye laughed loudly. "Good kid, as expected of someone who doesn't suffer losses. You have a temper like mine."
Finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his storage bag and threw it to Wang Daoyuan. "Seeing that your alcohol tolerance is good, this is the recipe for the Scarlet Blood Wine you just drank. Don't forget to give me a few jars of good wine."
Spirit wine recipes were extremely precious. Not only did the recipe need the ratio of the spirit wine's ingredients, it also needed the production of the distiller's yeast as well as the brewing process. Distiller's yeast production was the most difficult.
Creating a spirit wine recipe from nothing consumed a lot of manpower and material resources. It was much harder than developing a pill recipe of the same rank.
Wang Daoyuan took the recipe and cupped his hands. "Thank you, Twelfth Uncle. I definitely won't forget you when I brew good wine. I won't disturb you drinking anymore and will go back to grow spirit herbs. "
Wang Shouye nodded. "Running away after taking advantage of me, you are a good seedling to go out and explore. Scram, don't forget the jars of Scarlet Blood Wine you owe me. "
Wang Daoyuan hurriedly said, "How would I dare to go back on Twelfth Uncle's debt?"
Returning to the cave, Wang Daoyuan's consciousness entered the space and planted the seeds in the space's spirit field.
As the master of the space in the spirit bead, Wang Daoyuan didn't need to use a hoe to dig holes and sow seeds. He only needed to use the power of his consciousness and small holes would appear in the spirit field. He then used his consciousness to control the sowing, burying, and watering. It was just that the power of his consciousness was a bit large.
Ten mu of spirit fields, four mu of spirit grains, two mu of yellow cloud grass, one mu of Scarlet Blood Ginseng were planted. The remaining three mu of land were divided equally among other spirit herbs.
Because he lacked experience in planting, Wang Daoyuan didn't dare to plant all the seeds he just got. He only planted a bit of most of the spirit herbs to accumulate experience.
Because he learned how to make talismans, he was very familiar with yellow cloud grass, so he planted a bit more. Moreover, he knew how to make talisman paper, so he could produce and sell it himself. He could make talisman paper and then refine talismans. This could increase his income and he didn't need to directly sell yellow cloud grass, reducing the risk of being noticed. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Scarlet Blood Ginseng was the main raw material for Scarlet Blood Wine. Wang Shouye's wine recipe mentioned some methods to grow Scarlet Blood Ginseng, so Wang Daoyuan planted a bit more.
The spirit grains he planted before had already sprouted in the space, so Wang Daoyuan also planted a bit more. Four mu of spirit grains. In the future, he would eat spirit grains every day and sell the rest in batches. It shouldn't cause too much of a stir.
After planting the spirit herbs, Wang Daoyuan observed the spirit grain sprouts he planted before. The spirit grain sprouts were quite similar to the dog's tail grass in his previous life, but they were thicker and the leaves were straight like swords.
These spirit grain sprouts were already half a foot tall. They were growing quite … fast?
Wang Daoyuan reacted. This wasn't right! It had only been a day and a half since the spirit grain sprouts. In such a short time, the spirit grain sprouts had grown half a foot tall?
