Time passed little by little. Zhao Hai has been in the Mixed Spirit Continent for nearly four months now. In these four months, Zhao Hai spent most of his time with the children. He has already taught them the most basic principles of being a Plant Master. These children can now be considered as qualified Plant Master apprentices. As long as they go through a period of training, they can become qualified Plant Masters.
In the past four months, Zhao had not only improved the mountain beans that could produce ten thousand catties per mu, but he had also improved the corn several times. He had also found several plants that could be used as food, and the yield was much higher than the unimproved corn.
In these three months, besides improving the mountain beans and corn, Zhao Hai also paid attention to another matter, which was the reproduction of the Three-eyed Rabbits. In fact, Three-eyed Rabbits don't have three eyes. It's just that there's a pattern on their forehead that looks like a closed eye. According to legend, Three-eyed Rabbits used to have a third eye, and their temperament was very fierce. However, when they fought with other beasts, their third eye was injured. Since then, the Three-eyed Rabbits closed their third eye and never opened it again. Therefore, they became very docile Three-eyed Rabbits.
And just as Zhao Hai thought, the Three-eyed Rabbits' reproduction speed was very fast. In three months, the five pairs of Three-eyed Rabbits had become sixty Three-eyed Rabbits. Moreover, the Three-eyed Rabbits' reproduction period was approaching, and their numbers would increase.
What Zhao Hai wanted to do wasn't to improve the Three-eyed Rabbits, but to treat them. Because this was the first time that Yu Quan and the others raised Three-eyed Rabbits, they didn't have much experience. Therefore, many of the Three-eyed Rabbits were sick. If it wasn't for Zhao Hai looking after them, then these Three-eyed Rabbits wouldn't be able to live until now.
However, Zhao Hai didn't only treat the Three-eyed Rabbits. At the same time, he also summarized a lot of experience in raising rabbits. For example, they can't eat grass that has dew on it, and they must clean it regularly. At the same time, he also listed some common diseases of Three-eyed Rabbits to be treated.
With these common diseases, Yu Quan and the others can raise Three-eyed Rabbits themselves. This would play a big role in the promotion of Three-eyed Rabbits in the Mixed Spirit Continent.
Now, it was finally time to harvest the beans. This was because winter was approaching. Although Sea Spirit City was close to the sea, and the winter wasn't very cold, it wasn't suitable for crops to grow. Moreover, the beans were grown by the people of Sea Spirit City. This was completely different from what Zhao Hai had grown. Because of this, Yu Jinglin attached great importance to this matter.
On this day, Yu Jinglin personally led some people from Sea Spirit City to the side of the bean field. Zhao Hai and the others were also present. Yu Jinglin looked at the withered bean plants and said, "Let's start. Everyone needs to be careful and dig slowly. Let's get started." Everyone nodded as they took their shovels and began to dig.
Originally, Zhao Hai wanted Yu Jinglin and the others to use a plow to dig up the beans. However, Yu Jinglin didn't agree. For him, these beans weren't just beans. They were their hope, the hope of the entire Mixed Spirit Continent. Because of this, he summoned a lot of people from Sea Spirit City and had them dig up the beans.
Zhao Hai couldn't do anything about Yu Jinglin's approach. He was very clear that Yu Jinglin and the others were afraid of starvation. Now that such a high-yield crop had appeared, they naturally couldn't bear to waste it.
This time, Yu Jinglin called over 2000 people to dig up the beans. With so many people working, the beans were naturally dug up very quickly. In just one day, a thousand mu of beans were dug up. Looking at the mountain of beans, everyone was stunned. Then they went crazy and rushed forward. Each and every one of them held onto the beans with tears streaming down their faces. They were too excited.
Zhao Hai didn't make fun of them. Instead, he looked at them and let out a long sigh. The people of the Mixed Spirit Continent were really bitter.
Yu Jinglin looked at the piles of beans and couldn't stop his tears from flowing. After some time, he wiped his tears and then turned to Zhao Hai and gave him a big bow, "Thank you, Mister. With these beans, the people of the Mixed Spirit Continent won't starve to death."
Zhao Hai quickly helped Yu Jinglin up and said, "City Lord is too polite. Let's count how many beans we have harvested this time. Moreover, storing these beans won't be easy. These beans can be planted tomorrow, but storage is also a problem. It's best to store them in underground kilns. But Sea Spirit City is close to the sea. If we want to dig underground kilns, we need to choose a good place. Otherwise, if we dig into a water vein, we will be done for. In this regard, it would be better for Mister to make arrangements in advance. If the ground freezes in a few days, then it would be even more troublesome."
Yu Jinglin finally recovered his calmness. He nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll do as Mister says. I'll immediately arrange it. I believe that everyone will be very motivated. Right, I heard that Mister has improved the production of ten thousand jin of beans per mu. Is there such a thing? "
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "There is indeed such a thing. But this kind of mountain bean requires a lot of land. Lean land can't produce that much, but six or seven thousand jin per mu can still be guaranteed. That's almost the limit. If there's more, then it would require the energy of a Plant Master, so it really wouldn't be of much use." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes.
Yu Jinglin replied, "This is already very good. When we plant them next year, we'll have a separate plot of land to plant them. Once we harvest them, we can spread them throughout the Mixed Spirit Continent. All of the beans we collected today will be used as seeds. Otherwise, I'm afraid that we won't even be able to grow enough land in Sea Spirit City next year."
Zhao Hai frowned and said, "Does Mister want to plant beans on all the land? That's not good. I think we should plant alfalfa on half of the land and raise Three-eyed Rabbits. "
Yu Jinglin shook his head and said, "Mister, you don't know the situation in the Mixed Spirit Continent. It's better here on the coast, we won't starve to death. However, the situation in the interior is different. Every year, a lot of people starve to death. There are even some people who have no choice but to go into the mountains and fight with demon beasts. Right now, the Mixed Spirit Continent doesn't have the qualifications to ask for good food. As long as we don't starve to death, we don't need to care too much."
When Zhao Hai heard Yu Jinglin, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alright, then we'll do as the City Lord says. When winter comes, I'll take in some students. When spring comes, they'll be able to become apprentices. When the time comes, they'll be able to help and make the planting of the beans even smoother."
Yu Jinglin let out a long breath and said, "Then I'll have to thank Mister. Mister has done a lot for the Mixed Spirit Continent this year. It's only right for us to thank Mister. However, Mister can also see that the Mixed Spirit Continent doesn't have anything worth showing. But Mister can rest assured, I've already reported Mister's matter to the Seven Great Clans. They'll be bringing people over soon."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I don't care. If I can make sure that no one starves to death in the Mixed Spirit Continent, then I'll be happy to do anything."
Yu Jinglin nodded and didn't say anything else. Then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, I'll have to arrange tomorrow's work. I won't talk to Mister anymore. I'll remember Mister's kindness, so Mister can rest assured."
Zhao Hai replied, "Mister, you can go do what you need to do. I have nothing to do here."
Yu Jinglin nodded, then he cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai before turning around to make arrangements. With so many people present, it was naturally impossible for them to eat and sleep in the villa. Yu Jinglin had to lead everyone back to the city and then come back tomorrow to dig a kiln. Only when the mountain beans are stored would he feel relieved.
At this time, Zhao Hai also led the children back to the villa. The children had been learning from Zhao Hai. Before, they only felt that the mountain beans could change the Mixed Spirit Continent. However, this was just their imagination. Now that they saw the mountain beans piled up in the field, the children were very excited. It wasn't as good as having the facts in front of them. They were also children from poor families. Now that they saw so many mountain beans, they naturally understood what these mountain beans represented. They admired Zhao Hai even more. At the same time, they were also proud of their identity as Plant Masters.
While Zhao Hai was busy improving the mountain beans in the Mixed Spirit Continent, he suddenly received a letter from Tang Ming. At this time, the intelligence system of the Five Spirit Realms was under Tang Ming's command. Zhao Hai rarely interfered, he also didn't have that much energy. Because of this, Tang Ming was the one who sent the letter to Zhao Hai.
This time, Tang Ming's letter contained a lot of things. In fact, the most important thing was the ships in the Five Spirit Realms that had accidents one after another. Zhao Hai already knew who was responsible for this, and Tang Ming also knew. However, Tang Ming and the others still haven't found out where the Demon God was hidden by the Ghost Face people.
In the beginning, Zhao Hai thought that the Ghost Face people had hidden the Demon God on the main islands mentioned by the people on the Devil's Ship. However, when the people on the Devil's Ship went to the main islands, they didn't find the Demon God's shadow. This made them feel very strange. Because of this, Zhao Hai and the others still haven't found the Demon God's shadow. They didn't even know what the Demon God looked like.
However, from the way the Ghost Face people acted, the Demon God shouldn't have recovered. Otherwise, the Ghost Face people wouldn't have continued to attack the ships.
Zhao Hai didn't care much about this situation, he just let the Ghost Face people do what they want. At this time, the Ghost Face people's actions had already attracted the attention of the higher-ups of the various continents. The higher-ups of the various continents had already united. Obviously, these people were preparing to deal with the Ghost Face people.
Although the Ghost Face people had been hiding very well, one shouldn't underestimate the strength of the higher-ups of the various countries. If they really wanted to investigate, then there was nothing that they couldn't find. Therefore, the Ghost Face people would be out of luck. Zhao Hai also sent Tang Ming a letter to the Ghost Face people that he subdued. He wanted them to hide as soon as possible so that the higher-ups of the various countries wouldn't be able to deal with them.
Things were just as Zhao Hai expected. The Ghost Face people underestimated the strength of the higher-ups of the various countries. The higher-ups of the various countries were able to rule the Five Spiritual Realms for so many years, so how could they not have some ability? At this time, the higher-ups of the various countries suddenly made a move. They conducted a thorough investigation of the Ghost Face people in the five continents. This investigation was different from the previous one. In the previous investigation, they only caught some small fish and shrimps. In fact, this was also a warning to the Ghost Face people. However, the Ghost Face people didn't care and still attacked them. This time, the higher-ups of the various countries naturally wouldn't be polite. Some of the Ghost Face's Silver and Gold Masked Messengers were found and were directly besieged by the experts of the various countries.
As soon as this matter came out, some passenger ships on the continents immediately set sail. Although they were also attacked by the various countries' navies, their losses weren't very big. In the end, the passenger ships all fled to some islands. However, there were still a lot of Ghost Face people on these islands. The various countries' navies didn't manage to gain any advantage and temporarily retreated. But in this way, the matter of the Ghost Face people hiding on these islands was confirmed by the higher-ups of the various countries.
However, when the various countries discovered that the Ghost Face people were hiding on these islands, they also discovered another thing. They didn't seem to have any good way to deal with the Ghost Face people. The islands had always been a blind spot of the various countries. In the past, the people of the various countries didn't take these islands seriously. But now, they discovered that they really didn't have a good way to deal with these islands.
First of all, the various countries' navies weren't very familiar with the situation of these islands. This might seem strange to ordinary people. Navies like you aren't familiar with the situation of these islands? Then what do you do on the sea every day? Looking at the scenery? These islands were nominally the territories of the various countries. How could they just leave them alone?
In fact, they really didn't want to do anything about it. This was because the higher-ups of the various countries didn't pay enough attention to this matter. Moreover, the route that the navies took was regulated. Sometimes, even if they wanted to visit the islands, they wouldn't be able to. This was because the defenses of the various countries were very strict. When a navy goes out to sea, the ship is like a small world. The captain of the ship is the king of this small world. If the captain has any bad ideas, then the ship would no longer belong to the country. It was precisely because of this that the various countries were very wary of their navies.
Because of this, the navies simply didn't know about the situation of these islands. They didn't even know about the undercurrents and reefs outside the islands. In this case, it wouldn't be easy for the navies to attack these islands.
When the higher-ups of the various countries discovered this, they immediately felt that this matter was troublesome. They immediately began to think of ways to attack these islands. But just as they were thinking about this, something happened on the continents.
