When Xia Qing took the initiative to contact Xia Ruofei, Xia Ruofei was packing his luggage.
In fact, all his daily items were placed in the Ring-Tu space. Every time he went out, he would bring a small suitcase with him. Therefore, he didn't have much to pack. He was mainly considering what gift to bring for Ma Xiong.
Xia Ruofei had many good things here. Tea leaves and wine were all rare treasures in the outside world. However, these things had been given before, so there was nothing new.
Just as Xia Ruofei didn't know what to choose, Xia Qing's voice sounded in his mind. "Master."
Xia Ruofei raised his eyebrows and immediately replied with his divine sense, "Xia Qing, what's wrong? Is there a problem in the Spirit Map world? "
The number of times Xia Qing had taken the initiative to contact him could be counted on one hand. Xia Qing was only a soul puppet. Most of the time, he followed Xia Ruofei's instructions and completed his work meticulously. He didn't have the complex emotions and ability to make decisions on the spot like a human.
Xia Qing replied, "No, Master. I just want to report to you that the Mountain Sea Realm's Caterpillar Fungus should be ready to be harvested!"
Xia Ruofei immediately revealed a hint of joy. A few months ago, he had personally rushed to the Caterpillar Fungus production area in Naqu and moved the local plateau vegetation, soil, and Caterpillar Fungus mycelium into the space. He had also asked Xia Qing to open up two mu of land in the Mountain Sea Realm to cultivate Caterpillar Fungus.
Other than paying some attention to this matter when he was conducting cultivation experiments in the Archean Realm, Xia Ruofei basically didn't care about it anymore.
He didn't expect that the Mountain Sea Realm's Caterpillar Fungus could be harvested so soon.
Xia Ruofei said with anticipation, "I'll come in and take a look immediately!"
He was originally in his bedroom. He immediately got up and locked the door and windows. Then, he summoned the Spirit Map Scroll from his palm and entered the space with a thought.
Xia Ruofei appeared next to the Mountain Sea Realm's Caterpillar Fungus nursery.
Xia Qing was already there waiting for him.
"Master, look!" Xia Qing came forward and pointed at the gauze net as he spoke to Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei looked in the direction of Xia Qing's finger and saw that the surface of the black fertile land inside the gauze net was covered with a dense layer of purple-red grass. From a distance, it looked like a purple-red carpet on the ground.
There were also some lucky bat moth larvae that were not infected by the mycelium and had successfully grown into bat moths. They flew around the two acres of space, some attached to the gauze net, and some stayed on the ground between the grass.
These bat moths were the fresh forces that would continuously harvest the caterpillar fungus in the future. They would lay eggs on the ground, and in the next growth cycle, these eggs would hatch into bat moth larvae. Some of them would be infected by the mycelium and produce new caterpillar fungus.
Xia Qing's judgment was correct. The grass above the ground had turned purple-red, which meant that the caterpillar fungus in the soil was ready to be harvested.
Xia Ruofei was a little dumbfounded. After a while, he said, "Damn … Isn't this density too high? Those bat moths can lay eggs so quickly? "
In Naqu, where the caterpillar fungus was produced, grass-gatherers had to search inch by inch for a long time to find a caterpillar fungus in the grass. In a place very close to each other, the probability of two caterpillars appearing at the same time was very low.
On the two acres of land covered by the gauze net, at a glance, it was almost completely covered by purple-red grass. It looked very dense. If the grass-gatherers of Naqu saw it, they probably wouldn't believe their eyes.
Xia Qing said, "Master, the spiritual energy in the Mountain Sea Realm is too dense. These bat moths grow very quickly and have a very high egg production rate. The survival rate of the eggs is even higher, so it's not surprising that the production is high."
Xia Qing paused and then said, "The bat moths reproduce very quickly. I suggest that after this harvest, the caterpillar fungus cultivation area will be expanded. The next time the caterpillar fungus grows too densely, which may affect the quality."
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "No problem. I'll buy the gauze net and send it in. I'll have to trouble you to do it then."
"This is what I should do. Master, you're too polite!" Xia Qing said quickly.
After looking outside the gauze net, Xia Ruofei decided to harvest all the caterpillar fungus.
There were many bat moths in the gauze net. If he went directly in, he might disturb them or even hurt these fragile moths.
However, in the Ring-Tu space, this was not difficult for Xia Ruofei.
With a slight movement of his mind, his powerful divine mind enveloped the two acres of land.
Then, the thousands of bat moths in the gauze net were all bound by an invisible force and gathered involuntarily in one area.
Whether it was staying on the gauze net, hiding in the dense grass, or flying in the air, without exception, they were all wrapped up by the power of space. Not a single one was left out.
Xia Ruofei's control of the entire Ring-Tu space had reached a very deep level. This piece of land was only two acres, which was a small corner of the Mountain Sea Realm. Even if the number of bat moths doubled, Xia Ruofei could easily control it with his current strength.
When he was building this caterpillar fungus nursery, Xia Ruofei had already made the relevant design.
These bat moths were bound by the invisible power of space and slowly gathered in a corner. Then, Xia Ruofei's divine mind moved slightly, and a gauze net hanging on the side immediately unfolded.
Under Xia Ruofei's extremely precise control, buckles were fastened one after another. This gauze net was tightly connected to the original gauze net, forming a small isolated area that isolated the bat moths inside.
"Let's go!" Xia Ruofei said to Xia Qing, "Let's go in and take a look!"
There was a piece of gauze net fixed with Velcro. Xia Ruofei lifted the gauze net and carefully stepped into the caterpillar fungus nursery with Xia Qing. There were too many mature grass here, and it was easy to step on them if you were not careful.
Xia Ruofei squatted down, and Xia Qing immediately handed him a small wooden shovel.
Xia Ruofei used the shovel to carefully dig into the soft soil.
Caterpillar fungus weren't like truffles. They basically grew a little under the surface, so Xia Ruofei quickly dug out one.
Xia Qing immediately handed over a very soft brush. Xia Ruofei used the brush to carefully clean the soil on the caterpillar fungus' surface. Then, a fat caterpillar fungus with a grass head appeared in front of the two of them.
This wasn't the first time Xia Ruofei had harvested a caterpillar fungus. When he first collected the mycelium, soil, and vegetation, he had gotten Xia Qing to experiment with planting them in the Archean realm. Therefore, he already had a general standard in his heart.
After comparing the two, Xia Ruofei was very satisfied with the caterpillar fungus he had randomly collected. It seemed to be thicker than the caterpillar fungus he had obtained in the Archean realm.
"You're an expert. Take a look!" Xia Ruofei smiled as he handed the heavy caterpillar fungus to Xia Qing.
After Xia Qing received it, he gave it a simple look and said, "Master, be it in terms of weight, color, or some other obvious characteristics, as well as the unique rich ghee fragrance, this caterpillar fungus is of extremely high quality! It's not inferior to the caterpillar fungus we planted in the Archean realm. It might even be better! If the caterpillar fungus in this garden can reach this quality, our harvest will be huge! "
Xia Ruofei revealed a satisfied smile. He patted the soil off his hands and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get to work! Xia Qing, make a trip to the Archean realm and find a set of tools for digging caterpillar fungus. Also, find a few plastic packing boxes and bring them over. Let's dig together! "
"Yes, Master!"
After Xia Qing left, Xia Ruofei began to focus on digging the caterpillar fungus.
Soon, Xia Qing returned to the nursery from the Archean realm. The master and servant split up and began to work in the garden.
This might be the easiest job in the world.
There was no lack of oxygen in the snowy highlands, no highland snow wolves that could appear at any time, and no dangerous steep slopes. There was no need to search inch by inch. All they needed to do was to constantly dig.
Of course, they also needed to be careful to prevent the caterpillar fungus' skin from being too hasty. However, for Xia Ruofei and Xia Qing, this was an extremely simple task.
For eight to nine hours, the master and servant did not stop. They bent over and worked the entire time.
Fortunately, Xia Qing was only a soul puppet, and Xia Ruofei's physique was stronger than an ox's. If it were an ordinary person, their waist would probably have broken.
Xia Ruofei looked up and saw that the two of them had only completed an extremely small area. As far as the eye could see, it was still a large area of purplish-red.
Although two mu of land was not big, and the two of them were very skilled at digging the caterpillar fungus, they could not withstand the density of the caterpillar fungus! Every square meter had a few hundred caterpillar fungus. It was normal for their progress to be slow.
He stood up gloomily and stretched his sore waist. He said to Xia Qing, "It looks like we won't be able to finish collecting today. I still have things to do in the outside world. I can't stay in the space forever."
He pondered for a moment before continuing, "How about this! Xia Qing, let's stop here for today. Let's go to the Archean realm and clean up the caterpillar fungus. We can also take stock of today's harvest! You can slowly dig out the remaining caterpillar fungus! "
"Yes, Master!"
Xia Ruofei and Xia Qing left the caterpillar fungus nursery. He carefully stuck the velcro of the net tightly and then controlled the invisible spatial force to undo the buckle of the "quarantine zone" net. He hung the net to the side.
After regaining their freedom, the bat moths immediately scrambled to spread out. Bat moths could be seen flying everywhere in the two-mu area. After a while, some bat moths slowly landed and stopped on the net or on the purplish-red grass.
Although the caterpillar fungus had not been completely harvested, it was not good for the bat moths to be confined in such a small space. Therefore, Xia Ruofei decided to release them first.
When Xia Qing went to dig for caterpillar fungus again, he would come in and isolate them again.
Xia Ruofei returned to the Archean realm with Xia Qing and the caterpillar fungus they had harvested.
Working in the Archean realm could save some time. In addition, by staying away from the bat moths, they would not disturb them.
These bat moths were now Xia Ruofei's treasures! His next step was to continue expanding the caterpillar garden!
The master and servant came to the Spatial Spirit Pool.
Xia Ruofei first picked up the ladle beside the pool and scooped up a ladle of clear Space Spirit Pool water. He gulped down a few mouthfuls and immediately felt refreshed. The fatigue on his body seemed to have been dispelled quite a bit.
"Let's get to work!" Xia Ruofei said.
He and Xia Qing began to clean the caterpillar fungus one by one with soft brushes.
There was a huge amount of caterpillar fungus. This job was not easy. Furthermore, the cleaning process was very meticulous. At the same time, they had to be very careful. Therefore, it took even longer than digging the caterpillar fungus.
After more than ten hours, the master and servant finally cleaned up all the caterpillar fungus they had harvested today.
Thankfully, the flow of time in the Archean Realm was thirty times faster than in the outside world. Xia Ruofei did not care if it took a little more time.
After cleaning up the caterpillar fungus, Xia Ruofei lay down on a recliner beside the pool and said, "I'll rest for a while. Xia Qing, count how much we've harvested this time!"
"Yes, Master!" Xia Qing was absolutely obedient to Xia Ruofei's orders. Besides, he was not tired at all. As long as he absorbed a small amount of spirit energy, he could maintain a full health state.
Xia Ruofei rested on the recliner with his eyes closed. In this space rich in spirit energy, the air seemed to carry a sweet smell that made one feel relaxed. He actually fell asleep unknowingly.
After an unknown period of time, Xia Ruofei woke up. He saw Xia Qing standing beside him with his hands by his side. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "Xia Qing, have you finished counting?"
"Yes, Master!" Xia Qing bowed slightly and said, "I've already finished counting. Master, I saw that you were resting, so I didn't disturb you."
"Hey, can't you just wake me up …" Xia Ruofei said, "Tell me! How's our harvest this time? "
Xia Qing immediately said, "Master, we harvested a total of 2,168 caterpillar fungus this time!"
Xia Ruofei immediately sat up from the recliner and asked with widened eyes, "How much?"
Xia Qing was shocked. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master, it's 2,168. I counted them one by one. There shouldn't be any mistake …"
Xia Ruofei only knew that he had harvested very quickly today and that he should have harvested quite a lot. However, when he heard the accurate number from Xia Qing, he was still shocked.
Xia Ruofei's first reaction was to flash back to the Mountain Sea Territory. Standing in front of the gauze net in the caterpillar fungus garden, he visually estimated the area that had just been harvested.
The result made him blush. He and Xia Qing had been busy for so long, but they had only harvested five or six square meters. If one didn't pay attention, they wouldn't be able to see it in the purplish-red color.
Xia Ruofei quickly calculated in his mind. The distribution of these caterpillar fungus was very uniform. They had harvested 2,160 caterpillar fungus in such a small area. How many caterpillar fungus could be harvested in two mu of land?
He didn't know before calculating, but he was shocked when he calculated.
