Chapter 80 - 79: 1000 Spirit Stones (5/5)
A Spirit-Gathering Array.
When operating at full capacity, it covers an area of two acres and a quarter. Within two years, this array can successfully convert these two acres and a quarter into a spirit field.
At the same time, due to the small coverage of the Spirit-Gathering Array, the spirit Qi is overly abundant.
As long as the area remains constant, even if He Song doesnt come here to cast the Spirit Rain Skill every day after planting the spirit rice, the spirit rice planted here can still grow smoothly.
Thats the advantage brought by the concentration of spirit Qi.
The spirit field in the Immortal Pavilion has just enough spirit Qi concentration to prevent degradation.
Therefore, the spirit rice planted on the spirit field needs spiritual plant farmers to cultivate it. They use the Spirit Rain Skill every day to temporarily increase the spirit Qi in the spirit field to facilitate the growth of the spirit rice.
For the Immortal Pavilion, the spirit Qi gathered by the Spirit-Gathering Array would surely be prioritized for Foundation Establishment Masters, followed by those in the Qi-refining late stage and places like the Spiritual Medicine Garden that require a denser spirit Qi.
After that, its for those in the Qi-refining mid stage and Qi Refining Early Stage.bender
And then, its for the spirit fields.
It can be said that the spirit Qi concentration received by the spirit fields inside the Immortal Pavilion is the lowest.
Of course, the Immortal Pavilion could also arrange a Spirit-Gathering Array every two acres and a quarter, like He Song.
But to do so would be too costly.
The Spirit-Gathering Array in Immortal Pavilion isnt like the one arranged by He Song, which only requires five spirit stones to operate at full speed for a year.
The Immortal Pavilions Spirit-Gathering Array is at a higher level. The amount of spirit Qi it gathers is incomparable to the entry-level Spirit-Gathering Array that He Song arranged.
Naturally, the consumption should be terrifying too.
In He Songs view, the cost of increasing the spirit Qi in the spirit field would definitely be higher than that of recruiting spiritual plant farmers to use Spirit Rain Skill every day.
Otherwise, the Immortal Pavilion would have done so a long time ago.
The Immortal Pavilion probably wouldnt recruit spiritual plant farmers to tend to the spirit fields anymore.
After understanding this point, He Song pondered for a moment before quickly arranging three more Spirit-Gathering Arrays in the valley.
Ten days ago.
He Song had arranged a Spirit-Gathering Array in this place. Now, with the additional three arrays, he had a total of four Spirit-Gathering Arrays.
With the four Spirit-Gathering Arrays in place, the combined area covered was ten acres.
Ten acres.
It can be fully transformed into spirit fields after two years.
Ten acres of spirit fields. Each acre of spirit field can produce a thousand catty of spirit rice per year, totaling to ten thousand catty of spirit rice. If the price is calculated at 10 catty of spirit rice per spirit stone, ten thousand catty of spirit rice can sell for a thousand spirit stones!
A thousand spirit stones!
After deducting the annual operating costs of the four Spirit-Gathering Arrays, an Illusion Array, and a Five Phases Array, there would still be a net profit of over nine hundred spirit stones.
After calculating it in his mind, a trace of joy flashed in He Songs eyes.
A thousand spirit stones.
If calculated based on his current annual salary, it would be enough for him to save for about ten years.
But now,
He just needs to wait until two years later when he could arrange the Five Phases Array. Then he can plant spirit rice here, and his annual income would reach 1,000 spirit stones!
By then, his income for one year would be equal to his income for ten years now.
Even,
If he opened up several more spirit fields like this in other places it wouldnt be impossible to have an annual income of several thousand spirit stones.
If it really came to that,
With his annual income of several thousand spirit stones,
Even with the extremely expensive Foundation Establishment Elixir, which attracts countless cultivators to compete for it, hed be able to obtain them effortlessly!
By that time
He Song quickly regained composure and forcibly calmed himself down.
Its still early.
Its still early.
These things would have to wait until two years later when he could arrange the Five Phases Array. Only then would they start to become a reality.
Nowadays, he was just a fifth-tier Qi Refining cultivator, with an annual salary of just over a hundred spirit stones.
Thinking so much was useless.
It was better to calm down and slowly comprehend the Five Phases Array.
When everything was ripe, he could make the next step.
His gaze swept around.
The four Spirit-Gathering Arrays had started to operate, forcibly confining wisps of spirit Qi within their scope and merging them into the soil below.
Seeing this, He Song frowned.
The valley was still green at the moment.
Since he did not know how much area the four Spirit-Gathering Arrays could cover previously, He Song had not cleared any land in advance.
But now, after determining the coverage of the Spirit-Gathering Arrays, it was time to prepare ten acres of land.
With that thought, he acted.
He Song used Object Controlling Skills and instantly turned over a large patch of grass, revealing the dark soil beneath.
The dark soil indicated fertile land, which was excellent for planting spirit fields.
After a while,
It took He Songs spirit power and Object Controlling Skills to finally prepare the ten acres of land covered by the Spirit -Gathering Arrays.
At this moment,
The originally green valley now had an additional ten-acre field, while the surrounding area was still verdant grass. Seeing this, He Song nodded slightly.
Next,
He just needed to wait for two years until these ten acres of land were completely transformed into a spirit field.
After comprehending the Five Phases Array, he could come here and start planting spirit rice.
By that time,
He would no longer worry about spirit stones.
He wouldnt have to begrudge using spirit stones like now, wishing he could split each in half to spend.
After putting all the spirit stones needed for the arrays in the valley to run normally for a year, He Songs figure submerged underground and quickly headed towards Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
This place,
Was hundreds of miles away from the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
He Song remembered the direction and made some marks. Next year, he would return to replenish the spirit stones for the five arrays here.
That day, He Song returned to the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
And he took back the responsibility of managing the Medicine Garden from Wei Fan.
Nobody noticed He Songs departure from the Immortal Pavilion apart from himself.
Even Wei Fan and the others in the Medicine Garden only knew that He Song had been in seclusive cultivation these days.
But, all they knew were these.
He Songs departure from the Immortal Pavilion was unknown to anyone.
Since leaving the Immortal Pavilion, having a walk around the mortal city, and opening up ten acres of his own spirit field hundreds of miles away from the Pavilion, He Songs life had calmed down again.
On normal days, he would guard the Medicine Garden during the daytime and use the rich spirit Qi in the garden to improve his cultivation.
At night, he would return home and constantly study the Five Phases Array, hoping to quickly master it and set it up.
However, even though he was still diligently studying Array Tao Introduction, He Songs attention shifted to other skills.
Amulet making, elixir refinement, artifacts refinement, beast taming
After pondering these money-making skills, He Song decided to learn one.
Not for any other reason, but merely to launder spirit stones.
Yes! Spirit stones needed laundering too.
However, the laundering mentioned here did not refer to washing with water as literally understood.
But rather.
