Chapter 31: The Sect Master is Picking Up Trash Outside to Support You
Although sales were low in the early stages, they gradually accumulated, and in the later stages, the business grew into a considerable fortune.
Seeing the promising future of brewing, several Players and Fan Guozhou later joined in.
After all, Fan Guozhou was only one person; it’s more suitable to scale up with more people.
In addition, Zhou Xiao and a male Player were responsible for researching gourmet food within the Game, so they decided to jointly open a wine workshop and a gourmet food workshop.
First, infiltrate the Mortal population; we’ll take whatever we can get.
And at this point in time, Chen Miaomiao made a significant discovery.
She discovered that the reason mature Spirit Herbs easily die when their roots and stems are cut is that the process of picking them also requires Spiritual Energy for nourishment.
It’s like in reality, where some flowers and plants need to be immediately placed in water even when moved.
You can’t just roughly pick them off.
Here, it requires continuous nourishment from Spiritual Energy.
However, the nourishment process is also troublesome; the Spiritual Energy provided needs to be at the same rate as they naturally absorb it during growth. Too slow or too fast won’t work.
And ordinary Qi Refining Stage disciples do not have the ability to control this flexibly.
The Spirit Herb seedlings that A Wu bought were specially soaked by Medicine Sect disciples.
Therefore, they can remain alive for a long time.
This soaked Spiritual Energy medicinal water is a specialty of the Medicine Sect. Chen Miaomiao hasn’t managed to research it yet, but at least she already knows how to improve the survival rate of Spirit Herbs using conventional methods.
A Wu left her ten Spirit Herb seedlings in the ground without picking them.
Initially, Chen Miaomiao didn’t have the right method; when she picked them, the roots and stems would break, and both the Spirit Herb and its roots and stems would die.
Now, only two plants remain. She has already successfully separated thirteen Spirit Herb seedlings from the previous five Spirit Herbs, so she doesn’t need to buy more, just some fertilizer and water.
Chen Miaomiao also plans to research this.
At least in this regard, as long as the Longevity Sect has Chen Miaomiao, it’s guaranteed that they won’t need to spend extra money to buy seedlings in the future.
A Wu was stunned when he found out.
He had raised them for so many years and didn’t know this method for Spirit Herbs. He had tried it, but it didn’t work at all.
He asked Chen Miaomiao how she did it, and Chen Miaomiao gently explained to him, “Spiritual Energy needs a process to nourish and circulate in the roots and stems. The root system length of each Spirit Herb is different, so the duration of this process will vary. What we need to do is measure the most suitable time to ensure the Spiritual Energy can circulate normally…”
Her observation, which combined modern knowledge with Cultivation, left A Wu stunned.
After listening for a long time, he didn’t understand a single word.
A Wu felt embarrassed and gave up, patting his head, “Junior Sister, you handle this aspect.”
Chen Miaomiao: “Okay.”
Actually, the higher the Cultivation, the easier it is to understand these things. However, everyone here is at the Qi Refining Stage, so they can only rely on rote memorization…
She wrote a template of this theory and posted it in the group.
It would be best if they could understand it. For those who couldn’t, like Wu Dahu and others, it was the first time they felt their heads were big from cultivating.
Moreover, not everyone has the same Talent as Chen Miaomiao. Even if they understand it, actually performing the operation is another matter.
Regardless, everything is developing in a positive direction.
Song Jiulai was diligently grinding away on First Mountain.
She had been there for seven days and hadn’t entered the Tier 2 range with Lin Qian yet, but she had killed quite a few First Order Demonic Beasts.
She separated from Lin Qian and conducted an experiment. She discovered that she could expend all her Spiritual Energy to cast six or seven Large Fireballs at once, which was sufficient to deal with two or three First Order Demonic Beasts with low lethality.
Any more than that wouldn’t work.
She had to stop and rest for a while, and her recovery was quite fast.
Comparing it to Lin Qian’s usual combat style, she would pause after casting several Fireball Techniques.
And they were much smaller than Song Jiulai’s. Without taking pills, she would need to rest for half a day on the spot to be at full strength.
Song Jiulai sensed the gap between herself and Lin Qian. When she acted in front of Lin Qian, she would consciously hold back some of her power and also rest for a long time like Lin Qian.
When out and about, being cautious doesn’t hurt.
Spiritual Energy recovery requires a certain amount of Time, and hunting Demonic Beasts does indeed increase the fullness of Spiritual Energy within the body, and her combat ability is also improving.
In the beginning, she would cry out in alarm when she saw ugly-looking Demonic Beasts, her skin crawling and her sanity dropping at the sight. Now, after killing a few Demonic Beasts and picking up their corpses, she could do it with a straight face.
However, the Mustard Seed Bag that Su Huanli gave her wasn’t very large, and soon dozens of Demonic Beasts filled it up.
The price for intact Demonic Beast corpses was higher, but most people would directly kill them and extract the key parts they needed.
Demonic Beast Material could be used for various purposes.
Some could be used for Artifact Refining, and some for Alchemy. Although First Order Demonic Beasts weren’t very useful individually, they were plentiful.
Song Jiulai was too poor to bear digging them out…
Following Lin Qian was alright; at least she got to share a Tier 2 Qi Replenishing Pill.
This thing was indeed more effective than a First Order one. Song Jiulai could recover half her Spiritual Energy with this and still kill a few more Demonic Beasts.
It was just too expensive.
She knew Lin Qian was prepared when she dared to go out!
Furthermore, she had prepared Food that could replenish Qi and blood, indicating that Lin Qian had made long-term preparations.
She wondered how large her Mustard Seed Bag was.
Even an Outer Disciple from the Medicine Sect was so rich; Song Jiulai was so envious she was drooling.
She had originally planned to return, but then she discovered a way to cheat by exploiting a bug.
She could actually use these Demonic Beast corpses as direct rewards for Players.
Here’s how it happened.
When Fan Guozhou was selling wine outside, since A Wu had paid for the rice and Fruit earlier, he first repaid that amount. After that, he chose to submit 30% of the money from selling wine to the System in exchange for Points.
Although sales were not high in the early stages, the accumulation led to five Low-grade Spirit Stones in the Sect’s account.
This was a very good start.
Song Jiulai believed it was necessary to give rewards to boost morale, so she asked the System, “What do you think is the best reward?”
Money was definitely out of the question for now.
Live Broadcast permissions would be settled at the end of the month.
The System said, “You can reward the Demonic Beast Material you killed.”
Song Jiulai was stunned: “Send it directly?”
System: “Yes, I can directly issue any Sect property to you.”
“… Damn it, why didn’t you say so earlier!!!”
All the way here, she was afraid of wasting Mustard Seed Bag space and didn’t dare to pick up even some useless broken Minerals she saw!
System: “You didn’t ask before.”
Song Jiulai: “… You beast, what kind of system acts like you?”
System: “As long as you work hard like a donkey, you can call me whatever you want.”
“…”
Song Jiulai carefully picked and chose along the way and found a place to dig out the shells of two First Order Demonic Beasts, Jade Spiders.
The Jade Spider shells were about the size of a head, the only things that could be considered beautiful.
It was just that Song Jiulai kept gagging while digging…
They were like jade and could be used for Artifact Refining.
She didn’t know what Fan Guozhou would do with them, but it was her intention as Sect Master.
Song Jiulai really wanted to provide him with some gourmet Demonic Beast Material, but it was too difficult for the ‘Demonic Beasts.’
They looked so bizarre, like mutated Zombies; who in their right mind would eat them.
Meanwhile, within the Longevity Sect.
【Ding, congratulations to Player Fan Guozhou for redeeming Sect Points for the first time. As a commendation, the Sect Master rewards Fan Guozhou with two pieces of First Order Demonic Beast Material, Jade Spider Shells. 】
【Jade Spider Shell: Demonic Beast Mineral type, can be used for Artifact Refining, best for defensive Artifacts. 】
【As there is no space to claim yet, please go to the Spawn Point to claim it, Fan Guozhou. 】
The first announcement was a group message.
After causing the Players to erupt in excitement, Song Jiulai, far away on First Mountain, was very satisfied.
My children, hurry up and work hard to make money.
Your Sect Master is picking up trash outside to support you!
