Chapter 3 Dealing with Spiritual Rice
A night without words.
Tian Xiaobao opened his eyes to the sound of the bell, which came from the time tower in the center of the town.
Time-telling towers are a very common thing in this world. I heard that the time-telling tower in Roushui Town was built jointly by Duobao Pavilion and several other chambers of commerce. This building is very unique and it does not make a loud sound.
However, it can be accurately transmitted to the ears of everyone in the town, reminding people of the current time. This shocked Tian Xiaobao, who was new to this world.
In fact, buildings, installations, and facilities like this are everywhere in the world of cultivating immortals. People can't help but marvel at the magic of spiritual energy and the ingenuity of cultivators.
Stretching out in front of the door, Tian Xiaobao began to wash up in a comfortable mood, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the spiritual rice piled in the yard, and he laughed from time to time.
Today’s main task is to go to Xiannong Store to rent a spiritual weapon for processing spiritual rice.
After washing up, Tian Xiaobao left the house, locked the door, and walked to the street. There was a breakfast shop there. He spent two broken spirit crystals to eat something, and then walked to the Xiannong shop.
There are more than one Xiannong store in Roushui Town, but only one in the north of the town has the tools to rent spiritual rice.
Other Xiannong stores basically sell spiritual plants, spiritual seeds, agricultural spiritual tools, and spiritual insects.
Tian Xiaobao's father, Tian Dashan, originally wanted to open such a fairy farm store mainly selling spiritual seeds, but unfortunately the store collapsed before the store could be opened.
When we arrived at this Xiannong store, there was an old man standing behind the counter, dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a monocle. Without raising his head, he glanced sideways at Tian Xiaobao and said casually: "What do you need?"
Tian Xiaobao despised this kind of shop that didn't take customers seriously. He curled his lips, but still said respectfully: "Shopkeeper, I would like to rent your shop's spiritual rice processing equipment. I don't know the price?"
"Three spiritual stones a day." Hearing that Tian Xiaobao was just renting, not a big business, the shopkeeper didn't care anymore and said casually.
Three spiritual stones a day? Isn’t this a money grab?! It’s so expensive just to rent it!
He is simply a profiteer! Tian Xiaobao cursed in his heart but did not dare to say it.
He could only smile coquettishly and said: "That shopkeeper, my small farm has only two acres of spiritual rice. It won't last a whole day. Let's see if I can rent it for half a day?"
"Half a day? We don't have this rule in our store. If you want to rent, you can rent. If you don't want to rent, please leave. Don't delay my business." The old man snorted softly and said.
Tian Xiaobao scolded this old man in his heart again, he doesn't know anything about business, he is stubborn!
There was no way, the store was bullying customers, and they also had their own rules. Tian Xiaobao could only spend 3 spirit stones to rent it for a whole day and touched his own pocket.
If this year's grain cannot be sold, he really doesn't know how he will survive.
Tian Xiaobao got the rented spiritual weapon for processing spiritual rice. The spiritual weapon was not large and looked like an urn.
I don’t know what material it is made of. There is a small black hole on both sides, and unknown runes are carved on the surface. Tian Xiaobao is not sure whether it is a special inscription for a purpose or if it is for decoration.
In fact, processing spiritual rice is very simple, just two steps, drying and shelling. Of course, if you don’t use spiritual tools to process it, you can also dry it naturally and shell it manually, but it will greatly lose the spiritual energy in the rice.
, Secondly, it will delay the opportunity to sell grain.
After receiving the spiritual weapon, Tian Xiaobao did not go home immediately. He walked around the commercial street before going back. It was already three o'clock in the morning, and the sun was scorching the earth fiercely, and the aura in the air seemed to be burned away.<
/p>
The first thing Tian Xiaobao did after returning home was to immediately deal with the spiritual rice. He immediately took out the rented spiritual weapon and started processing it. The spiritual rice on the two acres of land was processed in a matter of seconds.
At this time, it was still early before the sun set, and not even half a day had been used.
Tian Xiaobao once again lamented in his heart that the three spirit stone flowers were not worth it.
The working principle of this spiritual weapon is very simple, that is, a large handful of spiritual rice needs to be manually placed on it. With the blessing of runes, the spiritual weapon will emit a specific fire aura to dry the spiritual rice.
Then the Gengjin sword, which is transformed into golden spiritual energy, will be emitted to shell the rice grains one by one. It sounds cumbersome, but in fact, its work efficiency is very fast.
Looking at the spiritual rice piled on a big cloth in the middle of the yard, he giggled and felt full of accomplishment. This was the result of his busy work for a whole year.
Over the past year, Tian Xiaobao has spent most of his energy on these two acres of spiritual land, despite the wind and sun, watering and fertilizing, catching insects and eliminating pests.
Continuing to look at these spiritual rice infatuatedly, Tian Xiaobao suddenly had an idea in his heart! Damn it, why don’t you try the spiritual rice that you have grown so hard for a year first?! Can you sell it all?
Once this thought came to his mind, his heart felt like it was scratched by his claws, and he wanted to steam a pot of rice and try it immediately.
In order to save money in the past few years, I have never been willing to eat it, so I must steam it in a pot today! So Tian Xiaobao found a small basin, tremblingly held a large handful of spiritual rice and put it in.
You know, these spiritual rice are the source of livelihood for spiritual farmers, and some spiritual farmers are reluctant to eat even a grain of rice.
Just to earn more broken spirit crystals.
Tian Xiaobao had eaten it a few times a long time ago, and he vaguely remembered that the taste could produce warm aura throughout his body.
He looked at Lingmi in front of him, his eyes were like looking at a beautiful woman, and he was so mean-spirited that saliva almost came out of his mouth.
There is no way, Tian Xiaobao only has one sentence in his heart at this moment: "I'm so greedy."
Ordinary spiritual farmers are basically reluctant to keep the harvested spiritual rice to eat themselves. These are all spiritual stones! If you eat them, it is tantamount to chewing spiritual stones!
After taking away the spiritual rice for tonight's dinner, Tian Xiaobao put the remaining spiritual rice into several special sacks. These sacks were not ordinary sacks. He bought them casually when he visited the commercial street at noon.
p>
This kind of sack is made of special spiritual grass, which can maximize the spiritual power and taste of the spiritual rice.
There are about 10 sacks in total. Tian Xiaobao estimates that they are about a thousand kilograms. According to the price in this world, ten kilograms of spiritual rice and one spiritual stone. This year he can probably harvest 100 spiritual stones.
Not surprisingly, these 100 spiritual stones will be all the expenses for his life and cultivation in the next year.
When Tian Xiaobao packaged all the rice, it was getting dark. He carried the 10 sacks into the side room and waited for the harvester to come tomorrow.
After completing these tasks, Tian Xiaobao rubbed his hands with a smile, held the spiritual rice he had just taken out, and took a deep breath. "Ah——" It was the rich aroma of rice. This smell made Tian Xiaobao feel like he was taking drugs.
Intoxicated.
The spiritual rice is extremely clean after being processed by the spiritual weapon. There is no need to wash the rice at all. Tian Xiaobao directly opens the pot and steams it.
To talk about the magic of this world, even the pot and stove are a kind of spiritual weapon. Spiritual stones are used to activate the fire-attribute runes to produce flames for cooking. It can be seen that the use of spiritual energy has involved all aspects of life.
p>
Judging from Tian Xiaobao's many years of observation in this world, this world is in a state close to the end of the Dharma era. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is lacking and cultivation is difficult.
Many spiritual animals and plants are gradually decreasing in number, and people's cultivation is not as high as that of their ancestors.
Therefore, people have developed this kind of spiritual weapon for daily use in order to use the smallest amount of energy and convert it into greater power.
Just when Tian Xiaobao was missing the high-rise buildings and busy traffic of that world, a refreshing aroma came from the pot.
It’s the aroma of spiritual rice!
It’s cooked! The rice is cooked! I can finally eat rice!
Tian Xiaobao was so moved that he almost cried. He hurriedly opened the lid of the pot, making the aroma of rice more intense and blowing towards his face, faintly stimulating the spiritual energy in his body.
Regardless of the fact that the spirit rice burned his mouth, Tian Xiaobao stuck out his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth greedily. The whole mouth was filled with the full grains of spirit rice.
The unique aroma of Lingmi goes straight to the mind. After chewing it for a few times, it turns into fluid and penetrates into the body before it reaches the throat.
Then the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual rice slowly flowed to the limbs and bones, and gathered at the Dantian. Tian Xiaobao felt that his cultivation level had increased, and he was only a little short of breaking through the second level of Qi training.
Why are people so keen on spiritual rice? Because spiritual rice is one of the few foods in the world that can be eaten directly without refining to achieve cultivation. Although the amount of spiritual energy is insufficient, it is more docile than many other foods.
The elixir is overbearing and powerful.
Just when Tian Xiaobao closed his eyes and enjoyed the happiness brought by this delicious food and struggled to appreciate the taste of Lingmi, there was a "crack"! He chewed something hard.
"Oh my God! Didn't I say that the processed rice is very clean and there is no need to wash it? Why is there still sand here? Grandma, it's killing me!"
"Bah!" Tian Xiaobao spit it out into the palm of his hand. Under the moonlight, a golden grain of rice shone brightly, as if it were made of gold. It looked lifelike, but it was a pity that it was stained with Tian Xiaobao's saliva and blood.
Chapter completed!
