All sects work

Chapter 152 Thirty thousand catties

Ever since he witnessed Shi Xuanying's skills that day, Lu Xi knew that he was no match for her.

Under the coercion and inducement, it was difficult for him to muster any desire to resist, and he was just being lazy out of habit these days.

"Your skills have reached their peak." Shi Xuanying pointed out his dilemma with one sentence.

There are many inherited cultivation techniques in this world, but unfortunately after the spiritual energy was exhausted, they are no longer applicable.

Lu Xi's ancestors were from a family of cultivators, so when he first started learning archery, he had better skills at hand. However, after weighing the pros and cons, he reluctantly used the "castrated" version.

He was extremely talented and reached the Grand Master level before he was thirty.

This is the upper limit of this world, but it is not the upper limit of Lu Xi. Therefore, he always feels like a giant whale thrown into a shallow stream and forced to grow into a small fish.

Compared to the endless road with no end in sight, this feeling of easily reaching the "top" is more uncomfortable.

It is often said that "it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix", but for Lu Xi, he has the potential to be the head of a phoenix, so why should he be the head of a chicken?
Unfortunately, after more than 20 years of exploration, he had no choice but to give up and simply devote himself to nature.

In fact, when he chose the martial arts method, he had already been mentally prepared and had compromised with this world from the beginning, so it was not difficult to accept.

However, now that he had sufficient spiritual energy, the flaws of the technique were exposed.

Master Xuanying condensed a long stick in her hand and wrote a piece of mental method on the floor tiles.

Lu Xi's eyes became brighter and brighter as he looked at it. This turned out to be the "advanced version" of the technique he was currently practicing, which was between the family-inherited technique and the castrated version, and was more suitable for the present.

"This, this is..." Lu Xi reacted and realized that Master Xuanying had grabbed his forehead not only to threaten him, but also to find out the operation of his martial arts and gave him a solution in a blink of an eye!

"Thank you, sir!" Lu Xi was shocked and moved to tears. He immediately lifted his robe, knelt on one knee, and respectfully paid his respects to Master Xuanying.

Shi Xuanying lowered her eyes and looked at his gray hair, feeling regretful.

Lu Xi's innate conditions were too good, even better than those in her previous life. It was a pity that she was born in a world of the Dharma Ending Age, and now they have long been reduced to ashes.

This was the second genius that Shi Xuanying met in Chenjie.

"You stand up." The stick turned a few times in her hand and turned into a wisp of smoke and dissipated. "I invited you here to train my army. This is also one of the rewards you deserve. I think Master Lu will not let me down?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xi looked up, and when his eyes met hers, he saw the compassion in her eyes. His heart was shaken, and he couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

"I will repay your kindness, even at the cost of fire and water!"

His voice was strong and resolute enough to hear his determination.

Shi Xuanying smiled and said, "You don't have to go through fire and water. Just don't slack off and that will be your repayment."

Lu Xi's old face turned red, and he said hesitantly: "I will, I will be extremely careful in the future!"

"Practice first, and come to me in a few days to get the complete skills." She may be pitiful, but once the donkey is tied to the harness, it has to pull the mill obediently. How can her things be taken so easily?

Lu Xi had no idea what she was thinking. He just watched her spreading her spiritual energy and giving him advice without hesitation. He was deeply moved and secretly vowed to train her the most powerful army of archers and crossbows in the world!
Shi Xuanying saw his expression and knew that there was no big problem.

Seeing her walk away slowly with her hands behind her back, Lu Xi stopped at the door and said with disdain, "Why are you so stingy? You are so reluctant to use your spiritual energy. You are wasting a good formation."

Lu Xi's face flushed, and he said unconvincedly: "This formation is more than enough to stop the Grand Master!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another stunning beauty appeared in the yard.

The slap in the face came so unexpectedly that Lu Xi's face was extremely exciting. Zhuang Qiqi didn't know what had just happened, and only handed the letter in his hand to Shi Xuanying: "It's a letter from Linxi County, and it was sent over with a few bags of grain seeds."

Shi Xuanying's heart was moved. Could it be that there was some progress in the grain? !

She opened the letter, quickly scanned it, burst into laughter, handed the letter to Zhuang Qiqi, and left humming a little tune.

Zhuang Qiqi nodded to Lu Xi as a greeting, then ran out while reading the letter.

Bai Xuexing, as the strongest pharmacist of Tiantongmen, has an extraordinary understanding of plants. He has also grown spiritual rice. After arriving in Linxi County, he produced high-yield grain seeds in a few days, and used formations and spiritual energy to ripen ten acres of land.

The yield of the new grain has exceeded 1,000 kilograms per mu. Even if ordinary people cannot use spiritual energy, they can still harvest 800 to 900 kilograms if they take good care of it.

The Small Chen Kingdom has thousands of miles of fertile fields, and its grain varieties are of good quality, with an output of 500 kilograms per mu, which is far ahead among all countries.

It was also because of this that the wealthy small Chen State attracted the covetousness of the Qu and Xu States, who were willing to pay a huge price to obtain this land.

The soil in Linxi County and Tao County is also very fertile, but unfortunately there is very little land suitable for farming. Now that we have new grain varieties, we will surely have a good harvest next season.

However, it may not be easy to ask the people to give up their already good grain seeds and plant a new seed.

Shi Xuanying first ordered people to spread the news. A few days later, both counties knew that the county magistrate had new grain seeds, which were said to produce 700 kilograms per mu. If they were well taken care of, maybe even more!
Although a grain yield of 500 kilograms per mu is already good enough, there are still many families who cannot get enough food.

Because the two counties have a small amount of cultivated land and more than 30% of the land is in the hands of large households in the county, the amount of land allocated to each ordinary family is very small.

If we can produce an extra 200 kilograms per mu, save some money and eat less refined grains, it will be enough for two people to eat for a year. If a family has three to five mu of land, they can produce hundreds or even thousands of kilograms of grain. What is the concept? !

When this result was calculated, everyone went crazy!
However, although people are tempted, few can make up their minds to plant it.

After all, everyone knew that the new county magistrate was from Qu State. The ridiculous grain production of Qu State was "famous" among the various countries. It was said that in those places to the north, the yield per mu was only more than 100 kilograms, and sometimes even only a few dozen kilograms.

How could the Qu people have such good grain seeds!
When someone asked Master Xuanying about this, she pretended not to know: "You all know everything!"

Then she said in a rather distressed tone, "Actually, after I arrived in Linxi County, I ordered the mystics to research new grain varieties, and we have recently achieved some results. However, the number of grain varieties is small, so they cannot be promoted for the time being. This year, we will only plant them in the government fields to see if we can, or select a few more households for trial planting."

Mystic?!

Then it won’t be surprising what comes out.

After the news spread, the two counties were in an uproar. Countless people ran to the government office to inquire about the situation. Some wealthy families who owned dozens of acres of land even volunteered to try to grow the new grain varieties.

They have a lot of land, unlike ordinary people who rely on a few acres of land for their livelihood.

Anyway, the county magistrate has little grain and cannot give away too much. Setting aside seven or eight acres as experimental fields will have no effect on them at all.

Shi Xuanying did not agree easily, but just dragged them aside, saying that she needed to think about it carefully.

She personally sent a batch of spirit stones to Linxi County, urging Bai Xuexing to produce another 30,000 kilograms of grain seeds.

Bai Xuexing's face darkened: "30,000 jin?! Why don't you want 300,000 jin!"

"I'm afraid you'll be too tired." Shi Xuanying smiled apologetically, "I underestimated you. If you're willing, 300,000 jin would be even better."

Did he mean it?

Bai Xuexing was so angry that she almost broke her Buddhist beads: "Do you know how much energy it takes for me to make one acre of land grow?"
