Gou Zai Shen seeks immortality

Chapter 15 Earthworm plague

The Dahuang Mountain is extremely vast, and its aura is much richer than that of the outer city of Dahuangfang City. The mountain is inhabited by tenant farmers who specialize in growing spiritual rice for the Five Elements Sect. They plant thousands of acres of spiritual fields, supporting the demand for spiritual rice in Dahuangfang City.

Spiritual farmers rely on growing spiritual rice and earning spiritual stones for cultivation.

Before Jia Ren went to Yanbo Lake to fish for spiritual fish, he also considered going to Dahuang Mountain to plant spiritual fields.

The income is not high, but stability is better.

"Why did you come to Dahuang Mountain?"

As soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Jia Ren was spotted by a guard patrolling the mountain nearby, looking unhappy.

"Could it be that you want to steal spiritual rice?"

"Have casual cultivators gone crazy lately?! Stealing unripe spiritual rice!"

The spiritual rice is of great importance, and there are guards patrolling it day and night to prevent the monks from stealing the spiritual rice.

In previous years, you only need to focus on preparing for the mature season of spiritual rice.

I don’t know what happened this year, but all the spiritual rice that hadn’t grown yet was stolen, and I was so poor that I went crazy.

"Jia came to Dahuang Mountain to find friends."

"Register!"

"Remember, you are not allowed to stay in the wilderness for a long time."

Jia Ren wisely left a spiritual mark on the mountain patrol order, and the patrol guards let him enter Dahuang Mountain.

Each monk has a special spiritual aura that is difficult to forge.

The aura mark is left in the patrol order. As long as it appears within the sensing range of the patrol order, the specific location can be accurately located.

If the stay time is exceeded, the mountain patrol guards will come to chase you away.

Jia Ren left the mountain patrol station and went straight up the mountain along the aisle left by the terraces.

The green rice reaches half a person's height and is already heading into the ear, with tiny grains of sesame-sized rice hanging on it.

They sway in the wind, emitting a light scent of grass and wood.

Green sprout rice?

It will take a few more months to mature, and by then, new rice will be on the market.

"What do you want to do?"

There were shouts, and an old man with a straw hat on his head and dark-red skin on his exposed skin walked out of the field, staring at Jia Ren with a wary face.

Anyone who sees a strange face next to the spiritual field and looks at the immature green sprouts will feel uneasy.

Especially after the incident of stealing immature spiritual rice, it is particularly suspicious.

"I came to Dahuang Mountain to look for someone. I wonder where fellow Taoist Yang Bingzhi lives?"

Jia Ren didn't know where Yang Bingzhi lived, so he had to find someone to ask for directions.

"It turns out I'm looking for Bingzhi! Could it be that he's here to help with pest control?"

"Going all the way up, there is a jujube tree in front of the door, which is his home."

"Forget it, let me lead you!"

There are hundreds of households in Dahuang Mountain, and they are all familiar with each other.

Guessing that Jia Ren might be invited to help with pest control, the old man became more enthusiastic.

After walking two miles, the two saw a jujube tree with small yellow flowers in the distance and smelled the light fragrance of jujube flowers in the air.

"Bingzhi, someone is looking for you!"

The old man shouted from a distance but didn't hear any movement in the room.

"No one? Look at me, I almost forgot!"

"There has been an insect infestation recently. Boy Bingzhi should be killing insects in the fields."

"follow me!"

Following the spiritual field, the two went around and finally found Yang Bingzhi.

"Okay, that kid is in the spiritual field. The old man still has something to do, so I won't go over."

"Thank you!"

Without the help of the old man, it would be troublesome to find people in the wilderness.

"Fellow Taoist Yang Bingzhi, it's really not easy to find you!"

Jia Ren stood outside the spiritual field, sighing at Yang Bingzhi.

I searched for him many times in Fangshi, but no trace was found, so I had to come to Dahuang Mountain to look for him.

Yang Bingzhi stared at the spiritual field seriously, and used Geng's golden finger from time to time to kill the spiritual insects that destroyed the spiritual field. Every time a spiritual insect is killed, the insect corpse is thrown into the storage bag.

Most of the ordinary spirit insects are inedible and can only be fed to monk spirit beasts without any hope of selling them at a high price.

Making money is a process of accumulating a little into a lot. If you accumulate enough spirit insect corpses, you can sell a few broken spirits.

"Fellow Daoist Jia? Why are you here?"

Yang Bingzhi turned around and saw Jia Ren, with a look of surprise on his face.

Put down the pest control work on your hands and trot over.

"Friend Daoist Jia probably wants to buy earth dragon worms. This matter is easy to handle."

"Purchasing spiritual rice is a little troublesome. The spiritual rice in my hand is gone, and I am left with low-quality rice to eat."

Yang Bingzhi was a little embarrassed. He rubbed the mud on his hands, looking very reserved.

The two only had business contacts and did not have a deep friendship.

Yang Bingzhi was quite surprised that Jia Ren came to the door.

"Put the spiritual rice aside for now, I want to buy some insect eggs."

Purchasing Lingmi is easy, rice stores are always open, and there is still Lingmi in stock, which is enough for the time being.

Only the earthworms and eggs needed Yang Bingzhi's help.

"Insect eggs?"

Yang Bingzhi looked strange and raised his hand to point in the direction of Lingtian.

"There is no need for the spirit stone."

"After all, the ground is full of spiritual insects and insect eggs. I'll find them for you right now."

Jia Ren followed Yang Bingzhi and wanted to enter the spiritual field, but was stopped.

"The ground is full of mud, don't dirty the Taoist priest's robe."

"It's easy to get rid of pests and find eggs."

Perhaps because he has been cultivating spiritual fields, Yang Bingzhi's circle of friends are all in Dahuang Mountain, and he seems a bit 'humble' towards the monks in Dahuangfang City.

More of an attempt to please Jia Ren as a benefactor.

"It doesn't matter. We still need to identify the spiritual insect eggs. We don't want all insect eggs."

"The insect eggs in the spiritual field are also your property, how can you let your work go in vain?"

"There is an insect infestation in the spiritual field. I can help in some way."

Jia Ren followed Yang Bingzhi into the muddy rice fields. His fourth-level spiritual sense was sharp, and he soon discovered insects gathering under the ears, leaf nodes, or roots of the rice.

There are both larvae and adults.

They may be large or small, so small that they are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

It is as big as a fist and dares to attack the monks, it is very fierce.

Spiritual insects constantly eat the spiritual rice seedlings, which will inevitably cause a reduction in spiritual rice production, which is not a trivial matter for spiritual farmers.

"There's an infestation of hornworms. There are hornworms everywhere."

The hornworm is a beetle about the size of an egg. It has a dark carapace and a long pointed head that is good at burrowing into the ground.

Yang Bingzhi skillfully moved the Geng Golden Finger, and a golden finger light passed by, killing the hornworm accurately.

When the hornworms sensed the aura of living people, they either hid in the ground or attacked the two of them.

In a short period of time, no less than a hundred of them gathered.

Yang Bingzhi was tired of using the Geng Gold Finger.

It's not that he hasn't mastered more lethal spells, but that if he casts such spells, Lingmi will also suffer.

There are too many bugs, and the efficiency of killing them at a single point is too low, and they will not be able to kill them all.

I can only watch the hornworms wreaking havoc in the spiritual field and destroying the spiritual rice.

"Oh, we have to ask the pest control team for help. It can't be done by one person."

"Fellow Daoist Jia, you look for the eggs first, and I'll go and hurry up the pest control team."

Yang Bingzhi looked helpless and could only spend money to avoid disaster and solve the pest problem.

The year of pest infestation is different from the past. It is difficult to hire a pest control team and the cost is higher.

While Lingmi production is reduced, it also has to bear the high cost of pest control.

Farming is a waste of time for a year, and I have to build spiritual stones in it.

"Go ahead."

Jia Ren saw Yang Bingzhi's dilemma. Insect plague was a serious problem for spiritual farmers.

If others treat themselves with sincerity, Jia Ren should do his best.

"The newly broken insect control technique has a place to be used!"

Jia Ren looked at a hornworm with a dark shell and skillfully used insect control techniques.

Forced control successful!

The consumption is ten times higher than controlling mosquitoes, and you can faintly feel the resistance of hornworms.

Controlling too many hornworms may be a burden.

Jia Ren controlled more than 30 ground hornworms in a short period of time. Jia Ren controlled the ground hornworms to attack similar species to kill the spiritual insects he saw.

The efficiency of getting rid of pests with insects is not low.

During this period, the dead hornworms were constantly replaced, and the proficiency in insect control skills increased rapidly.

"After the skill breaks through the limit point, the insect control technique changes astonishingly, which can be called a transformation."

"A master of insect control!"

The level of proficiency in insect control skills increased, and the upper limit of ground hornworm control increased. Only after controlling the fiftieth ground hornworm did he feel the pressure.

Fifty ground hornworms are invincible along the way, attacking and invincible.

The insect removal efficiency is many times faster than that of Geng Gold Finger.

"I'm a good candidate for pest control."

With the help of insect plague, it is quite easy to find insect eggs, and hundreds of eggs can be found in a short time.

Most of them are hornworm eggs, and other spiritual insects are rare.

After searching for half a circle, his expression became even weirder.

Is it possible that there are only hornworms in the spiritual field?

It is recorded in the Insect Control Sutra that hornworms have low reproductive capacity and are not likely to cause disasters.

I always feel like something is wrong.

Just when Jia Ren was confused, Yang Bingzhi brought an acquaintance to the fields.
