Blue Silver Grass Strategy

Ling Yi: "Anyway, I am very grateful to the Soul Master. If it weren't for you, I would have wanted to buy it but would not have been able to find a way——"

"You kid..." The young man smiled when he heard that, raised his hand and pointed at Ling Yi, saying: "Don't call me sir, I'm 26 years old this year. Since you call Mr. Lu uncle, you can also call me Uncle Yan~"

Just before his martial soul awakened, the young man introduced himself as Yan Bin, with the martial soul "Iron Spear" and a level 23 great soul master.

Ling Yi (well-behaved.JPG) "Okay, thank you Uncle Yan!"

Yan Bin: "Okay, that's it, there are still villages to go to -"

"Three days... um, five days, five days later, you come to Beikouhe Town, and then we'll talk..."

Ling Yi: “Okay!”

……

Outside Shanhai Village.

Ling Yi stood at the intersection and waved goodbye to Yan Bin, quietly watching the other person's back as he quickly left.

An enticing aroma of meat lingered in the air for a long time.

"Two roasted chickens, if placed at the Beikouhe Town market, could be exchanged for a basket of fruits and vegetables plus half a basket of brown bread—"

Zhang Lei, who appeared beside Ling Yi at some point, spoke while taking a breath.

"Brother Lei, that's not how it works." Ling Yi turned to look at Zhang Lei, then cast his gaze towards the empty end of the road, and said calmly, "Although we can buy the Basic Meditation Method from those people in town, it's more legitimate to have it given by the Spirit Hall deacon."

As early as two years ago, when Zhang Lei clearly sensed the existence of soul power in his body for the first time, Ling Yi asked Ling Xiaoshan and Zhang Dahe about it. There were several retired veterans, several elderly first-ring soul masters and small soul families in Beikouhe Town.

To call it a family, at most it can be regarded as a landlord family with a soul master or soul warrior as the core, with one wife, multiple concubines, and dozens of children, but only one or two of them have soul power.

Naturally, these people have meditation methods related to soul master cultivation.

Over the years, many people have come to them to buy the meditation method. As Yan Bin said before, it is useless to buy it because you cannot practice it without the spiritual power qualification.

At that time, the Ling and Zhang families still had some extra money because they raised pheasants and river fish, so they gritted their teeth and were able to buy a book.

However, Ling Yi still stopped the fact that Zhang Lei possessed soul power. Only the two brothers knew about it, and he did not tell the adults in his family.

After all, we are just villagers. We should be cautious in everything. Safety comes first!

Right now, Ling Yi's martial soul has awakened, his innate soul power has increased by half, and he has acquired the meditation method. It is a natural thing for him to do so. No matter who it is, no one will have any other ideas.

Thanks to book friends [Just like Meijianxuelaigu] and [Book friend 20200824213016611] for their monthly tickets, thanks to book friends [The light of seven stars] and book friend [Chitang] for their rewards, and also thanks to other book friends for their support, thank you all! ()-——

Chapter 16 Deferral of Admission

Five days later, Beikouhe Town.

There was no market today, so there weren't many people coming and going in the town. People were walking in groups of three or four, each on their own way. Ling Yi and Ling Xiaoshan were walking among them, and they were just two ordinary passers-by among the countless people.

In the blacksmith shop in the west of the town, Ling Xiaoshan took out a handful of copper soul coins and two silver soul coins and handed them to a sturdy man with a white beard. He took a bulging coarse cloth bag handed to him by the other party, opened it and took a look inside.

At the casting table next to it, a sturdy young man, sweating profusely, was hammering the red-hot iron ingot. The sound of the hammers was sometimes pleasant to the ear, and sometimes there were some noises.

Ling Yi stood obediently at the door, watching the scene in the shop quietly with curious eyes.

"Let's go~"

Ling Xiaoshan's clear voice rang in his ears, and a warm big hand covered his head, making Ling Yi withdraw his gaze.

Raising his head and meeting Ling Xiaoshan's smiling gaze, Ling Yi nodded: "Yeah!"

"Master Jiang, Bai Wa, they're gone—"

"Good~"

"Uncle, Ayi, walk slowly—"

Amid the greetings from the blacksmith shop owner and the sturdy young man, two figures, one big and one small, waved their hands and walked out of the town under the scorching sun.

"Clang! Clang—!"

As he walked, the coarse cloth bag carried in the bamboo basket on Ling Xiaoshan's back would occasionally make crisp sounds of metal clashing.

Six brand new iron hoe blades, put on six straight and strong long wooden sticks, and they will become six excellent hoes.

Now, the martial souls of the three male members of the Ling and Zhang families are all "hoes", so it is convenient for them to use the "Three Farmer's Styles" - the hoe style, but Ling Changqing, Ling Xiaoshan and Ling Yi himself need a hoe to perform.

In addition, my grandmother, my great-grandmother, my mother, and my eldest aunt would go to the fields to help with the work from time to time, as we would not be able to do without a hoe.

"Xiao Yi~"

"Ok?"

"Now that you have this 'Basic Meditation Method', you must practice it well and don't work in the fields..." Ling Xiaoshan looked down at Ling Yi and said in a serious manner.

Hearing this, Ling Yi patted his chest with his hand, feeling the thin booklet inside. He turned to look at his father and replied in the same serious tone: "Dad, don't worry, I will practice well."

"It's just~"

Ling Xiaoshan was about to nod when Ling Yi's voice rang out again: "Dad, when I took the "Basic Meditation Method" before, Uncle Yan Bin told me that each practice should not be too long. The length of practice in a day varies according to each person's talent. If it exceeds this time, not only will the efficiency become extremely low, but if you are not careful, it will also cause damage to the body..."

"Okay~" Ling Xiaoshan opened his mouth and was speechless after listening to Ling Yi's words. After all, he was a complete novice in martial spirit cultivation and did not have the slightest say.

Pursing his lips, Ling Xiaoshan seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, Xiaoyi, do you know how to use this meditation method?"

"Although we have taught you some words over the years, I don't know if it is enough. I suggest that we sell all the pheasants and rabbits we raise at home so that you can have the tuition to go to school in 'Muzhi City'..."

Ling Xiaoshan did not mention the quota for work-study students, because he and Ling Yi both knew that there was no place for them this year.

What is a work-study student?

How do the places for work-study students come about?

It's very simple. A city is supported by the surrounding villages and towns, which supply most of its daily consumption such as food, vegetables, fruits, meat, etc.

Among these, a considerable portion was contributed free of charge by residents of villages and towns, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was taxes provided to the rulers.

In this case, the masters are naturally willing to give those civilian soul masters who are qualified and have the hope of crossing the class a chance, a chance to enroll for free.

Not only is the admission free, but there are also some work-study opportunities available so that students can earn some food money during their spare time.

In this way, when these civilian soul masters grow up, whether they are absorbed into the masters' existing circle or return to their hometown to become a new master themselves, it will be all beneficial and without any harm.

If by chance one of them wins the jackpot and a genius emerges, we will make a fortune!

Pulling away, get back to business.

The quota for work-study students is allocated from the city where the Junior Soul Master Academy is located, based on the contribution of the towns and villages below, as well as the prosperity of the city itself.

Unfortunately, the [Shuimu Principality] is one of the smallest countries in Douluo Continent, and its national land area is smaller than the smallest province of the [Tiandou Empire].

In other words, this was originally split from the smallest province of the [Tiandou Empire].

There are only three cities in the whole country, and the capital city "Muzhi City" can only be regarded as an ordinary big city in Douluo Continent.

At the same time, due to the national conditions, people with soul master qualifications are mostly concentrated in three cities.

In the countryside, it often takes more than ten years for a soul master with the potential to cultivate to the Soul Master level or above to appear.

Therefore, most of the places for the Junior Soul Master Academy in "Muzhi City" were delegated to the township level, not the village level.

In short, there are places for work-study students, but there are only two or three in Beikouhe Town.

Coincidentally, this year three descendants of soul masters in the town turned six years old and also awakened their innate soul powers.

As the children of soul masters, the probability of awakening innate soul power is higher...

On a sunny dirt road in the countryside, two figures, one big and one small, walked away gradually. The surrounding area was deserted. The breeze was a bit hot, sprinkling on the listless "blue silver grass" beside the road, breaking them into pieces of brilliant gold.

As he walked, Ling Yi calculated the "wealth" his family now possessed.

As for the matter of work-study student quotas, Ling Yi just went over it in his mind and then put it out of his mind.

Although entering school earlier would allow one to learn more knowledge related to martial souls and soul beasts, it is only a junior soul master academy, and the students still practice the "Basic Meditation Method".

Ling Yi has already confirmed this with Yan Bin.

In this case, for Ling Yi, whose innate soul power is only half level, it makes no difference whether he goes to school a year earlier or a year later.

Anyway, when you arrive at the academy, you will basically focus on soul power training, supplemented by learning information about martial souls and soul beasts.

In this case, it would be better to cultivate the soul power level at home first, and when the time is right, go to the Junior Soul Master Academy as a work-study student to acquire those knowledge.

With Ling Yi's current level of mental strength, and the learning ability and memory that he has developed, it should not be a problem for him to quickly master the teaching contents of a junior soul master academy, just like Yu Xiaogang in the original novel, who memorized all the books in the [Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family] and [Spirit Hall].

Facing the lush green vegetation on both sides of the country road, Ling Yi's eyes flickered with a faint light.

From tomorrow on, be a soul warrior who practices hard, and improve your physical, mental, and soul power at the same time.

Starting tomorrow, I will lead the relatives and friends of the Ling and Zhang families to farm, raise livestock, and hunt, and live a well-off life together!

Chapter 17 Six-Year Summary

After returning to Shanhai Village, Ling Xiaoshan went to the utility room, took out several wooden sticks of different lengths, and skillfully installed the hoe blades one by one.

Ling Yi was not in a hurry to flip through the "Basic Meditation Method" in his arms. Anyway, when he first got it, he had already memorized it when he flipped through it seemingly casually.

Accompanied by Ah Huang and Miao Miao, Ling Yi began to inspect Shanhai Village.

Compared to six years ago when Ling Yi was born, Shanhai Village has changed a lot today.

In addition to the "blue silver grass" that can be seen everywhere and is more than a hundred times more than in previous years, the courtyards of every household in the village have been expanded.

In addition, the farmland west of the village has expanded several times, and a number of neat and uniform fields have appeared on the east and south sides.

Under the leadership of the Ling and Zhang families, through methods such as exchange and transaction, the fields of each household in the village were redivided into different areas, and through unified labor, a lot of wasteland was reclaimed for each family and turned into fertile fields.

With a dozen or twenty people wielding hoes, harrows and plows together, an acre of land can be cultivated in a very short time.

Today they are reclaiming land for the Wang family in the east of the village, tomorrow they are sowing seeds for the Ling family in the south of the village, and the day after tomorrow they are harvesting for the Li family in the east of the village. The villagers of Shanhai Village suddenly realized that this kind of collaborative work not only increased the area of ​​their own fields, but also significantly improved the efficiency of farming and harvesting.

What this means in practice is that during the autumn harvest, the family’s granary is filled with grains.

Not only that, under the leadership of Zhang Dahe, a number of ponds of various sizes appeared on both sides of the "辶"-shaped bay drawn by the Changlin River in the southeast of the village.

Nowadays, smoked salted fish of a certain color are hung under the eaves of every household in Shanhai Village.

Meat, which we once only had access to a few times a year, is no longer out of reach.

If this is the case for other families, then Ling Yi's family and Zhang's family will naturally not be worse than them, they can only be better.

"Xiao Yi, come to my house for dinner later—"

"No, Aunt Qing, I'll have lunch at my uncle's house--"

"Xiao Yi, come to your uncle's house for dinner—"

"No, Uncle Wu, I have to go to my eldest uncle's house at noon—"

……

He walked and looked around, and greeted the uncles and aunts in the village along the way. Ling Yi made full use of his advantages of good looks and sweet words, and was very popular wherever he went.

Amid the sharp cries of cicadas hiding in the treetops above his head, Ling Yi wandered to the east end of the village and came to the resting place he had often visited in the past two years.

There is a large bluestone next to the Zhang family’s lotus pond.

Ling Yi lay on his back with his eyes closed, basking in the somewhat scorching golden sunlight, and his mind calmed down.

On the black soil nearby, Miaomiao and Ah Huang were lying on the left and right, with their heads resting on their front paws, slightly moving closer to the large bluestone under Ling Yi.

In his mind and sea of ​​consciousness, Ling Yi's mental power began to surge, and he gave a detailed summary of the situation of himself, the Ling family, the Zhang family, and even the Shanhai Village.

For six years, except for the first year, every year, every month, and even every day, Ling Yi would sort out everything around him and understand it clearly.

凌易

Age: 6 years, 2 months and 21 days

Martial Spirit: Blue Silver Grass

Qualification: Innate Soul Power Half Level

Family background: Farmer

The above is Ling Yi’s current data label, which is simple, straightforward, and can even be said to be crude whiteboard data.

Anyone who sees this will have the first reaction of shaking their head. Given these conditions, there will be no future in this life.
