Chapter 97: Linzi City Bu Family

"Master Hua, to be honest! I have never planted spiritual rice alone. Whether spiritual rice can be successfully planted or not will be known only after trying. I am now 41 years old and have been a student of the Farmer Family for 16 years. I have not found a way to be promoted to a master of the Farmer Family for so many years.

If Master Hua gives me this [Spirit Gathering Array], I will be able to cultivate spiritual fields for the Hua Family. It is the lifelong wish of every student of the Farmer Family to have a spiritual field of my own.

If the Hua Family is willing to let me take care of the spiritual fields, I am willing to stay in Huajiabao for the rest of my life." Xu Hua said with a red face.

"For a piece of spiritual field, I will stay in Huajiabao for the rest of my life. That's not the point! In this way, I can give you the array, and I will give you the responsibility for all the fields of the Hua Family. I still have enough [Spiritual Liquid] here, which should be enough to support you to transform all the fields into spiritual fields.

In addition, the annual salary is 100 gold, and you cannot leave Huajiabao at will within three months. What do you think?" Hua Kai thought for a while and asked.

Hua Kai also saw that Xu Hua was not ambitious. He had no fighting power, and Hua Kai was not afraid that he would secretly take away the [Spirit Gathering Array].

"Thank you for the trust of the family head... I want to build my house in the field. I wonder if it is possible. I just need a small wooden house to live in." Xu Hua asked with expectation. He was going to devote himself to the great cause of farming.

"Just tell my uncle what you need. You can also recruit a few helpers from all the young people in Huajiabao who you think are talented. You can choose two acres of land in the spiritual field area. You can decide what to plant. Just come to me to get the [Spirit Liquid] you need."

What the Hua family lacks now is the foundation. If the Hua family can grow spiritual rice, then the noble families will have to curry favor with them. At that time, it is inevitable that they will become noble families. Even if the Han family stops it, it will be useless.

Hua Kai was not afraid of anyone coming to make trouble when planting spiritual rice, because everyone would benefit from the successful planting of spiritual rice. What he was afraid of was that the aura of the spiritual field would attract powerful wild beasts and savage beasts. Even if these spiritual objects were not mature, wild beasts and savage beasts would like them very much.

Seeing Xu Hua happily put the [Spirit Gathering Array] into his arms, he went back to his room to study.

Hua Kai went outside the village and saw several core members of the family directing the villagers to build houses and strengthen the city walls. The number of people involved in the construction army exceeded a thousand, and many people from the affiliated small villages also joined in, because they had to live in the city walls after the city walls were strengthened this winter. Strengthening the city walls and enhancing the defense of the village is the responsibility of the Hua family and all the surrounding small and medium-sized villages.

Came to the stable to upgrade a strong horse. Hua Kai has upgraded 11 horses in the past few days. The number of Hua family BMWs has increased to 21. There are more than 150 strong horses left to be upgraded. Hua Kai's mental strength is much stronger than last year. He will not be exhausted if he upgrades 3 strong horses at a time. He can upgrade more than 15 strong horses every day.

After waking up from the dream of [Big Dream Visualization Method] in the afternoon, Hua Kai left the main house and saw his second uncle Hua Ziqi waiting in the living room.

"Second uncle, are all the grain shops, teahouses, weapons shops, and livestock markets in Guang County all okay?" Hua Kai asked.

"We have taken over the grain shops, and the teahouses have also contacted the tea merchants in the South today. They are willing to continue to cooperate with us. As for the weapons shops, your third uncle has sent half of the stock of the weapons shops in the village to the city today, and the weapons shops are also open today. We don't charge commercial taxes for goods below one or two silver coins in the livestock market, and there are a lot of people in the market today." Hua Ziqi replied.

"Second uncle needs to worry more about the city. The Hua family is getting stronger and stronger now, and there will be more and more industries in the city. But second uncle, don't fall behind in your cultivation. Take this [Peking Yuan Pill], and your cultivation will definitely break through the Qidong realm this year." Hua Kai took out a [Peking Yuan Pill] and said to his second uncle Hua Ziqi.

The second uncle was originally only of D-level aptitude. This time, he took the intermediate [aptitude pill] and was promoted to C- with the third uncle. As long as there are enough resources, there will be no problem in advancing to the Qidong realm.

"I broke through to the 4th level of Kaiyuan realm yesterday. I am afraid I have no chance to enter the Qidong realm!" Hua Ziqi said uncertainly.

"After taking the pill, you should practice the new martial arts and mental methods I gave you. The level of your martial arts and mental methods is too low!" Hua Kai looked at the second uncle and said speechlessly.

A man who is almost forty years old and has a lower cultivation level than himself can be said to be insufficient aptitude, but your mental methods and martial arts are all minor achievements. After learning new mental methods and martial arts, you have been reduced to entry-level. This is too careless.

Hua Ziqi nodded awkwardly. He knew that he couldn't even beat the 13-year-old nephew in front of him.

"By the way, Kai'er! I checked the Bu family in Linzi City that you asked me to check. As a seventh-rank family in Linzi City, the Bu family has always been following the Tian family. Half of the cloth and salt businesses in Linzi City are controlled by the Bu family. Every year, they follow the Tian family to the Zhalut tribe in the Xiongnu Kingdom. It is said that the biggest bandits in Hutuo Mountain are from the Bu family. After failing to compete with the current Bu family for the family position, they went to Hutuo Mountain to become bandits, but some people say that this is the intention of the Tian family." Hua Ziqi said.

This explains everything. The last time the man who met the Tian family caravan to negotiate was probably the leader of the Evil Wolf Village. The Bu family is behind the Evil Wolf Village. The Hua family wiped out the Evil Wolf Village this time. It would be strange if the Bu family didn't hate them.

However, the Bu family could not openly target the Hua family in this matter, and could only find an opportunity to retaliate behind the scenes. One point in favor of the Hua family is that the Bu family does not know that the Hua family has already known their hostility.

"Pay close attention to the major movements of the Bu family, and report directly to me if there is any news. Don't tell anyone else about the Bu family except me." Hua Kai said to Hua Ziqi.

The next day, Hua Kai upgraded the three strong horses and came to the farmland area in the village.

There are only 200 acres of land in Huajiabao. Yesterday, 1,000 stones of wheat were harvested, which is enough for the family to eat for at least half a year. This morning, villagers began to plow the fields. Xu Hua directed the farmers in the fields to divide all the fields into pieces, each about one acre, so that it would be easier to cultivate the land into spiritual fields.

Seeing Hua Kai coming, Xu Hua walked over from the field. He was barefoot and covered with dirt, and looked no different from an ordinary farmer.

"Master!" Xu Hua performed the etiquette of a family servant. The students of the Hundred Schools will never lack etiquette.

"How is it?" Hua Kai said as he looked at the villagers working in the fields in the distance.

"I have mastered the [Spirit Gathering Array]. Now I plan to mark out 30 mu of land in the middle of the field, so that the spiritual rice seedlings can emerge before winter comes. There should be a harvest at this time next year." Xu Hua said.

"What do you think about asking you to take in apprentices? You alone will not be able to handle more spiritual fields in the future."

If the Hua family wants to use spiritual rice cultivation as one of the main sources of income for the family's development in the future, they must cultivate more talents who can cultivate spiritual rice.

"I have seen that many children brought back from the grassland this year have good qualifications. I plan to select ten of them tomorrow and teach them some farming knowledge." Xu Hua knew that Hua Kai valued spiritual rice.

"Ten is not enough, what if there are some who can't learn! Select 30! You can select anyone from the Hua family except me. Tell me if you don't study hard." Hua Kai said to Xu Hua.

Farmers in this world are a noble profession, because farmland is in the city or in a large village, all farmland is extremely valuable, and families that can grow food are not small families.

Hua Kai stood in the field and watched dozens of villagers in the distance quickly turn the fields with oxen. More than ten oxen turned over 200 acres of land in more than an hour. Everyone began to transform the fields according to Xu Hua's drawings.

This field transformation is not that simple. It requires some special materials to mix with the soil. Fortunately, these things are easy to find and not expensive.

In the afternoon, a spiritual field of about one acre was finally about to be completed. Hua Kai saw that too many things were added to the soil of the spiritual field and it had turned black. This soil can better absorb spiritual energy and provide enough nutrients for spiritual rice.

"Master, I want to try the effect of this [Gathering Spirit Array]!" Xu Hua saw that a piece of field had been transformed almost, and he was eager to try the effect of the [Gathering Spirit Array].

"You try it!" Hua Kai nodded and agreed.

Xu Hua took out the crystal glass from the [Gathering Spirit Array], placed it in the middle of the field, and then placed the eight array flags in position. His mental power drove the eight array flags into a light and shadow flying into the air, just like putting a hat on the field.

When the eight true qi gathered in the air, the light and shadow disappeared, and the water spirit beads on the ground also disappeared. Everything was as if nothing had happened. Hua Kai felt that the spiritual energy in the air was slowly gathering towards the spiritual field.

"How is it? Can this array be put away after it is put down?" Hua Kai asked Xu Hua when he saw that all the components of the array were gone.

"It can be put away, but the spiritual energy gathered in the array will return to nature. The master of the family should come with me to feel it." Xu Hua felt that the [Gathering Spirit Array] seemed to have completely merged with his mental power. He could clearly feel everything in the array, and he could clearly sense whether the spiritual energy of each piece of land in the spiritual field was sufficient.

This [Spirit Gathering Array] is too powerful. Xu Hua discovered the power of the array for the first time. The surrounding spiritual energy was absorbed infinitely. After entering the spiritual field, the whole person seemed to become refreshed.

"This spiritual array is indeed good, but absorbing spiritual energy outside the array is not good for the entire Huajiabao. How long will it take to stop absorbing it?" Hua Kai walked into the spiritual array and felt it.

"This... I don't know how much spiritual energy the spiritual array can gather at most. Judging from the speed, it will take at least ten days and a half months! Using [Spirit Liquid] can speed up the transformation of the spiritual field. If [Spirit Liquid] is sprinkled in now, it will probably have less impact on the village." Xu Hua thought for a while and said.

Hua Kai went home and took out the [Baoguang Liuli Bottle], found a large bucket and poured out hundreds of kilograms of [Spirit Liquid]. Xu Hua diluted it with ten times the amount of clean water and asked someone to sprinkle it on all the land in the spiritual array, but the speed of the spiritual array absorbing spiritual energy still did not decrease.
