Chapter 4.

“I just heard Old He say that he found Spirit Locusts in Xu Zhong’s Spirit Field.

This Spirit Locust is not ordinary, it’s extremely harmful to the spirit fields, it’s most likely to nibble on the spirit rice, once it appears, it tends to swarm in groups, and it can fly and has a strong jumping ability, if it appears in one spirit field, it’s expected that it will soon spread to other spirit fields.

You will carefully check it out later, don’t let the Spirit Harvest suffer.

Especially in the recent period, when the spiritual seedlings are beginning to blossom and hang up their spiritual rice, countless spiritual insects will be attracted to them.

One bad move will affect the harvest.”

Old Xu hurriedly spoke.

tan san nodded his head in a hurry.

He knew that once the spirit rice reached maturity, there would be countless spirit worms running to nibble on it, and if he didn’t take care of it, there was a possibility that the months of hard work would be ruined.

As for that Xu Zhong, he also recognized, is with him in the Spirit Plant Hall apprenticeship cultivator, but the other party a few years older than him, also earlier than him from the Spirit Plant Hall out, now counting the rent planting spirit field also has three years.

Just different from other spiritual farmers’ diligence, the other party fishes for three days and sun screens for two days, often not appearing for several days in a row, the weeds within the spiritual fields are all over the place, there are quite a lot of insect pests, and there will be spiritual locusts appearing, which is actually very normal.

Only, the other party’s rented spiritual field was not far away from his spiritual field, with only a small river channel in between, so it really needed some precautions.

Afterwards, tan san went back down to the spiritual field and began to carefully look on the spiritual grasses.

On each of the spiritual harvests, small white flowers had already bloomed, and some of the fast-growing ones even had spiritual rice hanging from them, although they were still very dry and needed ten days and half a month of growth before they would fill up, the joy of the upcoming harvest still made him excited for a while.

Eyes scanned the Spirit Harvest, looking over one plant at a time.

Suddenly, tan san’s eyes stared.

A spirit bug the size of an infant’s fist, clad in a green-colored armor appeared right in front of his gaze.

“Green Beetle Insect!”

tan san whispered.

The Green Beetle was not as harmful as the Spirit Locust, but it would also nibble on the branches and leaves of the Spirit Harvest, affecting the growth of the Spirit Harvest, so of course it had to be eradicated as well.

Hastily holding his breath, he silently utilized his spiritual energy and quickly sketched out a complex rune.

This process was extremely slow, and the mind, which had just recovered a little, was even more rapidly consumed.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths ……

After a full seven breaths, the spell finally took shape.

Gengjin Finger!

Then he reached out and pointed forward.

“Go~!”

A golden light flashed.

Puff!

The head of that one green-colored beetle was instantly pierced through, and then it landed stiffly on the ground.

“Worthy of being an attack type spell, the power of this Gungjin Finger is truly amazing.”

tan san’s face revealed a look of surprise.

It should be known that this Green Beetle as a spirit insect, the armor is very hard, ordinary swords and knives cut on it, almost can not break the slightest bit, but the Geng Jin finger can easily penetrate it, can be imagined its power.

It was for this reason that tan san really felt the difference between himself nowadays.

Cleansing art and small spirit rain art although magical, but after all, only auxiliary type of spells, but the geng gold finger is truly with killing spells, far better than the martial arts sword.

“Indeed, killing, power, strength, is the romance of men!”

tan san sighed with emotion and rushed forward to pick up the green beetle.

This Green Beetle is a spirit insect, the shell ground into powder can be used as medicine, the flesh and blood inside even contains spiritual qi, which can accelerate cultivation, don’t look at just the size of an infant’s fist, the spiritual qi contained is already no less than half a catty of spiritual rice, he naturally does not want to throw it away.

Then, tan san continued to check.

“Sure enough, the hanging fruit period is approaching, and there are clearly more spirit insects within the spirit field.”

tan san quickly discovered a second Green Beetle.

As he did, he did the same thing. The second Green Beetle was also beheaded by him.

Then came the third one.

tan san’s execution of the Gungjin Finger was not a hundred times successful, and he lost his aim when beheading the third one, only grazing the other party and making up a strike before beheading it.

The good thing is that the proficiency is not reduced.

Gengjin Finger Proficiency +2

In this way, three acres of spiritual fields to explore once, tan san killed a total of four spirit insects, all green beetles, there is also a digging cicada just found, the other party has already alerted, quickly drilled into the ground and disappeared, so he had no choice but to give up.

Gengjin Finger (Introductory 13+5/100).

Looking at the panel, tan san then came back up from the spiritual field.

At this time, the spiritual energy in his body was also empty once again.

However, exhausted, he couldn’t even meditate to recover, so he had to endure it.

“Well?”

At this time, Old Xu walked over with a smile.

“Four Green Beetles.

Luckily, no Spirit Locusts were found.”

tan san returned.

“Four Green Beetles are comparable to two pounds of Spirit Rice, it’s a small harvest.

As for the Spirit Locusts, it’s best if there aren’t any, once it breaks out it’s not something we can cope with, when the time comes it’s unavoidable to invite the people from the Spirit Plant Hall to come over, inviting them once for three lower-grade Spirit Stones, it can be very expensive.”

Saying that, Old Xu’s face also revealed the color of meat pain, obviously in the past there was no less of this kind of experience.

After all, the spiritual farmers take care of the spiritual fields, even if they are more attentive, during the fruiting period, there will inevitably be spiritual insects flying to nibble, the better the care, the more spiritual insects will be attracted, the more insects will become a plague, by virtue of their spiritual energy, it will definitely not be enough to remove all of them, so naturally, they will have to invite the people from the Spiritual Plantation Hall to come over.

tan san nodded.

In his heart, he wondered if he could avoid this crisis with the help of the Proficiency Panel.

After all, he was truly poor.

He had carefully searched his room before, and apart from some gold and silver that he could purchase some living tools, there was not a single Spirit Stone.

When it comes to that time, if he can’t get the spirit stones, he can only watch the spiritual fields suffer.

The Spirit Planting Hall is not a charity hall, and it only cares about its own income, whether it is affected or not, it is all up to the spiritual farmers themselves to bear the burden.

If you can’t afford it, you’ll be reduced to a contract farmer, and you’ll never be free again.

“The Gengjin Finger, as a sharp weapon for killing spirit insects, is something that must be brought up in grade as soon as possible.

However, my biggest drawback is actually my lack of cultivation and spirit power.

This spell casting requires spiritual energy, even if there is enough spiritual energy, I can only cast ten or so Geng Jin Fingers, and if I meditate to recover, I can only recover half of it, so that’s fifteen …… This will take at least seven or eight days to be able to level up the Geng Jin Finger spells.

Not to mention, the usual need to perform the Spiritual Rain Technique, and some Spiritual Harvests grow slowly, and also need to perform the Catalyzing Technique ……”

tan san thought about all of this and had a headache.

“Perhaps I can try just casting spells without energizing? Or control the amount of spiritual energy input, tapering off the consumption of each spell?”

This was not a bad method, but whether it would work or not was something that had to be tried.

“By the way, has your father returned yet? Speaking of which, it’s been half a month since he entered the mountain this time.”

Old Xu said, and with a twist of words, asked again.

“This time, it has indeed been a bit long since he entered the mountain.”

At those words, tan san’s face also revealed a hint of worry.
