Chapter 39 Five Years of Development
Little Grey nodded, indicating that Su Qingyan understood without any problem.
"Our Su family is about to gain another powerful fighter!"
With double happiness upon him, Su Qingyan was overjoyed. After thinking for a while, he made arrangements for the little snake spirit beast's future care: "Little Grey, this little snake spirit beast needs to be kept a close eye on."
"Our Xian'er is over a year old now. She can run and jump, and she's still a bit naive. I'll have Mei Zhiyu bring her here to play more often. If she can develop a deep bond with this little snake spirit beast, that would be wonderful."
"Xian'er has spiritual roots, there is no doubt about that."
"Once he turns six and is able to cultivate, we will contract this little snake demon beast as his spirit beast, so that our Su family can continue its development and steadily grow into a powerful cultivation family."
"By then, Little Grey, you will also be the ancestor of the Su family's spirit beasts."
"However, in the next few years, Xian'er is too young, and I'm afraid this little snake spirit beast might hurt him, so I'd like to ask Little Grey to teach this little snake spirit beast a lesson."
It was called education, but it was actually about helping Su Yuanxian gradually tame this little snake spirit beast.
If we can also build a deep bond, that would be even better.
Su Qingyan knew that his eldest son, Su Yuanxian, was not like his second daughter, who possessed a purple-quality talent and three spiritual roots. He only had four spiritual roots, and it was hard to say how far he could go on the path of cultivation. By pairing him with this little snake demon beast as an assistant, he would have a greater advantage when fighting with others in the future.
It's easier to prepare early while you're still young.
Although Little Grey didn't understand the underlying meaning of the words "education, education," it was assured by Su Qingyan's instructions that it would keep an eye on the little snake spirit beast and prevent it from harming Su Yuanxian.
If the little snake spirit beast shows any intention or action to harm Su Yuanxian, the cunning Little Grey will definitely give it a good beating, indirectly helping Su Yuanxian to gradually subdue the little snake spirit beast.
Based on Su Qingyan's understanding of Little Grey, he naturally anticipated this.
Time passed day by day.
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
For five years, Su Qingyan and his family stayed in their new house without leaving the village, focusing on their cultivation. Nothing unexpected happened, and everything in the family was developing in a positive direction.
The family's heritage gradually deepened.
The only regret is that, despite Su Qingyan and his wife's best efforts, Zhang Hui's belly just won't swell. Without the help of the "ancestral blessing" ability, it's really too difficult to conceive naturally.
This family is truly lacking in good fortune!
Of course, there is also a lot of good news.
Little Grey is a restless creature, and feeding the juvenile Black Water Catfish and the little snake spirit beast requires a lot of meat. Going out to buy it would be very troublesome to transport and would also easily attract attention.
So whenever Little Grey has free time, he goes to the edge of the Biyue Mountains to hunt or to the surrounding waters to catch fish. While feeding the young Xuan Shui catfish and the little snake spirit beasts, he also indirectly accumulates a lot of gold and silver for the family that mortals need.
As a result, the Su family's mortal businesses also expanded significantly.
The family's fertile land increased to 1000 mu, and the woodland expanded from the north to the south to 500 mu.
Under Su Qingyan's leadership and the care of Mei Dong and his sister, the red ginseng planting industry and the red blood ginseng cultivation industry in the forest have formed a virtuous cycle. The newly planted red ginseng no longer uses spirit stone powder as a base, but is irrigated entirely with spirit spring water, which has a lower cost. After all, once a virtuous cycle is formed, there is no need to pursue the speed at which the red ginseng accumulates medicinal properties.
With such a large quantity, it's acceptable for the newly planted red ginseng to grow more slowly.
Anyway, there's no rush to use it, I can wait a few years.
As for the Crimson Blood Yang Ginseng, the 500 mu of forest land can stably produce 2 plants per quarter, and when luck is on your side, it can even produce 5 complete Crimson Blood Yang Ginseng plants at once.
Of course, this situation is extremely rare.
Over the course of five years, Su Qingyan had only encountered this situation twice.
The only problem is that when the Crimson Blood Ginseng matures, it occasionally attracts one or two wandering monsters from the vicinity of the Biyue Mountains to compete for the opportunity.
Fortunately, the attracted monsters were all low-grade first-tier monsters. After Little Grey discovered them, it called on Su Qingyan and his wife, and the two of them and the monster easily drove away the intruders.
In fact, Su Qingyan really wanted to kill these demonic beasts and use their flesh and blood to increase his cultivation speed. Unfortunately, without the prediction function of [Seeking Opportunities], Su Qingyan could not make preparations in advance. These invading demonic beasts were also very cunning. When they saw that the enemy was strong, they would run away as soon as the situation was not right.
They were incredibly fast; they disappeared into the forests surrounding the Biyue Mountains in no time, making it impossible to find a chance to kill them.
Apart from the Mud Armored Wild Boar King, Su Qingyan has not yet killed a second monster that invaded their forest.
Overall, the amount of Crimson Blood Ginseng produced in the forest is definitely not enough, but unfortunately, Little Grey can only bleed so much each day, so the yield cannot be increased.
Other high-aged red ginseng are cultivated using the blood of wild animals and domestic pigs, which naturally increases the success rate and prolongs the transformation process of the red ginseng.
Besides the red ginseng industry, Su Qingyan's alchemy skills have also made considerable progress.
Now, Su Qingyan can guarantee a 10% success rate for each batch of Crimson Sun Pills he refines, and most of the time he can achieve 20%.
Although they are all first-grade low-level Crimson Sun Pills, the overall cost of each batch of Crimson Sun Pills can be recovered, and there is no need to risk trading in the market.
Even if Su Qingyan now claims to be a first-grade low-level alchemist, given his high success rate in refining the Crimson Sun Pill, no one will question him.
With an ample supply of Crimson Sun Pills, Zhang Hui's cultivation level broke through to the third level of Qi Refining last month, while Su Qingyan was slightly behind and needed to accumulate more experience before breaking through to the third level of Qi Refining.
Compared to Su Qingyan, Zhang Hui didn't have to worry about many things and could focus entirely on cultivation.
She was also very hardworking, sitting in the cultivation room for several days in a row, eating, drinking and relieving herself in the cultivation room, without any other messy thoughts.
Su Qingyan is different. He has so many businesses at home that he needs to manage, and he also needs to refine the Crimson Sun Pills used for cultivation. His cultivation time has been delayed a lot, and his cultivation progress has naturally been delayed as well. It is normal that he breaks through more slowly than his wife Zhang Hui.
Su Qingyan had no objection to this.
On the contrary, he even enjoyed it a bit, relishing the feeling of accumulating wealth and becoming rich little by little, which gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
He currently has over fifty low-grade first-tier Crimson Sun Pills stored in his storage bag.
The couple mainly cultivate and use the Crimson Sun Pill at home, occasionally giving Little Grey a pill. After the couple uses the Crimson Sun Pill to improve their cultivation, they need to spend 6 months to eliminate the pill toxins from their bodies. The Crimson Sun Pill is effective for humans, but its effect on Little Grey is relatively weak, almost imperceptible. Little Grey himself is not very willing to eat this stuff; he prefers to consume the raw material of the Crimson Sun Pill, the Crimson Blood Yang Ginseng.
When the Crimson Blood Yang Ginseng was produced in large quantities, Su Qingyan would occasionally reward Little Grey with one.
At the current rate of consumption, the output ratio is far from meeting the consumption, so Su Qingyan's storage bag contains more and more Crimson Sun Pills, which are plentiful.
Whenever Su Qingyan thought of this, he couldn't stop smiling to himself.
He revealed the appearance of a wealthy landlord.
