Chapter 964 – Immortal Crystals are hard to earn
Chapter 964 – Immortal crystals are hard to earn
The road down the mountain is quite smooth, only the cold fog is a little thicker, but fortunately, Gong Lao is very familiar with the mountain road, and did not line difference step wrong half a step.
Of course, the main reason is that they are on the way back, did not meet the road blocking the immortal beasts, otherwise, down the mountain may not be so easy.
Seeing her family’s stone house from afar, Xu Chuniang walked towards it after parting ways with Gong Lao.
Little White heard the commotion and pushed the door out, the tension on his face turning into delight.
“Sister, you’re finally back.”
Xu Chuniang pretended to be relaxed, “It’s just chopping down trees, it’s not as hard as you think, I chopped down a total of three Accumulated Snow Pines and sold them to Elder Gong, earning a full thirty Immortal Crystals!”
Xiao Bai muttered in dissatisfaction, “The Snow Pine is not an ordinary tree, it grows in a very high place, and if it’s really as easy as you say, why don’t you let me go?”
Xu Chuniang laughed and shook her head, “With both of us gone, who will guard the stone house? There isn’t even a formation here, and even though this piece of land belongs to us, it’s always unsettling to have no one guarding it.”
Xiao Bai was persuaded, what Ah Sister said was not unreasonable, the stone house had already been built, although the house was still empty and had nothing in it now, but in the future there would always be a constant addition of various objects.
Moreover, he also planned, to cultivate immortal grasses and breed immortal beasts in the open space next to the house.
If others took advantage of their absence to pull up the immortal grass and steal the immortal beasts, it would be a big loss.
Xiao Bai patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, Ah Sister, as long as I’m around, our family’s things won’t be lost, I’ll keep a good watch at home!”
Seeing that Xiao Bai was successfully bluffed by himself, Xu Chuniang nodded her head fervently.
“This time I went up to the mountains and earned thirty Immortal Crystals, I originally thought that the Accumulated Snow Pine would not worry about selling, so I came back to rest for a few days and then went up to the mountains again.
But Elder Gong said that every month, only in the middle and end of the month, when the cold fog in the mountains dissipates, is suitable for going up to the mountains to cut down the Accumulated Snow Pines, and the rest of the time going up to the mountains is too risky.”
Xiao Bai nodded in understanding, “Is it because those cold mists will isolate divine sense and vision?”
“This is only one of the reasons, the more important reason is that the dense cold fog will attract fog beasts that feed on the cold fog, the fog beasts in able to come and go freely in the cold fog without being affected by it.
If you are unfortunate enough to encounter a fog beast in the cold fog, you will be very passive.”
Xiao Bai suddenly realized, “I see, I remembered, yesterday I was at home with nothing to do, I looked through the pamphlet that Gong Lao had given us earlier, and there was a mention of fog beasts in it.
They can be ferocious, very bad to mess with, that apart from the days other than the middle and end of the month, Sister, you mustn’t sneak up the mountain.”
“Don’t worry, I know what’s in my heart, even Elder Gong, who is an Earth Immortal, is wary of the fog beasts, so naturally I won’t take it lightly.”
Xiao Bai then let go of his heart’s worry, then happy again, after looking through the pamphlet given by Elder Gong, he had a rough understanding of the prices of goods in Zhangwei Mountain.
“Thirty Immortal Crystals is not much, but it can do a lot, the cheapest lower grade Immortal Beast Golden Feathered Pheasant, one is only twenty Immortal Crystals, we can buy a Golden Feathered Pheasant back to raise it, and when it grows up it will be able to lay eggs.”
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai’s eyes showed anticipation, “The Golden Feathered Pheasant’s eggs can be sold for money, one can be sold for five Immortal Crystals, a Golden Feathered Pheasant can lay two eggs in a month, a year would be twenty-four, which is a full one hundred and twenty Immortal Crystals!”
Xu Chuniang also knew about the Golden Feathered Pheasant, it was a very small, not very aggressive Immortal Beast known for its delicious meat, and was kept by the Immortals in the Immortal Realm to be used as food.
Although Immortals didn’t have to continue eating after becoming Immortals, the Golden Feathered Pheasant not only tasted delicious, but its meat also contained a lot of essence, and many Immortals were good at it.
Those who couldn’t afford to spend Immortal Crystals to eat Golden Feathered Pheasant would also bite the bullet and buy a few eggs to taste the flavor.
So it seems, raising golden feather pheasant is really a good deal, not only golden feather pheasant can be sold, it laid eggs can also be sold.
Xu Chuniang pondered for a moment, but denied Xiao Bai’s proposal. “Although the Golden Feathered Pheasant is one of the best immortal beasts to raise in the Immortal Realm, we are inexperienced, and if we buy it hastily, it will be easy to raise it to death.
Moreover, twenty Immortal Crystals can only buy a juvenile Golden Feathered Pheasant, it needs to be raised for a full ten years before it enters its growth period and starts laying eggs, the waiting time in between is too long.”
Xiao Bai also reacted, he only saw the benefits of raising the Golden Feathered Pheasant to adulthood, but ignored the risks involved.
Raising Golden Feathered Pheasants was a good idea, but unfortunately, the cycle was too long and would not be able to bring them benefits in a short period of time.
Sister had only earned a total of thirty Immortal Crystals, and to pay off the debt the two owed as soon as possible, they would have to think of other ways.
“Ah Sister has a point, raising Golden Feathered Pheasants is not a viable path, we can only wait until we have more Immortal Crystals on hand in the future, why don’t we grow Immortal Grass?”
Xu Chuniang thought briefly and nodded.
“Growing Immortal Grass is more feasible than raising Golden Feathered Pheasants, the growth cycle of Immortal Grass has long and short periods of time, but the shortest, it takes three years to mature.”
“It takes three years to mature ah, no wonder the work of mining the Green Orange Stone is laborious and unprofitable, and there are still so many people rushing to do it.”
At this moment, Xiao Bai finally realized how difficult it was to earn some immortal crystals in Zhangwei Mountain.
Whether it was raising Golden Feathered Pheasants or planting Immortal Grasses, it wasn’t something that could be achieved overnight, not only did he have to invest in Immortal Crystals, but he also had to face the risk of failure.
As for going up the mountain to hunt immortal beasts, there was even less to mention, most of the immortal beasts were very vigilant, and would not give anyone a chance to get close to them at all.
“Don’t worry, can’t I still go up to the mountains to cut down snow pines to earn immortal crystals?”
Xu Chuniang patted Xiao Bai’s shoulder, “I earned thirty Immortal Crystals the first time I went up to the mountains, and I’ll only earn more and more in the future, so I’ll definitely be able to pay off the external debt I owe within a year.”
“I know, it’s just that I also want to contribute, can’t arrive in the Immortal Realm and still rely on A Sister for everything ……”
Xiao Bai said lustfully, “How about from tomorrow, I go and mine Qinggang stones for immortal crystals?”
One thousand juns of processed greenoka stone, packaged and delivered to the door, was only sold for one Immortal Crystal.
The freshly mined greenoka stone is even less valuable, three thousand juns of greenoka stone, the purchase price is only one Immortal Crystal, others may not be willing to accept.
After all, the grade of the stone is not high, chapter tail mountain and not lack of this thing, not worth money is normal.
“No.”
Xu Chuniang flatly rejected Xiao Bai’s proposal and said without question.
“Those laws you comprehended in the Lower Realm are incomplete, and without fur coats to protect you from the cold, you simply cannot stay outside the stone house for more than an hour, or else you’ll get frostbite.
If you really want to help me, you should honestly stay at home and take care of the Immortal Herbs, if you get frostbite, I’ll have to tend to you in turn.”
Xiao Bai opened his mouth, not knowing how to retort, he could only nod, “Alright, I’ll listen to Sister.”
Xu Chuniang nodded with satisfaction, “I don’t have much immortal qi left in my body, so after I rest for a few days and recover some immortal qi, I’ll go down the mountain to look for someone to buy immortal grass seeds.”
