Du Heng got a bucket of beetles. Jiang Shangzhou said that this thing was called a black cicada, and that all dead ones could sell fifty spirit stones. He clicked and found that there were 138 bamboo tubes in his bamboo tube, which could be sold...

Xiaoxiao, behind him, told Du Heng the answer that he could sell 6,900 spirit stones. These spirit stones may not be able to afford a particularly good spirit gathering array, but it is better than nothing. Maybe the people in the sect will sell them to him if they see that they are poor.

Moreover, there are black cicadas in his yard, which are staring at home every year. As long as black cicadas crawl out of the soil, they will catch them and put them in the bamboo tube. These are all living spirit stones!

Du Heng planned to go to the Spiritual Medicine Hall first and then to the Beast Control Garden. If there is enough time, he will go to the refining room. However, when he looked down at the map Jiang Shangzhou gave him, he felt that he was thinking too much.

There are five main peaks in Shenxu Palace. The main peak where the head of the sect is named Shenhua Peak, which is located in the south. It takes two incense sticks to drive the sword.

The other four peaks are half-moon-shaped, surrounded by the main peak from the north, from east to west, namely Shenlai Peak, Shenxiu Peak, Shenzuo Peak and Shenbone Peak. Among them, there is a Lingyao Hall on Shenlai Peak, a Beast Control Garden on Shenzao Peak, and a weapon refining room on Shenbone Peak.

Just looking at these names, Du Heng felt that the names of the main peaks of Shenxu Palace could not be simpler? This is too difficult to remember!

If he takes Shenxiu Peak where Du Heng is located as the center, he will send all the other three main peaks in the north. It is impossible, at least this morning is impossible.

Du Heng could only pick up the key points. He had to go to the Spirit Medicine Hall to change the spirit stones first, and then go to the Beast Control Garden to try his luck to see if he could grab some food from the Spiritual Beast.

When passing by Ershen Hall, Du Heng happened to see Chef Zhu standing at the door. Chef Zhu greeted Du Heng: "Little Du, come here." Du Heng hurried over, just because Chef Zhu was delivering him food these days, he wanted to be more polite to Chef Zhu.

Du Heng respectfully bowed to Chef Zhu: "Chef Zhu, are you asking me for something?"

Chef Zhu patted Du Heng's shoulder earnestly: "Xiao Cai is back and telling me everything. Old Zhu, I have been in Shenxiufeng for more than ten years. You are a young man, so I'll ask you to say a few words." Du Heng nodded: "Yeah, you said."

Chu Zhu said, "Wang Jian's old guy is not a good bird, so he wants to stuff his incompetent nephew into Yichen Hall. You are a man with the green eyes of Gu Zhenren, so you must not be squeezed away by him. Lao Zhu, I will give you 50 heads of dishes every day, and there will be no more dishes. You can cook well, don't waste it. I heard from people in the mountains that the dishes you cook are delicious and they all love to eat."

Du Heng was very grateful: "Thank you Uncle Zhu." Du Heng did a very casual job of climbing up the pole.

Chef Zhu looked at Du Heng with relief: "Don't be afraid, the Wang surnamed Wang doesn't dare to come openly but dares to secretly use a tie for you. After you endure this period of time, he will calm down when he can't move."

Du Heng quickly bowed: "Thank you for Uncle Zhu's advice, Du Heng has recorded it." Xiaoxiao also whispered twice at Chef Zhu with gratitude: "Jiujiu~" He has a good impression of Chef Zhu, and people who are good to Du Heng are all good people!

Chef Zhu reached out to Xiaoxiao's head and rubbed it twice: "Hey, this chicken baby looks good. I heard from Xiao Cai that this is your spiritual pet. You should be careful, don't be harmed by those people."

Du Heng nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhu, I will take good care of them."

Chef Zhu looked at Du Heng: "Where are you going? The peddler cannot leave his post without authorization."

Du Heng smiled and said, "Uncle Zhu, don't worry, I'll go to the Lingyao Temple to change something, and then find out if there are any ingredients in the sect that can be eaten. I can't always eat yours."

Old Zhu smiled silly, and he patted Du Heng on the shoulder hard: "Hey, that little thing is divided by the sect, and waste is also a waste. But uncle advises you, the people in the spiritual medicine field are very tight to see their spiritual plants, so don't go to find bad luck. If you really want to find food, go to the beast garden to see. Those spirit beasts are all old men, and there are a lot of things to waste every day. If you can make a good relationship, even Wang Jian can't do anything to you in the future."

Du Heng bowed again: "I remember."

Old Zhu Gong bowed: "Go quickly, don't delay the cooking time. Go back and let Xiao Cai and the others put your dishes at the entrance of the dining hall." Du Heng saluted Chef Zhu solemnly: "Thank you, Uncle Zhu, then I'm leaving."

The people in Ershen Hall are really good. Du Heng walked down the mountain road happily with a smile on his back.

After their figures disappeared on the mountain road, Xiao Cai asked Lao Zhu in confusion: "Chef, why are you so good to Du Heng? You are both delivering food and picking up some."

Lao Zhu smiled and said, "Don't you understand? I tell you, this is to win over. If Du Heng is a good person, he will be thinking about my love. He is in charge of Yishen Hall, and there are inner disciples next to him. If you get benefits in the future, we will definitely not lose ours. Moreover, this young man is a man of beautiful eyes and beautiful eyes. Sooner or later, he will have great achievements."

Xiao Cai suddenly opened up: "Chef, are you saying he can become the chef?"

Lao Zhu looked at Xiao Cai, and Xiao Cai quickly lowered his head and smiled. Lao Zhu patted Xiao Cai on the shoulder: "Learn to learn!"

Du Heng, who was being missed, paid attention to the flowers, plants and trees on the roadside, and wanted to find ingredients that could be eaten. When he went up the mountain before, he only saw the green all over his eyes and did not look closely. Now he found something was wrong.

As long as ordinary trees on the mountain grow well, you can feel the powerful wood spiritual energy as long as you are inside. However, there are not too many wood spiritual energy on the mountain in Shenxiu Palace, and the tall trees emit golden spiritual energy!

Du Heng casually poked a grass from the side of the road, and he pulled it. The grass was as tough as a rope, and there was a faint golden light flashing on the section. He lost the grass in frustration. In this case, he was still thinking about growing vegetables...

After descending Shenxiu Peak, he walked eastward across a lake, and a basin appeared in front of him. There was a powerful spiritual gathering array above the basin, and you could see thousands of acres of spiritual medicine fields at the bottom. As soon as you reached the barrier, Du Heng sighed comfortably. No wonder the wood spiritual energy around him was so sparse, and it turned out that they were all concentrated in the spiritual medicine fields by the spiritual gathering array.

When he looked at the spiritual plants in the medicine field, he didn't know them any more. However, there were also things he was familiar with, such as ginseng and wolfberry Chonglou. But when he looked at them twice, the servants in the spiritual fields looked at him like thieves. Du Heng could only move his eyes away and walked towards the main peak to the east.

The Lingyao Temple is at the foot of the mountain of Shenlai Peak. Walk along the path next to the Lingyao Field. You can get there with a stick of incense. Before you even arrived at the Lingyao Temple, Du Heng smelled a bitter smell of medicine. Looking around, he saw that there was a purple-red spiritual plant on the ground in front of the Lingyao Temple, leaving only a small path for the monks to pass through.

There are quite a lot of people coming and going to the Lingyao Temple, and it is even more spectacular when you enter the door. I saw rows of cabinets in the medicine hall, with the names of herbs marked on them. Most of the monks in the foundation-building stage are from the spiritual medicine hall. The work day after day makes their expressions as steady as the smell of medicine in the air.

Seeing that no one lined up in front of one of the monks, Du Heng took out the bamboo jar from his sleeve and walked over: "Hello, I want to change some spirit stones." The man raised his eyelids and looked at Du Heng up and down a few times: "What do you want to change?"

Du Heng opened the bamboo jar: "Word, someone told me that I can change the spirit stones here."

The man looked at Du Heng suspiciously: "Who told you?" Du Heng thought for a while: "Jiang Shangzhou."

The Shenxu Palace is so big, with thousands of monks inside. Can this person know Jiang Shangzhou? Du Heng gave Jiang Shangzhou's name without any burden.

Hearing Jiang Shangzhou's name, the monk in front of him smiled: "Yes, it can indeed replace the spirit stones. There are 138 black golden cicadas and one eighty spirit stone. Do you want to take the spirit stone or look at other spirit plants?"

Du Heng was secretly happy. A 80-spirited spirit stone was rich! He said calmly: "Switch it to a spirit stone."

After a while, there were 11,040 spirit stones added to Du Heng's storage bag, and he was in a good mood. Just as Du Heng was about to go out, the monk who replaced the spirit stones for him asked, "What else did Jiang Shangzhou say besides asking you to replace the spirit stones?"

Du Heng asked, "What's the matter?" Jiang Shangzhou talked a lot, except for being a little more reserved on the first day, and he had to talk about it every day for the past two days. He came to Du Heng to talk about it at dawn in the morning. How could Du Heng know what he said?

The monk smiled and rubbed his hands: "Nothing is nothing, you can go."

The attitude of the monk before and after was changed so much. Du Heng thought that he might be an acquaintance of Jiang Shangzhou. Why would you ask him after you go back?

There is a small path under the spiritual medicine field that can lead directly to the beast garden, and there is no need to go around Shenxiu Peak. This road is leaning against the lake and the mountains, which is quite quiet. There are lotus leaves and lotus pods in the lake. I wonder if these are planted by the sect, so Du Heng dared not do it casually.

The path by the lake was quite quiet. After walking for a cup of tea, he didn't see it alone. After turning a mountain bay, the road was so quiet that only Du Heng's footsteps could be heard.

Du Heng felt a little guilty: "I would have brought the wontons if I had known it." It was Chu Zhu and the others who told him that he would pay attention to his spirit beasts. He didn't dare to walk in the sect with the spirit beasts. Without the wontons to enhance their courage, Du Heng always felt that he was being stared at.

Xiaoxiao cheered Du Heng in the basket: "Jiuchi." If Du Heng was really scared, he would prepare to sing for Du Heng. But his uncle said that his illusion could only cover his appearance and not his voice. If his voice was too loud and attracted the response from other birds, his identity would be exposed.

Nowadays, it is really difficult to be a phoenix. The charm of nowhere to be placed really makes Xiaoxiao a headache. The beautiful Xiaoxiao combed the fluff on her belly and then lay down obediently.

After walking for a while, Du Heng saw a lot of gray-black plants piled up by the roadside. He looked closely and saw that this was not the water chestnut? To be precise, this was the plant that grew water chestnuts.

The water chestnut plant is full of thorns, and even the leaves spread on the water surface have thorns. Its structure is somewhat similar to water chestnuts, but it is much larger than water chestnuts. A mature water chestnut plant can occupy a large area on the water surface. Not to mention anything else, its leaves are much larger than ordinary lotus leaves.

Grove fermentation is an aquatic plant. After the rhizomes grow from the water, it strives to grow and float on the water surface. After it stands on the water surface, the grove fermentation buns begin to grow on its stems. The shape of the grove fermentation buns is very similar to that of the chicken head, and it is also covered with spikes. Therefore, the grove fermentation is also called chicken head rice in Du Heng’s hometown, and the grove fermentation buns that grow water chestnuts are also called chicken head soaks.

Peel the fierce chicken head soaked skin and you can see the water chestnut seeds inside. Fresh water chestnut seeds are densely wrapped in the water chestnut bag, and there is a reddish-brown skin on the outside. After removing the skin, you can see the white water chestnut.

Grove fermented meat can be cooked in soup and braised as Chinese medicine. Whether fresh or air-dried, it has a unique flavor. These grove stems piled on the roadside are obviously grown by people in the sect. Most of the grove fermented breads under the grove leaves have disappeared. Only the thick stems and the ungrown grove stems are left behind.

It can be seen that these water chestnuts have been dragged out of the water for a while. The skin of the wet stems has been blown dry. However, their inner parts are still tender. Even if the water chestnut plants stay on the shore for a few days, they can continue to grow after being placed in the water.

Du Heng used spiritual energy to roll a small water chestnut bag and handed it to Xiaoxiao. There were purple petals on the top of the water chestnut bag. He said, "Xiaoxiao, the seeds inside can be eaten, just be careful and don't be poked by the jabs outside." Xiaoxiao made a surprise tremolo in the backpack. He had never seen this thing before!

Du Heng looked at the water chestnut plant in front of him mistly, and he said to Xiaoxiao: "This thing is called chicken head rice in our hometown. The thing with chicken head rice growing is called chicken head soak stems. This one can be eaten."

He hasn't eaten chicken head soaked stems for a long time. This thing is regional and seasonal. After that time, he is not at that place and can't eat anything. The fried stems look like lotus root tape, but the taste is different from the lotus root tape.

Unexpectedly, in the cultivation world, he could see such a large piece of chicken head soaked stems.

He looked at the stems piled on the roadside, and there were already dishes such as stir-fried stems and cold stems floating in front of him. Does anyone still want so many stems? If no one wants them, he picked them up and tear them off the skin outside, and stir-fry them and it will be a delicious dish!

Du Heng stood up and looked around. Not far ahead, a servant was riding a small boat to pick up the water and put it on the boat. Their movements were very rude. After taking the full water crumb bags, the rest were piled up on the shore in a mess.

Du Heng ran to the servant who was throwing the water chestnut stems on the shore in two steps: "This fellow disciple, are these water chestnut stems still useful?"

The servant waved his hand and said, "It's useless. The water chestnuts have been collected this year. If you don't salvage these troubles, they will rot in the water. Do you want water chestnuts? Here, I'll give you two." As the servant on the boat threw two water chestnuts bigger than their fists into Du Heng's backpack.

A smile on his face was hit and poked his head out of the basket: "Chir!" Who hit him?!

The servant smiled: "So you are from the Beast Garden. The little spirit pet you raised is quite cute." Xiaoxiao was no longer angry: "Swish swish~"

Du Heng smiled and bowed: "Thank you fellow Taoist. What I want to ask is, do you still want these water chestnut stems?"

The peddler on the boat said, "What do you want this thing to do?" Du Heng asked boldly: "Then can I... take some?"

The servant waved his hand and said, "Take it!" Du Heng became more courageous: "Can I take it all away?"

The servants looked at each other and were happy: "If you can take it all, we will still be able to ask for anything. But this thing is full of thorns, and the delicate spirit beast only eats the water chestnut inside. What's the use of taking it back?"

Du Heng scratched his head awkwardly: "I want to take it back..." The servant on the ship said: "Is it right to take it back to refine the alchemy?"

Du Heng beat him vaguely. What if they knew that they were taking it back was for food, what if they looked down on him and refused to give it to him?

The servants were very generous: "Hahaha, take it. We have been picking up this thing in the past two days. After picking it up, put it on the shore. As long as you can pick it up, do it yourself." Du Heng was overjoyed and bowed to the servants: "Thank you, thank you!"

This is how the seasonal vegetables delivered to the door were obtained! Du Heng was floating when he opened the storage bag. What is this called? You can’t eat it after searching for it~ It’s great!

Du Heng put all the chicken head soaked stems piled on the shore in storage bags. If there are so many stems, if they are made into special dishes for chicken head soaked stems, they can be eaten in the canteen for at least two or three days, right?

The servants saw Du Heng raising their hands and put away the stalks. They looked at each other: "So you are the immortal chief."

It’s no wonder that the servants didn’t regard Du Heng as a monk, mainly because Du Heng’s attitude was so good. They had never seen such a kind immortal elder. The monks in Shenxu Palace used their nostrils when walking and looking at people. Especially those sword cultivators, even those who practice Qi must wear a sword on their waists, for fear that others would not be able to see that they were monks.

Du Heng was very gentle from the beginning, and spoke politely and kindly. They were clumsy and thought he was a servant in the beast garden. Unexpectedly, he was a real monk, and his cultivation seemed to be quite low.

Du Heng waved his hand modestly: "Don't, I'm not a fairy-god, I'm just a little magic. By the way, do you want to catch all the stalks on the lake? Do you need me to help you?"

The servants were overjoyed: "Thank you, Immortal!"

Du Heng's spiritual energy spread along the water surface, and complete water chestnut plants emerged from the water. Du Heng pulled down the large, plump-looking water chestnut bags and placed them in the servants' cabins. The plants dripping with water were stuffed into the storage bags by him.

The whole process took only a few breaths, and the monks on the boat were stunned.

Du Heng's move has greatly benefited the group of servants. They have to work on the lake for several days before they can finish the tricks. Du Heng liberated them as soon as he lifted his hand. They will be much more relaxed in the next few days!

The happy mailmen bowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Chief!" Du Heng waved his hand: "It's okay, I want to thank you for giving me so many water chestnut stems." He saved his kitchen, at least today's vegetarian dishes were settled.

At the beginning, the sergeant who talked to Du Heng called Du Heng: "Sir, do you just need the stem and don't have the water chestnut? If you don't dislike it, you can take the water chestnut rice in the cabin, too?"

Du Heng was stunned for a moment: "Hey? Do you want it?"

The servant said: "The five brothers are responsible for raising these water chestnuts. The water chestnuts this year have been collected. The rest are too tender and cannot be used as medicine. Instead of going back and peeling them hard and not pleasing them, why not be pleased, why should the immortal chief take them back and feed them to your spirit beast?"

Du Heng thought about it and said gratefully: "Then I'm better obey my destiny than respect, thank you." Xiaoxiao poked his head out of the basket and tweeted thankfully, and his snacks were settled.
To be continued...
