“All the land here similar to this, right? We will not take it if it is not.”

Zhao Shanlin said with a smile, “Desert Cistanche will not be authentic if it does not grow in this kind of field.”

“Okay.”

Fang Qiu nodded in agreement and said, “Since Mr. Zhao is satisfied with this, I’ll take this one.”

“The land here is really different from other places. Although it doesn’t look good on the surface, every piece of land is a treasure.”

Li Ji answered with a smile and then said, “I also found some workers for you. All the construction materials have been prepared. Once you give the order, the construction will begin immediately.”

“Really?”

Fang Qiu looked at Li Ji in surprise and asked, “How much is it? I’ll pay you.”

“Let’s talk over there.”

Li Ji turned, indicating that they should go to the other side.

Fang Qiu left the others to continue their walk around the place, while he went to a small mound about eight meters away with Li Ji.

“The higher-ups said that these expenses would be covered by your swords.”

Li Ji chuckled.

“Then I’ll suffer a loss.”

Hearing that, Fang Qiu’s lips instantly curled.

“No, it’s not a loss.”

Li Ji shook his head repeatedly and said, “We are making contributions to the country. How can this kind of thing be counted as a loss?”

“You’re right.”

Fang Qiu nodded, pointed at the land and said, “When I think about it, the country didn’t treat me too badly!”

“That’s the right way to put it.”

Li Ji said with a smile, “Even the construction team and materials have been prepared for you. How could our country treat its people so shabbily?”

They chatted for a while. Li Ji brought Fang Qiu to walk around the field and then left.

After seeing Li Ji off, Fang Qiu began to shape the terrain within a radius of ten kilometers, by himself.

He did a rough calculation and found that the area of this land was indeed very large. He did not expect that the country would provide such a huge piece of land for him.

Although it did not actually reach a radius of ten kilometers, it was sufficient to build a factory and a cultivation area.

Fang Qiu also knew that the reason why the country agreed to his request so readily and gave him such a large piece of land was because it was the reward for the swords he contributed to the army. Moreover, it was because the sand-control project was too difficult to complete. It took a large amount of time and money. Almost no one wanted this kind of land. Since Fang Qiu wanted it, they could just give it to him. Meanwhile, they could also ask Fang Qiu to control the sand through afforestation. Wasn’t that killing two birds with one stone?

With his land as the center, Fang Qiu began to create the terrain.

At the same time, as arranged by Zhao Shanlin, the construction team hired by Li Ji, officially began their construction work.

It took him three days before he finally finished his work.

Three days later, in the factory that had been constructed,

“How is it?”

Walking inside the newly-built factory, Fang Qiu asked Zhao Shanlin. who was next to him.

“Almost done.”

Zhao Shanlin nodded and said, “I made a call yesterday. The seedlings we have cultivated over there should be delivered soon. When the seedlings arrive, we can officially start transplanting and nurturing them.”

Zhou Xiaotian asked, “What about the land outside?”

“What about it?”

Zhao Shanlin was stunned at first and then said, “Since we chose to grow it here, it must be cultivated outdoors like the wild Desert Cistanche. Since you have arrived at the origin of Desert Cistanche, do you still want to build some greenhouses?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xiaotian suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.

Zhu Benzheng and Sun Hao both turned their heads away and snickered.

“No.”

Zhou Xiaotian shook his head and waved his hand, saying, “Of course I know it needs to be cultivated outdoors. I mean, the land outside is not flat. Do we need to raze the land? And even if you want to plant trees, you have to dig a pit first. Why don’t we dig the pits first before the seedlings arrive?”

“No.”

Fang Qiu immediately shook his head and said, “This is a desert. You can’t just change the terrain here. If you can easily change it, the desert would have disappeared long ago. Even if you dig the pits now, in half an hour, the holes will be filled with yellow sand when the wind blows. At that time, you will need to dig again.”

“This…”

Zhou Xiaotian smiled awkwardly and said, “It’s my first time in the desert, don’t blame me.”

Just as Zhao Shanlin estimated, it did not take long for the seedlings to arrive.

As soon as the seedlings arrived, all the people, including workers, interns, Fang Qiu, the other three roommates and Zhao Shanlin, immediately began the cultivation.

Under Zhao Shanlin’s guidance, everyone did a good job.

Although there were not that many seedlings, they still planted a lot.

After all the seeds were planted, everyone stood up and looked at the outcome of their labor. They were all smiling, with sweat on their faces.

In the evening, Fang Qiu specially bought some food and drinks to entertain everyone.

When it was late at night, everyone went to sleep.

Fang Qiu walked out of the factory.

He walked to the middle of the land where they planted the Desert Cistanche’s seedlings and found the best-looking Desert Cistanche that he had deliberately chosen to plant here at noon.

Then he sat down next to it.

Facing the Desert Cistanche, he took a deep breath and began to mobilize his internal Qi and mental powers.

He started to mobilize the Qi of Heaven and Earth, using himself as the center.

Although he had already shaped the terrain three days ago, it was of no use without the Qi of Heaven and Earth as the medium.

However, what Fang Qiu needed to do now was to forcibly pour Internal Qi into the ordinary Desert Cistanche he chose and make it the medium to attract the Qi of Heaven and Earth so that it could in turn, attract the Qi of Heaven and Earth from all directions to cultivate all the Desert Cistanche in this area.

“Great Hand of Destruction!”

While driving the internal Qi to run quickly in his body, Fang Qiu shouted to himself.

The surrounding Qi of Heaven and Earth immediately began to surge wildly.

“Disperse!”

When the Qi of Heaven and Earth gathered above his head, Fang Qiu immediately dispersed the Great Hand of Destruction, directly driving his mental powers to collect all the surging Qi of Heaven and Earth and then forcefully pouring it into the Desert Cistanche in front of him.

“Whoosh.”

As soon as the energy entered the plant, it began to tremble violently.

Fang Qiu could feel it.

After a large amount of energy was poured in, it did not stay completely in the Desert Cistanche’s body. Instead, it directly went through and seeped into the ground from the roots of the plant, spreading out in all directions like a spider web.

“Buzz…”

When the Qi of Heaven and Earth completely merged with the terrain and formed a perfect cycle, a gust of wind blew.

Fang Qiu also stood up and opened his eyes.

Sitting there quietly and simply circulating the Internal Qi in his body, he could clearly sense the familiar feeling.

When he was absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the center of the terrain, the process was faster than when he did in the outside world.

The terrain was complete!

Fang Qiu quickly got up and walked to the side.

After all, the terrain here had just been formed. His task would have been in vain if he carelessly practiced here and took over the medium of this terrain from the Desert Cistanche.

He retreated to the side.

Fang Qiu looked at the Desert Cistanche, which looked more eye-catching than it did at noon and then nodded.

From today on, this Desert Cistanche was the eye of the formation here.

It could be like the original Fairy Desert Cistanche from the terrain before, constantly driving the terrain to absorb its essence. Then, it could use itself as a medium to absorb the Qi of Heaven and Earth into the terrain and finally form the terrain of heaven and earth.

Now that the terrain had just been formed, the Qi of Heaven and Earth was not sufficient.

He believed that as long as he let it absorb for a while, this area would definitely become increasingly better when the Qi of Heaven and Earth was sufficient.

Only when he was done with the terrain did Fang Qiu turn his head with satisfaction and look toward the east.

Unexpectedly, he found that it was dawn and the morning sun had already risen. There was a faint trace of purple Qi between heaven and earth.

“Although I did not consume a lot of energy just now, I absorbed a lot of it.”

Thinking of this, Fang Qiu closed his eyes and used Insight.

He found that not only were the 12 standard meridians filled with Internal Qi after his re-cultivation, but he could also see some Internal Qi flickering against the exine of his meridians like a flame. Obviously, the internal Qi was overflowing.

Fang Qiu smiled when he saw this.

He did not expect that he could get such an unexpected gain after spending a whole night on this terrain.

If the internal Qi of the 12 standard meridians overflowed, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians would emerge soon.

At the moment, the internal Qi from the 12 standard meridians had begun to overflow, but it was not enough. It was not enough for the Eight Extraordinary Meridians to develop further with these Internal Qi.

However, the barrier was broken finally. Once it was broken, the following cultivation would be much simpler and more and more Internal Qi would flow out. Breaking through to the seventh class was just around the corner!

Just as Fang Qiu was standing alone on the ground and feeling the situation inside his body,

“Pitter-patter… ”

The sound of footsteps could be heard.

He turned his head to have a look.

He saw that Zhao Shanlin was walking out of the factory.

When he came out and saw Fang Qiu, he was stunned and said, “You’re up so early.”

“You too.”

Fang Qiu replied with a smile.

“I’m old. I can’t sleep for too long.”

Zhao Shanlin chuckled and added, “Besides, I’m worried about the Desert Cistanche I just planted, so I got up early to see how it was doing after one night.”

As he spoke, Zhao Shanlin began to observe the plants.

“It’s incredible. How could it grow so well?”

After observing for a while, Zhao Shanlin said in surprise, “I was worried that it would take some time for it to get used to the terrain. I did not expect that it has already started to take root.”

Beside him, seeing Zhao Shanlin so surprised, Fang Qiu just smiled slightly.

He would not tell him that this was the effect of the Qi of Heaven and Earth.

“Mr. Zhao.”

Fang Qiu thought for a moment and asked, “How’s the production speed in Jiangjing? The first batch has been planted here. I’m worried that if it takes too long, there will be a gap. And it won’t be easy for you to manage all of them.”

“Don’t worry.”

Zhao Shanlin smiled and said, “The speed of raising the seedlings is very fast and now there are plenty of people. It will take about 20 days to fill up this land.”

“That’s good.”

Fang Qiu nodded with understanding.

After answering Fang Qiu’s question, Zhao Shanlin continued to check the field.

As for Fang Qiu, he took out his phone and called Yang Ningyuan.

“Beep beep…”

The phone rang several times before it was connected.

“Hello?”

Yang Ningyuan smiled wryly at the other end of the phone. He said, “You should check the time before calling me. It’s only half past five.”

“Uh…”

Fang Qiu smiled awkwardly and said, “I thought that bosses always wake up early.”

“Tell me, what’s the matter?”

Yang Ningyuan asked.

“The Desert Cistanche cultivation base has been completed in Beijiang. You can come over to inspect it.”
