Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Marking Territory for Planting? Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Marking Territory for Planting? “Ten? Won’t the citron daylilies have shriveled up by then?”
Would the ice silkworm cocoon in her hand wait for her to complete ten advanced tasks? Besides, healing people wasn’t as easy as eating and sleeping. Who knew how long it would take to complete the tasks she had taken on?
“Think of a way to find a more challenging task that can help me level up quickly. The ice silkworm cocoon can’t be left out in the open forever,” she said to the jade mirror in a bargaining tone.
An ice silkworm isn’t the same as a regular silkworm. Even though an ice silkworm cocoon could be left for a long time without the glasswing butterfly breaking out, she still needed a place to store this enormous bag of them, didn’t she?
Should she keep it in her room?
As Ya Molian had said, if she kept this enormous bag there, she might end up frozen like those silkworms. Wasn’t that weird?
But where else could she keep it? At Ya Molian’s place? Or in the bamboo hut on the hill behind Ya Molian’s house? She felt like other than Ya Molian, she really had no other options.
‘Ice silkworms can be cultivated for medicinal herbs.’
Another nine characters appeared on the jade mirror.
Suddenly, she had a spark of realization – she had completely overlooked the fact that the ice silkworm was not a common silkworm.
This living creature, the ice silkworm, not only could its frozen excretion be used in medicine, but even after it transformed into a glasswing butterfly, the butterfly dust and even the whole butterfly itself, could be medicinal. The ice silkworm silk could also serve as incredible herbal medicine.
Of course, to cultivate the ice silkworm for medicinal purposes required significant effort. First and foremost, their diet was nothing ordinary; they ate medicinal herb leaves!
Doesn’t that mean her newly fruitful medicinal garden could potentially be stripped bare by these creatures?
“Very well, I’ll cultivate them for their medicinal properties.”
Let them eat. Starting from today, she would collect more medicinal plants from the mountain and fill up every patch of potential land for cultivation. Surely that should be enough for these little fellows, right?
And for now, since the ice silkworms had already formed their cocoons, they wouldn’t be eating anything anyway.
‘I recommend you to read the jade book about land enclosure cultivation, it would be very helpful.’
Just as she was about to lead the sack towards the medicinal garden, she saw another line of text appearing on the jade mirror. She paused and glanced towards a thick stack of jade books to her side.
“Land enclosure cultivation? Does that mean I can treat these ice silkworms as normal silkworms, build some racks, and feed them with medicinal leaf or plants from my garden without letting them wreak havoc in my garden?”
If that’s the case, then it would be fantastic.
She left the sack, picked up a jade book from the side and started to read it carefully.
While Lin Caisang continued reading the jade book in her Golden Bead space, a father-son duo arrived at the Lin Family’s yard. This duo was the shameless kind.
“Dad, you and Mom are living with Sangsang now. Your lives are getting better and better.” Liu Baixiao looked at Lin Laogeng who was sitting in the wheelchair in the yard. His face was ingratiating and he started to speak in a bright, shining tone.
“Look, Sangsang already has so much land. She surely doesn’t need our two acres, right? I have been kicked out of the Liu Family, and bought that broken house. I don’t even have a single silver piece left. Perhaps…you could give me our two acres of land? After all, Sangsang has plenty of land, so you and Mom won’t worry about food and clothing.”
To live in Ya Village, one simply couldn’t do without owning some land.
However, he was not willing to spend money to buy land from the village head or from the land officer.
Conveniently, Lin Caisang had plenty of hilly land which she had cultivated well. So, the few acres of land his father owned could be perfectly used for him to cultivate grain. It seemed like a perfect win-win situation.
