"Several thousand catties per mu?"
The Tiger Immortal, the Deer Immortal, and the Goat Immortal were all shocked and incredulous.
They were not ordinary demons, and they were not ignorant of the world.
In fact, after becoming the state preceptor of Che Chi Guo, the three of them had already understood the people's livelihood.
Therefore, he had a deep understanding of crops.
The more it was like this, the more unbelievable it was.
Currently, in the human countries, three to four hundred catties of ordinary crops could be considered a bumper harvest. Two to three hundred catties was the norm.
However, Zhang Wenle mentioned something called sweet potato, which could yield thousands of catties per mu.
This directly increased the yield by ten times. No matter how one listened, it was unbelievable.
Zhang Wenle nodded his head matter-of-factly."That's right. As long as the soil is well-watered and well taken care of, it can easily produce two to three thousand jin per mu.”
"If the growth momentum is better, five or six thousand catties is not impossible!”
Zhang Wenle said this slowly because in modern times, high-yield cultivation could reach more than 10,000 catties.
However, considering that the environment in modern times was different from that in ancient times, there were no fertilizers and other cultivation techniques here, so Zhang Wenle said less.
Even so, it still shocked the three great immortals.
"How can there be such a divine item in this world?" the Tiger Immortal murmured.
"If there were such a divine item," the Deer Immortal murmured,"wouldn't all the humans of the four continents have enough to eat?"”
The Goat Immortal shook his head in disbelief."It's impossible for such a divine item to exist…"
Zhang Wenle smiled. He could tell that they didn't believe him, so he stood up and returned to his room.
Zhang Wenle took out a few sweet potatoes from the big and small bags.
This was something he had brought over from the modern era, and it was also one of the items he had prepared.
"This is it."
When Zhang Wenle returned, he saw the three great demons and showed them the sweet potatoes in his hands.
" This thing is born from the soil. After it matures, it can be boiled, ground into powder, and…"
Zhang Wenle introduced the sweet potatoes.
Then, he handed one over.
The Goat Immortal took the sweet potato, his eyes filled with curiosity. He examined it, then put it under his nose to smell it.
"Yes, it has a sweet fragrance. It's indeed suitable for consumption.”
The Goat Immortal was a mountain goat and had been a vegetarian before he became a spirit. He smelled the sweet potato and had an appetite.
Suppressing his appetite, he handed it to the Deer Immortal.
The Deer Immortal examined it, then nodded in agreement.
Only the Tiger Immortal didn't feel the same hunger as the other two.
In the end, the sweet potato returned to Zhang Wenle's hands. He introduced it,""As long as this thing sprouts and sprouts, it will grow into pieces and the sweet potato will grow in the soil.”
"After four or five months, it can be taken out from the ground and eaten.”
As he spoke, Zhang Wenle opened the sweet potato in his hand, revealing the red inside. Instantly, a faint sweetness spread out.
"Even if it's raw, it's still sweet and crispy.”
As he spoke, Zhang Wenle distributed the sweet potatoes to the three Great Immortals and took a bite himself.
Seeing this, the three demon immortals tried it one after another.
"Good, this taste is indeed excellent!" The Goat Immortal's eyes lit up with delight.
The Deer Immortal took a bite and nodded."It's even sweeter and fresher than ordinary grains.”
The Tiger Immortal took a bite, but didn't feel anything. He nodded."Not bad, not bad."
The three Great Immortals calmed down and asked,""Although this thing is sweet and refreshing, can it really produce thousands of catties per mu?”
"This matter is simple. We just need to plant it and experiment.”
Zhang Wenle didn't waste any time and gave the most practical suggestion.
The three great demon immortals came to a sudden realization. What could be more intuitive than planting it like this?
"Fellow Daoists, take this sweet potato and plant it in the Chechi Nation.”
"This way, Chechi Country will not be short of food next year," said Zhang Wenle.”
"Good!"
The three great demon immortals immediately agreed."If you can really produce thousands of mu per mu, Fellow Daoist Mingxuan's merits are boundless.”
The three demon immortals looked at each other and said in agreement,"In fact, he is even comparable to Shennong!"
Shennong was one of the three ancient emperors.
His greatest achievement was the invention of food cultivation and the search for grains, allowing the human race to be self-sufficient.
Zhang Wenle shook his head." Fellow Daoists, you're being too modest. Although the yield per mu is high, it can't be compared to five grains. It's not suitable for year-round consumption and can only be used to fill one's stomach for a short period of time.”
"Just this item alone can't be compared to Human Emperor Shennong.”
"Even so, Fellow Daoist's merits are immeasurable and worthy of being remembered by the human race.”the Deer Immortal said.
This sentence reminded Zhang Wenle.
If the sweet potato was taken out, it would definitely be able to be promoted very quickly.
However, if it was really promoted, who would still remember his name?
Therefore, Zhang Wenle pondered for a moment,"If that's the case, then this thing is only called 'sweet potato'. It seems a little lacking."”
Zhang Wenle thought for a moment and slowly said,"Why don't we call this thing the Dao Potato? It can also be considered a display of the might of our Dao."”
"In the future, even if this item spreads throughout the world and spreads throughout the human race, you will still be able to remember the good things of our Daoism!”
Zhang Wenle's suggestion immediately won the approval of the three demon immortals.
"Great!"
"Fellow Daoist, you don't covet fame, but you're named after the 'Dao'. How admirable!”
"In that case, this item will be called the Dao Potato.”
The three demon immortals agreed, and they discussed the matter of planting sweet potatoes.
Then, the three demon immortals could not sit still anymore.
"There's no time to lose. The three of you should return to Che Chi Country and arrange the planting.”
Zhang Wenle took the initiative and said,"In that case, the sooner we plant them, the sooner the humans of Che Chi Country can get rid of the pain of hunger!"”
"Good!"
When the three great demons heard this, they did not delay any longer. After bidding farewell to Zhang Wenle, they left the Three Purities Temple and returned to the Che Chi Country's Imperial Capital.
Before they left, they invited Zhang Wenle to go with them, but Zhang Wenle rejected them with the excuse that he needed to cultivate.
After sending them off, Zhang Wenle stood at the entrance of the Taoist temple for a while.
Zhang Wenle had this thought in his mind: "I wonder if the sweet potato will accumulate golden light of virtue after it is popularized?”
The next moment, Zhang Wenle shook his head.
Bringing sweet potatoes over to promote planting was just a convenient thing for him. He did not have to ask for anything in return.
"I should focus on my own cultivation. I should take advantage of the time I have in this world to cultivate as soon as possible and become a Transcendent.”
