Chapter 100 Only ghosts will believe
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing rolled her eyes at Qin Ziling again, and then said, "The Phantom Lizard Dragon is an omnivorous beast, so it is relatively easy to raise."
"You mean I can feed it directly with food and grass?" Qin Ziling showed a look of pain when he heard that. He has been feeding it wild animals every day these days!
"You don't feed it meat every day, do you? Alien beasts, no matter how small, have huge appetites." Xiao Qing couldn't help but ask curiously when she saw the pained look on Qin Ziling's face.
"Not only do I feed it meat every day, but I'm also afraid of mistreating it, so I feed it snow wolf meat, muntjac meat and other nutritious meats." Qin Ziling said with more pain when he heard this.
Xiao Qing looked at Qin Ziling's exaggerated expression and couldn't help but smiled. After a while, she said, "No wonder you were in such a hurry to come to me. If you feed them like this every day, when those three eggs hatch, all the wild animals you hunt will end up in their stomachs."
"I didn't say there are three exotic beast eggs in my house, so don't take it personally!" Qin Ziling said.
"Okay, brother, you happened to catch a phantom lizard dragon and wanted to tame it." Xiao Qing gave Qin Ziling a speechless look and said.
"Yes, that's what you said." Qin Ziling said seriously.
Xiao Qing rolled her eyes at Qin Ziling, and continued, "Although the Phantom Lizard Dragon is an omnivorous beast and can eat only food and grass, it is still a beast after all, and it must not be fed only with food and grass. It also needs to be supplemented with some medicinal herbs such as Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, as well as meat. And if you want to keep its beast attributes as much as possible, in addition to meat and appropriate medicinal herbs for every meal, you also need to feed it colorful centipedes, golden locusts and other insects every now and then."
"The phantom lizard dragons used as breeding animals have higher requirements for the amount and quality of meat, insects and medicinal materials. Even so, the quality of the breeding animal and its offspring will continue to decline. At this time, it is necessary to search for wild exotic animals in the wild and bring them back for breeding, and then select high-quality cubs from them to train as breeding animals." Xiao Qing said.
"Seven-colored centipede? Golden-winged locust?" Qin Ziling frowned slightly.
It's okay to let him hunt, but it would be a bit troublesome to ask him to catch insects specifically.
"I can prepare the insects and medicinal herbs for you, so you don't have to go out and look for them. Our Xiao family also raises many species of exotic beasts. These insects and medicinal herbs such as ginseng are relatively commonly used feed." Xiao Qing said.
"That's best." Qin Ziling nodded and looked at Xiao Qing with approval.
This woman is not only beautiful, has a good figure, is highly cultivated, and is rich, but she is also very smart. If one day you don't want to roll up your sleeves anymore and want to lie down, you can really consider following her.
"However, there is one thing that Brother Qin needs to pay attention to. Exotic beasts can be imprisoned in a small space for a short period of time, but it will cause problems over time. They need to be placed in a relatively open wild area. Generally speaking, at least 20 to 30 acres of forest and grassland are needed."
"Our Xiao family has six forests outside the city where we raise exotic beasts, both openly and secretly. Other forces, like the relatively weaker force like Youlong Dean, generally also have places outside the city where they raise exotic beasts if they want to stably obtain exotic beast meat suitable for their skills and make money." Xiao Qing said immediately afterwards.
Qin Ziling's brows, which had just relaxed when he heard this, frowned slightly again.
He now has only one subordinate, Liu Xiaoqiang. Even if he finds a forest outside the city as a secret place, there is no one to guard it!
"It seems that it's the same everywhere. If you want to develop, you have to gather a group of people!" Qin Ziling rubbed his temples, feeling a little headache.
He himself has just started out in this world, and because his trump cards cannot be seen in public, he can only keep a low profile. How can he have the courage to recruit soldiers and raise the banner?
But without manpower and horses, many things would be difficult to handle, even raising a few exotic beasts would be a problem.
"Should we just kill it and eat it as a tonic? But Xiao Qing said that this Phantom Lizard Dragon is a new breed that Dean Youlong has just cultivated. It can be said to be a goose that lays golden eggs. It would be such a waste to just kill it and eat it! But if we don't kill it, we have no place to keep it. It's really a headache!" Qin Ziling looked down at the wine in the glass, at a loss.
“Our Xiao family has more than ten manors outside the city. These manors not only have good farmland and houses, but are also surrounded by walls and sentinels for protection, and they cover some large and some small areas.
If Brother Qin feels that there is no place to raise exotic animals, I can ask the family to vacate a manor covering an area of 200 to 300 acres. You can set aside a piece of land in the manor to raise exotic animals, with a fence and sentries for protection, and outsiders will not know.
If Brother Qin feels that it is inappropriate for this matter to be associated with the Xiao family, the world is in turmoil now, and many gentry and wealthy people outside the city have moved into the city. Some of them are selling their fertile land and manors. I can help you look for a manor first, and then you can come forward to purchase it.
If you don't have enough money, I have some here. But the protection of those manors should not be as good as our Xiao family's manor, and the geographical location will also be worse. "Xiao Qing said.
Qin Ziling looked up at Xiao Qing and wanted to tell her that brother was not short of money, but of people. Moreover, brother did not want to be high-profile right now, otherwise if he was targeted by some bandit gang, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
I still want to make a fortune quietly and improve my strength secretly, so that others will think that I am still on the first level, but in fact I am already on several levels.
"Forget it!" Qin Ziling waved his hand and said, "I won't bother you with these. You just need to prepare those insects and herbs for me."
Anyway, regardless of whether or not to eat the Phantom Lizard Dragon directly, it must be allowed to hatch its baby successfully and it must be given the necessary nutrients.
"Okay, then I'll ask someone to prepare some for you right now. As for the rest, just tell me whenever you need it. Now my secret identity is the great elder of the Xiao family, and my status and power are equal to that of the head of the family." Xiao Qing said.
Qin Ziling was slightly shocked when he heard that Xiao Qing was now the great elder of the Xiao family, with the same status and power as the head of the family. However, he nodded calmly and said, "Okay, I'll tell you. If you want to have a drink with someone one day, leave a message to Shopkeeper Zhu and I'll come. Forget about other things. I'm still relatively weak and can't help you much."
Xiao Qing and Xia Yan rolled their eyes speechlessly upon hearing this.
If it were in the past, they might have believed what Qin Ziling said, but now he had just robbed and killed Jiang Yue a few days ago, and he actually said that his strength was relatively weak. No one would believe it!
Of course, if they say that compared with Xiao Qing, his strength is relatively weaker, Xiao Qing and Xia Yan still believe it.
After all, Xiao Qing is already a Huajin martial artist, and he has entered the strength realm using the iron plates of his arms and calves as his foundation. His strength is already comparable to that of an ordinary bone-refining martial artist.
In Fangqiao City, the only ones who could fight with her were the County Magistrate Pang Qiwei and the County Lieutenant Yu Hongshan.
In their opinion, Qin Ziling must have made careful preparations beforehand to be able to rob and kill Jiang Yue. They also but it was not that his strength was much higher than Jiang Yue's.
"Don't look at me like that. If I were really very powerful, would I still work so hard hunting for a living?" Qin Ziling shrugged.
Xiao Qing and Xia Yan moved their lips slightly, then closed them again.
They were speechless!
Yes, he had the ability to kill Jiang Yue, so why did he work so hard to hunt for a living? Moreover, in the early days, he only earned three or four taels of silver each time! Did he misunderstand him? Didn't he kill Jiang Yue? But this was too coincidental. Jiang Yue's wife and Lin Tianrui just came to report the case yesterday, and today he came to ask how to feed the phantom lizard dragon that was hatching the alien beast eggs?
"Didn't you kill Jiang Yue?" Xiao Qing finally couldn't help but make it clear, staring at Qin Ziling with burning eyes.
"Didn't you say that Xujiabao killed him?" Qin Ziling asked back.
Xiao Qing was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Yes, it was Xu Jiabao who killed him!"
After saying that, Xiao Qing raised his glass and clinked it with Qin Ziling, then personally brought him a skewer of grilled goat meat.
It was almost noon when Qin Ziling left his home in the mountains carrying a bag of feed that Xiao Qing had prepared for him.
