Chapter 67 Farming Life
Chapter 67 Farming Life
At dawn, in a medicinal herb field on Qingmu Peak, a young man could be seen working diligently.
He used the various tools provided by the sect to remove pests, water, and fertilize the spiritual plants in the medicinal field.
The water Xiao Ming used came from a spring flowing down from the top of Qingmu Peak. Although it was not as good as the water from the Spirit Eye, it still contained a trace of spiritual energy, which was helpful for the growth of spiritual plants.
As for the spiritual energy nutrients used for fertilization, there are several types, and fertilization needs to be carried out separately according to the characteristics of different spiritual plants.
After a busy morning, Xiao Ming finally finished tending to the medicinal herb field.
Back in the warehouse, Xiao Ming first categorized the various tools, and then put some of the remaining mineral sand into a storage bag.
This wasn't embezzlement; after all, Xiao Ming had exchanged these spiritual nourishments at the Hundred Herbs Hall using contribution points.
Based on the growth and yield of the medicinal plants in the field, Yuan Ziyi, as the steward, would regularly distribute contribution points to him.
With this job, it became much easier for Xiao Ming to obtain spiritual energy within the sect. After fetching several buckets of spiritual spring water, Xiao Ming returned to his residence.
After closing the doors and windows, Xiao Ming's consciousness entered the omnipotent space.
Looking at the various spiritual plants thriving in the all-powerful soil, Xiao Ming instantly felt full of energy.
He walked up to a second-stage medicinal plant, gently stroked its leaves, and immediately received feedback.
[Name]: Qingming Dan
[Growth Status]: Growing stage (98%)
[Current Status]: Water shortage! Lack of spiritual energy!
Xiao Ming skillfully spread the mineral spirit sand at the base of the spirit plant, and then brought over a bucket of spirit spring water.
Nourished by both spirit stones and spirit water, the spirit plant immediately underwent a transformation, radiating a greenish-blue light and growing an inch taller at a visible speed.
You can see that among its branches and leaves, small green buds have formed. Although they are only the size of rice grains, this indicates that the medicinal plant has grown to the third stage of fruiting.
There is still some time before the Qingming Pill spiritual plant matures, but Xiao Ming is not in a hurry. He walked to the Gathering Spirit Pill spiritual plant.
Under Xiao Ming's careful care, this spiritual plant has already entered the fourth stage of shrub growth, and is more than a meter tall, with many white medicinal herbs growing among its branches and leaves.
In terms of quality, these Spirit Gathering Pills are definitely top-grade. However, as Xiao Ming's cultivation level improved and he developed drug resistance from taking too much medicine, their effects have become less and less effective.
Xiao Ming, however, was focused on a branch that looked distinctly different. Its leaves were bluish-green, and the pills it produced were not white, but bluish-green.
【Qingmingdan】: (100% maturity)
The reason why this Qingming Pill matured so quickly was that Xiao Ming used grafting technology to graft three branches of the Qingming Pill spiritual plant onto the Juling Pill spiritual plant. In the end, two branches withered and died, but one graft was successful.
There were three pills in total. Although the number produced was less than that of the main body, the process was faster.
Moreover, the roots of fourth-stage spiritual plants are well-developed, allowing them to absorb the spiritual energy and nutrients of this space on their own. They do not require much care, and the quality of the pills they produce is higher than that of third-stage spiritual plants.
It's definitely worth the effort.
Xiao Ming picked the three pills, then took out a pair of scissors and cut off several branches of the Spirit Gathering Pill plant so that more nutrients could be supplied to the grafted branches.
After tending to these medicinal plants, Xiao Ming then went to the talismans.
Besides the earliest fire-avoiding spirit plant, the fireball spirit plant and water arrow spirit plant have already grown to the fourth stage shrub stage, and the incineration spirit plant and the burrowing spirit plant are also growing very well.
Besides the earlier planted talismanic plants, there were also several second-stage talismanic plants growing at Xiao Ming's feet.
Some of these spiritual plants had leaves that glowed with a faint light, some that crackled with lightning, and some that emitted a sharp golden aura...
These were the Shadow Talisman, Thunder Talisman, Golden Spear Talisman, and other talismans that Xiao Ming obtained in the secret realm.
Xiao Ming took out several bottles of his own concocted talisman ink and poured it onto the talisman plants to accelerate their growth.
He then cut off the branches and leaves of these spiritual plants, intending to graft them onto the spiritual plants in the fourth stage shrub stage.
After several grafting attempts, Xiao Ming also summarized some experience in grafting spiritual plants.
For example, it's best not to graft spirit plants with conflicting attributes together. For instance, Shadow Talisman and Golden Spear Talisman cannot be grafted onto Fireball Talisman spirit plants, while the lightning attribute of Thunder Talisman is more compatible with Fireball Talisman spirit plants.
Grafting between plants with compatible attributes will result in a much higher success rate and faster fruit production.
vice versa.
However, if talismanic plants are grafted onto medicinal plants, the success rate is even lower.
After tending to the talismanic plants, Xiao Ming then turned to the spiritual water plants. He planted two water plants in total: one was the Spirit Eye Water, and the other was the Spirit Foundation Elixir.
The growth requirements of the Spirit Eye Water are not high. As long as there is sufficient mineral spirit sand nutrients, it can grow normally.
After being watered with the spiritual spring water from Qingmu Peak, their growth was even better, and their yield doubled.
[Name]: Water of the Spirit Eye
[Growth Status]: Fruiting stage (100%)
[Current Status]: Can be upgraded (lacking special nutrients - Water Dragon Sand)
"I think I've heard this name in the books on spiritual plants before," Xiao Ming said, trying to recall.
In the great rivers where spiritual energy gathers, there are snakes and dragons that have nested there. This water dragon sand is the sand that the mother dragon lays in the nest after laying her eggs.
Water Dragon Sand is a rare nutrient for cultivating aquatic spiritual plants. It cannot be found in ordinary markets, but fortunately it is available in the sect. However, it is a bit expensive, costing a full 50 contribution points per pound, which is equivalent to Xiao Ming's contribution point income for a year.
It's a bit pricey, but considering how useful this Spirit Eye Water is, cultivating it to the fourth stage is totally worth it.
Besides the Spirit Eye Water Spirit Plant, the growth of the other Spirit Forging Pill Liquid Spirit Plant is a real headache.
[Name]: Spirit Building Elixir
[Growth Status]: Growing stage (3%)
[Current Status]: Water shortage! Lack of spiritual energy! Overcrowded environment!
He had been cultivating this spiritual plant for a long time. While other crops had already entered the fruiting stage, this spiritual plant had only just entered the second stage of growth. This was thanks to Xiao Ming's continuous watering with spiritual spring water during this period.
However, as the spiritual plant entered the second stage, its condition not only did not improve, but actually worsened.
The Foundation Establishment Elixir can increase the chances of Foundation Establishment, making it arguably the most precious spiritual plant in this area. As Xiao Ming's cultivation level increases, he also needs to make some preparations for Foundation Establishment in advance.
"The environment is too crowded. This is the first time I've encountered such a situation. It seems that the requirements for this spiritual plant are indeed much higher."
After glancing at the other spiritual plants around him, Xiao Ming took out a shovel, carefully dug out the spiritual plant, and transplanted it to another corner of the omnipotent land.
Xiao Ming dug a large pit in the ground, holding a handful of mineral spirit sand in his hand. After thinking for a while, he put the mineral spirit sand away and took out a bag of spirit sand, which he poured into the pit. Then, Xiao Ming took out a few spirit stones, crushed them into pieces, and buried them at the base of the spirit plant before planting the spirit plant.
Xiao Ming walked to the Spirit Eye Water plant and picked a jade bottle. As he opened the bottle, a steam containing abundant spiritual energy could be seen wafting out. The bottle was full of Spirit Eye Water.
Xiao Ming did not drink the bottle of Spirit Eye Water, but instead poured it onto the roots of the Spirit Foundation Pill plant.
As the spiritual water was poured over it, the spiritual plant began to shimmer with a faint light and sprouted several new buds at a speed visible to the naked eye. Its originally sickly state immediately transformed into a vibrant one.
"Grow up quickly," Xiao Ming said with anticipation.
After tending to all the spiritual plants in the Omnipotent Land, Xiao Ming finally left the space.
