Chapter 11

Jerry and Xiao Wu were playing in the village, and Tang San ran to the back mountain to cultivate again.

Ever since he returned home and didn't see Tang Hao, and didn't have Xiao Wu as his happy-go-lucky sister, Tang San became more silent and cultivated whenever he had free time!

Except when Jerry called him to fish, he would come out for a while; the rest of the time he was at home cultivating.

Grandpa Jack was holding a hoe, preparing to plant carrots. Over the years, the carrots Old Jack planted had become very popular in Notting City's restaurants, and the family had gradually become wealthy. The carrots harvested a few days ago were transported to Notting City and sold out on the same day. So, today, he was going to continue planting!

Jerry had said before that he didn't want Grandpa to be too tired, but unfortunately, it was useless. Tang San was also a work-study student, but he found a job at a blacksmith shop outside, and he also had a Spirit Master subsidy of one Gold Soul Coin every month.

So, speaking of which, Jerry was the poorest among them. He originally wanted to apply for a job as a chef at a restaurant, but they didn't want temporary workers, and he really couldn't do blacksmithing.

So he went to a small river outside Notting City to fish, catching two or three each time, not daring to catch too many.

This small river wasn't as good as the river behind the village mountain, and there were very few ten-year fish in it. Later, he found out that this river was near Notting City, and Spirit Masters came to clean it every once in a while to prevent spirit beasts from hurting people.

These ordinary fish had very low prices, only a few Copper Soul Coins.

Most people were used to eating spirit beast meat, and even for ten-year spirit beasts, the prices were different.

So the fish Jerry caught were just for poor people to eat, and the price wasn't high!

However, relying on these Copper Soul Coins, Jerry lived quite well at school!

Ordinary fish were indeed not as delicious as spirit beast fish. The spirit beast fish he had eaten until he vomited in the past were something he often missed while at the academy.

"Xiao Wu, let's go plant carrots together!" Jerry asked!

"Okay, okay! We'll plant lots and lots of carrots, enough to eat for a lifetime." Hearing about planting carrots, Xiao Wu was very happy.

"You just like to eat!"

"Rabbits like to eat carrots, is there a problem?"

"No problem!"

Arriving at the field, Grandpa Jack started teaching Jerry how to plant them.

"Our martial soul is a carrot. Summon the martial soul, then break the connection, and then the martial soul can be planted. Moreover, the carrots summoned by the martial soul grow very fast and are very large, better than ordinary carrots."

"Our martial soul is called a Food-type martial soul. The biggest benefit is that it can be eaten, so you won't go hungry. Other people in the village have sickle or hoe martial souls, which just makes work a bit faster, but they can't be eaten," Grandpa Jack said proudly.

Watching Grandpa Jack plant one, and after waiting for a while, start planting the next one, he hurriedly asked: "Grandpa, aren't you tired from summoning the martial soul? And isn't it true that Food-type martial souls can't be preserved for a long time?"

"Not tired. I have no spirit power, so summoning the martial soul doesn't require spirit power."

"Actually, everyone thinks that if a martial soul can be eaten, it's a Food-type martial soul. But our martial soul is a carrot, which is also a plant. Since it's a plant, of course, it can be planted."

"Can't be preserved for a long time? Never heard of it. Try taking a carrot and see; you can even let it sprout."

That's right, Jerry had fallen into a misunderstanding. Oscar's martial soul was a sausage, which was already cooked, so of course, it couldn't be preserved for a long time. His was different, and carrots were plants. He had really been misled.

"Food-type martial souls have special effects. Our carrots are just delicious, and they can keep growing as long as they are planted in the ground. Jerry, you have spirit power, so maybe the carrots you plant will be even tastier!" Grandpa Jack explained!

Hearing Grandpa's words, Jerry suddenly felt enlightened.

That's right, that's right, carrots are also plants. I had always treated it as a Food-type martial soul; it was my mistake.

Essentially, it's a Plant-type martial soul that can be eaten. My previous cultivation direction was wrong, and the teachers also treated me as a Food-type martial soul to cultivate. It was all wrong, all wrong. I understand, I understand.

Most Food-type martial souls are auxiliary, and according to the cultivation methods taught by the teachers, cultivation is also very slow.

But plants are different. Different martial souls have different cultivation methods, so my previous cultivation direction was wrong.

And Jerry knew that Plant-type martial souls could evolve. Didn't Tang San's Blue Silver Grass later evolve into the true Blue Silver Emperor?

Grandpa Jack said they could grow in the soil, which made Jerry think of martial soul growth, growth evolution, or accelerated cultivation?

Thinking of this, Jerry didn't want to think anymore. Why not try it and see?

He hurriedly summoned his martial soul without breaking the connection, because after breaking the connection, it could be given to others to eat. Grandpa Jack really wanted to plant them, but he didn't. Let's try planting it in the soil and see what happens to cultivation?

Then he planted his martial soul in the soil and sat beside it to meditate.

He suddenly discovered that the martial soul was now absorbing two strands of spirit power: one from the air and one from underground!

And the spirit power from underground was even more.

"Hahaha, hahaha," Jerry suddenly laughed out loud.

Xiao Wu and Grandpa Jack beside him hurriedly asked what was wrong?

"Grandpa, Xiao Wu, I've found my own cultivation method. My martial soul can absorb spirit power from underground, which is more than from the air," Jerry said happily.

Xiao Wu was also very happy to hear this: "Brother, really? Is it that magical?"

"Yes, really, really. Most of the nutrients absorbed by the plant itself come from the roots, and some plants have roots larger than the branches above. And the carrot is both a root and a fruit."

"Most people treat it as a fruit that can be eaten, but ignore that it's also a root."

"The characteristic of a root is to absorb nutrients from the soil. When we cultivate, the roots are exposed to the air, so basically, it's considered not absorbing spirit power."

"But now, by planting the carrot in the soil, the role of the root is fully utilized."

"Brother, you know so much. You're too amazing!" Xiao Wu said happily.

Only then was Jerry very happy, happy like a real child. The big stone that had been pressing on his heart was finally gone.

I'm really stupid. As a modern person who took biology classes, plant growth requires soil, sunlight, and water.

Soil is everywhere, sunlight is not lacking, and water goes without saying.

And Jerry had planted flowers before, improving the soil's nutrition, and the plants grew better.

There is no fertilizer in this world, but Jerry can make some simple fertilizers himself. Many fertilizers are common things around him.

In this way, can I cultivate faster? It's a bit like martial soul mimicry cultivation. I originally thought I could only enjoy it after getting into an advanced academy, but I didn't expect to be able to do it now. The environment for plant growth is too easy to set up!
