Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

However, Xu Zhangqing was speaking the truth.

During this period, Hu Bugui had been using the money he earned at Zhuqi Peak to continuously purchase Spirit Land and raise more Spirit Beasts, so in terms of manure, there definitely wouldn't be a problem.

The one who actually needed the most worry was Zhao Ziyue.

From Two Mu of Spirit Fields, it had suddenly increased to Four Mu.

On the surface, the workload merely doubled.

But in reality, for the Water Spirit Power in the Qi Sea, as well as one's personal energy, there would be a significant degree of consumption; it was by no means something that could be easily settled.

It could be called a not-small challenge.

Zhao Ziyue's gaze swept from right to left, glancing over all the Spirit Fields, then he pondered: "Two to three Mu of Spirit Fields a day is about my limit."

Hu Bugui said in surprise: "Then can't you just do it over two days?"

Zhao Ziyue glanced at Xu Zhangqing and shook his head: "This isn't a matter of whether to split it up or not; if I split it into two days, then Lao Xu would have to wait two days."

If it were summer, autumn, or winter, it would be fine.

But it just so happens that this is the spring season, the most important time of the year for a Wood Spirit Root.

If all Four Mu of Spirit Fields are planted full of Spirit Plants, the Wood Spirit Qi produced will be exceptionally dense.

Xu Zhangqing's cultivation speed and efficiency would both be faster; this is a critical stage for increasing strength.

Although Spirit Farmers don't need to fight and kill.

But the higher the realm, the more Spirit Fields one has, and the more Rare Spirit Plants one can cultivate.

Hu Bugui suddenly realized: "You mean we need to find another Water Spirit Root?"

Zhao Ziyue nodded slightly: "I suggest finding another one, so that all Four Mu of Spirit Fields can be irrigated at the same time, but the final decision still depends on Lao Xu."

Xu Zhangqing thought for a moment and said: "I understand Lao Zhao's meaning; then let's find another one."

Immediately, he took out a Communication Talisman.

Actually, there were two Water Spirit Roots to choose from.

One was Bai Ling'er.

One was Zhang Xue.

But Xu Zhangqing had no hesitation whatsoever, or rather, no point of struggle.

He subconsciously chose Bai Ling'er.

After all, last time with the Basic Runes matter, she helped a great deal.

As for Zhang Xue, the relationship between the two was a bit awkward.

To avoid causing misunderstanding, it was better not to look for her.

As Wood Spirit Power was injected into the Communication Talisman, the other side connected quickly.

"Hello?"

"It's me, Xu Zhangqing!"

"Ah! Why are you looking for me so early in the morning?"

"I need someone to cast the Small Cloud Rain Technique on my end; are you free?"

"If you're looking for me, then I'm definitely free!"

Soon, Xu Zhangqing and Bai Ling'er agreed on a time.

By noon, she rushed over from the Rain Water Pavilion.

Seeing an additional Water Spirit Root, Zhao Ziyue immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "To tell the truth, Lao Xu's current growth is crucial to us; it cannot tolerate the slightest negligence."

Hu Bugui and Lin An, hearing this, nodded in deep agreement.

Now, everyone has boarded Xu Zhangqing's boat.

The steadier the boat, the greater the storms it can withstand.

The larger the boat, the more resources it can carry.

Whether it is Zhao Ziyue, Hu Bugui, or even Lin An.

They are replaceable parts; swapping in someone else would work just the same.

But conversely, the three of them cannot do without Xu Zhangqing; they fundamentally dare not get off the boat.

If they left.

Where would they get Top-grade Spirit Rice?

Where would they get Rare Spirit Plants?

A stable, high-yield Spirit Farmer is more important than anything!

Therefore, Xu Zhangqing has already become these few people's greatest confidence.

Next, Hu Bugui began unloading manure.

In the past, when he hadn't struck it rich, he used Spirit Beast Camels to transport it.

But now, with the Spirit Stones earned increasing more and more, he had long since switched to Storage Bags.

Not only is it convenient, but the quantity is also greater.

As for Zhao Ziyue, he began casting the Small Cloud Rain Technique on the First Mu of Spirit Field.

At this time, Lin An spoke up: "Senior Brother Xu, I see that in the Second Mu and Third Mu of Spirit Fields, there seem to be some Spirit Plants that haven't been harvested yet?"

Xu Zhangqing explained: "In Ling Field Second Mu, there's an unharvested spirit plant called Green Gourd; it doesn't need to be cut down completely."

"When the time comes, the gourds will grow back. Since it's a rare spirit plant, you must treat it carefully from now on."

Lin An suddenly understood: "Alright, I remember."

Xu Zhangqing then pointed to Ling Field Third Mu and reminded: "This one mu of spirit field was specially prepared for Fish Elder Sister."

"It's mainly used to cultivate various medicinal herbs she needs for pill refining. Outside, the Golden Crow Vine likewise doesn't need to be completely harvested; inside, it's still uncertain."

Lin An nodded, silently memorizing the information.

Later, if Xu Zhangqing had no time to manage it, he would definitely have to take action himself.

Now that he understood clearly, he wouldn't need to ask again in the future.

Taking advantage of the time while the two outside were busy, Xu Zhangqing continued instructing Lin An: "I'll go make lunch. If they have any requests, handle them yourself if you can; if you can't, come notify me."

"Alright." Lin An quickly responded.

Actually, it was still early, only ten o'clock in the morning.

It's just that, considering there were quite a few people eating this time, especially Bai Ling'er.

Therefore, no matter what, Xu Zhangqing had to make the meal more abundant.

Most importantly, he wanted to continue improving his skill in Lingfan.

He always felt Lingfan was just as important as pill refining and artifact refining, and indispensable in the future.

It's just that Lingfan, like spiritual runes and pill refining, had still not been certified by the system until now.

He didn't know whether it failed to meet the requirements or something wasn't up to par.

Otherwise, he could directly use lifespan to reach full level.

Fortunately, as the number of times increased, he became increasingly proficient in all aspects.

As time passed, Hu Bugui brought quite a few good things over; obviously, he was also craving food.

As time went by, Xu Zhangqing made a total of six dishes.

Ling Rice Braised Chicken Pot

Ingredients: Ling Rice, Ling Chicken, chestnuts, Ling Mushroom

Effect: Warmth and nourishment, quickly dispels cold Qi, enhances Qi Blood

Ling Rice Fish Meat Steamed Dumplings

Ingredients: Ling Rice flour, Jin Carp meat, Top-grade Cabbage, dried shrimp skin

Effect: Nourishes the lungs and viscera, resists dryness

Braised Spirit Spring Water Big Fish Head

Main ingredients: Spirit Spring Water's fathead fish, Top Grade Chili Pepper, Top Grade Potato, Top Grade Carrot.

Effect: Dispels cold, supplements trace Spiritual Energy

Five Elements Ling Vegetable Sour Spicy Soup

Cold Mixed Frost-Struck Top-grade Cabbage

Fire Roasted Sweet Potato

These won't be described one by one, to avoid accusations of padding word count.

Compared to ordinary meals, Lingfan more or less possesses some special effects.

That is to say, eating them brings certain benefits to the body.

According to the information Xu Zhangqing had learned, it was said that a skilled Ling Chef, even a casually made meal, would be worth over ten thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Not only rich in nutrition, but the effects are also astonishing.

Low Realm cultivators who eat them are extremely likely to break through their realm on the spot.

Therefore, Xu Zhangqing's current goal was to develop toward becoming a Ling Chef.

Striving for one day in the future, while eating, to suddenly Ascend.

When noon came, Bai Ling'er arrived at the Spirit Field riding a Flying Paper Crane.

Zhao Ziyue had already cast the Small Cloud Rain Technique on the three mu of Spirit Field.

Therefore, Bai Ling'er only needed to irrigate the last Ling Field Fourth Mu next.

It's just that she arrived at just the right time.

Therefore, the first thing was not to cast the Small Cloud Rain Technique, but... to eat!
