Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Daytime, the sun was at its height.

Xu Zhangqing's left hand formed the Green Finger technique, his right hand held a sharp sickle.

Harvested "Extreme-grade Spirit Rice" 1 stalk, Lifespan +6 days

Harvested "Top-grade Cabbage" 1 head, Lifespan +5 days

Harvested "Top-grade Watermelon" 1 fruit, Lifespan +5 days

When the First Mu Spirit Field harvest was complete, cumulative Lifespan increased by 13516 days.

Everything was so smooth, as if he had performed it hundreds or thousands of times before.

Pity, the spirit plants in the First Mu Spirit Field were without exception, not a single stalk mutated.

Xu Zhangqing stepped onto the Spirit Field Ridge, his gaze turning toward the Second Mu Spirit Field.

Because there was a Spiritual Array, from the Outside one could only see dense Golden Crow Vines.

As for the Inside, naturally there were over a thousand stalks of Mutant Spirit Rice planted.

Even Yu Caiqing, who often came here to stay overnight, hadn't noticed this.

As for the Four Mu Spirit Field, Xu Zhangqing arranged it like this.

The First Mu, equivalent to breaking even, only planted Spirit Rice and vegetables.

The Second Mu, a ring of Golden Crow Vines on the Outside, Mutant Rice on the Inside.

The Third Mu, planted Yang-attribute Medicinal Herbs, Chi Yang Shen and Chi Jin Lei Mai Cao.

The Fourth Mu had two kinds, belonging to the mutually complementary Guan Ri Zhi and Warm Yang Gu.

Currently, because there was always someone at home, he didn't use the Green Lotus Domain to forcibly accelerate growth.

Plus he had to handle matters at the Ling Tian Periphery, therefore the first quarter belonged to a Normal cultivation cycle.

The Mutant Rice was already mature, this was obvious.

As for Chi Yang Shen and Chi Jin Lei Mai Cao, they were slightly different.

Chi Yang Shen hadn't reached the time yet, therefore it was Not Yet mature.

But Chi Jin Lei Mai Cao, following that day of Jingzhe when a clap of thunder sounded, its maturation speed became faster and faster.

Unknown if it was coincidence or some reason, it just happened to mature on the same day as the Extreme-grade Spirit Rice.

Guan Ri Zhi and Warm Yang Gu, these two still lacked a bit, they'd have to wait until Lixia to harvest.

Xu Zhangqing's main source of profit this time, only the First Mu, Second Mu, and half the Third Mu.

Immediately, he headed toward the Second Grade Spirit Field where Mutant Rice was planted in the Second Mu.

Lin An had been busy this period, rarely returning.

Yu Caiqing wasn't home during the day, only Appearing at night.

At this time point, those who could accompany the Protagonist were only Wangwang, the Pearl Chicken, Fortress, and Yang Shu.

And among these three fellows, none could Open mouth to speak.

Either they "Woof woof" barked.

Or they "Cluck cluck da".

Or they "Understood tacitly".

Although Fortress could speak human language, his Way of thinking was extremely rigid.

Basically, he could only understand simple commands; anything slightly complex was impossible.

Soon, Xu Zhangqing arrived at the Second Mu Spirit Field; because he was the Spiritual Array's Holder, he wouldn't receive any obstruction or deception.

He entered quickly, and Immediately smelled the extremely rich fragrance of rice.

Every single stalk of Mutant Child Rice flowed with golden light, looking extraordinary in bearing.

As for the Mutant Mother Rice in the very center.

Perhaps due to long exposure to Sunlight, it had Swollen considerably compared to when in the Mountain Cave, nearly three meters tall, heavy rice ears like extending tree branches, appearing "lush and leafy".

Overall it was like Glazed glass, emitting a Flowing golden luster.

In Short, the more he looked, the more extraordinary it seemed.

Xu Zhangqing took a deep breath, carefully savoring the alluring Smell emitted by the Mutant Rice, and laughed lightly: "You are my Biggest Hidden Card!"

Then, he Cast the Green Finger technique with one hand while swinging the sickle with the other.

Harvested "Mutant Child Rice" 1 stalk, Lifespan +10 days

Harvested "Mutant Child Rice" 500 stalks, Lifespan +5000 days

Harvested "Mutant Child Rice" 1079 stalks, Lifespan +10790 days

Suddenly, a "Ding" sound abruptly rang out.

The last stalk of Mutant Child Rice actually produced a mutation again.

Xu Zhangqing was overjoyed to tears; this period the Green Finger technique had kept trying and kept Failing, never Succeeding once, he thought his luck had run out.

At this moment, the last stalk of Mutant Child Rice's Shape and luster were both changing.

Gradually transforming from golden yellow to brownish yellow.

At the Same Time, it emitted a rather dense Earth Spirit Qi.

Xu Zhangqing was Surprised: "Even the attribute changed?"

Immediately, he swept it with his divine sense.

Earth-Corroding Brown Awn Mutant Rice

Negative Effect 1: The rice grains contain corrosive miasma; after consumption, they will interfere with the meridians of a cultivator.

Special Effect 1: Produces a qi rotation; within the domain, the growth speed of earth-attribute spirit plants increases by 50%.

One negative effect.

One special effect.

This... is actually a spirit plant that failed to mutate.

Xu Zhangqing originally wore a look of disdain, but his heart stirred, and he looked at the Earth Fruit in the corner: "This thing just happens to take ten years to root and sprout, ten years to flower and bear fruit; if aided by this spirit rice that failed to mutate, wouldn't it just make a pair?"

Thinking of this, he did not use the sickle to harvest it.

Instead, he wrapped it with dense Wood Spirit Power, then dug aside the Black Soil below, excavated the root system within, and after everything was ready, transplanted it beside the Earth Fruit.

Thus, the Earth Fruit, which originally "lived alone," had a neighbor for the first time.

Xu Zhangqing loosened the earth and irrigated it with Ruquan Shui; after finishing, he patted the rice ears of the Earth-Corroding Brown Awn Mutant Rice and instructed: "From now on, you will take care of it."

At this moment, a breeze just happened to blow, and the Earth-Corroding Brown Awn Mutant Rice in front swayed slightly.

At first glance, it seemed to understand human speech, nodding slightly.

Afterward, Xu Zhangqing harvested all the Golden Crow Vines around him together.

Harvested "Extreme Golden Wu Vine" 1 root, Lifespan +7 days

Harvested "Extreme Golden Wu Vine" 100 roots, Lifespan +700 days

Cumulatively increased 700 days of lifespan.

Now, only Ling Field Third Mu remains unharvested.

Chi Jin Lei Mai Cao, its entire body glowing with flowing red-gold luster.

Fine, dense thorns grow along the edges of the leaves, like sharpened blades.

Dark purple patterns cover the surface of the stem, as if lightning wanders; with fluctuations of Spiritual Energy, fine electric arcs occasionally burst forth, emitting "crackling" sounds.

Because of the Lei Zhu Mu, when Xu Zhangqing stepped into Ling Field Third Mu, he instinctively felt a trace of resistance, even fear, for the first time.

The harvesting method for this spirit plant is somewhat troublesome.

Xu Zhangqing circulated the Wood Spirit Entangling Art, the Mu Ling Yin appeared on the back of his hand, then he stimulated the grass seeds stored inside for a long time, quickly turning them into Black Iron Vines.

Then, by means of conduction through iron, he consumed the Thunder Power within the Chi Jin Lei Mai Cao bit by bit.

Fortunately, this was only a grass, unable to store too much energy inside.

Basically, one Black Iron Vine led one Chi Jin Lei Mai Cao.

He delayed a bit of time here.

Until half an hour later, he finally began harvesting.

Harvested "Extreme Red Gold Thunder Marrow Grass" 1 root, Lifespan +8 days

Harvested "Extreme Red Gold Thunder Marrow Grass" 2666 roots, Lifespan +21328 days

This harvest, total new lifespan +46334 days.

Now, remaining lifespan has reached: 656 years.

The time was just right at noon; he could cook.

Returning to the Spirit Field Ridge, Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but stretch: "Finally finished, what should we eat for lunch today?"

Scrambled eggs with sesame oil?

Spicy stir-fried cabbage?

Oh, let's just make both!
