Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

In the blink of an eye, the day to collect the summer seedlings arrived.

He let the little yellow dog watch the house properly.

Xu Zhangqing arrived at the Core Management Office early in the morning.

Quite a few spirit farmers were already lining up.

Not long after, Xu Zhangqing received the rice seedlings for summer planting.

But he did not leave; instead, he went toward Hua Lao.

"Coming." After many contacts, Hua Lao was very familiar with this young man.

A spirit farmer with such talent was not common even in the entire Spirit Field Core.

Xu Zhangqing respectfully cupped his hands and bowed: "Manager."

Hua Lao asked: "Something to consult?"

Xu Zhangqing smiled slightly: "Disciple has already entered Qi Refining Middle Stage, and wants to ask you what new spirit plants can be chosen."

"I see." Hua Lao suddenly understood upon hearing this.

Arrived last winter, reached Qi Refining Middle Stage this summer.

The speed is not fast, but counts as average level.

In Qi Refining Early Stage, there is only one type of spirit plant that can be chosen: spirit rice.

But upon reaching Qi Refining Middle Stage, the choices number over a dozen, much richer.

Soon, under Hua Lao's introduction,

Xu Zhangqing finally understood what spirit plants could be chosen at Qi Refining Middle Stage.

Put simply, they fall into four major categories:

"Flowers"

"Grasses"

"Trees"

"Vegetables"

Apart from the most common spirit rice, the choices now are indeed more numerous.

However, those suitable for Xu Zhangqing are not many.

After all, different spirit plants have different growing environments.

Hua Lao reminded: "Spirit plants of the Qi Refining Stage are basically all related to eating.

Only upon reaching Foundation Establishment will there be spirit plants of higher quality and greater value."

Xu Zhangqing thought it over and over, and finally made a decision.

They are:

"Four-leaf Clover"

"Watermelon"

"Chinese Cabbage"

Choosing Four-leaf Clover mainly because he is familiar with it and has some experience.

Moreover, this thing is one of the foods of small spirit beasts.

Just right to sell to Hu Bugui.

As for Watermelon and Chinese Cabbage, it is because he is greedy for a change of taste.

Spirit rice is good, but he cannot eat only this, can he?

The seeds of the three spirit plants cost thirty points in total.

500 minus 30, now 470 remain.

……

Back home, it was still early.

Xu Zhangqing was not in a hurry to plant.

First he had a cup of Second-grade Spirit Rice Wine, entering a slightly drunk state.

Then he took out the Fragmented Edition of the high-rank spell Iron Wood Armor Technique and began to study it deeply.

Now, with the boost of Second-grade Spirit Rice Wine, he would completely master it within a month.

Until noon, when the drunkenness gradually faded, Xu Zhangqing stopped.

Then cooking, washing dishes, feeding the dog.

After everything was handled, he finally began planting.

But the whole process was very simple and quick.

First wrapping spirit rice seeds with spiritual power from within his body, he casually threw them out.

Then using Wood Spirit Entangling Art (Third Layer) to control the seeds to burrow into the soil.

All done in minutes, not at all time-consuming or laborious.

This time was actually similar to spring.

Spirit rice was still the most, after all yield comes first.

The four-leaf clovers were planted beside the water channel dug in advance.

The watermelons and Chinese cabbages were planted more casually.

Plant wherever there is space; it doesn't matter if there isn't.

After all, there is still room under Stone Mountain on the left side.

Everything was settled, and only the time of an incense stick had passed.

Xu Zhangqing took Bai Ling'er's communication talisman out of his small storage bag and then infused a strand of spiritual power into it.

"Who?"

"Me, Xu Zhangqing!"

"Sorry, I forgot!"

"It's just especially remote, with no one around."

"Now that you put it that way, I remember, it's you!"

"I want to make an appointment with you; do you have time?"

"Of course!"

"When are you coming?"

"Hmm... is tomorrow noon okay?"

"Okay."

Communication ended.

Xu Zhangqing put away the communication talisman.

He planned to have Bai Ling'er come more times, after all, summer temperatures are high.

Moreover, what was planted this time was not only spirit rice.

There were also four-leaf clovers, watermelons, and Chinese cabbages.

To ensure yield, spirit rain must be cast several more times.

Now the seeds have already been sown.

Only Hu Bugui's feces remain.

Bai Ling'er's spirit rain.

Next, Xu Zhangqing immersed himself in study again.

Time came to the second day.

At noon, Bai Ling'er indeed arrived.

Because the other party was a child, the two did not exchange much.

After Bai Ling'er cast Small Cloud Rain Art,

Xu Zhangqing immediately took out twenty low-grade spirit stones and handed them over.

Bai Ling'er took them and then asked with a smiling face: "Want to book a few more times?"

Xu Zhangqing had long decided, raising two fingers of his right hand to indicate: "At least twice."

Bai Ling'er blinked her eyes: "You have to pay a deposit first, then we'll set the time."

Once summer arrives, Water Spirit Root Disciples are very busy.

Because the demand from spirit farmers is great, rain must be cast everywhere.

If times are not agreed upon, conflicts with others easily occur.

Xu Zhangqing thought carefully: "You come once each at Grain in Ear and Dasha."

"Okay." Bai Ling'er nodded.

Afterwards, Xu Zhangqing took out another forty low-grade spirit stones and handed them over.

If it were before, he would definitely feel the pinch.

Now it's fine, after all five middle-grade spirit stones equal five hundred low-grade spirit stones.

In the Qi Refining Stage, this is also considered a huge sum.

Bai Ling'er held them with both hands, her eyes shining: "So many!"

Ding ling ling!

At this time, camel bell sounds came from not far away.

Xu Zhangqing knew without looking that it must be Hu Bugui coming.

After all, in such a remote place, only he is willing to come.

"So stinky!" Bai Ling'er smelled the odor in the air, her face instantly full of disdain.

"Go back." Xu Zhangqing, seeing this, laughed helplessly.

Before Hu Bugui could approach,

Bai Ling'er stepped on her flying paper crane and turned to run.

Not giving the other party any time to pollute the air.

"Who is it?" Hu Bugui looked at the figure hurrying away: "Flying so fast."

Xu Zhangqing shrugged: "The Water Spirit Root girl who helps me cast rain, you stank her away."

"Uh." Hu Bugui was extremely embarrassed.

However, this kind of thing is commonplace.

Therefore, although he felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart, he did not mind it.

From the moment he chose to sell spirit beast feces, face and such were long thrown away.

Xu Zhangqing greeted: "Don't just stand there, unload the feces."

Hu Bugui said irritably, "I came all this way, can't I rest a bit?"

Xu Zhangqing smiled. "Then I'll do it myself."

Hu Bugui froze for a moment, then shook his head. "Let's do it together."

Soon, the two unloaded part of the Hundred-Year Spirit Beast Manure from the camel.

This was enough for Xu Zhangqing to cover the entire Second Grade Spirit Field.

After it was done, Hu Bugui finally sat down to rest.

Xu Zhangqing brought out a bowl of the brewed Second-grade Spirit Rice Wine from inside the house, then handed it to him and said, "Have a taste."

"Smells so good." Hu Bugui took it in surprise.

Just a shallow sip, and his eyes widened.

He knew the other party could brew wine.

But he didn't expect the technique to be this good, the quality this high.

He immediately drained the bowl of Second-grade Spirit Rice Wine in one gulp.

Then he narrowed his eyes, a look of intoxication on his face.

After sitting down, Xu Zhangqing said, "If you like drinking it, take a jin when you leave."

"Really?" Hu Bugui immediately opened his eyes, revealing an extremely longing look.

Xu Zhangqing nodded. "Why would I lie to you, we're friends."

Hu Bugui's eyes brightened. "Right, we're friends."

Xu Zhangqing then took out the Small Storage Bag, pulling out Spirit Rice while saying, "According to our previous agreement, you can take one-tenth of my spring season total yield.

Minus the 1000 jin submitted, 1100 hundred jin remain.

One-tenth is 110 jin of Second-grade Spirit Rice."

Adding the previous remainder, accumulated to 【2290 jin】.

This is giving wine, and fulfilling the agreement.

Especially the Spirit Rice actually reaches top-grade quality, far surpassing expectations.

It moved Hu Bugui deeply; after putting the top-grade Spirit Rice into his Storage Bag, he decisively took out a Spirit Beast Ring, then introduced it: "Inside is a Spirit Beast, called Pearl Mother Hen, it lays one egg containing a trace of Spiritual Energy every three days!"
