Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Dasha, the hottest day of the year.

The sun was like a dam with its gates opened, pouring out intense light.

All plants, whether flowers, grass, or trees, were wilted.

Spirit rice, four-leaf clover, watermelon, and Chinese cabbage were all dried out by the sun.

Only the mutant spirit rice at the foot of Stone Mountain remained unchanged.

It was unknown whether it was stronger in every aspect or because it was not exposed to direct sunlight.

Fortunately, Xu Zhangqing had made an appointment with Bai Ling'er long ago.

On the day of Dasha, she would come to cast spirit rain on his field.

To prevent her from forgetting, he had specially used a communication talisman to remind her in the morning.

Now, Bai Ling'er was hurrying toward the spirit field.

"After Dasha passes, it counts as entering the countdown to the second quarter; it won't be long before we can harvest." Xu Zhangqing stood on the spirit field ridge wearing a conical hat, observing the condition of the spirit plants.

Normally, even if he hadn't been so serious in the previous few days.

But during the solar terms, he still had to pay more attention.

Not long after, a paper crane flew from afar, with a person standing on it.

No need to guess to know.

In such a remote region, only Bai Ling'er would come.

"Bai Dao Friend," Xu Zhangqing said with a smile.

Bai Ling'er said in surprise: "Xu Dao Friend, it's so hot, are you still waiting for me outside?"

Xu Zhangqing shrugged: "Not only waiting for you, after all, this is my first time experiencing Dasha, so I dare not be careless; I must observe the condition of the spirit plants at all times to prevent accidents."

Bai Ling'er nodded slightly to show understanding, then jumped down from the flying paper crane: "Then I won't waste words; after I'm done on your side, I still have to hurry back."

Then, she directly cast 【Small Cloud Rain Art】.

But compared to before, the efficiency was a bit worse this time.

The speed at which water spirit qi gathered became slower than usual.

Especially at the edges, it was almost instantly evaporated by the intense sunlight.

Fortunately, after several adjustments.

Finally, a mass of slightly black cloud qi gathered.

Soon the sound of "patter patter" rain rang out.

The temperature near the spirit field dropped.

A long-missed cool breath instantly spread.

Xu Zhangqing felt the refreshing comfort of being thirsty for several days and suddenly drinking cold water; he hurriedly approached Bai Ling'er and then asked, finding something to say: "In such a hurry to go back, is there something at home?"

Bai Ling'er replied after hearing this: "There is still more than a year until the 【Formal Disciple Grand Competition】; formal disciples from Water Pavilion, Weapon Forging Peak, Pill Refining Pavilion, Spirit Field, Spiritual Vein, Ling Beast Valley, Sorrowful Wind Cliff, Thunder Forest, and other places who are out doing tasks are all hurrying back.

Therefore, my father ordered me to draw more spirit talismans to sell at a good price then."

"Isn't there still more than a year?" Xu Zhangqing said in astonishment.

Because he did not plan to participate in the 【Formal Disciple Grand Competition】, he could not understand.

Bai Ling'er chuckled: "Those formal disciples who have been out for a long time definitely have a large amount of spirit stones and rare items in their storage bags.

Since they want to participate in the 【Formal Disciple Grand Competition】, they definitely need to improve their strength.

Especially that batch from Qi Refining Late Stage to Foundation Establishment Early Stage, they have more demand for resources."

Xu Zhangqing was not stupid; he understood what she meant as soon as he heard it.

However, this also reminded him.

He happened to have more than two thousand jin of second-grade spirit rice in hand.

He would harvest another batch from the spirit field later, at least another two thousand jin.

If it was really as Bai Ling'er said, these people would definitely need it.

Although, an individual could not compare with a huge entity like 【Nongxin Society】.

It was even more impossible to compete for the market.

But if he couldn't eat meat, at least he could drink some meat soup, right?

Moreover, Xu Zhangqing still had the trump card of 【Spirit Rice Wine】.

Anyone who had drunk it had nothing bad to say.

After a while, the Small Cloud Rain Art ended.

Bai Ling'er jumped onto the flying paper crane and then said: "According to the agreement, I have completed the third rainfall; if there is a need after this, we will have to make a new agreement."

"Right." Xu Zhangqing nodded.

Bai Ling'er smiled slightly: "Then I'll go back first."

Xu Zhangqing waved his hand: "Goodbye."

Then, Bai Ling'er controlled the flying paper crane toward 【Water Pavilion】.

Xu Zhangqing watched the other's gradually blurring back and couldn't help but ponder: "As more formal disciples return, Hongfeng Valley Market will definitely open early.

By then, if I don't sell spirit rice, just the second-grade spirit rice wine alone can earn a large amount of spirit stones, and even exchange for various rare items."

After thinking it over, he turned his attention back to the Spirit Field.

Sure enough, after the Spirit Rain, these spirit plants became plump again.

The only pity was that not a single one had mutated.

The only difference from usual was that the yield was greater.

In the days that followed.

Xu Zhangqing brewed Second-grade Spirit Rice Wine.

While waiting for the harvest.

As for Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue going to Black Dragon Pool, he put it out of his mind.

After all, this had nothing to do with him anymore.

Whatever the final result, Hu Bugui would bear it personally.

……

Time flew by, and the day of harvest finally arrived.

Looking at the plump spirit rice grains in the Spirit Field.

Xu Zhangqing inexplicably felt the satisfaction of "having a child in old age."

Immediately, he circulated Chang Qing Jue to sense them.

【Mature】

【Spirit Qi Sufficient】

【No Loss】

【Second-grade Spirit Rice】

【Top-grade Today】

【Yield 4000 Jin】

"Hiss." Xu Zhangqing sucked in a breath of cold air.

From 【3500】in spring to 【4000】in summer.

It seemed the span was only five hundred Jin.

In reality, this meant the yield of "Extreme-grade Spirit Rice" had reached its limit.

If it were to increase further, Mutant Spirit Rice would have to be added.

Or increase the Spirit Field, from one mu to two mu.

Pity, Xu Zhangqing had not reached Foundation Establishment Stage.

What's more, even if he met the requirements, he wouldn't say it.

At least keep a low profile for a few years, and be on the same level as most people first.

In fact, ordinary spirit farmers didn't have this kind of trouble.

Even upon reaching Foundation Establishment Stage, the yield of one mu of Spirit Field was around two thousand to three thousand.

Someone like Xu Zhangqing, who had reached the limit after joining for less than a year, hardly existed.

This was perhaps what it meant to find happiness in pain.

Next, Xu Zhangqing picked up the Daily Spirit Tool【Sickle】and began harvesting.

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

After a bout of hard work, the spirit rice was finally harvested.

Plus these【4000 Jin】of Second-grade Spirit Rice.

He now had a total of 6240 Jin in hand.

However, considering he had to give Hu Bugui 150 Jin.

And hand over 1500 Jin.

And use some to brew Spirit Rice Wine.

The actual amount of spirit rice in hand was【4390 Jin】.

However, Xu Zhangqing was not in a hurry to check the Attribute Panel.

Instead, he harvested the Four-leaf Clover, Large Watermelon, and Large Cabbage together.

【Harvested 1 "Four-leaf Clover", Lifespan +5 days】

【Harvested 1 "Premium Large Cabbage", Lifespan +3 days】

【Harvested 1 "Premium Large Watermelon", Lifespan +3 days】

Time came to evening.

As the sun set in the west, the light grew darker and darker.

The scorching heat finally came to a sudden stop.

Xu Zhangqing also harvested all the spirit plants in the Spirit Field cleanly.

Then he looked at the long-unseen Attribute Panel.
