Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Watching the time arrive at the second day.

The more Hu Man waited on the other side, the more anxious he grew.

From the first day of injecting attribute spiritual power, it could not be interrupted thereafter.

He originally thought Xu Zhangqing would surrender, but unexpectedly he never spoke another word.

In the end, Hu Man could only compromise.

He revised the remuneration anew.

He had no choice but to change (Points 1 day +10) to (Points 1 day +100).

Then the spirit stones were changed from (Remuneration 1 day +10 pieces low-grade spirit stone) to (Remuneration 1 day +1 piece middle-grade spirit stone).

He had already made up his mind.

Once the cooperation ended, he would never seek out this spirit farmer for help again.

After receiving the other party's confirmation.

Xu Zhangqing's first matter was to go to the Spirit Field Core Management Office.

First report the task modification situation to the staff inside.

After confirming no problem, only then did he step on the flying paper crane and fly toward the Spiritual Vein.

With last time's experience, this time whether speed or efficiency were both faster.

In less than one hour, he arrived again at Hu Man's cave abode on the Spiritual Vein 18th Layer.

Compared to yesterday, the Earth Surge Lotus's color had faded considerably.

However, it still maintained the form of the Wood Attribute "Green Lotus".

Xu Zhangqing did not delay, decisively sitting cross-legged.

The Wood Spirit Power within his body slowly poured into it.

Instantly, the originally faded Earth Surge Lotus brightened once more.

In a clockwise rotating manner, it turned silently.

The speed was not fast, roughly one circle every ten seconds or so.

With each rotation, the lotus leaves and lotus flower above became even clearer.

And this time, it felt a bit larger than yesterday, as if growing.

Just like this, days passed one by one.

Xu Zhangqing would enter the Spiritual Vein every day, then irrigate the Earth Surge Lotus.

At first Shan Fei would still follow along, but in the end he simply didn't even glance at it.

Until the seventh day, which was also the final irrigation.

Xu Zhangqing circulated the Changqing Jue.

Wood Attribute Spirit Power within his body continuously poured into the Green Lotus that was like a physical entity.

It rotated clockwise while releasing a faint fragrance.

Under seven consecutive days of irrigation, it had already completely transformed from a gaseous state into a physical entity.

Right when the final irrigation was ending, Xu Zhangqing's right hand trembled.

The Spirit Seal originally born from cultivating the Wood Spirit Entanglement Art.

Without being activated, automatically emerged.

The "Wood" character emitted green light.

Inexplicably resonating with the Green Lotus ahead.

Light flickered repeatedly.

Then, the spiritual power within Xu Zhangqing's body began to be continuously consumed.

In the span of a few breaths, one strand was lost.

If not for reaching Qi Refining Late Stage, having five strands of spiritual power within his body.

And the Changqing Jue cultivated to the Fifth Layer, recovery speed increased.

He fundamentally could not have sustained this kind of consumption.

As the spiritual power within his body was absorbed by the Green Lotus, one strand after another.

Watching as only the last strand remained.

Finally, the absorption came to an abrupt halt.

At the same time, the lotus flower's pistil trembled lightly, unexpectedly growing a lotus pod.

Then with a "pop", a green lotus seed fell out.

Shape oval, both ends pointed.

The surface had extremely fine patterns.

Don't look at its small size, yet it contained extremely rich Wood Spiritual Energy.

The Wood Character Seal's light flashed, directly absorbing this green lotus seed.

"What situation?" Xu Zhangqing was stunned.

Hu Man never said there would be this kind of change.

Or does this fall outside expectations?

His heart stirred.

The green lotus seed stored in the Spirit Seal appeared in his palm.

After a round of sensing, information emerged.

【Spirit Qi Sufficient】

【Top-grade Seed】

【Awaiting Maturity】

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow.

This was the first time he had seen the words 【Top-grade】 on a seed.

Indicating this thing was not simple.

He looked at the green lotus again; overall there was not much change.

After dropping a lotus seed, the lotus pod transformed into gas and dissipated.

But the flower pistil remained, only smaller than before.

It looked like the green lotus was still that same green lotus.

After a moment of thought, Xu Zhangqing stored this green lotus seed back into the 【Wood】 Spirit Seal.

Then he turned and walked out of the Cave Abode.

If Hu Man did not ask, he would absolutely not hand it over voluntarily.

After all, this thing looked extremely rare at a glance, its value likely considerable.

Immediately after, he left the Spiritual Vein, the Kengdong.

He returned to the Spirit Field at the fastest speed.

Not until he saw his home, saw the yellow dog and the pearl chickens, did he breathe a sigh of relief.

His whole person completely relaxed.

As he drew closer, Xu Zhangqing suddenly smelled a fragrance.

The closer he got, the stronger the scent.

Similar to the smell of Spirit Rice Wine, but not intoxicating.

"Could it be..." Xu Zhangqing's heart jumped in alarm, and he hurriedly flew toward Stone Mountain.

Once he burrowed inside, he was instantly shocked by the scene before him.

The Mutant Spirit Rice had already grown to two meters tall.

From top to bottom it was as if poured with gold, emitting a dazzling light.

Every grain on the rice ears was plump and fat like a fruit.

The fragrance was emitted by it, or rather by them.

These past few days Xu Zhangqing had been tending to the Earth Surge Lotus, so he hadn't paid much attention to the Mutant Spirit Rice.

Unexpectedly, it had quietly matured at this very time.

Fortunately no one was nearby, otherwise it would certainly have been exposed.

Immediately, he circulated the Changqing Jue to check the specific situation.

【Mutant Spirit Rice】

【Mature】

【No Damage】

【Spirit Qi Sufficient】

【Top-grade Today】

【Many Children Much Fortune】

The entries were there, and several more had appeared.

It had already thoroughly matured.

Even its quality had reached the top-grade tier.

At this moment, Xu Zhangqing's breathing became heavy.

He had originally thought that unexpectedly harvesting a green lotus seed was good luck.

He didn't expect good luck to come one after another.

The Mutant Spirit Rice he had waited for so long finally matured today.

He took out a sickle from his Small Storage Bag, intending to harvest, but suddenly stopped.

His attention focused again on the entry 【Many Children Much Fortune】.

If he hadn't misunderstood.

The so-called Many Children Much Fortune should have a 【Mother-Child】 distinction, right?

If the Spirit Rice on the rice ears are the "children".

Then isn't this golden Mutant Spirit Rice the "mother"?

Thinking of this, Xu Zhangqing extended his sickle, but did not harvest this Mutant Spirit Rice.

Instead, he cut down the heavy rice ears.

He carefully counted and found the seeds of the nine rice ears added up to exactly 999 grains.

Then he took out an equal amount of Second-grade Spirit Rice for comparison.

He discovered the Mutant Spirit Rice grains were larger, heavier, and plumper.

Same quantity.

The left hand holds Second-grade Spirit Rice.

The right hand holds Mutant Spirit Rice.

One can clearly feel the right hand is heavier.

And after cutting off the rice ears, the light on this Mutant Spirit Rice plant became dim.

Although it was still golden yellow, it was not glaring.

Even the fragrance in the air gradually dissipated.

"Why not... taste a little?" Feeling the astonishing Spiritual Energy inside the Mutant Spirit Rice, Xu Zhangqing swallowed his saliva.

He forcibly suppressed the urge, and first poured Ruquan Shui on the Mutant Spirit Rice.

Although he did not know if it would mature a second time, he was not in a hurry to harvest.

After all, not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of the one in ten thousand.

After everything was settled, only then did he rush toward the Kitchen.

Of course, the Mutant Spirit Rice itself was not much.

Therefore he only took out a small portion and mixed it into the Second-grade Spirit Rice.

Not long after, fragrant Rice was served on the table.

Among them, the vast majority were Second-grade Spirit Rice.

Pure white like Snow, not a single Impurity.

The Mutant Spirit Rice was very obvious, like golden grains dotted among them.

The rich fragrance, even the yellow dog and pearl chicken were attracted over.

They stayed at the Side, eyes fixed staring at the Spirit Rice giving off fragrance.

The yellow dog even had a large amount of drool flowing out from between its teeth.

"Don't rush, let me taste first." Xu Zhangqing picked up chopsticks, picked up a bit and put it in his mouth.

Second-grade Spirit Rice is springy.

The Mutant Spirit Rice even more so surpasses it without falling short.

The instant of chewing, immediately the mouth and tongue produced fluid.

Rich fragrance, mixed with a large amount of Spiritual Energy, swallowed into the abdomen.

Instantly, Xu Zhangqing's previously depleted Spiritual Power rapidly recovered.

Then he could no longer stop, eating more and more.

Spiritual Power continuously increased, finally from five "Spirit Power Wave" at once, actually rose to six!!!
