Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Mutant Spirit Rice, whether in Spiritual Energy content.

Or taste.

Both surpass the Second-grade Spirit Rice grown in Second Grade Spirit Fields.

Of course, Xu Zhangqing wasn't selfish enough to eat it all alone.

Afterwards he also shared a portion with the yellow dog and the pearl chickens.

The two little fellows ate and ate, both revealing expressions of enjoyment.

Their whole bodies even emitted the rich fragrance unique to Mutant Spirit Rice.

Even their fur became more soft and smooth.

Xu Zhangqing said with slight regret: "What a pity, not enough to eat."

Now only nine hundred grains remain, cannot continue eating.

He planned to cultivate the mutant rice seeds into mutant spiritual seedlings, replant them in the black soil.

See if they can grow, mature.

If successful, it means in the future he can eat an endless supply of mutant rice grains.

Thus, the speed of cultivation realm advancement will greatly increase.

Within a year he can reach Qi Condensation Perfection, even break through to Foundation Establishment Stage.

After all, spring still has one wave of 【Spiritual Qi Tide】.

In the following days, Xu Zhangqing constantly monitored the Mutant Spirit Rice.

Although harvesting the rice ears made it lose luster.

But besides that there were no problems at all.

【Mutant Spirit Rice】

【Mature】

【No Damage】

【Spirit Qi Sufficient】

【Top-grade Today】

【Many Children Much Fortune】

After pouring spring water several more times, Xu Zhangqing left the cave.

Then stepped on a Flying Paper Crane and flew toward the 【Core Management Office】.

Watching as Beginning of Autumn approaches, the third quarter planting is about to begin.

Although other seeds are still available, spiritual seedlings must be collected anew.

Because it's not the first time, the whole process went very smoothly.

Xu Zhangqing specially checked his points.

Previously obtained 700 by submitting Spirit Rice.

Later helped Hu Man cultivate Earth Surge Lotus and obtained 700.

Added together just over 1400 points, equivalent to half a high-rank spell.

Indeed, the best way to increase points is to complete tasks.

But good tasks are like finding a bargain, can be chanced upon but not sought.

Tasks like cultivating Earth Surge Lotus are even rarer.

Afterwards, Xu Zhangqing left the 【Core Management Office】.

Everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

Had Han Su come over to loosen soil.

And agreed with Bai Ling'er on the time for rain.

Waited for Hu Bugui to deliver Spirit Beast Feces.

The first two were fine, no problems.

Precisely the third one, that is Hu Bugui's side, had a situation.

Xu Zhangqing looked at the unfamiliar youth leading a camel before him and couldn't help asking: "Who are you?"

"I'm Sun Ban." The unfamiliar youth laughed dryly and explained: "Because Hu Senior Brother has some matter, so temporarily let me come deliver hundred-year Spirit Beast feces to you."

Xu Zhangqing pressed: "What happened to him?"

Sun Ban hurriedly said: "Hu Senior Brother is injured."

These words spoken, Xu Zhangqing associated it with Zhao Ziyue and the 【Black Dragon Pool】.

Afterwards, he had Sun Ban unload the hundred-year Spirit Beast feces.

Before leaving, the other party also gave a plump, juicy large watermelon as remuneration.

Then from the Small Storage Bag took out a Communication Talisman, injected Spiritual Power into it.

"Who is it?"

"Me!"

"Uh... Xu Dao Friend?"

"Heard you got injured?"

"Looks like you've already met Sun Ban."

"Does it have something to do with Zhao Ziyue?"

"It has nothing to do with Senior Brother Zhao!"

"What do you mean?"

Next, under Hu Bugui's detailed explanation.

Xu Changqing finally learned what had happened to this guy.

After the two parted last time.

Hu Bugui soon went to Black Dragon Pool with Zhao Ziyue.

Wanting to see if Spirit Rice Wine could hook Dragon Fish.

Unexpectedly, Black Dragon Pool didn't just have Dragon Fish, there were also fish demons.

While fishing, suddenly they were attacked, and his whole person was dragged into the water.

Fortunately, Zhao Ziyue had a Water Spirit Root, and had reached Foundation Establishment.

He succeeded in rescuing Hu Bugui before he was eaten by the fish demon.

The two dared not stay, and immediately ran.

But Hu Bugui's arm was injured because of this, and he temporarily couldn't go out.

"I see." Xu Changqing realized.

Hu Bugui said in a low voice: "Xu Dao Friend, your Spirit Rice Wine is indeed useful."

"Oh?" Xu Changqing heard this and raised an eyebrow.

Hu Bugui said seriously: "After I was dragged into the water by the fish demon, I happened to see a Dragon Fish wandering at the spot where Spirit Rice Wine was sprinkled."

Xu Changqing frowned: "Unless it bites the hook, that can't prove it's useful, right?"

But Hu Bugui immediately said: "No no no, I think the Spirit Rice Wine is useful, but maybe the Spirit Rice's quality isn't high enough, so the attraction isn't enough."

"Quality, huh." Xu Changqing thought of the mutated Spirit Rice in his hand.

Could it be that ordinary Spirit Rice Wine can attract Dragon Fish, but won't make them bite?

If switched to Third-grade Spirit Rice Wine.

Or mutated Spirit Rice Wine.

According to Hu Bugui's words, maybe it really could hook.

Dragon Fish possess a thin Demon Dragon Bloodline, so their price is extremely high.

Any single one costs over a thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Because the taste is extremely delicious, they are loved by many.

At this time, Hu Bugui said with regret: "Pity it didn't succeed this time, otherwise I could have become a Core Disciple, and wouldn't have to participate in that damn Formal Disciple Grand Competition."

Xu Changqing heard this and smiled.

He himself had no intention of participating in the Formal Disciple Grand Competition.

Even if his strength was enough.

Even if his cultivation realm was enough.

He just wasn't interested.

With this time, might as well plant more Spirit Rice.

Next, the two chatted simply for a while.

Hu Bugui's injury this time would need at least ten days half a month to recuperate.

Next meeting should be in winter.

Xu Changqing felt, as long as the person was fine, that was enough.

Hu Bugui was one of his few friends.

If something really happened, even death.

No Spirit Beast Feces supply was only secondary.

The key was no one to drink and chat with from now on.

Time flashed by.

Arrived at the day Bai Ling'er came in the rain.

Not long after, she arrived as promised.

Today her mood seemed good, a smile hung on her face the whole time.

Xu Changqing couldn't help but ask: "Is there something happy?"

Bai Ling'er blinked: "My Elder Sister returned from Dongyu, brought lots of local specialties."

"Dongyu?" Xu Changqing quickly recalled: "Great Yue Dynasty!"

Bai Ling'er nodded, then took out something from a Storage Bag like a pink Xiangbao: "This is the most popular pastry in Great Yue Dynasty right now, Peach Blossom Pastry, you try."

Xu Changqing took it and examined it carefully.

A small box, inside lay a piece of crisp pastry.

Color leaned pink.

Shape similar to a peach blossom.

Faintly had a bit of faint peach blossom fragrance.

He picked it up, put it in his mouth, then bit off a third.

It's very crisp.

The taste is a bit sweet.

When chewing, lots of fine crumbs fall out.

Overall it's passable, nothing spectacular.

"I'm starting to rain." Bai Ling'er wanted to finish quickly and go back to chat with Senior Sister sooner.

Soon, the Small Cloud Rain Technique began to operate.

A mass of faintly black water vapor condensed above the Spirit Field.

Like mist but not mist, like cloud but not cloud.

Not long after, the pattering sound of rain resounded.

Xu Changqing sees situation hurriedly put away the remaining half piece of Peach Blossom Pastry, then took out several water buckets from the Small Storage Bag.

Bai Ling'er sees situation doubtfully asked: "What are you doing?"

Xu Changqing gave an embarrassed smile: "I'm catching some Spiritual Water."

Bai Ling'er understood, then instructed: "Then you must pay attention, the Spiritual Energy will dissipate in a few days."

"Okay." Xu Changqing noted it down.

Not long after, several water buckets were filled.

After Bai Ling'er left, he rushed to Stone Mountain without stopping.

But not to irrigate the Mutant Spirit Rice.

But to raise seedlings.

There are three Cultivation Steps in total, respectively:

Seed Soaking

(Soaking the rice seeds in water)

Germination

(Placing the soaked rice seeds in a warm and Shi Re environment)

Seedling Raising

(After the rice seeds sprout, placing them in nutrient-rich soil)

The whole process takes about three to seven days, and the Mutant Rice seeds might become Mutant Rice Seedlings!!!
