Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

After being soaked by the Spirit Rain.

The mutant rice seeds continuously absorbed water and swelled.

Seven days later, fresh tender shoots indeed grew.

Because it was a trial, Xu Zhangqing only took out 100 grains.

The success rate was very high, 95 grains grew tender shoots.

The other 5 grains swelled but had no change whatsoever.

Next, he planted all 95 grains that had grown shoots into the black soil.

But not the Second Grade Spirit Field outside.

Rather, the one below Stone Mountain.

Surrounded entirely by the mutant spirit rice.

Like stars surrounding the moon.

What followed was a long wait.

Time passed day by day.

Autumn went, winter came.

Soon it was the third quarter harvest day.

Xu Zhangqing stood on the Spirit Field Ridge.

Before him was golden spirit rice.

【Mature】

【Spirit Qi Sufficient】

【No Loss】

【Second-grade Spirit Rice】

【Top-grade Today】

【Yield 4000 catties】

Since summer began, the yield hasn't changed much.

Even if Spirit Beast Feces were changed to five hundred years.

Small Cloud Rain Technique exceeded five times.

Actually didn't have much effect either.

This is the current limit of the Second Grade Spirit Field.

Xu Zhangqing didn't hesitate, decisively picked up the sickle and began harvesting.

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

【Harvested "Quality Sweet Potato" 1 plant, Lifespan +3 days】

【Harvested "Quality Chili Pepper" 1 plant, Lifespan +3 days】

x1999

After a bout of hard labor.

The Second Grade Spirit Field before him was fully harvested.

Minus Hu Bugui's 150 catties.

Minus Han Su's 50 catties.

Minus Li Lingbi's 800 catties.

And the 1500 catties handed over.

Now, Xu Zhangqing has in hand 【3500 catties】 of Second-grade Spirit Rice.

This harvest gained a total of 【Heaven】 Lifespan.

Total Lifespan reaches 【Heaven】, which is 218 years.

Successfully broke the previous 200-year record, setting a new high.

Xu Zhangqing washed a sweet potato stained with black soil clean with water, then stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite, his eyes instantly brightening: "Truly sweet!"

The potato flesh was raw and crisp.

The juice was sweet.

Worthy of being a Quality Sweet Potato.

Afterward, he walked toward Stone Mountain with light steps.

Just as he approached, he smelled a faint fragrance in the air.

This is the unique scent of the mutant spirit rice, very easy to distinguish.

Xu Zhangqing ducked into the grotto, soon arriving before the mutant spirit rice.

Compared to summer, it had become even taller.

Already reaching about two and a half meters.

The surface is plated with a layer of golden light.

Xu Changqing decisively activates Chang Qing Jue to view the details.

【Mutant Mother Rice】

【Many Children Much Fortune】

【Spirit Qi Cultivated】

【Domain One Zhang】

The old entries have disappeared, replaced by new entries.

Regarding 【Domain One Zhang】, Xu Changqing is very familiar with it.

After he raised Chang Qing Jue to the fifth layer, he similarly obtained a similar ability.

He can perceive the condition of all Lingti within ten zhang, and very detailedly.

Afterwards, Xu Changqing's Shi Jian shifted sideways.

Beside the Mutant Mother Rice is "her" child.

There are 95 stalks in total.

Each stalk has six rice ears.

They look like shrunken versions of the Mutant Mother Rice.

It appears there is only a difference in the number of rice ears and body type.

【Mutant Child Rice】

【No Injury】

【Spirit Qi Sufficient】

【Already Mature】

【Yield 40 Jin】

There is no distinction in Spirit Tool Grade.

Child rice is child rice; it will not continue to grow.

Nor can it replace the mother rice.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing pondered for a moment, then picked up the sickle.

【Harvested 1 stalk of "Mutant Child Rice", Remaining Lifespan +10 days】

【Harvested 1 stalk of "Mutant Child Rice", Remaining Lifespan +10 days】

【Harvested 1 stalk of "Mutant Child Rice", Remaining Lifespan +10 days】

x95

A total of 950 days of Remaining Lifespan harvested.

Plus the 【days】 just now.

Remaining Lifespan comes to 【days】.

Equivalent to 221 years.

Obviously, Mutant Child Rice is higher-grade than Second-grade Spirit Rice.

Therefore, harvesting yields +4 more days of Remaining Lifespan.

If it could be planted on a large scale, cultivated on a large scale.

The result is easy to imagine.

But for now, this idea cannot be realized.

If planted outside, it would easily be discovered by people.

Staying under Stone Mountain, the space is insufficient.

Currently, each harvest is around 100 stalks.

In the blink of an eye, another three months passed.

Xu Changqing harvests again.

The Second Grade Spirit Field outside still has spirit rice, sweet potatoes, and chili peppers.

Under Stone Mountain there are still 100 stalks of Mutant Child Rice.

Second-grade Spirit Rice is 【4000 jin】.

Mutant Spirit Rice is 【40 jin】.

Subtracting the 1000 jin handed over.

800 jin given to Li Lingbi.

150 jin given to Hu Bugui.

Han Su's 50 jin.

Plus daily consumption and wine brewing.

Currently stored in Shou Li are 【5000 jin】 of Second-grade Spirit Rice.

Mutant Spirit Rice previously ate ten jin, now it is 【70 jin】.

Remaining Lifespan changed from 【days】 to 【days】.

Equivalent to 252 years.

Only one quarter has passed.

Xu Changqing added another 30 years of Remaining Lifespan.

You must know, a normal Wood Spiritual Root in the Qi Refining Stage.

At most, Remaining Lifespan is between 120 and 150 years.

Although Xu Changqing was likewise at the Qi Refining Stage, his lifespan had already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.

A cultivator's time is simply not enough.

Sometimes a single secluded cultivation session passes and decades have gone by.

The higher the realm, the more time it consumes.

The reason many people raise their realm is simply fear of death.

A single small realm can extend one's lifespan by several decades.

If one crosses a great realm, that is several hundred or even thousands of years.

But no matter how much lifespan is prolonged, even if one becomes an Immortal, true immortality still cannot be achieved.

Death still presses closer step by step, striking terror into countless cultivators and Immortals alike.

Xu Changqing, however, had no such trouble.

As long as he farms honestly, even if his aptitude is poor, there will come a day when he achieves immortality and becomes an ancestor.

……

"Xu Dao Friend." On this day, Hu Bugui arrived at the Spirit Field.

Xu Changqing was roasting sweet potatoes; seeing him arrive, he immediately rose from his chair: "Let's go."

The two had agreed the day before yesterday to go together to the Hongfeng Valley Market to sell goods.

The Second-grade Spirit Rice Wine brewed by now had already reached five hundred jin.

Various vegetables such as sweet potatoes, Chinese cabbage, chili peppers, and so on also amounted to several hundred jin.

Although they could be stored in a Storage Bag, the quantity was too great.

The tiny Storage Bag's space was completely insufficient.

They had to go to the Nongxin Society to sell them.

"Get on." Hu Bugui patted the Spirit Beast Camel beneath him.

Xu Changqing smiled upon hearing this, then took out a Flying Paper Crane from his Small Storage Bag.

The instant he infused it with Spiritual Power, it immediately expanded several times over.

Hu Bugui was stunned at the sight: "When did you buy this?"

Xu Changqing shrugged: "Half a year ago."

"Ho." Hu Bugui stowed the Spirit Beast Camel into his Spirit Beast Ring, then leapt onto the back of the Flying Paper Crane; after a round of inspection he exclaimed in surprise: "It's actually a high-grade item."

Xu Changqing controlled the Flying Paper Crane to rise, then asked: "I heard this year's Hongfeng Valley Market will be even livelier than last year?"

Hu Bugui nodded, saying with gritted teeth: "Isn't that so? Many Formal Disciples who went out have all returned because they have to participate in this damn Formal Disciple Competition."

The more people, the greater the competition.

The ranking becomes even harder to climb.

It makes him both angry and helpless.

Xu Changqing blinked: "I don't care about that; I just want to find an Array Master to help install a Killing Insect Array."

Hu Bugui stared wide-eyed: "Everything is rising in price now; a single array costs at least fifteen Middle-grade Spirit Stones — are you that rich?"

"Not bad." Xu Changqing shrugged.

That's just five thousand jin of Second-grade Spirit Rice.

Seventy jin of Mutant Spirit Rice.

Five hundred jin of Second-grade Spirit Rice Wine.

Several hundred jin of Spirit Vegetables.

That's all!!!
