Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing scratched his head and said, "I didn't expect that either."

After speaking, his gaze involuntarily glanced toward Stone Mountain.

Inside, there were still 99 Mutant Spirit Rice plants.

Li Sancai nodded slightly, then asked, "How do you want to handle it?"

Xu Zhangqing hurriedly said, "I checked; this Mutant Spirit Rice is called 【Golden Rice Spirit-Gathering Rice】, containing rich Golden Spirit Qi, and it should be useful for Senior Brother Lingbi!"

Upon hearing this, Li Sancai raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Xu Zhangqing nodded firmly.

Immediately, Li Sancai pondered: "If it really is 【Golden Rice Spirit-Gathering Rice】, then my cousin should be willing to buy it."

Xu Zhangqing hinted wildly: "Because he's one of our own, that's why I notified Senior Brother."

Li Sancai understood immediately and said at once: "Alright, I'll send someone to notify my cousin."

Xu Zhangqing asked doubtfully: "Isn't there a Communication Talisman?"

Li Sancai explained after hearing this: "Our Immortal Sect is too far from the Central Region; Communication Talismans are useless."

Communication Talismans, also called Communication Spirit Talismans.

Divided into short-range and long-range types.

Generally speaking, within or near the Immortal Sect, contact is definitely possible.

But if the distance is too far, there's no way.

Xu Zhangqing said somewhat regretfully: "It seems I can only go find Hua Lao to talk."

Li Sancai was stunned for a moment, then said with a laugh: "Don't rush, give Senior Brother ten days."

If you can't contact my cousin, this Mutant Spirit Rice is yours to handle as you wish."

"Good." Xu Zhangqing had been waiting for exactly these words.

Li Lingbi was not only a genius with Three Spirit Roots.

He was also a Core Disciple of the Water-Governing Pavilion.

His backer was even a 【Nascent Soul True Lord】.

As long as he clung to this thick thigh, he could farm comfortably.

He had no interest in fighting and killing or scheming against each other.

Afterward, Li Sancai rode a Flying Paper Crane and left quickly.

Xu Zhangqing watched until the other disappeared, then withdrew his gaze.

Now all he had to do was wait patiently.

Several days later, he still hadn't received news from Li Lingbi.

Instead, the Spirit Rice matured first.

Xu Zhangqing used the Green Lotus Domain every day to speed up growth.

Now it finally had some effect.

Of course, this time it was only advanced by a few days.

After all, when he learned 【Green Lotus Creation Art】.

Spring had already passed for two months.

At this moment, one stalk of mature Spirit Rice after another swayed in the wind in the Spirit Field.

The heavy rice ears seemed as if they would fall at any second.

Every grain of rice was especially full, containing abundant attribute-less Spiritual Qi.

Xu Zhangqing held a sickle and spread his spiritual sense outward.

【Mature】

【Spirit Qi Sufficient】

【No Loss】

【Second-grade Spirit Rice】

【Top-grade Today】

【Yield 4000 jin】

Indeed, 4000 jin was the limit of a Second Grade Spirit Field.

To get more, unless the Spirit Field's range was expanded, or another mu was added.

But Xu Zhangqing knew the time wasn't right yet.

Afterward, he stepped barefoot into the Spirit Field and began harvesting mercilessly.

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

【Harvested 1 "Mutant Sweet Potato", Lifespan +7 days】

【Harvested 1 "High Quality Cabbage", Lifespan +3 days】

x99

x999

x1999

Since mastering the Azure Lotus Creation Art, Xu Zhangqing's constitution was enhanced once more.

Therefore, when harvesting, not only did he not feel fatigued.

Instead, the more he worked, the more motivated he became, the more he worked, the more energized he got.

When all the spirit plants in the spirit field, whether spirit rice or vegetables, were completely harvested.

Less than two hours had passed, and the efficiency was extraordinarily fast.

And compared to last time, this harvest was actually about the same.

Various vegetables added up to over 200 jin.

The number of mutant vegetables was more than imagined.

Because sweet potatoes were buried underground, they had not been discovered before.

Second-grade spirit rice was still 4000 jin.

Subtracting Hu Bugui's 150 jin.

Subtracting Han Su's 50 jin.

Subtracting Li Lingbi's 800 jin.

And the 1500 jin turned over.

Left with 1500 jin.

Now, the second-grade spirit rice Xu Zhangqing had stored reached 5000 jin.

As for lifespan, it was probably due to the mutant vegetables.

More than last time, reaching 【Heaven】.

Now total lifespan came to 【Heaven】.

Equivalent to 363 years.

Xu Zhangqing stood on the spirit field ridge and mused: "Next it's time to learn 【Wood Hiding Technique】."

Now, his biggest shortcoming was movement technique.

Cultivation method had high-rank 【Azure Lotus Creation Art】.

Offensive spells had high-rank 【Wood Spirit Entangling Art】.

Defensive spells had high-rank 【Iron Wood Armor Technique】.

Even the spirit rice wine was switched to higher-grade 【Yellow Rice Wine】.

Next, he did not leave, instead taking out flint.

He lit the stacked straw with one fire.

Previously seen in 【Spirit Field Hundred Records】.

There was a farming method called 【Slash-and-Burn Fire Seeding Method】.

Slash-and-burn meant: using tools to till the land, to benefit crop growth.

But because Han Su was present, this method was optional.

And fire seeding meant: through burning, turning straw into ashes, thus not only providing nutrients to the soil, but also clearing weeds, even burning insect eggs to death.

Except for winter, it could almost always be used.

The only problem was... too much smoke.

"Although there is a Killing Insect Array, saving a bit is still a bit." Xu Zhangqing was not a wasteful person; where he should be generous, he was generous, but where he should save, he must save.

Killing Insect Array, meaning the activation of the Golden Killing Array.

Although it could easily kill pests.

But at the same time it would consume the spiritual energy in spirit stones.

And it would cause wear and tear on spirit tools buried underground.

If pest prevention could be done well in daily life.

Then spirit stones, spirit tools, and golden spiritual power wouldn't they be saved.

And service life would be greatly extended.

Converted, this was all spirit rice spent for nothing.

Just like that, several days passed.

Li Sancai finally appeared.

Without using a communication talisman to notify in advance, he directly appeared stepping on a flying paper crane.

Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but ask: "Senior Brother, how is it?"

Li Sancai waved his hand somewhat tiredly: "First get me some spirit rice wine to wet my throat."

Xu Zhangqing was stunned for a moment, then took out second-grade spirit rice wine from his small storage bag.

Yellow rice wine was available, but unfortunately the amount was small, he couldn't bear to drink it himself.

Li Sancai gulped down a mouthful of second-grade spirit rice wine, his whole person felt refreshed, then let out a long sigh: "To help you contact your cousin, I personally went to 【Fan Tian City】 in the Central Region."

Xu Zhangqing suddenly understood, finally realizing why the other had been silent for so many days.

Good fellow, it turned out he had gone out.

His heart was deeply moved.

Li Sancai then smiled: "Regarding 【Golden Rice Spirit-Gathering Rice】, my cousin has already said, this mutant spirit rice is indeed useful to him, therefore he is willing to buy it."

Xu Zhangqing grinned: "Alas, we're all our own people, mentioning money would be going too far."

Li Sancai's mouth corner twitched several times upon hearing this, not believing the other's ghostly talk at all, then continued: "Of course, not using spirit stones, but exchanging two items for this Golden Rice Spirit-Gathering Rice."

"Two items?" Xu Zhangqing was both surprised and curious.

Li Sancai pulled a palm-sized item from his Storage Bag—a small green toy wooden boat—and then introduced it with no small envy: "This is a specialty of the Central Region, called the Demon Wood Water-Avoidance Boat."

"This treasure can not only fly about in the sky, but also move freely inside water, and its value far surpasses a single mutated Lingti!!!"
