Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

At the Spirit Field Core, the three parties gathered together.

Beside Xu Zhangqing were Li Sancai and Zhang Su.

Yang Zhenyue came for the earth vein, along with three Earth Spiritual Roots.

Mo Zhenjun of the Water Control Pavilion did not come, but Ruo Qunshuang did.

Before everyone now were two mu of adjacent Second Grade Spirit Fields.

Only, their states were starkly different.

The left mu was planted a day early, using the old system.

Loosening the earth, clearing the earth qi, sowing the seeds, and finally rain.

To put it plainly, although all were three-party cooperation, none had integrated into the solar terms.

The right mu was different; today happened to be "Rain Water" among the Twenty-Four Solar Terms.

"Two mu of spirit fields, both planted with Condensing Dew Grass!"

"Its only advantage: it can take root and sprout in half a day!"

"Everyone look at the left mu first……"

Everyone looked over.

Inside the left mu spirit field, the seeds had taken root and sprouted.

However, the sprouts and leaves were yellow, and the stems were thin and weak.

At this rate of growth, the quality would be at most Middle Grade.

Xu Zhangqing smiled: "Out of fairness, both were planted by Zhang Peiling."

Zhang Su nodded in agreement: "Yes, these two mu of spirit fields were both planted by me."

Yang Zhenyue frowned: "The left spirit field is not planted by solar term; the earth qi is stagnant, and the soil is compacted."

"Even with spirit rain poured on it, it cannot resonate with the earth qi."

"The spiritual energy is severed; that should be one of the main reasons."

Xu Zhangqing smiled slightly: "Everyone look at the right mu again."

In the right mu spirit field, the Condensing Dew Grass sprouted from the ground in neat rows.

The sprouts and leaves were tender green, moist enough to almost drip water.

The leaves glowed with a crystalline halo.

The spacing between plants was uniform as if measured by a ruler.

The stems were upright and strong.

When the wind blew, the entire spirit field rippled with green waves.

Compared with the left mu several zhang away, the two were worlds apart.

Li Sancai judged seriously: "At this rate of growth, the quality is absolutely Supreme Grade!"

The left mu: non-solar term plus old system.

The right mu: solar term plus new system.

Which is strong and which is weak is clear at a glance.

Yang Zhenyue took a deep breath: "The Heavenly Craft Score is the foundation of three-party cooperation; following the times and going with the trend, spiritual energy forms a cycle, and spiritual plants grow fast and well."

Zhang Su smiled: "Previously we knew solar terms could affect the harvest, but never expected such miraculous results."

"From now on, following the solar terms and the Heavenly Craft Score, the spirit field harvest will at least double."

A comparison of new and old, solar terms, for the two mu of fields.

Perfectly highlighting the value of "going with the times and cooperating," as well as the importance of the Four Seasons Heavenly Craft Score.

At this moment, a figure flew over, precisely Mu Yunsheng, the Spirit Beast Valley Master.

Having heard that a solar term comparison test would be conducted today, he came specially to inspect the results.

Seeing the huge contrast between the two mu of fields now, he was stunned for a moment: "Good fellow, is the difference too great?"

Xu Zhangqing stood with his hands behind his back: "Although the old system has persisted for thousands or tens of thousands of years, the quality of spiritual plants ultimately depends on the spirit field, the spirit farmer, and even luck."

"Now following the Four Seasons Heavenly Craft Score, the three parties cooperate closely."

"Not to mention anything else, the quality of spiritual plants is improved by at least one grade."

Mu Yunsheng said quite excitedly: "With such spiritual plant supply, the survival rate of juvenile beasts in my Spirit Beast Valley and the advancement speed of adult spirit beasts can both be improved."

However, Xu Zhangqing's smile faded: "How good the new method is, everyone can see clearly."

"The problem is that it will surely encounter resistance, even counterattacks, from supporters of the old system."

"I hope everyone works together to promote the new method as soon as possible."

Just as the words fell, a wisp of pure purple qi descended from the sky.

The purple qi was misty, carrying Dao rhyme.

Then, in everyone's witness, it all entered Xu Zhangqing's body.

In an instant, energy flowed through his four limbs and hundred bones; he only felt the bottleneck of Golden Core Late Stage faintly loosening, and his heart realm became increasingly clear.

Yang Zhenyue exclaimed: "This is the Great Elder's reward!"

The surrounding people all showed envious colors in their eyes.

From this, it can be seen that the Great Elder is also paying attention to the situation here.

After confirming that the Four Seasons Heavenly Craft Score, that is, the new system, is effective, he specially sent a reward, and it is very precious Purple Qi.

Xu Zhangqing immediately bowed toward the sky: "Thank you, Great Elder, for your generosity!"

In the time that followed, Xu Zhangqing brought the three parties together and conducted similar comparative tests during the Spring Equinox, Pure Brightness, and other solar terms, with results that were without exception.

Cooperating according to the Heavenly Craft Score, the yield of spiritual plants increased by more than double compared to the old system.

The concentration of spiritual energy was forty percent higher, and the spiritual plants were more robust, with more condensed medicinal properties.

After confirming that the Heavenly Craft Score was flawless, the Immortal Sect officially ordered the promotion of this brand new "Seasonal Cooperation" system throughout the sect.

The news spread, causing no small stir.

Many forces that relied on the old system for profit resisted one after another, with the Alchemists of Di Huo Qu reacting most intensely.

These people considered themselves a cut above the spiritual farmers.

Therefore, during cooperation, they always made things difficult and withheld payment.

The excuse they used most often was "average quality."

Many spiritual farmers could not refute it and ultimately had to accept their fate.

Afterwards, certain Alchemists hypocritically said: "Considering our years of cooperation, I'll accept it this time, but this won't happen again."

This way, they both lowered the price of spiritual plants and played the good guy.

But now it's different; once they cooperate according to the brand new system, that is, the Four Seasons Heavenly Craft Score.

With Wood, Earth, and Water Spiritual Roots cooperating, the quality of spiritual plants will inevitably improve.

Then how can the Alchemists find excuses to withhold payment and suppress them?

Therefore, several senior Alchemists with longer standing joined forces to accuse the Heavenly Craft Score of "disrupting the supply and demand order of spiritual herbs," demanding that its promotion be banned.

Otherwise, they cannot guarantee the quality of future pills.

And if anyone is to be blamed, blame the new system, and even blame those who promoted the new system.

To put it plainly, the ones who ultimately suffer are still the spiritual farmers.

As Chief Alchemist of Di Huo Qu and a Top-tier Alchemist of the Immortal Sect, Wang Yangyin bears the interests of the entire Di Huo Qu and the Pill Refining Pavilion.

He knows well that once the new system is promoted, the method of profiting by withholding from spiritual farmers and buying spiritual plants at low prices will completely disappear.

The "gray income" of many Alchemists in Di Huo Qu will also be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Wang Yangyin hesitated not at all and went straight to Yunhua Realm to see the Great Elder.

He felt that with his own identity and attainments in the Dao of Pills, he should be able to influence the other party's decision.

"Great Elder, the colleagues of Di Huo Qu and the Pill Refining Pavilion believe that rashly promoting the new system will likely disrupt the supply and demand order of spiritual herbs, and it will be even harder to guarantee the quality of pills."

"..."

"I ask the Great Elder to withdraw the order, delay the promotion, and continue maintaining the old system; only thus can the pill Dao foundation of the Immortal Sect be protected!"

His words seemed sincere, but every word and sentence was actually protecting the interests of the old system.

Although the old system had drawbacks, it allowed the Alchemists to firmly control the pricing power of spiritual plants.

If it were given to the spiritual farmers, the benefits of Di Huo Qu and the Pill Refining Pavilion would be greatly reduced.

Xuan Yan sat cross-legged on the cloud bed, eyes slightly closed, his aura fused as one with Yunhua Realm, until Wang Yangyin's words fell, then he slowly raised his eyes, his gaze deep as an ancient well, and when it fell upon the other party, it carried a hint of scrutiny.

Wang Yangyin's heart suddenly tightened, a chill spread through his whole body, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

Xuan Yan slowly opened his mouth, his voice not high, only four words: "Follow the Season and Ride the Trend!"
