Chapter 6: News

The four seasons change, and spring is in full bloom.

Qin Ming’s five acres of Spirit Field have already been turned over, and Spirit Rice has been replanted.

This time, he used the ‘Mother Seed – Beast Fang Rice’ Attribute he obtained last time.

The seeds contained in this Attribute are just enough to plant one acre of Spirit Field.

This year, a tense atmosphere permeated among all Spirit Farmers.

One by one, they fight to the death to cultivate, fearing they will fall behind.

Du Haifu patrolled the hilltop, nodded, and showed a satisfied expression.

Time passed, and two months flew by.

The Spirit Rice in Qin Ming’s Spirit Field began to grow taller.

But he was sitting by the edge of the field, staring blankly at the field, looking gloomy and miserable.

The good news is that, under the constant Blessing of his Intermediate Spirit Rain Technique, the Gold Spirit Rice in the four acres of Spirit Field is growing well, and three Attributes were brushed out, one of which was the ‘Accelerate Ripening’ Attribute that he had been longing for.

【Name 】: Gold Spirit Rice 【Attribute 】: Accelerate Ripening （Maturity 26% ）

【Name 】: Gold Spirit Rice 【Attribute 】: Weak Magical Power （Maturity 35% ）

【Name 】: Gold Spirit Rice 【Attribute 】: Weak Magical Power （Maturity 28% ）

The bad news is that the one acre of ‘Beast Fang Rice’ he planted has had no Reaction, and not even a sprout has appeared.

“Exactly where did the problem come from?”

“I clearly planted according to the Method in the Spirit Plant book? I didn’t use the Intermediate Spirit Rain Technique less either.”

“This wave won’t result in a Loss, right?”

Another two months passed.

The first season’s Spirit Rice Harvest was completed.

In Qin Ming’s one acre of ‘Beast Fang Rice’ field, it was still completely bare, with nothing at all.

This season, the Harvest was seventy-three stones of Gold Spirit Rice.

In Qin Ming’s Sea of Consciousness, there was another green ‘Accelerate Ripening’ Attribute, as well as two white ‘Weak Magical Power’ Attributes.

Du Haifu, upon learning that Qin Ming’s land was actually planted with Beast Fang Rice, did not blame him but instead patted his shoulder and patiently advised:

“Little Qin, isn’t it good to honestly plant your Gold Spirit Rice!”

“Why waste Spirit Stones for nothing?”

“This Beast Fang Rice, not to mention you, even a First-Rank Spirit Plant Master within the Sect rarely succeeds in cultivating it.”

“The Risk is too great, don’t be too ambitious!”

“Beast Fang Rice usually sprouts in three months, and it’s been four months, and there’s no Movement, it’s difficult.”

“This season’s Spirit Rice Yield, you are now outside the top two hundred.”

Qin Ming is not very worried about the Ranking now; after all, with the Attributes in hand, he is full of confidence!

It’s just this Beast Fang Rice, he is slightly unwilling.

He worries about what happens if the ‘Accelerate Ripening’ Attribute is used but still cannot grow?

Then it would be a real Loss on top of a Loss.

One day of peaceful days.

Qin Ming still used the only ‘Accelerate Ripening’ Attribute on that one acre of ‘Beast Fang Rice’ Spirit Field.

Long Time.

In Qin Ming’s anxious gaze.

A touch of tender Green broke through the soil.

“Success!” Qin Ming’s eyes shone with Golden Light, and he let out a sigh of relief, finally putting down his heart.

Soon, the Spirit Rice seedlings of the Beast Fang Rice quickly shot up, stopping at about two inches.

Then the Accelerate Ripening Effect in the Spirit Field gradually disappeared, and the Beast Fang Rice stopped its Terror Growth Speed.

“It seems that the higher the Rank of the Spirit Plant, the more ‘Accelerate Ripening’ Attributes are needed.”

“This time, I can only wait slowly. The Maturity Period of the Beast Fang Rice requires at least three years.”

“First, slowly plant Gold Spirit Rice. If I’m lucky enough in the future, I’ll brush out the ‘Accelerate Ripening’ Attribute again, and I can Harvest a batch of Beast Fang Rice in advance!”

“It hasn’t sprouted for so long, making me think the seeds were all damaged.”

Qin Ming was also somewhat Expectant as to exactly what Attributes this First-Rank Spirit Plant ‘Beast Fang Rice’ would refresh.

He looked towards the Spirit Field, and three Attributes were shining brightly.

【Name 】: Beast Fang Rice 【Attribute 】: Advanced Spirit Rain Technique x5 （Maturity 7% ）

【Name 】: Beast Fang Rice 【Attribute 】: Quality Enhancement x1 （Maturity 5% ）

【Name 】: Beast Fang Rice 【Attribute 】: Accelerate Ripening x5 （Maturity 5% ）

！！！

“I’ve made a fortune, I’ve made a fortune! Hahaha!”

Qin Ming excitedly jumped up from the edge of the field; these three Attributes in front of him are too Sharp.

Advanced Spirit Rain Technique!

Specifically for cultivating high-Rank Spirit Plants, the Rainfall Effect far exceeds the Intermediate Spirit Rain Technique.

The most important thing is that any Spirit Plant Crops that have been rained on by the Advanced Spirit Rain Technique, as long as they are below First-Rank High-Grade Spirit Plants.

Harvest Yield doubles!

Among their group of Spirit Farmers, no one has yet cultivated it; only a few Spirit Plant Masters of the Spirit Feather Sect can unleash it.

Ten Days later.

Du Haifu stared blankly at Qin Ming’s Spirit Field.

After repeated Inspections, looking at the Green sprouts of the Spirit Rice in the Spirit Field, which were mixed with unique red Veins, he finally confirmed that these were undoubtedly the leaves of the Beast Fang Rice.

“You have actually succeeded in cultivating it, kid.” Du Haifu looked at Qin Ming with a complex Expression, not knowing what to say for a moment.

……

A few more Days passed.

Qin Ming went out again.

‘Beast Fang Rice cultivation is a Success. The rest is just a matter of Time; first, go and find a Body Refining Technique.’

‘The Cultivation World is Changing Circumstances, and the world is unpredictable. My Spiritual Root Talent is too poor, and my Cultivation Speed is slow. I have to get some Means to protect myself.’

Qin Ming had a clear Goal and understood the need to be prepared.

Qingyang Marketplace.

The Gathering Pavilion in the center of the marketplace.

“Fellow Daoist Qin is here?”

Shopkeeper Liao greeted him with enthusiasm.

“Fellow Daoist Qin, please come to the Elegant Room on the fourth floor for a chat, and we can talk while drinking.”

“Someone, prepare a pot of High-Grade Spirit Mist Tea.”

After more than a year of Contact, although Qin Ming didn’t come to the Gathering Pavilion many times in total, the amount of Spirit Rice he has been selling recently has increased each time.

Not to mention anything else, the other party is obviously already a Spirit Farmer with a stable Yield and experience.

As the Shopkeeper of the Gathering Pavilion, his eye for seeing people is naturally not bad.

Moreover, Shopkeeper Liao had learned News two days ago that had even surprised him, who had always been Calm and experienced.

Qin Ming followed Shopkeeper Liao upstairs, looking around the huge and spacious Private Room, which was Antique and decorated with elegance and high-grade items.

He was somewhat surprised.

He still took out two large bags of Gold Spirit Rice from his Storage Bag as usual and placed them in front of him.

“The usual, two bags, Shopkeeper, weigh it for me.”

Shopkeeper Liao smiled slightly and quickly weighed and inspected them.

“Gold Spirit Rice, two stones and ten catties.”

“Fellow Daoist Qin, here are seventy Spirit Stones, please check them.”

Qin Ming frowned. How come there were so many Spirit Stones?

He asked in confusion, “Shopkeeper, what do you mean?”

Shopkeeper Liao quickly explained, “The price of Spirit Rice in the marketplace has started to rise recently, and it’s going to happen in the next few days anyway. Fellow Daoist Qin is a regular customer, so I took the liberty of paying Fellow Daoist Qin with the price after the increase.”

“Increased?”

“Shopkeeper Liao , has the market of Gold Spirit Rice always been stable? How come the price suddenly increased?”

“Has something happened?” Qin Ming was somewhat surprised and inquired without showing any Expression.

Shopkeeper Liao handed the Spirit Stones to Qin Ming and looked out the Window.

Then he took out a soundproof talisman, and he applied a layer of soundproof cover in the room, and then said very cautiously:

“The war camp of the Spirit Feather Sect, Pioneering on the Frontline, discovered a Utopia-like place in the deep of Cloud Marsh Wilderness, and there is a complete Third-Rank Spirit Vein inside!”

Third-Rank Spirit Vein?

Qin Ming, this Bottom Cultivator, had only seen it in the Records of books, and his Heart immediately stirred up a wave.

“But that place is occupied by a Barbarian Tribe with a scale of several thousand people, and those Barbarians are not afraid of death, are brave and good at fighting, and the Cultivation Techniques they practice are very different from those of ordinary Sects. The Spirit Feather Sect’s war camp suffered a great Loss on the Frontline, and the Losses were heavy.”

“Originally, they wanted to contact the Sect to send more manpower, but who would have thought that the News leaked midway and was intercepted by the Golden Cloud Valley.”

“That’s a Third-Rank Spirit Vein!”

“The Golden Cloud Valley was naturally envious and immediately sent a large number of Sect Disciples to sneak attack and destroy the Teleportation Array Base of the Spirit Feather Sect leading to Qingyang Marketplace.”

“And they severed the Supplies line between the Spirit Feather Sect and Qingyang Marketplace in one fell swoop.”

Shopkeeper Liao looked at Qin Ming’s shocked Reaction, looking as if he had expected it, and then said:

“With such a long Supplies line, the Spirit Feather Sect will have to suffer a great Loss this time.”

“The Conflict between the Spirit Feather Sect and the Golden Cloud Valley will not be resolved easily for short to three to five years, or long to decades.”

“Therefore, not only the prices of daily necessities such as Spirit Rice and meat will increase, but the prices of other Resources for Cultivation will also increase.”

Qin Ming, listening to Shopkeeper Liao ‘s words, did not recover for a long time, and a Gloomy and Miserable Premonition lingered in his Heart.

‘No wonder the Spirit Feather Sect is sending even Spirit Farmers to the Frontline recently.’

……

“I heard that the Barbarians are very good at using Demonic Beasts. There is a batch of Demonic Beasts that escaped the net on the Frontline, broke through the Spirit Feather Sect’s Defense Line, and disappeared without a trace. Fellow Daoist Qin should pay more Attention when going out recently, and don’t go far.”

After Shopkeeper Liao finished speaking, he invited Qin Ming to be seated.

“Come and taste this. It’s Spirit Mist Tea produced in the Cloud Marsh Wilderness, which is also beneficial for the Qi Refining Stage.”

Qin Ming politely accepted the tea and took a sip.

The fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth, and the Spiritual Essence was pleasant.

Qin Ming knew that Shopkeeper Liao had paved the way for so long before, showing Favor to him.

Next, he should talk about Serious Matters.
