Chapter 3:Spirit Rice Yield

Back to the room.

Qin Ming set up a soundproof formation, and from now on, no matter how the neighbor next door tossed around, it wouldn’t affect him.

“Hoo～ comfortable, the whole world is quiet.”

In the time that followed, Qin Ming’s thoughts were all on the five acres of spirit fields.

This directly related to his future fate.

Ten Days later.

The spirit rice in the spirit fields had begun to grow, a scene of lushness. Qin Ming rushed to the fields to check it out immediately.

What concerned him most was what kind of attributes would be brushed out in these five acres of spirit fields.

Qin Ming looked at it, and four attributes were flashing in the green rice paddies.

【Name 】: Gold Spirit Rice 【Attribute 】: Weak Magical Power （Maturity 10% ）

【Name 】: Gold Spirit Rice 【Attribute 】: Weak Magical Power （Maturity 15% ）

【Name 】: Gold Spirit Rice 【Attribute 】: Beast-Repelling Technique x5 （Maturity 12% ）

【Name 】: Gold Spirit Rice 【Attribute 】: Mother Seed · Beast Fang Rice （Maturity 10% ）

“There are new attributes.”

Qin Ming’s expression brightened with joy. Besides ‘Weak Magical Power,’ there were two new attributes.

“It’s a pity that the Accelerate Ripening Attribute wasn’t brushed out.” He was regretful.

Beast-Repelling Technique, this one he was very familiar with; it was also a Spirit Plant Technique.

Cooperating with special bell-type Magic Tools to unleash the Magic Incantation can quickly repel various Demonic Beasts to protect Spirit Plants.

However, the difficulty of cultivating this Magic is quite high. It is more difficult to practice than the Spirit Rain Technique, and very few people can do it.

The numbers behind the attribute, I suppose, can be unleashed five times.

Then Qin Ming’s attention was focused on the last attribute.

“Eh? Beast Fang Rice… I have some impression, it seems I’ve seen it somewhere…”

Qin Ming frowned slightly, carefully recalling.

Suddenly, a spiritual light flashed in his mind, and he remembered!

He patted his Storage Bag, and a book appeared in his hand.

Speaking of which, this was the Spirit Plant Book that the Spirit Feather Sect had given to them, the Spirit Farmers.

Qin Ming quickly flipped to the last few pages.

Beast Fang Rice, a First Rank Low-Grade Spirit Plant, is milky white like snow and shaped like a Beast Fang. After consumption, it can not only slightly enhance Qi and Blood, strengthen muscles and bones, and harmonize the internal organs, but its Spiritual Energy is five times that of Gold Spirit Rice!

Gold Spirit Rice is just ordinary Spirit Rice and does not enter the Grade.

And Beast Fang Rice belongs to the category of Low-Grade Spirit Plants, which is relatively rare.

It is precisely what Body Refining Cultivators are keen on. As soon as it appears in the marketplace, it is often snapped up.

But the cultivation conditions for Beast Fang Rice are more demanding; it must use the ‘Intermediate Spirit Rain Technique’ to mobilize the Spirit Vein’s energy and maintain long-term irrigation.

And the maturity cycle is very long; the lowest quality Beast Fang Rice takes two years to mature, and its Yield is also low.

The Price is also ten times that of Gold Spirit Rice, and even its Seed is extraordinarily expensive.

The Spirit Feather Sect’s book also specifically marked a sentence: 【All Spirit Farmers who successfully cultivate and grow Beast Fang Rice will have their Spirit Rice Taxes halved.】

Being able to cultivate and grow a First-Rank Low-Grade Spirit Plant means having the qualification to Ascend to a First-Rank Spirit Plant Master.

Then the Status would be much higher than that of an ordinary Low-Grade Spirit Farmer.

“It’s actually the Seed of Beast Fang Rice! I’m rich!” Qin Ming was overjoyed.

Right now, he must take even better care of these five acres of spirit fields.

In more than three months, he would have to pay the Spirit Rice Taxes again; that would be his real test.

It directly relates to his Life and Property.

During this period, Qin Ming’s entire person’s nerves were tense; nothing must go wrong in the spirit fields.

Next, Qin Ming carefully cleared away the Weeds and also used up the last time of the ‘Intermediate Spirit Rain Technique’.

……

The days passed one by one.

Qin Ming went out early and returned late every day, diligently and conscientiously, working hard.

He was looking forward to the Spirit Rice ripening quickly.

Besides taking care of the spirit fields, he would also work hard to cultivate 《Everlasting Spring Technique》 and the Spirit Rain Technique.

After fully experiencing the Intermediate Spirit Rain Technique five times, his Magic cultivation made great Progress, and he repeatedly practiced and explored.

Finally, he found that Feeling.

After one month.

Qin Ming looked at the Spiritual Cloud that covered the five acres of spirit fields above him, and a look of joy appeared on his face: “Intermediate Spirit Rain Technique, it’s done!”

In the future, even if he didn’t rely on attributes, he could unleash the Intermediate Spirit Rain Technique on his own.

It’s just that the Magical Power of the Qi Refining Stage two layers is really worrisome.

Even so.

In order to Improve the Yield, Qin Ming also went all out!

Every time he unleashed the Intermediate Spirit Rain Technique, he would squeeze out the last trace of Magical Power!

In order to Ensure that he could have two to three Spirit Rains every week.

Every time he returned home from the spirit fields, his complexion was Exhaustion, looking like he had been drained. He would walk while supporting the wall.

“Good Stuff, Fellow Daoist Qin, you really can’t tell?”

“To tell the truth, have you been secretly taking care of your neighbor Li Yanli’s Business recently?”

“Young people need to know moderation!”

“Even if it’s an iron-clad back and steel-made kidneys, you can’t do this every day.”

So much so that the Neighbors all thought he had gone on a wild Consumption.

‘Alas, my Cultivation is still too low, every time I unleash the Intermediate Spirit Rain Technique, my Spiritual Power is always unsustainable.’

Qin Ming Muttered, and faced with these Guesses, he just gave an Embarrassment smile as a response and didn’t give much Explanation.

Farming is the only way.

Watching the Spirit Rice in the spirit fields growing stronger day by day.

Qin Ming showed a Smile of satisfaction.

“It’s finally not a waste of Effort.”

More than two months later.

The Spirit Rice is Mature.

【Name 】: Gold Spirit Rice 【Attribute 】: Weak Magical Power （Maturity 100%, can Harvest ）

【Name 】: Gold Spirit Rice 【Attribute 】: Weak Magical Power （Maturity 100%, can Harvest ）

【Name 】: Gold Spirit Rice 【Attribute 】: Beast-Repelling Technique X5 （Maturity 100%, can Harvest ）

【Name 】: Gold Spirit Rice 【Attribute 】: Mother Seed · Beast Fang Rice （Maturity 100%, can Harvest ）

Qin Ming received these four Spirit Rice, and four white Leaves instantly appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.

Before long.

A group of Spirit Farmers began to Harvest Spirit Rice under the supervision of Overseer Du Haifu.

When it was Qin Ming’s turn to inspect the Spirit Field, Du Haifu looked at the Scene in front of him and couldn’t help but show a hint of Surprised.

He looked at it and saw that in Qin Ming’s Spirit Field, the Gold Spirit Rice Spikes were full and the grains were plump, even bending the rice stalks down.

“You have cultivated the Intermediate Spirit Rain Technique?”

Du Haifu looked back at Qin Ming, and after a while, he rarely showed a trace of Praise.

“I fortunately cultivated it some time ago.”

“Alright, that’s pretty good, you can go Harvest the Spirit Rice.”

Qin Ming began to work nimbly, Harvesting Spirit Rice.

After working for a whole day, he Harvested a full eight big bags of Spirit Rice.

Du Haifu began to accept the Harvest and weigh it.

“Harvested Spirit Rice eight stones and twenty jin…”

“Should pay Taxes seven tenths, a total of five hundred and seventy-four jin.”

As soon as he finished speaking.

A huge Magic Boat in the sky passed through a streak of Escape Light and steadily stopped above the hillside.

An Blue-Robed Old Man stood with his hands behind his back on the bow of the boat, his face stiff and serious. Behind him stood seven or eight Outer Sect Disciples of the Spirit Feather Sect, respectfully.

Upon seeing this person, Du Haifu immediately bowed and Pay Respects: “Pay Respects to Elder Gu. According to your Order, the Taxes for all the Spirit Rice this season have now been collected. Please take a look.”

After saying that, he carefully presented a Jade Slip.

Qin Ming also quickly lowered his head and Bowed.

Du Haifu, at this moment, in front of Elder Gu, looked like he was nodding and bowing, completely unlike the toughness he usually showed to the Spirit Farmers.

Although the other party was only an Outer Sect Deacon of the Spirit Feather Sect, that was also his superior, and he didn’t dare to Overstep and be Imprudence in the slightest.

Elder Gu checked the Jade Slip and Order the Disciples around him to gather all the Spirit Farmers together.

There were more than three hundred people.

Old Nine Cai squeezed from the crowd to Qin Ming’s side and gave him a wink, saying, “Brother Qin, how is it? How is the Harvest today?”

Qin Ming gave a chuckle, and without revealing his expression, said, “It’s okay, but Old Nine, you’re really not doing well. You didn’t tell me about your rich Harvest last season, and you’re quietly making a fortune?”

“Hehehe, didn’t I contribute it all?” Old Nine Cai’s eyes darted around, looking guilty.

At this moment, Elder Gu on the Magic Boat surveyed the crowd and, without any Affection, Announced, “This year’s three seasons of Spirit Rice Taxes have all been collected.”

“Now, according to the Sect’s instructions, this Deacon hereby Announces an Order: This year’s year-round Spirit Rice Yield ranking, the bottom ten Cultivators, will be forcibly assigned to the Frontline Battle Camp to supplement personnel. You must not disobey.”

Elder Gu’s undeniable voice rang out, like a thunderclap, exploding in the hearts of the Spirit Farmers, and it was a long time before they could calm down.

“What? Frontline Battle Camp?”

“It…it can’t be, right?”

“I…I shouldn’t be ranked last, right?”

“Why didn’t you say these things in advance?”

……

The Spirit Farmers were immediately in a state of panic and were in Panic.

“Hmph!” Elder Gu snorted coldly, and the Pressure of a Qi Refining Realm Perfection Cultivator spread out.

The crowd immediately Shut Up.

“The Spirit Rice Yield for these three seasons, as well as all the rankings, are all here; you can check them yourself.”

After Elder Gu said that, the Spirit Feather Sect Disciples around him stepped forward and unleashed a Magic Incantation at the Jade Slip in front of them.

Suddenly.

A huge Light Screen appeared above the heads of the Spirit Farmers, and the dense, countless Characters were clearly visible.

The ranking was displayed from high to low, followed by the specific Yield of each season.

Qin Ming looked up and quickly saw his Name, one hundred and fifty-sixth place!

“Hoo～”

He let out a long breath.

Ranked in the middle.

The Heart he had been holding finally relaxed.

“How is that possible? Eight stones and twenty jin?”

Old Nine Cai next to him exclaimed in surprise.

A dramatic Scene appeared.

The ranking on the Light Screen: One hundred and fifty-seventh place, Cai Jiuwu…

Old Nine Cai’s ranking followed Qin Ming’s.

You must know.

His Spirit Rice Yield for the first two seasons had surpassed Qin Ming’s by quite a bit.

But Qin Ming’s Spirit Rice Yield in the third season was too Absurd, and it actually far exceeded his own!

If you only talk about the Yield of the third season, he would have squeezed into the top fifty.

The ones ranked the highest were some Mid Qi Condensation senior Spirit Farmers.

“I believe you have all seen it clearly, right?”

“The last ten people get on the boat and come with me.”

“Tian Youcai, Zhao Shan, Lin Chengdong…”

The ten Spirit Farmers who were named instantly turned pale, their Hearts were ashen.

What awaited them would be the cruel Frontline Pioneering.

But they didn’t dare to disobey Elder Gu’s Order.

These people were taken onto the Magic Boat by the Spirit Feather Sect Disciples.

“I hope that You will all continue to work hard, and continue to work hard in the coming year to farm and contribute to the Sect. Next year, the Sect will issue a new quota. Next time, those who are assigned to the War Camp will be the thirty Spirit Farmer Cultivators ranked at the bottom.”

Elder Gu’s undeniable voice echoed in everyone’s ears for a long time.

Qin Ming Muttered when he heard it.

This time, the Spirit Feather Sect did not notify everyone in advance.

This caused most of the Spirit Farmers to not know about the matter of being assigned to the War Camp.

If Du Haifu hadn’t mentioned it to him in the first place, he would have definitely been kept in the dark.

And after this matter.

Next year, there will definitely be a competition among these Spirit Farmers.

After all.

No one wants to go to the Frontline as Cannon Fodder.

……

Qin Ming looked at the four attribute Leaves in his Sea of Consciousness.

In his Heart, a feeling of emotion arose spontaneously.

Before.

Wanting to cultivate the Intermediate Spirit Rain Technique in such a short period of time, that was something he didn’t dare to think about.

And now.

It only took less than Half a Year.

He also got a lot of Improvement in his experience of Planting Spirit Rice. This time, after paying the Spirit Rice Taxes, he could still have more than two hundred and fifty jin of Gold Spirit Rice left.

He couldn’t eat so much Spirit Rice by himself. When he sells the Spirit Rice, he can accumulate a small amount of Spirit Stone.

With Spirit Stones, in this kind of Environment, he would have more confidence.

“But if I develop at this speed, my Cultivation will soon be unable to keep up.”

“Such high-Intensity exhaustion of Magical Power, once it lasts for a long time, will inevitably damage the Meridians, and that will be irreversible.”

Moreover, now that he already has the Beast Fang Rice Spirit Seed.

Then the cultivation of Beast Fang Rice must be put on the agenda.

And maintaining the Magical Power circulation of the Mid-Grade Spirit Rain Technique for a long time.

The third layer of Qi Refining is the minimum requirement.

“I don’t know if those two ‘Weak Magical Power’ attributes can allow me to Breakthrough to the third layer of the Qi Refining Stage.”

“No, I have to work harder to farm, and I must brush out that ‘Accelerate Ripening’ Attribute!”
