Translator: 549690339
What can more than thirty spirit stones be used for?
They can buy six Thick Earth Amulets.
They can buy three hundred catties of spirit rice.
They can buy sixty catties of low-grade demonic beast meat.
And then, there’s nothing left!
If he really bought these things, he might not even be able to afford a meal.
In order to not be kicked out of the house and starve to death,
quickly learning a craft that can earn money has become He Song’s top priority.
Following his past life’s memories, He Song started rummaging through the house again.
When he returned to the only table in the room, several more items appeared before him.
Two wrinkled Thick Earth Amulets.
A copy of “Spiritual Plant Cultivation Skill.”
A cultivation skill for reaching the ninth-tier Qi Refining, “Thick Earth Formulas.”
In addition to the more than thirty spirit stones already on the table.
now became He Song’s entire fortune.
“In my previous life, I finally left the countryside and settled in the city. After crossing over, do I need to start farming again?”
Looking at the “Spiritual Plant Cultivation Skill” in front of him, He Song’s doubtful expression flashed by.
He was not unfamiliar with farming, as he was a rural child in his previous life and was familiar with farming techniques through constant exposure.
But who would have thought that after crossing into a cultivator, he would need to pick up his previous life’s farming skills again?
In the Cultivation World, those who make a living growing spirit rice or other spirit plants are collectively called spiritual plant farmers.
Income for spiritual plant farmers is not high, but it is relatively stable.
As long as the spirit plants are properly cared for, there will be a decent income every year.
For low-level cultivators, this is a good path.
The “Spirit Plant Cultivation Skills” found in his room was obtained by his predecessor with the intention of becoming a spiritual plant farmer.
After contemplating for a moment,
He Song picked up the “Spirit Plant Cultivation Skills” on the table and began to browse through it.
The book only recorded two types of spirit plants cultivation methods and two skill cultivation methods.
“Spirit Rice cultivation method.”
“Golden Bamboo cultivation method.”
“Spirit Arrow Skill.”
Spirit rice, when mature, can be harvested as spirit rice, which is the staple food for cultivators.
Golden Bamboo on the other hand is a specialty of Bamboo Mountain Market, as hard as iron and can be used for refining artifacts, but has a long growth period.
Spirit Rain Skill is a skill that uses spirit power to irrigate spirit plants.
The Spirit Arrow Skill is a skill to kill pests in spirit plant gardens.
Apart from this, the “Spirit Plant Cultivation Skills” also indicate that once the Spirit Rain Skill and Spirit Arrow Skill are learned and the book is thoroughly studied, one can apply to become a spiritual plant farmer in Bamboo Mountain Market. The market will distribute a five-acre spirit field and corresponding spirit plant seeds for free.
However, once you become a spiritual plant farmer in Bamboo Mountain Market, all the spirit plants produced will be purchased at 30% of the market price.
The market price of one hundred catties of spirit rice is ten spirit stones, and the purchase price of Bamboo Mountain Market will be three spirit stones for one hundred catties.
With such a commission, even if the yield per acre of spirit rice is as high as a thousand catties, a spiritual plant farmer working hard for a year in a five-acre spirit field would only bring an income of about 150 spirit stones.
With an annual income of 150 spirit stones, 120 spirit stones would be needed for rent if living in the market, so the majority of their income would be spent there.
After a year of hard work, and after deducting rent, only thirty spirit stones would be left in the balance.
This really is… you make money in the market, and you spend it in the market, never taking any of it back home.
However, even so, if one wants to stay in the market, the profession of a spiritual plant farmer is still very attractive.
First, it was because there were Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators stationed in the market, making it very safe.
Second, the concentration of spirit Qi in the market was much stronger than outside, making cultivation faster.
“Forget it, let’s focus on surviving first. I’ll make less money, but my lifespan is unlimited, and as long as I absorb spirit Qi during the Qi Refining stage, I’ll become stronger. Since the market is safe and secure, and the cultivation speed is faster than outside, I’ll stay here for now.”
After carefully reading the “Spiritual Plant Cultivation Skill” book, He Song made a decision.
He soon immersed himself in the knowledge brought by the book.
Methods of cultivating spirit rice.
Methods of cultivating Golden Bamboo.
As He Song glanced through, insights emerged one after another in his mind, like a gushing spring.
Since he had experience cultivating rice in his previous life, He Song quickly grasped the cultivation methods for spirit rice.action
Ultimately, spirit rice was just rice containing spirit Qi. Compared to ordinary rice, it actually shared some similarities.
However, spirit rice required nourishment of spirit fields and needed to be irrigated with the Spirit Rain Skill.
After completely understanding the cultivation method for spirit rice, He Song quickly began practicing the Spirit Rain Skill and Spirit Arrow Skill.
The cultivation methods for spirit rice and Golden Bamboo only needed to be understood.
The Spirit Rain Skill and Spirit Arrow Skill were the keys to becoming a spiritual plant farmer!
Without these two skills, even if you were familiar with the cultivation methods, you couldn’t grow qualified spirit rice and Golden Bamboo.
It took a considerable amount of time to practice skills.
Although He Song immersed himself, his cultivation level was too low, and he still needed to eat.
As the sky darkened, He Song was finally awakened by hunger.
Looking out the window, He Song felt slightly surprised.
Unknowingly, he had immersed himself in cultivating skills for an entire day.
If it weren’t for the hunger in his stomach waking him up, he might have continued to immerse himself.
“Is this a skill from the Cultivation World? Channeling the spirit power within the body, forming hand seals, and casting spells can produce various miraculous effects.”
As the method of casting the Spirit Rain Skill flashed in his mind, He Song sighed in admiration, his body unconsciously channeling the spirit power within him and began forming hand seals.`,
It was a subconscious action.
Just like a child who had just received a new toy and wanted to try it out.
Learning a new skill in just half a day was impossible for ordinary cultivators.
Even though the Spirit Rain Skill was simple, for a first-tier Qi Refining cultivator to cast it perfectly, it would still take ten days to half a month of practice.
However, in the next moment,
He Song felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
When he looked up, he was shocked.
At this moment, a tiny cloud, similar to a mist, was floating quietly above He Song’s head.
As He Song’s gaze swept across, wisps of moisture began to diffuse from the tiny cloud above his head.
When the first drop of Spirit Rain fell from the cloud onto He Song’s face, he was awakened once again.
This is the Spirit Rain Skill!
Although the cloud above his head was tiny, the spirit power it contained was genuine.
It was just that since it was He Song’s first time casting it, and he wasn’t proficient, the cloud formed by the skill was extremely small.
But, Spirit Rain Skill is still Spirit Rain Skill!
Once it’s cast, it means that he has entered the door. All he needed to do next was to practice slowly, and he would soon be able to cast the normal Spirit Rain Skill that could cover several acres of spirit fields.
The tiny cloud created by the Spirit Rain Skill above his head quickly dissipated.
But He Song’s heart was filled with intense excitement.
