"I need to see what this Spirit Field is suitable for planting."
Zhang Yan did not plant the Spirit Medicine immediately; instead, he first built a thatched cottage in the valley.
If nothing unexpected happens, this will be his base.
Then, he carefully observed this valley.
Although the valley is large, many areas are not Spirit Fields but just ordinary land. There are not many places that can be called Spirit Fields, only a small patch.
According to the Sect Affairs Hall, this valley is a newly opened Spirit Field.
No one has planted here yet.
Zhang Yan counts as one of the first to come and plant.
This has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that this area of Spirit Field is relatively fertile and rich in Spiritual Energy.
The disadvantage is that no one knows what this Spirit Field is suitable for planting. One can only judge based on their own experience.
Regarding this, Zhang Yan had long been prepared. He equipped his Spirit Hoe and began to carefully investigate the Spirit Field.
"These hundred mu are suitable for planting Spirit Rice, and these twenty mu have slightly denser Spiritual Energy; I feel I can plant some Spirit Medicine here."
..
Soon.
Zhang Yan had planned out exactly what should be planted where.
After finishing the investigation, he took another stroll around the valley.
To his surprise.
He actually discovered another large piece of land containing Spiritual Energy.
This piece of land, roughly estimated, must be over three hundred mu.
However, the Spiritual Energy in these three hundred-plus mu is relatively low, so it does not count as a Spirit Field and would not be registered by the Sect at all.
But, just because the Sect doesn't value it doesn't mean it's useless.
"This large area of Semi-Spirit Field can be used to plant some Half-Spirit Grass or Big Leaf Vine." Zhang Yan already had a plan in mind for these three hundred mu of Spirit Field.
Half-Spirit Grass is actually a type of weed containing Spiritual Energy; apart from being used as forage for Spirit Beasts, it has no higher value.
As for Big Leaf Vine, it is a plant that can be used to make materials for Talisman Paper. Its grade is very low, but its advantage is that it is easy to raise. You only need to scatter the seeds, and it will grow on its own without needing careful tending.
These Semi-Spirit Fields are very suitable for Big Leaf Vine and Half-Spirit Grass. Although they don't earn many Spirit Stones, there is no need to pay rent to the Sect, nor is there a need for meticulous care, so it is very cost-effective.
The planning was complete.
Zhang Yan immediately began to take action.
He first had to reclaim the two hundred mu of Spirit Field.
"It's a pity that I don't know any Earth-type Spells." Zhang Yan sighed. If he knew Earth-type Spells, the reclamation would be much faster.
But it doesn't matter. Although he doesn't know Earth-type Spells, his Spirit Hoe has the Sharpness entry, and his Golden Bamboo Sword also has the Sharpness entry.
He equipped both of them directly.
He began to till the land, and the originally firm soil was easily dug open.
He could even occasionally unleash the Sword Qi carried by the Golden Bamboo Sword.
With one strike of Sword Qi, a hundred-meter-long stretch of land was turned over.
"Using the Golden Bamboo Sword's Sword Qi to till the land is just too useful!"
After another strike of Sword Qi, Zhang Yan looked at the turned-over ground with great satisfaction.
If others knew he was using a Flying Sword to farm, who knows how many would be scratching their heads. One must know that Flying Sword-type Magic Artifacts are considered quite expensive among the many Magic Artifacts.
A normal Low-grade Magic Artifact might be bought for twenty or thirty Spirit Stones.
But a Flying Sword-type Magic Artifact costs at least fifty Spirit Stones at the very least.
The main reason for this is that a Flying Sword is versatile enough.
It can attack, defend, and even serve as a Flying Artifact.
Precisely because of this, whenever a Cultivator obtains a Flying Sword, they must maintain it carefully, fearing any problems, yet now Zhang Yan is using it to farm!
One can only say...
The joy of farming is something others simply cannot experience.
After all the Spirit Fields were reclaimed.
Zhang Yan began to sow the seeds.
For the place where he planted Spirit Rice, he used Wang Ping's Spirit Rice Seeds directly.
He had observed these seeds; each grain was much fuller than normal Spirit Rice seeds, and even the Spiritual Energy within them was stronger.
He believed that with such seeds, the harvest would surely be greater.
After planting the Spirit Rice, Zhang Yan began to plant the Spirit Medicine.
Most of the Spirit Medicine seeds he had here were low-grade Spirit Medicine.
Only some seeds given by Mu Sen were of higher quality.
But he did not plant them.
There were two reasons.
First, the Spiritual Energy of these Spirit Fields was insufficient.
Second, although high-grade Spirit Medicine is expensive, its maturation period is too long, often taking several years, and he did not have that much time to wait.
In summary.
It is better to stick with things like Spirit Rice, which has three to four harvests a year, and low-grade Spirit Medicine that matures once a year, as they are more suitable for him.
At the very least, they allow him to quickly obtain Spirit Stones.
After planting all the low-grade Spirit Medicine seeds again, Zhang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he took out the Quiet Rain Floating Dust.
Although this Quiet Rain Floating Dust is only a low-grade Magic Artifact.
Its effects are quite significant.
After activating it, a dark cloud immediately formed in the sky.
The area of the dark cloud was not large, only about a dozen square meters.
But as his Magic Power continuously poured in.
In the end, it could barely cover one mu of Spirit Field.
"Go!"
Zhang Yan gave a low shout.
Electric light flickered faintly within the dark cloud.
The water vapor accumulated more and more, and finally, the water vapor in the dark cloud reached a critical value, condensing into a drop of rain that fell to the ground with a 'patter'.
The rain condensed faster and faster, and within three or four breaths, the scattered raindrops turned into a continuous stream of fine lines.
The fine, light rain moistened the Spirit Field below.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Yan had to exclaim that spells are indeed magical.
Although there was artificial rain in his past life, it was not a hundred percent successful, and if there wasn't much water vapor in the air, it wouldn't work.
But spells are unreasonable; as long as you cast the spell, it will inevitably succeed.
"With the blessing of this Spirit Rain Technique, I believe these Spirit Fields will surely have a good harvest."
Because of the Spiritual Energy in his body, Zhang Yan could only irrigate one mu of Spirit Field with one Spirit Rain Technique.
And including the Semi-Spirit Fields, he had a full five hundred mu!
He would have to irrigate five hundred times!
Therefore, after successfully casting it, he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to recover his Magic Power.
..
Just like that.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
On this day.
Zhang Yan had finished casting the Spirit Rain Technique and was planning to recover his Magic Power.
Suddenly, a flash of Spiritual Light appeared.
He began to circulate his Magic Power to impact his Acupoints.
"Whoosh~"
The Magic Power flowed like surging waves, continuously washing over the Acupoints, and the solid barrier of the Acupoints began to gradually show some cracks under the impact of the Magic Power.
"There's an opportunity!"
Feeling the changes in his Acupoints, Zhang Yan felt a surge of joy.
He had previously discovered that every time he used a spell and exhausted the Magic Power in his Dantian before cultivating, he would make a slight improvement.
And these past few days, he had used spells every day and then cultivated, having already cycled through this process over a hundred times.
Now, it was time for the harvest.
As he continuously increased his efforts, even taking out a Spirit Stone to absorb the Spiritual Energy within, the solid barrier was finally broken through by the vast Magic Power.
At this moment, he had reached the Qi Refining Second Level!
