"There are actually three entries!"
I originally thought it was just an ordinary hoe.
But I never expected that there would be three entries inside.
One offensive entry and two auxiliary entries; the two auxiliary entries, in particular, are the most useful to me. To say nothing else, with these two entries, farming will be much more comfortable.
At the very least, there won't be any situations where I accidentally weed out the spirit rice as if it were a weed.
"Equip!"
Holding the spirit hoe, Zhang Yan immediately equipped it without hesitation.
After equipping it.
A skill transmission jade slip appeared in his hand again.
"Can I only have one piece of equipment at a time?"
Seeing the skill transmission jade slip in his hand, Zhang Yan understood.
"Equip!"
He wanted to switch his equipment.
To equip the skill transmission jade slip.
But unfortunately, the skill transmission jade slip remained in his hand.
"In other words, there is a cooldown time for switching equipment."
"I just don't know exactly how long it is."
"But I equipped the skill transmission jade slip yesterday, and I can switch to the spirit hoe today, so the cooldown time definitely won't exceed one day."
Zhang Yan thought for a moment.
Although this golden finger has limitations, it is acceptable.
Switching between the spirit hoe and the skill transmission jade slip can now satisfy his daily cultivation and work.
Looking at the large expanse of spirit fields.
Zhang Yan did not hesitate any longer and began to weed.
Although the spirit hoe was equipped in his equipment slot.
Because of the blessing of the sharpness characteristic, Zhang Yan could weed with ease.
When he encountered weeds, he cut them off directly at the roots.
In any case, Elder Lin only asked for them to be cut off, not pulled out by the roots.
The roots of these weeds were too deep.
It was almost impossible to pull them out by the roots.
He could only weed over and over again; this was completely a labor-intensive job.
But Zhang Yan did not complain, instead working hard to weed.
When the Golden Crow set in the west and the sky grew dark, he finally stopped his movements.
Zhang Yan had only managed to clear five mu of spirit fields.
Elder Lin had contracted 100 mu of spirit fields in total, so it would take him 20 days to finish weeding all of them.
And after one cycle, new weeds would grow in the first fields he had cleared.
"I still have to find a way to speed up the weeding pace."
Zhang Yan sighed; otherwise, if he had to weed every day, he would have no time to do anything else.
After Elder Lin came to inspect the work.
Zhang Yan returned to the spirit plant garden with him.
"I didn't expect you kid to be quite capable!" Upon arriving at the spirit plant garden, Elder Lin's expression was good.
After all, this was Zhang Yan's first time working.
He had thought Zhang Yan would need a few days to get used to it.
He didn't expect that on the first day of work, Zhang Yan would weed five mu of land all by himself!
And what was rare was that all the weeds inside were cleared, and he hadn't accidentally damaged the spirit rice.
"You kid have a talent for cultivation!
Maybe you can become a spirit plant master!"
Elder Lin patted Zhang Yan on the shoulder and said earnestly.
Cultivation is not just about fighting and killing; it is also about social graces and a new set of social relationships.
If an ordinary person wants to survive in the cultivation world, they must master a skill.
This is the so-called hundred arts of cultivation.
Among them, the most famous are pill refining, artifact refining, formations, and talismans.
However, these four are known as the upper four arts.
The requirements are strict.
Not only do they require talent, but they also require inheritance and sufficient resources to learn.
This is not something that ordinary cultivators can covet.
Only those from noble families and genius disciples have the qualifications to learn them.
It is no exaggeration to say that if you master any one of the upper four arts, you don't necessarily have to walk sideways in the cultivation world, but no matter where you go, you will be respected by others.
A spirit plant master is also one of the hundred arts of cultivation.
They mainly study the planting and nurturing of spirit plants.
Low-level spirit plant masters who have not yet entered the door mainly plant spirit rice, while those who have entered the door mainly cultivate spirit medicine and spirit trees.
Although the treatment of a spirit plant master is not as good as the upper four arts like pill refining and artifact refining.
But it has the advantage of being stable, ensuring a harvest regardless of drought or flood, and for ordinary cultivators, it counts as a decent skill.
If one can cultivate a new type of spirit plant, one can also make a fortune.
Although Zhang Yan dislikes farming.
Without a better path, he can only learn a trade first.
What's more, he possesses an equipment slot.
With the spirit hoe given by Elder Lin, the spirit plant nurturing minor accomplishment and spirit plant identification inside can allow him to quickly enter the door and become a spirit plant master.
"If you become a spirit plant master, you can be like me, own your own spirit plant garden, and then recruit disciples and contract a large number of spirit fields," Elder Lin said to Zhang Yan while stroking his sparse beard.
"This kid is dull, so I will need Elder Lin's guidance in the future."
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Elder Lin also liked a disciple as sensible as Zhang Yan.
Especially since this kid didn't slack off when working for him, which really saved him a lot of worry.
Elder Lin and Zhang Yan exchanged a few more words, and after they both ate, Zhang Yan returned to his room to prepare to start cultivating.
Although becoming a spirit plant master is very tempting.
Zhang Yan knows that cultivation level is the key to himself.
"Switch!"
As his voice fell, the skill transmission jade slip in his hand disappeared, and a spirit hoe appeared in its place.
"Does it take about six shichen to switch?"
He estimated the time.
Zhang Yan nodded gently; although this time was not short, it would not affect his cultivation.
Thinking of this, he immediately began to cultivate.
..
Just like that.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
During these two months, apart from cultivating, he was weeding the spirit fields, and he had lost a lot of weight.
On this day.
Zhang Yan was still cultivating.
Sitting cross-legged on the meditation cushion, the surrounding spiritual energy was constantly being absorbed into his body.
The thread-like spiritual energy in his body moved and impacted along the established route.
Suddenly.
The spiritual energy surged like a tide, rushing toward an acupoint.
"Puff~"
A faint sound rang out.
A crack actually appeared on that acupoint.
"It's about to break!"
Zhang Yan's consciousness shook, and he quickly gathered spiritual energy to continuously wash over the acupoint.
As he impacted it, the cracks on the acupoint grew more numerous, and finally, the sturdy barrier collapsed like a dam breaking. His spiritual energy surged in like a tide, circulated through a spirit vein, and finally entered his dantian.
"Finally, I succeeded!"
He opened his eyes.
He exhaled a breath of turbid air fiercely.
Zhang Yan showed an excited expression.
After two months of cultivation, he finally broke through the barrier of the Qi Refining Stage, entered Qi Refining Layer 1, officially became a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, and officially became a cultivator!
"And I can finally learn spells in the future." He had long coveted spells; although he had spiritual energy before, he hadn't opened a single spirit vein, so he naturally couldn't cast them.
But now, he had finally reached the Qi Refining Stage and could cast spells!
"And besides that, officially becoming a Qi Refining Stage cultivator means that I can collect the sect's benefits!"
