Chapter 188 – Farming


After returning from Building One, Chen Mobai spent the whole night pondering at home.

In the end, he decided to fully accept Che Yucheng’s guidance.

He glanced at the Qi Refining section of the Pure Yang Scroll on his phone and sighed.

It had to be put aside for now.

However, the Pure Yang Method Body could continue to advance with the help of spirit stones.

Once he made up his mind, his cultivation went very smoothly.

Chen Mobai directly transformed the spiritual power vortex of the Five Elements Technique into the spiritual power of the Longevity Sutra. Within just two months, he had cultivated this technique to the third level of Qi Refining.

He was eager to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, his leave from the Shenmu Sect had come to an end.

After three months of chopping wood in the Bud Hall, they could choose to open their own cave dwellings, or enter the Three Halls and Twelve Departments for further study, earning spirit stones and networking at the same time.

Everyone else was worried about how to get into a good department.

For example, the Pill Refining Department, the Artifact Refining Department, and the Talisman Making Department were the three most popular departments.

As long as you could get in, even as a menial worker, the cost of purchasing necessary cultivation materials would be much cheaper, even at cost price.

But compared to others’ gains and losses, Chen Mobai was calm and composed.

Since being guided by Che Yucheng, he had made up his mind to let go of other distractions and focus on the cultivation of the Longevity Sutra, with Foundation Establishment as his primary goal.

Joining the Three Halls and Twelve Departments was to learn a skill and earn spirit stones for cultivation.

But he didn’t lack ways to make money.

As for networking, Chen Mobai felt that as long as he became strong, he would be the one others needed to network with.

So he didn’t apply to any department. After communicating with Yuan Chiyi, he claimed three acres of spiritual farmland in the sect’s Spiritual Plant Department.

The Shenmu Sect had plenty of spiritual land, so as long as the disciples were willing to cultivate the spiritual fields, the sect would even subsidize contribution points.

Harvesting one pound of spirit rice could earn one sect contribution point.

Generally speaking, one acre of spiritual field matures in a year, and an average harvest of one hundred pounds of spirit rice is considered satisfactory.

In the second year, the sect would continue to give you the spiritual field for free, and you could even claim more acres.

Chen Mobai felt that his elective “Agriculture” in the Dance Instrument Academy could shine here.

“Junior Brother Chen, living in seclusion in the countryside is a good life, but sometimes, cultivation requires competition!”

When packing up to leave the Bud Hall, Yuan Chiyi came to see him off.

Chen Mobai knew that he had always thought highly of him.

He was a direct disciple of E Yun, who had returned to the sect two months ago and lived up to everyone’s expectations by successfully taking the Foundation Establishment Pill.

After Foundation Establishment, E Yun was consolidating his realm, but probably a year later, he would be sent to Dream Swamp to reopen the market that had been destroyed by monsters, to generate revenue for the sect.

This task would undoubtedly require a lot of manpower.

Yuan Chiyi and other Shenmu Sect disciples who had been following E Yun would undoubtedly continue to follow him to Dream Swamp.

Chen Mobai was originally one of the younger generation they had high hopes for. His way of handling things was very satisfactory to Yuan Chiyi after several exchanges. However, his temperament was too indifferent, and at the age of twenty, he was already thinking about retiring to the countryside.

But after all, he had spent some effort cultivating him, so Yuan Chiyi came to persuade him again.

“Senior Brother Yuan, I still have enough spirit stones for now, and I haven’t reached the point where I need to compete. But I will always remember the kindness of you and Senior Brother E. If there is anything I can do in the future, just let me know.”

Chen Mobai also knew that it was E Yun who had helped him escape from the pursuit of the thieves in Nanshan. He remembered this life-saving grace.

“People have their own ambitions. If that’s the case, take care, junior brother.”

Yuan Chiyi didn’t say much more, and gave Chen Mobai a small hoe as a parting gift.

This was a small magical tool for weeding, which seemed to have been used by him.

But Chen Mobai was still very grateful.

“Senior Brother Chen, keep in touch.”

When he left, many new disciples from the Nanshan side came to see him off. Liu Wenbo was still respectful and polite.

“Junior Brother Liu, you handle things very well. After I go to farm, they will be left to you.”

The new disciples from the Nanshan side, who had found their way in the three months when Chen Mobai was in seclusion, had basically left the Bud Hall.

For example, Zhuo Ming, due to her excellent talisman making skills, had become an apprentice in a talisman shop in the sect’s market. While applying to enter the Talisman Making Department, she was also slowly learning and improving herself.

And the rest of the new sect disciples who had no skills other than fighting, all decided to follow Liu Wenbo. The latter also chose to join E Yun and joined the Spirit Beast Department under his operation.

A year later, Liu Wenbo would lead this group of disciples from Nanshan Market to Dream Swamp to open a new market with E Yun.

After Chen Mobai knew this, he immediately gave up his status as the leader of the Nanshan generation. Besides wanting to concentrate on Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment, it was also a bit of help to E Yun.

After the handover was completed, he left with a light heart.

The Giant Tree Ridge was vast and sparsely populated.

Chen Mobai, with a speed talisman attached, traveled for two hours before he arrived at the three acres of spiritual farmland given to him by the sect.This was a spiritual field opened up in the forest. Chen Mobai could still see more than twenty tree stumps that had not been completely removed from the field. The boundary was marked by a ring of uncut Red Sun trees.

After walking around and measuring the spiritual energy with his phone, he found that the core area, a plot of land in the very center, surprisingly had a second-grade inferior spiritual vein.

“What a waste.”

Generally speaking, a second-grade inferior spiritual vein could nourish and open up ten acres of spiritual fields, but here, the Shenmu Sect had only casually cultivated three acres.

Moreover, he didn’t know when the previous claimant had left. The current spiritual field was overgrown with weeds, the distribution of spiritual energy was uneven, and he could even see some snakes, rats, and ants occupying several points where the spiritual energy was strong, showing their fangs and claws.

Chen Mobai directly activated his needle box. Under the dance of the golden needles, all the snakes and rats were killed. Then, at the point where the spiritual energy was the most vigorous, he released a wooden house talisman.

Just as he was about to enter the house, he found that mosquitoes were buzzing and swarming out of the forest, heading towards his wooden house.

“This is a good opportunity to test this magical tool.”

Chen Mobai’s eyes lit up. He took out a pair of white jade bells strung together with a red string from his storage bag and gently shook one of them.

Ding ding dong dong!

The sound waves spread out, and before these mosquitoes could get close, they all fell onto the spiritual field as if they had lost their souls.

After ringing six times, no more insects, ants, or mosquitoes came out from the Red Sun forest.

Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction, then entered the house and closed the door, returning to the Earth Origin Star.

The next day, after the agricultural course at the Dance Instrument Dao Academy ended, Chen Mobai took his notebook and asked the teacher about farming.

“Oh, you want to plant some small things for practice. That’s great, come, let’s go to the academy’s experimental field, and I’ll explain it to you slowly.”

This teacher named Lin Wenkang was a third-grade spiritual plant husband.

Seeing that Chen Mobai, a student who usually lagged behind in grades, suddenly started to work hard, he felt that his teaching had been effective and immediately enthusiastically led the latter out of the classroom.
