“Junior Brother Chen, have you ever studied the heritage of spiritual plants?”

“Never, I’ve just been interested in farming since I was a child.”

At the edge of a spiritual field in the Giant Wood Ridge, Chen Mobai was conversing with two disciples from the Spiritual Plant Division of the Shenmu Sect. In front of them was a three-acre field of mature Jade Bud Spiritual Rice.

The air was filled with a refreshing aroma of rice.

Looking around, all they could see was a sea of golden rice.

The plump rice ears hung down naturally like nuggets of gold, forming perfect curves. With the gentle breeze blowing through the woods, they swayed back and forth like golden waves.

This scene of harvest satisfied the two disciples from the Shenmu Sect who came to inspect the yield of the spiritual field.

One of the disciples picked a rice ear, feeling the fullness of the grains inside the husk, and couldn’t help but smile.

“Senior Brother Chen, would you like to join our Spiritual Plant Division?”

“Well, I enjoy farming, and the Jade Bud Spiritual Rice in the other seven acres of spiritual fields here is about to mature. I can’t leave for fear of pests.”

Chen Mobai’s only goal in joining the Shenmu Sect now was the Foundation Establishment Pill, and he didn’t want to waste time elsewhere.

“Junior Brother Chen, rest assured, our Spiritual Plant Division doesn’t have those roll calls, and it’s quite free after joining.”

“Moreover, as long as you are a disciple of our Spiritual Plant Division, you can get the heritage of spiritual value from the Book Pavilion for free.”

“Every year, there is also a supply of one hundred spirit stones, which can be added to the sect’s benefits.”

After hearing these words from Brother Lu Jun, Chen Mobai was somewhat tempted. He wasn’t interested in the heritage of spiritual value, as the Immortal Gate had better ones.

The key was the extra income of one hundred spirit stones every year.

Although he was now quite wealthy with thousands of spirit stones, no one would ever think they had too many.

“Brother Lu, besides the benefits, does the Spiritual Plant Division have any other tasks?”

Chen Mobai decided it was better to ask clearly first, after all, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

“Occasionally, when there are problems with the spiritual fields or medicinal fields in the sect, we need the disciples of the Spiritual Plant Division to solve them. With your farming skills, Junior Brother, I dare say you are the best in the entire Spiritual Plant Division.”

Lu Jun’s words were very clear. He admired Chen Mobai’s farming skills and wanted him to guide other disciples in the sect to see if they could increase their yield.

“Well, I’m at a critical point in my cultivation and may not be able to be distracted.”

If it was just guiding one or two people, Chen Mobai could accept it. But if he had to go around the entire Shenmu Sect, he would respectfully decline.

“Junior Brother Chen, you should think about it.”

Lu Jun just mentioned it casually. Since Chen Mobai wasn’t very interested, he didn’t say much more.

“Junior Brother Teng, let’s harvest these three acres of Jade Bud Spiritual Rice.”

Lu Jun and another disciple from the Spiritual Plant Division took out two sickles and began to harvest the mature spiritual field with their magical tools.

Disciples of the Shenmu Sect could claim spiritual fields for cultivation, and receive rice seeds and formations, but when it came time to harvest, the Spiritual Plant Division had to do it.

At that time, the Spiritual Plant Division would settle the contribution points to the sect based on the yield.

Lu Jun and the other disciple seemed to do this often, and they were very quick. They finished in just two hours.

However, Chen Mobai still thought they were too slow. If he could use the harvester from the Earth Element Star, he could finish harvesting these three acres in half an hour by himself.

“A total of 458 jin, with a yield of 150 jin per acre, has already broken the sect’s record.”

After weighing, another disciple from the Spiritual Plant Division named Teng Jie was shocked.

The market price of this Jade Bud Spiritual Rice was ten jin for a lower-grade spirit stone, which meant that the three acres harvested here, plus the seven acres about to mature, would yield 150 spirit stones.

And what did the Shenmu Sect give?

Just some worthless rice seeds and a lower-grade first-order Qingguang Formation.

The Qingguang Formation was worth 50 spirit stones, but it still belonged to the Spiritual Plant Division, and they could take it back at any time.

In other words, they only paid a few spirit stones for the cost of the rice seeds.

This person was born for their Spiritual Plant Division.

The two looked at each other, and Lu Jun, who had casually invited Chen Mobai to join the Spiritual Plant Division, felt that his attitude might not have been sincere enough.

“Junior Brother, did you open up these seven acres of spiritual fields yourself?”

Since the claim procedure only covered three acres, theoretically, the crops in the remaining seven acres of spiritual fields belonged to Chen Mobai.

Lu Jun remembered this clearly because he was the one who came to harvest the three acres of spiritual fields last time, but the yield was average, only 80 jin per acre.

“Indeed, farming is only busy during the sowing season. The rest of the time, I just use the Spirit Needle Technique to kill pests and water the fields. When I have free time from cultivation, I take a hoe and open up the nearby wasteland, which also supplements my cultivation.”

Chen Mobai answered truthfully.

The Shenmu Sect’s Spiritual Plant Division controlled thousands of acres of medicinal fields on the Giant Wood Ridge, so how could they covet his small seven acres of spiritual fields?

But he didn’t realize that while the Spiritual Plant Division managed thousands of acres of medicinal fields and focused most of their energy on spiritual herbs, they had abandoned hundreds of acres of spiritual fields due to lack of manpower.

If these deserted spiritual fields could be managed by Junior Brother Chen, even if he only planted the most basic Jade Bud Spiritual Rice, they could harvest thousands of spirit stones a year.

After deducting the contribution to the three major halls of the sect, their Spiritual Plant Division could still get half.Even after being stripped layer by layer, they, as disciples, could at least get a few dozen pieces.

This farming genius must be in their Spirit Plant Department.

“Junior Brother Chen, we’ve been harvesting for half a day and are a bit thirsty. Could we ask for a cup of water?”

Just as Chen Mobai was wondering why these two hadn’t left yet, Lu Jun suddenly touched his forehead, pretending to be sweaty, and asked for water.

“Please.”

Chen Mobai immediately scooped two large bowls of water from the big water jar at the door for them.

“Junior Brother Chen, I’ll just tell it like it is. A talent like you must join our Spirit Plant Department. If the Sect Leader finds out, he will definitely blame us, the department heads, for abandoning a talent.”

“Whatever you request, feel free to tell me. I will fulfill it if I can.”

“If I can’t, I can apply to the department head.”

After hearing Lu Jun’s sincere words, Chen Mobai was a bit puzzled. Was he so popular just because he was good at farming?

But since they had said so, he might as well make a request.

“I want a Foundation Establishment Pill.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun almost choked.

Not to mention him, even the three Foundation Establishment elders of the Spirit Plant Department probably couldn’t promise this.

“Junior Brother Chen, if you want a Foundation Establishment Pill, then you should join our Spirit Plant Department even more.”

Just as Lu Jun was shaking his head and preparing to leave, Teng Jie suddenly spoke up on the side.
