My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Sword Pill Eliminates Pests, Lin Ante Comes to Seek

Xu Changqing originally planned to use the remaining spirit rice to brew spirit rice wine.

Unexpectedly, the plan was ruined by these “winter awakening bugs”.

I had already given Hu Bugui twenty catties of spirit rice.

Adding what I’ve consumed during this period, I only have 60 pounds left.

Now, they have to send out fifty catties in one go, even if it’s just first-grade spiritual rice.

This is also a considerable loss for him.

After all, the spirit rice still has at least another month before it can be harvested.

Looking at the dense swarm of yellowish-brown insects in front of me.

Xu Changqing didn’t even have the mind to cultivate.

We just stared at each other helplessly.

Just then, the talisman in my hand suddenly vibrated.

Then a faint light appeared.

“It’s lit up!” Xu Changqing exclaimed in surprise.

I went to the Core Management Office this morning to post a task.

Unexpectedly, someone took on the pest control task at noon.

I don’t know what kind of spiritual root it is.

If it is a water spirit root, it can both kill insects and nourish the spirit rice.

As afternoon approached, the talisman began to flash faster and faster.

This means that the person who takes on the pest control task should be in the vicinity.

Xu Changqing hurriedly went to the edge of the field and waited patiently.

Before long, a thin man approached.

The other person was holding a constantly flashing talisman.

This is clearly the person who received the pest control assignment.

Xu Changqing squinted and looked at the other person’s chest.

The imagined water ripple pattern did not appear.

Instead, it was an upside-down golden sword.

This means that the person who came was not a disciple with the water elemental root, but a disciple with the metal elemental root.

The metal element is associated with killing and warfare.

Even in the early stages of Qi Refining, he possessed considerable combat power.

As soon as the man approached, Xu Changqing felt like he was being pricked by thorns, and was very uncomfortable.

There’s no way around it; the wood elemental root is countered by the metal and fire elemental roots, and its instinct will produce a rejection reaction.

Luo Zhao looked him up and down and asked, “Are you Fellow Daoist Xu who issued the pest control task?”

Xu Changqing nodded: “Yes.”

Luo Zhao waved the constantly flashing talisman in his hand and teased, “Your place is really remote.”

“I like peace and quiet,” Xu Changqing explained with a smile.

Luo Zhao continued, “Before you kill the insects, let me take a look at the spirit rice.”

“Why?” Xu Changqing’s smile faded, and his expression became puzzled.

Luo Zhao said with a wry smile, “I’ve been owed money so many times, so I’m a bit…helpless.”

“I see.” Xu Changqing suddenly realized.

Without hesitation, he immediately took out the spirit rice from the small storage bag.

After confirming that everything was correct, Luo Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and a friendly smile appeared on his face: “My name is Luo Zhao, and I am a disciple with a golden spiritual root from [Weapon Forging Peak].”

Xu Changqing asked with slight surprise, “The [Weapon Forging Peak] that forges spiritual weapons and magical artifacts?”

“That’s right,” Luo Zhao affirmed.

Xu Changqing couldn’t help but say, “Aren’t you guys quite busy?”

“I’m just an apprentice,” Luo Zhao said, shrugging his shoulders.

Xu Changqing blinked: “Then can I buy a magical artifact from you?”

Since he started planting in the second-grade spirit fields, he discovered that ordinary farming tools were no longer effective.

If it weren’t for the lack of spirit rice and spirit stones, I would have wanted to buy a set of spirit artifacts long ago.

“I’m not qualified to sell, but I can help you find someone to sell to.” Luo Zhao waved his hand.

“Let’s talk about it later.” Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing decided not to waste any more time.

“Okay.” Luo Zhao didn’t waste any more words.

With a flick of his wrist, a white sphere flew out of his sleeve.

The spiritual energy within his body was continuously poured into it.

Immediately, Xu Changqing saw the sphere light up.

It emitted a white halo.

At the same time, a sharp and piercing aura permeated the air.

Luo Zhao seized the opportunity and swung the weapon at the spirit field in front of him.

With a whoosh, the white sphere flew over.

It releases a faint trace of platinum energy through splashing.

A “plop” sound kept coming from wherever it went.

Xu Changqing was shocked to discover that the yellowish-brown “winter awakening insects” were on the spirit rice.

They were all chopped up.

One after another, they died without even a chance to struggle.

In no time, one-third of the area was cleared.

The spirit rice, however, was completely unharmed, without a single scratch.

This shows that Luo Zhao has a very strong sense of control.

“What is this thing?” Xu Changqing stared wide-eyed.

Luo Zhao’s voice rang out: “This is called a sword pellet.”

“Sword pellet?” Xu Changqing asked, his eyes filled with inquiry.

Luo Zhao immediately explained, “We formal disciples who awaken the Golden Spirit Root will all receive a Xuan Tie Sword Pill, which we must nurture with our own spiritual power every day. If I don’t come out to earn extra money, I simply can’t afford to nurture it.”

Xu Changqing immediately understood.

It seems that different spiritual roots bring different troubles.

Although wood spirit roots are not suitable for combat, at least they have decent resources.

After comparing them like this, I immediately felt much better.

Before they knew it, it was evening.

Luo Zhao used up almost all his spiritual power to clean up the insects in the spirit field.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Luo.” Xu Changqing quickly cupped his hands in thanks.

Luo Zhao handed over a talisman and said, “Don’t be shy. If you need help next time, just use this communication talisman to contact me.”

“Okay.” Xu Changqing took it.

“I’m leaving.” Luo Zhao put fifty catties of first-grade spirit rice into his small storage bag, then turned and left.

Xu Changqing watched the other person walk further and further away.

Then he turned his attention back to his own second-grade spirit field.

Actually, dealing with these insects is not difficult at all.

If you have a metal or water spiritual root, you don’t even need to ask outsiders for help.

It wouldn’t consume that much spirit rice.

At this moment, he became even more eager for the other spiritual roots.

“Fellow Daoist Xu!” Suddenly, a voice called out from afar.

“Fellow Daoist Luo… um?” Xu Changqing thought it was Luo Zhao who had returned, but it turned out not to be.

He’s someone I know.

who?

Lin An!

Those who become formal disciples at the same time as you.

The other person came running up, panting, their face covered in sweat.

Lin An complained, “Fellow Daoist Xu, I’ve been looking for you for ages!”

Xu Changqing looked at the other person with a surprised expression: “Do you need something?”

Lin An was about to explain when he was drawn to the spiritual rice in front of him.

The entire Grade 2 spirit field was covered with crops, presenting a prosperous scene.

These rice plants are very robust, with each ear of rice full of plump grains.

It’s obvious at a glance that the quality is high, and the production volume is also high.

Xu Changqing spoke up, reminding him, “What do you want from me?”

“Yes.” Lin An then came to his senses and said, “Tomorrow, a Foundation Establishment stage senior brother needs help harvesting spiritual plants. I’ve already notified Zhao Ziyao. Do you want to come along?”

“Harvesting?!” Xu Changqing’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

The spiritual plants cultivated by Foundation Establishment disciples are absolutely extraordinary.

It might bring you unexpected benefits.

Lin An continued, “I won’t help for nothing. I’ll be rewarded with ten catties of second-grade spirit rice afterward.”

Xu Changqing couldn’t help but press, “How many days?”

Lin An pondered for a moment: “One mu of second-grade spirit land per person should be achievable in a day, right?”

“I’ll take it.” Xu Changqing agreed with a smile, “It’s not because of the reward of ten catties of second-grade spirit rice, but because I can’t let you down since you’ve come all this way to find me.”

“Hahaha!” Lin An was immediately in a good mood and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Don’t leave either, let’s go together tomorrow.” Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Changqing pulled the other person towards his wooden house.

“This friend was worth making.” Lin An felt a little touched.
