My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Going out to collect spring seedlings, recommending four-leaf clovers.

As the days went by, the winter snow began to melt.

The temperature is getting lower and lower.

The little ones are too cold to leave their nest.

“You stay home and rest, I’m going to get the spring seedlings.” Xu Changqing didn’t care whether it understood or not, and after saying that, he opened the door and walked towards the [Core Management Office].

With only a few days left until spring, the necessary steps cannot be skipped.

Normally, it takes about half an hour to get to the [Core Management Office].

However, the thawing issue made the roads difficult to navigate.

It took a full hour to arrive this time.

“If all else fails, let’s buy a paper crane first.” Xu Changqing stood on the steps, wiping the mud off the soles of his feet with a look of disgust before stepping into the hall.

Because it was still early, there weren’t many disciples.

Regardless of gender, they were all disciples with the Wood Spirit Root.

“Manager!” Xu Changqing greeted him respectfully as he stepped forward.

“You’ve arrived.” Old Hua recognized him quickly this time.

Xu Changqing nodded and said, “I’ve come to collect this year’s spring seedlings.”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Hua said with great satisfaction, “It’s good to be diligent.”

In his view, if one’s aptitude is lacking and one’s comprehension is average, then…

The only way is to shorten the innate gap between oneself and others through hard work.

It greatly admires people like Xu Changqing.

Last winter, even knowing that production would be reduced, we still insisted on planting.

It can even grow superb quality rice.

He is both talented and extremely hardworking, which is truly commendable.

Even before the New Year is over, people are coming early in the morning to collect spring seedlings.

Xu Changqing asked, “May I ask the steward, what if I want to plant other spiritual plants?”

Elder Hua countered, “Have you reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining?”

Xu Changqing was taken aback for a moment, then replied, “It’s still a few strands of spiritual energy short.”

Elder Hua then asked, “Which level of the Evergreen Technique?”

Xu Changqing frowned slightly. Being able to grow top-grade spirit rice meant it couldn’t be just one level, so he replied, “The third level.”

Elder Hua shook his head: “Although the cultivation technique is of a good level, your cultivation realm is too low. I suggest you continue planting spirit rice.”

Anyone who reaches the middle stage of Qi Refining.

You can exchange them for other spiritual plants here.

However, Old Man Hua was unaware of this.

The person before me had already reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Now we’re just one step away from the later stages.

Even the Evergreen Technique isn’t just three levels, but a “five-level” technique that’s hard to find anyone who can match it.

“Uh,” Xu Changqing said helplessly.

Hua Lao said meaningfully, “Here, I can only act according to the rules. Whatever level you reach, that’s the kind of spiritual plant you can exchange for.”

Xu Changqing blinked: “What if I buy seeds from other spirit farmers?”

Old Hua turned his face away: “I don’t care about this, and I can’t control it.”

Xu Changqing’s eyes lit up immediately.

Clearly, Mr. Hua made his point very clearly.

Here, you can only follow the rules of the Dongting Immortal Sect.

But this will not prevent Lunnon from trading in private.

In other words, all you need to do is complete the annual tasks.

As for where the seedlings and seeds came from…

In reality, those above don’t care at all.

Hua Lao turned his face again: “Let me remind you again, exchanging for spirit seedlings is free, but if you exchange them for other spirit plants, you will have to deduct points.”

The rarer and more valuable something is, the more points it consumes.

Most spiritual plant seeds on the market can be traded privately.

However, the higher quality items are almost all controlled by the Dongting Immortal Sect.

Private transactions are not allowed.

They even forbade ordinary disciples from planting.

For example, outer disciples can only grow spirit rice.

Formal disciples, apart from those who cultivate spiritual rice, will progress as their cultivation realm and skill level increase.

You can unlock more spiritual plants step by step, but they are mostly common types.

Only those who reach the core disciple level can cultivate extremely rare and high-quality spiritual plants.

“Understood.” Xu Changqing couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

No wonder the five major powers monopolize resources.

It turns out that if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too.

From the management level of the Immortal Sect down to the middle and lower levels.

Layer upon layer of monopoly, layer upon layer of exploitation.

He controlled almost all the resources for cultivating immortality.

If you want to gain more, you can only improve your cultivation realm and technique level.

Even class status.

Soon, Xu Changqing had collected all the spring seedlings for this year.

However, after descending the mountain, he did not head towards the remote spiritual field where he was located.

Instead, after going around in circles, he ended up at the door of Zhang Su, a formal disciple.

Xu Changqing called out into the room, “Is Senior Brother Zhang there?”

Not long after, a female disciple with a water elemental root walked out of the house directly opposite.

Xu Changqing cupped his hands in greeting: “Fellow Daoist!”

The female disciple with the water elemental root looked him over and asked, “What do you want with Senior Brother Zhang?”

Xu Changqing chuckled and said, “I’ve come to offer my New Year’s greetings.”

The female disciple with the water elemental root nodded slightly: “Please wait a moment.”

“Hahaha… Junior Brother Xu!” After about two or three minutes, Zhang Su walked out of the house laughing.

“Senior Brother Zhang!” Xu Changqing quickly bowed and greeted him.

Zhang Su smiled and asked, “It’s not harvest time yet, why have you come looking for me, Junior Brother?”

Xu Changqing understood the meaning behind the other party’s words, and explained, “There were too many people a few days ago, so I didn’t dare to disturb you. I could only come to wish my senior brother a Happy New Year when there were fewer people.”

Hearing this, Zhang Su’s smile grew even brighter: “It’s good that you have this thought. Come in!”

Only then did he open the fence gate.

The two then entered the house step by step.

After sitting down, Zhang Su called out, “Come on—serve tea for my junior brother Xu!”

My dear reader, there’s more to reading—even more exciting content awaits!

Xu Changqing looked around the room with curiosity and found it to be quite luxurious.

The walls are covered with various valuable calligraphy and paintings.

Even the meditation cushions used for cultivation were made of spirit stones.

Soon, the female disciple with the water elemental root who had appeared earlier brought over two cups of hot tea.

This tea is also quite special.

It was permeated with a faint spiritual aura.

Zhang Su asked with a smile, “Junior Brother Xu, how is this tea?”

“Good tea.” Xu Changqing took a small sip: “It has a sweet aftertaste and a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth. The spiritual energy contained within it even touches my spiritual power.”

Zhang Su said with considerable pride, “Of course, this is a century-old flower and tree tea.”

Xu Changqing said with a hint of envy, “Senior brother really knows how to enjoy life.”

Zhang Su put down her teacup, leaned back with her bulky body, and said lazily, “Cultivating immortality is no different from being a human. You should eat, drink, and enjoy life as you please.”

Xu Changqing wholeheartedly agreed: “My senior brother has a clear understanding of life.”

Zhang Su squinted and stared at Xu Changqing for a long time before asking, “Junior Brother Xu, you’ve paid your respects for the New Year. Is there anything else?”

As the saying goes, one doesn’t visit a temple without a reason.

Moreover, this is a formal disciple who has only recently joined the core.

He was prepared to borrow rice or spirit stones.

Xu Changqing hesitated for a moment before saying, “Junior brother wants to buy some seeds, but he doesn’t have any channels, so he can only bother senior brother.”

Zhang Su looked slightly surprised: “So you wanted to buy seeds!”

“Otherwise what?” Xu Changqing shrugged matter-of-factly.

“It’s nothing.” Zhang Su waved his hand slightly awkwardly, then asked, “I wonder what type of seeds or spirit seedlings Junior Brother would like?”

Xu Changqing shook his head: “I’m not quite sure which seeds or seedlings to choose either.”

Zhang Su then asked, “Junior Brother, what is your cultivation level? How many levels have you reached in your cultivation technique?”

“Approaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining.” Xu Changqing paused for a moment, then continued, “The Changqing Technique is currently at the third level.”

“The third level of the Evergreen Technique?” Zhang Su was quite surprised by this.

After all, once you become a full member, you can learn the more advanced [Wood Spirit Cultivation Technique].

Few people have elevated the Evergreen Secret to such a level.

This junior brother in front of me really has perseverance.

Therefore, Zhang Su thoughtfully stroked the stubble on his chin: “My cultivation level is a bit low, so there aren’t many seeds and spiritual seedlings I can choose from.”

Considering it’s springtime, my senior recommends four-leaf clovers.

“Four-leaf clover?” Xu Changqing had never heard of it before, so he was quite bewildered.

Zhang Su then explained, “This four-leaf clover is slightly more advanced than spirit rice, barely matching your current cultivation realm and technique level.”

Of course, the most important thing is that the price isn’t expensive.

Xu Changqing quickly asked, “How much?”

“Senior brother, you happen to have a batch here. It only costs ten low-grade spirit stones.” Zhang Su took out a large storage bag and quickly took out the seeds of the [Four-Leaf Clover].

Upon closer inspection, Xu Changqing discovered that these seeds were extremely small.

Some of them were even extremely shriveled.

Zhang Su curled the corners of her lips: “Let me make it clear beforehand, this batch of four-leaf clover seeds has been stored for many years. How many you can grow depends entirely on your own skill and luck.”

Xu Changqing pretended to think about it.

Zhang Su did not urge him.

We drank tea while waiting.

Xu Changqing nodded after a while: “Junior brother wants to give it a try!”

“Very good.” Zhang Su said with great satisfaction, “If you can really grow it, your senior brother is willing to buy it all at the current market price.”
