My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 23

Chapter 23 A swarm of carp vie for the flowing water; the slow bird must fly first.

As soon as Xu Changqing left, the female disciple with the water elemental root appeared.

She and Zhang Su stood together, watching that receding figure.

“How many people have asked you to borrow spirit stones or spirit rice?”

“Junior Brother Xu has come to buy seeds from me.”

“That’s alright, too many people have been coming to borrow things lately!”

“This is just the beginning; there are still two years until the [Formal Disciple Grand Competition]!”

“My God—are we going to have to live like this for another two years?”

…

The appointed day arrived.

The frozen snow has melted.

Temperatures are gradually rising.

Spring is approaching, and everything is coming back to life.

“Woof woof!”

The little yellow dog was running around wildly on the ridge of the field.

A slightly chilly breeze brushed against Xu Changqing’s face.

Strands of hair swayed back and forth across her forehead.

His gaze remained fixed on the newly sprouting weeds at his feet.

It is said that ducks are the first to know when the river warms in spring.

But these weeds are the “prophets” who know best that spring is coming.

“Woof woof!” The little yellow dog barked twice more, sounding quite shrill.

“Hey—Senior Brother Xu, why are you raising a dog?” Han Su’s voice followed.

Xu Changqing raised his head, looked in the direction of the sound, and smiled, “I raised it during the New Year, but you didn’t see it.”

Han Su scratched his head: “Look at how this little guy is baring his teeth, he won’t bite me, will he?”

Xu Changqing was both amused and exasperated: “You, a disciple with an earth elemental root, have the best defense, yet you’re afraid of being bitten by a dog?”

“Just kidding.” Han Su grinned.

Xu Changqing pointed to the Grade 2 spirit field in front of him and said, “It’s frozen solid. I wonder if you can finish it in one go.”

Han Su nimbly took off his shoes, then stepped onto the frozen black soil, feeling the chilling aura emanating from below, and frowned, saying, “This second-grade spirit field is indeed different from a first-grade spirit field.”

“How is it?” Xu Changqing raised an eyebrow: “If it’s not good enough, we’ll find someone else!”

“Senior Brother Xu is looking down on me. Junior Brother is a formal disciple after all.” Han Su’s expression changed upon hearing this, showing some dissatisfaction.

Xu Changqing replied earnestly, “I only care about output.”

Loosening the soil, fertilizing, raining, and pest control.

This is the same process for almost every planting.

Unfortunately, it is all related to the final output, so it cannot be ignored.

If Han Su hadn’t only collected fifty catties of second-grade spirit rice per quarter, he would have been replaced long ago.

“I will do my best and never let my senior brother down,” Han Su promised through gritted teeth.

“Okay.” Xu Changqing didn’t waste any more words.

Han Su took a deep breath and then activated the [Earth Guidance Technique].

It felt as if a valve had been opened in my body.

The earth’s energy surged in instantly.

But this time was different; it was mixed with an extreme chill.

Bang!

Bang! Bang!

As the ground continued to shake, it felt as if earth dragons were burrowing through the soil.

The black soil, which had been frozen solid, first cracked open.

Then it flips over suddenly, revealing the soft part underneath.

As time went by, most of the soil in Lingtian was loosened.

Strangely, Han Su’s expression became increasingly strange.

Normally, after circulating the [Earth Guidance Technique] for a period of time, the skin will turn yellowish-brown.

But this time it was extremely mottled, with patches of white spots of varying sizes appearing.

After realizing what had happened, Xu Changqing asked with concern, “Are you alright?”

“I…feel…so cold!” Han Su shivered uncontrollably.

Xu Changqing quickly waved his hand: “You should stop and rest first.”

Upon hearing this, Han Su did not stubbornly insist and immediately climbed up the ridge of the field.

The physical condition only improved after the [Earth-Guiding Technique] was interrupted.

Even so, her face still looked terrible.

A faint chill emanated from his body.

“Is it because your magic hasn’t reached the second level?” Xu Changqing guessed.

Han Su was stunned, and after several seconds he asked in shock, “How did you know, Senior Brother?”

Seeing the other party’s reaction, Xu Changqing immediately understood: “Because magic is very important, each level has different or even better effects.”

Take myself as an example.

Different levels of the [Evergreen Technique] have different effects.

Once you reach level five, you will definitely be able to grow top-quality spirit rice.

If that’s the case, then the spells the other party cultivates must be the same.

“Soon.”

Han Su took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and continued, “As long as I reach the mid-stage of Qi Refining, I can go deep into the earth veins again. At that time, with the help of the earth’s energy, I will definitely be able to raise my cultivation of the [Earth Guiding Technique] to the second level.”

This is why he so desperately needs Lingmi.

“Earth veins? Earth energy?” Xu Changqing asked, slightly puzzled.

Seeing this, Han Su explained, “If we disciples with earth spirit roots want to improve our strength, we must repeatedly venture deep into the earth’s veins to find deep earth energy to temper our bodies.”

Xu Changqing exclaimed in surprise, “The body will just become a vessel.”

Han Su revealed a hint of envy in his eyes: “Unlike you wood spirit roots, we earth spirit roots only have two and a half ways to become core disciples.”

First, those with low comprehension can practice body cultivation, absorbing a wisp of yellow energy through their bodies.

Second, those with high comprehension can become array masters, continuously enhancing their spiritual power.

“What about the remaining half?” Xu Changqing asked curiously.

Han Su smiled wryly and said, “I will participate in the [Formal Disciple Grand Competition].”

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing’s lips twitched several times.

The entire Dongting Immortal Sect has tens of thousands of disciples.

The number of formal disciples participating in the [Formal Disciple Competition] is as numerous as carp crossing a river.

Standing out is more than just difficult.

“I have low comprehension, so I can only use the most rudimentary method.” Han Su’s face was full of helplessness.

Xu Changqing reached out and patted his shoulder, comforting him, “With your hard work, you’ll definitely succeed.”

Han Su said wistfully, “I wonder when I’ll be able to absorb even a wisp of yellow energy.”

Xu Changqing asked in surprise, “I’ve only ever heard of Xuanhuang Qi, what is this Huang Qi?”

Han Su thought for a while before saying, seemingly understanding, “It is said to be a relatively high-level earth energy. It is not invisible, but rather a yellow mist floating in the earth’s veins.”

A wisp of yellow mist, weighing ten thousand pounds, is one of the high-grade materials for forging spiritual weapons and magical artifacts.

Xu Changqing suddenly realized.

Since they had nothing better to do, the two chatted for a long time.

Then I learned that Han Su had a miserable childhood.

Originally, he came from a decent family; not extremely wealthy, but still quite well-off.

However, because the father offended a villain, the whole family was framed.

The father died after being humiliated, and the mother hanged herself in grief and indignation.

He managed to escape by crawling through a dog hole.

From then on, he wandered from place to place.

Years later, while sheltering from the rain in a dilapidated temple, I met an old Taoist priest.

Seeing that Han Su had the potential to cultivate immortality, the other party introduced him to the sect.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the legendary Dongting Immortal Sect.

Xu Changqing couldn’t help but sigh, “That’s fate.”

Han Su said apologetically, “Senior Brother Xu, I’m sorry for messing things up this time.”

Xu Changqing chuckled and said, “No, we’ve already taken care of most of it.”

Han Su could still feel the intense chill emanating from his body: “But I can’t help you for now.”

Xu Changqing took out a daily magical artifact hoe from his small storage bag: “You rest first, I’ll just try out this new hoe and see how it works.”

Han Su’s eyes instantly welled up with tears: “Senior Brother Xu, I…”

He could only choke back tears before he could finish speaking.

He selfishly thought that Senior Brother Xu was a very pragmatic person.

But it was only after this exchange that I realized…

They overestimated themselves and underestimated others!
