My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Spiritual Power Divided in Two, First Encounter with Little Cloud Rain

[Would you like to consume 2600 days of your lifespan to upgrade the Evergreen Technique from level two to level three?]

“Yes.” Xu Changqing replied without hesitation.

Immediately, a wealth of experience and techniques related to the [Evergreen Technique] emerged.

The upgrade was completed shortly afterward.

[Successfully consumed 2600 days of lifespan to upgrade the Evergreen Technique to level three]

[Remaining lifespan: 1814 days]

【Evergreen Technique (Level 3)】

(Effect 1: Cultivation speed +30%)

(Effect 2: Production increase +20%)

(Effect 3: It can predict and diagnose problems with the growth of spiritual plants)

“Hiss.” Xu Changqing gasped for breath.

It’s only been a few days.

He transformed himself from a failure who failed assessments repeatedly.

In terms of both cultivation level and spell level, he is comparable to a formal disciple.

It all felt like a dream, it was simply unbelievable.

“Strange, why has the wood elemental energy decreased?”

“Wasn’t there a lot just now?”

“If only I had a little more wood elemental energy, I could break through to a higher realm!”

At this moment, the people around started talking.

Some of them looked very unwell.

Everyone wanted to use this seedling stage to improve their strength, but unfortunately things didn’t go as planned.

Only Xu Changqing benefited the most.

He did not boast or show off about it.

Instead, they try to minimize their presence.

After all, while the Shennong System is incredibly powerful, it is not invincible.

Therefore, it’s always best to keep a low profile until you’ve truly grown.

…

…

In the days that followed, Xu Changqing was no different from the people around him.

It’s just like any other thing, nothing special.

They work from sunrise to sunset every day.

That day, after finishing his breakfast, he came to the spirit field again.

Looking at the rice plants, which were even more robust than the previous quarter, I couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction.

The first two assessments.

The first time, I missed the assessment because I was too slow to grasp the concepts.

The second time, they lacked experience, and there was also a problem with the spirit field.

But the third time was completely different.

The millet from the land replenishes the earth’s energy, thus restoring its nutritional value.

Furthermore, with the help of his mid-stage Qi Refining strength, his perception was enhanced.

It also combines the powerful effects of the three layers of the [Evergreen Technique].

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the yield will definitely be 1,000 jin.

It might even exceed that.

But Xu Changqing wanted to keep the weight at a little over 1,000 jin.

As long as the assessment requirements are met, one can become a formal disciple.

There’s no need to be too conspicuous, otherwise it will arouse suspicion.

Then, he sat cross-legged on the edge of the field and began his daily cultivation.

Activate the three layers of the [Evergreen Technique].

The wood elemental energy released by the spiritual rice in front was immediately absorbed into the body.

Suddenly, the spiritual energy within his body changed from one strand to two.

Two strands of spiritual energy circulated back and forth within his body.

Over time, a few impurities will seep out of the pores.

“It’s gotten stronger again.” Xu Changqing was pleasantly surprised.

“Why did Lin An bring people here again?”

“This time it’s not a disciple with an earth elemental root!”

“Judging from their attire, they are disciples with water elemental roots from the [Imperial Water Pavilion]!”

At that moment, a commotion was heard from the surroundings.

Xu Changqing stopped cultivating and looked to the other side.

Lin An brought another unfamiliar face.

But this time it wasn’t a man, but a woman.

His appearance was ordinary.

He is rather thin.

She glanced around at the people.

Seeing how dirty they were, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.

“Fellow Daoist Zhao—I’m counting on you!” Lin An said politely.

“Hmm,” Zhao Xin mumbled in response.

She waved her hand.

Instantly, the water elemental energy in the surrounding air rapidly converged.

Soon, a thick mist began to rise above the rice paddies.

Soon, a series of crackling sounds rang out.

It turns out it was raining.

This is no ordinary rain, but spiritual rain imbued with the essence of water.

The rice below became moist after absorbing the nutrients.

Even the rice grains have become fuller.

“Minor Cloud Rain Technique?” Xu Changqing raised an eyebrow upon seeing this.

Compared to Han Su, a disciple with the Earth Spirit Root who only collaborates a few times a quarter.

These disciples with water-elemental roots are the important long-term partners for everyone.

Because the sacred field needs to be irrigated every so often.

Ordinary spring water, stream water, and flowing water only have basic effects.

The spiritual rain produced by the [Minor Cloud Rain Technique] is different.

This will not only increase production.

It also repels insects, heals, and repairs damage.

It has to be said that Lin An really went all out to become a formal disciple.

I wonder how much of the harvest was lost this time?

One-tenth?

Or more?

After all, people don’t help others for no reason!

Xu Changqing was somewhat tempted, but after thinking it over, he held back.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I am confident that I will pass the assessment.

There’s no need to go through all that trouble.

Not only did they give away a portion of the harvest for no reason, but they also…

You could tell from the female disciple’s strained expression.

She probably doesn’t have a deep understanding of the [Minor Cloud Rain Technique].

Even the spiritual energy within his body was not much.

It’s just the beginning.

That’s why we had to cooperate with the outer disciples of Lingtian.

If it were replaced with a second-grade spirit field, it would be a thankless task.

Therefore, even if Xu Changqing wanted to find it.

We’ll have to wait until we master a second-grade spirit field.

Go find a formal disciple who has awakened the water elemental root.

Why did Lin An look for him?

And why so urgent?

Because this guy only has one chance left.

Moreover, his cultivation level is only at the early stage of Qi Refining.

The Evergreen Secret is still there (on the first floor).

Their control over the spirit field is not as meticulous as Xu Changqing’s.

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

That’s why they tried every possible way to increase production.

But precisely because of this, there is a price to pay.

Even if I become a formal disciple in the future.

A portion of the harvest would also be taken by Han Su and his female disciple.

This can only be described as a true reflection of some outer disciples.

Unless you have exceptional talent and high comprehension, you can’t succeed on your first try.

Otherwise, we can only keep compromising and making concessions.

Without cheating, Xu Changqing’s final fate would have been one of three things.

Either you end up like Lin An, constantly seeking help from others and losing some of your harvest.

They either become tenant farmers under Zhang Er, a formal disciple, and lose almost all their harvest.

Either they completely break away from the Dongting Immortal Sect, gaining absolutely nothing.

“Fellow Daoist Xu, aren’t you going to go and ask?”

“You only have one chance left, you can’t afford to fail again!”

“Yes, yes, you have to seize this opportunity!”

Although those around him were tempted, they remained hesitant.

Because they could also see that this female disciple with the water elemental root was not strong enough.

Therefore, they hoped Xu Changqing would test the waters.

If the cost isn’t too high, then cooperation is naturally possible.

But if the cost is too high, then forget it.

“Okay.” Xu Changqing noticed that many people were staring at him and knew he couldn’t refuse.

Although I don’t need the other party’s help.

But we have to go through the motions.

This way, others won’t suspect anything.

Just then, Zhao Xin’s [Minor Cloud Rain Technique] had ended, and she was recovering her spiritual power.

When Lin An saw Xu Changqing arrive, a hint of resistance appeared in his eyes.

Both sides have only one more chance to be assessed.

Therefore, they are often compared to each other in private.

Although there was no direct conflict, I was still somewhat annoyed.

Lin An raised an eyebrow and asked, “Fellow Daoist Xu, is there something you need?”

“I’d like to ask this fellow Daoist about the price for casting the [Minor Cloud Rain Technique] once.” Xu Changqing shrugged.

Lin An hesitated, looking at the person beside him: “This?”

Zhao Xin glanced at Xu Changqing, then said, “Forty percent of the profits!”

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing looked at Lin An in disbelief.

Those around them were even more astonished and all backed down.

Only one-tenth of the earth spirit root and millet are needed.

These female disciples with water-elemental roots actually make up 40% of the group.

Doesn’t that mean Lin An is giving away 50 percent of his future harvest to someone else?

How can the word “ruthless” even begin to describe it?!
