My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Assessments are not difficult; nitpicking leads to humiliation (Part 1)

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Lingtian is facing its third-quarter assessment.

As long as the yield of each mu of Yipin Lingtian reaches or exceeds 1,000 jin.

Then you can become a formal disciple and fully join the [Dongting Immortal Sect].

Everyone got up very early this morning.

They all stood on the ridges of the field, waiting.

Zhang Er, who was to be assessed, had not yet arrived.

Xu Changqing sat cross-legged and began to practice cultivation.

In the first two months, we relied on the powerful effects of the third level of the [Evergreen Technique].

The spiritual energy within his body has increased to five strands, distributed in his limbs and lumbar spine.

The effects of this are obvious.

There is no longer a need to touch each spirit plant to check its condition.

Simply releasing spiritual energy can cover an area of five meters.

It is easy to understand the condition of spiritual plants.

It can even predict changes within three days.

Unfortunately, the amount of wood elemental energy is extremely low during the harvesting stage.

After several attempts, I realized it was too slow and eventually had to give up.

“Fortunately, the focus this time is not on spiritual power.” Xu Changqing then looked at the spiritual field in front of him.

For the past three months, I have been under your meticulous care.

The rice is growing very well.

Each grain of rice is exceptionally plump.

The golden rice ears swayed in the wind, creating ripples.

Seeing this made him happy, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

The assessors have arrived!

“Zhang Er and Senior Brother Li Sancai have both arrived!”

“The third one is quite unfamiliar!”

Before long, Zhang Er, Li Sancai, and the newly arrived formal disciples appeared before everyone.

“Everyone, this is Senior Brother Luo from Spirit Beast Valley!” Zhang Er introduced while scanning the room.

They quickly identified Xu Changqing as the suspect.

I thought the other person would be nervous.

But it turned out that…

Compared to the others, this guy was quite calm.

Have I resigned myself to my fate?

“Senior Brother Luo!” Xu Changqing and the others bowed respectfully.

Luo Bucheng said calmly, “Fellow disciples, I will weigh the spirit rice for you this time.”

With a flick of his wrist, a ring flew out of his sleeve.

After spinning around in the air a few times, it…

The next second, a golden shadow darted out from inside.

Then it expands as it lands at extremely high speed.

With a “bang,” a huge golden toad appeared on the ridge of the field.

Its entire body shimmered with gold, and its back was adorned with round, golden beads.

“A spirit beast!” Xu Changqing, like everyone around him, instinctively took a step back upon seeing this.

Luo Bucheng explained, “Everyone can harvest on their own. When you’re done, just let us know, and Lord Jin will automatically swallow the spirit rice you’ve harvested. Then we’ll know how many kilograms of spirit rice we’ve produced.”

“Understood!” Everyone exclaimed in surprise and nodded.

Xu Changqing felt a sense of relief.

Because the person who took the test last time was a disciple with a gold spiritual root.

No one needs to lift a finger; they can get it done in minutes with a simple wave of their hand.

If it’s the same person again, then I won’t be able to harvest their lifespan this time.

Zhang Er, too lazy to waste words, impatiently urged, “Let’s begin.”

Immediately, all the outer disciples taking the test picked up sickles.

They all began to take action.

Xu Changqing was even the most hardworking one.

Harvesting one “high-quality spiritual rice” plant increases its lifespan by 3 days.

Harvesting one “high-quality spiritual rice” plant increases its lifespan by 3 days.

Harvesting one “high-quality spiritual rice” plant increases its lifespan by 3 days.

…

Xu Changqing gets excited every time the notification sound rings.

If it weren’t for the fear of being suspected.

He harvested all the sacred rice without needing to rest.

But in order to keep a low profile, he stayed at the same level as those around him.

Zhang Er asked with a half-smile, “Fellow Daoist Luo, how many people do you think will be officially promoted this time?”

Luo Bucheng pondered, “This time there are 300 people being assessed; it would be good if ten of them could be officially hired.”

“What about you, Fellow Daoist Li?” Zhang Er then looked at the spirit field on the other side where the guards were stationed.

Li Sancai replied, “Four or five, I guess.”

Zhang Er comes here occasionally.

Luo Bucheng only came during assessments.

Compared to the other two, he knew the situation of Lingtian the best.

By conducting regular patrols in private, one naturally knows who is likely to pass and who is not.

“Who is it?” Zhang Er asked curiously.

“I guess Lin An counts,” Li Sancai shrugged.

Zhang Er raised an eyebrow and said, “I remember this guy; he only has one more chance to take the test.”

I heard that recently they actually brought in disciples with earth and water spiritual roots to collaborate?

It should be noted that the spirit field is far from the [Earth Vein] and the [Water Pavilion].

Moreover, even when you go to their door, you have to be mindful of their attitude.

Lin An had already been targeted by him.

I’ve tested the waters a few times in private.

He thought the other party would agree to become a tenant farmer.

Unexpectedly, they took a different approach, even going to extremes.

“Not bad.” Li Sancai nodded slightly.

Zhang Er asked again, “Anything else?”

“And…” Li Sancai’s gaze was already fixed on Xu Changqing, but he seemed to remember something, and after glancing at Zhang Er, who was standing next to him with a fierce look, he shook his head and said, “Let’s wait for the final result.”

He was fully aware of the shady dealings the other party was doing behind the scenes.

In fact, every formal disciple who receives an assessment task does this.

This kind of exploitation has almost become an unspoken rule in the spirit field, and everyone accepts it.

Time flies.

After the harvest was complete, the people called out to the golden toad.

“Xu Yuan, 700 jin of spirit rice, failed the test!”

“Zhang Bensan, 800 jin of spirit rice, failed the test!”

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

“Zhao Ziyao, one thousand catties of spirit rice, test successful!”

The assessment of 300 people lasted from sunrise to dusk.

As it was getting late, only three people remained.

This includes Xu Changqing and Lin An.

In fact, the harvest was already over.

The main problem is that queuing takes up too much time.

“It’s my turn.” Lin An’s breathing became rapid as he watched the golden toad getting closer and closer.

Zhang Er sneered, “Junior Brother Lin, you’ve gone to great lengths to find disciples with earth and water spiritual roots to help you. Isn’t passing the assessment a sure thing?”

“Uh.” Lin An’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at the other person.

At this moment, the golden toad had already approached.

It quickly extended its golden tongue and swiftly rolled the spirit rice into its mouth.

Before long, the gold beads on his back began to bulge one after another.

It didn’t end until eleven.

Luo Bucheng announced loudly, “Eleven golden beads represent 1,100 catties of spirit rice. The test is a success!”

“Finally… Waaah!” Upon hearing this, Lin An immediately knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

In order to become a formal disciple.

He gave up fifty percent of the future harvest.

If we fail, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Fortunately, it was a success.

“Congratulations!” Xu Changqing said, sharing the sentiment.

“Next is…” Zhang Er looked at the remaining two.

“My turn!” At that moment, another person stepped forward first.

“Zhao Ying, right?” Zhang Er remembered this person because they had talked about her in private.

Zhao Ying said meaningfully, “Senior Brother Zhang, I agree.”

“We’ll see,” Zhang Er said, without giving a particularly obvious response.

At this moment, the golden toad used its tongue to roll the rice in front of it into its mouth.

The gold beads on its back began to bulge.

One after another, but it stopped when it got to the ninth one.

This means that Zhao Ying only managed to grow 900 jin of spirit rice.

If the weight is less than 1,000 jin (500 kg), it means the assessment has failed.

This also indicates that he will not be able to become a formal disciple!
