Chapter 89

Spirit Rice Sprouts

After returning to the town lord's mansion from the spirit field, Xu Yunxin nurtured the "Golden Sunflower" again and replenished it with spirit stones.

Although the "Golden Sunflower" is a big consumer of spirit stones, its "golden melon seeds" after it matures contain a trace amount of "sun essence".

The "Essence of the Sun" is one of the special essences used to refine the "Great Sun Essence Fire Qi," making it extremely precious.

However, a single "Golden Sunflower" plant produces very few "golden melon seeds".

Even if you eat it all, you won't be able to refine a single trace of "Great Sun Essence Fire Qi".

Therefore, Xu Yunxin plans to keep all the "golden melon seeds" produced by the first "Golden Sunflower" plant for seed production.

Not a single one is for sale.

Ideally, we could grow a "Golden Sunflower" garden in the future.

In this way, there will be an endless supply of "golden melon seeds" in the future.

Xu Yunxin imagined himself eating sunflower seeds every day and using the "essence of the sun" at will, and went to the "mushroom house" with a smile.

The mycelium of the red mushroom in the "mushroom house" has almost fully developed.

The floor of the "mushroom house" was almost completely covered by countless tiny red mushrooms.

"The room is a bit small; we'll need to move to a bigger room in the future."

Xu Yunxin was very satisfied with the promising growth of the red mushrooms.

He used his spiritual power to nurture each of the red mushroom seedlings, and after another ten days or so, the red mushrooms were fully grown.

This room contains 2,216 red mushrooms, and each time they were nurtured, they provided him with 22.16 Druid experience points.

Xu Yunxin opened the system and looked at the experience value changes of [Profession: Druid LV5 (30.35/1000)] on the panel, and nodded in satisfaction.

This is much faster than when we first arrived in Qingxi Town.

Xu Yunxin came out of the "mushroom house" just as Uncle Fu returned.

He then told Uncle Fu that the mushroom house was too small and that they should replace it with a larger one.

Uncle Fu clapped his hands in agreement as soon as he heard it.

"Young Master is right. Although this 'Red Mushroom' is useless to us, it is very beneficial to the townspeople's physical training. If we grow more, we can sell it for resources. The larger the scale of cultivation, the better."

"I'll go with Ping'er to choose a place later. We might as well build another large 'mushroom house' specifically for cultivating red mushrooms. The women and children in the town can take care of it on weekdays, so you, young master, can have some peace of mind."

In Uncle Fu's opinion, Xu Yunxin was somewhat neglecting his duties by spending all his time in the "mushroom house".

If it weren't for the fact that the young master's cultivation was so rapid that he had already caught up with him, he would have had to speak up and warn the young master in time, even if it meant defying his superior.

Xu Yunxin was unaware that he had already dodged a serious reprimand. Upon hearing this, he nodded in satisfaction, thought for a moment, and then continued.

"Uncle Fu, I think it would be better to build the 'mushroom house' near the spirit fields behind the town, so that I can go and keep an eye on it when I have time."

Currently, the Red Mushroom farm is quite large, providing him with a significant amount of Druid experience every day, so Xu Yunxin certainly cannot give it up.

However, once the spirit rice sprouts, he will have to focus most of his energy on it, as running between the two is too troublesome.

He built the "mushroom house" near the spirit field, where it was usually cared for by the women and children in the town. Whenever he had free time, he would go there to nurture it and gain some druid experience.

When there are more spiritual plants in the future, the cultivation of red mushrooms will be entirely handed over to the townspeople.

He could just focus on cultivating spiritual flowers and herbs and planting spiritual trees.

Uncle Fu had no objection to Xu Yunxin's request.

Over the next three days, Uncle Fu organized the townspeople to build another large "mushroom house" near Lingtian and transplanted all two thousand red mushrooms from the town lord's mansion there.

After the red mushroom was transplanted, Xu Yunxin would spend his days at the spirit field and return to the town lord's mansion at night to nurture the "Golden Sunflower". Then he would return to Qifeng Mountain to take care of the "Azure Jade Ginseng" and "Jade Bowl Lotus". At night, he would transform into a red-gold Buddha tree on the top of Qifeng Mountain to sense the heaven and earth and absorb the spiritual energy of the moon.

By the fourth day, Xu Yunxin's Druid class experience had increased to one hundred points.

The spirit rice in the spirit field has also sprouted.

When these light green shoots emerge from the dark yellow soil, their shimmering green color is enough to soothe the soul.

All twenty acres of land, with a total of two thousand rice plants, have survived!

"It's finally done!"

Xu Yunxin couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Upon hearing the news, Yue Shaohua and Yue Yinping rushed over, their eyes wide with disbelief.

"How is that possible!"

"Young Master Xu, we've tried planting them too, and we've harvested quite a few spirit rice seeds, but none of them have sprouted even once!"

"How did you do that?"

Yue Shaohua asked questions whenever she didn't understand, her eyes filled with curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.

Yue Yinping searched everywhere for the "Spirit Gathering Array Plate," assuming that Xu Yunxin must have used it to gather spiritual energy to grow the spirit rice.

Yue Yinping searched through all twenty acres of spirit fields and actually found a "spirit gathering array plate" near the "mushroom house".

However, the spiritual energy attracted by this single "Spirit Gathering Array Plate" can only cover a small area, and it is impossible to support two thousand spirit rice plants!

The "Spirit Gathering Array Plate" in Yue Yinping's hand was the one that Uncle Fu bought in Wancheng.

Originally placed in Xu Yunxin's bedroom, it was also meant to nourish the red mushrooms next door.

To help the red mushrooms grow better, Xu Yunxin brought over the "Spirit Gathering Array Plate" after the large "mushroom house" was built.

Yue Yinping had searched for a long time but had not found any evidence.

Xu Yunxin smiled and said to Yue Shaohua, "Shaohua, the growth of this spirit rice is all thanks to Sister Ping!"

"Relying on Sister Bottle?"

"Rely on me?"

Hearing Xu Yunxin say this, Yue Yinping subconsciously asked as well.

"Yes, didn't you know? This land was raked by your sister Ping, and maybe she raked it too well, because the spirit rice sprouted!"

Xu Yunxin shook his head and spoke with great seriousness.

Yue Shaohua was half-believing and half-doubting, staring intently at Yue Yinping.

Yue Yinping realized that Xu Yunxin was joking with her, and she was both angry and anxious. She drew her spear and was about to attack.

"Ah! Sister Ping stabbed someone with a gun!"

Before Yue Yinping could make a move, Xu Yunxin leaped high into the air, grabbed Xiaoqing, and disappeared in a flash.

Although Yue Shaohua only half understood, looking at Xu Yunxin's ridiculous and exaggerated behavior, and then at Sister Ping gritting her teeth and glaring, she covered her mouth and tried to hold back her laughter, but the more she tried to hold it in, the more she wanted to laugh.

Finally, he let out a "goose" laugh.

......

After the spirit rice sprouted, Xu Yunxin practically lived in the spirit field.

These two thousand spirit rice plants are all considered to be low-grade first-tier spirit plants.

For every dan he nurtures, Xu Yunxin gains 0.1% of Druid experience.

However, two thousand spiritual plants require far too much spiritual energy.

Even though Xu Yunxin had already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, and was cultivating a divine skill he had comprehended from the earth's veins, it was still far from enough.

He used up all the spiritual energy in his body, and could only nurture a little over three hundred spirit rice plants at a time.

To fully nurture all two thousand spirit rice plants, we must come seven times.

To avoid leaking more information, Xu Yunxin changed the time for nurturing the spiritual rice to the evening. He could only use half of his spiritual power, so he had Xiao Qing ride the cloud to take him back to the top of Seven Peaks once, and then he would transform into the Crimson Gold Buddha Tree to cultivate.

The remaining half of his spiritual power was just enough for twenty breaths of transformation. After the transformation ended and his spiritual power was completely exhausted, he replenished his spiritual power and returned to the spiritual field to continue nurturing the spiritual rice.
