26: Chapter 26 White Orchid

"What, you are moving away?"

Ding Xin was very surprised upon hearing this.

Zhao Mo said: "That is correct. These two spirit fields have been reclaimed by the Xuan Sect."

"Why should I stay here?"

"Besides, I have rented spirit fields from True Person Tian Hua now. It is in the east of Wang Town, so it is not convenient to go back and forth to Xiao Ji Village."

Ding Xin: "Wang Town? Those are all Level 2 spirit fields, right? Oh, I forgot, you are already a Foundation Establishment Cultivator."

Perhaps it was Zhao Mo's illusion, but he actually felt that Ding Xin was like a woman at this moment, a bit sentimental.

"Hey, you are a grown man, can you stop making that expression? My hair is standing on end." Zhao Mo said while lifting his arm.

"Get lost!" The response to him was Ding Xin's big foot.

"You go first, I will come to find you." Ding Xin said, acting as if he was trying hard.

Zhao Mo: "How far is the road? If you want to go, just go."

"Oh, right, this is the breeding method for hybrid spirit rice. It is a bit more refined than the Xuan Sect's, you know."

"Hurry up and save up Spirit Stone for your Breakthrough, youngster."

Zhao Mo knew that Ding Xin's talent was actually quite good, at least a hundred times stronger than his own. It was a pity that he had a more monstrous younger sister. Limited resources could only support one person. The lack of resources created the current Ding Xin.

"I am leaving."

Zhao Mo packed up the Leisurely Residence, led Ox Martial, and went straight out of Xiao Ji Village.

...

Wang Town.

"This Leisurely Residence is truly convenient."

Zhao Mo sighed as he looked at the seamless relocation of the Leisurely Residence.

Of course, it was convenient, but it was also really expensive. It was fortunate that Zhao Mo had sold quite a lot of hybrid spirit rice seeds over the years; otherwise, living in this Leisurely Residence could have bankrupted him.

After settling his accommodation, Zhao Mo carried his Iron Shovel and went to the spirit field.

He had to deal with the big tree in the center of the spirit field today.

In the spirit field,

Aiming at the big tree, Zhao Mo chopped down with his Iron Shovel. Not only did the big tree not move at all, but it even made Zhao Mo's hand ache. One must know that Zhao Mo was now at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

A full-strength attack with True Qi could put a dent in refined steel, but this tree did not budge.

"Heh, I do not believe it."

Zhao Mo became ruthless. He dug down along the tree roots with his shovel, shovel by shovel. It took him a whole day.

The big tree that stood in the center of the spirit field finally crashed down.

【You processed the trees in the spirit field, Experience + 10.】

Look, isn't this experience coming in?

The originally desolate spirit field all became experience points in Zhao Mo's eyes.

After removing the trees in the spirit field, Zhao Mo's second step was to clear the weeds in the field.

These grasses were as low as the instep, while the tall ones were more than a person's height. The small grass did not matter; once the field was turned, they would be buried in the soil and could be used as fertilizer.

There was no way to deal with the large weeds; they had to be cut down manually.

【You completed weeding the spirit field, Experience + 10.】

The ten acres of spirit field were three times the area of Zhao Mo's previous spirit field, and the soil of this Level 2 spirit field was significantly harder than the Level 1 spirit field.

It took Zhao Mo three days to clean it up.

After the weeds were removed, Zhao Mo started repairing the field ridges and adjusting the irrigation ditches. This work was one after another, seemingly endless; he could not finish it, simply could not finish it.

Fortunately, the experience points kept adding up. These experience points kept supporting Zhao Mo; otherwise, he would have given up long ago.

By the time he finished dealing with all this, it was already early winter.

And Ox Martial finally waited for the thing he looked forward to most: plowing the land.

"Damn it, you lazy thing. Usually, you are soft and limp, but when it comes to plowing the land, you are full of spirit. What a silly ox without any fortune."

"Giddy up~"

"Turn, turn~"

Smack.

The sound of the cowhide whip rang out again.

Ox Martial was now plowing the field properly, and Zhao Mo only whipped the air, rarely hitting him.

The ten acres of spirit field, along with the degree of soil compaction, far exceeded Zhao Mo's expectations.

"Damn it."

"So tired."

Zhao Mo cursed.

【You completed plowing the spirit field, Experience + 10.】

"gou system, the area of this spirit field and the difficulty of plowing are completely different from before, yet it only gives ten points of experience. It is too rigid, do you not know how to be flexible?"

As for Ox Martial, he finally felt the power of Law in the iron ring once again.

It was just that this feeling of clearly being within reach but always feeling like a thread was missing, unable to comprehend it, was too uncomfortable for the ox.

If only he could plow the land every day, how good that would be.

At this moment, if Zhao Mo could hear Ox Martial's inner voice, he would definitely think this ox was crazy. Plowing every day? Are you not afraid of working yourself to death?

After fully entering winter, Zhao Mo became idle.

And a major event happened in the Xuan Sect. True Monarch Feng Ling opened the Heavenly Phoenix Grotto-Heaven for all Golden Core Realm Cultivators in the Xuan Sect to practice.

The first phase only had thirty spots for a period of ten years, costing ten High-Grade Spirit Stone.

Because of this, the first Golden Core Realm grand competition in the history of the Xuan Sect took place.

The enthusiasm was such that even Zhao Mo, who was far away in Wang Town, could receive real-time battle reports every day.

When he saw Fu Tianhua among the three people at the third layer of the Golden Core, Zhao Mo fell silent.

This True Person Tian Hua was indeed eyeing his Spirit Stone.

As for the white orchid fruit, it was probably just an excuse.

"Hmph, my Spirit Stone is not easily taken."

"white orchid fruit, I am determined to grow it. Ten years later, let us see what you will use to repay my Spirit Stone?"

These days, Zhao Mo also learned about the white orchid fruit.

white orchid fruit, an annual spirit plant, similar to the tomato on Blue Star, is a spirit fruit for brewing wine, with a juice yield as high as ninety percent. It is named because the shape of the fruit resembles a white orchid flower.

Time flew by, and this year was another lonely year for Zhao Mo.

Or perhaps by the time one reaches the end of cultivation, New Year is just a time symbol, representing that these three hundred and sixty-five days have ended. Zhao Mo could not find any other meaning in it.

Once the New Year passed, Zhao Mo began to organize the spirit field. Planting white orchid fruit is different from planting spirit rice; he needed to open ridges of soil in the spirit field. These soil ridges are higher than other parts of the spirit field and can be used to prevent waterlogging.

【You completed the spirit field soil ridges, Experience + 10.】

【You completed the white orchid fruit sowing, Experience + 10.】

This white orchid fruit has a very high demand for nutrition, so it cannot be planted too densely. Zhao Mo had no planting experience in the first year, so he could only refer to other people's methods.

After planting the white orchid fruit, he had to check the seed germination situation in real-time. If there were seeds that could not germinate, he would immediately replant them.

This was also what Zhao Mo learned from the master who planted white orchid fruit.

"Master Zhou, how do you think my white orchid fruit is planted?"

In front of the spirit field, Zhao Mo asked while supporting the white-haired old man in front of him.

"Good, good, good. Little Zhao, you are a good hand at farming."

"This white orchid fruit consumes extreme land fertility. If the land fertility is insufficient, not only will the yield be reduced, but the wine brewed will also be bitter and completely undrinkable."

"And this white orchid fruit cannot be dried out, nor can it be waterlogged. If it dries out, it dies; if it is waterlogged, it rots."

"You are planting so much in your first year. If something goes wrong, the loss will be huge."

"Master Zhou, do I not have someone with your rich experience? What could go wrong?"

Zhao Mo was full of confidence.

After walking around the spirit field and confirming that there were no problems, Zhao Mo sent the old man back. Of course, he also brought thirty catties of hybrid spirit rice. Human relationships are just like this.
