30: Chapter 30 Composting

"Done."

I have to say, using a shovel as a Magical Artifact was truly Zhao Mo's wisest decision; the speed at which he could get work done was incredible.

Watching Zhao Mo completely cover the monster meat with soil, Zhang Ke was finally convinced that the composting Zhao Mo spoke of was no joke.

"Senior Zhao, this is truly..."

Zhang Ke couldn't find the words to express himself for a moment.

Zhao Mo didn't pay any attention to Zhang Ke's thoughts.

Right now, he was recalling the composting technique given by the System in his mind.

"gou system, monster meat plus urine."

"Where the hell am I supposed to find urine?"

Zhao Mo was about to go crazy. After receiving the reward, his mind was entirely focused on the mutated white orchid fruit; how could he have noticed how to compost?

"Are you trying to drive me crazy?"

Fortunately, this monster meat needed to be fermented for three or four days, so he still had time.

Scripture Pavilion.

"Senior Brother Zhao? How do you have the free time to come up the mountain?"

Liu Yue looked at Zhao Mo with excitement.

"Hehe, Junior Brother Liu, to tell you the truth, I came to ask for your help."

"Help with what? Senior Brother Zhao, just say the word."

Zhao Mo deliberated for a moment, thinking about how to bring it up.

Seeing Zhao Mo's hesitant appearance, how could Liu Yue not understand Zhao Mo's meaning?

"Senior Brother Zhao, could it be that you want to buy Spirit Beast feces again?"

Zhao Mo: "Not this time. I want to collect some Spirit Beast urine."

"..."

Liu Yue felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His mind was shaken, and he stared blankly at Zhao Mo, taking a long time to come back to his senses.

Then, he said with deep sorrow, "Senior Brother Zhao, since you went down the mountain, you've broken through from the First Layer of Qi Refining to the Foundation Establishment Stage in over ten years. You are a Genius; why are you obsessed with these filthy things instead of cultivating properly?"

Zhao Mo said sincerely, "This is my cultivation."

Liu Yue was completely speechless, but he couldn't refuse to help Zhao Mo.

Over these years, Zhao Mo had given him quite a bit of spirit rice, and just a few days ago, he had even sent some white orchid fruit through someone. These were all favors.

"Alright then. It just so happens that I've finished my duties at the Scripture Pavilion, so I can take you to the Spirit Beast Valley to have a look."

Zhao Mo: "You aren't in the Scripture Pavilion anymore?"

Liu Yue said happily, "Yes, thanks to the kindness of the Spirit Beast Valley Master, Immortal Master Su Ye, I have officially taken her as my master."

"Taking a Golden Core True Person as your master? That's truly congratulations-worthy. You must treat us to a meal tonight." Zhao Mo looked at Liu Yue and said happily.

"That goes without saying."

Liu Yue waved his hand grandly.

"Tonight, we go to Drunken Moon Tower. Call Junior Brother Ding; let's not return until we're drunk."

"Junior Brother Ding? He is in closed-door cultivation. I haven't seen him in a long time."

"Closed-door cultivation? That's a real pity." Liu Yue said.

The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the Spirit Beast Valley.

The Spirit Beast Valley was cleaner now than before. After all, the Cultivators who planted spirit rice nowadays watched these Spirit Beasts all day long. Whenever they relieved themselves, they would immediately sweep it away, not giving anyone else a chance.

It was fortunate that these Spirit Beasts lacked intelligence, otherwise, they would likely be depressed.

Big-Eared Fragrant Pigs, Five-Colored Spirit-Feather Chickens, Spirit Tigers, Spirit Cranes flying in mid-air, and so on—every time he came to the Spirit Beast Valley, Zhao Mo was shocked. These Spirit Beasts were not only used for food, but more often, they were mounts for the Xuan Cult Cultivators.

"How about it, Senior Brother Zhao? Do you want to adopt one? I can put in a good word for you now."

"Look, these White Spirit Foxes and Spirit Snakes."

"They are intelligent and can assist in cultivation. If they happen to develop wisdom and transform into human form, wouldn't it be wonderful to take one as a maid?"

"Tsk tsk~"

Zhao Mo...

"Junior Brother Liu, when did you become so desperate? Even monsters?"

Liu Yue rolled his eyes at Zhao Mo.

"They're all in human form, what's the difference? Senior Brother Zhao, let me tell you, these fox spirits have lithe figures and agile movements, and the spirit snake spirits are skilled in transformation. They all have their unique qualities~"

Liu Yue emphasized the word "qualities" heavily, afraid that Zhao Mo wouldn't understand the meaning behind it.

Zhao Mo couldn't continue this conversation. He spent his whole day wandering around the spirit fields; how would he know anything about fox spirits or spirit snake monsters?

"We're here, we're here. It's right up ahead."

Seeing Zhao Mo walking faster and faster, Liu Yue hurriedly shouted.

"This is?"

Zhao Mo looked at the Spirit Beast in front of him. It was completely white, like jade, and stood over ten meters tall. With just a slight movement, the ground would shake three times.

"This is my master's mount, the White Jade Rhinoceros."

"This should be the one in my Spirit Beast Valley that produces the most urine."

"Junior Brother Zhou, hurry over~" Liu Yue said to a Disciple standing not far away.

"Senior Brother Zhao, this is the Utility Disciple Zhou Tong who is specifically responsible for taking care of the White Jade Rhinoceros. He is responsible for everything regarding the White Jade Rhinoceros."

"Junior Brother Zhou, this is Senior Brother Zhao Mo, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. He wants to buy some of the White Jade Rhinoceros's urine."

"Buy what?"

Zhou Tong thought he had misheard. If he had come to buy feces, he could understand, as it could be used for composting to grow spirit rice.

Urine?

What could this be used for? Planting spirit fields? He was afraid it would burn all the spirit plants in the spirit field to death.

"Buy some urine~"

Zhao Mo really wanted to smash the System if this gou system had a physical form.

Hearing it twice, Zhou Tong finally confirmed he hadn't misheard. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly as he looked at Zhao Mo strangely.

"What buy or not? I'll just give it to Senior Brother Zhao for free."

"It's just that Senior Brother might have to collect it yourself."

Zhou Tong pointed to the stone pit not far under the White Jade Rhinoceros's feet. That was where the White Jade Rhinoceros urinated.

"Alright, I'll make a container and come to collect it in a few days."

"A small token of appreciation, please accept it."

Zhao Mo gave Zhou Tong two hundred purple gold coins and thirty catties of hybrid spirit rice—these were leftovers from when he used to grow spirit rice.

"How can I accept this?"

Although Zhou Tong said he didn't want it, he couldn't bear to let go.

"Alright, just take it. Keep an eye on this stuff; don't let anyone else take it."

"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Liu, don't worry. As long as I'm here, the urine is here."

Zhao Mo...

What did he mean by "as long as I'm here, the urine is here"? However, he understood Zhou Tong; what resources could a Utility Disciple have?

In Wang Town, at the Wind and Magical Artifact Shop, Zhao Mo customized a large iron barrel with a Level 2 Sumeru Mustard Array inscribed inside, as well as an iron scoop, which also had a Sumeru Mustard Array inscribed on it. These two items cost ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

"There goes a year of work for nothing."

Zhao Mo sat on the ox cart, the large iron barrel wedged on the cart, with the iron scoop with an extra-long handle placed beside it. Ox Martial was pulling the cart in front.

"Oh, Senior Brother Zhao, you've finally come."

"This, it's about to overflow."

These past few days had made Zhou Tong anxious. The White Jade Rhinoceros's urine could be said to be the most abundant in the Spirit Beast Valley. In a few days, the original stone pit was almost full.

If Zhao Mo didn't come, Zhou Tong was afraid he wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Junior Brother Zhou."

Zhao Mo placed the large iron barrel and the iron scoop on the Spirit Stone, then scooped it once, and poured it into the large iron barrel.

It could only be said that this Sumeru Mustard Array was too useful. In the effort of a dozen scoops, the stone pit hit the bottom.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Zhou. I'll come again in a few days. I won't go to see Junior Brother Liu."

【You have completed composting, experience +10.】

For a full month, Zhao Mo finally finished composting.

...

In front of the Leisurely Residence, Zhao Mo had chopped off the branches of the piles of insect-cage trees, leaving only the root Systems in front of him.

Next, he would plant these insect-cage tree roots into the spirit fields, and then graft the seedlings of the white orchid fruit onto them.
