31: Chapter 31 Five Thousand Jin
γ You have completed the grafting of the white orchid fruit, experience + 10. γ
γ You have completed the fertilization of the spirit field, experience + 10. γ
Zhao Mo held that large iron ladle, with two cotton plugs in his nostrils. Although he could hold his breath, he still felt that stench swirling into his nose.
"Damn it, are you feeding shit to the white orchid fruit?"
"So stinky?"
This was Wang Zhi, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who farmed a spirit field downwind from Zhao Mo.
As soon as Zhao Mo applied this fertilizer, Wang Zhi was hit by the stench downwind.
"My apologies, my apologies. It's just for these two days; the smell will dissipate immediately."
Actually, this was Zhao Mo's fault. He had put too much urine from the White Jade Rhinoceros when composting, so the fertilizer wouldn't dry, and the smell was naturally strong.
Wang Zhi grumbled and cursed, but he didn't dare to make a move against Zhao Mo, as Zhao Mo was a solid Foundation Establishment Layer Two, one Realm higher than him.
"Hmph, wait until I break through to Foundation Establishment Layer Two, then I'll reason with you." At the very least, he couldn't let Zhao Mo continue to release poison.
Days went by.
Zhao Mo was also constantly watching the white orchid fruit seedlings in the spirit field.
"Not bad, the grafting survival rate is ninety-eight percent."
The entire spirit field was now lush and green, and Zhao Mo was in a great mood.
"Hey."
When Zhao Mo was lying in Leisurely Residence watching his spirit field, Ding Xin suddenly appeared in front of him.
He didn't know if it was Zhao Mo's illusion, but he actually felt that Ding Xin's skin had become much whiter. Most importantly, it seemed that even his facial features had softened a bit, and he had actually become better looking.
"Damn it~"
"I am a man, I like women." After chanting this three times in his heart, Zhao Mo finally dispelled the inexplicable feeling in his heart.
"You finally decided to come out of seclusion."
"Hmm, no."
"Did you also successfully achieve Foundation Establishment?"
Only then did Zhao Mo perceive Ding Xin's aura, standing tall like a mountain; this was definitely not something a Qi Refining Stage Cultivator should have.
"Hehe, Foundation Establishment Layer One."
Ding Xin fully revealed his cultivation, showing two big white teeth.
"Good, good. Two hundred years of lifespan in hand, we can continue to Cultivate together for over a hundred years."
Zhao Mo said these words without even thinking.
He didn't see Ding Xin's ears turn red in an instant.
"Right."
"So, please, Senior Brother Zhao, take me in."
Zhao Mo waved his hand.
"No problem, hehe. Just like before, the room on the second floor of Leisurely Residence, I haven't touched it."
"As for the spirit field in Xiao Ji Village, you can continue to farm it for now. After I settle the things in my spirit field, I'll see if there are any suitable spirit fields near Wang Town to rent."
Ding Xin nodded.
While at the Qi Refining Stage, farming hybrid spirit rice in Xiao Ji Village barely earned enough Spirit Stones for him and his sister to Cultivate together.
Now that he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the resources required for daily Cultivation were ten times that of the Qi Refining Stage. Relying solely on the income from Xiao Ji Village was insufficient. That was why he wanted to come out and hug Zhao Mo's thigh.
As for Ox Martial in the cow shed, he looked at Zhao Mo with a bit of amusement.
Senior Brother? Junior Brother?
That was clearly a big beauty, right?
Hmph, when I comprehend the Immortal Scripture, I will definitely abduct this Human Race woman to be the Dao Companion of the Saint.
"Senior Brother, this cow seems to have been fed until it's thin. I'll go pull some spirit rice straw."
With Ding Xin around, Zhao Mo didn't have to worry about many things, and he could basically stay in the spirit field every day.
γ You have completed the watering of the spirit field, experience value + 10. γ
Ding Xin looked at Zhao Mo's iron ladle and wanted to laugh a little. Seeing the iron bucket, his face twitched even more. Was the Sumeru Mustard Seed Array used like this? Thinking about it carefully, it seemed there was no problem.
γ You have completed the fertilization of the spirit field, experience + 10. γ
"The size of these white orchid fruits is indeed much larger than last year."
Zhao Mo stood in the spirit field, carefully examining the growth of the white orchid fruits. As the white orchid fruits turned from green to white, Zhao Mo suddenly discovered that a few of them had actually been eaten by an unknown animal, leaving only empty fruit stalks in the spirit field.
"This looks like it was pecked by a bird."
Zhao Mo looked up at the sky, but there was nothing there.
"I don't believe I can't catch you."
Zhao Mo was persistent. From the moment he discovered the white orchid fruits being eaten, he stayed in the spirit field day and night without rest.
Under the moonlight, a group of red things descended from the sky.
Zhao Mo hid in the spirit field with a smile.
"Little things, couldn't help yourselves, right?"
"I won't let you run."
Zhao Mo suddenly stood up and threw the net in his hand at the group of red things. Thump, thump. The group of red things was wiped out in one net by Zhao Mo.
"Is this a turtledove?"
"Why is it red?"
Zhao Mo looked at the five or six chubby red turtledoves in the net, feeling a bit confused. Does this exist in the Xianxia world too? However, he knew the delicious taste of turtledoves. Ignoring the chirping of the few red turtledoves, Zhao Mo directly drowned them in water, plucked them, gutted them, marinated them for half an hour, and roasted them directly.
"What is that, so fragrant?"
The spirit rice in Xiao Ji Village hadn't reached the heading stage yet, so Ding Xin could still come back at night.
"A few little thieves stealing white orchid fruits. It wasted two days and two nights of my time to catch them."
"Come, come, taste how it is?"
"If they dare to eat my white orchid fruit, I dare to eat them."
The red turtledoves were roasted to a golden brown by Zhao Mo, and the bones and meat could be chewed directly. That fragrance~ made Zhao Mo swallow his saliva several times in a row.
"So delicious."
"It's a pity, there is no spirit wine."
The price of spirit wine from the Xuan Sect was staggering; it was simply not something farmers like them could afford to drink.
Hearing Ding Xin's sigh, Zhao Mo said: "Wait, when this batch of white orchid fruits is harvested, I will definitely let you drink to your heart's content."
Ding Xin clearly didn't believe it. Drink to his heart's content? A tael of spirit wine containing Spiritual Qi cost one Mid-Grade Spirit Stone. Wouldn't drinking to his heart's content once cost dozens of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones? With these dozens of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, he could buy Spirit Medicine and Spirit Pills to break through to Foundation Establishment Layer Two; why would he drink wine?
γ You have completed the harvesting of the white orchid fruit, experience + 10. γ
γ Reward: After one hundred and sixty-one days of careful care, your spirit field has achieved a bumper harvest, experience + 900, special reward: Level 1 Spirit Wine Brewing Technique. γ
"The experience value actually tripled?"
Zhao Mo was dumbfounded. Immediately, he reacted. Last year, his white orchid fruits only yielded one thousand catties, but this year, after grafting, the white orchid fruits would conservatively yield five thousand catties, directly increasing fivefold. It was no surprise that there were so many rewards.
"System."
γ Farmer: Zhao Mo γ γ Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Layer Two (Can be upgraded) γ γ Experience value: 1430 / 600 γ γ Reward: Level 1 Spirit Wine Brewing Technique γ
"Can upgrade now."
"And a Level 1 Spirit Wine Brewing Technique?"
Zhao Mo was overjoyed. In the future, he could brew his own spirit wine. One had to know that Zhao Mo could only smell the spirit wine sold outside; he couldn't afford to drink it.
"After I'm done, I'll start brewing spirit wine, and I'll definitely drink to my heart's content then."
Unfortunately, Zhao Mo had to deal with these white orchid fruits now, so the matter of spirit wine had to be postponed.
Three days later, the beggar Immortal Master appeared silently in front of Zhao Mo's Leisurely Residence again.
"Little Zhao Mo."
"How was the harvest this year?"
Zhao Mo said: "Greetings, Immortal Master."
"The weather was good this year, and the harvest was not bad."
The beggar Immortal Master said: "How much did you harvest? One thousand five hundred catties?"
"Not bad, not bad. As expected of the person Old Tian took a fancy to; he is indeed a good hand at farming."
Zhao Mo shook his head, stretched out his palm, and opened five fingers.
"Five thousand catties."
