94: Chapter 94 Edible Tianfeng Beans

Zhao Mo now had two Storage Rings. One was filled with the corpses of Yao Beasts, while the other was filled with all sorts of miscellaneous items.

After rummaging for a moment, Zhao Mo finally found those five spirit seeds in a corner of the Storage Ring that Li Feng had given him.

The spirit seeds, emitting five colors—gold, green, blue, red, and yellow—revealed a faint vitality.

"It's you."

Zhao Mo picked out the green spirit seed and buried it directly into that half-acre spirit field.

【You have completed the planting of a fourth-grade spirit field, EXP +30】

"It really is a fourth-grade spirit field. The EXP is ten points higher than a third-grade spirit field. Items from the System are guaranteed to be high quality; the Transmigration Seniors didn't lie to me."

As for why only one spirit seed was planted in half an acre of spirit field, this was the difference between spirit plants and spirit seeds. For example, a mature golden marrow fruit plant could reach six meters in height and three meters in width, so its planting spacing was six meters.

The spirit seeds in the fourth-grade spirit field, once grown, were basically several meters or even over ten meters in size, and covering an entire acre of spirit field was considered small.

Therefore, planting one spirit seed per acre in a fourth-grade spirit field was actually normal.

【You have completed pest control in the spirit field, EXP +20】

...

Through pest control in the spirit field, Zhao Mo happily gained 380 EXP.

It was raining in the sky.

Yesterday, with the tacit approval of the Sect Master of the Xuan Sect, Peak Master of Spirit Plant Peak Liu Yaowen had braved the infamy to go to the Iron Sword Sect and trade back the Scarlet Flame Divine Spear.

After returning, he resigned as the Peak Master of Spirit Plant Peak, saying he was returning to Fuyu Peak to go into seclusion and Cultivate.

Anyone with a discerning eye knew he was hiding.

Zhao Mo had nothing to say about this.

Liu Yaowen had already been beaten, and he couldn't exactly kill Liu Yaowen, a Nascent Soul True Lord, just because of the golden marrow fruit.

Furthermore, ever since he learned that the Sect Master of the Xuan Sect was also surnamed Liu, Zhao Mo had become a bit timid.

Keeping a low profile was never a bad thing.

【You have completed the harvesting of golden marrow fruit, EXP +20.】

【Reward: After 194 days of meticulous care, your spirit field has yielded a bumper harvest, EXP +2000.】

The golden marrow fruit had already been harvested, but there was still no movement from that half-acre of fourth-grade spirit field.

If not for that tiny bit of green, Zhao Mo would have thought it had kicked the bucket.

"Only two thousand EXP? Where is the standard?"

"This scoundrel."

Zhao Mo completely failed to understand the System's logic. Could it be because there was half an acre less of spirit field?

"System."

【Farmer: Zhao Mo】

【Cultivation: Nascent Soul First Layer (Can be upgraded.)】

【EXP: 3790 / 3000】

【Reward: None.】

Fortunately, the EXP was enough to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul First Layer. Zhao Mo didn't hesitate and said directly: "Upgrade Cultivation."

According to the Nascent Soul chapter of the Five Elements Art, the Cultivation of the early Nascent Soul Stage was not much different from the Golden Core Stage; it was just about strengthening the Nascent Soul.

When reaching the Nascent Soul Sixth Layer, the Nascent Soul was basically the same size as the main body. By the Nascent Soul Seventh Layer, it began to fuse the Three Ethereal Souls and Seven Corporeal Spirits.

At the Nascent Soul Ninth Layer, the Three Ethereal Souls and Seven Corporeal Spirits were all fused into the Nascent Soul to achieve the Primordial Spirit, and then after passing the Six-Nines Lightning Tribulation, one would achieve the status of a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

However, a large number of Cultivators were stuck between the sixth and seventh layers, and those who could become Soul Transformation experts were one in ten thousand.

Spiritual Qi appearing out of thin air in his Dantian pulled Zhao Mo back to his senses.

These Spiritual Qi, after circulating through the Five Elements Art, quickly transformed into magic power, and then mindless poured into the Nascent Soul.

The thumb-sized Nascent Soul was like a balloon being inflated, quickly expanding to the size of a fist.

This was the Realm of the Nascent Soul Second Layer.

At the same time Zhao Mo was breaking through, Ding Xin, who was in the Heavenly Phoenix Grotto-Heaven, was going crazy.

In her perception, there were no Bottlenecks between herself and the Nascent Soul Second Layer, but the supply of Spiritual Qi was simply too slow.

This made her somewhat unable to bear it.

If things went on like this, when would she ever catch up to Zhao Mo?

Should she find a way to go out and get some Spirit Stones?

...

After his Cultivation Breakthrough, Zhao Mo began to take stock of the year's harvest.

There were over 30,000 catties of golden marrow fruit again, and this was even with half an acre of spirit field less.

As for the tianfeng bean, Zhao Mo was too lazy to count.

"Old Ox, old buddy, are we brothers or not?"

"Come, taste this and see what it tastes like."

"Can it be eaten?"

Zhao Mo squatted in front of Ox Martial, holding the tianfeng bean and said to him.

Ox Martial looked at Zhao Mo strangely.

"If you want to taste it, why don't you taste it yourself? Why let me taste it?"

"No, there's a trap here. I'm not eating it."

Ox Martial looked at the earthy-yellow fruit in Zhao Mo's hand and simply wouldn't open his mouth.

"Hey, are you asking for it?"

"Eat it right now, or I'll be eating beef hotpot tonight."

Since soft tactics didn't work, he went straight to hard ones. Zhao Mo forced him.

Ox Martial felt aggrieved.

As the Holy Son of the Ox Clan, when had he ever been threatened like this?

But comparing it to his past experiences, this, it didn't seem like much, right?

It was just a spirit plant, could it poison him to death?

It was just that Zhao Mo couldn't hear Ox Martial's inner thoughts, otherwise, he would definitely find it very familiar.

Ox Martial closed his eyes and opened his mouth to swallow the fruit in Zhao Mo's hand.

"That's not right, you have to chew it."

Zhao Mo demanded. He had eaten one last year, and he didn't want to taste that flavor again, but it was definitely not poisonous.

Forced with no choice, Ox Martial had to eat another one.

Once he chewed, he was stunned.

It wasn't as bad as he imagined; it just had a tough texture and was slightly viscous.

Watching Ox Martial chewing the tianfeng bean, there was no expression of pursing his lips like last year.

Zhao Mo asked suspiciously: "Could it be?"

"Did it really evolve?"

Thinking of this, he also picked one up, wiped off the dirt on it, and took a bite.

"This?"

Such a familiar taste.

"Damn, isn't this just a potato?"

A Xianxia world version of a potato? Are you kidding me?

Zhao Mo was flustered.

Then he thought of shredded potatoes with vinegar and chili, potato stewed with meat, and potato starch noodles.

And hotpot with vegetarian tripe...

Must say, it had been a long time since he had eaten them.

Zhao Mo was tinkering with the tianfeng bean.

Fuyu Peak.

Liu Yaowen looked at Liu Yaozhen and said: "I have confirmed it; Zhao Mo has already achieved the status of Nascent Soul True Lord."

"And his aura is thick; I estimate he has reached the Peak of the Nascent Soul First Layer."

Liu Yaozhen, whose eyes were already cloudy, heard this information, and his breathing became heavy.

"How?"

"Yaoyang died, and I have become this ghost of a person, yet he can still achieve the Nascent Soul True Lord status?"

"Is Heaven blind?"

Boom.

A clap of thunder outside made Liu Yaowen shudder, and he felt a hint of regret.

After the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, Liu Yaozhen had survived these years relying on the rare treasures of the Liu family. Perhaps he shouldn't have told him this news.

But thinking of Zhao Mo's age and talent, Liu Yaowen was a bit jealous. Why could you, Zhao Mo, grow golden marrow fruit? And even increase the yield to this extent?

Why couldn't it be me, Liu Yaowen, who has dedicated my life to spirit plants?

Thinking of the heaven mending spirit stone again, his heart tightened.

Hope you can do something.

Liu Yaowen watched the trembling Liu Yaozhen leave.

"Zhao Mo~"

This familiar and unforgettable name appeared in Liu Yaozhen's ears again.

"Anyway, I'm going to die, might as well go and give it one last shot."

A kind of madness emerged in Liu Yaozhen's eyes.

...

What no one noticed was that as the golden marrow fruit became popular, the interplanted tianfeng bean also spread widely, first among the Nascent Soul True Lords of the Xuan Sect and the Iron Sword Sect, and then to ordinary Spiritual Planters.

In the end, it even began to spread in the mortal world. Food that could yield two thousand catties per acre even on ordinary land directly caused the subsequent population explosion.
