Chapter 44: Sword Cultivation!
“Follow me!”
Elder Li glanced at Ji Yang lightly as he spoke.
His seemingly plump body moved swiftly like the wind.
Ji Yang followed closely behind and soon arrived inside Feng Ling Valley.
From the flying boat, the various spiritual grains appeared very small, but on the ground, Ji Yang discovered that the spiritual grains planted in Feng Ling Valley were actually taller than a person. The grains they produced were also more plump than ordinary grains, exuding a vibrant spiritual energy, truly befitting of food for cultivators.
Along the way, Ji Yang also observed other disciples undergoing punishment.
However, these disciples reacted apathetically to Ji Yang’s arrival. Each punished disciple guarded their own field of spiritual grains, their eyes dull, staring intently at the crops while murmuring:
“Please don’t die!”
“This batch must survive!”
And similar expressions of worry.
Ji Yang listened in surprise; isn’t planting spiritual grains supposed to be simple? Is it really that troublesome?
Before long, Elder Li led Ji Yang to a plot of spiritual field and pointed to a specific area, saying:
“You will plant spiritual grains here. Each month, you must submit ten stones of He Hua spiritual grains!”
“If you fail to meet the monthly target and accumulate unpaid grains, you must keep at it until you complete it!”
“The wooden house over there has He Hua rice seeds and detailed planting records! You can look at it yourself.”
After Elder Li finished speaking, he turned to leave, leaving Ji Yang staring in curiosity at the acre of spiritual field assigned to him, which still held many withered He Hua rice plants, clearly remnants left by the previous punished disciple.
Catching a glimpse of Ji Yang’s bewildered and intrigued expression, Elder Li couldn’t help but smirk coldly.
By the end of this month, you will know the consequences!
Usually, disciples are brought here by the Law Enforcement Hall, but this brat was brought in by his friend Elder Lu.
He definitely has connections!
Li Shun Cheng has always detested those with connections in the sect, as the He Dao Sect is a righteous sect that must uphold fairness and justice.
Although he is not an elder or a Peak Master, he holds some power in Feng Ling Valley. If this kid tries to rely on his friend’s connections,
Well, sorry, but he picked the wrong person!
While he can’t privately increase the quantity of grains Ji Yang must submit each month, he can use his authority in other matters, such as assigning him the worst spiritual field!
Hehe.
Thinking about how Ji Yang would be unable to complete his monthly tasks, Elder Li sneered again.
After Elder Li left, Ji Yang returned to his senses.
He sensed that Elder Li’s attitude toward him was not very friendly, which puzzled Ji Yang. Did he hear about my story?
Shaking his head, Ji Yang decided not to dwell on it and turned to enter the wooden house. For the moment, he had no intention of dealing with the plot of land.
Inside, the wooden house was exceedingly simple, lacking any furniture.
Indeed, it was just a small wooden structure, with no tables or stools in sight—only a pile of thick books in one corner and a container filled with rice seeds beside it.
Ji Yang picked up the books and opened them, finding them filled with information about potential issues in planting He Hua rice.
Looking at the several books, he felt a bit overwhelmed; it seemed that planting spiritual grains in the Cultivation World was not simple at all.
However, Ji Yang didn’t rush. Instead, he carefully sensed his surroundings, confirming that no one was approaching, then he eagerly checked the purple Light points he had absorbed in the mine.
【Name: Ji Yang】
【Age: 18】
【Realm: Foundation Establishment stage (early)】
【Techniques: Feather Transformation Ascension Skill】
【Abilities: Heart Sword, Sword Cultivation】
【Cultivation level: 16/99】
【Cannot be used】
【Status: None】
Sword Cultivation!
This was the ability he had just gained from absorbing the purple Light points!
Sword Cultivation: A gentleman keeps his tools close, waiting for the right moment to act! Cultivating the sword for one day is equivalent to a month’s worth of work!
As Ji Yang read the description of his new ability, surprise flickered in his eyes.
Cultivating for a day, equivalent to a month, meaning a ratio of one to thirty. If he cultivated for a year, wouldn’t that amount to thirty years of effect? Ten years would equal three hundred years, a hundred years…
Cough, cough, thinking too far ahead; by then, what sword would he even be cultivating?
Though he didn’t know the exact power yet, Ji Yang felt the ability bestowed by the purple Light points should not disappoint him.
Ji Yang decided to start the cultivation now and took out several Superior flying swords from his storage bag!
Although the mining time was short, he still had about twenty flying swords left, which was more than enough.
As he activated the Sword Cultivation Technique, Ji Yang realized that the places to cultivate the swords were different and needed to be placed in specific acupoints in his body.
Moreover, each time he broke through a major realm, he could cultivate an additional sword in an acupoint.
Since Ji Yang was currently at the Foundation Establishment stage, he could cultivate three swords!
After a moment of thought, Ji Yang decided to cultivate the three Superior flying swords in the Huiyin acupoint, Shenque acupoint, and Qingming acupoint.
As for why he chose these three acupoints, Ji Yang picked them randomly; it didn’t matter where he cultivated them.
Once the three flying swords were placed in Ji Yang’s three major acupoints under the control of Sword Cultivation, he slowly stood up and stretched his body, feeling good without any negative effects.
He could sense the locations of the three swords at any time and use them freely, without limitation in their usage, which was extremely convenient.
After practicing Sword Cultivation, Ji Yang also noticed a flow of spiritual energy entering his body’s acupoints from around, gathering into the swords. This meant he didn’t need to pay any cost at all.
He had heard that Nascent Soul Stage cultivators could store magical treasures in their dantians and nourish them using the True Essence inside, but that would consume their own True Essence, which was quite taxing.
In comparison, Sword Cultivation was truly remarkable!
Ji Yang was very pleased to obtain a new special ability.
However, he couldn’t stop his cultivation right now. Even though he couldn’t mine, farming was also a good option.
He Hua rice was a low-tier spiritual grain, commonly used by Sensing Stage cultivators for body refinement, and it could help strengthen the bodies of the sect’s miscellaneous disciples. This was also why some cultivators without the aptitude for cultivation still wanted to stay in the immortal gate.
With Ji Yang’s understanding of his special ability, low-tier spiritual grains like this were unlikely to yield purple Light points; even blue Light points were probably difficult to find.
But still, he must give it a try; perhaps there would be some surprises.
Though he had grown ordinary crops for over ten years in the mundane world, the cultivation method for He Hua rice was different, so Ji Yang began to flip through the introductory book on planting He Hua rice.
Before long, Ji Yang emerged from the wooden house, holding a bag of He Hua rice seeds, and walked into the spiritual field.
Looking at the withered He Hua rice plants in the spiritual field, Ji Yang took out his iron pick, which should now function as a hoe, and began to remove them one by one.
According to the book’s introduction, these He Hua rice plants were already dead and couldn’t be saved; they could only be replanted. Fortunately, there were plenty of He Hua rice seeds, so there was no need to worry about waste.
Based on Ji Yang’s previous farming experience, only once the seeds grew could he randomly obtain Light points during their growth or harvest.
However, ordinary crops in the mundane world yielded very few Light points, perhaps only one or two a day, and they were all white Light points.
Though He Hua rice was just a low-tier spiritual grain, it was still food for cultivators, and the harvest should be significantly better than before.
But the prerequisite was to cultivate the He Hua rice seeds into seedlings!
