Chapter 58: No Need to Thank Me, Nephew Ji
Seeing that the spiritual fields had all been tilled, Ji Yang used the Planting Technique to plant the seeds again and then performed the Small Rain Technique.
With some free time, Ji Yang looked at the empty spiritual field and suddenly felt a bit empty inside. Compared to farming, mining felt much more tangible.
Back in the wooden house, Ji Yang began to study the various spells he had previously recorded.
With a late-stage Foundation Establishment level, Ji Yang’s understanding of spells deepened, and combined with his inherent talent, he found it incredibly easy.
The next day, Ji Yang left the wooden house early.
A whole night was enough for He Hua rice to sprout, and it was time for harvest.
But when Ji Yang went out and saw the situation in the spiritual field, he couldn’t help but frown.
Although the rice sprouts had emerged, what did the sparse White Light Points mean?
Among the sparse White Light Points, there were occasionally one or two Green Light Points, but there were no Blue Light Points at all.
Ji Yang, who had anticipated this to some extent, sighed slightly upon seeing this scene.
It hadn’t been obvious when farming in the mortal world, but Ji Yang could feel that if the same type of seeds were planted, the count of White Light Points would decrease with the second planting. At that time, he thought it was due to not using fertilizer.
Later, he discovered that it wasn’t; when changing seasons and planting different crops, the White Light Points would increase again.
He just hadn’t expected the situation with the spiritual grains to be more serious. It seemed he would have to choose to plant a different type of spiritual grains.
But Ji Yang wasn’t worried; there were many varieties of spiritual grains in the Cultivation World, and he had no concerns about finding land to plant.
Just as Ji Yang considered looking for some new seeds, a streak of light flashed across the sky and quickly descended in front of him!
Ji Yang was initially puzzled, then nodded and said, “I have met Elder Tai!”
The person who arrived was indeed Elder Tai, who had reported the spiritual grains matter to the sect yesterday. Ji Yang hadn’t expected him to return so quickly. It seemed the Sect Master was extremely decisive in handling matters; if it were in his past life, wouldn’t it take ten days or eight months?
“Hmm!”
Elder Tai landed, smiled, and nodded, then looked Ji Yang up and down, saying with satisfaction, “As expected of Peak Master Ye’s esteemed disciple, you carry yourself with dignity and a dignified appearance.”
Ji Yang forced a couple of smiles, but Elder Tai didn’t mind and continued, “I have reported the details of the spiritual grains to the Sect Master. After discussions with the elders, it has been decided that this spiritual grains will benefit the sect. In a few days, new He Hua spiritual grains will be promoted in the sect and each peak! Because the new spiritual grains have an extremely high yield, the monthly task assessment for my Feng Ling Valley will need to be raised to eighty stones.”
Hearing this, Ji Yang remembered the spiritual grains he had just sent out and felt a little embarrassed. Other disciples should be able to produce eighty stones of spiritual grains, right?
“Because this spiritual grains has extraordinary effects, the sect will not skimp on your rewards. The sect has decided to let you name the new spiritual grains. Additionally, you will be allowed to select three treasures from the Unity with the Dao secret realm! What do you think of this reward?”
Ji Yang’s eyes lit up at this. What was the Unity with the Dao secret realm?
That was a space specifically opened by the sect to store precious items obtained over the years; it could be considered the sect’s treasury!
As a top sect with a legacy spanning thousands of years, it certainly housed no shortage of valuable items.
Compared to the Zixin ore he had previously mined, this was truly a reward! Any reductions in punishment were not important at all.
Thinking of this, Ji Yang hurriedly nodded, “The disciple has no objections.”
“Have you thought of a name for the new spiritual grains, Nephew Ji?”
Ji Yang paused upon hearing this. Although it seemed like an honor, he did not think much of it; what he needed was not this.
However, seeing Elder Tai’s eager expression, Ji Yang felt a stir in his heart and said, “I’m not very good at naming things. I wonder if Elder Tai has any suggestions?”
Elder Tai glanced at Ji Yang suspiciously. Such opportunities to gain fame in the sect were rare; though it was only a title, it was an honor sought by every disciple.
But thinking of Ji Yang’s status, Elder Tai understood a bit more and sighed inwardly, saying, “Actually, the name He Hua spiritual grains is quite good.”
“I also think it’s nice; let’s stick with He Hua spiritual grains,” Ji Yang replied, though he felt puzzled, he went along.
“Great!”
Elder Tai beamed upon hearing this. Although Ji Yang was confused, he did not forget his purpose and said, “Elder Tai, I would like to plant some new spiritual grains. I wonder if you have any extra seeds?”
“Of course, of course, it’s just seeds, right?”
“Let’s see if there are enough.”
After saying this, Elder Tai took out several different types of seeds from his storage ring and introduced them one by one:
“This is top-quality spiritual grains, Purple Rice.”
“This is top-quality spiritual grains, Black Rock.”
“This is superb spiritual grains, Golden Fruit.”
…
Upon hearing Elder Tai’s introductions, Ji Yang’s eyes lit up. He didn’t expect Elder Tai to be so generous and offer superb spiritual grains. Even the seeds themselves were quite precious, even better than ordinary spiritual plants.
“That’s enough, that’s enough.”
Seeing Ji Yang satisfied, Elder Tai smiled and nodded again, but soon remembered something and said, “The previous rewards were given by the sect. However, this matter is also very beneficial for my Feng Ling Valley. Originally, your merits did not outweigh your demerits, but I specifically asked the Sect Master on your behalf and eliminated the remaining punishment you had in Feng Ling Valley!”
“How does this reward sound to you, Nephew Ji?”
Upon hearing Elder Tai’s words, Ji Yang’s smile suddenly froze.
Seeing Ji Yang’s expression, Elder Tai thought he was so happy he could not speak and quickly added, “There’s no need to thank me, Nephew Ji. You made such a great contribution to the sect; this is merely the removal of a punishment. It’s the least I could do!”
“I thank you, Elder!” Ji Yang gritted his teeth and replied.
“Alright, I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now. You can leave directly, Nephew Ji.”
With that, Elder Tai soared into the sky, where another elder was already waiting.
“Tai He Hua, why are you dawdling!”
Once the two were far away, Ji Yang felt somewhat speechless.
Tai He Hua, is that Elder Tai’s full name? No wonder he was so excited earlier; he was worried I might change his name!
But thinking that he had just left for a month and would have to go out again made Ji Yang sigh; this was troublesome.
However, looking at the seeds on the ground and the opportunity to enter the treasury, Ji Yang smiled again. The harvest was still decent; once he went out, he would check to see what good things were in the Unity with the Dao secret realm.
As for the punishment, wasn’t it an easy matter?
In such a large sect, it was normal for disciples to have conflicts and disagreements. He merely intervened in time; the punishment was just an unfortunate necessity.
Thinking this way, Ji Yang’s expression became much more relaxed.
