Chapter 72: Rice Water Beetle
Not thinking too much, Ji Yang moved around in the spiritual field, absorbing all the Light Points produced.

…
The previously lacking Yun Ling Dan increased again.
Since this time, he planted all top-quality spiritual grains and the area was even larger than before, the harvest of Yun Ling Dan was significant, with about twenty or so, allowing him to cast his rod over twenty times, which was quite good.
After Ji Yang absorbed all the Light Points, he noticed some special conditions in the spiritual field he had cleared.
There were pests!
Though they were still just immature larvae and hadn’t yet threatened his spiritual grain seedlings, this discovery made Ji Yang frown slightly.
The He Hua spiritual grains he had planted before sometimes had pests, but that was only after a while; this time, it came too early.
However, Ji Yang didn’t worry too much. With the Golden Rain Technique, dealing with spiritual insects was easy; he decided to let those larvae grow for another two days.
After confirming there were no other issues with the spiritual grains in the field, Ji Yang walked again to the other side of the wooden house to check on the spiritual plant seeds he had planted yesterday!
He thought there would be no changes, but seeing a small seedling slightly sprouting from the ground still brought him some joy.
Moreover, the seedling was accompanied by a Green Light Point.
Ji Yang reached out to absorb it.
Yun Ling Dan +1
He guessed correctly; the Green Light Points produced by spiritual plants were also Yun Ling Dan, and as a Mid-tier Spiritual Plant, it provided Green Light Points just after sprouting, which was a nice surprise.
Looking over at the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower beside it, well, there was still no change!
After handling everything, Ji Yang once again used the Large Cloud Rain Technique, covering the areas of spiritual grains and spiritual plants completely. The rain not only made the spiritual grains grow faster, but even the larvae started greedily absorbing it and growing quite quickly.
Ji Yang didn’t look further, picked up his fishing rod, and flew down to the clear pond.
With no other bait available, Ji Yang could only choose Yun Ling Dan!
He didn’t know if it was because Ji Yang had used Yun Ling Dan for fishing yesterday that it spread among the fish.
As soon as Ji Yang reached the edge of the pond, countless Red-tailed Spiritual Fish swam in the water, creating waves.
Ji Yang didn’t hesitate; he took out his fishing rod, hooked on the Yun Ling Dan, and started fishing.
Before the Yun Ling Dan even hit the water, several Red-tailed Spiritual Fish leapt out of the pond, rushing towards the Yun Ling Dan!
Such an enthusiastic scene startled Ji Yang a bit; it seemed Yun Ling Dan was even more popular than he had imagined.
With the addition of the Red-tailed Spiritual Fish, his harvest improved significantly.

…
Although not every Red-tailed Spiritual Fish brought him Mid-tier Spiritual Plants, about one-fifth of the twenty or so Yun Ling Dan came from the Mid-tier Spiritual Plants.
The rest were all Four Attributes.
As for the Blue Light Points, they still didn’t appear, but Ji Yang no longer expected these fish to produce Blue Light Points; having Mid-tier Spiritual Plants was already good.
After using up all the Yun Ling Dan, Ji Yang sighed, realizing he still lacked enough bait, and regretted that the spiritual grains weren’t growing very quickly.
While the top-quality spiritual grains had shed their flaws, they would still take at least half a month to fully mature.
Ji Yang intended to pull up his rod and leave, but seeing those Red-tailed Spiritual Fish still swimming in the clear pond, he rubbed his fingers and cast his rod again!
As the fishing rod flew out, countless Red-tailed Spiritual Fish vied to show off, starting to bite the hooks.
But when a Red-tailed Spiritual Fish bit the hook, it realized something was off; there was no bait on the hook!
Looking at the hooked Red-tailed Spiritual Fish, Ji Yang grinned as he reeled it in and absorbed the Green Light Point caught.
Mid-tier Spiritual Plants +1
How pleasant!
Ji Yang tossed the hooked Red-tailed Spiritual Fish into the pond, then used the same trick again.
Since the news hadn’t spread yet, a Red-tailed Spiritual Fish bit again, and he collected a White Light Point.
Unfortunately, after several times of catching fish without bait, the Red-tailed Spiritual Fish stopped taking the hook, so Ji Yang had to head back home, but he was in a good mood.
Considering this, he saved quite a few baits!
When Ji Yang returned to the peak, he checked on the spiritual grains again and found that many spiritual insects had begun to grow rapidly and showed signs of devouring the spiritual grain seedlings.
This time, the spiritual insects were not the previous rice water caterpillars, but a new kind called Rice Water Beetle!
This made Ji Yang frown slightly and decide to take precautions by eliminating these pests.
Having just planted the spiritual grains, if these insects devoured them, he would have nothing to eat.
Ji Yang didn’t hesitate. He quickly used his magic and cast the Golden Rain Technique!
As the rain fell, Ji Yang observed the spiritual grains and the Rice Water Beetles.
This spell combined the Golden Insect Technique and Small Rain Technique to deal with pests, and it had worked well against the rice water caterpillars last time.
But this time, Ji Yang was surprised to find that his spell seemed ineffective.
The Rice Water Beetles had tough shells, giving them strong resistance against water-type spells. They excelled at absorbing moisture and could even use the rainwater for their own defense.
With their hard shells, the Golden Insect Technique in the rain couldn’t penetrate their bodies!
And if it didn’t rain, that was fine, but after the rain, Ji Yang noticed they seemed to grow even faster, defying logic entirely.
Their stubbornness was worse than that of the rice water caterpillars.
No wonder top-quality and supreme spiritual grains were hard to cultivate.
Seeing these pests about to devour his spiritual grains, Ji Yang didn’t have time to modify his Golden Rain Technique and decided to use other methods!
Thousands of Sword Energies!
Ji Yang lightly tapped his finger and used this technique he had just learned.
Compared to the Golden Insect Technique, Thousands of Sword Energies was clearly at a much higher level, not only more powerful but also able to carry Ji Yang’s True Essence attributes and technique characteristics!
When detecting the impending danger, the Rice Water Beetles initially wanted to flee.
But when Ji Yang made his move, they froze in place.
This made Ji Yang marvel at how his technique characteristics and Thousands of Sword Energies were being used on the pests for the first time.
In addition, Thousands of Sword Energies had other advantages, no longer limited to single-target attacks; with enough True Essence, Ji Yang could unleash countless sword energies.
Since this was Ji Yang’s first time using this spell, and the Rice Water Beetles were clinging to the spiritual grain seedlings or hiding underground, Ji Yang needed to act carefully to avoid harming the seedlings.
As his skill improved, the sword energies he produced went from a single finger to two fingers, three fingers, five fingers, and then ten fingers.
Each sword energy could precisely eliminate a pest, although he initially made some mistakes, such as accidentally slicing two seedlings, which caused Ji Yang great pain, prompting him to be more cautious.
