Chapter 78: Are You There?
Ji Yang walked towards the other spiritual grains with a doubtful look.
Purple Rice: The autumn breeze is clear, the autumn moon is bright; fallen leaves gather and scatter, the cold crows perch and startle.
Ji Yang: …
Black Rock: Everything up there, get down here!
As Ji Yang entered the spiritual field, he heard countless voices of the spiritual grains, which confirmed to him that it was not just his imagination—he could indeed hear them talking.
Perhaps it could be said he was listening to their "breaths."
When Ji Yang closed the divine ability, the scenery returned to normal; the various spiritual grains stood still, showing no abnormality.
What a unique divine ability!
Ji Yang sighed inwardly, but there was no change in his expression.
All things have spirits, but most of them only possess instincts and do not have awakened intelligence. His divine ability merely allowed him to hear their words.
Wondering if he could communicate with them, Ji Yang activated the Breathing Technique of All Things again, trying to reach out to them.
"Hello, are you there?"
"Oh my, a person can talk!"
After Ji Yang greeted them, the Purple Rice spiritual grain was so alarmed that the light green in Ji Yang’s eyes turned completely black; the Purple Rice was frightened to death.
Ji Yang was speechless!
He could communicate, but it didn’t seem necessary.
Knowing the function of the divine ability, Ji Yang put it away and began to harvest the spiritual grains in the field.
All the spiritual grains were now ripe, and if not harvested in time, they would not grow a second batch and would slowly wither and die.
Ji Yang started by harvesting the supreme spiritual grain "Golden Fruit."
Since he didn’t have the appropriate magical tools, Ji Yang had to do it by hand.
At that moment, Little Black came running to help; Ji Yang didn’t mind it but secretly decided that everything Little Black bit off would be used for fishing.
After harvesting the Golden Fruit spiritual grains, Ji Yang found that the yield of this supreme spiritual grain wasn’t very high, around thirty stones for half an acre, and sixty stones for an acre, which was much less than the He Hua spiritual grains.
However, for Ji Yang, it was more than enough.
The flawless spiritual grain "Golden Fruit" only produced forty pounds of spiritual grains.
Compared to other grains, the yield was still decent.
And with these forty pounds of grain seeds, the future Golden Fruit spiritual grains would resemble the current ones, but they likely wouldn’t produce Purple Light Points anymore.
Nevertheless, Ji Yang was satisfied.
After harvesting all the spiritual grains, Ji Yang obtained a total of ninety stones of spiritual grains.
Each of the three types of spiritual grains produced an average yield of thirty stones.
These grains were plump, each about the size of a little finger, with distinct colors and various aromas, truly qualifying as top-quality spiritual grains.
If a cultivator in the Sensing stage used such spiritual grains to refine their body, the effects would be outstanding.
Ji Yang picked a supreme spiritual grain, "Golden Fruit," peeled off its husk, put it in his mouth, chewed a few times, and then swallowed.
Feeling the spiritual energy within his body stirring in waves, Ji Yang nodded slightly.
This supreme spiritual grain was also beneficial for Golden Core stage cultivators; long-term consumption could not only enhance their cultivation level but also strengthen their bodies.
However, for Ji Yang, its effects were not significant.
After harvesting all the spiritual grains, Ji Yang realized that his storage bag was full.
His storage bag was a standard product from the sect and had limited space.
With no other choice, Ji Yang moved the harvested spiritual grains to the wooden house where he had previously stored books.
Since there were only two books inside, he decided to use it as a grain storage room.
After piling the storage room high with grains, Ji Yang nodded in satisfaction.
However, Ji Yang still had quite a few seeds in hand, reserved for the next planting, including the special "Golden Fruit" spiritual grain in his storage bag.
Seeing Little Black, who had been busy for most of the day, Ji Yang tossed some of the grains that Little Black had chewed.
Little Black was overjoyed, biting down, chewing a few times, and swallowing it whole, looking unsatisfied.
Ji Yang didn’t have the heart to deny him; after all, Little Black was working for him, with all meals and lodging covered!
Once Ji Yang resolved the storage issue for the grains, he returned to the spiritual field, picked up a hoe, and started tilling the soil.
This time, he planned to expand the planting area to three acres, growing one acre of each type of spiritual grain, surrounding the wooden house on three sides, and using the other side to plant the Mid-tier Spiritual Plants.
Now that he had enough spiritual grains, Ji Yang didn’t have to worry about bait anymore and could even go fishing in the nearby pond when he had time.
Unfortunately, there weren’t many fish in the clear pond, and none were large.
Little Black, seeing this, came to help.
Though small in size, his biting force was strong; he easily pulled out a rice stalk buried in the spiritual field, working hard.
Little Black pulled from the front while Ji Yang tilled from behind.
In less than half a day, Ji Yang had cleared the spiritual field completely and expanded the area.
To enhance the soil’s fertility, Ji Yang burned all the rice straws to use as fertilizer.
Next was to deal with the seeds.
All the seeds he had still had two flaws. If he could reduce some, the growth of the seeds would be much better. If he could eliminate all the flaws, they would likely be like that "Golden Fruit" and wouldn’t attract pests, allowing him to sit back and wait for the harvest without any care.
Taking the seeds out from his storage bag, Ji Yang activated the Heart Sword divine ability.
Having reached the mid-stage of Golden Core, his Heart Sword’s power had also increased. If he went all out, he might be able to eliminate the flaws of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!
As Ji Yang swung his sword, the spiritual grains in his hand transformed beautifully.
Hmm, he had only eliminated one flaw; there was still one left, unless Ji Yang went all out!
But doing so would consume too much of Ji Yang’s True Essence. If he wanted to eliminate all flaws in every seed, it would take at least several months of effort.
That wasn’t necessary, especially since he had a worker right now.
Ji Yang glanced at Little Black at his feet and nodded in agreement, happily deciding that.
Over the next two days, Ji Yang took the time to reprocess all the seeds, benefiting from the abundant True Essence in his body and the rapid recovery of his magic thanks to the Feather Transformation Ascension Skill.
On the third day, Ji Yang planted all the seeds again, waiting for the results.
Looking at the doubled area of the spiritual field, Ji Yang felt a rush of satisfaction; hadn’t he just contracted a small mountain!
Meanwhile, Little Black gazed thoughtfully at the large three acres of land, a hint of anger in his eyes.
After finishing the planting, Ji Yang walked toward the spiritual field where the Mid-tier Spiritual Plants were growing.
In recent days, these Mid-tier Spiritual Plants had grown very slowly, which made Ji Yang unhappy. Remembering the new divine ability he had just acquired, he felt it was necessary to instill some discipline among them!
Including the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower that was still a seed, there were exactly twenty spiritual plants in this field.
Unfortunately, their growth speed was very slow. While they provided a little bit of Green Light Points each day, this was not the result Ji Yang desired.
Since there were no spiritual insects for now, Little Black was closely following behind.
When Little Black saw these several spiritual plants, his expression was filled with longing, and drool dripped everywhere.
Ji Yang approached the Mid-tier Spiritual Plants and activated the Breathing Technique of All Things!
"Hoo… Hoo…"
"Hoo…"
At this moment, all these spiritual plants were taking a deep sleep, but on one side, a rather discordant voice sounded.
Seven-Leaf Soul Flower: Dare to bury me in the dirt! I’ll die to show you!
