I live for ever in Cultivation World

Chapter 2: The Art of Spirit Rain

What can thirty-plus spirit stones be used for?

You can buy six Thick Earth Talismans.

You can buy three hundred catties * of spirit rice.

You can buy sixty catties of low-grade demon beast meat.

And then, that's it!

If I really bought these things, I'm afraid I would immediately be unable to even afford a meal.

To avoid being kicked out and to prevent myself from starving to death,

learning a craft that can be used to make money as soon as possible has become He Song's top priority.

Following the memories of his previous body, He Song once again rummaged through his belongings.

When he returned to the only table in the room, a few more items appeared before him.

Two crumpled Thick Earth Talismans*.

A book titled "Spirit Plant Cultivation Techniques."

A cultivation manual that can be practiced up to the ninth level of Qi Refinement, "Thick Earth Method."

Plus the thirty-plus spirit stones already on the table.

These items.

Became He Song's entire possessions.

"After finally making it out of the countryside and settling in a big city in my previous life, do I have to start farming again after crossing over?"

Looking at the "Spirit Plant Cultivation Techniques" before him, a look of existential doubt flashed across He Song's face.

Farming wasn't unfamiliar to him; he was a country boy in his previous life, and through constant exposure, he was quite familiar with farming techniques.

But who would have thought that after crossing over and becoming a cultivator, he would still need to pick up the farming skills from his previous life?

In the cultivation world, those who make a living by cultivating spirit rice or other spirit plants are collectively called spirit planters.

Spirit planters don't earn much, but their income is relatively stable.

As long as they take good care of the spirit plants, they can have a decent income every year.

For low-level cultivators, this is a good path.

The "Spirit Plant Cultivation Techniques" he found in his room was obtained by his previous body, who intended to develop in the direction of a spirit planter.

After pondering for a moment,

He Song picked up the "Spirit Plant Cultivation Techniques" on the table and began to read it.

The "Spirit Plant Cultivation Techniques" only recorded the cultivation methods for two types of spirit plants and the practice methods for two spells.

"The cultivation method for spirit rice."

"The cultivation method for golden bamboo."

"The Art of Spirit Rain."

"The Art of Spirit Arrows."

Spirit rice, when mature, yields spirit rice, which is the staple food of cultivators.

Golden bamboo, a specialty of the Bamboo Mountain Market, is as hard as iron and can be used for refining tools, but it has a long maturation period.

The Art of Spirit Rain, a spell that uses spiritual power to irrigate spirit plants.

The Art of Spirit Arrows, a spell to kill pests in spirit plant gardens.

In addition, the "Spirit Plant Cultivation Techniques" also indicated that once you learn the Art of Spirit Rain and the Art of Spirit Arrows and thoroughly read this book, you can apply to the Bamboo Mountain Market to become a spirit planter. The Bamboo Mountain Market will then provide five acres* of spirit land and the corresponding spirit plant seeds for free.

However, once you become a spirit planter for the Bamboo Mountain Market, all the spirit plants you grow will be purchased by the market at 30% of the market price.

Spirit rice that sells for ten spirit stones per hundred catties on the market will be bought by the Bamboo Mountain Market for three spirit stones per hundred catties.

With such a commission, even though spirit rice has a high yield of a thousand catties per acre, a spirit planter working hard for a year on five acres of spirit land can only earn a maximum of one hundred and fifty spirit stones.

An annual income of one hundred and fifty spirit stones, if living in the market, would be mostly consumed by the annual rent of one hundred and twenty spirit stones.

After a year of hard work, deducting the rent, only thirty spirit stones would remain.

This truly is earning money in the market and spending it in the market, not a single penny to take home.

But even so, if one wants to stay in the market, the profession of a spirit planter is still highly sought after.

Not for anything else.

Firstly, because there are Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed in the market, making it very safe.

Secondly, because the concentration of spiritual energy in the market is much stronger than outside, allowing for faster cultivation.

"Forget it, let's survive first. Earning less is earning less. Anyway, I have infinite lifespan, and as long as I absorb spiritual energy during the Qi Refinement stage, I can become stronger. Since the market is safe and the cultivation speed is faster than outside, I'll stay here for now."

After carefully reading the "Spirit Plant Cultivation Techniques," He Song made his decision.

Settling down, He Song quickly immersed himself in the knowledge brought by the book.

The cultivation method for spirit rice.

The cultivation method for golden bamboo.

The Art of Spirit Rain.

The Art of Spirit Arrows.

With a glance, strands of comprehension surged like a spring, appearing in He Song's mind.

Having experience in cultivating rice in his previous life, He Song quickly understood the cultivation method for spirit rice.

Spirit rice, after all, is just rice containing spiritual energy, and it has similarities with ordinary rice.

However, spirit rice needs spirit land to nourish it and the Art of Spirit Rain to irrigate it.

After fully grasping the cultivation method for spirit rice, He Song soon began practicing the Art of Spirit Rain and the Art of Spirit Arrows.

The cultivation methods for spirit rice and golden bamboo only need to be understood.

The Art of Spirit Rain and the Art of Spirit Arrows are the key to becoming a spirit planter!

Without these two spells, even if you are well-versed in cultivation methods, you still can't grow qualified spirit rice and golden bamboo.

Spell practice takes a long time.

Although He Song immersed himself in it, due to his low cultivation level, he still needed to eat.

Therefore, when the sky darkened, He Song was finally awakened by hunger.

Looking out the window, He Song was slightly surprised.

Unconsciously.

He had been immersed in the spells for an entire day.

If it weren't for the hunger waking him up, he might have continued to immerse himself.

"Is this the spell of the cultivation world? By mobilizing the spiritual energy in the body and performing hand seals, various magical effects can be produced."

With the key points of the Art of Spirit Rain flashing in his mind, He Song sighed, but his body subconsciously mobilized the spiritual energy in his body and began to perform hand seals.

This was his subconscious action.

Like a child who just got a new toy, always wanting to play with it.

Learning a spell in just half a day, ordinary cultivators probably haven't even started.

Even if the Art of Spirit Rain is simple, a first-level Qi Refinement cultivator would still need ten days to half a month of practice to perform it perfectly.

However, the next moment.

Buzz!

He Song felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

When he looked up, he was shocked.

At this moment, a small cloud-like mist floated quietly above He Song's head.

As He Song's gaze swept over, strands of water vapor began to permeate the small cloud above his head.

Plop!

When the first drop of spirit rain fell from the cloud onto He Song's face, he was once again awakened.

This is! The Art of Spirit Rain!

Although the cloud above his head was very small, the spiritual energy it contained was real.

It was just that He Song's first attempt was not skilled, and the cloud formed by the spell was extremely small.

But, the Art of Spirit Rain is the Art of Spirit Rain!

Once performed, it means you have started, and with more practice, you can soon perform a normal Art of Spirit Rain that can cover several acres of spirit land.

The cloud formed by the Art of Spirit Rain above his head soon dissipated.

But He Song's heart was now filled with fervor.
