I live for ever in Cultivation World

Chapter 4: Spirit Planter

The Art of Spirit Rain is about attracting spiritual energy from the air and merging it into the rain.

The rain falls to the ground, allowing the spirit plants to absorb it.

As He Song performed the Art of Spirit Rain, Meng Guan, who was standing nearby, nodded slightly.

He Song's execution of the Art of Spirit Rain was quite impressive, clearly showing that he had put in a lot of effort.

The Art of Spirit Rain—passed.

"Alright, stop now, don't disturb others."

"Next, perform the Art of Spirit Arrows."

Hearing Meng Guan's slightly aged voice, He Song immediately stopped casting the spell.

Although the Art of Spirit Rain is useful, it depends on where it's used.

The Spirit Medicine Pavilion is within the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Market, where killing is strictly prohibited.

Casting spells is allowed, but if the mana fluctuations are too intense, it might attract the law enforcement team, who could mistake him for an evil cultivator.

However, since the Spirit Medicine Pavilion often has people applying to become spirit planters.

The mana fluctuations caused by the Art of Spirit Rain and the Art of Spirit Arrows are also very gentle, so there's no need to worry about attracting the law enforcement team.

With Meng Guan's approval again.

He Song's hand seals changed immediately.

"Art of Spirit Arrows!"

He silently recited in his heart, and with the mobilization of spiritual energy in his body, a spirit arrow condensed from spiritual energy soon appeared between He Song's fingers.

The cold light pulsed, resembling a sword's edge. The power of the Art of Spirit Arrows had been fully unleashed by He Song.

With just a thought from He Song, it could be released.

"Good, good, good."

"You're quite diligent. In this month, you haven't wasted any time. You've learned both spells quite well."

On the side, seeing that He Song had practiced both spells to the point where they could be performed normally without losing power, Meng Guan's gaze at He Song showed a bit more satisfaction.

A month ago, out of his duty to find spirit planters, he casually found a Qi Refinement level one rogue cultivator who had just entered the cultivation world and gave him the book "Spirit Plant Cultivation Techniques."

Originally, this move was just a casual act.

He didn't expect to get any feedback.

Over the years, he had done such things many times.

But who would have thought that a month later, this casual act would bring him a pleasant surprise.

He Song's diligence surprised him and, at the same time, gave him a slight fondness for He Song.

A small thing he did casually, but He Song didn't slack off at all.

Such an attitude pleased him greatly.

"With Senior's guidance, this junior naturally strives to do his best."

Faced with Meng Guan's praise, He Song had nothing to say and could only respond accordingly.

What else could he say?

That he only took twenty days to learn both spells, and the remaining ten days, he only spent three days, and the other seven days, he hadn't even crossed over yet.

Such things are not to be spoken of.

But at this moment, Meng Guan was in high spirits.

Even though He Song said so, his mood remained very good.

"Not bad, not arrogant or impatient, you have the potential to be a spirit planter." Meng Guan stroked his carefully groomed beard, looking at He Song with even more kindness.

"Come, since you are so diligent and have such a pure heart, from now on, you will be a spirit planter under my Spirit Medicine Pavilion." With that, Meng Guan got up and walked towards the backyard.

He Song quickly followed.

In the backyard, Meng Guan first prepared two sets of clothes specifically for spirit planters for He Song.

Then he filled a small bag with spirit rice seeds for him.

After doing these, Meng Guan took He Song out of the backyard and specifically pointed out five acres of spirit land for He Song.

He stated that those five acres of spirit land would be He Song's responsibility from now on.

In the future, if his cultivation level breaks through, he could apply for more spirit land here.

After becoming a spirit planter under the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, each time his cultivation level breaks through, he can apply for more spirit land to cultivate.

With higher cultivation levels, the spiritual energy in the body increases, and naturally, the amount of spirit land one can take care of also grows.

This allows spirit planters to earn more spirit stones.

This is also why so many people are eager to become spirit planters.

The income of a spirit planter is not fixed. The more spirit land one takes care of, and the higher the grade of spirit plants one cultivates, the higher the income.

If done well, this can be a smooth path to the Foundation Establishment realm.

But it takes time to achieve.

The amount of spirit stones one can earn each year is still too little.

He Song is already immortal, so naturally, he doesn't need to worry about time.

The path of a spirit planter is quite suitable for him.

A moment later.

After bidding farewell to Meng Guan, He Song quickly arrived at the location of the five acres of spirit land he was responsible for, following the map given by Meng Guan.

This place is not far from the Bamboo Mountain Market, practically right next to it.

Spirit land, of course, needs to be nourished by spiritual energy.

Only the concentration of spiritual energy around the market can support spirit land.

Further out, the concentration of spiritual energy is insufficient, and spirit land cannot form.

It can be said that wherever there is spirit land, the concentration of spiritual energy will not be low.

Naturally, it won't be too far from the market.

"This place is not far from where I live, and there's a main road connecting them. Safety shouldn't be an issue." Looking at the figures coming and going on the main road behind him, He Song felt reassured.

"The surrounding spirit lands seem to have already been planted with spirit rice seeds. It's spring now, so it's time to start farming." Looking around again, He Song raised an eyebrow, as if he had figured something out.

"Probably, Elder Meng gave out the 'Spirit Plant Cultivation Techniques' a month ago, anticipating this. Now is the time for spring plowing."

Various thoughts flashed through He Song's mind, and he suddenly realized that his previous body's luck seemed quite good.

Just after introducing Qi into his body and entering the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Market from the mortal world, he encountered Meng Guan searching for spirit planters before spring plowing, which led him step by step onto the path of a spirit planter.

If his previous body hadn't met Meng Guan, he might have been at a loss after crossing over.

But soon, He Song pushed these thoughts aside.

Now, the most important thing is farming!

With a gentle wave of his hand, strands of spiritual energy scattered the spirit rice seeds in his hand, spreading them across the five acres of spirit land.

After planting the spirit rice seeds.

He then performed the Art of Spirit Rain, covering all five acres of spirit land he managed.

Letting the spirit rain fall and irrigate the spirit land.

Strands of spiritual energy quickly gathered under the Art of Spirit Rain, merging into the spirit rain and falling into the spirit land to nourish the spirit rice seeds.

Stimulated by the spiritual energy, the spirit rice seeds in the spirit land underwent a wonderful change.

Half an hour later.

He Song, drenched in sweat, stopped the Art of Spirit Rain.

As an auxiliary spell, the Art of Spirit Rain consumes very little spiritual energy, but He Song's cultivation level is also low, only at the first level of Qi Refinement.

Under such circumstances, maintaining the Art of Spirit Rain for half an hour had drained the spiritual energy in He Song's body.

But even so, He Song showed no signs of discouragement.

This is what being a spirit planter is like.

The growth of spirit rice requires the spirit planter to perform the Art of Spirit Rain for half an hour every day, plus taking care of the spirit land to prevent pest infestations. Only after a year of such meticulous care can spirit rice be harvested.

Such tedious cultivation is what makes spirit rice so expensive.
