Chapter 949: Farming

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

Even with Mo Wuji's cultivation level, he felt a strong dizzy sensation, which reflected how far a distance he was traveling. By the time he woke up again, he was already in the center of a transfer array.

Without exiting the array, his spiritual will immediately scanned outwards. This seemed to be an underground stone house. The house did not have a door outside, but instead, there was a layer of restrictions that blocked off spiritual will. Beyond the restriction were soil and rocks. Due to the presence of the restrictions, his spiritual will could not stretch out any further.

Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. This was probably an area that had not been visited for a very long period of time.

After confirming that there was no danger, he walked out of the transfer array and the spiritual will blocking restrictions, taking out an Earth Escape Talisman at the same time.

Out of the elemental escape techniques, Mo Wuji only knew the Wind Escape Technique. Hence, for him to move through the earth, he could only borrow the power of an Earth Escape Talisman.

An hour later, he emerged from the surface of the ground.

The land that he stood on was a barren manor which had broken walls all around, which made it appeared very run down. Even though it was the middle of the day, the area still appeared rather shady.

The scene before him reminded him of the Lightning Sword Manor as it seemed like no one had come it after someone wiped out the entire sect or organisation.

His spiritual will swept out once more, and as expected the surroundings were very barren. Only a few hundred meters ahead was there a long river.

With a casual motion, Mo Wuji plucked out a stalk of Rain Storing G.o.d Gra.s.s, a Tier 2 G.o.d spiritual herb. Since this manor had Tier 2 G.o.d spiritual herbs, it must have been not simple.

Just as he wanted to leave the manor, a flying car suddenly roared past, stopping right in front of it.

A ravis.h.i.+ng woman walked out of it, and once she came out, he began heading towards the manor. When she did so, she immediately saw Mo Wuji who was about to walk out.

"What are you doing here?" The beautiful woman asked one question and she figured out what Mo Wuji was here for. Her gaze fell on the stalk of Tier 2 G.o.d spiritual herb, Rain Storing G.o.d Gra.s.s, in his hands.

Mo Wuji quickly bowed respectfully, "I saw that there were some G.o.d spiritual herbs here, so I wanted to come in to take a look. I didn't know that this is elder sister's territory. I just arrived here, and only took a stalk of Rain Storing G.o.d Gra.s.s."

Elder sister? When the beautiful woman heard Mo Wuji address her, her eyes turned slightly red. How long had it been since someone called her 'elder sister'? As her spiritual will scanned past in an instant, she confirmed that he was speaking the truth. This was because there was indeed only one stalk of Rain Storing G.o.d Gra.s.s that was plucked out by him.

"You came to the Mei Clan Manor alone to find G.o.d spiritual herbs, are you not afraid?" The beautiful woman asked as she was puzzled.

Afraid? Mo Wuji returned the question, "Elder sister, but there are no barricades here. Does that mean that cultivators are not allowed to enter the area to look for G.o.d spiritual herbs? I'll leave immediately."

The beautiful woman replied with a smile, "It's nothing much. You shouldn't be a cultivator from around here right?"

In response, Mo Wuji quickly nodded, "Yes, I'm a rogue cultivator from very far away. My talent for cultivation is very low, and I'm looked down upon by others, so I left to a place far away from my hometown hoping that I can create a miracle for myself."

"Hope that I can create a miracle for myself…" Upon hearing Mo Wuji's words, the beautiful woman repeated them in a mumble. Following which, she went into deep thought, as though she had suddenly thought of something.

Based on his sensing, this beautiful woman's cultivation level was likely G.o.d Monarch, hence he dared not carelessly leave. Moreover, there were a few female servants that followed her here, and they stood waiting by the flying car outside the manor.

Thankfully she regained her senses rather quickly, and her gaze that fell on Mo Wuji softened up much more, "There's nothing wrong about being untalented, I hope that you can preserve this mindset of searching for a miracle of your own. If you don't mind, you can join our Minor High Firmament Sect."

Join the Minor High Firmament Sect? Mo Wuji was shocked by the offer. Was this really the G.o.d Continent? Sects in the G.o.d Continent were this easy to join? One could join a sect as he pleased? Why was there the need to have a 'Minor High Firmament Sect' instead of a plain 'High Firmament Sect' too?

The beautiful woman knew that Mo Wuji must have misunderstood her words, so she explained with a slight smile, "Your spirituality isn't very obvious, so it must mean that your spiritual roots are of very low quality. By join, I didn't mean for you to join as a disciple of the Minor High Firmament Sect, but to help the sect plant spiritual rice and some ordinary G.o.d spiritual herbs."

So that's how he would join the sect. In the end, it was just the position of an errand boy. As for the 'if you don't mind' that she said, Mo Wuji ignored it completely. It was said out of consideration for his ego, and it seemed like there was serious compet.i.tion for the position of planting G.o.d spiritual gra.s.s and rice for Minor High Firmament Sect.

As he thought of the fact that he had just arrived here, and his cultivation level was stuck, Mo Wuji agreed after a short moment of hesitation, "Thank you elder sister for giving me this opportunity. I'm willing to join the Minor High Firmament Sect."

Could this even be considered an opportunity? The beautiful woman evaluated Mo Wuji with a gaze once more. Although she had only exchanged a few sentences with him, she had the feeling that Mo Wuji was a person with some background, and he also reminded her of her dead younger brother.

This thought flashed through her mind before she told the two female servants waiting outside, "Mian He, send…"

"That's right, what's your name?" The beautiful woman only then recalled that she had not asked Mo Wuji for his name all this while.

"My name is Mo Wuji." Mo Wuji confirmed that this wasn't G.o.d Domain, so he did not have to continue hiding his real name.

Nodding her head, the beautiful woman said, "Go, even though planting spiritual plants is rather tough, but there's one chance for you to go to the sect to listen to dao every year. Regardless whether this is the miracle you were looking for, it's at least an opportunity."

"Thank you elder sister.' Mo Wuji quickly bowed out of grat.i.tude. She had given him a job just after meeting him once, how lucky was that. He didn't mind the work, but the main priority was to settle down as soon as possible, then investigate why he couldn't advance in cultivation level while gathering information about the G.o.d Continent.

"Mian He, being Mo Wuji to Minor High Firmament Village and help him arrange for a plot of land. Instruct Deacon Guang to take care of Mo Wuji." After finis.h.i.+ng her piece, the beautiful woman no longer bothered with Mo Wuji, instead, she stared at the dilapidated manor, seemingly immersing herself deeply into a memory.

Mo Wuji quietly bowed respectfully and left the manor.

A young lady wearing a green coloured skirt walked over and calmly spoke to Mo Wuji, "Please follow me."

After that, she even took out a flying s.h.i.+p.

"Thank you Elder Sister Mian He." Mo Wuji thanked before following her up the flying s.h.i.+p.

Once the flying s.h.i.+p started moving, Mo Wuji asked, "Elder Sister Mian He, why does that elder sister think that I'm very courageous to go to the Mei Clan Manor to search for G.o.d spiritual herbs by myself?"

As she felt that Mo Wuji had a glib tongue, the young lady no longer maintained an expressionless face as she replied, "The Mei Clan Manor is where my lady was born, and other than people of the Mei Clan, any cultivators of other surnames will have their spirit channels and spiritual roots destroyed after entering for a prolonged period of time. For the more serious cases, their primordial spirit could even be dissolved."

When he heard this reply, Mo Wuji dared not probe further. The Mei Clan Manor had obviously been destroyed by others, and that beautiful woman was also going to commemorate the pa.s.sing of her loved ones. He suspected that the Mei Clan Manor was related to the Nirvana Ocean as one's primordial spirit, spiritual roots, and spirit channels would be corroded in there as well.

"That's right, elder sister, why is our sect called Minor High Firmament Sect, and is the job of planting spiritual herbs very important?" Mo Wuji had countless questions to ask, and this Mian He, while she appeared rather strict, had divulged quite some information after a few questions from him.

This was indeed the G.o.d Continent. The area on the G.o.d Continent was split into a few areas. There was the High G.o.d Land, Middle G.o.d Land, and Low G.o.d Land.

This location in the G.o.d Continent belonged to an ordinary area and could be considered as the border of the Low and Middle G.o.d Lands. There was also a High Firmament G.o.d Sect in the G.o.d Continent, and this sect was one of the top sects, located in the High G.o.d Lands. Under normal circ.u.mstances, the High Firmament G.o.d Sect would not set up a branch in such an area.

However, many years ago, one of the outer disciples of the High Firmament G.o.d Sect made a name for himself and set up a sect here. In order to not get in the way of the main sect's glory, the outer disciple named his sect the Minor High Firmament Sect.

Hence, the Minor High Firmament Sect could be considered a subsidiary sect of the High Firmament G.o.d Sect, but of course to the High Firmament G.o.d Sect, the existence of the Minor High Firmament Sect was negligible.

The person Mian He referred to as 'my lady' was named Mei Qian Qian, and she usually didn't bother about things. But this time, not only did she arrange for Mo Wuji to go to Minor High Firmament Village, she also sent her close female slave to bring him there. Based on what Mian He said, this was really a first.

…

The Minor High Firmament Village wasn't far away from the Mei Clan Manor, and on the way, Mian He explained many things to Mo Wuji. A half a day later, the flying s.h.i.+p stopped beside a large plot of farmland.

That's right, farmland. It was some G.o.d spiritual rice that was planted here, ad Mo Wuji could even see some people at work in the paddy fields.

If it weren't for the dense G.o.d spiritual energy that flowed over, Mo Wuji would have thought that he had to start farming.

"There's really dense G.o.d spiritual energy here." Mo Wuji exclaimed.

Mian He explained, " There are G.o.d spiritual veins planted underneath this area, so my lady really wanted to help you when she sent you here. As long as you work hard, cultivating here might be even better than what the outer disciples experience."

"No one has tried to steal the G.o.d spiritual veins?" Mo Wuji was puzzled.

With a cold chuckle, Mian He replied, "Who dares to steal the G.o.d spiritual veins inside the G.o.d spiritual farm? Even cultivators don't dare to cultivate here, much less steal. The G.o.d spiritual veins are meant to provide nourishment for the medicine and rice farms, so other than the rice planter, no one dares to cultivate here. All those who plant G.o.d spiritual rice have very poor spiritual roots, are hopeless cultivators, or even mortals. They basically can't cultivate at all."

This made Mo Wuji silent. He knew that the main rice planted here was Green Dew Rice. According to Mian He, the entire G.o.d Continent consumed Green Dew Rice. This rice had dense elemental energy in it, and eating it for long periods of time can help cultivators increase their insights and break through bottlenecks.

However, these weren't the main function of the rice, which was that it could counteract pill poison. This by itself was already very impressive, after all, which cultivator didn't consume pills? After one took too many pills, one would naturally fear pill poison. Hence rice that served as an antidote for pill poison naturally became valuable.

For these reasons, almost every sect would plant Green Dew Rice, but it was a pity that the amount of rice produced was too low, and the amount of G.o.d spiritual energy it absorbed was too much. On top of that, rice planted at different locations and by different people could be split into a few grades.

Chapter 950: I Am A Mortal

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

Mian He brought Mo Wuji into a building at the borders of large farmland. The stone building had six floors, but only a few people occupied the inside.

Mo Wuji thought that the beautiful woman had asked Mian He to bring him over, and also to instruct the Deacon Guang to take care of him. Logically speaking, that woman should have had some level of power. However, once he entered, he suspected whether he had guessed wrongly.

None of the people greeted Mian He after seeing her.

By the time she had brought him to a large room on the top floor, none of the people in the room stood up, which alerted him to how weird the greeting situation was.

"Deacon Guang, Lady Mei asked me to send Mo Wuji here to work. Give him some land, and arrange for him to stay at somewhere better." Mian He spoke courteously.

Only at this point did the man sitting in the center of the room look up and sweep him gaze across Mian He while replying, "How is there any location in the Minor High Firmament Village that has available work to be done? There are no G.o.d spiritual farms already. Go back and tell Mei Qianqian not to send everyone here."

Mo Wuji's heart sank. He suspected that Lady Mei wasn't clear about her position here. Otherwise, why would something like this happen?

The expression of Mian He's face changed, and she directly took out a token, "Guang Zhi, I now order you with the power of Firmament Pond Mountain to immediately arrange for Mo Wuji to plant Green Dew Rice here."

Guang Zhi slowly rose from his seat, and coldly stared st Mian He before taking out a book from the side. After randomly flipping through it a few times, he took out a black token and threw it to Mo Wuji, "This is your ident.i.ty token. From now on you're a plant cultivator of Minor High Firmament Village. You have one plot of land, plot D79. You are required to pay 20 catties of Green Dew Rice a year. Since you're new, I won't set any requirement for the quality."

Although Mo Wuji didn't know the production capacity of Green Dew Rice, a plot of farmland was definitely not much. A plot here was around 600 square kilometres large. As a precaution against Guang Zhi, who didn't seem like a good person, Mo Wuji secretly recorded the entire conversation down.

"Manager Guang, are you trying to bully someone that hasn't planted Green Dew Rice before? One plot of farmland can produce 20 catties of Green Dew Rice? Moreover, I've heard that those who plant Green Dew Rice here have at least 10 plots, so why did you only give Mo Wuji one plot?" Mian He questioned angrily.

With a cold laughter, Guang Zhi replied, "I've already done as Firmament Pond Mountain requested and given him a plot of land, what else do you want? I've followed the sect rules, so if you're unhappy, please go to lodge a complaint against me with the sect. Other people can produce 30-50 catties of Green Dew Rice with one plot of land, so is it too much for me to ask for 20 catties from him?

Upon hearing this, Mian He became speechless. She didn't know whether 20 catties of Green Dew Rice from one plot of land was considered a lot or not.

Deep inside, Guang Zhi was laughing to himself. The plot of land that could produce 30-50 catties of Green Dew Rice was an A grade farmland. A D grade farmland wanted to produce 20 catties of Green Dew Rice? Then it would be too easy to obtain Green Dew Rice.

Mo Wuji probed further, "What if I can harvest more than 20 catties of rice from my plot of land, does the excess belong to me?"

Laughing, Guang Zhi replied, "Of course it belongs to you, otherwise do you think that there'll still be people planting Green Dew Rice here? Even if you have an excess of 200 catties, you can do whatever you want with it."

While Mian He did not understand much, she knew a little more about Green Dew Rice than Mo Wuji. After hearing Guang Zhi's words, she quickly told Mo Wuji, "Mo Wuji, you must not sell the excess Green Dew Rice. You have to eat them yourself. Planting Green Dew Rice requires one to eat Green Dew Rice, otherwise you'll weaken your vitality and add an additional burden to your spirit channels. Not only will this affect your lifespan, but your cultivation as well."

Now Mo Wuji finally understood everything: why there was such dense spiritual energy here, and why the people planting Green Dew Rice were those with poor spiritual roots and mortals.

Guang Zhi mocked Mo Wuji in his heart, but never gave an answer. One plot of grade D land could definitely not meet the 20 catty Green Dew Rice requirement. As for leaving some behind to eat? He he, dream on.

Mo Wuji kept the jade token and said, "Could Manager Guang please pa.s.s me the rice seeds?"

Staring at Mo Wuji through the corner of his eyes, Guang Zhi spoke with a hint of sarcasm, "This is your first time here, so let me tell you a rule. Anyone that comes here to ask for rice must buy them with G.o.d crystals. I can give you 100 rice seeds, but it'll cost you 100 high grade G.o.d crystals."

"100 rice seeds cost 100 high grade G.o.d crystals?' Mo Wuji couldn't help but ask.

This was too much of a scam right? Even though he had never seen the seeds of Green Dew Rice, he knew that those that Guang Zhi gave him would definitely be of the worst quality, not any good ones, and this price was surely extremely expensive.

"Is it ok for the rice seeds to be ok the same kind?" Guang Zhi asked as though as Mo Wuji didn't say anything.

Seeing that Mian He was looking at him, Mo Wuji could only shake his head, "I don't have a single G.o.d crystal on me."

In his heart, he couldn't stand it. It was so difficult for him to find somewhere to settle down, but in the end, he didn't have the G.o.d crystals to buy seeds.

Mian He took out 60 high grade G.o.d crystals and pa.s.sed them to Mo Wuji, "I have 60, I'll lend them to you for now."

"Thank you Elder SIster Mian He." Mo Wuji quickly thanked her as he received the G.o.d crystals.

"60 high grade G.o.d crystals, so I'll give you 60 Green Dew Rice seeds." Guang Zhi threw a small sack onto the table.

Without taking the sack immediately, Mo Wuji calmly asked, "Manager Guang, if I harvest intermediate grade or high grade Green Dew Rice, do I have to submit 20 catties as well?"

Upon hearing this, Guang Zhi looked at Mo Wuji impatiently, "If you harvest intermediate grade, submit 8 catties. If it's high grade, submit 4 catties, and for unique grade, submit half a catty, as long as you have the ability to produce them."

Mo Wuji didn't bother about Guang Zhi's mocking, and asked again, "If I manage to harvest a higher grade of Green Dew Rice, can I exchange it for some lower grade Green Dew Rice seeds?"

"Haha…" Guang Zhi burst out laughing, and after he was done, he stared at Mo Wuji, "You can submit whatever you want. But if you can't even meet the minimum quota, don't blame me for not giving you face. Please leave, I still have work to settle here."

Mian He pulled Mo Wuji out of Guang Zhi's room with a sour expression on her face. While they had already left the room, he could still hear Guang Zhi's laughter.

"Mo Wuji, I won't send you to the farmland already. I'll go back and speak to my lady and see if she can do anything for you." Mian He had already developed a good impression of him after this half day of interaction.

In response, Mo Wuji corrected her, "Elder Sister Mian He, please don't report what happened here to your master, just tell her that everything has been arranged properly for me."

This made Mian He fall silent, as she understood what Mo Wuji meant. A moment later, she nodded her head, "You're a pretty good guy, my lady wasn't wrong to help you. I'll be taking my leave, if I have the time in the future, maybe I'll pop by to visit you."

After she finished her piece, Mian He took out a flying s.h.i.+p and disappeared completely.

…

An hour later, Mo Wuji stood at the foot of a mountain, which was littered with pebbles and weeds, with an ugly expression on his face. This was plot D79.

Even if this plot of land wasn't of such poor quality, it was still located at the extreme borders of the Minor High Firmament Village's G.o.d spiritual array.

Based on the information he gathered, planting good Green Dew Rice required good spring water. The people who planted Green Dew Rice also invited some G.o.d array masters to set up spiritual arrays and dug a well. But all these required G.o.d crystals.

Thankfully, Mo Wuji was a Grade 4 G.o.d array master himself. His main intention of coming here was not to plant Green Dew Rice, but to investigate why he couldn't advance in cultivation level. Since this area had G.o.d spiritual veins and an energy gathering array, G.o.d spiritual energy here was extremely dense, making it very suitable for cultivation.

As he thought of this, MO WUji immediately drew out a high grade immortal equipment cave, and asked Da Huang and Shuai Guo to come out to clear up the plot of land. He would continue to absorb G.o.d spiritual energy in the cave while searching for the reason for his inability to advance in cultivation level.

All of the people who planted Green Dew Rice here were very busy men. If they did their jobs well, the excess rice could be consumed by themselves and even sold. However, Mo Wuji was focused on cultivating and finding out why he couldn't progress in cultivating.

"Shuai Guo, you and Da Huang enter the cave and cultivate. Let me plant these Green Dew Rice seeds." Ultimately, Mo Wuji decided to humbly plant the Green Dew Rice.

Initially, when he faced the tens of cultivators from the Nine Evolution Sect and Phoenix Soul G.o.d Estate, he consumed a large number of pills, so who knew if that was when he became afflicted with pill poisoning.

Theoretically speaking, he had the detoxification meridian, so there shouldn't be the problem of being poisoned. However, pill poison was different from normal poisons. Pill poison wouldn't affect anything but one's cultivation. Green Dew Rice could serve as an antidote, hence he could try to eat some of the rice he harvested in the future.

When they crossed the Nirvana Ocean, Da Huang and Shuai Guo knew how important one's strength was, so now that Mo Wuji asked them to cultivate in an area with more than enough G.o.d spiritual energy, both of them simply went to cultivate.

Mo Wuji began to consolidate his thoughts and started to work on his plot of land.

He had done some farming before on Earth. Regardless whether it was normal rice or Green Dew Rice, they were harvested from rice paddies. On top of that, he was a biologist and a Pill Emperor, so he couldn't believe that he wouldn't be able to produce a slightly better quality rice.

After the farmland had been sorted out, he set up a simple rain array. Then, one by one the seeds were planted into the ground with a regular s.p.a.cing between them.

At first, Mo Wuji still wanted to finish the task as soon as possible, but once he began planting the Green Dew Rice into the ground, he totally forgot that he was a cultivator. In that moment, he was just an ordinary farmer. The most ordinary of mortals who worked hard for food.

When he forgot that he was a cultivator, when he did not cultivate anymore, when he seriously planted seed after seed into the ground bent over back, the obstacle in his cultivation level was torn apart in that instant. The cultivation level that remained stagnant for years started to rise wildly, and in a short period of time, he went from elementary Nascent G.o.d Level 3 to intermediate Nascent G.o.d Level 3.

"I understand now, I am a mortal." Mo Wuji slowly straightened his back with a glint of excitement in his eyes. But this emotion disappeared as quickly as it came, and he once again turned into an ordinary mortal planting rice.

Chapter 951: G.o.d King Green Robes Nu Fang

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

After entering intermediate Nascent G.o.d Level 3, Mo Wuji knew what went wrong with him: his heart state was misaligned.

As he grew stronger, the people that interacted with him also became stronger. This made him want to increase his cultivation level at a crazy rate. Since he entered the G.o.d Domain, he had reached Nascent G.o.d Level 3 in a short period of time.

This was at odds with the foundation of his cultivation technique, as he was cultivating as a mortal. However in the process of cultivation, he had continuously compared himself to those cultivation geniuses and as a result, unknowingly considered himself as a true cultivation genius as well. It was already very lucky that he did not go astray in cultivation under such circ.u.mstances, what more for advancing in cultivation level?

Only today did he consolidate his thoughts to focus on a menial task completely unrelated to cultivation, which led to his progress in cultivation. The small bits of progress collected over time finally turned into strength at this moment. Deep inside his heart, there seemed to be something sprouting too.

When he thought until this point, Mo Wuji stopped once again.

His heart state had not been truly completed yet, and the planting of Green Dew Rice seeds was not exactly totally unrelated to cultivation. In the end, he was still doing so to advance his cultivation. The Green Dew Rice could be used to counteract pill poison, and he planted the rice in the first place.

It seemed like he had reached a fork on his path of cultivation. Because he cultivated with the Immortal Mortal Technique, it meant that he had to use the mindset of a mortal to approach dao. So what kind of mindset should he maintain towards cultivation?

He should stop thinking about how the Green Dew Rice can counter pill poison, and without any aim for the farming, he would do so just to be at peace. Only if he planted Green Dew Rice without any goal in mind would his heart state improve thoroughly.

This issue made Mo Wuji frown as t didn't seem like something the depths of his mind needed. Deep inside, planting Green Dew Rice seeds wasn't a recreational activity to spend excess time on, and even more so it couldn't have any aim.

Mortals planted rice for survival, and to exchange it for the right to live. So what was wrong with planting Green Dew Rice seeds for cultivating? Why couldn't he pursue any goals when planting Green Dew Rice seeds? He was originally a mortal, but never did his mind reach such an enlightened state: to plant Green Dew Rice seeds for others without asking for anything in return. He had put in the effort, so he needed to gain something.

A formless shadow and obstacle seemed to be melted away by a blazing fire, disappearing from Mo Wuji. This made him feel much more relaxed all over, and he also became more open-minded to everything before him.

There was no need to be too intentional, one only exists with a set of your own principles. There's no need to compare oneself with cultivation geniuses. One just had to do one's things and cultivate one's own Mortal Dao.

Mo Wuji's entire being was at peace, without any of the frustrations about cultivation level stagnation. He calmly plowed the field, calmly spread the seeds, calmly set up an energy gathering array… then calmly waited for the harvest season.

As Manager Guang wasn't on good terms with him, Mo Wuji didn't know how many seeds a plot of land required. The only thing he knew was that Green Dew Rice seeds matured in six months and could be planted at any time. You could have either one or two harvests in a year.

It could be said that the Green Dew Rice plant was the only spiritual plant in the G.o.d Domain that had the greatest effects with a short maturity period. Compared to the natural treasures that took tens or hundreds of thousands of years to mature, Green Dew Rice was very valuable. To the people of G.o.d Continent, this was a heaven given gift to the cultivators.

"It's useless if you do it this way. Under normal circ.u.mstances, 500 seedlings of Green Dew Rice can be planted in a plot of land. The best harvest in grade A plots is about one or two grains of Green Dew Rice seeds per plant, which means 500 seedlings can produce 50 catties of Green Dew Rice seeds. As for the grade of the rice, it would depend on the process of planting and tending to the plants. This is a grade D land, so there's not enough energy from the earth, and you'll have to plant at least 1000 seedlings…" A voice suddenly interrupted Mo Wuji's work.

Raising his head, Mo Wuji saw a dark skinned man with a spiritual hoe on his back standing by his plot. As he had been completely focused on the planting of Green Dew Rice seeds, he actually didn't notice someone approach him.

"Thank you for the pointers." Mo Wuji bowed respectfully and said without many considerations.

Even if he didn't manage to produce a single grain of rice, what could Manager Guang do to him? A guy at Nascent G.o.d Level 7 didn't even warrant his concern.

The dark skinned youth also smiled and casually threw a book to Mo Wuji, "You should have offended someone right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have been a.s.signed to a grade D plot. This is a book with an introduction to Green Dew Rice, you can take a look at it. My name is Gu Hai. I'm at plot B29. If you have anything that you don't understand, you can come to ask me."

After finis.h.i.+ng his sentence, he didn't wait for Mo Wuji to thank him and left.

Mo Wuji was secretly shocked. No matter where it was, there should be people like Gu Hai that loved to help others.

A preliminary scan of the Green Dew Rice book that Gu Hai gave revealed that it mainly introduced what time to water the plant, what time to expose it to sunlight, what things to look out for, etc. There was also detailed information about how many Green Dew Rice seeds to plant per plot as well.

Normally, the worse the quality of the plot, the more Green Dew Rice had to be planted, otherwise, the quant.i.ty harvested would be very low.

On the G.o.d Continent, high grade Green Dew Rice would rarely appear. Most people usually consumed low grade Green Dew Rice. Only some sect elders and people with high statuses would eat intermediate grade Green Dew Rice. The very few high grade Green Dew Rice were all used as expensive gifts to others instead of being eaten.

As for peak grade Green Dew Rice, it has not appeared on the market for many years. That was a top notch treasure, which one could only discover, but not seek out. The value of peak grade Green Dew Rice was not only in its ability to counteract pill poison and boost cultivation. It was that valuable because if it were used as a seed, even a novice could produce Tier 3 Green Dew Rice.

In the book, it also introduced the only person that could produce peak grade Green Dew Rice: G.o.d King Green Robes Nu Fang.

G.o.d King Green Robes Nu Fang wasn't only a G.o.d King, but also a Tier 5 G.o.d Pill King. In the G.o.d Continent, Tier 5 G.o.d Pill Kings existed at the peak of the ecosystem.

Based on the descriptions in the book, G.o.d King Green Robes Nu Fang was a warm and emotional person. As long as it was within his abilities, he would try his best to help others. On the entire G.o.d Continent, he was the only G.o.d Pill King without any airs about him.

However, a hundred million years ago, Nu Fang tried to cross the Nirvana Ocean in order to bring the Green Dew Rice seeds to the G.o.d Domain. In the end, he never returned and there wasn't any news about him either.

After closing the book, the first thought that came to mind was the inheritance of a pill master that he obtained on the Turtle Sh.e.l.l Island. According to the stone mortar spirit at the heart of the island, the short introductions to Pill Dao and the Pill Dao jade slip were the possessions of a pa.s.sing pill master.

Could that person have been the G.o.d King Green Robes?

As he thought about this, Mo Wuji dropped everything at hand and returned to the cave immediately. He took out the ring and retrieved countless jade slips and a very thick book.

He had scanned through the jade slips before, and most of them contained some brief descriptions of G.o.d spiritual herbs, pill recipes, things to take note when concocting G.o.d pills, etc.

Mo Wuji opened up the thick book, which had a green cover, and on the first page, there were the following words: G.o.d World Spiritual Herbs, Volume 1. Slightly further down were the words: Author, Nu Fang.

So it was the G.o.d King Green Robes indeed. Although the item in his hands was very exceptional, Mo Wuji still felt rather sad. From all that he read so far, the G.o.d King Green Robes was definitely a good person who was unselfish. Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his life to spread the Green Dew Gra.s.s to the G.o.d Domain.

It was a pity that Nu Fang wasn't able to fulfill his dream, and when he was about to reach the G.o.d Domain, he was killed by a spirit. On top of that, his vital blood and primordial spirit were used by the stone mortar spirit to concoct the giant pill.

Mo Wuji placed the few jade slips and the thick book onto the table and bowed respectfully to them, "Green Robed Elder, if you really wish that the Green Dew Rice can be spread to the G.o.d Domain, please allow me to fulfill this dream for you. As for that stone mortar spirit that killed you, I'll help avenge you if I have the chance."

No matter who the stone mortar spirit killed, Mo Wuji already knew that he had to eliminate it. Otherwise, once it completely recovered, the first person it killed would probably be him.

After keeping everything in his Undying World, Mo Wuji left the thick book on G.o.d World spiritual plants outside. G.o.d King Green Robes inscribed pill recipes, pill refining techniques, and details about many G.o.d spiritual herbs and how to recognise them on the jade slips, while this book of G.o.d World spiritual plants specifically described how to nurture different spiritual plants.

When he flipped the book open, Mo Wuji saw how knowledgeable the G.o.d King Green Robes was. The information inside was gathered over countless months and years.

Very quickly, Mo Wuji found the planting techniques for Green Dew Rice, which were much higher level than those written in the book Gu Hai pa.s.sed to him.

Nurturing good quality Green Dew Rice not only required the best G.o.d spiritual spring and a dense G.o.d spiritual energy source, it depended even more on a complete set of the laws of heaven and earth. As for the quality of soil, it was the least important factor.

Mo Wuji was sure that if the G.o.d King Green Robes were here, he would not have split the farmland for planting Green Dew Rice into a few grades.

Based on the G.o.d King Green Robes's description, only in an environment where the laws were complete, a few types of spiritual sap from spiritual plants could be used to nurture peak grade Green Dew Rice.

These words gave Mo Wuji a great epiphany. He didn't have large quant.i.ties of spiritual sap, but he did have a G.o.d spiritual herb called the Five Leaf Gra.s.s.

The Five Leaf Gra.s.s had five leaves, and it was of a low tier: just a Tier 1 G.o.d spiritual herb. But this G.o.d spiritual herb had a unique feature, which was it possessed all five elemental characteristics.

Mo Wuji didn't intend to use the Five Leaf Gra.s.s as spiritual sap to nurture the Green Dew Rice seeds. He wanted to use it as a medium and graft the Green Dew Rice plant onto it. Didn't the Green Dew Rice require complete laws? Although the Five Leaf Gra.s.s had five elemental characteristics and couldn't be considered to contain all laws of the heaven and earth, it could definitely be considered the G.o.d spiritual gra.s.s with the most complete laws. As for the G.o.d spiritual herbs with unique laws, most of them were very expensive, so he never thought about using their spiritual sap to nurture the Green Dew Rice.

The main idea behind using the Five Leaf Gra.s.s as the medium to graft the Green Dew Rice plant was to allow the rice to absorb all five elemental laws of the heaven and earth.

Chapter 952: Green Dew Rice

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

Other than using the five elemental laws of the Five Leaf Gra.s.s, Mo Wuji had a second reason for grafting the Green Dew Rice plant on the Five Leaf Gra.s.s.

Mo Wuji was a top notch biologist on Earth, so he had an exceptional understanding of wild flora and fauna. Most wild fruit trees not only taste better after being transplanted a few times, but they also grow larger. This sort of grafting with a medium could be considered as transplanting from a certain perspective.

Moreover, ordinary rice also required one to first nurture the seedling to the point of sprouting before planting it in. While the Green Dew Rice required a different planting technique from normal rice, they were still rice. So who could say that nurturing the rice till it sprouted and grafting it on a medium wouldn't work?

Precisely because the Five Leaf Gra.s.s was low tiered and could not be used to concoct G.o.d pills, it was basically not collected by anyone. After the G.o.d Domain's G.o.d Domain Nest newly incubated, Mo Wuji was able to collect a large pile of them.

Back then, the main purpose of collecting the Five Leaf Gra.s.s was to practice pill refining. In the Immortal World, he was a Pill Emperor, but in the G.o.d Domain, he couldn't even concoct a Tier 1 G.o.d pill. The G.o.d spiritual herbs of the G.o.d Domain were very pricey, hence he didn't have enough G.o.d crystals to obtain a great amount of them to practice with.

Now, before he could use any of the Five Leaf Gra.s.s to practice pill refining, they had to be first used to graft Green Dew Rice plants.

A single grain of Green Dew Rice seed was about half an inch large, and was very light, as though as one had a feather in one's hand when holding it. When one's spiritual will landed on it, it gave a sort of empty feeling.

The difference between Green Dew Rice seeds and Green Dew Rice was not an outer husk, but a thin external layer.

At this point, Mo Wuji knew that the low grade Green Dew Rice seed's exterior was a light grey colour, and after removing the light grey layer, the pure white Green Dew Rice would be revealed. Intermediate grade Green Dew Rice seeds had a silver exterior, and after removing the silver layer, a pure white grain of Green Dew Rice could be seen as well. The only difference was that this white grain of rice would have many small silver stripes on it.

High grade Green Dew Rice seeds had a light gold exterior, and after removing the light gold layer, the pure white Green Dew Rice with gold stripes would be revealed. The more gold stripes there were, the higher the quality of the rice.

For peak grade Green Dew Rice seeds, its surface was pure gold, and after removing the gold outer layer, the Green Dew Rive was also gold in colour.

The Green Dew Rice seeds that Mo Wuji received were light grey, and the grey colour wasn't even either, which meant that it was the lowest of the low grade Green Dew Rice seeds.

Still, Mo Wuji carefully planted all of these seeds carefully. He didn't have a good G.o.d spiritual spring, but this was his first time planting Green Dew Rice, and based on the information left behind by the G.o.d King Green Robes, he used some Billion Years Immortal Wood Marrow to water them.

Perhaps it was due to the effectiveness of the Billion Years Immortal Wood Marrow, just after half a month's time, the Green Dew Rice seedlings grew to half an inch tall. Mo Wuji then transferred the Five Leaf Gra.s.s from his Undying World into the ground, removed the five leaves of the gra.s.s, and started to graft the Green Dew Rice seedlings over one by one.

All of these, Mo Wuji did with utmost care and focus.

60 seedlings, none of them died, and every single one was successfully grafted.

After that, he set up a concealment array outside his plot of land and placed a completed energy gathering array under each seedling.

The usefulness of an array master presented itself now.

According to Gu Hai, for Mo Wuji's plot of land, it wouldn't be considered too packed even if a thousand Green Dew Rice seedlings were planted. But due to limitations on the number of seeds, Mo Wuji could only plant 60 of them.

Another half a month pa.s.sed, and he discovered a problem. While his seedlings were indeed growing better than others, he had used the Billion Years Immortal Wood Marrow to water then. The Billion Years Immortal Wood Marrow might have been a Tier 9 immortal spiritual herb, but in reality it was much more valuable than Tier 9 immortal spiritual herbs. If it were in the G.o.d Domain, it could possibly be considered as a high grade G.o.d spiritual sap.

Based on the current situation, by the time of his harvest, most of them would be low grade Green Dew Rice.

This was not what Mo Wuji wanted. Although the G.o.d Pill King Green Robes had a way to nurture peak grade Green Dew Rice seeds, he couldn't afford using that process.

Moreover, the G.o.d Pill King Green Robes had also pointed out that the peak grade Green Dew Rice wasn't suited for the G.o.d Continent. This sort of thing used up too many resources, and even a person who was both a G.o.d Pill King and a G.o.d King couldn't sustainably nurture peak grade rice.

Hence, what he mainly taught was basically the means to produce intermediate grade Green Dew Rice and how to improve the yield of low grade Green Dew Rice.

However, Mo Wuji was determined to produce a good batch of Green Dew Rice. Thus after his efforts yielded no results, he began to inspect the Green Dew Rice plants.

Once he held a stalk of Green Dew Rice plant, clear five elemental laws were transferred to him, which made him very excited. This not only allowed him to understand what was wrong, it also enlightened him about the five elemental laws of the heaven and earth.

He could clearly sense the strength of the five elemental laws of each stalk of Green Dew Rice plant, and also which ones had an excess or deficit of one law.

His first guess was that this was due to him not possessing elemental spiritual root, which allowed him to clearly feel which of the five elements the Green Dew Rice plants were lacking. If it were another cultivator with spiritual roots here, even if he tried to do so, he probably couldn't sense it as clearly as Mo Wuji.

This gave Mo Wuji a new direction, and he transplanted the Green Dew Rice plants once more.

A mere hour later, he had messed up the order of the 60 plants and replanted.

For this round of planting, Mo Wuji placed the Green Dew Rice that lacked the same elemental law in one area and set up the corresponding elemental array in that area.

For example, the Green Dew Rice plants lacking in metal elemental laws were transplanted to the same area, and a metal gathering array was set up there. The Green Dew Rice plants lacking wood elemental laws, and a wood gathering array was set up…

With this, a good part of a month pa.s.sed by, and Mo Wuji could see that the Green Dew Rice plants were flouris.h.i.+ng a few times better than others. The gap was also increasing by the day. But this was comparing his with those at the A grade plots. If they were compared with those in the B or C plots, the difference would be almost like heaven and earth.

In two month's time, Mo Wuji was completely confident. During this period, other than nurturing the Green Dew Rice plants, he would occasionally cultivate for a while.

Four months later, when the Green Dew Rice plants started to bear seeds, his cultivation level finally crossed from Nascent G.o.d Level 3 to 4.

Once that happened, he appeared even more ordinary than before.

Shuai Guo also reached G.o.dbeast Level 3, and Da Huang was already at advanced Nascent G.o.d Level 4.

Six months later, Mo Wuji's plot D79 was filled with a light gold colour everywhere. To his surprise, every stalk of Green Dew Rice plant had five ears of rice, and each ear was filled with light gold coloured Green Dew Rice seeds. Even though there were only 60 stalks of Green Dew Rice plants, the entire plot was covered in light gold.

The fragrance of the rice wafted over, and with a little whiff, Mo Wuji felt that his mind became clearer and he also felt calmer.

This shouldn't be considered 60 stalks of Green Dew Rice plants but 300 stalks.

There was still a few days before the harvest season, but Mo Wuji couldn't wait any longer. He carefully removed two stalks of Green Dew Rice plants.

The 10 ears on the two stalks were filled with Green Dew Rice seeds, and even though the rice was as light as a feather, he could feel the weight of them in his hands.

After harvesting the rice seeds from both stalks, Mo Wuji removed the light gold outer layer to reveal the rice with many gold stripes. This was obviously high grade Green Dew Rice.

This discovery made Mo Wuji very excited. He suspected that he wasn't able to produce peak grade Green Dew Rice due to the poor quality of the seeds he started out with.

Each grain of Green Dew Rice let off a alluring fragrance, and its length was also close to an inch, which made it difficult to resist.

Mo Wuji did some basic estimation. These two stalks of Green Dew Rice plants had five catties of Green Dew Rice on them, which meant that one stalk could give him two and a half catties. a.s.suming that one stalk had five ears, each ear's production capacity was five taels [1].

The book that Gu Hai gave him explained very clearly that the best harvest from grade A plots was around one tael of rice per stalk of plant. As he had used the Five Leaf Gra.s.s grafting technique, one stalk of Mo Wuji's Green Dew Rice plant had five ears, each with five taels of rice. Wasn't this a multiple fold increase?

Mo Wuji immediately entered the immortal estate, washed all five catties of Green Dew Rice, forged a pot, and started cooking at once.

From the start of his cultivation, never did he imagine that one day he would still cook rice to eat.

A incense's worth of time later, an irresistible fragrance came from the Green Dew Rice. Even Shuai Guo and Da Huang, who were in the midst of cultivating, couldn't help but run out, staring at the pot that Mo Wuji was using to cook the rice.

Although the pot that he forged was not small, the five catties of rice filled up the entire pot.

Mo Wuji was the first to scoop a bowl for himself, while Shuai Guo and Da Huang did so automatically without any instructions.

Without any dishes to go along with it, when Mo Wuji swallowed the first mouthful of rice, he knew that he was wrong previously.

Who said that cultivating dao meant that one had to fast? A dao cultivator could indeed fast, but he was cultivating Mortal Dao, and the desires of the mouth were also part of mortal desires.

The first mouth of Green Dew Rice gave a pure, indescribable taste which spread all over his taste buds. Not only did Mo Wuji sigh out of satisfaction, Shuai Guo and Da Huang who were at the side also closed their eyes, immersed in uncomparable satisfaction.

"This indeed lives up to its name." Mo Wuji exclaimed after finished half a bowl of rice without any dishes. The taste in one's mouth was simply a sensation, and what Mo Wuji found truly valuable about it was that he could clearly sense the pill poison in him being counteracted. He could even feel that his understanding towards the five elemental laws in the dao of the heaven and earth had become better as well.

One could say that the Green Dew Rice was more suited for someone that cultivated Mortal Dao.

…

"Who's cooking Green Dew Rice?" Outside of the Minor High Firmament Village, a man and a woman smelled the mind-clearing fragrance which even cleared up their sea of consciousness.

"This smell and aura, could it be intermediate grade Green Dew Rice being cooked?" The woman in hemp clothes said out of shock. "No, this is not intermediate grade Green Dew Rice, but high grade Green Dew Rice…"

After finis.h.i.+ng her sentence, she leapt across many plots of farmland in a step, charging straight at plot D79 where Mo Wuji resided. The numerous people beside her also followed suit, leaving behind a confused Manager Guang Zhi.
