He Yiming glanced across the spirit fields.
Besides the numerous handmade farming tools scattered across the area, there was even a seven-meter-long gigantic farming contraption crafted from bones and animal hides. It looked designed for large-scale tilling, requiring several players to pull it together.
“Maybe I miscalculated. Judging their efficiency using standards from Blue Water Star's farmers was my mistake!”
In this world, even a Body Refinement Realm, Level One cultivator had the physical strength of an elite special forces soldier on Earth. Most of these players were already in the third or fourth level, far surpassing human limits.
With the fields tilled, it was time to plant the spirit grass seeds. However, He Yiming still had no idea where to get them.
Suddenly, a memory surfaced:
“He Yiming, take this storage pouch... If you ever hit a deadlock, open it.”
The gentle yet determined voice of that familiar, elegant figure echoed in his mind.
With a flick of his hand, He Yiming took out the storage pouch gifted to him by Nangong Li, the co-top graduate of Haotian Academy.
The pouch was pink and emitted a faint fragrance.
Opening it, He Yiming's expression became complicated.
Inside, the left side was neatly stacked with spirit stones—at least 500 of them.
For a typical Haotian Academy disciple, possessing even a single spirit stone was rare. Five hundred was an unimaginable fortune.
The right side of the pouch contained hundreds of low-grade spirit grass seeds, enough to cover all 1,000 acres of fields. Astonishingly, these included every auxiliary herb required to refine Spirit Ascension Pills.
The implications were obvious.
Lastly, there was a technique jade slip inside.
“Shangqing Art?” He Yiming exclaimed softly, his eyes wide.
The Shangqing Art was a fourth-grade sect's signature technique, capable of cultivating someone to the Heavenly Core Realm.
The version in this jade slip was incomplete, containing only the Body Refinement Realm portion.
Even so, its value was astronomical. Selling it could easily fetch over 1,000 spirit stones.
Holding the pouch, He Yiming couldn't help but murmur:
“Nangong Li…”
Her calm, breathtakingly beautiful face filled his mind.
The pouch was a precious gift that spoke volumes about her unparalleled background—likely far more powerful than he'd ever imagined.
“But with the system's [Azure Emperor Longevity Body], I don't need this Shangqing Art.”
Shaking his head, He Yiming set the jade slip aside. Right now, his priority was to prepare for the sect evaluation in one month.
At the sect's current state, passing was impossible.
“Disciples, these are spirit grass seeds. Let me explain how to plant them properly.”
Taking out a seed, He Yiming demonstrated with a smile. As the top graduate of Haotian Academy, his theoretical knowledge was unmatched.
Every method for cultivating low-grade spirit grasses had been drilled into him during alchemy classes, and he had memorized even the methods for herbs he hadn't encountered before.
“Wow, so this is a spirit grass seed?”
Niu Roumian held the transparent, jelly-like orb carefully. Inside, a dandelion-like seed floated gently.
“The outer layer is called spirit membrane. It's rich in nutrients, protecting the seed and serving as its first source of energy,” He Yiming explained.
“One seed per acre. Once planted, remember to water it with spirit spring water regularly.”
“Sect Leader, how long does it take for these seeds to sprout?” Niu Roumian asked impatiently after planting one.
“Under normal circumstances, about a month to sprout and a year to mature. Only mature spirit grass can be used for pill refining.”
“A month? In-game time?”
Niu Roumian froze, his face dropping.
The other players erupted.
“What the heck? A farming quest that takes a whole month?”
“This spirit grass cultivation system is trolling us!”
“Wait… Did the Sect Leader say ‘normal circumstances'? That must mean there's a faster way!”
Quick-witted players caught on immediately and began clamoring.
“Sect Leader, is there a way to speed up the sprouting process?” Farm Master asked.
He Yiming nodded.
“There are many methods for acceleration!”
“The standard method involves crafting spirit liquids from various treasures. It's reliable but resource-intensive.”
“Alternatively, cultivators with special techniques or constitutions can directly nurture the seeds with their energy.”
Midway through his explanation, He Yiming's eyes gleamed with realization.
For accelerating spirit grass growth, what technique could compare to the Azure Emperor Longevity Body?
Although his current cultivation level restricted access to some of its powers, the technique's innate wood affinity was unparalleled.
“Disciples!”
“Our sect's core technique, the Azure Emperor Longevity Body, can accelerate the growth of spirit grass!”
“Let me demonstrate!”
He Yiming's Demonstration
He Yiming smiled confidently, activating his technique. A soft azure glow enveloped his hand as its energy flowed into the seed planted by Niu Roumian.
