Li Shiming woke up from the magical scene of releasing the 'Spring Breeze and Rain Art' and looked towards the area that was being watered.
There was a field of camellias there, and only a part of it was affected by the 'Spring Breeze and Rain Art'.
He walked up to a camellia plant that had been watered by rain and took a closer look. The leaves of this camellia plant were a different emerald green from that of autumn.
You know, it’s autumn now, and all the camellia leaves are dark green.
He took a piece of camellia tea and put it in his mouth. The camellia here was specially transplanted by his father Li Wenyuan, who would also harvest camellia regularly for use in the mansion.
Although Li Shiming had no interest in tea tasting, his predecessor inherited Li Wenyuan's tea tasting habits.
When he put the leaf in his mouth, he immediately felt the difference.
The quality of this leaf has been significantly improved, and the taste is better than before.
He couldn't help but be surprised at the effect of the 'Spring Breeze and Rain Art'. Just by performing it once, the quality of the affected camellia changed.
Although I don’t know how long the quality of camellia can last, even if it is picked and roasted now, it is better than most famous teas.
This was the power to transform decay into something magical. He could not imagine what the crops cultivated by the immortals using the spiritual fields and the "Spring Breeze and Rain Technique" would taste like.
Of course, if he really wanted to taste it, he could taste the two bags of spiritual rice in the storage bag.
But those were the seeds of spiritual rice. Even if he didn't read the book "The Fundamentals of Spiritual Plant Cultivation" and Shi Ximing's practice notes, he knew how precious the seeds were and would never waste them on his appetite.
After sensing the vortex of spiritual energy in his body, he found that there was still one third left, and he didn't want to cast any more spells.
The remaining one third of spiritual power can be used in times of danger.
"Magic spells are really hard to learn and use. This amount of spiritual power is simply not enough to consume!" He shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself.
But what he didn't know was that not all cultivators could learn the magic spells in the world of immortal cultivation.
Take the 'Spring Breeze and Rain Art' for example. Generally speaking, a cultivator who can perform the 'Spring Breeze and Rain Art' can be considered to have stepped into the threshold of becoming a spiritual master.
It is not easy for a spiritual plant husband to enter one of the hundred arts of cultivating immortals.
If it is really easy to become a spiritual plant husband, then the spiritual plant husband would not be one of the hundred arts of cultivating immortals. Anyone would be able to acquire the means to become a spiritual plant husband, and the value of the spiritual crops grown by spiritual plant husbands would not be enough to support the independent existence of this industry.
If you want to become a spiritual husband, the first requirement is the immortal root, at least one of the spiritual roots of water or wood.
Another method is to use the "Spring Breeze and Rain Technique". Even though Li Shiming succeeded after using it twice.
But in the world of cultivating immortals, this step has blocked countless cultivators, causing the number of spiritual plant husbands to remain scarce.
'The Art of Transforming Rain with a Gentle Breeze' is indeed a low-level spell, but it is not easy to learn. Drawing the complex runes perfectly is one hurdle, and needing the intention of transforming rain with a gentle breeze is another hurdle.
Those who normally study the profession of spiritual plant husband are all cultivators with average talent. The real geniuses are cultivated by the sect when they are at a low level and do not need to consider the issue of side jobs at all.
For a cultivator with average talent to successfully perform the "Spring Breeze and Rain Art", it would take years of effort, three to five years or even ten years, and there are some who may never be able to get started.
Most monks practiced for several months, then gave up when they realized they did not have the talent.
Not just the 'Spring Breeze and Rain Technique', all spells require the cooperation of intention. If you cannot comprehend the existence of intention, but want to cast the spell, you will need the help of talismans.
This is why monks carry a large number of talismans with them. It is not only because releasing talismans consumes less spiritual power and has the advantage of fast casting speed, but more because spells are difficult to learn.
Of course, within a sect, if there is guidance from a wise master, one can still comprehend the meaning of magic more quickly through the experience of predecessors.
Li Shiming transformed himself into a tea picker and picked all the tea leaves in the 20 square meters.
Then he fried the picked camellia into tea in his own machine room.
Roasting tea in the machine room will perfectly preserve the quality of the leaves that have been enhanced by the "Spring Breeze and Rain Technique" into the tea leaves.
The techniques of tea frying are already in the database of the large server IBMz15, and it is the most mature technique of tea frying after countless years of development.
Back in his yard, he made himself a cup of tea with freshly roasted tea leaves.
After taking a sip, he found that his previous judgment was correct. This tea was not only of excellent quality, but also had a subtle spiritual energy.
This barely perceptible trace of spiritual energy had no effect on either his body or his cultivation as he was at the second level of Qi Refining.
But if ordinary people drink tea rich in faint spiritual energy, it will have great benefits for the body.
He packed three cans of this kind of tea. There are not many leaves that can be picked from twenty square meters of camellia, and after frying, he could produce three cans, which is already a very high yield.
"It's a waste for me to drink it!" Li Shiming shook his head and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.
He filled the box with three cans of tea and headed towards the office area of the government office.
"Congratulations to Xue Si!" When he met Professor Zhou from Nanling Prefecture in the government office, Professor Zhou smiled and told him that Xue Si was his courtesy name.
Li Shiming returned the salute inexplicably, not knowing where his joy came from, and Professor Zhou did not explain anything to him.
Professor Zhou is a seventh-rank official and is in charge of educational affairs in Nanling Prefecture.
When I arrived at Li Wenyuan's place, I saw a rare happy smile on Li Wenyuan's face as soon as I entered the door.
"Shiming, I was just about to call you, and here you come!" Li Wenyuan waved to Li Shiming and motioned him to sit down.
"Father, why are you so happy?" Li Shiming asked after sitting down.
"Tomorrow is the day when the results will be announced, but the results of the autumn examination have been sent in today!" Li Wenyuan replied with a smile.
Ordinary candidates, even those from powerful families, cannot know the results in advance.
Because the test results will not be released until the day before the announcement, they will be sent to the government office. Apart from the chief examiner and the deputy examiner, only the professor and the prefect can see the results. No one else will know the results in advance.
The results will be announced on time tomorrow morning and will be made public then.
"My son has passed the imperial examination!" Li Shiming understood why Li Wenyuan was happy, and he said with a smile.
To be honest, if it weren't for the influence of the original body's emotions, passing the imperial examination was an obsession of the original body, and he wouldn't have been very excited about it.
After he came into contact with the cultivation of immortals, worldly affairs had much less impact on him.
He originally wanted to rely on the data stored in the large server IBMz15 to change the world and accomplish great things, but when the immortals existed in this world, his idea turned into a yearning for cultivating immortals.
"In order to avoid suspicion, the chief examiner did not let you become the first place winner. You got the second place winner. It was because of your father's influence on you!" Li Wenyuan said happily but with regret.
