"Uncle-master Cheng thinks highly of you, so why don't you stay in Xunfeng? However, as a junior spiritual plant farmer, you can't play much of a role in Xunfeng's spiritual fields. You can only do odd jobs!" Zhu Ji spoke more while flying to Zhongfeng Affairs Pavilion.
During the communication with Zhu Ji, Li Shiming learned that no matter which peak it was, there were no extra lower-grade spiritual fields.
Below the nine peaks of the sect is the main spiritual vein, which is the area with the richest spiritual energy, among which the central peak is the richest, followed by the other eight peaks.
Within the range of the main spiritual vein, the rich spiritual energy can support better spiritual fields.
After countless years of development, the spiritual fields at the nine peaks of the sect have all reached mid-grade spiritual fields.
The 'Spring Breeze and Rain Art' performed by a junior spiritual plant husband can only take care of low-grade spiritual fields, and the low-grade spiritual fields are all in the sea outside the Nine Peaks, on the dotted islands.
"This is the Affairs Hall. I won't accompany you any more!" Zhu Ji said, pointing to the hall below.
"Thank you, Brother Zhu!" Li Shiming bowed and expressed his gratitude.
The paper crane landed in front of the affairs room, which was now deserted.
The Affairs Pavilion is an institution responsible for handling the sect's assets. It usually has very few affairs to attend to, so there is only one cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage in the pavilion.
"Hello, senior brother. I'm here to rent the Lingtian Cave!" Li Shiming stepped forward and said, and at the same time he took out ten spirit stones and gave them over.
With his status, it would never be wrong to call anyone in the sect with the official disciple mark on his clothes "senior brother".
"Identity jade disc, the green ones on the map are optional spiritual fields and caves!" The senior brother collected the spiritual stones skillfully and said in a flat voice.
A virtual three-dimensional map appeared in front of Li Shiming.
There is no green on the Jiufeng on the map, which is normal. Outside the Jiufeng, there are many green marked areas on islands of all sizes.
"There are so many spiritual fields and caves to choose from?" Li Shiming exclaimed in amazement.
"There have never been many cultivators with the talent of spiritual plants. The spiritual fields displayed here are ownerless after they were opened up and were forcibly sealed up. If you want to choose, this is Changming Island. There are 300,000 mortals on the island. It won't be too hard to go here. There are plenty of mortals to serve you. All you have to do is to drive away the sea beasts when they appear!" The senior brother took the spiritual stones, but still expressed his own opinion.
"Are there many sea beasts? How strong are they?" Li Shiming asked hurriedly when he heard about sea beasts.
"Powerful sea beasts will not appear in the sect's sea area, but there are too many sea beasts. Some sea beasts with the strength of Qi Refining often appear. Most of them are in the early stage of Qi Refining. You don't have to worry about safety issues. If there is a sea beast that you can't deal with, activate your identity jade disc and the monks from the nearby sect will soon arrive!" The senior brother replied.
Li Shiming's attention was not on Changming Island. Since he had decided to cultivate immortality, he had to stay away from the mundane world.
He wanted a quiet place where he wouldn't be disturbed by anyone.
His eyes fell on a small island called Eagle's Beak Island, which was about two hundred miles away from Jiufeng. Considering the distance, he activated the warning of his identity jade disc, so even if the cultivators from Jiufeng of the sect rushed there, it would not take long.
The most important thing is that no mortals live on Eagle's Beak Island. It is a small island with five acres of low-grade spiritual fields.
Five acres of primary low-grade spiritual fields are just within the capacity of a primary spiritual farmer like him who is at the third level of Qi Refining, and he can take care of it.
"Brother, I choose Eagle's Beak Island!" Li Shiming pointed at Eagle's Beak Island without hesitation.
"Eagle's Beak Island?" The senior brother hesitated for a moment, but still persuaded: "Although the inferior spiritual veins on this island are branches of the sect's main spiritual veins, the quality of this spiritual vein is inferior, and the spiritual fields are also low-grade. The only advantage is that it is cheap. Have you really considered it?"
"Brother, I've thought about it. This is it!" Li Shiming nodded.
"Well, I'll add permissions to your identity jade disc. With the identity jade disc, you can open the defense array of Eagle Beak Island and unlock the seal of the spiritual field. With the output of low-grade spiritual fields and the climate, the planting period is six months and three seasons each year." The senior brother calculated and continued, "Based on the output of 100 kilograms of spiritual rice per acre of spiritual field, you need to hand in 750 kilograms of spiritual rice every year, and the annual good deeds are 325!"
After the senior brother finished speaking, he looked at Li Shiming with a complicated expression. After Li Shiming nodded to show that he understood, he handed the identity jade disc to Li Shiming.
Only then did Li Shiming realize that the output of one acre of low-grade spiritual field was so low. You should know that the output of his computer room space of less than 280 square meters can reach 364 kilograms per season.
Handing over 750 kilograms of spiritual rice a year was no pressure for him at all. One had to know that renting spiritual fields was also a mission of the sect. As long as he handed over enough spiritual rice, he would have no other tasks to do unless it was a mandatory task from the sect.
It's just that the good deeds are a little less, but the number of good deeds is much better than that of a monk without a secondary position.
After leaving the office, he summoned the paper crane. This time he needed to fly a considerable distance.
The sea breeze blows on my face and I feel like I’m riding a crane flying in the sky. Unfortunately, the crane is a paper crane, which reduces the feeling a little.
The paper crane's flying speed was quite good, and it only took more than half an hour to fly the distance of two hundred miles.
When Li Shiming saw Eagle's Beak Island for the first time, he wondered if people could really live here.
Eagle's Beak Island looks very small on the map, but when I got there I realized it is really small.
Eagle's Beak Island is shaped like an eagle's beak, with one end pointed and the other thick. The base of the eagle's beak is no more than two hundred meters wide. There is a fifty-meter-high mountain at the base of the eagle's beak. From the base of the eagle's beak to the tip of the eagle's beak is a flat area.
The flat area is where the spiritual field is located. There are reefs blocking it on all sides, so there is no need to worry about ordinary sea beasts directly entering the spiritual field.
Li Shiming used his identity jade disc to activate the defensive formation and entered the island.
The five acres of spiritual field were solidified by a magic circle. This solidification could retain the spiritual energy of the spiritual field to the greatest extent, but it would still be lost over time.
A spiritual farmer is needed to come regularly to use the 'Earth Spirit Technique' to draw the underground spiritual energy and improve the spiritual energy of the spiritual field.
However, this can only preserve the foundation of the spiritual field. Over time, the spiritual field will slowly degrade.
The five acres of spiritual field in front of him had reached the lowest quality of spiritual fields. Low-grade spiritual fields were the worst quality spiritual fields, and the spiritual field here had reached the lower limit of low-grade spiritual fields.
Li Shiming did not immediately unblock the solidification of the spiritual field. He needed to clean up the cave first, and then consider the matter of the spiritual field after he had a place to live.
The cave on Yingzui Island is located on a small hill, at the end of the spiritual field.
Also using the identity jade disc, the restriction on the cave was opened, and a damp and rotten smell hit him in the face, stopping him in his tracks.
He put on a respirator and used the magic of expelling things to clean out the garbage in the cave, and then replaced the air in the cave with fresh air, which removed the odor.
