Chapter 46 Let's Go All Out
After finishing his cultivation, Ji An felt refreshed and relaxed all over.
After entering the late stage of Qi Refining, the amount of spiritual energy refined from consuming yellow sprout rice decreased significantly. Consuming three catties of spiritual rice a day resulted in negligible increases in cultivation level.
Before cultivating, he took a Ginseng Essence Pill, and the magical power he refined was equivalent to a month's worth of cultivation, which made him marvel once again at the charm of the crystal.
If one can regularly take elixirs to enhance magical power, will reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining be far off?
Cultivation emphasizes Dharma companions, wealth, and place. Having entered a sect, he currently has no shortage of Dharma companions, and he will also have a place to cultivate after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage. However, he has never been rich in wealth.
He possesses two perfect-level planting spells, and his harvest of spirit grains should be second to none among all spirit farmers.
Even so, he still lived a very frugal life, as did ordinary spiritual farmers. The most miserable were the rogue cultivators outside the sect, who had nothing but wealth, companions, magic, and land.
Ji An stepped out of the bamboo house. At this time, the sunlight had not yet shone into the valley, the morning mist had not yet dissipated, and the small house was immersed in a dreamlike atmosphere.
The air was fresh, with a slight dampness.
He first went to the nearby area and cut down some tree branches that were as thick as an arm and as tall as a person, and then drove a circle of wooden stakes around the yard.
Before we knew it, the sun had climbed over the mountain and was shining on the valley.
Ji An cut several bundles of bamboo about two fingers thick and rebuilt a dense fence around the wooden stakes.
There are no large wild animals in this valley, but there are plenty of rabbits, field mice and badgers.
The spirit fruit sapling cost three spirit stones; it's quite delicate.
He has no protective magic array here. If that wild beast sneaks in and attacks him, his heart will probably break.
Since the spells he learned were all planting spells, and he didn't have any suitable tools, he relied on an old axe and worked for most of the day to finish the job.
The sun began to set in the west; it was already afternoon.
Ji An harvested half of the vegetables in the yard, leaving only those near the fence.
Then he cast the Lesser Cloud Rain spell, using the spiritual rain to clean the vegetables, and then cast the Flame Fire spell.
These green vegetables contain a lot of spiritual energy; they can already be considered spiritual vegetables.
As long as the output of magic power is controlled, the vegetables can be dehydrated without being burned to ashes by fire elemental power like ordinary weeds.
He started making dehydrated vegetables using this method a long time ago, and with such a large yard, he couldn't possibly eat all the vegetables produced.
Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, two seeds were planted on either side of the courtyard, and Ji An cast the Lesser Cloud Rain spell once more.
The human body contains all five elements, unlike humans, most spiritual plants exhibit only one of the five elemental attributes.
For example, yellow sprout rice and green corn are both of the wood element, but their properties are not very obvious.
The spirit peaches and apricots planted now are of the fire element. As the seedlings grow, they will need to be nurtured by frequently casting fire spells and replenished with more wood element spiritual energy.
As the Linggu grains reached their heading stage, Ji An resumed his busy life.
Now that his magical talent is known to the sect, there's no longer anything to hide.
In the early morning, they go to the Spirit Field to bring rain and regulate the earth's energy. During the day, they wander all over the mountains, searching for lucky trees to condense wood element beads. In the evening, they return to the Spirit Field to release wood element energy.
After cultivating in the evening, he would release the Thick Earth Technique and the Lesser Cloud Rain Technique in the courtyard.
If you still have magic power left, practice the Sharp Metal Technique without fail.
Diligence leads to mastery, while idleness leads to ruin; only by accumulating small steps can one reach a thousand miles.
Sun rises and sets, time flies by.
Only after all the spirit grains had been harvested and sold, and the talisman grass had been made into talisman paper, did Ji An finally have time to catch his breath.
He brought out a pine rocking chair he had made himself, and comfortably lay down while playing with the wood carving of a spirit mouse.
As the sun sets, the afterglow shines over the green wall and onto two fruit tree saplings that are about a foot tall.
Because they were frequently nourished by spiritual rain and the Thick Earth Technique, the wooden stakes and bamboo used as fences actually survived.
Now his small courtyard is surrounded by lush greenery, and you can't see inside from the outside at all.
As the chair rocked, Ji An thought contentedly:
"If you could raise a yellow dog and brew a pot of spiritual tea, that would be the true life of cultivating immortality!"
His mind sank into his dantian, where he saw the stone tortoise rising and falling in the magical mist of his dantian.

The rocking chair gradually stopped rocking, and the person in the chair began to snore softly.
The next day, Ji An asked Huang Feihu for help, and the two of them transported 600 catties of yellow sprout rice to the General Affairs Hall, giving them ten spirit crystals as a reward.
Huang Feihu firmly refused and hurriedly waved his hand:
"Senior brother, I'm just passing by, I can't accept your crystals."
Grandpa kept telling him to learn more from the other party, and he often asked questions about planting techniques. How could he accept payment?
With that, he waved and ran off.
Ji An watched the other person's retreating figure, smiled, and shook his head.
Since Huang Feihu joined the sect, he has often received dried rabbit meat as a gift from them, and his meals have become more oily.
Many cultivators avoid consuming ordinary meat and grains from the mortal world because these foods lack spiritual energy and produce impure energy after consumption, requiring time to cleanse themselves.
Ji An didn't care much about this; he felt that only by eating meat every now and then could he truly appreciate the taste of cultivating immortality.
He entered the main hall, paid the land rent and taxes, and exchanged ten mu of spirit grain seeds, five mu of talisman grass seeds, and fifty fire cloud ginseng seeds.
One Fire Cloud Ginseng seed costs 2 contribution points, and he spent 160 contribution points today.
With Ji An's current total magical power, fifteen acres of spiritual fields is his limit.
He planned to plant the Fire Cloud Ginseng in the courtyard. It was a fire-attribute spiritual plant, and planting it together with the spiritual peaches and apricots would make it easier to manage.
He's still too short on crystals; he's going to make a big splash next season!
Therefore, he was prepared to sacrifice some opportunities to practice spells in order to maximize his cultivation progress.
The Ginseng Essence Pill requires crystals to purchase, the Spirit Absorption Array requires crystals to activate, and purchasing spell jade slips and magic artifacts also requires a large number of crystals. He is now dreaming of earning crystals.
Carefully wrapping the Fire Cloud Ginseng seeds and placing them in his bosom, Ji An slung the cloth bag containing the Spirit Valley seeds over his shoulder, mounted the talisman bird, and headed to the Azure Water Market.
He found Wei Songnian in the square where the stall was set up and smiled:
"Senior brother, let's go eat spirit fish later, it's on me."
Old Wei has helped him so much, he should treat him to a meal to deepen their friendship.
When Wei Songnian saw him arrive, a genuine smile appeared on his face:
"Junior Brother Liang has saved up enough crystals and rented ten acres of fish ponds from the sect. He no longer has time to run the restaurant."
However, if we go to his residence and bother him, we can still get to eat the spirit fish.
His junior colleague comes to him every three months to spend lavishly, and is currently his third-largest client.
"Come on, help me pack up. We'll buy a few bottles of spirit wine and go over to congratulate Junior Brother Liang."
“Okay!” Ji An agreed with a smile.
