I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm-Chapter 42: A Modest Harvest

At the foot of Changling Mountain.

It was as if it was prearranged, many Spirit Farmers decided to harvest the Spirit Grain Rice on this day.

Therefore, early on, many Spirit Farmers rushed to the Spirit Field.

Especially Old Xu, who mobilized almost the entire family, young and old.

Ten acres of Spirit Field, wouldn’t it take quite a while to handle?

Some solitary Spirit Farmers did not hesitate to spend, specifically hiring one or two Innate Martial Artists to help with the work.

Although the stalks of Spirit Grain Rice are tough, the Grass Cutting Sabers are sharp, and adding the not-so-weak Innate True Qi from the Martial Artists, harvesting Spirit Grain is not a problem.

"Let’s start, try to harvest all the Spirit Rice today."

Zhou Qiankun shouted in a low voice, directly taking a Grass Cutting Saber and heading into the Spirit Field.

Zhou Changwang, of course, wouldn’t be lazy either, taking a Grass Cutting Saber and entering the field from another side.

The Spiritual Power in his body slightly stirred, flowing into the Grass Cutting Saber. Then he grabbed a stalk of Linghe with force and made a slash.

The Linghe was cut off, and he placed it aside, continuing to harvest the next one. After cutting a dozen or so, he paused to gather all the Spirit Rice stalks together.

Compared to Zhou Changwang, his father Zhou Qiankun’s speed was much faster.

Just standing there, aiming the blade at the Spirit Grain Rice, as True Qi surged, the blade flashed.

Thump...

A dull sound echoed, and a patch of Spirit Grain Rice in front of him was completely harvested. He picked them up one by one, stacking them aside, and then moved forward to swing the blade again.

One slice, one patch, one patch, one pile.

This repeated.

Before Zhou Changwang could finish one bundle, three new piles had already formed beside him.

This, even after taking some time to pick up the Spirit Rice, otherwise the speed would be even faster.

Seeing this, Zhou Changwang quickly went forward and said, "Dad, you do the cutting, I’ll do the picking, this way we’ll be faster."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiankun nodded and then, with True Qi surging, made a forward swing.

Swish~!

One cut and a large area was sliced, then he moved forward again, swinging the blade once more.

Zhou Changwang followed behind, quickly picking up.

Their cooperation was very fast.

In less than half an hour, an acre of Spirit Field was fully harvested.

Then, Zhou Changwang dragged over a cart, intending to thresh the Spirit Rice from the stalks, but Zhou Qiankun quickly stopped him and said, "No need to be so troublesome."

Saying this, he placed the Spirit Rice stalks into the cart. With a slight tremor of his body, the power transmitted, and the Spirit Rice condensed on the Linghe flew off right away.

Looking again at the Linghe stalks, aside from one or two shriveled grains, there was absolutely nothing left.

"Dad, what Martial Arts is this?

And that sword technique used for cutting the Spirit Rice seems extremely strong too."

Zhou Changwang couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

"This is the Spirit Rhinoceros Shaking Force. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

It transmits power, utilizing the force of vibrations to shake off the Spirit Rice at the end of the Linghe. It’s nothing much, as most Innate Martial Artists can easily master it.

As for that sword technique, it is called the Windward Slash, taking the concept of advancing against the wind and slashing with reverse momentum. For those with profound realms, they may even align with heaven and earth, achieving harmony with one slash.

In other words, even if the wind blows against the blade, when the Martial Artist swings the sword, they can blend into it, enhancing its power with the force of the wind."

At first, Zhou Qiankun was a bit pleased, but after seeing Zhou Changwang, he quickly changed the topic, saying, "These are just minor paths.

Compared to Magic, they are nothing at all.

There’s no need for you to focus on them. It’s a waste of time.

Learning Magic well, increasing cultivation, that’s what matters most.

As long as you reach the Qi Refining Fourth Level, regardless of any Martial Artist, they’re as insignificant as chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning."

"I feel that there’s something unique in the Martial Arts path."

Zhou Changwang knew that his father’s Martial Arts were actually highly advanced, being a true pinnacle Martial Arts expert.

But unfortunately, in this Cultivation World, with the path forward cut off, even at the pinnacle of Martial Arts, it’s powerless against a Cultivator at the Qi Refining Fourth Level.

Because once a Cultivator reaches the Qi Refining Fourth Level, Spiritual Power can merge with Spiritual Power, forming Spiritual Sense. No matter how subtle the Martial Arts, in the presence of Spiritual Sense, they are exposed, and with a Cultivator at the Qi Refining Fourth Level able to control Magical Artifacts at will, maneuvering freely, the power is immense. Even if a Martial Arts Innate has True Qi defense, they are ultimately just mortal, unable to withstand.

For this reason, he always opposed Zhou Changwang practicing Martial Arts, not wanting him to waste time on it.

"Ultimately, it’s just the skills of mortals, not worth much."

Zhou Qiankun shook his head with a sigh.

Zhou Changwang wanted to offer a few words of comfort, but ultimately remained silent.

In the Cultivation Realm, there are body cultivation methods, but even for body cultivation, Spiritual Roots are required to practice.

A mortal body simply cannot withstand the baptism of Spiritual Qi.

Perhaps in the Martial Arts path, there are geniuses who can find another way, taking a critical step to enter the path through Martial Arts. Yet at least within Fengming Dock Marketplace, no such individuals exist.

Zhou Qiankun, after twenty years of search, has not heard of such a person appearing.

Afterward, Zhou Qiankun continued to work.

With Spirit Rhinoceros Shaking Force technique, the Spirit Grain fell quickly.

Zhou Changwang only needed to take out bags and pack all the shaken Spirit Grains into them.

Soon, an acre of Spirit Field was fully harvested, and beside him, there were three more bags of Spirit Grain.

"One bag of Spirit Rice weighs about two hundred jin. Three bags make six hundred jin.

Subtracting the grain husks, it’s about five hundred fifty jin."

Zhou Changwang quickly calculated, feeling quite satisfied in his heart.

Five hundred fifty jin already exceeded his planned yield.

The surplus is pure profit.

However, the second acre, which had been ravaged by the Iron Armor Pig, despite recovering slightly through the Withered Wood Revival Technique, the Spirit Grain Rice eaten away could not grow back.

The final harvest barely yielded two bags, with a total weight of around four hundred jin. After excluding the husks, the output of Spirit Rice was about three hundred seventy jin.

The third acre of Spirit Field gave Zhou Changwang a pleasant surprise, yielding six hundred seventy jin of Spirit Grain. After excluding the husks, he could harvest about six hundred twenty jin of Spirit Rice.

"In total, I harvested approximately fifteen hundred and thirty jin of Spirit Rice.

Even disregarding the damage by the Iron Armor Pig, the average per acre reached five hundred jin,

amounting to a small bumper harvest.

My efforts over this period were not in vain."

Looking at the bags of Spirit Grain piled in the Spirit Field, Zhou Changwang smiled.

As for the yield-reduced field, he was compensated in another way.

That Iron Armor Pig, sold by Zhou Qiankun, brought him an income of one hundred ten Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

Now his total Spirit Stones have reached over eight hundred eighty.

He’s not far from the milestone of a thousand.
