My Daily Life of Farming in the World of Cultivation-Chapter 37 - : Back to the Mountain

Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Back to the Mountain

After harvesting all the medicinal herbs, it wasn’t long before the various weeds that had been planted also started to mature.

Fang Yun carefully collected all the seeds from the weeds, and then harvested all the weeds.

Once again, he felt that cool, refreshing sensation.

Fang Yun couldn’t help but open the panel that he hadn’t looked at in a long time.

Cultivation: Qi Cultivation level two

Mana: 20

...

Life Essence Qi: 15.012

Control over plants: Spirit Rice (320), soybeans (500,000)

Spells: Earth Power Skills (Skilled 9%), Spirit Rain Skill (Beginner 60%), Growth Skills (Beginner 9%)

The plants he controlled no longer displayed the herbs and weeds that had been harvested.

On the panel, there were a few more decimal points after the Life Essence Qi value.

These decimals came from the trial harvest of the spirit rice as well as the weeds that were recently harvested.

Although the amount was sparse, as long as there was production of Life Essence Qi, it was enough for him, even if it was just these decimal points, it became difficult to estimate the difference in Life Essence Qi yielded from these weeds compared to ordinary crops.

Unless he could plant a hundred acres of weeds to make an accurate estimate.

However, even if he wanted to plant them, he didn’t have enough seeds at the moment, but he would consider it later. After all, as long as there was a harvest of Life Essence Qi, it was fine.

After confirming this, the next step was to collect enough seeds.

However, collecting seeds still required the use of Growth Skills.

Otherwise, relying solely on natural growth, the time spent would be too long.

Although this would waste a lot of Mana, since this matter relates to his future farming plans, he couldn’t just consider cost-effectiveness.

Similarly, a large amount of soybean seeds would need to be stimulated if he wanted to meet the needs of expanded planting.

These seeds, after all, grew under the influence of his Golden Finger, and Fang Yun could even sense the vitality in the seeds of the mature plants.

In this way, planting them again would be even more influenced by his Golden Finger.

Even during the expansion of planting, with other people’s help, the possibility that the grown crops would be within the range of his Golden Finger’s influence would be higher.

However, to prepare more seeds using the Growth Skills.

He needed to analyse the Growth Skills in more detail to make them more compatible with the crops he intended to plant.

The result obtained by the previous way of using the Growth Skills was obviously not suitable.

Therefore, a few more rounds of experiments were necessary.

Only after mastering all the techniques of using the Growth Skills.

Could he achieve the desired effect.

Actually, learning the original Growth Skills wasn’t supposed to be so troublesome, and its application was only to stimulate those spell seeds for combat purposes.

There was no need to consider the growth issues of those spell seeds.

But now, due to different needs, Fang Yun required the Growth Skills to speed up the growth of his planted crops.

This necessitated a reconsideration of the application of the Growth Skills in this regard.

However, although the initial stage was difficult, as long as he succeeded, it would provide great help for the development of his future farming career and his cultivation issues.

Thus, Fang Yun selected some soybean seeds and weed seeds and returned to the mountain.

This time, when conducting the experiment, Fang Yun planned to do it on the mountain and also incorporate the Spirit Rice.

After all, since he already had some results, using the Spirit Rice wasn’t a waste.

In this way, he could quickly see results and also take this opportunity to harvest some Life Essence Qi.

Upon arriving at the mountain, Fang Yun simply cleared the weeds from the spirit field and then sensed the mood of the Spirit Rice to see if there were any other factors affecting its growth.

After all that, Fang Yun returned to the cave to absorb Spiritual Energy and recover his Mana.

Early the next day, Fang Yun left the cave and found two plots of land nearby, planning to use them for planting experiments with soybeans and those weeds.

He cleared the trees and weeds on top, then used Earth Power Skills and the Spirit Rain Skill to enrich the soil with nutrients.

This had become the standard preparation before starting to farm.

Afterwards, he scattered soybean seeds and weed seeds on the two pieces of land, separately.

He did not rush to use the Growth Skills to promote growth.

Instead, he went back to the corner of the spirit field, the area where he previously experimented with Spirit Rice.

After a simple cleanup, he used Earth Power Skills to adjust the energy and Spiritual Energy within the soil.

Then he scattered the Spirit Rice Seeds.

After completing all these tasks, he could proceed with hastening their growth using the Growth Skills.

However, Fang Yun thought about the previous experiments with rice, and although they ended up successful, they still did not compare to rice grown normally.

In other words, during the early fostering stage, some growth stages should not be hastily skipped over.

Identifying which stage had issues required an understanding of the various stages a crop goes through during its growth.

Technically speaking, the growth stages of crops can be divided into six stages.

Namely, the sowing stage, germination stage, seedling stage, growth stage, reproductive stage, and finally, the maturity stage.

The sowing stage, being just about the seeds, doesn’t require much consideration.

The germination and seedling stages could be combined as the first stage, a period when the sprout emerges from the seed and is relatively delicate.

At this stage, akin to the crops’ seedling stage, an increased input of nutrients is typically needed.

Only in this way can they quickly enter their period of growth.

The second stage is the regular growth period, which lasts the longest but is generally the most stable.

As long as there is a sufficient supply of nutrients and protection from weeds and pests, there should not be any major problems.

The reproductive and maturity stages can be combined into the third stage.

At this stage, the plants would have reached their growth limits; it’s all about harvest, so it makes sense to treat them as one stage.

Therefore, according to these three stages, previous experiments have shown that if Growth Skills are applied during the maturity stage, the crops fail to yield any harvest.

Naturally, the Life Essence Qi I seek would also end in no result.

Similarly, during the seedling stage, due to its huge dependence on the external environment and the need for ample nutrients.

Accelerating growth at this stage would result in nutrient-deficient seedlings, also affecting the final outcome.

Only during the growth period, the stage with the least external demands, does using Growth Skills have the minimal impact.

Additionally, this stage requires the longest growth time, and using Growth Skills to shorten this period is most convenient for me.

If my assumption is correct, then it would be best to wait until these crops have entered their growth period before using Growth Skills to hasten their maturation.

In any case, both the seedling and maturity periods do not consume much time.

Even for crops like Spirit Rice that absorb Spiritual Energy, these two periods amount to only about two months.

This is not a very long time for me.

Thinking this, Fang Yun thus wasn’t in a hurry to promote growth for the crops under experimentation.

He decided to wait until they had grown up before taking further action.
