My Daily Life of Farming in the World of Cultivation-Chapter 38 - Vine Seeds

Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Vine Seeds

The plants being cultivated were growing very smoothly under the influence of sufficient nutrition and Spiritual Energy.

The next day, while the Spirit Rice Seeds had yet to show any response, the soybean seeds and other weed seeds had already sprouted.

Fang Yun wasn’t surprised by this; after all, these ordinary plants don’t require much from the soil’s nutritional content.

Especially considering the high-nutrient soil he had meticulously prepared, along with the presence of Spiritual Energy.

Fang Yun simply observed these seeds for a while, and seeing that they all had basically sprouted, he no longer paid them any attention.

...

There wasn’t a rush for time at the moment; he would wait another ten days or so, until these seeds had grown to a certain extent, before promoting their growth.

Using this interval, Fang Yun took out the vine seeds he had obtained from Daoist Qingmu to study.

From the way Daoist Qingmu used these seeds, they should be the type of seeds that can cast spells.

This name was casually coined by Fang Yun based on the effects of those vines.

Means it’s a seed that can exert the effects of a spell.

Looking at the seeds, which were the size of lotus seeds and pitch black, Fang Yun remembered Daoist Qingmu’s methods. Thus, he selected one, threw it on the ground, and cast the Growth Skills, hitting the pitch-black seed with the green energy.

Affected by the green energy, the pitch-black seed broke open very quickly, then its roots penetrated the soil and grew rapidly.

By the time the effects of the Growth Skills faded, a vine several meters long and as thick as a bowl with sharp spikes on its body had appeared on the ground.

Fang Yun looked at the vine lying on the ground, twisting like a long snake.

Sensing the simple profile transmitted by the vine, he found he could actually command this vine.

For this, Fang Yun didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary, just that he could vaguely sense the overall situation of the vine, just like how he sensed the Spirit Rice he cultivated through Golden Finger.

This did surprise Fang Yun a bit.

He had thought this method of sensing was unique to his Golden Finger.

Unexpectedly, a simple spell could also perceive the vine’s basic situation.

Afterward, a slight thought in Fang Yun’s mind, and the vine began to coil around him continuously.

Seeing this scene, Fang Yun’s face revealed a smile.

Other than feeling a bit of amusement, what Fang Yun valued was this feeling of commanding the vine as easily as using his own arm.

Although he already possessed a Magic Artifact, having more attack power was something Fang Yun wouldn’t disdain.

However, his delight did not last long, for after a while, perhaps because the duration of the spell had ended, the previously ferocious vine suddenly started to wither.

In a short time, the vine that had been several meters long shrank into a dry stick less than a meter long, crumbling at a light squeeze.

Looking at the crumbling debris in his hands, Fang Yun shook his head helplessly.

Such a spell might have some Impact Force, but its duration was too short—it was ultimately rather disappointing.

However, if it weren’t viewed as a spell, but simply as a plant, that would be somewhat different.

At any rate, it was a type of Spiritual Object!

Fang Yun looked at the remaining vine seeds, pondering thoughtfully.

He wondered if simply cultivating these vine seeds in the ordinary way, would they grow differently.

Right now, Fang Yun practically only had the Spirit Rice as a Spiritual Object, and it was the lowest grade of the primary rank among Spiritual Objects.

If these vines could also become a type of Spiritual Object, then Fang Yun would have two kinds of Spiritual Objects.

Even if such Spiritual Objects had no other effects, just their Life Essence Qi alone would be enough to excite Fang Yun.

With a trace of curiosity and a hint of anticipation in his heart, Fang Yun took out several seeds and found a small patch of land on a mountain corner to plant them.

The same planting combo, Earth Power Skills and Spirit Rain Skill, could all be arranged.

Ensuring that the vine seeds would have ample nutrients.

As for the Growth Skills, Fang Yun didn’t bother with them for now; he only hoped that the vine seeds would grow normally.

Then he would see how they differed from the ones that had been hastened.

After being busy with this for a few days, the Spirit Rice Seeds also began to sprout.

However, the seedling stage of Spirit Rice was relatively longer, needing more than a month, so only observation was necessary during this period.

A few days later, the soybean seedlings and those of the weeds had grown as well.

Basically, they began to reach the growing stage.

Fang Yun returned to the valley and, using Earth Power Skills, condensed a portion of ordinary energy and concentrated it into a section of soil.

To make the nutrients in this soil sufficiently rich and then move it up the mountain to supplement the two plots planted with soybeans and weeds, ensuring they had enough nutrients.

After supplementing them twice with the Spirit Rain Skill, providing a certain amount of Spiritual Energy,

He then began to apply the Growth Skills to them.

A spell of Growth Skills was cast over the plot with soybeans.

The soybean seedlings began to grow crazily, and in no time, the seedlings started to mature.

Pods sprouted in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, Fang Yun directed the green energy condensed by the Growth Skills to another plot where weeds were planted.

As the green energy left, the growth of the soybean seedlings also halted.

While the weeds, in turn, grew wildly just the same.

Though the soybean seedlings had consumed most of the green energy, the weeds had a shorter growth time and required less energy.

Under the influence of the remaining green energy, those weeds quickly entered their mature stage.

Seeing there was still a thin amount of green energy left, Fang Yun decided not to continue to hasten their growth.

To prevent any impact on the final seed yield of the weeds.

Having completed the hastening of these two types of plants, next was to see what influence it would have, once the mature period passed, compared to normally grown crops.

After about ten more days, the weeds reached full maturity first.

Fang Yun collected all the seeds and compared them with the harvest of weeds previously planted in the canyon.

He found that there wasn’t much difference between the two.

It seemed that with ample nutrients, even if part of them were hastened, there wasn’t much impact on the final yield.

Uncertain, after the soybeans were fully mature, Fang Yun also checked the yield of the soybeans.

He discovered that compared to the last batch of soybeans, there was no significant difference when considering individual plants.

But to know the difference in final yield, it would be best to hasten the growth of those soybeans in the canyon for comparison.

Of course, these harvests were merely material gains and not particularly important to Fang Yun.

By contrast, he cared more about the harvest of Life Essence Qi.

However, unfortunately, the Life Essence Qi to be harvested from the mere quantity of ordinary plants was too little.

These decimal numbers were indeed difficult to compare.
