My Daily Life of Farming in the World of Cultivation-Chapter 39 - Completion of Growth Skills Experiment
Chapter 39: Chapter 39 Completion of Growth Skills Experiment
Even so, in terms of yield alone, employing Growth Skills in such a manner not only greatly hastens the maturation time of crops,
but it also does not adversely affect the final outcome.
This has already met the most primary goal for oneself.
Observing that the Spirit Rice seedlings had also passed the seedling stage, Fang Yun chose 10 seemingly promising seedlings to keep.
After clearing all the underperforming seedlings,
he applied the Growth Skills once again.
...
As a green glow gathered in a corner of the spirit field,
the specially selected Spirit Rice seedlings also began to grow wildly.
Perhaps due to the small number of Spirit Rice, merely a single application of the Growth Skills brought the seedlings directly into the ripening stage.
Watching the rapidly growing Spirit Rice, still vibrant in color, and the rice panicles that had just begun to emerge at the top,
Fang Yun nodded in satisfaction, and the rest would depend on the harvest results after a month.
However, Fang Yun wasn’t planning to just wait idly during this month.
Returning to the cave, he spent a few days recovering his Mana.
Fang Yun then went back to the canyon,
starting to promote the growth of 100 acres of soybean seedlings.
Since the previous experiments had shown no significant issues, it was naturally time to promote the growth of these soybeans now,
to harvest a large batch of quality seeds as swiftly as possible,
to facilitate his subsequent planting plans.
After three consecutive casts of the Growth Skills, all the soybean seedlings matured.
It was fortunate that he was solely interested in the seeds of the soybeans; if it were for Life Essence Qi, he didn’t know how much loss would have been incurred.
During the waiting period for the soybeans to mature, Fang Yun planted all the harvested weed seeds back in the original herb-growing area,
and then used the Earth Power Skills and Spirit Rain Skill to enhance the soil’s nutrients and spiritual energy.
This can be considered a temporary completion of the task.
Several days later, when all the soybeans were harvested, there wasn’t much difference in yield.
The Life Essence Qi increased by a point.

Cultivation: Qi Cultivation level 2
Mana: 21
Life Essence Qi: 16.016
Spells: Earth Power Skills (Skilled 30%) Spirit Rain Skill (Skilled 10%) Growth Skills (Beginner 59%)
Plant Control: Spirit Rice (330)…
Besides this harvest, the consecutive casting of these spells during this period also brought about significant progress in these spells, and the Spirit Rain Skill officially moved into the skilled phase.
The range covered by the Spirit Rain cast was wider, and its casting speed was faster.
Plus, the Spirit Rain now contained even more Spiritual Energy.
The only pity was that these controlled plants did not display their maturation time, which would have been more convenient.
However, with the Growth Skills, the maturity time of these plants was significantly accelerated; ordinary crops required just a month’s time.
For Spirit Rice, which absorbs Spiritual Energy, it needed just over two months, so there was no need for specific calculations.
In this way, the speed of accumulating Life Essence Qi would be greatly increased in the future.
The only concern was that the supply of Spiritual Energy from the Spiritual Spring might not keep up with the consumption of the Spirit Rice.
In this regard, other than using Spirit Stones for replenishment,
the only method was to use the Spirit Rain Skill to supplement the Spiritual Energy in the spirit field.
The one problem is that his own Mana is still too low; if he uses the Spirit Rain Skill frequently in the future, there might be some difficulties in this aspect.
However, once this batch of Spirit Rice is completely matured, the harvested Life Essence Qi should be enough for me to breakthrough to the third level of Qi Cultivation.
By then, I will not be so passive.
After making a rough plan for my future.
Fang Yun stimulated the growth of the already-growing weeds.
The maturity time of the weeds is relatively short, and just one Growth Skill is enough for a hundred acres of weeds to all reach maturity.
It only needs a little longer before they can all be harvested.
However, since the maturity time is short, Fang Yun does not hold much hope for the Life Essence Qi that can be harvested from these weeds.
Or rather, for ordinary crops, unless they reach a scale of tens of thousands of acres, the harvested Life Essence Qi would not be enough for his own consumption.
After completing the stimulation of these weeds, it was not long before the ten Spirit Rice plants used for the experiment were fully matured.
Perhaps due to the small number, these ten Spirit Rice plants did not attract any pests.
This indeed relieved Fang Yun.
To be honest, perhaps due to the environment of Spirit Water Island, except for the initial Green Beetles, Fang Yun had not seen other pests appear.
This significantly saved him effort during farming.
Following the complete harvest of these Spirit Rice plants, Fang Yun also reaped 10 points of Life Essence Qi and a certain amount of Spirit Rice grain.

Life Essence Qi: 26.016
Spells: Earth Power Skills (Skilled 30%), Spirit Rain Skill (Skilled 10%), Growth Skills (Beginner 60%)
Control over Plants: Spirit Rice (320) …
Fang Yun is not particularly concerned about the Spirit Rice grain; after all, the Spirit Energy in the spirit field is limited, and even with many seeds, he does not have enough Spiritual Energy to sustain them.
On the contrary, the ten points of increased Life Essence Qi were a pleasant surprise.
The harvest of these ten Spirit Rice plants also represented that the usage method of Growth Skills had fully matured.
In the future, the growth time of his crops will be greatly shortened.
This is of great benefit to his future farming and cultivation endeavors.
Since Growth Skills had been completely mastered, it goes without saying that the remaining 320 Spirit Rice plants need to be stimulated for growth as soon as possible.
Thus, next to the spirit field, Fang Yun directly deployed the Growth Skills.
When the blue light covered all the Spirit Rice, they began to grow rapidly.
Nevertheless, they are not ordinary crops, and a single Growth Skill was obviously not enough to bring the Spirit Rice to maturity.
Moreover, as the Spirit Rice grew rapidly, the consumption of ordinary energy and Spiritual Energy within the spirit field was also extremely alarming.
After deploying the Growth Skills, the Spirit Rice transmitted an intense hunger feeling to Fang Yun.
Using Earth Power Skills to gauge the situation in the spirit field, Fang Yun could tell that the residual ordinary energy and Spiritual Energy were no longer sufficient for another application of Growth Skills.
Therefore, Fang Yun had to consecutively deploy the Spirit Rain Skill, consuming most of his Mana, barely managing to replenish the Spiritual Energy in the spirit field.
However, after replenishing the Spiritual Energy, a large amount of ordinary energy is still needed.
Subsequently, Fang Yun returned to the cave and, after a few days of recovering some Mana,
he went into the northern mountains.
Then, using Earth Power Skills, he condensed a large amount of ordinary energy in the soil, and then transported all this soil into the spirit field.
He completed the replenishment of ordinary energy in the spirit field.
After doing all this, Fang Yun had laid the foundation for the next deployment of Growth Skills.
It can be said that although Growth Skills can greatly accelerate the growth of Spirit Rice,
the required conditions are indeed very troublesome.
Indeed, taking shortcuts always comes with certain costs.
