Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Large-Scale Soybean Cultivation

Later, Fang Yun returned to the canyon again, waiting for the soybeans to reach maturity and getting a chance to rest.
After all, he hadn’t taken a proper break since he broke through to the Third Level of Qi Refining.
A few days later, the soybeans he had planted earlier entered the growing phase.
Fang Yun utilized several Growth Skills in succession, pushing the soybeans directly into maturity.
After resting for more than ten days, these soybeans finally fully matured.
...
Then came the harvest process, and after gaining a few points of Life Essence Qi, Fang Yun’s seed reserve efforts temporarily came to a halt.
Calculating it, combined with the previously stored soybeans, the amount of soybeans Fang Yun had now reached over two hundred thousand jin.
According to the usual soybean planting density, about three to five jin of soybean seeds are needed per mu.
So, this amount of soybeans was enough to plant tens of thousands of mu.
Coupled with the seeds of weeds previously harvested, the Life Essence Qi harvested at that time would be quite considerable.
The most important thing was that this would allow him to test whether providing seeds himself while others helped plant them would fit within the scope of his Golden Finger and if it would allow for the gaining of Life Essence Qi.
If it didn’t work, then all his work during this time would have been in vain.
In that case, there would be no need to continue the seed reserve.
However, with such a large quantity of seeds, Fang Yun wanted to take them all down the mountain; even with his cultivation at the Third Level of Qi Refining, it was impossible for him to do so.
He glanced at the environment within the canyon, thought for a while, and finally decided to have members of the Fang Family or those pirates come to help with the transport.
With his cultivation at the Third Level of Qi Refining, there was no need to keep the canyon so secretive.
The main reason being, the canyon itself didn’t hold many secrets.
It was simply a place where he planted ordinary crops.
Even if others knew about it, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
*This might be the confidence brought about by the improvement in strength.*
Having made up his mind, Fang Yun left the canyon.
He came down to the mountain.
Once more, he met Fang Lin and others.
“Clan Leader, I’ve stored some soybean seeds and some weed seeds in the northern hills,
planning to plant them in the newly expanded lands.
But there’s quite a large amount, and I can’t move them myself, so I’ll need you to arrange for some manpower to help me transport them out!”
Fang Lin nodded, “No problem, I’ll arrange manpower to move those seeds out right away,
but with the newly cultivated lands covering hundreds of thousands of mu, are we planting all of them with soybeans?
If so, our clan won’t be able to consume all those soybeans!”
Fang Yun glanced at him, “The soybean seeds I’m storing now only amount to several hundred thousand jin, which might just cover about sixty thousand mu or so.
For the rest of the land, a portion will be used to plant weeds, and as for the remaining land, we’ll plant more once my seeds have grown!
As for the excess soybeans, if our clan can’t consume them all, we’ll find a way to sell them!
After all, our clan doesn’t have other crop seeds to plant in those arid areas!”
Learning that not only soybeans were to be planted but also weeds in other places, Fang Lin couldn’t help but feel a bit heartbroken.
He mainly felt that it was quite a waste to plant such things on the hard-earned cultivated lands.
“Clan Leader, while our clan may not have other seeds, the islands outside probably do, so why don’t we trade for some seeds, plant a portion first, and then expand gradually? It would be better than planting all soybeans or weeds!”
Fang Yun seriously considered Fang Lin’s suggestion; indeed, using this land to plant other crops was feasible.
However, if he did this, he would have to cultivate several types of common crop seeds.
*That would be too troublesome for him.*
Moreover, the main issue was that Fang Yun still wasn’t sure if the crops grown from these seeds would fall within the scope of his Golden Finger; if not, he didn’t even plan to plant the current seeds, let alone other seeds.
Thus, in the end, Fang Yun shook his head, “Clan Leader, let’s stick to the current plan, just plant those soybeans and weeds. Other crops are too troublesome, so we won’t plant them.”
Fang Lin opened his mouth, but since Fang Yun had already made his decision, there was nothing he, as the Clan Elder, could oppose.
Moreover, Fang Zhou on the side had already tugged at his sleeve several times.
*For them as mortals, saying such things was already somewhat stepping over the line.*
*Fortunately, Fang Yun had a relatively good temper; otherwise, with the usual temperament of a cultivator, Fang Lin might have faced a round of punishment.*
Having made the decision, Fang Lin immediately arranged for thousands of strong clan members to come to the foot of the mountain.
Fang Yun led these thousands of people, circumventing his mountain abode, and went directly to the hills behind the peak.
Although this route was longer, the place where Fang Yun resided was considered sacred to the Fang Family.
Even the Elders of the family couldn’t stay on the mountain for long.
Let alone ordinary clan members.
Hence, they could only bypass the mountain peak to reach the hills behind it.
After arriving above the canyon, Fang Yun opened up a simple path leading down into the canyon.
He then led these people into the canyon.
These thousands of individuals, each with some Martial Arts foundation, could easily carry hundreds of jin of soybean seeds.
In just one trip, they moved all the seeds to the foot of the mountain.
After the seeds were moved out, the next step was planting.
The next day, Fang Yun went to the eastern part of the island.
The terrain there was relatively flat, but previously, due to the lack of clearance, it had always been overgrown with weeds and jungles.
After several months of cultivation, nearly two hundred thousand mu of land had been cleared on the eastern side of the island.
Looking at the vast fields before him, Fang Yun felt limitless emotions.
*This terrain was actually most suitable for mechanized operations.*
*If mechanized operations were used, it wouldn’t take long to plant the two hundred thousand mu of land.*
*Unfortunately, this was a Cultivation World and a mundane island lacking in cultivation power.*
*To plant crops, they could only rely purely on manpower.*
At this time, the land was already filled with thousands of pirates and nearly ten thousand Fang Family members.
Following the Clan Elders’ directions, they began planting the soybean seeds provided by Fang Yun.
