My Daily Life of Farming in the World of Cultivation-Chapter 49 - Replanting of Spirit Rice
Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Replanting of Spirit Rice
Fang Yun squatted down, carefully sensing the young soybean plants in front of him.
Although he felt that the emotional connection with these seedlings was much weaker compared to the ones he had planted in the canyon,
emotions were not something that could be easily quantified.
Therefore, it was indeed unlikely for Fang Yun to estimate the amount of Life Essence Qi to be harvested based on this aspect.
Well then, since that’s the case, he might as well wait until the harvest to see how much Life Essence Qi was obtained before making further plans.
After all, these weeds would only take about a month to mature, and the soybeans would need about two to three months to mature.
...
For him, this amount of time wasn’t particularly long.
It happened to be a good opportunity to harvest another batch of Spirit Rice.
In this way, even if the Life Essence Qi harvested from these crops was less than he expected,
he could compensate with Spirit Rice.
Thinking this, Fang Yun turned his gaze towards the five pirate captains, especially Black Widow.

“From now on, just focus on taking care of these crops.
Don’t rush to reclaim the untouched wasteland on the other side.
Wait until I see the harvest of these crops before making any decisions!”
Upon hearing his words, the five pirate captains bowed respectfully and said, “Yes, Immortal Master!”
For them, as captives, Fang Yun’s orders were everything.
So, whether it was cultivating wasteland or caring for crops, it made no difference to them.
Fang Yun nodded, and after giving instructions to the two clan elders, he returned to the mountains.
First, he arrived above the canyon and glanced at the vine that was entering its mature phase.
He noticed that the vine was just lazily coiling on the ground, not hunting beasts like the other four vines.
Nor did it show any signs of blooming or pollination characteristic of its maturation period.
This puzzled Fang Yun; could it be that this vine reproduced asexually?
If that were the case, how could he determine whether the vine had matured?
Fang Yun moved a little closer and carefully sensed the vine’s specific condition.
He found that while the vine lay still, the energy inside it was circulating rapidly.
Besides the swift circulation of energy within it, Fang Yun also noticed several points of energy convergence on its branches.
And indeed, he observed some small bulges forming on the branches of the vine.
With this observation, Fang Yun realized that these should be the places where it would bloom, pollinate, and then produce seeds.
Since it was capable of blooming and pollination, the vine was a sexually reproducing plant.
This made it easier to determine its maturation period.
However, judging by the current progress, the vine’s maturation period could be even more prolonged than that of Spirit Rice.
But this was normal, as the Spirit Rice he planted was merely the lowest level of Spirit Plant.
These vines, having a high probability of being of a higher rank than Spirit Rice,
would naturally have a longer maturation period.
After observing the situation of this vine,
Fang Yun returned to the mountains.
He came to the side of the spirit field and spent a day cleaning up all the weeds and the roots left by the previous batch of Spirit Rice in the field.
Since the previous planting of Spirit Rice had depleted the soil, although some time had passed, both the ordinary energy and the Spiritual Energy in the dirt had not fully recovered.
Therefore, Fang Yun once again entered the northern mountains.
Following the previous method, Fang Yun concentrated the ordinary energy in the soil and then transported the energy-rich mud back to the spirit field.
However, this time, Fang Yun did not completely eradicate the normal energy from other lands.
After replacing the soil in the spirit field, he used the Spirit Rain Skill twice to replenish the Spiritual Energy within the field.
Having done all this, Fang Yun began the breeding work for the Spirit Rice.
Adopting the work pattern from the last time, he first scattered the Spirit Rice Seeds in the specially designated breeding corner that had been scientifically determined previously.
Then, he covered them with soil.
Next was to wait for these Spirit Rice Seeds to germinate and grow to the stage where they could be transplanted.
This process would take roughly ten to twenty days.
After transplantation, there would still be a waiting period until the Spirit Rice entered its growth phase and could be induced to grow faster.
Before this, there wasn’t much that Fang Yun could actually do.
It was just insect prevention and weed removal.
Now, with the presence of Spiritual Insects, Fang Yun didn’t even need to do insect prevention anymore.
The only thing left was the occasional inspection work.
Having rested for a few days and starting to enjoy some idle time, Fang Yun began making plans for what lay ahead.
Following his initial plan, Fang Yun had completed the expanded cultivation of crops and the reseeding of Spirit Rice.
Although the outcome of the effort wasn’t as splendid as he had anticipated, neither was it as poor as he had initially imagined.
Overall, the situation was moderate, not fully satisfying, but not completely disappointing either.
After expanding the cultivation of the other crops, he didn’t need to tend to them anymore.
Before the results from that effort came in, Fang Yun did not plan to force the crops to produce new seeds.
Therefore, Fang Yun’s main focus was now taking care of the Spirit Rice.
In addition to that, it was just waiting for the vine to mature and see what could be harvested.
These tasks did not require too much time.
In terms of farming, there was nothing much else to do at present.
So the next phase would only involve improving his Cultivation Level and practicing Spells.
This plan had actually crossed Fang Yun’s mind briefly when he broke through the third level of Qi Cultivation.
But now, upon revisiting the plan, he realized his initial thoughts weren’t thorough enough.
Most importantly, he had overlooked a critical factor.
To advance his Cultivation Level to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation, besides having a sufficient amount of Life Essence Qi, one also needed the Cultivation Technique of the fourth level.
However, the Chang Chun Skill inherited from the Fang Family was only suitable up to the third level of Qi Cultivation.
Regarding the Qi Refinement Technique for the fourth level, Fang Yun didn’t possess it.
This meant that even if he had an abundant amount of Life Essence Qi, without the support of a proper Cultivation Technique, breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation would likely be impossible.
Perhaps his concerns during previous breakthroughs were solely focused on whether he had enough Life Essence Qi and not about the Cultivation Technique.
As a result, Fang Yun hadn’t considered the significant problem of advancing to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation over these past days.
Realizing this made Fang Yun suddenly become somewhat restless.
Because the only way to obtain the continued techniques of the Chang Chun Skill would be to leave Spirit Water Island.
To look for a place where Cultivators trade.
But visiting such places, with his current Cultivation Level and means of Protecting himself, was indeed somewhat dangerous.
