Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 141: Right Time, Right Place, Right People
After all the evaluations were completed, Chen Jing also received a new identity card, which only contained information related to the academy. He called it a student card.

Record your rating and the weight of each art on your student card.

As usual, Chen Jing understood it in the way he was familiar with.

They are divided into three categories: compulsory courses, major courses and elective courses.

Among them, the two basic attributes of mana and spiritual awareness are compulsory courses, and learning points gives the most.

Although physique is one of the basic attributes, it seems that the academy does not care about it and has become an elective.

Afterwards, there are eight major subjects: alchemy, instruments, talismans, formations, spinning, beast taming, spiritual plants, and medicine. Every cultivator must choose one or two of them to specialize in, and a lot of learning points are given.

Chen Jing naturally signed up for spiritual plants and alchemy as his major, and he had a good background.

In addition to these, there are elective subjects. Music, chess, calligraphy and painting are actually no less important than the eight major subjects, but the success path of elixir, weapons and talismans can be stably replicated.

As for artistic training, no matter how well it is taught, it can only produce a group of "art craftsmen". The upper limit of this kind of practitioners is not very high, and therefore, it is classified as an elective course by the academy.

Listed as electives along with the arts category are the Hundred Arts of Life, such as cooking, drama, business, fishing and hunting, stealing, incense and faith, etc. These are easy to copy and have a very high upper limit, but the Qingnang Sect does not have good teachers, so they become the second choice.

What surprised Chen Jing was that there was no subject related to fighting.

You know, guns are the foundation of everything.

It was not until Chen Jing saw a project called "Ten Years Outside the Territory" that he realized there was a special place for fighting.

In addition to subjects, there are benefits.

The basic welfare of the students in the academy is a bit exaggerated. Many palaces on Bailian Peak have spirit gathering arrays, which are now allocated to them as dormitories. The authority to use a series of advanced spells and the purchase of high-level materials are also open to students.

Roughly estimated, it is equivalent to 70% of the true benefits.

This investment is not small. You should know that each main peak can only raise seven or eight true disciples at most, but now, there are more than a hundred true disciples in the school palace, which is equivalent to 70%.

Of course, many of them are knowledge-based, reusable resources such as spells, so the actual investment will be less.

……

Three days after the evaluation, it was time to start school.

"Ding~"

There was a vibration from the jade student card.

The divine consciousness read a message.

[The sermon in the Spiritual Plant Hall is about to begin, and the direct access method in Wantongfang is...]

"The class is starting."

Chen Jing rushed to the destination with great anticipation.

I have been studying secondary hybridization these days, but unfortunately I have no good ideas. I am hoping to get some inspiration from the academy.

When we arrived at the destination, it was already crowded and the front row was already full.

As the first lesson in the academy.

Many people who did not focus on spiritual planting came. In addition, there were also disciples within the sect who had not yet obtained the status of students, who were also listening quietly on both sides.

Chen Jing quickly grabbed a cushion at the back and sat on it.

Look up.

Sitting on the main seat was an old man in a blue robe, with gray hair, eyes closed, and dozing off with his hands on the table.

"The Supreme Elder!"

Suddenly someone couldn't help but whisper the name of the person above.

Supreme Elder?
Suddenly, everyone's respect reached a new level.

The supreme elders are all at the same level as the masters of the major peaks. If Taoist Yun Ting passes away, and the eldest senior brother Zhao Kongxuan inherits Juetian Peak and Dongtian, then Chen Jing and the other senior brothers and sisters will be the supreme elders in the future.

With the sound of a bell, the dozing Grand Elder opened his hazy eyes.

"Is everyone here?"

The Grand Elder glanced leisurely around the classroom.

"With so many people, all those who should and shouldn't have come should have arrived. In that case, let's get started. In my first lesson, I will demonstrate three magic formulas to all the students."

He just stretched out his hand and the originally sunny hall suddenly became dark. A strong wind blew outside the window, causing the furnishings inside to fall down.

The disciples' hair was also blown by the wind, and their clothes were flying in disarray.

Boom~
There was a loud bang in the sky. Lightning flashed first, and then there was the sound of thunder, as if the gods were standing on the clouds and beating drums, which shocked people's hearts.

With a patter, big raindrops began to fall, and the air was filled with abundant water vapor.

"The first magic formula is to call the wind and rain. The way of spiritual plants depends on the right time, the right place, and the right people. Wind and rain are the right time. If there are too many clouds and rain, they can be dispersed."

The old Taoist waved his sleeves again, and the heavy clouds quickly dissipated, and the sun shone down again.

"Then there is the advantage of the land. Spiritual plants rely on the energy of the earth veins. If you don't understand earth vein magic, don't plant spiritual plants anymore."

Subsequently.

After demonstrating the earth vein magic to everyone, the spiritual energy in the entire hall suddenly increased, and people couldn't help but shout out in pleasure.

"The third method is to accelerate the growth of spiritual plants. It takes a few months or a year for spiritual plants to grow. High-grade spiritual plants take decades to bloom and bear fruit. In the process, the person is buried in the ground, and the spiritual plant has not yet produced fruit. How can it be achieved? Human intervention and human acceleration, this is human harmony."

The old Taoist took out a peach sapling.

The yin and yang energies circulated, enveloping the saplings. Under the gaze of everyone, the peach trees grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, towering like a canopy, bearing flowers and fruits. The fist-sized peaches exuded a fragrant aroma.

"Go."

The ripe peaches suddenly fell off and flew into everyone's hands, no more, no less, one for everyone.

Chen Jing looked at the peach in his hand.

The third grade spiritual fruit: longevity peach.

Long-term consumption can slightly increase lifespan.

"What an amazing labor-inducing method! This should be the sixth-grade labor-inducing method, 'Yin Yang Transformation'."

Chen Jing felt envious.

The effect of peaches in slightly increasing lifespan may not be intuitive enough, but it is very intuitive from the perspective of price.

The market price of each peach is 300 spirit stones. The old Taoist uses a spell to create a peach tree that bears a lot of fruits. In just a short moment, it costs nearly spirit stones, which is no more than the price of a money printing machine.

In front of such works, Chen Jing felt that his own hybrid book seemed so mediocre.

"What is the purpose of the Way of Spiritual Plants? Do any students understand?"

The old Taoist took a bite of a peach and asked questions to everyone in a casual manner.

"I think it's for pleasure. Delicacies from the mountains and the sea are hard to come by, but spiritual fruits and vegetables are easy to get. From now on, delicious food will be readily available~"

"That's wrong. The way of spiritual plants is naturally for cultivation and for refining pills!"

"Are you all wild people from the mountains? Don't you know that our clothes are made of silk from spiritual cotton trees or silk from spiritual silkworms? Spiritual silkworms don't eat ordinary mulberry leaves..."

"Talismans and magical instruments all require related spiritual plants..."

Everyone started arguing, and someone said, "For the sake of the people of the world, everyone should be like a dragon," but no one paid any attention.

The old Taoist ate the peach completely, leaving only the core.

He raised his hand to stop the argument.

"Chen Jing, you go ahead."

"what?"

"You want to achieve the holy way with spiritual plants. If I don't ask you, why not ask them?"

Everyone also looked at Chen Jing.

Chen Jing thought for a moment and said, "I think the way of spiritual plants is for efficiency."

"efficiency?"

I've never heard of this word.

"That is, within a certain period of time, using resources most efficiently to satisfy desires and needs is the way of spiritual plants."

This string of words is a bit confusing.

After Chen Jing finished speaking, he fell into silence, trying to understand the meaning of this sentence.

"Well said, it saves me from having to explain a lot more. No, your two words are better than what I was going to say."

The old Taoist smiled.

"Efficiency is the true meaning of magic. Spiritual plants grow by themselves, so why do we need to use magic to call the wind and rain? To comb the earth's veins? It's for efficiency. This is not only the way of spiritual plants, but also the way of the academy. Once you enter the academy, you must learn it to improve efficiency!"
