Chapter 126 This area, spanning thousands of miles, has been turned into a barren wasteland.
"Okay," Jian Ning replied, taking a few steps closer to take a look.

Although not all of the soybeans in this large field have withered, they are already showing signs of starting to die.

The most severely affected plants had leaves that were so dry that they looked as if they had been exposed to the sun when Jian Ning squeezed them, making a crisp cracking sound.

That's how plants are; they won't all die at once.

When a person is feeling unwell, some symptoms will appear, more or less.

If the problem is detected and addressed in time, the plant can still be saved.

For example, strawberries are not tolerant of fertilizer. If fertilizer burn occurs, the edges of the green leaves will turn discolored. In this case, immediately changing the soil and watering will solve the problem.

Jian Ning only needed to glance at the soybeans to understand the general problem, and she immediately thought of a solution.

Just then, the system's red subtitles popped up again.

[You have discovered that the Jiang Clan's spiritual fields have been severely damaged by the 'Spirit-Devouring Bone-Corroding Powder,' and now a million 'Golden Armor Bean Soldiers' are on the verge of death. Within seven days, this entire area of ​​a thousand miles will be reduced to barren land! Although you are merely a lowly spiritual farmer, how could you harbor such lofty ambitions?]

Jian Ning: "..."

This is clearly Professor Jiang's experimental site. It's likely that some unscrupulous person has drugged it. If it's not dealt with, the soybeans will all die in a few days.

The cultivation system didn't care what she was thinking, just as Jian Ning never used normal logic to think about what the system was saying, and quietly watched it perform.

[Mission triggered!]

[Task: Purify the Netherworld.]

[Reward: 10 Silver Spirit Pills]

Based on the characteristics of the task card bug, it should be fine to treat this problematic soybean field as the so-called Nine Netherworld Wasteland.

Jian Ning's first reaction upon seeing the reward was that it looked familiar.

I think I saw this in the book "Alchemy from Beginner to Expert".

Thanks to her previous diligent study, she remembered it in just a few seconds.

The Silver Spirit Pill is an even more powerful pill than the Spirit Gathering Pill. It is suitable for the Qi Refining stage and can significantly increase one's power, helping cultivators break through their current cultivation level.

Jian Ning had long suffered from a lack of spiritual energy, and no matter how diligently he worked, his cultivation level just wouldn't improve.

The second level of Qi Refining is, to put it nicely, cultivating immortality; to put it bluntly, it simply means having a stronger physique than an ordinary person and being able to cast some simple spells.

If you really encounter a particularly powerful person, even her Dream Sutra won't work on anyone with a firm mind.

Sometimes she feels like an inflatable tiger, good at intimidating people, but her confidence is inconsistent.

If you exert too much force, you will deplete your spiritual energy, causing dizziness, headaches, and even weakness the next day.

It's all because of insufficient cultivation that we created these sins.

That night, when the factory caught fire, she was able to summon wind and rain, which she herself found somewhat shocking when she thought back on it.

Perhaps it is only when people are in dire straits that they are forced to unleash a potential beyond their cultivation level.

It was that opportunity that day that allowed her to vaguely sense that she was about to break through to the third level of the Qi Refining stage.

If she had the Spirit Gathering Pill as a reward, wouldn't it be like adding wings to a tiger to enhance her cultivation?

Professor Jiang, seeing Jian Ning's happy expression, asked, "How did it go, Ningning? Did you find the problem and the solution?"

"Mmm." Jian Ning responded, slightly suppressing her excitement, and nodded.

There's nothing that a couple more ladles of water from the artificial lake in her manor can't solve; if there is, ten ladles will definitely be enough. Besides natural rainfall, that artificial lake mostly receives rainwater from her magical manipulation of clouds and rain.

In addition, under the influence of the spirit-gathering array, the water inside was infused with a slight amount of spiritual energy. Moreover, there were fish in it, so the water not only purified the soil but also had a fertilizing effect.

Jian Ning cut to the chase and got straight to the point: "Professor Jiang, there seems to be something wrong with your soil. Could you investigate what might be the problem? The solution is quite simple..."

Jian Ning frowned slightly halfway through her sentence, keenly realizing that something was wrong.

After cultivating immortality, her hearing improved, and she noticed that the breathing of people around her suddenly became rapid, and their hearts were pounding very fast!
This is clearly a symptom of panic.

Jian Ning subconsciously turned her head to look and saw a boy wearing black-rimmed glasses. He was a bit dark-skinned and short, less than 1.6 meters tall. Everyone else was looking at her intently as she spoke, but his eyes were glancing at the soybean field.

Realizing that her voice had stopped, the short, dark-skinned boy looked over and met Jian Ning's gaze. He instinctively shrank back a little.

Because of his strangeness, Jian Ning glanced at him a few more times before turning back to Professor Jiang and saying, "This problem can be solved. Let Ayou connect with me."

Professor Jiang's eyes lit up with a mixture of surprise and disbelief when he heard that the problem could be solved. "Ningning, you've only glanced at it a few times... Are you sure it can really be solved? Should we take another look at our recorded data and the test reports?"

Professor Jiang did not think that Jian Ning was exaggerating.

Everyone has been studying the soybeans in the field these past few days, trying their best to save them. Some have even stayed buried in the ground for days without eating or drinking, but all their efforts have ended in failure.

Jian Ning just glanced over and said the solution was simple.

The word "simple"...

Who wouldn't be shocked if this reached their ears?!

Those figures were astronomical for Jian Ning; she couldn't comprehend them.

Jian Ning waved her hand, not wanting to waste time, and said, "No need. Although I can't say I'm 100% sure of my solution, I'm about 60-70% sure. Let's give it a try."

"Alright, alright." Professor Jiang's worried expression finally eased a bit, and then he instructed Jiang You, "Ayou, I'll leave this matter to you."

Jiang You replied earnestly, "Okay, teacher."

After inspecting the soybean field, Jian Ning, accompanied by Jiang You, toured the entire experimental base.

It's quite remarkable that such a large piece of land still exists in the northern part of the city.

Jian Ning thought this in her heart, and then said it aloud.

"Professor Jiang is really amazing. The country allocated such a large piece of land to him for his experimental base in Beicheng Lane."

Jiang You nodded after listening, "The teacher studied agronomy in college and later went abroad for further studies. Don't underestimate him just because he looks ordinary and dresses simply. In fact, it's no exaggeration to say that he is a pioneer in the field of agronomy in our country."

“Hmm.” Jian Ning had never looked down on Professor Jiang; in fact, she even admired him a little.

Interactions between people involve energy fluctuations.

A positive, high-energy person will unconsciously transmit their power to those around them.

Jian Ning had this feeling about Professor Jiang.

"Oh, right." Jian Ning suddenly remembered the short, dark-skinned boy and asked Jiang You, "Among the students behind Professor Jiang just now, there was a boy who was relatively short and had darker skin. Who is he? Can you tell me about him?"

If Jian Ning had said the name, Jiang You might not have known. But after hearing Jian Ning's description, she immediately knew who it was.

"You mean that person? His name is Zhang Yao. When he first entered the experimental base, he scored exceptionally well on the written test, but his interview score was very low, and he was rejected. Later, he went to the teacher to plead for him, and the teacher gave him another chance, which is how he got in."

Jian Ning then asked, "What kind of person is he usually?"
