Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 4: The Spirit of Green Buds (New Book, Please Collect!)
"Gengjin Kusanagi Sword, go!"

The sharp sword energy flew out and hit a small yellowish snake accurately, causing a sharp scream. It barely broke its skin and flesh, chopping it half to death.

"Good fight!"

Slowly withdrawing his hand, Li Ye looked up in the direction of the voice and saw Zhang Liangfu standing on the ridge of the field with an envious look on his face.

He pointed at the half-broken snake and laughed.

"If the gallbladder of this earth-born snake is intact, it can be sold for at least two or three spirit crystals. Junior brother, you've made a profit!"

The big man sighed with some regret as he said this.
"Old Zhang, I'm pretty good at getting rid of insects, so why doesn't this thing go to my place?"

"Junior brother, I've recently been breaking a Spirit Crystal into two pieces to replenish my energy and heal my wounds. This Earth-Born Snake has arrived just in time!"

Li Ye groaned in pain, but his movements were not slow at all. He walked a few steps closer to the little snake and put it away. He smiled again and said,

"The vitality and spiritual energy of the spiritual seedlings in the fields are growing. Various low-level spiritual insects will inevitably emerge in the future. Brother, are you still afraid that you won't have a chance?"

"That's true. In a while, I'm afraid we'll have to defend these few acres of land desperately, for fear that they will be ruined by those little things!"

In this regard, Zhang Liangfu is more experienced than Li Ye.

He nodded in agreement, but didn't dwell on the snakes. He turned around and continued to work on his own things.

Even a ground snake worth only two or three spirit crystals can arouse envy.

Low-level spiritual farming disciples are so miserable!
And what’s even more frustrating is… I’ve already integrated into it and there’s no sense of disobedience at all!

Li Ye calmly withdrew his gaze, thinking with some sadness.

Now another period of time has passed, and it has been almost a month since Li Ye traveled to this world.

Compared to before, his complexion has improved a lot, with more color, and he no longer looks pale and weak like a sickly person.

The price he paid was the only three low-grade spirit stones he had on hand, two of which he exchanged for spirit rice and ate.

Apart from that, there are still a few scattered spirit crystals left, which cannot even be enough to collect ten to equal a low-grade spirit stone!

However, correspondingly, with the nourishment of spiritual rice, Li Ye has made great progress in his control of magic power and is not far from completely mastering his cultivation.

As a result, my injuries have improved slightly and I feel much better.

Finally the spirit stones were not wasted!
Although the money was spent in the right place, Li Ye's already meager fortune was about to run out.

This made him more focused on taking care of the spiritual field.

As his injury has not healed yet, Li Ye has no intention of taking on other tasks to go out and earn contributions.

The only source of income from now on is these five acres of spiritual land.

As long as he waits for the harvest, he will be able to make ends meet.

It’s not just about healing, but also about having the money to consider getting involved in some cultivation arts to enrich your income source!
This first pot of gold must be taken care of with the utmost care!

After carefully caring for a patch of seedlings, Li Ye moved on to the next area as usual.

I saw a seedling that was growing well and had the most vigorous vitality swaying slightly, and a faint glow emerged.

Then a new prompt appeared in his eyes!

You skillfully cared for the first-level spiritual plant [Green Bud Rice], causing it to thrive. Experience +0.1...
[......]
[The first-level spiritual plant [Green Bud Rice] grows stronger, and you gain [Green Bud Spiritual Essence] (1%)...]
The spiritual essence of green buds!

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Ye's eyes.

Sure enough!

Just as he had guessed before—

The experience points fed back by the spiritual plants are not just given once. As he cultivates the spiritual plants to a better state, he will get feedback again!
And the [Spirit of Plants and Trees] will most likely appear at this time!
Li Ye glanced at the words [Green Bud Spiritual Essence] (1%) on the panel, but did not get any more information from it.

He didn't even know what this thing was used for!

But he was still quite excited.

"One percent..."

Li Ye looked at the words on the panel and pondered for a moment.

"Over the past few days, the spiritual seedlings have been growing better and better, and there are many that are as vigorous and strong as this one..."

"After combing through the entire spiritual field today, obtaining a complete [Emerald Bud Spiritual Essence] shouldn't be a problem!"

Li Ye had just finished recuperating and regulating his breathing, and his physical and mental strength were at their peak. At this moment, he received such encouragement.

With curiosity burning in his heart, he immediately devoted himself to taking care of the next patch of spiritual seedlings.

……

[The first-level spiritual plant [Green Bud Rice] grows stronger, and you gain [Green Bud Spiritual Essence] (1%)...]
"call……"

After taking care of the last spiritual field, Li Ye was almost too tired to straighten his back.

He took a long breath, and his magic power circulated in his body, making his qi and blood more active. This relieved a lot and he stood firmly.

He then used a hand gesture to perform a cleansing technique, sweeping away the semi-dried dirt that had condensed on his body and regaining his freshness.

After doing all this, Li Ye said goodbye to Zhang Liangfu and others as usual and returned to his residence.

Close the stone door and activate the restriction which is better than nothing.

Finally I was left alone.

Li Ye couldn't help but show some excitement on his face, and immediately opened the panel.

【Green Bud Spirit】1 (14%)

The harvest from a day's hard work successfully helped him accumulate the first green bud spiritual essence!
While focusing his attention on it, Li Ye naturally understood the function of this thing.

The mind moved slightly, touching the corresponding words on the panel.

Swah——

A wisp of emerald green essence appeared in front of Li Ye, with bits of spiritual light rippling around, and it seemed as if there were subtle runes looming.

The vague shape of a mature green rice seedling appeared in the essence.

At the same time, a faint fragrance of rice wafted from this closed and simple house!
After looking at it carefully for a few times, Li Ye suddenly opened his mouth and sucked, and the green bud spiritual essence immediately entered his mouth.

Gentle spiritual energy spread throughout the body, and magical power surged in.

Li Ye's expression changed slightly, and he was a little surprised.

The spiritual energy of this Cuiya spiritual energy is exactly the same as the Cuiya rice he purchased before.

But in terms of purity, it is far superior!
He only needed to roll up his magic power and was able to refine and absorb some of the essence without any effort.

The refining process is almost unimpeded, as if it has no impurities at all!

In less than a cup of tea, Li Ye completed the entire refining of the green bud spiritual essence.

Slowly gathering his magical power, he opened his eyes, his eyes full of surprise.

Li Ye felt it carefully.

The spiritual power contained in a bowl of green sprout spiritual essence is roughly the same as that contained in a meal of green sprout rice without ordinary rice.

Although the benefit is not much at one time.

But because it is purer and contains almost no impurities, it can improve your magic power without affecting its purity.

Compared to taking elixirs and having to worry about elixirs, there are no side effects at all!
Just by refining this one, Li Ye felt that his magical energy had been refined a bit and there was a difference.

The magic power that was still stagnant began to flow a little more smoothly.

The effect is magical!

"However, the function of the spiritual essence of plants and trees should not be limited to direct refining..."

Li Ye's thoughts diverged, and based on his limited knowledge of elixirs, he came up with a possibility.

"Since the spiritual essence of plants and trees has the same properties as the spiritual plants they come from, and is extremely pure, can it be used directly for refining medicine?"

"Compared to refining the corresponding medicinal power from spiritual plants and herbs to make medicine, the effect of this plant spirit essence seems to be no different..."

"Even considering its pure properties, the effect might be even better... perhaps even reducing the presence of erysipelas to a minimum in terms of materials?"

"And by analogy, any similar situation in other cultivation arts can also be tried in this way..."

Thinking of this, Li Ye came up with more ideas.

He looked at the note with the word "Pill" on the panel, and his heart couldn't help but get hot.
