Cultivation begins with planting techniques

"Hey! Junior Brother Li, you're here so early?"

Looking at the young man in front of him, Xia Fansong showed surprise.

Although he did not know Li Ye's origins, at this time, it was almost impossible for a new disciple of this age and cultivation level to enter the sect without some background, based on his many years of experience in the sect.

Maybe there was some movement in the sect, so he came to this spiritual medicine garden specifically to avoid disaster temporarily.

When the time is up, he will leave and take over the good jobs in the sect.

Naturally, it is impossible for me to pay much attention to the matter of taking care of spiritual plants.

It's good enough that he can come here for show, but he doesn't believe that he will really fulfill the duties of a spiritual farmer wholeheartedly.

So when Li Ye was assigned to him by Deacon Pan, he was mentally prepared and had his own way of dealing with it.

He didn't ask Li Ye to remember him well after he left. It would be good enough if this kid could become successful in the future and stop holding a grudge against him, a small farmer in the medicine garden!

However, such psychological construction and preparation immediately went astray when Li Ye arrived early and even had a very humble attitude.

"Junior brother, I also want to fulfill my duties as soon as possible and truly become a part of the sect..."

Li Ye said this with a smile, ignoring the old farmer's surprise.

After hearing this, not only Xia Fansong, but also the other spiritual farmers who were quietly paying attention to this side had some strange expressions.

So sincere, could it be that this boy really came here to be a spiritual farmer?
Or, did some elder or deacon have the bad taste to give this kid some special test, so that he can just farm?

For a moment, some people's thoughts were scattered.

But no matter how they guessed, due to Li Ye's strange choice, no one really considered that Li Ye had no background.

Although he had various thoughts in his mind, Xia Fansong did not hesitate any longer and said with a smile:

"Junior Brother Li, you've achieved such a high level of cultivation at such a young age. You're truly diligent... Then follow me. I'll arrange the spiritual plants you need to care for."

The middle-aged farmer carried the bamboo basket on his back and walked out with Li Ye.

Although everyone is a spiritual farmer taking care of spiritual fields, the types of spiritual plants they are responsible for and the degree of fatigue brought about by the size of the spiritual fields are naturally different.

Even if the deacon is relatively fair, he will give different contribution rewards on top of the basic contribution points based on the spiritual plants submitted by each disciple.

But there are indeed many tricks involved.

Li Ye has reached the fifth level of Ju Yuan at a young age. Even if he is gifted, he has probably devoted most of his time to cultivation since he entered the Tao.

Most of them have never done this kind of farm work before.

Then we can only assign him some simple tasks, and the area of spiritual fields cannot be too large.

Otherwise, if I tire him out and delay his daily practice, I'm afraid he will still come to complain to me.

Soon, they came to a relatively marginal place, away from the spiritual fields cultivated by other spiritual farmers.

Xia Fansong put down the bamboo basket and pointed to the spiritual field in front of him and introduced it to Li Ye:
"Junior Brother Li, you see, the spiritual fields in this area have only recently been cultivated. Although it's a bit far from other fellow disciples, it's quite quiet..."

"Since you've just arrived at the Spiritual Medicine Garden and aren't familiar with the various tasks, I'll start by teaching you how to care for the purple amber grass. The number of spiritual fields you'll be responsible for will also be smaller, so you won't be overworked and will have enough time to adapt..."

As he spoke, he observed the expression on Li Ye's face.

He discovered that the young man not only showed no resistance, but was smiling, and even had a look of eagerness that he was not quite sure about.

I couldn't help but be stunned, and even began to doubt my judgment.

However, he did not stop, but took out some seedlings directly from the basket.

When he arrived at the field, he demonstrated to Li Ye the cultivation methods and tips of purple amber grass. What he didn't expect was that Li Ye also rolled up his trouser legs without any hesitation and went to the field.

She let the mud cover her feet, came to his side and watched his movements and explanations carefully without any impatience.

Perhaps it was because Li Ye had given him too many surprises today, almost overturning his previous guess, Xia Fansong did not stop explaining, but instead spoke in more detail.

After finishing his explanation, he raised his head and asked:

"Junior Brother Li, am I understanding?"

"Brother, you explained it clearly. I know how to cook the purple amber grass..."

Li Ye nodded. "Actually, I also have some basic knowledge of spiritual plant techniques. Brother, don't worry that I won't be able to complete the responsibilities I've taken on."

In fact, when he was in the market, he relied on the wealth of the evil old man and the proceeds from selling spiritual wood to buy a lot of classics.

Most of them are records of the various customs and features of this world, but there are also some inherited skills.

Their main function is to serve as a reference and comparison so that Li Ye can adapt his various skills to the needs of this world as quickly as possible.

The art of spiritual plants is naturally indispensable.

Fortunately, apart from the need to deal with the turbid air in alchemy and refining, and the more difficult handling of impurities in elixirs, the techniques of spiritual plants are not much different.

Not to mention Li Ye's current level of spiritual plant skills, even if he encounters an unfamiliar spiritual plant, he only needs to observe it for a while to understand its characteristics and care methods.

He had seen the introduction of this purple amber grass in the inheritance of spiritual plant techniques, so it was naturally not difficult for him.

The reason why he did not refuse Xia Fansong's introduction was that he had other questions to ask.

"Oh? That's good..."

Xia Fansong was a little stunned, and wanted to ask Li Ye to plant two trees for him to see first, so that he wouldn't just show off his power verbally and come to trouble him again in the end.

But before he could even open his mouth, Li Ye went to get the seedlings himself and planted them along the way according to his arrangement.

The whole process was smooth and flowing, without any strangeness or sluggishness. Although he was just planting purple amber grass, Xia Fansong inexplicably had the illusion that he had glimpsed an art.

For a moment, he could even see some techniques in Li Ye's movements that even he had not yet understood.

"This……"

He couldn't help but be stunned, his mouth slightly open but he didn't know what to say for a long time.

Li Ye didn't care about that.

I quickly planted a few plants as a demonstration to get rid of the slight discomfort in my mind about the lack of simultaneous pop-up panel prompts.

Fortunately, although there was no panel prompt, the vitality of the purple amber grass was fully renewed, and the feedback to his plant vitality actually gave his Holy Tree Rune a slight improvement.

That’s pretty good too!

He walked back to Xia Fansong. The middle-aged farmer looked at his young face and couldn't help but wonder in his heart if this kid had been taking care of spiritual plants since he was in his mother's womb?

But Xia Fansong still had a look of admiration on his face, "Junior brother, you are truly a master of hidden talents. Even I am ashamed of my skills!"

"Brother, you are too kind..."

Li Ye smiled, but then asked a question that made the other party's heart skip a beat.

"Speaking of which, Senior Brother just mentioned that this spiritual field was recently cultivated... I wonder if there are any restrictions on cultivation in this spiritual medicine garden? If there are other areas that are not suitable for farming, can they be used to grow other plants?" (End of this chapter)
