My cultivation is too warm

Chapter 8 Spirit Rice
Sanyuan Zhenren did not speak directly, but asked Xu Mo:
"Do you know what spiritual plant Elder Ouyang is cultivating?"

Xu Mo was slightly stunned and replied: "Satiating fruit."

"Do you know what the satiety fruit is used for?"

Xu Mo hesitated a little, although he had been helping Elder Ouyang.

But our understanding of the new varieties cultivated by Elder Ouyang is only superficial.

He didn't know much specific information.

Elder Ouyang didn't tell him, so he didn't ask any more questions.

So he replied in an uncertain tone: "Anti-starvation?"

In fact, when Xu Mo first heard Elder Ouyang talk about cultivating a new spiritual plant called the Full Belly Fruit, he felt a little confused.

After all, people who practice cultivation, even those in the Qi Refining stage, can already practice fasting for a short period of time.

After reaching a certain level of cultivation, one can even practice long-term fasting.

If that’s the case, what’s the point of something like the satiety fruit?
At that time, he just thought it was Elder Ouyang's personal preference.

After all, people who do scientific research think differently from ordinary people, so it is normal to have some special hobbies.

So I didn't think much about it.

But now, listening to what Sanyuan Zhenren said, it seems that there is another hidden story?
Sanyuan Zhenren nodded, then shook his head, "It's normal for you to understand it this way.

This satiety fruit was just a name given by Elder Ouyang himself.

In fact, it originally had another name that you should be particularly familiar with, called "Spiritual Rice."

"Spiritual rice?" Xu Mo exclaimed in surprise.

Sanyuan Zhenren nodded and said, "In Elder Ouyang's expectation, a fruit tree is full of fruits.

Pick the fruit and open it, and you will find not flesh but plump grains of spiritual rice inside.

So he called it the satiety fruit.

Now you can guess what he's going to do, right?"

Xu Mo frowned and thought for a moment, "Increase production?"

After saying that, his frown deepened, "But why?"

Sanyuan Zhenren looked at him and said with a smile, "Can't figure it out?"

Xu Mo nodded.

Sanyuan Zhenren suddenly said in a serious tone: "My Canggu Continent is vast and rich in resources.

But there is only one thing that is defined as the most core strategic material by all the major sects, and that is spiritual rice."

Xu Mo was surprised.

Then he looked at Sanyuan Zhenren quietly, waiting for his explanation.

Sanyuan Zhenren did not play dumb and spoke slowly:
"Spiritual rice is a common thing, and it can be said to be the most common spiritual item in the entire cultivation world.

Lingmi is easily absorbed and has no side effects.

It can help those who have just started practicing to improve quickly; it can also help those who have reached a higher level to maintain their state;
It can also help injured people recover quickly;
It can even be used to restore spiritual energy to assist in combat in an emergency.

Moreover, the recovery effect brought by eating spiritual rice is comprehensive.

It can bring good recovery effects both physically and mentally.

It can be said that spiritual rice is a rare spiritual item in the cultivation world that is universally applicable to cultivators of all realms."

“And these are just the effects of spiritual rice; the more important thing is its strategic significance.

Research has shown that using spiritual rice to cultivate monks is the most cost-effective, especially in helping mortals break through to become monks.

There is no magic elixir that can compare with magic rice.

It is the most suitable auxiliary spiritual object.

It can be said that as long as there is enough spiritual rice, it can be used to quickly cultivate a large number of monks.

More importantly, during wartime, spiritual rice is the most important supply on the front lines."

When Xu Mo heard this, a look of confusion appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Sanyuan Zhenren smiled dumbly, shook his head, and sighed:

"Isn't that hard to understand?"

Xu Mo was indeed confused and nodded honestly.

Sanyuan Zhenren didn't say much, but explained:
"This is normal. For ordinary practitioners, taking elixirs during battle is just the same thing.

But that is limited to combat, but war is different.

Every war is brutal and protracted.

On the battlefield, elixirs can only provide a temporary solution, but cannot resolve long-term difficulties."

Xu Mo subconsciously asked, "Why?"

Sanyuan Zhenren explained: "All medicines are poisonous. If a cultivator takes elixirs for a long time, it will affect his foundation, making it difficult to make any progress in subsequent cultivation. On this point, I remember that Taisu Daozun, the former master of Danji Sect, the first alchemy sect in Canggu Continent, once put forward a point of view:
He believed that the reason why elixirs were poisonous was because the art of alchemy was itself a kind of great way of heaven and earth.

Taking elixirs is to use one way to enhance another way, which is equivalent to fighting poison with poison.

Well, this is still too far away for you.

Closer to home.

In short, on the battlefield, taking elixirs for a long time is definitely not a good idea. Not only will it not help with recovery, it may sometimes even cause injuries to yourself.

Moreover, the recovery effect of the elixir is more on the physical and mental side, but it cannot restore the deeper spiritual level.

After all, a long and tense war will cause people to have negative emotions psychologically, and few elixirs can help recover from this.

Eating spiritual rice can not only restore a person's body and mind, but also bring spiritual satisfaction.

There is a saying that goes, food is the most important thing for people, and it is ingrained in our bones.

More importantly, if you want to eliminate erysipelas, the simplest and most direct way is to eat a lot of spiritual rice.

Do you understand now?"

Xu Mo nodded thoughtfully.

Sanyuan Zhenren continued:
"Whether it's used to train large numbers of monks or for its role on the battlefield, spiritual rice has become an irreplaceable strategic resource.

But what really made the major sects realize this was the great war with the demons a thousand years ago."

“That was the most frustrating battle I, a Cang Gu cultivator, had ever fought.

It is obvious that our strength is far superior to that of the demons, but the results of the battle are hard to describe. Many monks from various sects died in that war.

Among them are Elder Ouyang’s relatives.

His fellow Taoists, disciples, and other relatives, except for a young grandson, all died."

"The shameless demons first pretended to invade en masse in order to hold back our main force.

Then they sent various soldiers to attack the young disciples of various sects, leaving our manpower exhausted from the rescue work.

Finally, they sent a large number of insect demons to eat the spiritual fields where we grew spiritual rice.

At that time, we needed to have enough manpower to protect the younger generation of disciples.

Moreover, those insect demons only ate the spiritual rice and rarely destroyed other spiritual objects, so we didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, it was just 'a little spiritual rice'.

But when the demons deliberately delayed the war and brought it to a stalemate, we realized we had fallen into a trap.

Unable to use spiritual rice for a long time, relying on elixirs for recovery.

Our people were exhausted physically and mentally, and had accumulated a lot of hidden injuries from erysipelas, so their condition was extremely bad.

Basically, only 70% to 80% of the full combat power can be exerted.

It was only after this battle that we realized the importance of spiritual rice.

I want to increase the production of spiritual rice.

However, the output of spiritual rice in the cultivation world is basically fixed.

After all, although spiritual rice is important, it does not mean that other spiritual objects are not important.

There are only so many spiritual fields, we can't plant spiritual rice in all of them, right?
The cultivation technology of spiritual rice has been passed down since ancient times. After a long period of development, it has long reached its peak."

“Therefore, spiritual plant masters like Elder Ouyang would think of cultivating a new variety of spiritual rice with high yield.

The satiety fruit is what Elder Ouyang envisioned.

In fact, Elder Ouyang has experimented many times with the cultivation of new varieties of spiritual rice.

But so far, there has been no progress.

He's interested in you, and I think he saw your talent as a spiritual plant master."

Xu Mo nodded with mixed feelings. He originally thought that Elder Ouyang's satiety fruit was just because of his solitary personality.

But I didn't expect that there was such a secret.

However, Elder Ouyang's idea of ​​letting spiritual rice grow on fruit trees is really bold.

In theory, this idea doesn't work.

But this is a world of cultivating immortals after all, and perhaps Elder Ouyang can really do it.

Xu Mo did not jump to conclusions about this.

But compared to Elder Ouyang’s fantastic ideas, he felt that the rice yield-increasing technologies he had developed on Earth in his previous life would be closer to success?
Then perhaps I can really help Elder Ouyang realize his wish?

But he quickly shook his head and said it was not appropriate at the moment.

Let’s see later.

Just as I was thinking about it, the voice of Sanyuan Zhenren came to my ears: "We're here."

　There is a book club, everyone can join it.
