Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 465 Tian Ruo Fu Ping
Burial Sand Lake, with its gentle breeze and rippling waves, is home to twelve spirit pillars that emanate extraordinary power to nourish the waters. This set of spiritual artifacts was brought here by Jiang Chen.

Compared to the former Muyu Island, the conditions here are undoubtedly much better. After all, with the Nine Abyss Returning Flow Lamp, a low-grade treasure, as its foundation, the water elemental power is extremely abundant. However, it is a pity that the range of influence of the Fishing Spirit Pillar is limited and cannot cover the entire Burial Sand Lake.

At this moment, within the fishing grounds established based on the Fishing Spirit Pillar, cultivators are boating on the lake, raising fish, harvesting shellfish, and planting spiritual herbs, creating a lively scene. However, the Burial Sand Lake is vast, stretching for thousands of miles, so most of the water surface is still empty and has not yet been effectively developed.

"This is truly a wonderful place."

Walking barefoot by the lake, Old Huang sighed with genuine admiration at the sight. He was originally an ordinary person, but it was only because he met Jiang Chen that he was able to embark on the path of cultivation. Although he had now cultivated to the Qi Refining stage, he still had a heartfelt love for farming. What he loved most was seeing such a vibrant scene.

The only thing that he regrets is that many places in Zangsha Lake are still idle, with only some spirit fish being raised there, and they are not actually being used.

"The environment of Burial Sand Lake is special. This sea of ​​sand naturally carries a dry and hot atmosphere, which is one of the reasons for the harsh environment here. However, with the opening of the Spirit Lake, water vapor rises, and these two atmospheres are mixed together."

Standing by the lake, letting the water reach above his calves, and looking up at the sky, Old Huang saw the clouds constantly churning, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He was able to successfully and perfectly fuse with the demon skin and embark on the path of cultivation thanks to the help of the mutated spiritual rice, the Glowing Rice. This rice contained the secrets of water and fire, which made him more sensitive to such changes.

In the beginning, the water and fire elements of Zangsha Lake were not in balance, with one side always being higher and the other lower. The most obvious manifestation of this was the changeable weather. Now, however, the situation has stabilized, and the water and fire elements are approaching a delicate balance, as evidenced by the clear clouds.

"With the interplay of water and fire energies, this might be the best place to grow second-tier spiritual rice like the Glowing Rice."

At one point, snapping out of his reverie, Old Huang had a plan in mind.

After the birth of the mutated spirit rice, the Glowing Rice, he was ordered by Jiang Chen to focus on cultivating this spirit rice. However, this spirit rice was quite special. Not only was it difficult to cultivate, but its yield was also extremely low. In addition, his cultivation level was low at that time, so even if he tried his best, he could not change this situation.

Let alone truly popularizing this second-tier spirit rice, it wouldn't even be enough to feed Jiang Chen alone. However, he has now seen a turning point.

"Using duckweed and spiritual herbs as a base, combined with lake bottom silt, we can create a special spiritual field that can float on the spiritual lake. This might solve the problem of planting Radiant Rice."

A flash of inspiration struck Old Huang, and he began to consider all sorts of possibilities.

In the past, he tried many methods to solve the problem of planting the Radiant Rice, but due to this limitation, none of these methods worked. However, as his cultivation improved, especially after entering the Impermanence Sect, he was able to access a lot of knowledge that he had never been able to access before through the platform of the Impermanence Sect.

This gave his previously dead-end ideas a new lease on life, and the Floating Spirit Field was the most suitable method he had calculated.

"Let's first set up a test field to experiment. If it works, then we can promote it."

With the possibility of breaking through the long-standing predicament suddenly emerging, Lao Huang was filled with enthusiasm.

And so, after reporting it, Lao Huang immediately began building his first floating altar field in Zangsha Lake.

Upon learning this news, Hongyu immediately used her power to support Lao Huang. After all, Lao Huang and she were both veterans who had followed Jiang Chen, so she naturally wanted to treat them with more favor. Most importantly, she knew that Jiang Chen actually valued the Xia Guang Rice quite a bit, but he had gradually lost interest because he hadn't seen any results for a long time.

Now that a breakthrough is possible, she will naturally give her full support. Of course, there is another reason for this: she trusts Lao Huang. Lao Huang may not be very good at fighting, but he is definitely first-class in farming. Although Lao Huang's cultivation level is only Qi Refining, his expertise in planting spiritual plants has definitely reached the second level.

Even because of his special abilities, ordinary second-tier spirit plant cultivators are no match for him.

With Hongyu's support, Lao Huang's plan to create the Floating Duckweed Spirit Field went very smoothly. In just half a month, the first Floating Duckweed Spirit Field appeared on Burial Sand Lake. It was ten zhang long and three zhang wide, floating on the lake surface like a green carpet, which was particularly eye-catching.

"It's done."

Covered in sweat, feeling the ceaseless flow of spiritual energy within the floating duckweed spiritual field, Old Huang was filled with joy.

At this moment, the power within him surged, unconsciously manifesting some characteristics of the Azure Deer. However, compared to ordinary Azure Deer, his Azure Deer characteristics were subtly different.

"Water and wood grow together..."

With a bluish light in his eyes, Old Huang saw all the changes within the floating spirit field and was momentarily lost in thought. At that moment, he seemed to have realized something.

At the moment when the Floating Spirit Field truly took shape, the spiritual energy of water and fire was activated, and in the deepest part of the Burial Sand Lake, Jiang Chen quietly opened his eyes.

"Floating Duckweed Spirit Field, that's a good idea."

As his divine sense spread and locked onto the floating spirit field, a strange light flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

"The transformation of water and wood energies, endlessly generating life, is the true essence of the Floating Duckweed Spirit Field. Compared to ordinary spirit fields, this kind of spirit field is purer, cleaner, and less susceptible to the influence of other factors."

After a moment's thought, Jiang Chen saw through the true nature of the Floating Duckweed Spirit Field.

“The land in the Western Regions is different. Although Lanque Mountain has successfully opened up many ordinary spirit fields with the help of the great formation, as time goes by, the possibility of these spirit fields having problems will become greater and greater. Among the same level, the output of these spirit fields is basically more than 30% lower than that of the Central Region.”

"But these floating spirit fields are different. With the help of the Burial Sand Lake, they can get rid of the land restrictions of the Western Regions to the greatest extent. The only drawback is that some spirit plants are not suitable for planting on the floating spirit fields, especially spirit plants with metal and earth attributes."

As the thought crossed his mind, Jiang Chen conceived the idea of ​​expanding the Floating Duckweed Spiritual Field. Although the Floating Duckweed Spiritual Field had some limitations, overall, the benefits far outweighed the drawbacks.

"Old Huang's talent in farming is indeed extraordinary. Coupled with his unique qualities, he may be the person with the greatest potential under my command, even surpassing Du Zhong who possesses the Stubborn Stone Body."

Jiang Chen shifted his gaze and landed on Old Huang, who was lost in thought.
