Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 78 Mutual Aid Society Gathering [Seeking First Subscription]

Ji Yuan glanced at the panel.

[Spirit Field: LV2 (Not Achieved)]

[Effects: Automatically repels pests; reduces crop growth cycle by 40%; 20% chance of harvesting double crops; increases the spiritual energy contained in the yield.]

[Upgrade Requirements: 60 Low-grade Spirit Stones, 15 Dark Stones, 3 Pots of Spirit Spring Essence. (Not yet achieved)]

A level 1 spirit field can shorten the growth cycle by 30%, while a level 2 spirit field can shorten it by 40%.

If this continues, will level 3 be shortened by 50%?

If we calculate it this way, crops that originally took a thousand years to mature can mature in 500 years in one's own spiritual field.

A level 1 spirit field produces a small amount of wood-based spiritual energy, but a level 2 spirit field produces an increased amount of spiritual energy.

This means that the output is no longer "particularly specialized" but has turned into "all-rounder".

Compared to a level 1 spirit field, a level 2 spirit field also has an automatic insect repellent effect.

【Spirit Field】This thing is extremely prone to insects, and it also easily attracts insects.

Ji Yuan was aware of this, and it was precisely because of this that the profession of "Pest Exterminator," which specializes in removing pests from spirit fields, even emerged.

They possessed basic knowledge of the "Gengjin Sword Technique" and, relying on their skilled pest control techniques, specialized in eliminating pests in other spiritual fields.

You might need to remove pests from your level 1 spirit field, but you won't need to from level 2.

What also appealed to Ji Yuan was the special effect of harvesting double crops.

One life two.

What if I planted spiritual herbs in this spiritual field myself?

Farming doesn't make money, but growing medicinal herbs is much more profitable.

No, if it's a spiritual herb, it should be possible to cultivate a separate [herb field]... With this thought in mind, Ji Yuan looked at the spiritual field and then at the words floating above.

He turned around and went back into the house, where he wrote the words "medicine field" on a piece of white paper and placed it on top.

[Lingtian] remains unchanged.

Ji Yuan tried replacing the white paper with a wooden sign, but there was still no response. Undeterred, he went to the Wen family to borrow a medicinal herb.

Wen Lin was an alchemist, so he naturally had no shortage of medicinal herbs.

But even at the end, the [spiritual field] remained unchanged.

Ji Yuan had no choice but to give up.

Therefore, it seems that the [Medicine Field] should be merged into this [Spirit Field].

After all, the words used in this spiritual efficacy report are "output" and "crops".

Spirit rice and spirit plants are crops, so spirit medicines can naturally be considered crops as well.

That's good, it saves me from having to spend more spirit stones to upgrade.

After finishing this matter, Ji Yuan went back to continue his cultivation.

"..."

The next morning.

Before dawn, Wu Wenbin, dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, arrived at shop number 18 in Zengtou City with Wu Yan, who was also dressed in fine clothes.

The door here is never locked, but no one dares to trespass in the early morning.

Maybe, but once you come, you never see them again.

Wu Wenbin and Wu Yan pushed open the door and entered. Apart from a dozen or so bamboo chairs scattered around, there was nothing else in the large living room.

The two of them first found a place to sit down.

Wu Yan couldn't hide his joy. "Dad, do you think everyone from the mutual aid society will be able to come today?"

"Are you all here?"

Wu Wenbin chuckled and said, "You really think they have nothing to do of their own, and that they live only to come and congratulate you, right?"

"this……"

Wu Yan's expression turned slightly grim, and he asked instead, "So, how many do you estimate will come?"

Wu Wenbin glanced around the room and said, "It would be good if all these chairs could be filled."

"By the way, Dad, I heard that Yao Jingfeng and Du Wanyi both came this time?"

Wu Yan knew the names of these two people.

The Water Dragon Sect just held its selection process this year, and all the powerful Cloud Rain Marsh cultivators have already joined the Water Dragon Sect.

Among the remaining late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, Yao Jingfeng and Du Wanyi were among the strongest.

In particular, many people initially thought that Yao Jingfeng and another cultivator named Luo Tian would join the Water Dragon Sect this year.

Unexpectedly, they did not participate in the selection this year, but will have to wait until the next selection in three years.

"Um."

When this was mentioned, Wu Wenbin's face lit up with a smile.

Why are Yao Jingfeng and Du Wanyi coming? Whose sake are they here for?

Could it be him, Wu Yan?

It must be Wu Wenbin.

Yao and Du were both at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and so was Wu Wenbin.

Not only that, Wu Wenbin is also a talisman master... everyone has to give him face.

"By the way, Dad, I heard that when they came yesterday, they stopped by the lake for a while, it seems they went to see someone. There are rumors outside that besides me, someone else in Zengtou City has broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining."

Wu Yan asked tentatively.

"Heh, this is late-stage Qi Refining, not the spirit pig sold in the market."

Wu Wenbin chuckled.

"That's true." Wu Yan nodded in agreement.

In the past, if a market town produced one or two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators in a year, that would be considered an excellent year.

As the two were talking, the doorway suddenly went dark, and two people walked in from outside.

The Wu father and son looked up, and Wu Yan immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Brother Du, Sister Hu, it's been a long time."

The visitors were also late-stage Qi Refining cultivators from Zengtou City: Du Kang and Hu Fang.

Like Wu Yan, both of them were at the seventh level of Qi Refining, so they did not participate in this year's Water Dragon Sect selection.

Congratulations, Brother Wu!

Du Kang and Hu Fang returned the greeting, then turned to Wu Wenbin and said, "Greetings, Master Wu."

You're too kind.

Just as the two of them found a place to sit down, a middle-aged man who smelled of fish walked in. He was wearing hemp clothing, shirtless, and his face, marked by a scar, looked somewhat ferocious.

Zhu Shen, a cultivator from Tai'anfang, is also a Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator who spends most of his time traveling through the Yunyu Marsh.

As soon as he arrived, Wu Wenbin stood up with a smile.

Zhu Shen nodded, not even glancing at Wu Yan, but simply scanning the room. "Hasn't that old scoundrel Luo Tian arrived yet?"

"Will Luo Tian come too?"

Now it was Wu Wenbin's turn to be surprised.

Luo Tian... it is said that he is about to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining. Among the remaining cultivators in Yun Yuze, he should be the strongest as long as Old Blind Qin does not make a move.

At least that's how it appears on the surface.

Wu Wenbin had never spoken to him before, but he never expected that Wu would be willing to give him face today.

"I suppose it's because our Wu family has two members who have reached the later stages of cultivation that he felt some pressure."

Wu Wenbin thought to himself.

Zhu Shen didn't say anything. He found a seat and sat down. Then Qin Long from the Qin family and that third brother He also arrived.

Since everyone was already acquainted, they exchanged greetings and sat down.

After chatting for a while, footsteps came from outside the door. Looking up, they saw Yao Jingfeng and Du Wanyi walking in, chatting and laughing.

"Fellow Daoist Yao, Fellow Daoist Du, it's been quite a few years since we last met."

Wu Wenbin smiled and stood up to greet him.

"Indeed, Brother Wu's charm is even greater than before," Yao Jingfeng said politely.

Wu Yan also stepped forward with a smile to greet him. Yao Jingfeng and Du Wanyi did not treat him too coldly, but their smiles were neither warm nor cold... it was all just for show.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Yao, I heard Brother Luo Tian will also be coming?"

Wu Wenbin asked.

"Hmm, they should be here soon."

As soon as Yao Jingfeng finished speaking, a cold-looking cultivator dressed in black robes walked in. As soon as he entered the room, everyone stood up and greeted him.

Luo Tian nodded in return, then went straight to Yao Jingfeng and asked, "Which one is the fourth brother?"

"Greetings, Senior Luo."

Wu Yan, the main character of the banquet, naturally stepped forward to pay his respects.

Luo Tian turned to look at him and asked directly, "You're the fourth brother?"

"no."

Yao Jingfeng said calmly.

Wu Wenbin frowned as he listened to their conversation, but then he seemed to realize something and quickly asked, "Fellow Daoist Yao, could it be that besides my son, someone else has actually broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining?"

"Of course there are."

Yao Jingfeng maintained his usual polite smile.

"who……"

Before Wu Wenbin could finish speaking, Du Wanyi glanced at the door and then said to Luo Tian with a smile, "The fourth brother you asked about is here."

"Oh?"

Luo Tian turned to look at the doorway.

A tall man in blue robes stood at the doorway. The morning sun shone from behind him, blocking most of the light and partially obscuring his body in darkness, leaving only his eyes shining brightly.
