Vampire Cultivation Notes

……

The ephemeral mushroom knows not the cycle of day and night, while the mountain dweller calculates the years and months.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Because things were in complete chaos outside, with not only demonic tigers appearing, but also people frequently fighting in the ruined cave area, they called on Li Jieqing to go out and help.

Eight out of ten groups claimed to have snatched the cultivation technique, but unfortunately, the names were all completely nonsensical.

Li Jieqing was kind-hearted and did not want to see cultivators fighting, so he simply closed the door and stayed indoors.

He didn't even go to the desolate mountains. He just wrote down a few questions he had about learning the Cloud Seal script in the booklet. He wasn't in a hurry to ask for advice. He just wanted to avoid the limelight for a while and farm some land.

Underground space.

Li Jieqing carefully calculated the days.

The yellow insect beneath it spun for sixty days with the Sun-Radiance Pearl on its head, and for another sixty days with the Moon-Radiance Pearl on its head, totaling exactly two months.

Right now, underground, the spirit rice is ripening!

Within the fifty acres of spirit fields, the spirit rice seeds that Wanbaoge once bought and planted have grown. The mature rice ears are as tall as nine feet three inches, with a color of both green and white. The rice grains hang down like strings of beads, without any husks, revealing a crystal-like texture.

The entire plant of spirit rice grew densely around the cast stone pillar, reflecting the spirit field like white clouds and blue sky, with the top resembling the ground.

Li Jieqing walked through the seemingly endless spiritual fields, which were not even as tall as the rice stalks. He held a bronze mirror, reflecting the fifty acres of spiritual land inside and out, and nodded from time to time.

The spirit rice closest to the small pond and herb garden ripens the fastest, while the spirit rice on the outermost edge ripens a little slower, but it's almost ready to be harvested now.

This spiritual rice is called white corn, and it is one of the spiritual rice varieties produced in the Taipingfang City with the highest yield and the fastest maturation period.

It usually takes four years to mature. The rice stalks can still bear fruit after that, but the yield will be lower. They will also attract monsters to eat them after they mature. Therefore, after harvesting, the spirit farmers will cut down the rice stalks and plant a new batch of spirit rice seedlings.

At this moment, white corn that takes four years to mature is ripe in just two months!

Li Jieqing raised his hand and plucked a grain of rice from the drooping ears of rice above his head, then put it in his mouth and chewed it lightly.

A faint scent of herbs and trees wafts from the mouth, and a wisp of spiritual energy enters the body.

"Great quality!" Li Jieqing's eyes lit up. This was much better than the work meals he used to eat at Danfang!

Spitting out the residue, Li Jieqing made a quick assessment on the spot.

With just these fifty acres of land, the yield should be over three hundred shi of grain.

According to his occasional blood energy probing, if the harvest is completed every two months, the supply to the cultivators in the ruins of Taipingfang and the surrounding area will be sufficient, and there may even be some left over.

It should be noted that at its peak, Taipingfang had 120 hectares of fertile land that could not sustain the entire neighborhood.

When the neighborhood is in ruins, his mere fifty acres of land will be enough to feed the local people.

This is not only because there are far fewer people, but also because the spiritual rice ripens every two months, resulting in an astonishingly high yield.

This is all because of the second-grade auspicious blue lotus in the central pond.

Over the past two months, Li Jieqing has carefully observed the effects of the lotus.

The pure spiritual energy of the Azure Lotus can accelerate the growth of medicinal herbs such as Chicken Blood Vine, Vermilion Fruit, Rejuvenating Grass, and Large-leaved Lingzhi by more than ten times, almost twelve times.

For ginseng, black sesame, and other medicinal herbs, the ripening speed is nearly thirty times faster!

The ginseng, planted just two months ago, is already fully ripe and ready to be used as medicine in the secular world.

As for the White Jade Spirit Rice, which was cultivated by spirit plant masters and is known for its rapid maturation, the ripening and growth rate accelerated by the spiritual energy of the Azure Lotus reached nearly fifty times.

Four-year-old Lingmi rice ripens in just two months.

"What a stroke of luck! If only my cultivation speed could be several times faster."

Li Jieqing, filled with envy, walked out of the rice paddy with his hands behind his back and waved his hand.

A moon-gazing eel emerged, its head adorned with the sun's radiance pearl, and bent down.

"Go, pick the spirit rice," Li Jieqing pointed.

The Moon-Gazing Eel, which stared at the Light-Capturing Pearl day and night, widened its eyes, looked at Bai Yuling Rice Field and then at Li Jieqing, before flicking its tail out from the ground.

"Does not having hands mean you don't have to work? How can you improve like this?!"

Li Jieqing was also disappointed in him. Two months ago, he had painstakingly planted the rice seedlings using his manipulation technique. Now, all he had to do was loosen the soil, apply fertilizer, catch a few insects, water the plants, and stand guard for nine hours a day while wearing two light-absorbing pearls.

What a lazy guy!

Li Jieqing shook his head and had no choice but to raise his hand to summon the Green Water Sword and go up to cut the spirit rice himself.

He cut the rice in front, then sent the Moon-Gazing Eels to pick it up behind him, while also loosening the soil in preparation for planting a batch of spirit rice.

Having received many storage bags from kind-hearted people before, it's quite convenient to put the harvested spirit rice into them now.

"...Let's leave a few plants here and see how long these white corn plants can survive under Qinglian's care."

After working for a whole day and night, Li Jieqing harvested all fifty acres of land, leaving only a few white corn stalks near the medicinal herb garden unharvested.

The yield of the rice was far beyond his expectations, so wasting a few plants now wouldn't matter.

What if one day, for the first time in history, one were to eat white corn with medicinal properties that had lasted for a hundred years? Wouldn't that be incredibly nourishing?

After the spirit rice was harvested, only emerald-white rice stalks remained on the fifty acres of spirit land. When the Sun-Radiant Pearl shone upon them, the entire underground space was illuminated in a clear and bright light.

"They say working brings you benefits; clear the land and you can eat the rice stalks."

Li Jieqing pointed forward, and the moon-gazing eel-like worm rushed forward excitedly, opening its mouth to devour the cut white corn stalks.

The Moon-gazing Eel has a diverse diet and is never picky about food.

This kind of rice is a top-quality spiritual food for it, much better than what it eats outside.

As they ate, the yellow worms defecated, leaving their waste in the spiritual field as fertilizer. With a sweep of their tails, they buried the waste.

Li Jieqing retreated into the herb garden, a place sheltered by the fragrance of blue lotus, and couldn't help but marvel at how the Moon-Gazing Eel, a mythical beast, was truly born for this profession.

Since the spirit rice is growing so well, we can leave the sowing of seeds to it; it doesn't matter if it's a bit rough.

If we grow too much and can't sell it, we'll feed it all to the moon eels. After all, judging from the appearance, white corn seems to be quite beneficial to the moon eels.

……

……

"It's time to see how things are going outside."

Li Jieqing planted another crop of spirit rice, tended to the medicinal garden, and then arranged for the Moon-Gazing Eel to guard the underground while he went out on his own.

While farming brings inexplicable joy during the harvest, one must never forget the importance of spiritual practice.

He stayed indoors for two months and studied Cloud Seal script for two months, and he had learned it pretty well. However, he still couldn't understand the book "Invisible Heavenly Sword".

I have never encountered anything so obscure and difficult to understand in my entire life.

Li Jieqing believed he had good comprehension; he had mastered the basics of the thick book "The Secret Record of Blood Heart Freedom" in just a few dozen days and successfully switched to other disciplines.

As a result, they couldn't figure out the secrets of "The Invisible Heavenly Sword," which was not a cultivation technique but a kind of magic sword manual.

We need to break down a few words.

I will formally go to the Wanbaoge, a place of extraordinary origin, to seek some advice.
