Immortality and Cultivation: I can extract entries from all things.

Qing'ao Island, Lingtian District.

The more than 100 acres of spiritual fields are divided into plots of varying sizes, scattered on the gentle slopes at the foot of the mountain.

Water channels meander between the fields, and spiritual springs flow down from the mountain, irrigating the entire spiritual field.

This is an outer property of the Zhou family's influence, managed by stewards dispatched by the Zhou family, and rented to independent cultivators on the island who have no land to cultivate to grow spirit grains.

Fang He bent down, squatted down in front of a spirit millet plant, and reached out to brush aside the leaves.

The spirit grain is growing well and can be harvested in another half month.

If nothing unexpected happens, this batch of spirit grain can be sold for eight or nine spirit stones. After deducting five spirit stones for rent, three or four spirit stones will still be left.

Three or four spirit stones are enough to buy a few bottles of inferior pills, or to save them up and buy a slightly better cultivation technique.

He stood up and patted the dirt off his knees.

She has an ordinary appearance; the kind of person you wouldn't notice if you threw her into a crowd.

An ordinary rogue cultivator and plant grower.

Fang He glanced at the sky and estimated the time.

His biggest takeaway from three months on Qing'ao Island was learning how to read the weather.

Observing the sky, the sea breeze, and the changes in the clouds—these are all skills required for working in the fields.

Unfortunately, here, knowledge is worthless; only skills are valuable.

He is a time traveler.

Three months ago, he woke up to find himself in this world as Fang He.

The original owner was an orphan, without parents, who barely made a living by renting two acres of low-grade spiritual fields.

He had a low-grade spiritual root and it took him four years to barely break through to the second level of Qi Refining, after which he remained stagnant.

Poor aptitude, limited resources, outdated techniques, and no one to guide them.

In the original owner's memories, her monthly income was barely enough to pay rent and make ends meet, and she couldn't save any spirit stones at all.

Without spirit stones, one cannot buy pills and cultivation techniques; without pills and cultivation techniques, one cannot break through to a higher realm; and without breaking through to a higher realm, one can only continue to struggle at the bottom.

A vicious cycle.

Fang He sighed.

Before he transmigrated, he was an ordinary person, and after he transmigrated, he remained an ordinary person.

The only difference is that this world has cultivation, immortality, and powerful beings who can control the weather.

He was just a low-level rogue cultivator who couldn't even afford to collect enough spirit stones.

Fortunately, the original owner had no ties or burdens.

So what if I've transmigrated? At least I'm still alive. I'm not the best off, but I'm not the worst off either.

Fang He walked along the irrigation canal, checking the irrigation status of the spiritual fields.

This batch of spirit grains was crucial to his livelihood for the next month, so he dared not slack off in the slightest.

Manager Zhou has requirements for the tenants' harvests. If there are several consecutive poor harvests, the tenants will face the risk of having their spiritual fields reclaimed.

He can't afford to rent anywhere else; this is his only way out right now.

The water in the canal was somewhat murky, as silt and sand from upstream had been washed down and accumulated at the bottom of the canal.

Fang He squatted down and reached out to clear the silt from the side of the ditch so that the water could flow more smoothly.

My finger touched a hard object.

Fang He paused for a moment, then dug the thing out of the mud.

It is a fragment of a jade slip.

It was only the size of a palm, with jagged edges and a surface covered with cracks and dirt, making it impossible to see its original appearance.

However, a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy could be sensed; though weak, it was indeed present.

Fang He wiped the surface with his sleeve, removing some of the dirt and revealing the grayish jade inside.

It's nothing valuable.

He had sifted through the ditch several times, occasionally managing to find some scraps washed down, mostly worthless junk.

This jade slip fragment looks similar; it's unclear where it was washed down from, and how long it was buried in the mud.

Just as Fang He was about to throw it away, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

A panel appears.

Fang He was stunned.

The panel was within his mind; he could see it clearly even with his eyes closed, and the text on it shone brightly:

[Retrievable historical traces detected]

[Item: Fragment of a Jade Slip]

[Historical Imprint: A Qi Refining Cultivator's Meditation Insights (Gray)]

【Whether to extract? 】

Fang He's heart pounded violently a few times.

He forced himself to remain calm and quickly looked around.

He was surrounded by sacred fields, and several tenants were working in the distance, but no one noticed him.

He looked at the jade slip fragment in his hand again; its appearance remained unchanged.

Only he can see that panel.

Fang He took a deep breath, put the jade slip fragment into his pocket, and then walked quickly towards the rocky area by the sea at the edge of the spirit field.

The rocks over there, rising and falling in a staggered pattern, form a natural barrier. It's a secluded and deserted place where he usually rests.

He sat down behind a boulder, and after making sure no one was around, he took out the fragment of the jade slip again.

The panel is still there, and the text on it remains unchanged.

Fang He stared at the line of text: Extract or not?

His breathing was a little rapid.

For three months after his transmigration, he always thought he was one of the unlucky ones among the transmigrators, without a system or any cheat codes, and could only barely make ends meet by relying on the original owner's legacy.

But now, a panel suddenly appeared in front of him.

Fang He steadied himself and silently said, "Yes."

The text on the panel changed immediately.

A picture suddenly flashed through his mind.

The image was blurry and fleeting, as if viewed through frosted glass.

He vaguely saw a blurry figure sitting cross-legged, meditating with his eyes closed.

The person's face was not clearly visible; one could only sense a peaceful and serene aura, as if they were one with their surroundings.

Spiritual energy circulated throughout his body, and his breathing was long and steady.

The image lasted only a few breaths before dissipating like smoke.

Fang He came to her senses and found that there were some things in her mind.

A point of light condensed in the sea of ​​consciousness, gradually transforming into a line of text:

Extraction successful

[Acquired stat: Aura Affinity (Gray)]

Fang He was stunned.

Entry?

He focused his mind, and the panel reappeared. But this time, the content had changed:

[History Retrospective Panel]

[Holder: Fang He]

[Realm Level: Qi Refining Level 2]

[Acquired the attribute: Aura Affinity (gray), not activated]

Fang He stared at the panel, his thoughts racing.

History Rewind Panel – that's the name of this ability.

It can read the history of an item and then extract entries from its historical imprints.

What is the term?

He tried asking in his mind, but the panel did not respond.

It seems this panel won't answer questions proactively; he'll have to figure it out himself.

Fang He focused his attention on spiritual affinity, trying to understand its meaning.

Sure enough, a line of text appeared:

[Affix Effect: Affinity to Spiritual Energy (gray), Spiritual Energy Sensitivity +10%, Cultivation Efficiency +5%]

Activate?

Fang He's heart raced again.

A 5% increase in cultivation efficiency isn't a strong effect, but it's already quite valuable to him.

The cultivation speed of low-grade spiritual roots is inherently slow, so every little bit of improvement is valuable.

"activation."

He meditated in his heart.

The text on the panel changes.

[Entry activated]

[Reasonable Affinity (Gray): Activated]

At the same time, Fang He felt subtle changes occurring within his body.

It was as if a veil covering his senses had been lifted, and his perception of the surrounding spiritual energy became clearer.

It's hard to describe the feeling; it's like looking at something in murky water and suddenly it becomes clearer.

Fang He sat cross-legged and began to circulate the internal energy within his body.

Aoki's Secret.

This is the cultivation technique that the original owner practiced, a basic wood-type cultivation technique that was bought in the market for five spirit stones.

The technique itself is nothing special, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is moderate. Its advantage is that it can nourish the wood-type spiritual root in the body, which has a certain auxiliary effect on cultivating spiritual plants.

Wood-type spiritual energy is gentle and long-lasting, and easy to enter the body, but it is extremely slow to condense into true energy.

This is also one of the reasons why Fang He's Qi Refining Level 2 has stagnated for half a year. It's not that he didn't work hard, but the cultivation method itself determines the upper limit of the accumulation speed.

But now, he senses something is different.

The process of spiritual energy entering the body becomes smoother, the sensation becomes clearer, and the circulation of true energy within the body becomes more fluid.

Although the changes are not significant, they do exist.

My cultivation efficiency has really improved.

Fang He opened her eyes and let out a long breath.

He looked at the panel in his mind, and an indescribable emotion welled up in his heart.

After three months of traversing the distance, he saw hope for changing his fate for the first time.

This ability allows you to extract entries from the history of an item, and these entries can provide various beneficial effects.

The first entry is "Aura Affinity". Although it is only a low-level gray entry and its effect is not strong, it confirms one thing.

This ability is really useful.

If he can find more historical items and extract more entries...

Fang He stood up and looked at the dilapidated thatched hut not far away.

That was where he lived, filled with all sorts of odds and ends left behind by the original owner of the body.

They were all worthless junk that the original owner had never been willing to throw away.

Could similar items be hidden inside?

Fang He did not go back immediately, but stood there, carefully sorting through the information he had just obtained.

This ability requires contact with objects to be triggered, reading history takes a certain amount of time, and extracting entries requires confirmation.

The whole process is not complicated; the key is to find items with historical significance.

The fragment of the jade slip contained the meditation insights of a Qi Refining cultivator, which is why the term "Spiritual Affinity" could be extracted from it.

If the historical imprint of an item is different, the extracted terms will also be different.

In other words, he needs to look for valuable, historical items.

On this Qing'ao Island, what is the most valuable and has the longest history?

Fang He thought of the market, the Zhou family, and those places he didn't usually have access to.

But given his current status and financial resources, those places are not easily accessible to him.

Fortunately, he still has time.

Fang He glanced at the sky; the sun was already setting in the west, and evening was approaching.

He decided to go back to cultivate first, and also take a look at the odds and ends in the thatched hut.

If he could find a few more entries, his cultivation speed might be able to improve further.

As night deepened, Fang He lay in bed, gazing at the night sky through the torn window paper.

A single term, though its effect is small, is indeed effective.

If we can find more historical items, we can extract more entries...
