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

early morning.

Fang He stood by the spirit field, his brows slightly furrowed.

The leaves of the Linggu plant in front of me had a faint yellow tinge, and its growth was not as good as expected.

He crouched down and sensed it.

Linggu was not sick, but simply neglected.

He has been frequently involved in clearing out sea monsters during this period, and has had almost no time to manage the spirit field.

Watering, weeding, and mulching – these routine tasks have all been neglected.

"We need to find a reliable person to help us."

Fang He was making plans in his mind.

The spiritual fields cannot be left uncultivated, and the missions cannot be ignored.

The only solution to achieve the best of both worlds is to entrust it to someone else.

He thought of Zhao Haisheng.

……

Zhao Haisheng lived not far from Fang He and was also a rogue cultivator who rented spiritual fields.

However, he mainly made a living by fishing, and only took care of Lingtian as a side job.

Fang He knocked on Zhao Haisheng's door.

"They're here!"

Zhao Haisheng's voice came from inside.

The door opened, and Zhao Haisheng smiled when he saw Fang He.

"Brother Fang, so early?"

Fang He nodded: "Brother Zhao, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with."

Zhao Haisheng stepped aside: "Come in and talk."

Fang He walked into the house and saw a four or five-year-old boy sitting on the floor playing with a wooden fish.

That was Zhao Haisheng's son. When he saw a stranger come in, he timidly hid at the door of the inner room.

A woman peeked out from the inner room, nodded at Fang He, and then withdrew.

She is Zhao Haisheng's wife.

"sit."

Zhao Haisheng pointed to the wooden stool.

"Brother Zhao, I recently took on a patrol mission and haven't had time to manage the spirit fields."

"I'd like to entrust you with taking care of it for a month, with a 30/70 split of the profits. What do you think?"

Fang He sat down and got straight to the point.

Zhao Haisheng was taken aback, then a look of joy flashed in his eyes.

He has a wife and children to support, so having an extra source of income is naturally a good thing.

But he didn't agree rashly. Instead, he asked, "What about the rent and the seeds?"

"I'll take responsibility."

Fang He said, "You just need to take care of the daily needs."

Zhao Haisheng thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

"Brother Fang trusts me, so I will definitely take good care of him."

Fang He stood up and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect: "Then I'll leave it to Brother Zhao."

"Don't worry, Brother Fang, leave the matter of the spirit field to me."

Zhao Haisheng saw Fang He to the door, looking grateful.

……

After leaving Zhao Haisheng's house, Fang He went straight to the market.

During this period, he had been trying to find Captain Chen to see if there was anything that could extract the entries.

Captain Chen traveled between various islands, bringing back many exotic items.

Fang He had made a considerable profit from the things he bought from him last time.

Fangshi.

As soon as Fang He approached the entrance, she sensed that something was wrong.

There were many more people than usual, and most of them were unfamiliar faces.

They gathered in twos and threes, whispering among themselves.

"The settlements on Qing Shi Island have all been destroyed, and Qing Shi Bay is completely ruined..."

"I heard that more than twenty Qi Refining stage cultivators have died, and even the Shi family is struggling to survive..."

"These islands on the edge of the inland sea are not peaceful; the sea monsters are becoming increasingly ferocious..."

Fang He listened silently, his mind alert.

The rogue cultivators who fled came from the direction of Qing Shi Island.

It seems that the situation on other islands along the edge of the inland sea is worse than that on Qing'ao Island.

He walked through the crowd and headed towards the east side of the market.

Captain Chen's stall is in that corner over there.

……

Soon, Fang He found Captain Chen.

Captain Chen was squatting on the ground tidying up his stall, sorting and arranging various items.

Sea animal bones, deep-sea shells, exotic woods... were laid out all over the floor.

Seeing Fang He approach, Captain Chen looked up and smiled.

"Brother Fang, back to Taobao again?"

Fang He squatted down, his gaze sweeping over the items on the stall.

"Did Captain Chen bring anything good this time?"

"Of course," Captain Chen grinned. "I just returned from the open sea and picked up quite a few rare finds."

Fang He didn't rush to speak, but silently absorbed the "Introduction to Appreciation".

As he navigated through the entries, he formed a vague assessment of the items on the stall.

The bone material is of average quality, the shells are nothing special, but the wood is quite old...

His gaze suddenly stopped.

It was a snail shell.

It is about the size of a fist, grayish-white in color, and has strange patterns on its surface.

Unlike other seashells, it carries a unique scent of the open sea.

Fang He's heart stirred.

This shell can be used to try reading the history.

He picked up the shell and asked, "How much is this?"

Captain Chen glanced at it: "This thing, oh, it's a Five Elemental Stone."

Fang He shook his head: "Captain Chen, this conch shell is of average quality. How about three spirit stones?"

Captain Chen laughed and said, "Brother Fang certainly knows how to bargain."

He thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, three spirit stones, let's be friends."

Fang He took out three spirit stones and handed them to Captain Chen.

Captain Chen accepted the spirit stones and casually asked, "What, you've taken a fancy to this seashell?"

Fang He smiled and said, "It looks special, so I bought it to play with."

……

Fang He found a quiet corner and held the snail shell.

With a thought, the history rewind panel appeared.

[Readable historical traces detected]

He concentrated and began to read.

The history of snail shells slowly unfolds in my mind.

In the darkness of the deep sea, a snail shell lies quietly on the seabed.

It floated in the ocean currents, enduring countless days and nights.

As the storm approached and giant waves surged, it was swept into the whirlpool.

The repeated impacts have honed its outer shell.

It learned to endure the storms and to remain stable amidst turmoil.

Decades of time have transformed into layers of fine lines.

[Extracted term: Wave tolerance (white)]

Fang He opened her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips.

[Wave Tolerance (White): Increases balance in rough seas by 20%, significantly reducing the chance of seasickness.]

This entry is very helpful for maritime operations.

In future missions to clear marine mammals, maneuvering in stormy conditions will be more stable.

He put the snail shell into his storage bag and turned to walk towards Captain Chen's stall.

……

Captain Chen was packing his things when he saw Fang He return and waved to him.

"Brother Fang, there's something I need to remind you of."

He lowered his voice, his expression grave.

"Recently, while sailing, I returned from Langya Island and discovered several groups of sea monsters moving towards Qing'ao Island."

"Although it's not a large-scale operation, this route is quite unusual."

Fang He's heart skipped a beat: "What do you mean?"

Captain Chen shook his head: "Sea creatures usually migrate along the edge of the open sea."

"But this time, they seemed to be attracted by something, gathering directly from the outer sea to the edge of the inner sea."

"Qingshi Island and Tiegu Island have both suffered, and now Qing'ao Island is not peaceful either."

"My flight path is becoming increasingly dangerous, requiring me to take several more miles around, and I dare not take a straight route."

Fang He recalled all the unusual things that had happened before.

Sun Er escaped, sea monsters became more active, and the settlement on Qing Shi Island was destroyed...

Captain Chen's words set off alarm bells in his mind.

Sea creatures appear to be gathering around these islands on the edge of the inland sea.

But he remained expressionless, simply nodding and thanking him.

"Thank you for the reminder, Captain Chen. I will be careful."

Captain Chen patted him on the shoulder: "Better safe than sorry."

"These days, the seas are not peaceful..."

Fang He bid farewell to Captain Chen and left the market.

This trip to the market was quite fruitful.

Fang He secretly made a plan in his heart.

Once this period of tasks is over, it's time to go check out the cultivation technique pavilion.

Learning an offensive spell can give you an extra bit of self-defense ability.
