Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

Xiyu Mountains.

Jiang Yun followed the family guards to the Jiang family camp.

The area around the camp is flat and has large areas of spiritual fields.

These spiritual fields are planted with spiritual herbs.

The medicinal herb is far more precious than the medicinal rice.

Therefore, the camps of the Song, Chen, and Jiang families were all built near the medicinal fields.

The spiritual fields opened up in other places are mainly used for planting spiritual rice.

In addition, the terrain is uneven due to the surrounding mountains of the Xiyu Mountains.

Apart from the fact that the spirit fields are relatively concentrated near the camp.

The spiritual fields developed in other places are scattered throughout the mountains.

These scattered spiritual fields were most vulnerable to plunder and destruction by the Song and Chen families.

The family has sent additional Qi Refining mid-stage personnel this time to curb the arrogance of the Song and Chen families, while also protecting the normal output of the spirit fields.

Jiang Yun observed her surroundings.

Soon, they arrived outside the main tent at the camp's central location, accompanied by the guards.

"By order of the clan chief, the guards have come to report for duty."

The captain of this guard team is named Jiang Anjie, who has the cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining, while the others are all at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

He bowed with his hands clasped and shouted loudly towards the main tent.

Inside the large tent, two elderly men sat facing each other, playing chess and chatting.

One of the elders put down his chess piece and smiled, "The reinforcements sent by the family have arrived."

Another old man nodded slightly, looked outside the tent, and said, "Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yun followed the guards into the main tent.

He looked at the two old men inside the tent and immediately recognized their identities.

These two elderly men were the leaders of the Jiang family camp in the Xiyu Mountains.

One of them was named Jiang Yiping, the son of the clan leader Jiang Fuyuan, and had a cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Refining.

This person is in charge of logistics, managing the spiritual fields and herbs, as well as distributing monthly salaries, and holds significant financial power.

The other person is named Jiang Yitian, the son of Jiang Fuying, the eldest son of the Jiang family, and has the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

He was in charge of guarding the camp and had real power to deploy troops.

This arrangement, which puts Jiang Yiping and Jiang Yitian in a check-and-balance position, was undoubtedly a deliberate move by the family.

Once everyone had entered the tent, Jiang Yiping took out a roster to confirm the identities of Jiang Yun and the others.

After his identity was confirmed, he sat down to the side and took a pen, without saying anything more.

Jiang Yitian began to mobilize troops and assign tasks and destinations to Jiang Yun and others.

Jiang Yiping made a record of each person he assigned to a position so that salaries could be distributed later.

"Jiang Anjie, Jiang Ruoshui, you two stay at the camp and await orders to provide reinforcements."

"Wang Yan, go and guard Spirit Field No. 6."

"Jiang Yun, go and guard the No. 9 Spirit Field."

……

After going through the process, all the additional personnel sent by the family this time were assigned tasks.

Jiang Yun sighed inwardly.

As expected, those born out of wedlock were not valued.

Jiang Ruoshui and he were both at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but she stayed behind to guard the camp.

Compared to the scattered spirit fields, this camp is much safer.

They left the camp.

Led by the camp guards, Jiang Yun headed to the location of Spirit Field No. 9.

We set off from the camp and traversed mountains and valleys.

After traveling eighty miles west, the No. 9 Spirit Field came into view.

Judging from its size, it should be about ten acres.

Jiang Yun could see from afar that two spirit farmers were busy in the spirit field.

As they approached the spirit field, the guards called out to the spirit farmers, "Li Buxing, Lin Xuan, come here!"

Upon hearing this, the two spirit farmers stopped what they were doing and immediately ran to Jiang Yun.

"This is Steward Jiang Yun, the new field keeper," the guard introduced.

Li Buxing and Lin Xuan bowed together and said, "Greetings, Steward Jiang."

Jiang Yun nodded.

Next, he became the field keeper here.

They are responsible for resisting the incursions of the Song and Chen families, protecting the spiritual fields from damage, and ensuring normal production.

Of course, he didn't need to worry about working in the fields or other daily chores.

"Manager Jiang, this is Spirit Field Number Nine. If there are no further instructions, I will return to the camp to report."

The guards knew that Jiang Yun was a member of the Jiang family, so they spoke to him politely.

This trip brought Jiang Yun to Spirit Field No. 9; his mission was complete.

"Go."

After the guards left.

Li Buxing and Lin Xuan stood there, looking somewhat restrained.

The new field keeper's surname is Jiang, so he must be a member of the Jiang family. I wonder if he'll be easy to get along with.

Jiang Yun laughed and said, "No need to be nervous, which of you two is Lin Xuan?"

"Reporting to the steward, I am Lin Xuan," said the taller Ling Nong, stepping forward.

Jiang Yun looked at the other person and asked, "Your name is Li Buxing? Is that your nickname?"

"It's not a nickname." Li Buxing waved his hand and explained, "Li is the 'Mu Zi Li,' the 'Bu' in hemp cloth, and the 'Xing' in cultivation."

"Li Buhang..." Jiang Yun smiled and said, "It's nothing else. You guys go ahead and get busy. I'll take a look around."

"Yes." Lin Xuan and Li Buxing returned to the spirit field and got busy.

It is September, the time for planting spirit rice.

Spirit rice is harvested only once a year, allowing it to fully absorb the essence and vitality of the four seasons.

The harvest will take place around August or September next year.

Ten acres of spiritual fields await sowing, keeping Lin Xuan and Li Buxing quite busy.

Jiang Yun no longer needed to worry about farming and started wandering around.

"Since we're here, let's make the best of it and get familiar with the environment first."

The ninth spirit field in the Xiyu Mountains of the Jiang family is located far from the camp and is one of the outermost spirit fields.

Some time ago, when the spirit rice ripened, the Chen family sent people to plunder the area and kill the previous field keeper.

Meanwhile, other spiritual fields were also looted and destroyed by the Chen and Song families.

The Jiang family had no choice but to send more people.

"The spiritual rice has only just begun to be planted this year. The Chen and Song families will only plunder it after the spiritual rice has ripened."

As Jiang Yun wandered around, he seemed to be deep in thought.

"In that case, things should be peaceful for a year."

"Since your cultivation is progressing slowly, you should practice more spells and concealment techniques."

Having made up his mind, Jiang Yun pulled himself out of his thoughts and walked to the door of a wooden house.

This wooden house is where the farmer lives; the conditions are very simple.

There are several other wooden houses about ten feet away from here.

That was Lin Xuan and Li Buxing's residence, as well as their kitchen and woodshed.

Not far away, there was a vegetable garden, a chicken coop, and a duck coop.

Even cultivators in the Qi Refining stage need to eat and drink; they cannot be as detached from worldly affairs as Foundation Establishment cultivators.

It is estimated that this vegetable garden and chicken coop were cultivated and built by Li Buxing and Lin Xuan under the orders of the previous field keeper.

"They certainly know how to enjoy life."

As dusk approached.

Jiang Yun picked some green vegetables from the vegetable garden and then caught a chicken and killed it.

He went to the kitchen and cooked a meal himself.

When we eat later.

He planned to eat and chat with Lin Xuan and Li Buxing, asking them about some things.

For example, who was the previous field keeper, what was his cultivation level, and who killed him?

After the food was cooked, it was getting dark.

Jiang Yun noticed that Li Buxing and Lin Xuan were still busy in the spirit field, showing no intention of stopping.

In September, they rushed to plant the sacred rice, and the two dared not slack off, often sowing at night.

This is a true reflection of the lives of cultivators at the bottom of the cultivation world.

There are three great hardships in life: rowing a boat, blacksmithing, and grinding tofu.

The three hardships of cultivating immortality are raising fish, growing rice, and cultivating spiritual herbs.
