Cultivation begins with harvest.

"About 110 catties of spirit rice, after all, it's only half an acre, and the quality is just up to standard," Chen Guang said. Taking care of swallowtail grass is still a bit troublesome. It easily affects the growth of a weed that looks similar to swallowtail grass, which needs to be removed in time. Swallowtail grass breaks easily when touched, and this often happens when weeding. Breaking once or twice won't affect the swallowtail grass's continued growth, but if it breaks too often, it will affect the quality. Chen Guang has already done his best to keep it at a standard quality. Although part of the reason is that Chen Guang didn't pay much attention to swallowtail grass. From various perspectives, swallowtail grass is just an accessory, planted on the side.

Wan Longjing shook his head: "Then I'll have to take advantage of my junior brother."

"I wouldn't earn much more if I transported it to the market, maybe a few pounds or ten pounds more, and it's easy to break anyway. Selling it to you, Senior Brother, is perfect. I should thank you for saving me some trouble." Chen Guang quickly waved his hand, "If you say that, Senior Brother, you're underestimating me."

Wanlong Temple nodded: "Alright then, I'm quite busy with the building division right now, so I'll trouble you, junior brother, to help me gather them up on the ridge. I'll come back later and take them with me using my storage bag."

"No problem," Chen Guang readily agreed.

Wan Longjing also left in a hurry. With the autumn harvest approaching, the branch buildings were indeed busy. Every day, they had to travel between the spirit fields three or four times to prevent insect infestations. At the same time, they also had to record the harvest of each spirit farmer and organize the subsequent transportation arrangements for the warehouse. There were many and complicated things to do.

Harvesting sagebrush is easy, but this delicate plant is fragile and difficult to cultivate to a high quality. The transportation and subsequent root removal can also cause the roots to relapse in the second spring, resulting in poor quality.

Simply taking away the swallowtail grass is easy.

Chen Guang collected some swallowtail grass yesterday as an experiment, and figured out what the reward light orb of swallowtail grass was and what this small reward light orb meant.

The fact that there are fewer reward orbs than other reward orbs means that there is only one type of reward, and it is an accumulative resource.

The reward orb from Swallowtail Grass only has one reward: [Floating Oil Cloud Soil].

Spiritual Soil: [Oil-covered Cloud Soil]

Grade: Tier 1 Top Quality

Attribute: Cloud Soil

Description: The soil is as soft and fluffy as reeds, and as moist as oil. It is suitable for and promotes the growth of amorphous, impure, and changeable spiritual plants with cloud-like attributes. It can also adapt to the growth of spiritual plants with cloud, wind, and lightning attributes. Planting water-attribute spiritual plants and using water-attribute spells on a large scale will cause the soil to rot, collapse, and dissipate on a large scale. The floating oil cloud soil can provide all the basic nutrients for spiritual plants that are adapted to this soil, but it will continuously consume the floating oil cloud soil.

Unlock the next level of cultivation content: 0/100 (the number of mature spiritual plants cultivated from this spiritual soil)

Spiritual soil also comes in different types. Different types of spiritual soil can benefit different types of spiritual plants. Some spiritual plants and spiritual soils with conflicting attributes are simply not suitable to be used together.

Purple Spirit Soil is a first-tier top-grade spirit soil with the attribute of [Rare Soil]. Rare Soil is different from Cloud Soil. Cloud Soil is only suitable for specific types of spirit plants. Spirit plants that do not have a specific attribute, such as the Linquan Pumpkin, will simply pass through Cloud Soil.

Floating oil cloud soil is a peculiar spiritual soil that floats in the air like a cloud or mist, resembling a clump of grass seeds mixed with sesame oil. Some spiritual plants with unsuitable properties can damage the cloud soil.

But Rare Earth is different. Rare Earth is the most adaptable and can exist on a large scale. Its disadvantage is that it does not have special amplification, but it can meet the needs of large-scale planting. When you don't know how to plant a spiritual plant, planting Rare Earth is always a good choice. Purple Spiritual Earth is a kind of Rare Earth, and it can withstand any kind of spiritual plant.

Chen Guang had already figured out how to use the floating oil cloud soil. His first goal, which he vowed to accomplish, was to own his own spirit tea tree, the Dingzhen Tea Tree, which was a spirit plant with no amorphous shape.

It was because of this reward that Chen Guang discovered that he could also check the attributes of the spirit soil. He had already accumulated 18 harvests of purple spirit soil. He was still some distance away from unlocking the next stage of cultivation, but not far off, because today, Chen Guang was going to harvest hundreds of swallowtail grasses.

Plant Masters can also unlock the next stage of rewards.

What a bumper harvest today!

I wonder what cultivation content will be unlocked in the Spirit Land?

Chen Guang was full of energy just thinking about it. He harvested hundreds of swallowtail grasses in a short while and placed them on the ridge. If it weren't for waiting for Wan Longjing, Chen Guang would have already returned to the courtyard. The hundreds of reward orbs and the cultivation content unlocked by the purple spirit soil made Chen Guang very eager.

Hundreds of portions of floating oily cloud soil, each only the size of a head, still amount to a considerable number. There's an empty room in my small courtyard, but it's uncertain whether it can hold them all.

How did they manage to store these hundreds of samples of oily clay without being discovered?

Without a storage bag, Chen Guang made a bold yet heartbreaking decision.

The only option is to give up what can be kept, retaining only the amount that can be hidden, and rewarding the orbs of light. If they are not released within nine days, they will naturally disappear. What principles or changes are involved here is unknown.

I originally thought I would never need this feature, but now I have no choice but to do it.

A small act of reluctance can ruin a great plan.

It's not like no one comes and goes in my own little courtyard. Hiding one room is already the limit. If I were to hide more, I would inevitably run into trouble if I were exposed and couldn't explain where it came from.

The floating oil cloud soil is no cheap stuff. Each portion given by the reward light group is more than seventy catties of spirit rice, and there are hundreds of portions.

The amount of spirit rice is already tens of thousands of kilograms, which is completely inexplicable. If it is less, we can make excuses and get away with it, but if it is more, it will cause trouble.

"Anyway, I can just plant some swallowtail grass to make up for it when I need it in the future. Swallowtail grass is like floating oil cloud soil to me, equivalent to seventy catties of spirit rice. Not to mention that swallowtail grass itself is also worth a little money." Chen Guang comforted himself like this, and felt much more relaxed. He was no longer in a hurry to return to the courtyard and waited here for Wan Longjing to arrive.

Wan Longjing returned shortly afterward, looking at the swallowtail grass by the field ridge with great satisfaction: "110 catties of spirit rice. As you said, I won't give it to Cheng Suiyuan. I'll leave it at your doorstep. Consider this my way of repaying your kindness. If you need any help, just come to the branch building to find me."

Wan Longjing used his storage bag to collect all the swallowtail grass and left in a hurry.

Chen Guang requested that the payment be made with spirit rice, as his family needed to have some rice in reserve. With over a hundred catties of spirit rice, he could use all the rice coins he had for consumption.

Humming a little tune, he returned to the courtyard with a normal expression, and even greeted his neighbors and chatted for a few words along the way.

After closing the courtyard gate, he first carried the spirit rice in and poured it into the rice jar before entering the bedroom, crawling into bed, and accepting the reward for planting the purple spirit soil.

"The first phase of harvesting Purple Spirit Soil has been completed, yielding one [Purple Spirit Earth Root], unlocking more cultivation content."

Spiritual Item: [Purple Spirit Earth Root]

Grade: Second-tier High

Attributes: Wood, Earth, Cloud

Follower Attribute: Rare Earth/Legion

Description: This method can be used on up to 99 acres of land. Planting a section of Purple Spirit Earth Root will transform it into Purple Spirit Soil, which will last for 10 years. For every acre less used, the duration of the soil will increase by 1 year. Purple Spirit Soil older than 99 years will be completely solidified, and the special spiritual energy within it can circulate on its own and be replenished without excessive consumption.

Using the corresponding amount of [Dragon Qi] on a plot of Purple Spirit Soil of no more than 9 mu (approximately 0.67 hectares), the Purple Spirit Soil can undergo a transformation within a maximum of three years, evolving into a second-tier ordinary [Purple Python Soil].

Cumulative Harvest Rewards (Purple Spirit Earth Root): 478/999 (One Purple Spirit Earth Root is awarded for each harvest using Purple Spirit Soil)

Unlock the next level of cultivation content: 478/1000 (the number of mature spiritual plants cultivated from this spiritual soil)

"You can play it like that?"

Chen Guang stared at the palm-sized spiritual object in his hand, which had no amazing spiritual energy and just looked like a strange purple old tree root. It turned out to be a second-tier high-grade spiritual object!

Chen Guang was relieved that the spiritual energy of the Purple Spirit Earth Root wasn't too exaggerated; the latter simply couldn't hide it.

"I must obtain the array that conceals my presence and the storage artifact as soon as possible!"

Chen Guangzhen was quite frightened—but also happy.
