Chapter 45: Farming Maniac (Part 2)
On a certain dark night, Jiang Yuebai sat by the field and placed a low table, saying she will be taking a break.
"Xiao wu, it's so late. Why haven't you gone home?" Jiang Yuebai asked.
"I want to go home too, but Senior Sister Jiang hasn't returned yet. If I go back too early, I'll be beaten."
"Ah..."
"Wait, are you in the same situation? Are all of you like this?"
"Yeah, none of us dare to go back too early. I'm so hungry, is she even human? How can she not sleep or eat?"
"I've been pushed so hard lately. My cultivation and spells have improved too quickly. It's so heartbreaking."
"Get lost!"
The few juniors chatted and played, while a few elderly cultivators not far away sighed.
"I've never seen anyone take care of a spiritual field so meticulously. She uses the Earthquake Technique to turn the soil, the Crimson Flame Technique to breed, the Cloud and Rain Technique to irrigate, and the Grass and Wood Technique to nourish. Forget spiritual grains; even ordinary spiritual herbs can't compare. Her growth is truly impressive."
"This girl is making life difficult for everyone. When we compare what we're growing to her water caltrops, it feels like we're feeding pigs."
"My little girl at home is exhausted."
"Don't talk about your apprentices; I can barely endure it. Practicing spells is making my fingers cramp."
"Sigh..."
As fireflies flickered, Tao Fengnian approached with a lantern. Everyone looked at him, their eyes filled with emotion.
When Tao Fengnian looked at the field, even though many people had reported to him, seeing it in person was far more shocking. The radiant spiritual light covering the field made him almost mistake it for seventh or eighth-grade spiritual herbs, not mere spiritual beast feed.
And those thorny seeds, typically maturing in one month, had already borne fruit in just a few days. The fruit shells were plump, radiating intense spiritual energy. Could the thorny fruits inside have broken through the ninth-grade to reach the eighth-grade? When it wrapped around someone, even a ninth-grade magic tool might not be able to break free!
Why did it seem like there were a few different types of thorny fruit? What had this girl done?
Tao Fengnian's hands trembled a bit, and he turned to look at the eyes around him, all looking somewhat guilty.
When Jiang Yuebai finally emerged from her intense spellcasting, Tao Fengnian couldn't help but speak up.
"Why don't you just plant yourself in the field?"
Jiang Yuebai smiled happily. "Grandfather, I've mastered talisman-making. This is a Ninth-grade Fireball Talisman that I just finished. Also, my four other outer layer spells in the Edge Sharpness Formula have all reached the Second Level. These days, I've been using the Grass and Wood Technique to nourish the thorny fruits. I'm just one step away from reaching the Third Level in the Grass and Wood Technique."
"It's just that my martial arts practice has fallen behind a bit because I've been too busy, but my cultivation and spiritual awareness have improved significantly. Especially my spiritual awareness, I can easily control ninth-grade magical weapons now, and I can activate the Ice Beetle King three times!"
After spending over a month in the spiritual field, skipping meals and sleep, all of these achievements were the result of her hard work.
Tao Fengnian felt deeply gratified and had a sense that he could retire and entrust everything to Jiang Yuebai. The future was promising.
"Alright, let's go home with Grandfather first. You probably forgot, today is your seventh birthday. Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan sent paper cranes to you. Let's go home and see."
"Great!"
Jiang Yuebai stood up with a radiant smile, and Tao Fengnian took out all the defensive arrays and discs he had on him, ensuring that the twenty acres of the spiritual field were tightly sealed.
"Grandpa, you're being too exaggerated. These are just water caltrops. You only need to protect the thorny fruits for me."
"Is what you're planting ordinary water caltrops? You've done a great job, but next time, you're not allowed to plant them. In a few days, I'll buy you some spiritual herb seeds to plant."
"In that case, let's plant Dan Yang Ginseng. It can nourish depleted essence and prolong life..."
"Dan Yang Ginseng is too troublesome. Find something easier to cultivate."
The old and the young walked back home with the lantern. As they passed by the village houses, a few children gathered and whispered to each other.
"She's pretending to be something she's not! If she wants to be outstanding, fine, but she's causing us to be scolded every day."
"Yeah, who knows if she's cultivating with elixirs? What's she so proud of? She'll fall flat sooner or later!"
"She even thinks she'll become a Spirit Farmer in three years? It's laughable. Isn't she afraid of practicing herself into a frenzy..."..."
"Say that again and see what happens!"
Lü Ying emerged from the darkness, her eyes filled with anger as she glared at them.
"What's it to you if she's making progress through her efforts? You guys aren't even cultivating, yet you're cursing her and saying bad things. Beware that I'll tell Elder Tao to discipline you!"
The few children wore sulky expressions and left one by one.
"I warn you, if I hear you gossiping behind my back again, I won't spare you!"
Lü Ying watched them sullenly as they disappeared into the night. She bit her lip and went alone to the small grove behind the village.
Silently, she took out the repaired jade hairpin, looked at it, carefully put it away, and then began to practice her spells repeatedly, without getting tired of it...
"Xiao wu, it's so late. Why haven't you gone home?" Jiang Yuebai asked.
"I want to go home too, but Senior Sister Jiang hasn't returned yet. If I go back too early, I'll be beaten."
