Chapter 137 After Slash-and-Burn Agriculture, the Competition is Too Fierce

Harvested 1166 “Premium Spirit Rice” plants, increasing their lifespan by 7000 days.

[Harvested 453 “premium watermelons”, with a lifespan increased by 2265 days]

Harvesting 820 “premium cabbages,” with a lifespan increased by 4100 days.

Current remaining lifespan: 706 years.

Currently available: [Premium Lingmi Rice: 8000 jin].

This harvest adds 36 years to the lifespan.

Xu Changqing’s current lifespan has surpassed the five hundred years of the Golden Core stage.

Who would have thought that he was just a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator?

Even if they never harvest lifespan again, they can still live for more than seven hundred years.

As for rare spiritual plants, excluding the mutated green gourds that have already been harvested, the other two types were not processed because they were not yet mature.

Next, Xu Changqing divided the straw in half.

Half of the first mu of second-grade spiritual land should be reserved.

The remaining half was placed in the newly added second acre of second-grade spirit field.

Once everything was settled, he stood on the edge of the field and activated the [Blazing Fire Cooking Oil Technique], activating the fire elemental power in his dantian. His hands instantly turned bright red, and then with a “whoosh,” two burning flames emerged.

With a flick of his wrist, red flames flew out and landed on two piles of straw.

The flames spread rapidly, followed by a sizzling sound.

This is the traditional way of farming, called “slash-and-burn agriculture”.

Its function is to quickly clear the spirit field.

Moreover, ashes contain various nutrients.

It has a similar effect to spirit beast excrement, increasing the fertility of black soil.

The burning flames were reflected in Xu Changqing’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but sigh, “Everything has become much more convenient since I acquired the fire spirit root.”

And so on.

Once you awaken your earth spirit root, you can loosen the soil yourself.

Awakening the water elemental root allows one to generate rain on their own.

Once you awaken your Golden Spiritual Root, you can eliminate insects on your own.

Possessing five spiritual roots, it is completely self-sufficient.

As time passed, the flames gradually died out.

The burned straw turned into warm ashes.

Xu Changqing opened his small storage bag, took out a common spiritual artifact rake, and then walked towards the first acre of second-grade spiritual field on the left, and began to spread the ashes evenly on the black soil.

Originally, Han Su could have helped with this step.

After all, the Earth Spirit Root is faster and more efficient at loosening the soil.

So far, there has been no word from the other party.

I don’t know if they went to the 38th level of the earth’s veins or came into contact with the yellow energy.

Therefore, Xu Changqing had to do it himself. Although it was hard work, it was safer.

Why not find another earth-elemental spirit?

Strangers you’ve never worked with are ultimately not trustworthy.

After finishing the pile on the left, Xu Changqing immediately headed towards the second acre of Grade 2 spirit field on the right.

Using the exact same method, the ash was spread evenly on the black soil with a rake.

It does take a lot of time for one person, but thankfully he enjoys it.

After that, the matter was not over.

Next, Xu Changqing brought over the spirit beast’s excrement.

Then, in the exact same way as before, we began to fertilize the black soil.

Ash can indeed increase fertility.

But compared to spirit beast excrement, it’s still not quite there.

The excrement had been processed by the people of Spirit Beast Valley, becoming very dry. With a slight tap of a rake, it immediately crumbled into tiny fragments.

After finishing the first mu of spiritual field, we started working on the second mu.

Three hours had passed after all the spiritual fields had undergone the processes of slash-and-burn cultivation, spreading ash, and fertilizing.

With a rake slung over his right shoulder, Xu Changqing smiled contentedly at the fruits of his labor: “Once Old Zhao finishes sending down the magical rain, I can start a new round of planting.”

Then, he turned around and went to the ditch, where he put the rake, which was covered in dust and excrement, in to wash it a little.

Only after ensuring that no residue was visible on the outside was it placed into another small storage bag.

Then they walked towards the wooden house and began preparing lunch.

About half an hour later, Zhao Ziyue’s voice rang out from outside: “Old Xu.”

Hearing the noise, Xu Changqing came out of the house with two slices of watermelon in his hand: “You’ve finally arrived.”

Zhao Ziyue immediately explained, “I was late because I went fishing in a river that was quite far away this time.”

Xu Changqing approached the other person, handed them a slice of watermelon, and asked, “Did you catch any fish this time?”

Zhao Ziyue took the watermelon, chuckled, and said proudly, “A small crucian carp!”

“Uh…” Xu Changqing was speechless for a moment.

While munching on a watermelon, Zhao Ziyue said, “By the way, I heard from other fishermen that Black Dragon Pool seems to be safe now, and the fish demon hasn’t appeared for a long time.”

Xu Changqing knew the reason, but pretended not to know and said, “Isn’t it great? We can fish for dragonfish without worry.”

Zhao Ziyue nodded in deep agreement: “That’s what I was thinking too. When shall the three of us go to Black Dragon Pool again?”

Xu Changqing took a step back and laughed, “I probably don’t have time to spend with you.”

Zhao Ziyue exclaimed “Eh?” and asked curiously, “What do you mean?”

Xu Changqing pointed to the two acres of Grade 2 spirit fields in front of him and said, “As you can see, I have to cultivate these two acres of spirit fields now, so I don’t have time to go fishing.”

Most importantly, he caught all the arowanas himself.

Going to Black Dragon Pool is a complete waste of time and pointless.

“That’s true.” Zhao Ziyue nodded slightly.

Xu Changqing continued, “Moreover, I am currently cooperating with a senior alchemist at the Alchemy Pavilion, and I will be providing them with medicinal herbs in the future, so I am even more tied up with him.”

to continue reading the exciting content!

Zhao Ziyue’s eyes widened upon hearing this: “A high-level alchemist?!”

Although I don’t have a deep understanding of elixirs.

However, the reason he was able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Pill was because of it, so he knew how powerful advanced alchemists were.

Unexpectedly, after only a few days, Xu Changqing has actually reached a cooperation agreement with a senior alchemist. Does this mean that he can now buy pills through back channels?

The two chatted for a while until they finished the watermelon.

Then, Zhao Ziyue began to cast the [Minor Cloud Rain Technique].

Xu Changqing reminded him, “Later, please send more spiritual rain to the second newly added spiritual field on the right. The nutrients in the black soil are still too low.”

Zhao Ziyue nodded: “No problem.”

After he finished, he left immediately.

I’m planning to meet with Hu Bugui to discuss going fishing at Black Dragon Pool.

After all, it’s a well-known saying in Spirit Beast Valley that as long as you catch a dragonfish, you can become the apprentice of that Golden Core stage fisherman.

Whether it’s him or Hu Bugui, if they succeed, they won’t need to participate in the formal disciple competition.

I am well aware of my own capabilities.

Even if you participate, you’ll be eliminated after a few rounds.

After all, even Lan Tian, the top official disciple of the Imperial Water Pavilion, has now fallen to seventh place on the pre-competition rankings.

It’s easy to imagine how fierce the competition will be in next year’s formal disciple competition.

Even genius disciples can fail, so the outcome for ordinary, formal disciples is predictable.

Watching their departing figures, Xu Changqing grinned and said, “You guys go fishing, you’ll catch one and not make a sound!!!”
