I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 79: Chapter 78: Five Elements Eight Extremes Array

Transform the eleven mu of middle grade spirit field to plant a type of easy-to-care-for, hardy spirit plant that doesn’t require frequent attention. In this way, Li Mu only needs to visit Little Liang Mountain every ten days or so, allowing him to focus most of his energy on the hundred mu spirit fields in Cyan Dragon Valley.

After watering the Wind Spirit Grass, Li Mu walked to the half-mu seedling field, observing the hundreds of Tier One and Tier Two spirit plants with decent growth, selecting suitable ones to be planted in Little Liang Mountain.

[Ice Spirit Grass (Seedling Stage)]

[Grade: Tier One Spirit Plant]

[Attribute: Ice Spirit Qi, Refreshing.]

[Status: Lacking Ice Spirit Qi, growth is slow.]

[Ice Spirit Grass, Growth Requirements: Abundant Ice Spirit Qi, Spiritual soil, five years to mature, fifty years to promote to Tier Two Ice Mist Spirit Grass, one hundred and fifty years to promote to Ice Crystal Spirit Grass, five-year-old Ice Spirit Grass is one of the main ingredients for refining Linglong Pill.]

[Blood Reishi]

[Grade: Tier One Spirit Plant]

[Attribute: Blood Fortification, body strengthening, sweet reishi flesh]

[Status: Lacking blood coagulation nourishment, growing extremely slowly.]

[Blood Reishi, Growth Requirements: Adequate blood coagulation nourishment, spiritual soil, three years to mature, fifty years medicinal age, promotes to Purple Blood Reishi, three-year-old Blood Reishi is one of the main ingredients for refining: Blood Recovery Pill, Essence Body Pill.]

[Yellow Spirit Ginseng]

[Grade: Tier One Spirit Plant]

...

Where Li Mu’s gaze fell, each spirit plant’s attributes and status were displayed one by one within the character’s virtual frame, aided by the innate divine power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits.

Compared to the maturity time of Tier One Spirit Plants, Tier Two Spirit Plants have a maturity span ranging from ten years to a hundred years, with more growth environment requirements.

However, the time span is too long, and it’s uncertain what kind of attributes they will have upon maturity.

Nevertheless, after harvesting the Wind Spirit Grass, Cui Ling Fruit, and White Jade Spirit Rice, Li Mu can confidently assert one thing: the attributes provided by spirit plants are most likely related to their attributes.

The attributes of Cui Ling Fruit relate to enhancing the divine soul, and its spirit plant light group increases divine soul points. White Jade Spirit Rice’s attributes relate to boosting spiritual power, and its spirit plant light group provides cultivation points, ..., with Ice Spirit Grass, a spirit plant with a ’refreshing’ attribute, its spirit plant light group could potentially enhance enlightenment, divine soul, Ice-type Strange Spirit Root, while Blood Reishi’s spirit plant light group is undoubtedly related to blood qi and bloodline attributes.

The maturity period should be short, easy to cultivate, without special environmental requirements, and provide good plant spirit attributes, ..., Li Mu couldn’t find a suitable spirit plant for a while.

Eventually, Li Mu’s vision settled on a spirit plant about chopstick-length, straight like a sword, with a cyan green color, leaves resembling jade, and threads of mist swirling around it.

[Cloud Mist Spirit Tea (Seedling Stage)]

[Grade: Tier Two Spirit Plant]

[Attribute: Strong soul and spirit fortification, warm body and awaken divinity.]

[Status: Seedling stage, lacking Cloud Mist Dew Qi, growth is poor.]

[Cloud Mist Spirit Tea: Can be planted in a middle grade spirit field, Growth Requirements: Sufficient fertility, spiritual soil, an environment filled with Cloud Mist Spirit Dew, six years to mature, two years to bloom, two years to fruit. The buds grown during the maturity period can be processed into Cloud Mist Spirit Tea, consuming this tea fortifies the divine soul and enhances enlightenment.]

Looking at the attributes of Cloud Mist Spirit Tea, Li Mu hesitated, after careful selection, this spirit plant seems most suitable to be planted in Little Liang Mountain.

The Cloud Mist Spirit Dew environment can be resolved by setting up an array, and frequent Spirit Rain watering is unnecessary. After planting eleven mu of spirit field with Cloud Mist Spirit Tea, Li Mu only needs to visit Little Liang Mountain every ten days or so, to inspect, remove pests, and water, making the cultivation very convenient.

The only drawback is the long growth period, with a maturity period of six years plus the blooming and fruiting stages, taking ten years altogether.

Moreover, Cloud Mist Spirit Tea is a Tier Two Spirit Plant, and its seeds are hard to obtain. Once planted, what plant spirit attributes can be extracted remains unclear.

For now, Li Mu decided to plant Cloud Mist Spirit Tea, noting down to check Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion for seeds, and if unavailable, to consider other options! After much contemplation, Li Mu made this decision and committed to acquiring a large quantity of Cloud Mist Spirit Tea seeds.

Then, Li Mu returned to the courtyard and retrieved the Profound Feathered Eagle’s carcass from the storage bag, beginning to dissect and process it.

Plucking feathers, skinning, dismembering the carcass, disjointing and deboning, ..., it seemed like butchering a Colorful Spirit Chicken magnified several dozen times, a somewhat bloody scene, but Li Mu’s hands were quick, methodical, and efficient.

Approximately half an hour later, Li Mu successfully disassembled the Profound Feathered Eagle’s carcass, obtaining several hundred jin of Tier Two Demon Beast Meat. Selling it at the market wasn’t appropriate; consuming it himself would not finish it in a short time; marinating Tier Two Demon Beast Meat seemed too wasteful, so Li Mu stored them directly in the storage bag, planning to build an ice cellar to preserve them.

Li Mu had reserved a room in Cyan Dragon Valley’s stone house specifically for constructing an ice cellar storage room, and now it was necessary to set it up in advance to store this demon beast meat.

After processing the Profound Feathered Eagle carcass, Li Mu continuously cast the Dust Cleaning Technique and began cleaning the ’battlefield’, eliminating lingering bloodstains in the courtyard.

After tidying the courtyard, he drew out a Profound Iron Sword from the storage bag, took to controlling the sword, and headed for Qingping Town.

Obtaining several hundred jin of Tier Two Demon Beast Meat reminded Li Mu of a forgotten matter. Previously, at a meat stall selling demon beast meat, he had spotted an Ancient Rong Wood Heart by luck, yet another piece of ’cutting board’ he hadn’t purchased!

Puppet source cores refined from Tier Three Ancient Rong Wood Hearts are very effective, and Li Mu didn’t want to miss out on the other Ancient Rong Wood Heart Cutting Board. He acted immediately, controlling his sword and flying towards Qingping Town.

...

Qingping Town.

Li Mu changed clothes and donned an Exquisite Mask, appearing with a different image, pausing in front of a stall selling demon beast meat, watching the butcher slice meat.
