"It's you."
The black-faced steward showed a look of surprise. He obviously had not forgotten that Xu Chunniang was the one who refused the offer to be recruited as an inner disciple.
He frowned and glanced at the jade slip in his hand.
"Growing spiritual rice is not an easy task. It requires careful cultivation every day. With your spiritual energy, you are not suitable for this task. I advise you not to accept it.
The only thing that is suitable for you may be the commission of taking care of monsters, but taking care of monsters is not as easy as you think, you must be familiar with the habits of monsters. "
Xu Chunniang knew that if she revealed her true level of cultivation, which was the fifth level of Qi training, the steward would certainly not say anything more.
But if he asked her why her cultivation improved so quickly, and she replied that it was a sudden enlightenment, would he believe it
The fifth level of Qi training seemed powerful, but compared with the ninth level of Qi training, it was far inferior. People didn't even need to lift a finger to deal with her.
Xu Chunniang's original intention of concealing her cultivation level was not to attract attention, and it is fine as it is now.
"But I want to give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll try something else."
Seeing Xu Chunniang insisted, the black-faced steward shook his head and stopped persuading her.
In fact, many times, the monk has no way out. She thinks that if the commission is not completed well, there will be a chance to change to another one.
But she didn't think about how difficult her situation would be when she was heavily in debt five years later.
Xu Chunniang had no idea what the black-faced manager was thinking. After successfully accepting the commission, she walked out of the commission hall.
All her things were on her, and there was nothing to pack, so she might as well go directly to Lingtian!
After Xu Chunniang took out the map and determined the direction, she walked towards Lingzhi Peak.
It took half a day to reach the foot of Lingzhi Peak.
The entire Lingzhi Peak is covered with spiritual fields, scattered here and there in an irregular pattern.
In some places, spiritual energy is abundant, with dozens of spiritual fields connected together; in some places, it is relatively barren, with only one or two sparse spiritual fields.
There is a small wooden house next to each spiritual field, which is used by the disciples who look after the spiritual fields. There are numbers written on the wooden houses, which look like they are numbered.
All spiritual fields are protected by a layer of formation, and only those holding the corresponding formation talisman can enter. This is to protect the spiritual fields and crops from being damaged.
Most of these spiritual fields were planted with spiritual rice, and only a few were bare. In addition, the owners of some spiritual fields activated the shielding function of the formation, making it difficult to see what was going on inside.
Xu Chunniang had a rough idea in her mind that these spiritual fields planted with spiritual rice had already had owners, so she was afraid that she could only choose those bare spiritual fields.
We walked all the way to the top of the mountain and finally found Manager Sun, who was in charge of the distribution of spiritual fields.
When he saw someone coming, he was happy at first, but after feeling Xu Chunniang's cultivation level, he frowned again.
"Qi training level three, what's going on? Are you just passing by?"
Xu Chunniang shook her head and handed over the token, "I received the commission to plant the spiritual field."
Manager Sun rolled his eyes, took the token with some dissatisfaction, and found that she had actually accepted the commission.
"Since you have accepted the commission, please choose a spiritual field."
As he spoke, he took out a blueprint that included the spiritual fields of the entire Spiritual Plant Peak.
Those that are lit with white light have been picked, and those that are gray have not been picked.
Xu Chunniang took a careful look around and it was not difficult to see that the best locations had been picked up, and the only ones left were inferior spiritual fields, which were also distributed in remote areas.
Since they were all similar, she simply picked the most remote one, the spiritual field numbered 172.
After registering her, the steward handed her half a pound of spiritual rice as seeds and a strangely shaped spiritual weapon, while giving her careful instructions.
“Spiritual rice can be planted twice a year. Here are the seeds, which will only be distributed when you accept the first commission. After that, you have to figure it out on your own.
Planting spiritual rice is no small matter. Every day you have to use the spiritual rain technique to water it and the soil moistening technique to increase the spiritual energy of the spiritual soil.
This is a low-grade spiritual tool, specially used to collect spiritual rice. You will have to recycle it after you complete the commission. If it is damaged or lost, 100 contribution points will be deducted directly. Oh, and there is also a formation talisman—"
The steward grabbed a bag, took out the array talisman with the number 172 written on it, and handed it to Xu Chunniang.
“You can use this to open the protection array of the spiritual field, inject spiritual energy and use it.
Remember to come to me every six months to deliver the spiritual rice. If you have a large output, I will buy it at the price of one spiritual stone for two kilograms.
But you are a novice, and you are at the initial stage of Qi training. I am afraid that the first two or three years will be…"
The steward shook his head and looked very pessimistic about Xu Chunniang.
Xu Chunniang took the things, nodded at the manager, and without saying anything more, walked towards the spiritual field.
The location of Lingtian No. 172 was very remote, and it took Xu Chunniang an hour to reach her destination.
Looking around, there is only this one spiritual field in this vast area. You can imagine how barren this area is.
There is a lonely wooden house standing next to the spiritual field. It is located within the formation and the wooden house is as perfect as new.
Xu Chunniang used the formation talisman to open the formation and walked in, carefully examining the spiritual field.
The spiritual energy in the spiritual field was quite sufficient. She secretly compared it with the spiritual soil and found that the spiritual energy content in the spiritual field was only about one tenth of that in the spiritual soil.
But the entire spiritual field has this level of spiritual energy content, which is many times larger than the spiritual soil. It is barely enough to grow spiritual rice.
After checking the spiritual field, Xu Chunniang did not rush to sow seeds, but went into the small wooden house next to it first.
Because of the protection of the formation, the cabin looks very clean, without even much dust.
The furnishings in the house were very simple. Apart from a bed and a set of tables and chairs, there was nothing else.
Xu Chunniang nodded with satisfaction. Although it was a bit simple, it was livable. This would be her residence for the next five years.
The house looks clean, but no one has lived in it for a while, so it should be cleaned up a bit.
"Spiritual energy turns into rain."
As Xu Chunniang finished speaking, it began to rain throughout the house, densely filling every corner.
If other people saw this scene, they would definitely not understand and think that Xu Chunniang was wasting her spiritual energy.
After all, it's just flushing the house, so you can just fetch water from the well outside the house. It would be great to use the spiritual energy to irrigate the spiritual fields.
But Xu Chunniang didn't think so. Although fetching water from the well saved spiritual energy, it was too slow. It would be better to use this time to practice.
Moreover, it is just a spiritual rain technique, it really doesn’t require much spiritual power.
Looking at the newly renovated cabin, Xu Chunniang smiled slightly, left the cabin and went to the edge of the spiritual field.
She did not sow seeds directly, but instead used the spiritual rain technique.
With her current level of cultivation, casting the Spirit Rain Technique is just a matter of raising her hand.
However, after only performing the spell twice, Xu Chunniang stopped using the Spiritual Rain Technique and switched to the Soil Moisturizing Technique.
She stood in the center of the spiritual field, transforming the spiritual energy in her body into pure earth spiritual energy, and continuously transporting it downwards.
After three quarters of the spiritual energy in her body was consumed, Xu Chunniang stopped, took out the half pound of seeds given by the steward from the storage bag, and gently scattered them.
Each seed of the spiritual rice is plump, crystal clear, and almost three times the size of rice in the mortal world.
Looking at the newly planted magical rice, Xu Chunniang seemed to be thinking about something.
She had tried to cast Spring Birth on multiple targets at the same time. At that time, she could only condense three strands of pure wood spirit energy at the same time.
I wonder how much wood spiritual energy Xu Chunniang can condense at the same time after these two years
