Chapter 883 Becoming a Farmer in the Immortal World
Xiao Han honestly worked as a farmer in the fairy world, growing spiritual rice.
The jade slips recorded the planting steps of black gold rice in great detail. Xiao Han was also from a farming family, so she did not feel confused when planting it.
Xiao Han used his spiritual power to draw lines on the ten or so acres of open space allocated by King Yu Xian, creating a field-shaped grid with a spacing of ten feet wide. Then, at each node of the lines, he used spiritual water to stir up the silt so that he could put in the grain seeds.
Although the planting jade slips did not mention soaking the seeds, Xiao Han remembered that when he was a child, his family would soak the seeds first when cultivating rice seedlings so that they would germinate faster, so he decided to add an extra soaking step.
After counting the nodes in the grid, I found that about six hundred seeds were needed.
In order not to waste seeds, she first soaked 600 seeds in a container for about two hours, and then began to stir the mud while sowing a seed.
Apart from the time it takes to cast the Rainmaking Technique to gather spiritual water, stirring and planting, these steps are actually very quick.
Xiao Han actually wanted to sow seeds in the same way she had planted rice on Blue Star when she was a child, but she had never planted spiritual grains in the fairyland, so she didn't dare to change the planting method at will.
Therefore, apart from soaking the seeds, follow the steps in the jade slips honestly.
The rice has been planted, and all that remains is to wait for it to germinate and undergo subsequent management.
Xiao Han looked at the dozens of grain seeds remaining in the storage bag and was wondering whether he needed to hand them in when Immortal King Yu appeared in the medicine garden.
Seeing the ethereal, cool and handsome man squatting in the field, carefully checking the planting of grain seeds, Xiao Han felt that the scene was very incongruous.
That feeling is probably what fans feel when they see their idol swearing and their filters are shattered.
When Yu Lao saw that the seeds were sown according to the planting method, he was immediately satisfied.
He then asked, "How much grain is left?"
Xiao Han handed him the storage bag honestly.
Yu Luo took a quick look and found that there were still dozens of seeds. After thinking about it, he decided to let Xiao Han know the benefits of black gold rice.
Dozens of fist-sized grains of rice were suspended in the air. With a wave of Yu Luo's sleeves, the outer shells of these ancient bells were removed, revealing the light black rice grains with golden light inside.
Yu Lao first collected the shelled rice grains, then took out an ancient small tripod, poured in spiritual water, threw five grains of rice in, and then popped out spiritual fire.
The flames enveloped the small tripod, and soon, a strange rice fragrance wafted out from the small tripod.
When he smelled the fragrance, Xiao Han couldn't help but swallow. For the first time, he felt hungry despite having abundant spiritual power.
When Yu Luo saw her swallowing, a smug smile appeared on his lips.
Thinking back to the first time he smelled the aroma of black gold rice, even he, an Immortal King, felt a surge of appetite. But how could Xiao Han, who was only at the Golden Immortal realm, resist it?
Soon, Yu Lao collected the spiritual fire, wrapped a light black bun-like object with his spiritual power, and presented it to Xiao Han.
"This is a reward for you. Try it. After eating it, you will know how to grow these spiritual grains well."
Xiao Han took it, saw the steaming rice bun, blew on it subconsciously, and then took a bite.
It tasted better than any spiritual rice she had ever eaten before.
The unique taste and aroma of this grain are completely different from those of spiritual fruits, giving the body a strange sense of satisfaction.
Bite by bite, she quickly finished eating the cooked rice bun.
A strange feeling of energy and fullness made her feel extremely comfortable.
Not only that, one can even clearly feel the spiritual energy contained in it being absorbed by the body and entering the dantian without any refining.
King Yu Xian also finished eating a grain of black gold rice and then put the rest away.
He knew very well that letting Xiao Han taste the flavor but not being able to eat enough, that feeling of lacking something would be more tempting.
Looking at Xiao Han who was still unsatisfied, Yu Xianwang knew that his goal had been achieved.
Little did he know that in Xiao Han's heart, the filter of him as the superior Immortal King had been shattered.
Immortal King Yu carefully chose his words and spoke slowly, "Ever since those who cultivate immortality discovered that spiritual energy can sustain the body's energy needs, they have all practiced fasting, believing that this is the way to resemble an immortal. But in reality, mortals rely on food to maintain their bodily functions, which means that the energy contained in food is what the body needs.
Spiritual energy may seem like a substitute for food, maintaining bodily functions, but it's actually just a single, high-quality food. If combined with the food originally bestowed upon you by the Creator, you'll find it beneficial to your cultivation.
Yu Lao wanted to explain his insights after consuming the spiritual grains in a simple and straightforward way so that Xiao Han could understand. However, he felt that he might not have expressed himself clearly, and he was not sure if Xiao Han understood.
But Xiao Han really understood it.
According to Xiao Han's understanding, eating some high-level spiritual rice and whole grains from time to time would make the nutrition more balanced and the body healthier.
Translated into the terminology of monks, it means it is more beneficial to spiritual practice.
She bowed sincerely to Immortal King Yu and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Immortal King. I understand. Don't worry, I will carefully cultivate these spiritual grains."
Yu Lao was finally satisfied. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
He pointed at the entire medicine garden and said, "Since you will be living in the medicine garden in the future, the management of the spiritual herbs here will also be handed over to you. When you leave, you will have your own benefits."
After saying that, he took out another jade slip and threw it to Xiao Han.
The jade slips record the characteristics of the various herbs in the medicine garden and how to care for them.
After Yu Xianwang left, Xiao Han began to look for a place to stay.
There was a small open space in the corner of the medicine garden. Xiao Han settled the magic weapon house here and settled down in the medicine garden completely.
Croton was released and assigned the task of catching insects.
Badou not only had no complaints about this job, but he was very happy doing it.
When it lived in Qianfu City, it could only fly around and play alone on the big tree outside the cave rented by Xiao Han.
Although the area of the medicine garden is not very large, it has flowers, trees, various weeds, various flying insects, bees and butterflies.
Because of the rich spiritual energy, the insects here taste especially delicious. It can play and find food, and its life is happier than before.
Xiao Han used his spiritual power to pull up all the weeds in the medicine garden by their roots and piled them aside.
Then she suddenly remembered the time when she first entered the world of immortal cultivation, when she was pulling weeds in Fuyuan City and earned fifty spirit beads a day.
Although she is only pulling weeds, she has probably transitioned from manual labor to mechanization.
Just thinking about it, she has been practicing for more than a thousand years, and now she is back to her life of weeding and farming, it really makes people feel a lot of emotion.
