I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1266: Chapter 696 Five Elements Cultivation_2 Chapter 1266: Chapter 696 Five Elements Cultivation_2 “Good, good, good, with this method, the Dari Purple Rice that originally takes thirty years to mature can now be reduced to fifteen years.”

Chen Mobai, having heard this, was overjoyed as well.

In this way, the one thousand and five hundred acres of Spirit Field they had opened up at Liu Jia Mountain would, after fifteen years, be able to yield a hundred acres of Rank-3 Dari Purple Rice year after year without interruption.

Even if they didn’t sell it, they could consume it internally.

After all, the Divine Wood Sect now had nine Golden Core Cultivators, if they pressed down on Zhou Ye, that’d be eight, spreading out to 1250 catties per person.

After inspecting the Spirit Field Spirit Rice of Liu Jia Mountain, Chen Mobai followed Zhuo Ming to a Rank-3 Spirit Vein a hundred miles away.

Here was an oasis known as Cangshan Lake.

Originally an annex of Liu Jia Mountain, Zhuo Ming had transformed all the Spirit Veins here into Spirit Fields, planting a new hybrid developed from crossing Dari Purple Rice with Jade Bud Rice.

After the master and disciple pair landed, they immediately got into the fields, evaluating the vitality and robust growth of each seedling.

Luo Yixuan, who had been following all along, pretended to be very interested, tagging along behind them, nodding from time to time.

Zhuo Ming said, “Based on the current observations, this new rice variety seems like a weakened version of Dari Purple Rice, which requires not only the absorption of Spirit Qi, Earth Qi, and moisture, but also abundant Solar Essence to grow properly.”

Chen Mobai added, “In my experience, this new rice variety should precisely be Rank-3 lower-grade by maturity, which is very suitable for widespread cultivation in environments like that of Rainbow Country.”

Back in his studying days, Chen Mobai was first in Agricultural Studies, the only one of all his firsts that he didn’t cheat in, and it was always a source of pride.

Within the Immortal Gates, there were many methods for determining the future grade of Spirit Rice before it matures.

Although there might be a little discrepancy in the end, the approximation is generally very close.

Chen Mobai recalled this knowledge that he hadn’t used in a long time and reached a conclusion that delighted Zhuo Ming immensely.

Zhuo Ming exclaimed, “That’s wonderful, this lower-grade Rank-3 Spirit Rice will be perfect for Foundation Establishment Practitioners to consume; upon being widely cultivated in the future, it could greatly enhance our sect’s power.”

Chen Mobai commended, “Ming’er, your contribution is profound; centuries from now, every cultivator in the sect who gets to taste this Spirit Rice will owe you gratitude.”

After hearing this, Zhuo Ming blushed with a bashful smile, and then she didn’t forget to ask Chen Mobai to bestow a name upon this new variety of Rank-3 Spirit Rice.

“Let’s name it Purple Jade Rice.”

Chen Mobai decided that henceforth, the core Spirit Rice researched by the Xiao Nanshan Lineage would all be named with “Jade”.

From the original Jade Bud, Jade Bamboo, to Qing Jade, and now, Purple Jade.

He hoped that in the future they might also develop a fourth-rank Spirit Rice suitable for widespread cultivation in the Eastern Wilderness.

As for fifth-rank Spirit Rice, Chen Mobai dared not entertain the notion.

After all, with the technology of the Immortal Gates, the highest quality Spirit Rice was the Fifth Order Immortal Rice.

This was beyond what Zhuo Ming could develop.

After having seen the Purple Jade Rice in Cangshan Lake, the master and his two disciples stayed there for a night, where there were Spirit Fish in the lake that, although with meager spiritual energy at only Rank-1, had tender flesh and crispy bones.

Luo Yixuan’s Storage Bag contained meat from Spiritual Cows and Sheep frozen with her personal cultivation technique.

In addition to these, she also took out some red willow branches of Rank-3 quality, harvested from a grove found when excavating White River.

What were considered precious materials by Qi Practitioners and Foundation Establishment Cultivators were merely used by Luo Yixuan as skewers for meat.

Chen Mobai snapped his fingers, and immediately a purple flame floated in midair.

The temperature of this flame was perfect for roasting the juices out of the red willow branches, which, when infused into the meat, not only eliminated the gaminess but also dispersed the willow’s unique fragrance into the heart of the flesh.

Chen Mobai watched as his two disciples cooked fish and roasted meat, suddenly feeling as if he had aged and was ready to enjoy his years in comfort.

However, upon further reflection, he realized he was already seventy years old – indeed an elderly man among Qi Practitioners.

After savoring the fish and meat, the master and disciples visited a sand control trial field in Rainbow Country.

Zhuo Ming had concocted a type of Spiritual Water with Tai Sui Juice, which, when dripped into the sand, endowed it with the ability to retain moisture.

Desert cultivation’s greatest fear is the lack of water.

Even if a cultivator displays the Rainfall Technique, the nature of sandy soil means that as soon as the water falls, it quickly filters away, unable to remain on the surface, causing plants to wither and fail to survive due to lack of moisture.

In the past, the solution to this problem primarily involved selecting spirit plants with particularly developed root systems or those that are drought-resistant, as well as constantly watering them.

However, after Zhuo Ming arrived, she realized that even if all the cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect were brought over, they couldn’t plant vegetation all over Rainbow Country to improve the soil.

So, before the Dark Waters had been diverted here, she thought of many methods and conducted numerous experiments.

These were all habits she had acquired in Xiao Nanshan, guided by Chen Mobai.

Finally, when Tai Sui arrived, she found the key to the solution.

Spirit Water diluted with Tai Sui Juice, when combined with sand and stone, would acquire the properties of soil, able to retain and lock in moisture without seepage. In such cases, a single use of the Rainfall Technique would be sufficient, as the water stored in the surface sand and stone would keep drought-resistant plants hydrated for months.

After cycles of green plants dying and reviving, the originally dry and desolate sandstone would begin to show greenery, grass, and microorganisms, slowly beginning to revert to actual soil.

Once the Dark Waters were diverted over in the future, flowing through all regions of Rainbow Country with enough manpower and resources, Zhuo Ming was confident that within twenty or thirty years, she could transform the desertified Rainbow Country back into green waters and lush mountains.

“Ming’er, you might just be the Heavenly Destiny sent by the heavens to save this land!”

Chen Mobai, who had been busy for years with closed-door cultivation to improve his own level and with unifying the Eastern Wilderness, hadn’t paid much attention to Zhuo Ming’s activities in Rainbow Country and truly didn’t know that she had used Tai Sui to achieve such a feat.

The more he watched Zhuo Ming, the more he felt that his disciple was extraordinary!

“It’s all thanks to Master’s excellent teaching!”

Zhuo Ming quickly waved her hands, indicating that without Chen Mobai, she might still be a mere Qi Practitioner, possibly not even having broken through the late stages of Qi Cultivation, aged and preparing for her coffin.

“Without Master, there wouldn’t be today for me and senior sister!”

Luo Yixuan finally found an opportunity to interject, immediately expressing her loyalty and gratitude to her Master.

Chen Mobai couldn’t help but laugh heartily upon hearing this.

The master and two disciples then wandered around Rainbow Country for half a month before deciding to return to Liu Jia Mountain once they felt Yin Qingmei must have mostly recovered.

“Greetings Sect Leader!”

Sure enough, Yin Qingmei was already eagerly anticipating their return!

Seeing the colorful clouds of dawn flying in the sky, she immediately flew up to greet Chen Mobai with a bow.

Chen Mobai asked her to extend her hand, and after checking her pulse, he confirmed that her essence, qi, and spirit had all returned to their peak condition, and he nodded approvingly.

Then the four of them landed beneath the Biyu Wutong at the mountain summit.

“Ming’er, go ahead.”

Chen Mobai spoke, and Zhuo Ming immediately took out the Water of Ten Thousand Transformations and began helping the Biyu Wutong level up.

While she was occupied, Chen Mobai took the opportunity to teach Luo Yixuan the Practice Together Technique.

This time, as the Biyu Wutong leveled up, he would control the process using the Practice Together Technique, allowing the three women to experience the transformation of spirit plants and the pressure of facing Heavenly Tribulation.

Among them, the process of practicing with spiritual power for Chen Mobai, Zhuo Ming, and Yin Qingmei was already well-established, only Luo Yixuan hadn’t tried it yet.

Luo Yixuan was of the water attribute, and she couldn’t directly practice with Chen Mobai; instead, they needed Yin Qingmei, of the wood attribute, to act as a conduit.

Water nourishes wood, wood nourishes fire, fire nourishes earth!

Sadly, they were missing the metal attribute to form a perfect Five Elements practice cycle.

“Saint Heir, I can simulate metal spiritual power in place of the real thing.”

Elder Ming suddenly emerged from Luo Yixuan’s shadow and spoke out.

Then it was complete!

It was the perfect opportunity to verify the speculation about the Primordial Dao Fruit!
