I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 33: Chapter 24: Abundant Harvests

The heavy snow stopped, and the sky cleared up.

Jiang Yuebai didn’t know the source of the snowstorm, and no one had the time to investigate. Everyone was still busy handling the aftermath in the fields.

Jiang Yuebai originally had work, but she accidentally killed all of Tao Fengnian’s seedlings, so she had nothing to do.

Tao Fengnian didn’t blame her, just told her to go back and rest early.

Repairing spiritual medicine requires a spell of at least the third level, which Jiang Yuebai couldn’t help with.

However, since everyone else was working, she felt embarrassed to go back alone, so she took a nap under the old locust tree and sorted out her gains over the past day and night.

Apart from the Spirit Stones she used, she had 67 pieces left. Unless there was an emergency, she absolutely wouldn’t use them again; they were too luxurious.

Once grandpa finished his work, he would take her to Nangu Market, the largest cultivator market at the border of the Cang and Yun Two Countries, to buy a Talismanic Pen and Talismanic Paper to start learning Talisman Making.

To become an Array Master, one must enter through talismans into arrays.

Besides the harvest of Spirit Stones, what surprised her most was her Sea of Consciousness. When she calmed herself and looked inward at her Sea of Consciousness, she saw a vibrant three-leaf wheat seedling full of life.

Strangely, above the seedling, three snowflakes floated persistently, coexisting without affecting each other.

Jiang Yuebai read in the Library that different methods of training the Divine Sense result in different visions within the Sea of Consciousness.

For example, Star Refining God makes the Sea of Consciousness like a starry sky, while Fiery Flame Refining God makes it like a sea of fire; they’re all different.

In the Cultivation Realm, cultivators complement spiritual energy cultivation with the Divine Sense, but their understanding of the Divine Sense is not as deep as that of demons and ghosts.

Demons and ghosts primarily cultivate the Divine Sense; they don’t need hand techniques for assistance. With a thought, they can draw on the Heaven and Earth Primordial Power and natural power to form spells and divine skills.

Divine Sense also has different attributes, but cultivators are not as naturally endowed as demons and ghosts, making it difficult to cultivate attributes.

Even if they succeed, it’s hard to unleash great power, so most cultivate the attributeless Star Refining God Method.

Jiang Yuebai, by mistake, opened her Sea of Consciousness inside a spiritual grain seedling, and its attributes were influenced, gaining Wood and Ice Attributes.

Jiang Yuebai was very troubled, not knowing what kind of Divine Sense Method to find to continue cultivating these two attributes of the Divine Sense.

”Let’s take it one step at a time; as long as any attribute of Divine Sense doesn’t affect object control, it’s fine.”

Jiang Yuebai slightly frowned, focusing on the glazed bottle in her hands, which vibrated slightly and slowly floated out of her hands, wobbling from side to side.

Inside, the Ice Armor Beetle King lay feet up, seemingly dead.

Had she not memorized the Marvels Record, she might have fallen for the Insect King’s trick; playing dead is the characteristic of the Ice Armor Beetle King.

The Ice Armor Beetle King is listed among Ninth-Grade Strange Insects; it can be trained with a cultivator’s Divine Sense to use its ice armor for defense and attack.

And this Insect King was clearly peculiar. She planned to return and study it with grandpa.

After storing the glazed bottle, Jiang Yuebai looked at her Immortal Cultivation Panel.

[Cultivation Technique]

Five Elements Returning to Truth Technique Qi Cultivation Chapter (Third Layer: 36/1000)

[Spell]

Sharpness Technique (Second Layer: 498/1000)

Grass and Wood Technique (First Layer: 35/100)

Cloud Rain Technique (First Layer: 40/100)

Red Flame Technique (First Layer: 5/100)

Earth-Shaking Technique (First Layer: 5/100)

[Martial Arts]

Chasing Star Step (Small Success: 390/1000)

Wood Cutting Blade Method (Small Success: 997/1000)

Both the Cultivation Technique, Grass and Wood Technique, and Cloud Rain Technique have improved, but the greatest improvement is in the Sharpness Technique.

The Second Layer’s cultivation progress reached halfway directly. Originally, if she did nothing but cultivate the Sharpness Technique, it would take at least ten days to reach halfway; now, it was completed in a day and night.

Indeed, Spirit Stones are useful!

”If only I had a Spiritual Ore.”

Jiang Yuebai fantasized for a moment. Currently, the skill level of the Sharpness Technique’s progress is extremely slow; she needed to release it ten to twenty times for a slight improvement, feeling stuck at a bottleneck.

This was something she hadn’t anticipated before; it requires patience and cannot be rushed.

Besides that, the biggest improvement was in the Wood Cutting Blade Method, only 3 points short of reaching Great Success.

The Great Achievement Realm can generate Inner Strength, integrating techniques with power, unleashing Sword Aura capable of hurting others from a distance.

In the Mortal World, without the nourishment of spiritual energy, many people struggle to reach Great Success in their entire lives.

In the Cultivation Realm, cultivators practicing martial arts can reach Great Success within a year and a half to three to five years for simple martial arts.

The gap between cultivators and mortals is truly insurmountable.

Retracting her consciousness, Jiang Yuebai saw Lv Ying standing nearby with a food box, staring at her.

She straightened up, ready to speak, but Lv Ying snorted ’liar’ and turned to leave.

Jiang Yuebai chased after her to block her, ”Why are you calling me a liar?”

Lv Ying glared, ”How are you not a liar? Pretending to be less talented than me despite your high cultivation, I worried daily about your cultivation, fearing people would look down on you. You didn’t treat me as a friend! When I taught you, were you silently laughing at me showing off?”

Jiang Yuebai retorted, ”I did hide some things, but I never laughed at you. You’re my first good friend here; everything you taught and protected me I remember. I didn’t steal; I worked hard to improve my cultivation and learn spells. Is that wrong?”

Lv Ying was at a loss for words but couldn’t shake her frustration.

”Fine, now you’re pleased. You became Huaxi Valley’s number one, and everyone flatters you, saying you’re the most promising to become a Spiritual Cultivation Master. My previous efforts are now a joke to you!”

”What effort did you make? You’re picky about lectures in the Dharma Hall, don’t learn this or that. When I pulled you to stay, you dozed off. In the Library, you read only tales of demons and ghosts. When I asked you to study with me, you made excuses. You call that effort?”

”Jiang Yuebai! Don’t talk to me! I hate you!”

Lv Ying pushed Jiang Yuebai hard, grabbed her food box, and left. Jiang Yuebai clenched her fists, feeling wronged.

”Senior Sister Jiang, did you quarrel with Senior Sister Lv?” Shi Xiaowu stood at his field’s edge, carefully asking with a hoe in hand.

Jiang Yuebai wiped her eyes, ”Need help? I’m free right now.”

Shi Xiaowu shook his head, then sheepishly nodded upon seeing Jiang Yuebai’s stern face, ”Master told me to dig out the dead seedlings and plant new ones.”

Jiang Yuebai took a look, ”There’s no need to dig, it’s salvageable, step aside!”

Shi Xiaowu hugged his hoe and stepped back, watching Jiang Yuebai, with an air of determination, head into the field, activate the Grass and Wood Technique, draw in Wood Spirit Qi, and inject it into the withered seedlings.

She released it one after another, saving each plant progressively, without stopping or engaging with others.

In less than half an hour, among the twenty acres, except for a few completely dead seedlings, the rest were saved from the brink of death by Jiang Yuebai.

”Junior Sister Jiang is amazing; at such a young age, she has the demeanor of a master. I also have some seedlings with a breath left; I humbly request Junior Sister Jiang’s help.”

”I have some too, Junior Sister Jiang can’t just help Old Guo and not us.”

”Yes, yes, we’re all counting on Junior Sister Jiang.”

Everyone urged Jiang Yuebai to help, and she vented her frustration, refusing none, helping each person in turn, tirelessly busying herself across various spiritual fields.

Tao Fengnian, after finishing up in the medicine field, straightened up, stretched his waist and back, and saw Jiang Yuebai bustling about in the spiritual fields from afar.

A few people gathered around, chatting with arms crossed, Tao Fengnian frowned but didn’t go over to intervene.
