I estimate the yield to be around six hundred and fifty pounds per acre,”

Lin Cheng said proudly.

From seeding, watering to harvesting, he had done it all.

Shen Long disabled the protection spell, pushed the door open, and entered, followed by Lin Cheng.

The Spirit Field was filled with rice stalks taller than a man, each stalk bearing an abundance of plump, silver grain heads, and the air was thick with the rich scent of rice.

“Junior Brother Lin, thank you for your hard work,”

Shen Long said.

“It’s not trouble, Senior Brother Shen, just watch from the side while I harvest the Spirit Rice,”

Lin Cheng replied.

“No need for that, I trust you.

Once you’ve harvested the Spirit Rice, just call me.

I’m going to go inside and read,”

Shen Long brewed a pot of tea for Lin Cheng and then walked into Qingmei Pavilion.

He came to a secret room, shut the stone door behind him, and entered the Spirit Control Tower.

A crisp and resonant chirping sounded as a snow-white peacock flew over, which was the Snow Wind Sparrow.

Shen Long whistled, and with a light flap of the Snow Wind Sparrow’s wings, more than a dozen foot-long white ice blades shot out, hurtling straight toward Shen Long.

Shen Long stepped back, avoiding the barrage of white Ice Cones.

Soon after, another set of white Ice Cones shot toward him, as the Snow Wind Sparrow itself swooped in for an attack.

A thick blue water screen materialized close to him, enveloping his entire body in protection.

The several white Ice Cones struck the blue water screen one after another, sending ripples across the screen, but leaving it otherwise unharmed.

The Snow Wind Sparrow’s talons hit the blue water screen, causing it to dent inward.

It opened its beak and exhaled a gust of white frost, which hit the blue water screen and instantly turned it to a layer of white ice.

With a downward pressure of its talons, the white ice screen cracked all over.

Sensing something, Shen Long’s palm struck toward his Storage Bag, and the Snow Wind Sparrow, realizing something, flapped its wings and rapidly ascended into the sky.

Shen Long nodded in satisfaction and withdrew his hand.

He hadn’t spared any effort in training the Snow Wind Sparrow in combat during this period, and the results were not bad.

He raised his right hand and lightly tapped the ground.

The Snow Wind Sparrow descended from the heavens, landing before Shen Long with a gust of cold wind rushing toward him.

Shen Long deactivated the Xuan Water Shield, and the Snow Wind Sparrow let out a joyful chirp, rubbing its head against Shen Long’s pants leg like a child playing up to their parents.

Shen Long stroked its head and took out a Spirit Feeding Pill, feeding it to the Snow Wind Sparrow.

After consuming the Spirit Feeding Pill, the Snow Wind Sparrow chirped with pleasure, flapped its wings, and soared into the sky, circling above Shen Long’s head non-stop, clearly very excited.

Shen Long released the Iron Tail Scorpion.

After eating the corpses of five first-stage Twin-Tailed Scorpions, it didn’t mutate, which was within Shen Long’s expectations.

Mutated Spirit Insects would be everywhere if mutations were that easy.

He took out the corpse of a Twin-Tailed Scorpion which had a bowl-sized hole in its head, indicating it was a middle-stage first-tier creature.

Every once in a while, Qin Bao and the others went out to hunt Monster Beasts, and Shen Long bought their scorpion corpses.

He also needed to buy Spirit Feeding Pills to feed the Fire Rock Beast, the Iron Tail Scorpion, and the Snow Wind Sparrow.

As a result, the Spirit Stones in Shen Long’s Storage Bag rapidly diminished, leaving him with just over one thousand seven hundred.

Neither Sun Sen nor Qian Dafu had any good job leads for him, so Shen Long had to rely on himself, occasionally going to Free Trade Valley to look around, hoping to find a bargain and earn some Spirit Stones.

The Iron Tail Scorpion quickly devoured the Twin-Tailed Scorpion’s corpse, emanating an excited hissing sound.

Initially, it had struggled to consume corpses of first-stage Twin-Tailed Scorpions, taking half a month to recover.

Now, it no longer cared and, in fact, savored the bodies of first-tier poisonous scorpions.

Shen Long took out a strand of black grass, the twenty-year-old Ink Mustard Grass, which contained potent poison.

In addition to the corpses of first-tier poisonous scorpions, consuming toxic herbs and medicines could also increase the mutation rate for the Iron Tail Scorpion.

After the Iron Tail Scorpion ate the Ink Mustard Grass, it scuttled around Shen Long.

Shen Long also fed it a Spirit Feeding Pill, then stored it back in the Spirit Beast Bag.

He released the Fire Rock Beast and the Gold Ant to feed them and then left the Spirit Control Tower.

When Shen Long exited Qingmei Pavilion, Lin Cheng had already completed the harvest, filling seven white rice bags.

“Senior Brother Shen, I weighed it, and there’s a total of two thousand and seventy-five pounds.

A great harvest!

As you said, each of the five rice bags contains two hundred pounds, and the remainder is in the other two bags,”

Lin Cheng said, pointing to the seven white rice bags with pride.

Shen Long took out twenty Spirit Stones and handed them to Lin Cheng, saying, “You’ve worked hard these past three years, Junior Brother Lin.

This is a little token of my appreciation.”

“Senior Brother Shen, you’re being too formal.

We agreed that you would instruct Shan’er in his Art Technique practice.

He has now cultivated his Ice Cone Technique to Great Perfection.

How could I possibly accept your Spirit Stones?”

Lin Cheng declined.

“Just take it.

I want to switch to planting Spirit Peaches.

When the time comes, I’ll need your help, and we can sign a contract and agree on the compensation,”

Shen Long insisted.

“Once acquainted, it’s easier the next time.

There’s no need to go to such lengths.

Leave it to me.

You instruct Shan’er in his Art Technique practice, and I’ll help you with the cultivation of Spirit Peaches,”

Lin Cheng said earnestly.

“I’ve already agreed to instruct Junior Brother Lin in Art Technique practice.

Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll give you five Spirit Stones each month.

If the yield and quality of the Spirit Peaches are high, I’ll have additional rewards for you.

In short, if you take good care of the Spirit Peach trees, I won’t let you down,”

Shen Long continued, preferring to settle any debts with Spirit Stones rather than owing personal favors.

Lin Cheng listened and had no objections, agreeing to the terms.

After chatting for a few more moments, Lin Cheng took his leave.

Shen Long took out a Messaging Plate to contact Qian Dafu and asked him to come to Qingmei Courtyard.

Before long, Qian Dafu arrived.
