Chapter 72: Chapter 72: On the Eve of Leaving Seclusion, Sect’s Revenue Soars

Lu Yuanshan felt immense joy in his heart the first time he saw the mature Moon Grass upon arriving at the Medicinal Garden.

"Sect Leader, look here."

She Qingqing pointed to the top of a Moon Grass plant, introducing it carefully.

"As long as the top of the Moon Grass has sprouted a crescent-shaped bud of pea-yellow color, it indicates the Moon Grass is mature and can be harvested."

"These Moon Grass plants have all grown to a height of two inches, reaching the growth limit. We must harvest them in the next few days, or else, we will miss the optimal harvesting time, and the moons will wither and fall to the soil, losing their medicinal properties."

The harvesting of Moon Grass is similar to Spirit Rice; it must be done promptly within a few days of maturity without delay.

Upon learning the situation, Lu Yuanshan dared not hesitate any longer.

Though only a hundred Moon Grass plants were cultivated, and the resulting Moon Grass was also in this number, it wouldn’t take too long to harvest, a day would suffice, yet Lu Yuanshan couldn’t keep calm.

In a little over a month, other spirit medicines in the Medicinal Garden, such as Clear Heart Grass, Purple Cloud Reishi, and Profound Dark Grass, will also mature, and it won’t be convenient to deal with them all at once then.

Thus, on that same day, Lu Yuanshan called on She Qingqing, Li Weixiao, and the three of them worked together to harvest the hundred Moon Grass plants.

Once harvested, Moon Grass can be preserved using the Spirit Medicine Box for about three years; its shelf life is still quite long.

With the maturity of the Moon Grass, by time calculation, the great harvest of the Spirit Field is next.

The three Spiritual Peach Trees in the Medicinal Garden have also grown, and the peach blossoms have bloomed, emanating strands of refreshing peach blossom fragrance.

In just another three to four months, the spiritual peaches on them can mature.

The Spiritual Peach Tree produced by the system requires one year to mature; in the second year, it grows, and after three to four months, it bears spiritual peaches.

In these coming months, the sect will usher in a busy farming period.

First, the Spirit Field matures; little over a month past, and the Spirit Field’s harvest period arrives swiftly as expected.

With Lu Ping’s use of "Resource Optimization," the Spirit Field and Spirit Rice’s tier have elevated to Tier Two Lower Grade.

This time, once the Spirit Rice matured, be it the old Spirit Field or newly developed Spirit Field, at a glance, the spirit rice densely packed in large swathes, like a golden sea.

For harvesting the Spirit Rice, the entire sect’s members were mobilized.

Even She Qingqing came, and even the young duo of Li Weimiao and Weixiao came to help, though they weren’t taller than the Spirit Rice.

As Sect Leader, Lu Yuanshan naturally was not idle; he played a great leading role, took up the Spiritual Scythe, and went down to the fields to harvest the spirit rice with adept movements, much like an old farmer.

Though Spirit Rice upgraded to Tier Two, the variety remained Jade Crystal Rice, yet the branches and height were much more robust than last year’s Tier One Jade Crystal Rice.

The spirit rice roots and stems were a bit more laborious to harvest.

But that’s all; for cultivators using the Spiritual Scythe to harvest Spirit Rice, it doesn’t take much effort.

The harvesting lasted about six days, during which Lu Yuanshan repeatedly instructed She Qingqing to fetch Spirit Well Water and asked the cooks in the Fire Kitchen to dig up a few Cyan Jade Bamboo Shoots, providing food and drink for everyone, so none of the disciples complained about being unable to cultivate properly due to being brought here for the rice harvest.

Once the Spirit Field reaped its great harvest, Lu Yuanshan weighed the Spirit Rice’s quantity, beaming with joy immediately.

"Ancestral Blessing, this year’s Spirit Rice not only reached Tier Two but also yielded more than 6,800 jin!"

"Compared to last year’s 3,300 jin, the productivity has more than doubled!"

Upon learning of the high productivity of Spirit Rice, everyone in the sect was delighted.

This not only signifies a successful investment in the Spirit Field but also greatly increases the income derived from the Spirit Rice for the sect.

This batch of Spirit Rice can profit around 2100 spirit stones.

The sect becoming better and better is something everyone is pleased to see.

As for why the Spirit Field’s tier elevated, and Jade Crystal Rice reached Tier Two; Lu Yuanshan had heard it from Lu Ping before and was aware.

Zuo Luo and Li Ziqi also reported the optimization improvement of the Spirit Field to Lu Yuanshan, so he knew that much of the optimization and high productivity of the Spirit Field stemmed from his father’s handiwork.

His father had been in secluded cultivation for thirty years, and his methods have grown increasingly profound!

Just a few days after the Spirit Rice was harvested, the spirit medicines in the Medicinal Garden matured as well.

One good thing after another.

The sect promptly conducted a bountiful harvest in the Medicinal Garden.

The total number of harvested spirit medicines, including Clear Heart Grass, Purple Cloud Reishi, Profound Dark Grass, and others, reached 463 plants.

Among them, Profound Dark Grass occupied 199 plants, each worth 2 spirit stones.

The total value of this batch of Profound Dark Grass reached 398 spirit stones.

Adding in the other spirit medicines like Clear Heart Grass, Purple Cloud Reishi totaling 264 plants, and 100 Moon Grass plants, this harvest in the Medicinal Garden can bring around 800 spirit stones in revenue for the sect!

This is a great harvest!

After the Medicinal Garden was harvested.

Some Spirit Rice was left as rations, and the rest of the Spirit Rice was transported to Qinghe Market for sale.

As for the spirit medicines, a small portion was kept as alchemy materials, while the rest was also sold.

Ten Cloud Stepping Beasts were rented, Spirit Rice, spirit medicines, including Moon Grass were organized, and Lu Changfeng and Lu Zhiwei led twenty disciples, secretly leaving Cyan Lotus Mountain at night, heading towards Qinghe Market.

Their actions were very secretive and extremely cautious, trying their best to ensure that the news of this journey did not leak out.

After all, they carried thousands of jin of Spirit Rice and precious spirit medicines this time.

The total value of this cargo was close to 3,000 spirit stones.

For Cyan Mountain Sect, what does 3,000 spirit stones mean? Equivalent to the total income of the sect over the past four years!

With both Elders Lu Changfeng and Lu Zhiwei escorting, along with twenty disciples accompanying, more than half of the sect’s manpower was deployed, only then did Lu Yuanshan feel somewhat at ease.

Due to the reconstruction and prosperity of Lushan County over the years, many unfamiliar loose cultivators have flowed into Lushan County in recent years.

These loose cultivators vary in cultivation levels, including some Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The common point is that many are close to being penniless, devoid of spirit stones or cultivation resources, not joining any family or sect, drifting like rootless weeds throughout Lushan County.

Sometimes, to survive, securing spirit stone resources for cultivation, they would take risky actions, committing robbery, murder, and treasure-seizing acts.

Most loose cultivators initially intended to quit after a big score but went astray and couldn’t stop.

Although Cyan Mountain Sect has Dubhe Institute’s protection, external families and sects dare not harbor malice towards Cyan Mountain Sect during the sect system protection period.

But loose cultivators are like rootless weeds, without any attachment, act fearlessly, ready to do anything to survive, regardless of Dubhe Institute.

The Dubhe Institute also doesn’t have the time to handle each of those loose cultivators, having crucial formidable enemies to deal with itself.

So, many loose cultivators hardly pay any attention to entities like Dubhe Institute, Beidou Bureau.

This was what Lu Yuanshan was worried about.

Should this batch of Spirit Rice and spirit medicines be robbed, Lu Yuanshan would undoubtedly be furious to the point of passing out.

No one in the sect wants to witness this scene.

Therefore, deploying two elders to venture out also served as a form of oversight.

If not for needing to stay behind in Cyan Lotus Mountain, Lu Yuanshan would have liked to go along as well.

Fortunately, the people on their way had a smooth journey.

Several life-risking loose cultivators who habitually thrived in Lushan County, surviving by robbery and treasure-seizing, lost the thought of intercepting upon seeing Lu Changfeng’s rather sizable team, accompanied by Cloud Stepping Beasts, deciding it wasn’t worth their time and risk.

Ten days later.

Qinghe Market.

Outside Cyan Mountain Residence.

Upon arriving at the sect’s shop, Xu Yecheng and Qian Yingcai promptly came out to welcome them.

This time, they had previously received sect transmissions, preparing to receive them.

In Qinghe Market, cultivators were forbidden from magical combat; no cultivator has dared to defy the ironclad rule set by Heaven-Facing Sect, causing trouble right under their noses.

On the west side of Cyan Mountain Residence, not far from a shop belonging to Hengyue Sect,

two cultivators from Hengyue Sect saw Lu Changfeng and others standing outside Cyan Mountain Residence, with ten Cloud Stepping Beasts parked beside them, pulling a fully loaded cart, mostly Spirit Rice, and they couldn’t help but whisper to each other.

"Cyan Mountain Sect, this time, is it transporting this year’s Spirit Rice harvest? Why is there so much?"
