As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 856 The Tears-Gathering Fruit Tree
Jiang Ran was indeed somewhat surprised.

Although he knew that the Lingze Islands were extraordinary and would constantly bring surprises, he never expected that it would just be a giant island. In just a few months, Jiang Nancheng made a very surprising discovery.

Jiang Nancheng's eyes gleamed as he talked about his passions. His handsome face was so vivid that even Jiang Xiaowen, who didn't think much of it, couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Jiang Nancheng truly lived up to his sister's resemblance, attracting everyone's attention.

Jiang Xiaowen's eyes darted around, and she suddenly asked curiously, "Since the Lingze Islands have so many magical spiritual lands, why have only a dozen or so demon spirits been discovered on such a large archipelago?"

Jiang Nancheng chuckled.

Her question is indeed a common one among laymen: that a place with abundant spiritual soil must give birth to many demons and spirits.

Jiang Nancheng explained, "Indeed, fertile soil and well-grown plants increase the probability of giving birth to spirits. But in the wild, the birth of spirits is more a matter of luck. After all, if there are no farmers cultivating the land, then all kinds of plants will be piled up together, competing for sunlight and nutrients, restraining each other, and none of them can reach their 'peak,' so it is difficult for spirits to be born."

Jiang Xiaowen suddenly realized, "I see. It seems that being a demon spirit master is not easy. It's not simple to cultivate a demon spirit."

Jiang Ran said to Jiang Nancheng, "If the Purple Mansion Crystal is very useful to the demon spirit, then please put in some effort to refine more crystals."

There are dozens of spirits in the county now, and their food is heavily reliant on imports. It is indeed lucky to find a spirit food on Giant View Island.

Jiang Nancheng nodded and put the collected Purple Mansion Mud into his storage ring. "I'll go and look through some recipes for demon spirits that use Purple Mansion Crystals as materials. This will help me improve the intelligence of the demon spirits and make it easier to cultivate them."

Jiang Ran asked a few more questions about the Purple Mansion Crystallization before finally turning her attention to the Tears Condensation Fruit Tree.

The brown trunk of the teardrop fruit tree has several green vertical stripes like those carved from jade. It doesn't have many leaves, so the ripe fruit is very noticeable.

The teardrop berry is a translucent, light blue berry covered with a very thin, paper-like skin. It has a cool, minty aroma and juicy flesh that melts in your mouth, like lychee mixed with snow water.

The fruit is delicious, but its fragile skin can be easily crushed with a little force. Moreover, because there are no leaves to block the view, some birds will come specifically to pick these delicious fruits.

For many reasons, the Tears-Gathering Fruit is destined to be a precious spiritual fruit.

However, this previously neglected Crying Tears Orchard is quite large, with nearly a thousand Crying Tears trees at a glance.

This is naturally inseparable from demons and spirits.

One of the six rare demon spirits contracted by Jiang Ran is this Tear-Gathering Fruit Spirit Insect.

Unlike its delicate fruit, the Tear-Gathering Fruit Spirit Insect has a pair of resolute, beady eyes on its crystal-blue body.

The little creature wasn't afraid when Jiang Ran held it in her hand and squeezed it. Instead, it rolled Jiang Ran's slightly cool index finger inside its body and let out a soft chirp.
"Chu mi." You're so cold, let me warm you up.

It's still a warm-hearted spirit insect, the kind that forces love.

【Tear-Clearing Fruit Spirit Insect】

Qualification: Ordinary (Orange)
Rarity: Rare

Personality: Strong-willed

Age: Eight years old; Spiritual Element: General Spiritual Element
Variation: None
Don't touch me! But I can touch you!

Unfortunately, the Tears Fruit Spirit Insect has only average aptitude and is already eight years old, making its cultivation much more difficult.

However, given the example of the Crimson Crystal Wheat Monster, it's not impossible for the Condensing Fruit Tree Spirit Insect to evolve into a Demon Spirit Monster within two years, even if it doesn't become a Nascent Fairy or a Saint Fairy in the future.

"Wow, so many of these Tears-Gathering Fruits have been ruined by the birds." In the short time that she had been in contact with the Tears-Gathering Fruit spirit insect, Jiang Xiaowen had already flown up the tree and picked a few Tears-Gathering Fruits.

Looking up, one can see that many of the unripe fruit have had their skins pierced by birds, the flesh falling to the ground like a liquid solid, leaving only a layer of rotten skin on the treetops.

Jiang Xiaowen carefully washed the few tear-filled fruits she had picked with clean water and handed two to Jiang Ran and Jiang Nancheng.

Jiang Nancheng has been with Su Hongxuezi for the past few days, and naturally, he has also consumed quite a few Tears-Sealing Fruits.

Ironically, because the fruit was so delicious, even the supposedly honest students of the Demon Spirit Academy would secretly pick the fruit from the tree and eat it when he wasn't looking during his work hours.

"Sister, this spirit fruit tastes really good. It should be very popular. Before the birds have eaten all the Tearful Fruit in the orchard, let's send someone to pick it quickly."

Jiang Ran took a bite, and the juice exploded in her mouth. The taste of snow lychee was very refreshing. Looking at the more than a thousand trees of the Tear Fruit, she couldn't help but feel that it was a waste for so many Tear Fruits to rot on the trees.

"Then send someone to pick them."

……

After tasting the Tears-Freezing Fruit, Jiang Ran became interested in exploring Giant View Island. She summoned a Cloud-Swallowing Flying Sword and, carrying Jiang Nancheng and Jiang Xiaowen, slowly flew over Giant View Island.

A gentle breeze softly caressed my hair.

Jiang Ran looked down at the busy Su Hong students under Ning Lei Orchard and said to Jiang Nancheng, "A master's school has its own shrewd and resourceful people. I've seen many famous demon spirit masters from other places who have people who specialize in planting, purchasing, and crafting demon spirit equipment... Nancheng, you can cultivate more talents in this area for yourself, so you won't have to do everything yourself in the future."

Jiang Nancheng hadn't yet recovered from the joy of soaring through the air when he heard his sister's admonition and was slightly taken aback.

To be honest, it's extremely troublesome to train a capable person from scratch to work under someone.

Jiang Nancheng preferred to bury himself in his own schemes and couldn't understand why others couldn't grasp such a simple question as one plus two.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Jiang Nancheng now has more than twenty students from Suhong Academy; it was actually Hu Chi, the dean of Suhong Academy, who came to him for a long time to ask for help.

In the end, it was the words, "With each additional spirit master, the world's granaries will be filled, and a moment of peace will be added. This is also the scene His Highness desires to see. His Highness has devoted much effort to Suhong Academy, but unfortunately, the spirit academy is newly established and lacks sufficient teachers. Sometimes the academy cannot teach the students much. I would appreciate it if you could take some time to mentor the students of the spirit branch." This convinced him.

Jiang Nancheng might not take other people's advice to heart, but he always listens to his sister's words.

He thought about it and realized that it was indeed true. For example, when collecting spiritual soil, if he had a sensible person by his side, he wouldn't need to travel for several months to collect all the soil from the Spirit Swamp Islands.

Jiang Nancheng nodded earnestly, "Thank you for your guidance, sister. I've taken it to heart."
