Jidao Wusheng: I am invincible in my flesh and tear the weirdness apart with my bare hands

A drop of blood.

Zhang Lingshan used only a drop of blood to nourish the land and successfully cultivated low-grade spiritual rice, weighing over 500 jin.

"A single drop of blood weighs over 500 jin (250 kg). Luckily, my blood wasn't used to nourish the land in District D, otherwise it would have weighed over 500 jin from the start—that would have been terrifying."

Zhang Lingshan secretly rejoiced.

It was fortunate that he had always had Gu Nanxiang tend to the land, otherwise he would have exposed the extraordinary nature of his blood.

However, this is no longer a problem in District C, because a yield of 500 jin is not considered particularly impressive in District C, and it is less than 600 jin, which meets the standard. It is nothing special.

'A drop of blood can produce 500 catties of low-grade spirit rice, but I only managed to grow one mid-grade spirit rice plant with just one drop of blood. No wonder mid-grade spirit rice is so much more effective than low-grade spirit rice.'

Zhang Lingshan used his own blood as a constant value, thus he could calculate the difference between mid-grade and low-grade spiritual rice.

The difference is staggering.

If the difference between low-grade and mid-grade is this much, then what about the difference between mid-grade and high-grade, and between high-grade and top-grade?

No wonder top-grade spiritual rice has almost never been successfully grown.

A simple calculation reveals that producing top-grade spirit rice requires an unknown amount of blood or fertilizer just for nourishing the soil.

That's why there's never enough farm workers. Not only is a large area of ​​paddy fields empty in District D, but a lot of them are also empty in District C.

It is evident that many of the planting workers, exhausted both physically and mentally, with their life force depleted, were no longer able to grow the spirit rice and were thus sent to be used as fertilizer.

'If we calculate it this way, how much blood would I have to expend to grow one acre of mid-grade spirit rice? And the result would only be a 5% commission.'

Zhang Lingshan did the math.

If the yield of the medium-grade spirit rice you grow is 500 jin, then you can get 25 jin of medium-grade spirit rice.

It seems like a lot, but it's not very useful to me because I can't eat that much.

Moreover, as the saying goes, "A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure." These mid-grade spirit rice will surely attract unwanted attention.

When Song Yi first grew mid-grade spiritual rice, it was taken away by a noblewoman of unknown origin. Fortunately, she was kind enough to give Song Yi a chance to transfer to the Alchemy Pavilion.

If you encounter an unscrupulous person who takes it for free, what can you do?
Zhang Lingshan didn't want to be watched for no reason, so he decided to continue with his previous method and secretly produce a few mid-grade spirit rice plants.

I don't have high requirements, just enough to eat.

So, for the rest of the time, Zhang Lingshan continued to farm in a low-key manner, spending his days buried in the paddy fields, facing the loess soil and turning his back to the sky. He was clearly the most honest and simple farmer.

When the paddy field supervisors saw him, they would all nod in approval, thinking what a hardworking and uncomplaining young man he was.

If all the farmers in the paddy fields were this hardworking, how could there be a shortage of Ling rice?
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Surprisingly, Wei Chongqian was also promoted to District C.

Zhang Lingshan couldn't help but marvel.

As expected of a peak True Immortal, as long as one is diligent and hardworking, one's advancement speed is no slower than Zhang Lingshan's.

If we don't count the time Wei Chongqian wasted by hiding in his room pretending to be dead and not doing any work at the beginning, but only count the time Wei Chongqian officially started farming, his promotion speed was even faster than Zhang Lingshan's.

"Manager Wei, congratulations on your promotion."

Zhang Lingshan cupped his hands in greeting and then returned the storage ring to Wei Chongqian.

Because in Zone C, with Wei Chongqian's strength, the output will increase, and he will need a storage ring to store the spirit rice. Zhang Lingshan gave him the ring for his convenience.

Wei Chongqian took the ring, frowning, "Where's my stuff?"

"The items cannot be returned to Manager Wei for the time being, lest another accident like Huo Ran's occur. But Manager Wei, don't worry, the day we leave this place, I will return to you exactly what I owe you, not a penny less."

Zhang Lingshan said.

Wei Chongqian snorted: "I hope you keep your word!"

"nature."

Zhang Lingshan smiled and said, "If Steward Wei has any questions about farming, he can ask me. I will answer them to the best of my ability."

“No need,” Wei Chongqian said. “Is there anything else you need? If not, I still need to farm.”

"clear."

Zhang Lingshan smiled faintly, then left to visit Huo Ran, saying, "Master Huo, Steward Wei has already been promoted to Zone C. Now you're the only one left. You must work hard!"

Huo Ran snorted, "What are you doing here? I can advance after planting a few more rounds. You don't need to worry about me."

Zhang Lingshan said, "I came because I was worried that Master Huo had too much spiritual rice and nowhere to put it. I can return this storage ring to you."

"really?"

Huo Ran's face lit up with surprise, but she quickly calmed down and scoffed, "You'd be that kind?"

Zhang Lingshan said, "We're all in this together. Steward Wei said we should all work hard at farming, and anyone who falls behind would be disrespecting Steward Wei. So, helping you is helping myself. Of course, the ring won't be given to you for free; you'll have to exchange it for all the spirit rice you've accumulated these past few days."

"asshole!"

Huo Dan was furious: "This is outrageous! I'd rather fill the room with stuff than take your storage ring. Get out!"

"Hehe, one day you'll need a ring, and then it won't be this price."

Zhang Lingshan chuckled and left.

If you have any intention of leaving the paddy fields, you will definitely need a storage ring to accumulate spirit rice.

After all, this stuff is valuable but not readily available. If you save it up and sell it later, it will be worth more than the pills in the alchemy pavilion.

and so.

Huo Ran will definitely come to beg Zhang Lingshan for help, unless Huo Ran plans to grow old and die here.

They returned to their paddy fields.

Zhang Lingshan thought to himself, "Wei Chongqian is working very hard at farming now. I estimate that he will be promoted to District B in a few years. Then I can just follow in his footsteps and save myself the trouble of constantly calculating and controlling my own speed."

With Wei Chongqian as a reference, Zhang Lingshan felt more at ease and could concentrate more on comprehending the life force flowing out when the spiritual rice was growing.

You should know that he had been trying to comprehend this aura of life for three years, but it was still not recorded on the panel. Even with his soul tree, divine sense, and ability to derive myriad laws, he couldn't grasp the essence of it after three years, which shows how wondrous this aura is and how difficult it is to comprehend.

Fortunately.

Hard work pays off.

With the help of eating mid-grade spiritual rice every day for the past three years, and by refining all the spiritual crystals and other items in Huo Ran and Wei Chongqian's rings.

This day.

Zhang Lingshan's divine consciousness has finally achieved another breakthrough.

[Spirit: Celestial Divine Sense (Level 6: 0/1000)]

Wow.

All the scenes from all directions rushed into Zhang Lingshan's mind from a strange angle in an instant.

In an instant, Zhang Lingshan felt dizzy and fell into the paddy field with a thud.

He kept his eyes tightly closed, his eyelids trembling, unable to open them, as if he were trapped in some kind of nightmare.

At this moment, he seemed to lose all sense of time and space, as if he were spinning in a vortex.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Zhang Lingshan felt as if he had fallen to the bottom of a whirlpool, and everything finally became quiet.

Only then was he able to perceive the layers upon layers of vortexes in his mind.

"After the immortal's divine sense broke through to the sixth level, everything in the world became clearer, even revealing layers, causing an unusual spatial perception that made the world spin."

Zhang Lingshan thought to himself.

Fortunately, as time went by, I gradually became familiar with the feeling and regained control of my body.

'It seems that the higher one's divine sense advances, the deeper one's perception of the world becomes, and the more time is needed to familiarize oneself with it. Therefore, when breaking through in the future, one must find a safe place and absolutely avoid attempting to improve one's divine sense on short notice.'

Zhang Lingshan remembered this lesson.

then.

Fresh blood dripped out and landed on a stalk of sacred rice.

A newly acquired sixth-level immortal divine sense naturally needs to be paired with fresh spiritual rice for perception.

Once this spiritual rice plant has completely absorbed this drop of blood, it will generate that strange life force. I couldn't comprehend it before, but I believe that with my current sixth-level immortal divine sense, I will surely succeed!

One night passed.

Zhang Lingshan stood motionless, constantly sensing the aura of that spirit rice plant.

Sudden.

He immediately detected a milky white aura.

This is it!

Zhang Lingshan was overjoyed.

Previously, I could only sense subtle auras, but now I can sense the color of those auras.

Don't you understand yet?

In an instant, the Soul Tree split off strands of divine consciousness, which, together with the tiny figures within the Myriad Laws, began to frantically comprehend this milky-white aura.

In the past, Zhang Lingshan felt that this aura would appear and disappear at different times.

He now realized that it hadn't disappeared, but was pulsating, pulsating with a strange rhythm.

It seems like, like the beating of a heart?
Zhang Lingshan's heart skipped a beat.

A column of fresh text immediately appeared on the panel.

[Life Force: Beginner, 0/1]

Add some points!

Without saying a word, Zhang Lingshan immediately added points.

It's just 1 Rang of energy points. Over the years, I've only accumulated energy points without ever consuming them. I've already accumulated as many as 33 Rang. Let alone advancing to the beginner level, advancing directly to the minor master level wouldn't be a problem.

but.

Having learned his lesson from breaking through to the Immortal God realm, Zhang Lingshan was afraid that a sudden, rapid increase would be too much for him to handle, so he only added 1 unit of energy, raising him to the entry level.

[Life Force: Beginner, 0/10 Abundance]

Hu Hu Hu.

Inside my body, it felt as if a giant bellows had suddenly appeared, blowing air frantically.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Lingshan felt that he had gained weight.

But this kind of fatness isn't real fatness; it's more of a feeling.

Because some structures in the body change during the flow of vital energy, such as meridians, blood vessels, bones, muscles...

Every part of my body was cleansed by the breath of life, and although I was said to have gained weight, my body had actually become more toned.

It's as if his past body was a withered seed, or an empty shell, just like the empty-shelled spiritual rice he planted before.

Now, having received the replenishment of the breath of life, the empty shell has begun to produce "rice".

[Immortal Spirit Body: Unskilled, 0/1000]

'so much!?'

When Zhang Lingshan saw that a new column had appeared on the panel, he was first pleasantly surprised, then stunned.

1000 stipends.

When the hell will I be able to save enough?

Fortunately, in addition to directly replenishing with energy points, this immortal spiritual body can also be replenished with the life force.

For example, at this very moment, as Zhang Lingshan absorbs the life force from the rice, the experience points in the Immortal Spirit Body section keep increasing.

Although the improvement is not significant, only a few hundred points per breath, it is many times smaller than the magnitude of Rang.

But that's because he produced too few mid-grade spirit rice.

If more mid-grade spirit rice can be cultivated later, and its life essence can be absorbed during its growth, the efficiency will naturally be improved.

In addition to this, there is another method.

Add more points.

Zhang Lingshan quickly clicked on the "Life Force" section again.

[Life Force: Minor Success, 0/100]

boom!
It felt like something inside my body exploded.

Zhang Lingshan's heart skipped a beat, as if a crack had appeared in his heart.

Long ago, his heart absorbed the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, which greatly enhanced his ability to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Now, the seven-aperture exquisite heart begins to transform, trembling constantly, and new apertures appearing continuously.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred orifices appeared!

Sure enough, the speed at which he absorbed the life force increased, and with each breath, the experience points of his Immortal Spirit Body could increase by more than a thousand.

But this is not the limit.

Because when Zhang Lingshan took his next breath, the breath of life was already gone.

According to Zhang Lingshan's observation, the life force released during the growth of mid-grade spiritual rice is leaping and wave after wave.

If you absorb a wave of food in one go, you have to wait for the next wave to appear.

Therefore, a thousand kilos per bite is not his limit, but rather the limit of mid-grade spiritual rice.

'But this is already good enough.'

Zhang Lingshan was not greedy.

Although, at this rate, it would probably take several hundred years to break through to the entry level of the Immortal Spirit Body.

However, he doesn't need to rush into mastering the art, because every second, the life force within him is transforming his physical body.

In other words, even if he sits in a daze and does nothing all day, his physical body is undergoing subtle transformations at all times.

Every single second, I become stronger than I was a second ago.

Zhang Lingshan had a feeling that if he were facing Zhao Xian's desperate attack now, his stomach would at most just explode with a hole.

Moreover, the recovery speed will be faster.

No wonder there are rumors that top-grade spiritual rice can restore one's spiritual roots; this is definitely not an exaggeration.

Just based on the small-scale life force he has just grasped, it far exceeds the life essence recovery ability of his cloud.

The finest spirit rice is definitely superior, if not inferior.

A few days later.

Zhang Lingshan's condition has completely stabilized. If there had been an expert present when he broke through earlier, they might have been able to see something was wrong with him.

But right now, no one can see that something is wrong.

But Zhang Lingshan noticed something was wrong.

That is, after absorbing the life essence, the improvement of those few mid-grade spirit rice plants failed, and they continued to remain at the level of low-grade spirit rice.

This is a good thing!
Zhang Lingshan's heart skipped a beat, and he was overjoyed.

This discovery means that I can freely cultivate an acre of medium-grade spirit rice and fully absorb the life energy during its growth stages.

Thus, the final mature spiritual rice is still only low-grade spiritual rice.

However, Zhang Lingshan absorbed a large amount of life energy, accelerating his transformation from an immortal spirit body to an immortal spirit Dao body.

You can gain benefits without attracting attention and complete the task of planting spirit rice.

A win-win situation, isn't that great?

So, in the days that followed, Zhang Lingshan operated with this approach, making great progress every day and enjoying himself to the extreme, so much so that he forgot all about home.

Even if you asked him to return to the Alchemy Pavilion now, he probably wouldn't want to. (End of Chapter)
