Eat, eat, eat in the primordial world

Fertilizer is spiritual energy; insufficient fertilizer means insufficient spiritual energy, which can be replenished with spiritual energy. Therefore, fertilizers from the primordial era were treasures containing abundant spiritual energy.

There are many such treasures, and Jiang Yuan has some readily available, such as the Breath Soil. A single grain of Breath Soil can immediately restore the spiritual energy contained in the land to its normal level.

But after thinking about it, Jiang Yuan didn't do that. Instead, he chose to grind the bones of the ferocious beast into powder and use it as fertilizer in the fields to replenish the spiritual energy.

While the Breath of Earth is valuable, not everyone possesses it. The bones of ferocious beasts, however, are different. Although they don't contain the same spiritual energy as the Breath of Earth, with some effort, everyone can obtain them.

Once the millet is cultivated, Jiang Yuan will definitely spread it throughout the land. However, as the millet is cultivated on a large scale, the problem of insufficient spiritual energy in the land will naturally arise.

While crop rotation can solve the problem, it only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause.

Since Jiang Yuan had thought of this, he might as well go all the way and develop fertilizer as well, so as to completely solve the problem of insufficient spiritual energy in the land.

The spiritual energy contained in the bones of the ferocious beast is not much, but if you sprinkle a little more, it will be enough to support Ji Chang for one round, and that's enough.

It'll just be a bit more troublesome later on, with each crop growing and then scattering. But compared to the harvest, this little bit of trouble is nothing.

……

After solving the problem of insufficient spiritual energy in the land, Jiang Yuan continued his experiments, but after only a few times, new problems arose.

Moreover, this new problem is even more serious. As the new batch of foxtail grass matures, Jiang Yuan discovered during his inspection that in addition to spiritual energy, the fruit also contains a faint trace of malevolent energy.

Although this malevolent energy is not abundant, it is a bad start. If it cannot be resolved, with each subsequent cultivation, the malevolent energy will only increase, eventually rendering the entire experiment useless.

Even if a millet carrying malevolent energy is successfully cultivated, it will be of no use.

"It's caused by the bone powder of a ferocious beast!"

Why would such malevolent energy suddenly appear? Jiang Yuan simply closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and he guessed the reason: it must have originated from the bone powder of a ferocious beast.

Because throughout the entire experiment, this was the only thing that carried malevolent energy.

"Could it be that beast bone meal really isn't suitable as fertilizer?"

Jiang Yuan frowned. It wasn't that he absolutely had to choose the beast bone powder as fertilizer, but rather that only by choosing it could he gain merit. Choosing other treasures would be just as useful, but he wouldn't receive any merit.

Using the bone meal of ferocious beasts as fertilizer not only increased the value of these beasts but also created demand among cultivators, forcing them to pay more attention to the slaughter of these beasts.

In this way, the beasts are suppressed, and merit is earned.

Would other treasures offer the same benefits? Therefore, Jiang Yuan would not give up using the bone powder of ferocious beasts as fertilizer, as long as possible.

"Should we cleanse the air before grinding the powder?"

Jiang Yuan glanced at the ferocious beast skeleton shrouded in malevolent energy before him, a thoughtful expression on his face. Since the malevolent energy was the trigger for everything, wouldn't it be better to eliminate it beforehand?

That's a valid point of view, but it raises a new problem.

That is, it's not difficult to remove the malevolent energy from the bones of ferocious beasts; just add water and spices and boil them. However, this method can only remove 90% of the malevolent energy; the remaining 10% cannot be removed and requires another method.

But using other methods would increase costs. These extra costs are completely unnecessary. Instead of going through the trouble of grinding away evil energy, it's better to use other treasures, which would save time and effort.

Simply put, the idea of ​​using ferocious beast bone powder as fertilizer is entirely Jiang Yuan's wishful thinking.

Not only does it lack advantages, it is also highly replaceable; you can easily find a whole host of spiritual objects that can replace it.

Even if Jiang Yuan promotes this fertilizer with all his might, it will hardly have any effect, and no one will be willing to accept it.

"I was too naive. For now, we can only place our hopes on the Jade Disc of Creation."

Seeing that he couldn't think of any good solutions, Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and decided to use cheat codes.

Jade Disc of Creation, add some points for me!

As soon as he thought of it, the merit within his body immediately ignited, transforming into a massive force that poured into the Jade Disc of Creation, causing it to rapidly recover.

The next moment, Jiang Yuan once again entered the perspective of the Great Luo, his gaze seemingly seeing through the river of time and discerning all kinds of future possibilities.

It wasn't that he didn't see the future; rather, he seemed to have foreseen it. From those countless possibilities, he found a solution.

Merit!

Cultivate the foxtail grass with merit, transforming it into Xuanhuang millet. In this way, there will be no need to worry about the corruption of evil energy. Because even if it is evil energy, Xuanhuang millet can absorb it and turn it into its own nourishment.

Dispelling evil is itself an act of merit; the more evil energy is dispelled, the more merit is gained.

The millet can absorb evil energy, which is how it neutralizes negative influences. Therefore, it is not an ordinary crop, but a crop that brings merit.

If you feed it with malevolent energy, the fruit it bears will not only contain pure spiritual energy, but will also contain some profound merit.

What is merit? It is the fundamental power that people dream of.

This alone is enough to eliminate the need for Jiang Yuan to promote it. In order for the fruits of Xuanhuangji to carry merit, people will spontaneously use the bone powder of ferocious beasts as fertilizer.

Because apart from the witch clan and demonic cultivators, ferocious beasts possess the most malevolent energy.

"Hiss, is this the power of the Great Luo? To foresee the future, eliminate all possibilities of failure, and directly obtain the correct answer."

"this……"

Jiang Yuan couldn't hide his excitement; copying the answers directly was indeed satisfying.

Once you have the correct answer, the rest is simple: just copy it. You don't need to stop consuming the beast bone powder, but you must also accumulate an equal amount of merit.

Continue cultivating in this way, until the foxtail grass seeds fully adapt to the power of merit and integrate it into their origin, passing it down from generation to generation.

Then it will naturally undergo a transformation and evolve into the successful crop, millet.

This process took a full century. Fortunately, Jiang Yuan had accumulated enough merit, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to sustain it. Even so, the merit he had built up over hundreds of years was almost depleted.

Originally, I could have used these merits to cultivate myself into a Celestial Immortal, but now that's out of the question.

Fortunately, over the past century, Mu Jiao and the Xuan Shan clan have collected a considerable amount of the Nine Sons' essence blood for him, which has helped him condense the Nine Sons' incarnation.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan is only one step away from achieving the Dao Fruit of Creation Celestial Immortal: melting his nine incarnations into one.

This matter is not urgent; cultivating the Xuanhuang millet is more important.

……

After a century of painstaking cultivation, countless merits poured in, and numerous experiments, the Xuanhuang Millet finally succeeded and did not disappoint Jiang Yuan.

Its fruit is plump and round, dark yellow in color, about one-third the size of a grain of rice, and each plant produces about 3,600 grains, which is quite considerable.

As the name suggests, the power contained in the fruit of Xuanhuang millet is not innate spiritual energy, but rather the higher quality Xuanhuang energy.

This is the primordial energy of heaven and earth, second only to the merits of Xuanhuang, and it is also useful to quasi-saints.
