Qingcang Immortal Clan: Starting with Farming to Increase Luck

Chapter 106 A Bountiful Harvest

In addition to the ten acres of spiritual fields, Lu Yang had also cultivated three hundred acres of land outside his courtyard.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that nearly a hundred puppets are working in the fields of these three hundred acres.

Spirit fields require the nourishment of spiritual veins and are difficult to extend, but such a large-scale project cannot be slowed down, so Lu Yang set his sights on ordinary farmland.

The fortune gained from planting in ordinary spirit fields, though not even a fraction of that from a spirit field, is still something. Now that puppets are working, planting in ordinary spirit fields can be fully automated. This reduces the pressure on Lu Yang and won't take up too much of his energy, so he's naturally happy to cultivate the wasteland.

Moreover, the spiritual veins of Qingcang Mountain have now advanced from the second tier to the third tier.

What is the concept of a third-tier spiritual vein? Even one hundred top-grade second-tier spiritual veins may not be able to nurture one third-tier spiritual vein.

Although most of the spiritual energy of Qingcang Mountain is concentrated at the summit, providing a place for the elders to cultivate.

However, the remaining energy, scattered across the entire Qingcang Mountain, made the spiritual energy in various places more than ten times richer.

With such a high concentration of spiritual energy, combined with Lu Yang's Minor Spirit Gathering Technique, Minor Spirit Interception Technique, and Minor Spirit Condensation Technique, it is entirely possible for these ordinary spiritual fields to transform into spiritual fields over time.

However, every inch of the fields in Qingcang Mountain was registered in the Internal Affairs Hall.

Even the initial two and a half acres of land were rented by Lu Yang. Although Lu Yang reclaimed a lot more land later, it was obtained after Lu Yang planted the spiritual vein. The Inner Affairs Hall turned a blind eye to this, seeing that Lu Yang was not only acquiring more land but also contributing spiritual veins to Qingcang Mountain.

Moreover, Lu Yang has good spiritual root aptitude and his cultivation progress is fast. The clan thinks highly of Lu Yang and will provide him with some conveniences within the rules.

But ultimately, it is limited.

Although Qingcang Mountain is vast, it has its own rules and resources. If it wants to develop, it cannot allow its people to arbitrarily encroach on its territory.

Even if the area where Lu Yang's spiritual field is located is not populated by many people and is of little use, that still won't work.

Therefore, even if Lu Yang had been willing to work hard and wanted to cultivate ordinary farmland, the clan would not have allowed it.

Unless you reclaim land and hand it over to the clan, in which case the clan would be very happy to do so.

But Lu Yang isn't stupid.

Therefore, Lu Yang hadn't eaten this mosquito meat before, but now that he saw the possibility of converting ordinary fields into spirit fields, he couldn't sit still any longer.

The action was immediately taken. One thousand contribution points were given to the clan, and Lu Yang obtained the right to use the three hundred mu and ten mu of spirit fields.

The ownership still belongs to the clan, but the right to use it has been given to Lu Yang, which is equivalent to signing a contract with no term.

The 1,000 contribution points are mainly for these 300 acres of ordinary farmland. The remaining 10 acres of spirit fields have already exhausted the potential of the three first-order spirit veins, and it is no longer possible to generate more.

Three years ago, Lu Yang fought a great battle with the priest of the sacrificial deity within the life-and-death contract. Although he did not win, he did not disgrace his clan.

Since it is a battle fought for the clan, and the clan has a clear system of rewards and punishments, there will naturally be rewards.

Lu Yang then accepted the right to use the ten acres of spiritual land, thus closing the loophole he had previously exploited.

Now that the clan's laws are becoming increasingly strict, Lu Yang doesn't want to cause trouble for the clan because of this.

Moreover, it's so much more comfortable to farm on your own land.

Not only in the spirit fields, but also over the spirit lake, there are hundreds of puppets working there.

The original five-acre Linghu Lake has now been expanded to thirty acres by Lu Yang.

Good heavens, it extends right towards Lu Yang's spiritual field, almost touching it.

The task wasn't difficult; it was just digging a lake. For cultivators, it was nothing special. The water was readily available; they could simply draw water from the Qingcang River.

Now, the additional 25 mu of fish ponds have been basically completed, and small fish and shrimp have been released into the lake, but unfortunately they are just common species.

Like the three hundred acres of farmland, these twenty-five acres of fishponds were just ordinary fishponds at this time.

To transform it into a spirit lake, Lu Yang still needs to continuously use his magic to process it.

Over the course of three years, Lu Yang created puppets and made them work, cultivating wasteland and digging fishponds. As the number of puppets increased, the speed also increased.

These puppets are only first-tier puppets, and most of them are only low-grade first-tier puppets. They are considered Lu Yang's practice pieces.

The basic material is Qingcang bamboo, which can be obtained from Qingwu Peak. It is a specialty of the clan, so the clan will not ask Lu Yang for too much money.

With the advancement of his spiritual cultivation, Lu Yang's mastery of puppetry has reached the first-tier high-grade level after three years.

After being modified by Lu Yang, the four puppet arrow beasts have all reached the first-tier superior grade. They are now stationed at the spirit fields and spirit lake, forming a guard team to protect the safety of the spirit fields and spirit lake.

During his three years there, Lu Yang was not idle. In his spare time from cultivation, he used the Minor Spirit Gathering Technique, Minor Spirit Condensation Technique, and Minor Spirit Interception Technique to improve the quality of his fields and fishponds.

Therefore, over the past three years, Lu Yang has devoted a significant portion of his fortune to basic spiritual plant cultivation techniques.

Upon careful consideration, Lu Yang has indeed gained a great deal of good fortune in these three years.

Of the ten acres of spirit fields, apart from one acre of An Shen Mu (a type of tree) which is not yet fully mature and has not yet yielded any fortune, the other eight acres of spirit fields and one acre of medicinal fields are Lu Yang's main source of fortune.

Although the spiritual fields were developed gradually over three years, with the improvement of Lu Yang's basic spiritual plant cultivation techniques and the feedback from the spiritual energy of Qingcang Mountain, the quality of the spiritual fields improved, and Lu Yang's harvest from the spiritual fields increased, naturally leading to a rise in his fortune.

Currently, the harvest of a spirit field in Luyang takes about three to five years.

Eight acres of spiritual fields, over three years, provided Lu Yang with the fortune equivalent to one hundred and thirty years.

The good fortune gained from the Five Mu Spirit Lake also surprised Lu Yang greatly.

The Spirit Lake, which yields fish only once a year, doesn't require any rest or repair period in between; the harvest can proceed seamlessly. Lu Yang has already harvested three batches of spirit fish, and the fourth batch is almost here.

Lu Yang calculated that the fortune income from one mu of spiritual lake would last for about ten years.

The five-acre spiritual lake yields spiritual fish that mature once a year, with each harvest bringing in enough fortune to last for fifty years.

After three harvests, the fortune spanned 150 years, exceeding even the income from the spirit field. Who would have thought that this spirit fish, despite having only a few days' worth of memory, was so deeply grateful?

Over the course of three years, Lu Yang also provided assistance to other members of his clan by helping them with farming.

It must be said that after the spiritual veins of Qingcang Mountain advanced to the third level, the clan's spiritual fields increased significantly, and after being rented out, the clan's spiritual plant farmers also increased considerably.

Lu Yang went to earn spirit stones or contribution points to help them cultivate spirit fields.

Because of the high quality and low price, the junior cultivators in the clan felt that Lu Yang was not doing this to make money, but to help them, who had just entered the Qi Refining stage and wanted to farm. Therefore, most of them were grateful to Lu Yang. Now that Lu Yang has gone out...

Whenever these junior cultivators saw Lu Yang, they would all call him "Brother Xuan Yang," which greatly enhanced Lu Yang's prestige.

Lu Yang was naturally delighted with this, and most importantly, he gained good fortune.

This part of his fortune is certainly not as good as Lu Yang's own farming, but Lu Yang was diligent enough over three years to accumulate the fortune of thirty years.

Adding the harvest from the cultivated ordinary fields and fishponds, and taking into account Lu Yang's own accumulated fortune, all of these combined, Lu Yang's accumulated fortune over the past three years amounted to approximately 320 years.

Three hundred and twenty years.

As Lu Yang used his luck to cultivate more, he gradually came to understand its uses.

A single day of blessing is equivalent to giving Lu Yang an extra day of enlightenment; a blessing over 320 years would give Lu Yang an extra 320 years of enlightenment.

For cultivators with limited lifespans, this is practically like having a time buff.

Moreover, with more than three months of favorable fortune, there is a chance that Lu Yang will enter a state of enlightenment. The longer the fortune is enhanced, the greater the chance of enlightenment.

The effect of sudden enlightenment is clearly several times that of regular practice.

Therefore, as long as Lu Yang uses his fortune properly, he can use these 320 years of fortune to gain the enlightenment of a thousand years.

Enlightenment has taken a thousand years!

This is the result!

Others are stingy and specialize in one thing, fearing that cultivation will be difficult and they won't be able to successfully establish their foundation. But Lu Yang doesn't have to worry about these things at all.

With the blessing of good fortune, one can achieve sudden enlightenment.

As long as he is willing to burn his luck, no matter how difficult the cultivation method, technique, or bottleneck, it is all trivial to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang did not use up all of his 320 years of fortune. He focused on the basic spiritual plant cultivation technique, as it was the only way for him to increase the yield of spiritual fields and lakes and increase his fortune.

Moreover, it plays a crucial role in advancing the twenty-five mu of fishponds and three hundred mu of farmland behind them into spirit lakes and spirit fields.

Most importantly, the Spirit Plant Technique can be transformed into seeds of supernatural powers. As Lu Yang's cultivation level increases, it's time to prepare for Foundation Establishment.

Originally, Lu Yang's cultivation of basic spiritual plant techniques had only reached the level of mastery in the Lesser Wind-Supporting Technique.

Now that his luck was good, Lu Yang became more generous.

After refining his spirit and returning to the source, Lu Yang's efficiency in cultivating magic techniques seemed to have improved considerably.

The six basic spiritual plant techniques—Minor Seedling Technique, Minor Cloud and Rain Technique, Minor Golden Sharp Technique, Minor Spiritual Flame Technique, Minor Thick Earth Technique, and Minor Spiritual Cage Technique—required Lu Yang to spend a year of his fortune and have a moment of enlightenment before he could directly master each of them.

The Lesser Spirit Interception Technique, Lesser Spirit Gathering Technique, and Lesser Spirit Condensation Technique are more difficult and require two years of good fortune.

In other words, Lu Yang mastered the Nine Basic Spirit Plant Techniques in twelve years.

The mastery of basic spiritual plant techniques is an achievement that is unique in the entire Lu family, and no, it should be unique in the entire Southern State.

After all, even those Golden Core sects' spiritual plant practitioners probably don't really put much energy into spiritual plant cultivation. Small achievements are already quite remarkable. Why would they waste so much time cultivating spiritual plant cultivation and breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage?

For Qi Refining cultivators, unless they are exceptionally talented, who has the energy and time to cultivate spiritual plant techniques?

Cultivators all have dreams; even those with five spiritual roots want to try their best to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, let alone those with better talent.
