Qingcang Immortal Clan: Starting with Farming to Increase Luck

Lu Yunxia's smile gradually faded. To be honest, this was the first time she had ever encountered such a situation.

The Spirit Planting Hall does have precedents for supporting spiritual plant growers, including providing seeds for the first planting of spiritual fields and waiving rent.

But that was when the clansmen first started planting. Lu Yang had been farming for over a year, and the crops were growing well. He was definitely considered a senior member of the Spirit Plant Hall. It was truly unexpected for Lu Yunxia that he would come to borrow things.

Especially something as valuable as Anshenmu (a type of wood used for stabilizing the skin).

It was Lu Yang's spiritual root quality and talent in spiritual plants that made it difficult for Lu Yunxia to refuse him directly; otherwise, she would have kicked him out long ago.

Upon hearing that Lu Yang was also leaving a magical artifact here, Lu Yunxia knew that Lu Yang might really need the An Shen Mu (a type of magical wood).

But why would a mere cultivator like Lu Yang need such a high-level item? If he was curious about the quality of the calming incense, he could simply buy a stick of it. With Lu Yang's wealth, it shouldn't be a problem for him to grit his teeth and buy it.

Now, however, she wanted to put down the sacred tree. Her gaze lingered on Lu Yang, and a bold idea couldn't help but spring to mind.

"You're not thinking of planting a calming tree, are you?!"

Seeing Lu Yunxia's shocked face, Lu Yang touched his nose and said, "Give it a try."

Lu Yunxia quickly shook her head, "Don't get any wild ideas, kid. Everyone knows that Anshenmu is valuable. My Lu family has done a lot of research on it, but we haven't seen any results over the years."

As a novice cultivator who has just begun to explore spiritual plants, your cultivation should be your priority. Don't mess around recklessly.

Lu Yunxia was genuinely afraid, not because she was afraid that Lu Yang would actually grow the An Shen Mu, which was simply impossible, but because she was afraid that Lu Yang would become obsessed with it.

It's unbelievable. Others just treat farming as a way to earn spirit stones, and they're so lazy that they barely make a living farming spirit fields.

He's indecisive; today he wants to refine elixirs, tomorrow he wants to make talismans.

Lu Yang, on the other hand, has become addicted to farming. Not only has he mastered the art of planting spiritual plants, but he's now even starting to tinker with high-end products, wanting to cultivate the An Shen Wood. Isn't that just wishful thinking?

Planting it wouldn't really be a problem, but the fear is that Lu Yang might be too stubborn and get obsessed with it, thus delaying his cultivation. With the three spiritual roots of metal, water, and wood, and the seed for foundation building, Lu Yunxia truly doesn't want Lu Yang to hinder his own cultivation.

After all, it was she who brought Lu Yang into the Spirit Plant Hall. If it really delayed his cultivation, she would feel guilty to death.

"Let's give it a try. Don't we have any Anshenmu wood at our Lingzhi Hall? Looks like I'll have to look elsewhere."

Seeing Lu Yang's serious expression, Lu Yunxia quickly waved her hand, "No, ancestor, you really are my ancestor. I told you to cultivate properly, why is it so difficult?"

Is farming really that fun? Don't go any further. We don't have any Anshenmu trees in our market town. If you go any further, the situation between the Lu family and the Fang family is delicate right now.

You just made an appearance on stage, don't go out and get killed by the Fang family.

Sigh, I really owe you. Lingzhitang has calming wood, but not much, and I can't make the decision myself; I have to report to my grandfather first.

I've made it clear: if Grandfather doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do.

After Lu Yunxia finished speaking, she immediately reported to the Sixth Elder. There was no other way; Lu Yunxia could see that Lu Yang was a stubborn person. If he didn't fail once, he would probably keep thinking about this matter.

Lu Yunxia was genuinely afraid that Lu Yang would run off and get killed by the Fang family.

However, even though I've submitted a report, An Shen Mu is a rare material among first-tier spirit woods, and my grandfather might not agree to it. If he doesn't agree, then there's nothing I can do.

"Give it to him, there's still a piece of root left, give it to him."

Ah!

Seeing her grandfather's response, Lu Yunxia was stunned. He really gave it to her!

Forget it, if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. Anyway, she's already reported it. If this really delays Lu Yang, she can't bear most of the responsibility.

She gave Lu Yang a disapproving look. "Grandfather agreed, I'll get it for you now, but there's only one root. Once you're done playing with it, quickly give up and focus on your cultivation, understand?"

Lu Yang was overjoyed to hear this; there really was one!

"Thank you, Auntie. Thank you, Sixth Elder. I'll leave this mid-grade Azure Robe here as collateral for you."

Lu Yunxia didn't even glance at the Azure Robe in Lu Yang's hand. "You should keep the robe to save your life. I'll just write you a note later."

A short while later, Lu Yang finished writing the note and left the Spirit Plant Hall happily with a piece of calming wood root.

This is the advantage of having a family. If Lu Yang were to search for the An Shen Mu on his own, he probably wouldn't be able to find even one piece even if he searched all over Qingcang County.

With family support, the An Shen Mu (a type of medicinal herb) is easily obtained.

In fact, the cultivation method of the An Shenmu tree will eventually be offered to the clan, but in Lu Yang's opinion, there is still a matter to be discussed regarding how to offer it.

If he were to offer it directly to the clan, the clan, with its clear system of rewards and punishments, would surely reward him handsomely with a large amount of contribution points, considering his merit in presenting the magic.

But there's no reason to expect a golden egg when you have a golden hen.

The clan has obtained the cultivation method, but they still need to find someone to cultivate it. Since that's the case, it would be better for Lu Yang to cultivate it himself first, and then exchange it for contribution points with the clan after he has the finished product.

By then, Lu Yang's cultivation level will have risen, and since he belongs to the Spirit Plant Hall, he can use this as leverage to control the cultivation of the An Shen Mu in the clan.

With the help of the community, we can plant the An Shen Mu tree on a large scale. The family will eat the meat, and Lu Yang will drink the soup. Everyone will be happy. That would be the best outcome.

In addition to this piece of calming wood root, Lu Yang also had Lu Yunxia post a message in the Spirit Plant Hall that any spirit plant cultivator in the clan whose spirit field is on Qingcang Mountain can ask him to help with their spells.

Two spirit stones per session, all included.

Now that Lu Yang has some free time, he naturally wants to start earning good fortune.

Lu Yang has already obtained experimental results from Lu Jie. He helps others cultivate spiritual fields, and judging from the results, Lu Yang can indeed share in their fortune.

Frequent casting of spells can also increase proficiency in spirit plant magic, killing two birds with one stone, isn't that wonderful?

Qingcang River.

After leaving the Spirit Plant Hall, Lu Yang headed straight for the Qingcang River, the place where he had caught the Golden Jade Carp and obtained the Water Yin Talisman Scripture.

The small river in front of us can only be considered a tributary of the Qingcang River.

A place with both mountains and water is a treasure. The Qingcang Mountains stretch endlessly, and a great river flows around them, branching out from the mountains, with countless tributaries of the Qingcang River within the mountains.

Sitting by the river, Lu Yang cast his line and then set the fishing rod aside, waiting for the fish to bite.

He then used a small spirit-gathering technique to cast a spell on the Qingcang River. As Lu Yang cast his spell, drops of spiritual water gathered in his hand.

Seeing this, Lu Yang was delighted, "It really works."

Cultivating Antheraea japonica is not that easy.

It's not like Lu Yang can just plant the roots of the An Shen Mu in the spirit field and perform some kind of magic like he did with the Blood Tooth Rice, and then wait for the An Shen Mu to sprout.

If it were that easy, the Lu family wouldn't have been unable to figure out how to cultivate the An Shen Mu (a type of tree) for so long.

The first step in cultivating the An Shen Wood is to soak its roots in spiritual water to revitalize it and encourage the growth of new shoots for later use.

This step, however, requires three months of work.

Spiritual water is not easy to obtain. It is usually formed by the condensation of water veins of a certain grade. If you want to buy a finished product, the price is not low, and Lu Yang does not want to spend that money.

So he decided to come to the Qingcang River to try condensing spiritual water. The Minor Spirit Gathering Technique is used to condense spiritual objects, but if one is only at the beginner level, one will naturally be unable to condense spiritual water.

However, Lu Yang has now mastered the Lesser Spirit Gathering Technique to a minor level, and can now barely manage to condense spiritual water.

This spiritual water, though not as good as the advanced spiritual water sold outside, should be sufficient to promote the growth of the roots and stems of the Tranquilizing Tree.

puff!

"Hey, they've taken the bait!"
