"Occupation 1: Farmer (To be unlocked)"

Career progress: 99.99%

……

……

In the eighteenth year of the Jingtai reign, south of Jiangzhou.

The Lingjiang River meanders for thousands of miles, and its banks have been one of the richest granaries and medicine stores under the rule of the Taoist sect since ancient times. Xiaopei County alone has 100,000 mu of fertile land.

It's harvest season, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and a refreshing autumn breeze is blowing.

Heave-ho, heave-ho.

Jiang Tu worked diligently to harvest the wheat.

"Tu-ge, take a break!" Uncle Tao, with his dark skin, straightened up and fanned himself vigorously with his straw hat. "We'll be done after we finish this patch today. Look over there—Old Sun and the others are already lounging under the tree drinking tea. You're the only one who's so stubborn!"

Jiang Tu didn't even look up: "Cut two more rows."

"You silly child, what's the harm in cutting off so much? You're working for the boss anyway, why work yourself to the bone?"

Jiang Tu then got up to catch his breath.

He was in his early twenties, tall and slender with broad shoulders. Although his skin was dark from years of exposure to the sun and wind, his facial features were well-defined, and he had a youthful and upright air about him. He was quite good-looking.

"Just a little more saving," he grinned, "I'm just a little short of money to rent two acres of land on my own. Isn't it better to grow and harvest my own crops than to work for someone else?"

Uncle Tao scoffed, "Who told you that? You really think renting land is a good thing?"

"Working from dawn till dusk, toiling in the fields, harvesting so little grain, more than half of which goes to rent! And then there's the 'peace money' paid to the Taoist priests... Do you think those traveling Taoist priests are there to ward off evil for free? If you get sick or have any misfortune, you're as good as dead! You might as well work for a landlord! At least the landlord provides meals, and gives out some rice and grain during festivals. You're only responsible for your own food, so why bother with all that effort?"

Several farmers who had taken a break nodded in agreement.

"That makes sense. Going it alone is never that easy."

"Tu-ge'er is still young, dreaming! He's probably thinking of renting land to marry a beautiful woman!"

Jiang Tu didn't refute, he just smiled and continued harvesting wheat.

They are both right.

In this strange and monstrous world, being able to eat is already a blessing, but he is different. He wants not only food, but also that damned progress bar!

It's just one step away from being a goal!

More than three years ago, he transmigrated here and became an orphan who grew up eating food from many families. His parents died in a disaster when he was seven years old. The villagers were unwilling to talk about the specifics, only saying that they were "possessed by that thing".

He grew up relying on the villagers' help, living in a dilapidated house at the end of the village, barely surviving by eating irregularly.

When Jiang Tu first transmigrated, he was also confused. In his previous life, he was an ordinary worker, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in this world of immortals and monsters.

Monsters roam everywhere, and ordinary forces are insufficient to kill them; only Taoist cultivators can contend with them.

He then discovered that the Golden Strategy was floating deep within his consciousness, with ancient seal script characters inscribed on it: "Sequence Golden Strategy".

Upon seeing the career progress bar, Jiang Tu had some guesses.

"This... is it a job change system? As long as I keep performing the corresponding job actions and accumulating progress, I can change jobs? This is great!"

Then, he worked diligently as a farmer for three years.

More than a thousand days and nights!

It wasn't that he had much perseverance; it was just that the world offered too few opportunities for ordinary people to make a living. The Taoist sect only accepted people with good aptitude for selecting disciples, but he had none of that. Other ways to make money also involved dealing with monsters and spirits, which were all dangerous jobs, so he wouldn't do them.

Let's just stick to farming!

Fortunately, there was a gate protecting the spawn point, so things were relatively peaceful.

Today, the progress bar is almost finished, so no matter how much Uncle Tao tries to persuade him, he has to finish the job!

As the sun began to set and evening approached, the convoy from the east arrived.

The manager in charge was a shrewd middle-aged man, followed by several employees.

"Hurry up! Get this harvested and loaded onto the trucks before dark!" Manager Qian shouted. "Take it to the county granary tonight, the grain collection team from Daomen will be here to inspect it tomorrow! Anyone who delays will have half their wages deducted!"

Farmers sped up their work, and Jiang Tu was among them.

"The last bundle!"

He threw the wheat onto the cart, and the driver nodded, tying it securely with straw rope.

Jiang Tu looked at the truck full of golden wheat ears and let out a long sigh.

The faint sound of bells could be heard in the distance.

clang--!

The sound of the great bell was deafening.

Career progress: 100%

Deep within my consciousness, a myriad of rays of light and auspicious colors shone forth.

A dazzling golden light surged like a tide, and a golden strategy emerged, containing a magnificent Daoist charm.

Jiang Tu was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but be overjoyed!

evolution?

Jiang Tu's pupils contracted.

So, this isn't a job change system in the game?

If he wasn't mistaken, Jin Ce wasn't simply providing him with a fixed profession that could be strengthened, but rather a completely new professional training sequence that could evolve from it.

No wonder it's called Sequence Gold Strategy!

Give it a try!

His consciousness quickly locked onto the [Evolution] option.

next moment!

boom--

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

A vast and magnificent land, like a dream, suddenly unfolds.

Mountains and rivers, sun, moon and stars, are all within sight.

The scene was ancient and desolate, carrying an indescribable sense of the passage of time.

"Loading the beginning of the Great Dao: Thirty thousand years ago, the Primordial Immortal Calamity..."

"Evolution begins!"

Swish!

The light shimmered.

Jiang Tu's consciousness soared infinitely, as if detaching from his physical body, transforming into a gentle breeze that swept across the land, traversing the long river of time for millennia, and instantly connecting the past and present—

[Sequence Evolution Log]

[Year 1]

The path to immortality was severed, and none of the high-ranking immortals and Buddhas escaped unscathed; they vanished without a trace.

Monsters roam freely, large swathes of immortal sects and Taoist territories have fallen, blessed lands have become forbidden zones, and billions of living beings are fleeing in panic. Without the protection of gods and Buddhas, and without celestial officials to subdue demons, mortals can only rely on themselves.

This year is historically known as the "First Year of the Collapse of Heaven".

[Year 5]

The surviving human cultivators from the old era strive to unite and maintain order, attempting to rebuild the status quo.

However, things did not go as planned. The backlash from the severing of the path to immortality was far beyond imagination. Thousands of great cultivators died suddenly in bizarre ways, and the remaining hundreds of millions of low-level cultivators suffered a decline in their cultivation, a sharp drop in their realm, and mental breakdown.

[Year 12]

Great famine.

Monsters roam freely, destroying all farmland and crops. There are no seeds, no livestock, and water is scarce. Starving people are everywhere, and people even exchange their own children to eat.

After that, the famine brewed more strange occurrences, and the human race could only keep leaving their homeland, stepping into the wasteland, and crossing the deadly lands.

[Year 20]

In the old era, the human race completed its first great migration of ten thousand miles, reclaiming the land in distant and desolate places, establishing its capital in [Auspicious Land], and starting anew.

They reclaimed wasteland, revived agriculture, and farmers became the backbone of the industry.

The magic arts are gone, the magical artifacts are gone, and the elixirs and panaceas no longer exist in the world. They can only sow and cultivate like ordinary people, day after day.

That year, Luo Jin was only twelve years old. Born into a slave family, he was a slave from birth, his life as insignificant as grass.

But on that day, he awakened his innate wisdom and became the first ninth-rank "farmer" in human history.

"—The Farm Road sequence has been unlocked—"

He was born with a profound knowledge of farming crops and the ability to identify weeds, as if he were a reincarnation of an old farmer.

He is cautious by nature.

In this world, it's a curse, not a blessing, for a slave to acquire abilities he shouldn't have!

So... he didn't make a fuss, but quietly used his knowledge to plow the soil three times deeper than others, sow seeds one degree more densely than others, and time his watering even more accurately than the sundial. The land was still the same, but the things he planted grew differently.

Gradually, he gained fame among the slaves. Other slaves secretly came to ask him about it. At first, Luo Jin kept it a secret, but as trust grew and he confirmed that the slaves were as cautious as he was and would not betray him, he began to quietly give advice to those around him.

He would give advice to anyone whose seedlings were turning yellow or whose crops were infested with insects.

That year, the slaves' harvest from the farmland increased by a full 20%.

The landlord was overjoyed and rewarded the slaves with meat and grain. From then on, the slaves no longer looked at Luo Jin as a little child, but with a hidden sense of awe.

[Year 22]

Luo Jin became even more cautious. He dared not display his abilities in public, and all his teaching was conducted at night.

"Loess soil is hard, clay soil is fertile, and peanuts can be grown in sandy soil. If you squeeze a handful of soil and then release it, and it clumps together without crumbling, it's good soil. If it crumbles at the slightest touch, it's barren soil. River water is muddy, well water is cold, and rainwater is excellent for watering vegetables. The east wind doesn't blow past dusk, and the west wind doesn't blow past dawn. Get up early to check the sky, and look at the clouds in the evening."

Luo Jin taught basic knowledge, but to the slaves it was like a book written in heaven!

Subsequently, some of the slaves began to awaken to their innate wisdom, and within a short year, he had trained eleven ninth-rank "farmers".

Luo Jin gathered everyone together and privately set rules: no one was allowed to show off their abilities outside, and when working, they should do the same as before, accepting scolding and bowing their heads as appropriate.

As Luo Jin began to educate the slaves, the "farmers" he cultivated regarded him as their second parents, and his own abilities improved rapidly.

Gradually, he could hear the earth, feel the underground moisture and nutrients when he was barefoot, and instantly judge how deep the land should be plowed and how many years it should rest.

Gradually, he was able to sense the crops and understand their emotions: when they were thirsty, hungry, uncomfortable from the sun, or in pain from insect bites... After soothing them, the yield increased significantly.

In June of the same year, he broke through the invisible shackles of the realm and broke through the realm in a blatant manner!

Eighth Rank - "Field Supervisor"!

He squatted on the edge of the field, his hands pressed against the ground, and the next moment, he disappeared into the earth.

Swish!

He had only moved three or five steps in the soil when he poked his head out of the field, panting heavily.

The art of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that can be used to escape from a small space)!

In this Dharma-ending Age where the path to immortality has been severed, this is nothing short of a miracle!

He dared not divulge the secret, keeping it hidden, and was already anticipating the harvest. He had a premonition that this year's harvest would be a record high.

"Evolution has been paused due to insufficient remaining evolutionary time."

"Settlement in progress—"

Evolutionary duration: 22 years and 6 months

"Historical Summary: Twenty years after the collapse of the heavens, the human race migrated thousands of miles and settled in the auspicious land. Agriculture revived. The slave Luo Jin awakened his innate wisdom and united his people with the methods of agriculture, teaching them how to cultivate. He pioneered the agricultural path among slaves, allowing them to cultivate without any innate talent or foundation. He awakened at the age of twelve, gathered a group of "farmers" at thirteen, and was promoted to the eighth rank of "field steward" at fourteen. Although he was of lowly status, he had the country in his heart. The fire of the agricultural path began from this moment."

"Settlement Reward: Sequence Points * 65, Luo Jin's Agricultural Knowledge Inheritance - Part 1, Luo Jin's Hoe"

"The agricultural path sequence has been unlocked, and we are loading the native fantasy world—"

"Loading... So, this world will henceforth give birth to true agricultural cultivators? Doesn't that mean..."

Jiang Tu was shocked, and a bold idea came to mind.

"By evolving through sequence-based strategies, have I truly pioneered a path of cultivation? A professional cultivation path that requires no innate talent?"
