Immortal Mystery Sequence: I Establish a Divine Duty for Heaven and Earth

Late at night, inside the Jiang Family Farm.

Jiang Tu's heart skipped a beat.

The first evolution achieved steady development of the agricultural path sequence based solely on basic professions. What will the second evolution bring, with blessings and special abilities?

He rubbed his hands together, his consciousness sinking into the depths of Jin Ce.

"Optional Evolution: Continue Evolution 001 / Start Evolution 002"

Jiang Tu pondered for a moment.

Starting over?

That would mean going through another year of cataclysmic upheaval, retracing the human race's migration across thousands of miles and establishing their rule in Ruitu, taking over twenty years to reach this point. He has only evolved for a little over five years in total, and cannot withstand such turmoil.

It's definitely a continuation of evolution!

Once we've accumulated enough evolution time, we can consider starting a new evolution. Starting from scratch has its advantages; different initial conditions, different blessings, and different class characteristics might create unique variations.

Right now, let's focus on thoroughly understanding line number 001.

"Continue the evolution!"

boom--

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

A vast and magnificent land suddenly unfolds, with mountains and rivers, sun, moon and stars, ancient and boundless, and the passage of time.

"Loading the local fantasy world model in full swing..."

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

"Evolutionary Number: 001 (Continuation)"

"Selected Profession: Farmer (lv2) (Trait: Good)"

"Selected Blessing: Favorable Weather and Abundant Harvests (1/1)"

(Note: There is currently only 1 blessing slot. Only 1 blessing can be added at a time. Each time the influence level of the real-world sequence increases, an additional blessing slot will be obtained.)

"Evolution begins!"

boom!

Jiang Tu's vision suddenly soared to infinite heights, and a breathtaking sight leaped before his eyes, sweeping across ten thousand years and descending over the ancient land of Rui, overlooking all living beings.

[Sequence Evolution Log]

[Year 22]

During the autumn harvest season, a refreshing breeze blows and the wheat fields ripple in the breeze.

The fields where Luo Jin and the other farmers worked yielded an unprecedented bumper harvest, with an astonishing output! The yield increased by more than 50%... and this was the result of their efforts to keep a low profile. If they had gone all out, the yield could have doubled.

The landlord was overjoyed and slaughtered pigs and sheep, held a banquet, and rewarded Luo Jin and others handsomely.

After a few rounds of drinks, the landlord promised, "You guys are really good farmers! Next year I'll allocate more manpower and land to you! Keep up the good work, and I won't treat you unfairly!"

When the news spread, the surrounding landowners all took notice.

Some were envious, some were curious, and some secretly recorded the slaves' actions, trying to imitate them poorly.

At the end of the same year.

Among the slaves, an underground force quietly took shape—[Old Farmer's Hall].

On the surface, Luo Jin's cousin Luo Dazhuang is the leader, but in reality, everyone puts Luo Jin first and regards him as the leader.

Luo Jin established three ironclad rules: first, never reveal one's extraordinary abilities; second, never preach to outsiders; and third, never engage in fierce or violent struggles. Those who violate these rules will be expelled at best, and executed at worst.

[Year 24]

The old farmer's hall expanded slowly, its influence gradually spreading to the surrounding fields, silent yet omnipresent.

The slaves were whispering amongst themselves.

"Have you heard? Those people at Old Farmer's Hall are really good at farming!"

"That's right. Last year, many places suffered from severe drought... While other places experienced reduced production, their harvest actually increased instead of decreasing."

"Do you think...they have some kind of secret?"

"Shh, keep your voice down! Don't let anyone hear."

Some daring slaves secretly came to ask for advice. Following Luo Jin's instructions, Luo Dazhuang accepted all comers but only taught them the most basic farming knowledge. He then sought out those who showed promise and provided them with in-depth instruction.

The slaves benefited immensely.

Gradually, people outside the slave community also noticed the development of this group of slaves. Many farmers who were not slaves were interested, and even some small landowners from the surrounding areas sent people to inquire, wanting to pay a lot of money to hire the slaves from the Old Farmers' Hall to guide their fields.

However, the Old Farmer's Hall adhered to its principles, taking slaves as its absolute foundation. Apart from the helpless slaves, no one else could expect to receive guidance or instruction.

This is why the slaves became increasingly united, with a leader, a common goal, and a united front against external threats!

[Year 26]

The number of "farmers" at Lao Nong Tang, ranked ninth, has officially surpassed one hundred.

Their influence expanded to the area of ​​a city, and every well-informed slave had heard rumors about the Old Farmer's Hall.

That year, the second eighth-rank "Tian Jun" was born.

Li Shitou.

This man was also born into slavery. He lost both his parents at a young age and was sold off several times. He eventually ended up in this field. He was resolute and quick-witted. Under Luo Jin's guidance, he awakened his innate wisdom and worked hard day and night, eventually becoming an eighth-rank official.

As the power of the Old Farmer's Hall grew, more and more people awakened their innate wisdom through Luo Jin's guidance and teachings, and Luo Jin's cultivation also continued to improve.

He became increasingly skilled in the art of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique for escaping underground). Although he could only use it once a day, the distance he could travel was getting farther and farther. From the initial few steps, he could travel hundreds of meters underground. Later, he could cross a village or town in an instant.

With bare feet, one can sense the fields within a radius of several miles, knowing exactly where the soil is soft, where there are underground water veins, and where it is suitable for reclamation.

Their understanding of the four seasons and celestial phenomena became increasingly profound. They could tell the weather within three days by looking up at the clouds, and they could predict the harvest of the coming year by bending down and grasping the soil.

He even gradually mastered the cultivation methods of dozens of medicinal herbs, such as those for stopping bleeding, expelling parasites, and calming the mind... These are all inexpensive herbs, but they are readily available everywhere.

Luo Jin remained low-key about this, behaving just like an ordinary slave.

He then implemented a strategy of secretly accumulating strength within the Old Farmer's Hall, leading the slaves to bypass the Auspicious Road and venture into remote, desolate areas to cultivate untouched wastelands.

On the new land, we planted both grains and medicinal herbs.

Luo Jin often said to those around him, "We are slaves, and our status as slaves cannot be changed. This is the law of Rui Tu. But our fate should not be determined by others. Sooner or later, we will not have to work for others and we will have our own land and our own new world."

Everyone listened attentively and kept it in mind.

Harvest season.

The people at the old farmer's hall were surprised to discover something strange.

The fields, carefully tended and cultivated by "farmers" and "field masters," not only saw a 30% increase in yield, but also produced some of the highest quality varieties.

Among thousands of ordinary wheat plants, there is one plant with ears of wheat as big as soybeans, each grain plump and full. If you casually rub a handful and chew it, you will feel a slight increase in strength. Just a few bites are enough to fill your stomach, and you will not feel hungry for several days.

In the rice paddies, a single rice stalk emits a faint glow in the night, as ethereal as a firefly, carrying a delicate fragrance. When cooked into porridge and eaten, it slightly enhances one's eyesight, making distant mountain silhouettes appear clearer.

When the news reached Luo Jin, he rushed to the fields that very night to investigate.

Under the moonlight, the rice swayed gently, the ears of rice drooping low, seemingly possessing a special quality.

Luo Jin reached out to touch it, and after hesitating for a long time, he gave the order—hide it.

That night, he ordered his men to carefully move all the specialty crops, roots and all, into the new fields.

Xintian is located in a secluded place, and outsiders can't find it at all.

After that, Luo Jin expanded the scale of land reclamation, selected the most reliable brothers from the old farmers' hall, and introduced more inconspicuous and cheap medicinal herbs... Those herbs were worthless, the herb farmers were too lazy to grow them, and the landlords looked down on them, but Luo Jin believed that if good quality could be produced from ordinary crops, then most medicinal herbs could too.

If the efficacy of the medicine can be greatly enhanced, these ubiquitous little things will become the true foundation for the development of Lao Nong Tang!

……

……

From this boundless height, overlooking the river, one is filled with awe.

The effects of the "good quality" characteristic are indeed ingenious, hiding surprises in the most common crops.

Wheat is like soybeans, and rice grows in the dim light; these are all creations brought about by their unique characteristics.

Luo Jin's strategy was consistent with his thinking: hide the good products and cultivate them secretly, selecting the best of the best and nurturing them slowly.

Not bad, he's showing signs of leadership!

Calm, cautious, and with a long-term vision.

This is the professional quality that a cultivator of the agricultural path should have!

Let's think about the existing stock...

Jiang Tu shook his head and mourned for him once again.

Furthermore, the evolution over the past few years has also made him notice a key detail—

All the cultivators of the agricultural path spread outwards from a single point, radiating outwards from Luo Jin, the key figure, and the core power of the Old Farmer's Hall. No other branch "farmers" were born in other parts of the Rui Tu land.

This may mean that... the professional sequence is indeed driven by inheritance, rather than being randomly generated everywhere!

Is that also the case in reality?

The agricultural cultivators who first emerged in Dajiang County will be the ones who will develop agricultural practices in all subsequent directions, all of which will revolve around Dajiang County and expand outwards.

Jiang Tu secretly noted down this guess.

The laws of evolution may not be entirely true in reality, but they can at least provide valuable references!

……

……

[Year 28]

The old farmer has secretly cultivated 150 mu of new land.

The land was located in a valley filled with miasma, surrounded by cliffs on all sides, accessible only by a hidden path. The soil was fertile and untouched. Luo Jin and his men secretly spent two whole years cutting down trees, burning wasteland, digging canals and diverting water, and forcibly carving out fertile land in this desolate place.

The valley was named Shennong Valley.

The valley has cultivated more than a dozen kinds of high-quality crops, each with its own unique characteristics, and there are also a few kinds of high-quality medicinal herbs.

The drug's effects are indeed far beyond what is common!

Take, for example, the superior hemostatic herb. When crushed and applied to a wound, the bleeding stops instantly, more than three times faster than ordinary herbs.

Luo Jin cherished it as a treasure and took care of it personally.

The total number of monks at the Old Farmer's Hall has exceeded 180.

Among them, there are already three people who hold the eighth rank of "Tian Jun".

Luo Jin, Li Shitou, and Luo Dazhuang. Luo Dazhuang broke through at the end of last year. He may not be as talented as Li Shitou, but he is hardworking and diligent. He studies hard day after day and has the guidance of the famous teacher Luo Jin. Finally, he also stepped into the threshold of the eighth grade.

However, as their power grew, so did their differences.

Li Shitou advocated for education for all, regardless of social status.

"Uniting slaves is ultimately a drop in the ocean! Those lowly farmers and herbalists aren't having an easy time either! They're willing to work for us, so why can't we take them in? Why do they have to be slaves?"

Luo Dazhuang immediately retorted, "The head of the hall said that stability is the priority right now! Those farmers have families and businesses, too many ties. If something goes wrong, who can bear the responsibility?"

"So you'll just quit because you can't handle the responsibility?" Li Shitou sneered. "You'll never achieve anything by hiding like this for a hundred years!"

The two argued back and forth, and everyone else also had their own opinions.

Luo Jin's attitude has always been clear: stability is the priority. Therefore, he has been suppressing Li Shitou, and Li Shitou has always respected Luo Jin, so no direct conflict has broken out.

In April, Luo Jin's cultivation had reached the limit of the eighth rank.

The number of times he could use Earth Escape Technique each day increased from once to three, and the range became increasingly wider. In the blink of an eye, he could break through the earth and traverse dozens of miles, and he could also dig pits, cut off water, and open roads in an instant... He sensed that a breakthrough was imminent. Above the eighth rank, there were the seventh rank, the sixth rank, and even higher... He needed to go into seclusion and focus all his efforts on breaking through!

Luo Dazhuang remained loyal by his side, never leaving his side, and helped him break through the barrier.

As for Li Shitou... he decided to take advantage of Luo Jin's seclusion to do something big, so he began to secretly contact farmers outside of the Old Farmer's Hall to test the waters and win over people.

The old farmer's house is about to be stormed.
