Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

Chapter 5: Beginning Cultivation

Early tomorrow morning, I will make time to sell the Spirit Rice and then go to the market for a stroll.

He quickly produced enough spiritual grains and began using a stone mill to remove the husks from the Spirit Rice.

...

The proficiency of this skill increased quickly, and the skill level reached Perfection.

However, to break through to Transcendent, he still needed over 8,000 points of proficiency, so it couldn't be achieved in a short time.

As the stone mill continued to turn, the husks of the Spirit Rice gradually cracked open, revealing the sparkling and translucent Spirit Rice that shone like gemstones, emitting an enticing aroma of rice.

Chu Ming's technique was skilled and efficient, and he quickly milled over 600 catties of Spirit Rice.

He divided them into four sacks, each containing 150 catties, and then carried two sacks out of the courtyard.

"Junior Brother Zhou, you've been waiting for a long time. I've already prepared 300 catties of Spirit Rice for you, not a single catty less," Chu Ming said with a smile, bending down respectfully.

Zhou Junyi, who was meditating on the ground, opened his eyes and stood up when he heard Chu Ming speak.

Then he took out a blue silk pouch from his waist and sucked the two sacks into it.

A storage Law Weapon!

Chu Ming looked at it with envy. It would be great if he could have one of those.

But this thing probably couldn't be bought even with over 200 spiritual stones.

He could only wait until he sold all the high-yield Spirit Rice seeds and then find a way to get one.

After Zhou Junyi received the Spirit Rice and put away the silk pouch, he gave an expressionless order, "Work hard on farming. Next month, I'll still need 300 catties."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Watching his departing figure, Chu Ming sneered inwardly.

You like eating my rice, don't you? If there's no good rice, you'll have to settle for mediocre rice.

With double the output now, if he planted 300 catties of mediocre rice, he would harvest 600 catties, which he could then distribute to the two of them.

But upon further consideration, he felt that it wasn't appropriate.

If both of them developed the same symptoms, it would be easy to suspect that there was something wrong with his Spirit Rice.

And he hadn't checked the plants in the other two mu of land yet to see if there were any other mutated plants.

In the first mu of land, he discovered a mutated plant called Chen Rice, which produced stale rice from the beginning and was completely useless.

In the second mu of land, he found a plant with lighter-colored leaves.

[Discovered Mutation Spirit Rice Plant: Aphrodisiac Spirit Rice Plant]

[A plant containing aphrodisiac toxins. Apart from slightly lighter-colored leaves, most of its characteristics are not significantly different from ordinary Low Grade Spirit Rice plants.]

[With prolonged consumption, the toxins will accumulate and the symptoms will become more pronounced, requiring a dual cultivation method to detoxify.]

[However, compared to males, it is more difficult to eliminate the toxins from females.]

Seeing this description, Chu Ming's eyes lit up. This Spirit Rice could be used to give to Zhou Junyi, right?

He only meets his lover once a month, and even if he can detoxify, it would be even more difficult for his lover to detoxify.

In that case, the woman would probably not be able to withstand the loneliness.

Zhou Junyi is a pure-hearted person and cares a lot about his reputation.

If his woman really did something to betray him, he would probably be furious.

This would be the most appropriate revenge.

Next, Chu Ming matured all the useful mutated plants and saved the seeds.

He also matured several waves of mediocre Spirit Rice and aphrodisiac Spirit Rice, accumulating enough seeds.

He pulled out all the spiritual seedlings in over one mu of spiritual fields, then planted the seeds of mediocre Spirit Rice and aphrodisiac Spirit Rice, using the Cloud Rain Technique and Maturing Technique to make them sprout.

Each type of Spirit Rice has an estimated yield of 160 catties, and after doubling, the output is over 300 catties.

Apart from what is handed over, there is still a large amount of seeds left for further planting.

The color of these two types of Spirit Seedlings is slightly different from that of ordinary Spirit Communication Seedlings, but it is not obvious. If you don't observe carefully, others won't be able to tell.

And he can easily distinguish between the three types of Spirit Rice, so he won't mix them up in the future.

Then he pulled out the excess Spirit Seedlings from the other Spirit Fields.

He naturally wouldn't throw away these Spirit Seedlings. They are full of spiritual energy and the taste must be good.

After putting the Spirit Seedlings into the basket, he happened to see Ji Rong's figure from a distance.

So he carried the basket back to the thatched cottage and hid it, then walked into the warehouse and carried two sacks of Spirit Rice to wait outside the courtyard gate.

When Ji Rong came, Chu Ming walked over with the sacks and smiled, "Senior Ji, the 300 catties of Spirit Rice are ready, not a single one less."

Ji Rong patted Chu Ming's shoulder and smiled, "Well done, Junior Brother, you are righteous."

"By the way, I want to remind you that we just cleared a group of stray bats that broke into the mountain gate."

"The big ones are mostly taken care of, but two or three small ones escaped and may be wandering nearby."

"Be careful tonight and make sure your cow doesn't get bitten."

Chu Ming asked with some concern, "What kind of bats are they? Are they dangerous?"

Ji Rong shook his head and smiled, "At most, they are at the Qi Refining Second Layer, maybe a little stronger than you."

"If you can't handle it, just hide in the house."

"Of course, they may not come your way, but it's best to close the cowshed and the door."

Feeling a bit disrespected, Chu Ming felt a little unhappy.

But he still thanked, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother."

Ji Rong laughed, "Hey, why be polite with me, we are all brothers."

After that, he used the storage ring on his middle finger to put the two sacks of Spirit Rice into it, turned around, and left.

By this time, it was getting late and no one should come anymore.

Chu Ming went back to the warehouse first, packed all the remaining Spirit Rice, and put them in sacks.

He didn't throw away the rice bran either, he collected all of it, there were also several large bags.

There was still some spiritual energy left in these rice bran, although it was difficult to eat and didn't have much spiritual energy.

But most of the low-level cultivators didn't mind, they were already happy to eat spiritual rice bran.

The original owner rarely ate Spirit Rice, he usually mixed spiritual rice bran with ordinary rice to make rice.

The accumulated Spirit Rice, he used them to exchange for spirit stones, and then used the spirit stones to buy cultivation pills and daily necessities.

However, tonight Chu Ming could indulge himself a bit. He took a basket of Spirit Rice to the thatched cottage, steamed a catty of Spirit Rice in a pot.

Then he took down a piece of cured pork hanging on the wall and stir-fried it with the Spirit Seedlings. The colors were red and green, shiny and appetizing.

[ Culinary Skill: Proficiency +1 ]

In a short while, the Spirit Rice was cooked. When he opened the lid, a strong aroma of rice wafted out.

He couldn't wait to get a bowl and chopsticks, and enjoyed it heartily.

As the Spirit Rice entered his mouth, a sweet aroma filled his mouth. Chu Ming couldn't help but squint his eyes, completely intoxicated.

Such an excellent delicacy truly made people intoxicated.

Any delicacy he had eaten in his past life was not comparable to Spirit Rice.

The stir-fried Spirit Seedlings were also delicious, crispy and refreshing, while the cured pork seemed ordinary.

Compared to the food of mortals, the food of cultivators was really far superior.

And as the Spirit Rice in his stomach was digested, he could clearly feel the spiritual energy spreading throughout his body.

After quickly finishing the remaining rice, he immediately sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, ready to cultivate, so as not to waste this hard-earned spiritual energy.

Adjusted the previous data a bit.
