Chapter 200: Artifact Crafting Skill Beginner
Before they parted ways, Yu Caiqing mentioned she would visit the Spirit Farm once she wrapped up her duties at the Pill Tower.
She didn’t specify a time. She didn’t say why.
Jiang Chen was mildly surprised by the vagueness, but he knew better than to pry. He simply nodded and returned to his routine.
He spent the following days in his study, buried in the talisman manuals he had acquired from Bai Xiaotian. While he could use his Spiritual Sense to instantly “scan” the books and upload the raw data to his brain, true comprehension required active study. He needed to understand the logic behind the ink, not just memorize the shapes.
Time slipped by unnoticed, until the day of the harvest finally arrived.
Jiang Chen stood at the edge of his fields, gazing out at a sea of gold.
The [Mutated Spirit Rice] had transformed. Aside from the Mutated Mother Stalk, which remained relatively compact, the offspring stalks had shot up to two meters in height. Bathed in the concentrated sunlight and accelerated by the [Green Lotus Domain], they looked far more robust than the stunted wild versions he had found in the mountains.
The stalks were thick and sturdy, glowing with a faint, golden luminescence. A rich, nutty fragrance saturated the air, promising a bountiful yield.
Each stalk of the mutated rice bowed under the weight of six heavy, drooping grain ears. But the batch planted directly around the Mother Stalk was even more impressive, boasting twelve ears per stalk.
