Chapter 14: Planting Trees by Predecessors, Enjoying the Shade by Successors
After bidding farewell to the Golden Core Ancestor, Lu Xuanji returned to his normal life.
At the foot of the mountain, he opened up spirit fields and planted Spirit Rice.
After advancing to the Third Layer of Qi Cultivation, the area of the spirit fields expanded, turning into three hundred acres.
A hundred acres were planted with Spirit Rice, and two hundred acres were planted with Spirit Medicine.
The Spirit Medicine and Spirit Rice planted were about half turned over to the clan, with the remainder being his own.
As for the Spirit Rice, it could be harvested once every three months. But the Spirit Medicine required ten years to harvest once.
During those ten years, it required careful care to prevent the Spirit Medicine from dying and to guard against Spiritual Insect infestations.
The Spirit Medicine planted had a low age, mainly to prepare for refining low-level Elixirs in the future.
Some clans plant Spirit Medicine that require decades, hundreds, or even a thousand years to mature. The time invested and planting cycle are long, but it’s necessary. Only by continuously cultivating like this can one have ample Spirit Medicine for Alchemy.
Relying solely on wild harvesting is neither stable nor safe.
