Chapter 360 - Chapter 360: Chapter 61: The Spirit Field on the Island (2/2)
Even in some southern parts of Li Yan Island.
Some Spirit Rice was also planted, attended to by those commoners, alongside a portion of cultivators.
The Spiritual Energy of the Demonic Monster Sea was much denser than that of the Nanming Domain, allowing the cultivation of Spirit Plants on just about any piece of fallow land available.
However.
Due to the scarcity of land in the Demonic Monster Sea and the relatively high number of cultivators,
even so, the price of low-grade Spirit Plants in the Demonic Monster Sea remained expensive, even pricier than they had been in the Nanming Domain.
……
Lin Jing followed the middle-aged beautiful woman, passing by the Spirit Field on their way towards the hills behind it.
When crossing the Spirit Field, Lin Jing took a special moment to examine it closely.
After a thorough inspection, Lin Jing determined that there was definitely an expert in the cultivation of Spirit Plants on the island, as each type of Spirit Plant was flourishing.
Clearly, this was the result of meticulous care.
Therefore, Lin Jing asked the middle-aged beautiful woman:
“May I know who is in charge of managing these Spirit Fields?”
The middle-aged beautiful woman then spoke up, saying to Lin Jing:
“To answer the Island Master Lin, these Spirit Fields are indeed under my management.”
Lin Jing continued his questioning:
“Are you skilled in the cultivation of Spirit Plants?”
The middle-aged beautiful woman bowed and said:
“Replying to Island Master Lin, I learned some from my father before, but I can only say I have a slight understanding; I wouldn’t consider myself an expert.”
Lin Jing, observing the robust growth of various Spirit Plants before him, couldn’t help but reevaluate the middle-aged beautiful woman.
The middle-aged beautiful woman was truly being modest.
It was no easy task to cultivate Spirit Plants to such a state on this island, with its complex weather conditions—something not just anyone could achieve.
After observing for a while, Lin Jing continued to follow the middle-aged beautiful woman up towards the hill.
Atop the hill, they were halted by a Formation.
Lin Jing took out a Token, placed it on the Formation, which then opened, and both he and the middle-aged beautiful woman walked in.
As soon as they entered the Formation, Lin Jing noticed that the area at the top of the hill was distinct from the bottom.
Above the hill, the Spiritual Energy was even more abundant than below, and even the air seemed dryer.
Then, Lin Jing looked up and ahead.
At the summit before them, there was a house, and beside it, a Pill Furnace room that was almost as large as the house itself.
Next to the Pill Furnace room were two Spirit Fields, not very large in area.
Within those Spirit Fields grew the Biling Flower, Rockheart Grass, Moon Mulberry Spirit Fruit, Washing Spirit Grass, among others…
Several third-rank Spirit Plants flourishing inside.
This…
They were actually two plots capable of cultivating third-rank Spirit Plants, high-grade Spirit Fields.
Lin Jing then went up to inspect these higher-level Spirit Fields.
These third-rank Spirit Plants, like the lower-rank ones below, were also thriving.
And these Spirit Plants were also being taken care of by the middle-aged beautiful woman.
It seemed evident that the middle-aged beautiful woman was indeed highly proficient in the cultivation of Spirit Plants.
Otherwise, Dai Mao’s subordinates wouldn’t have entrusted these Spirit Plants to her care so confidently.
Afterward, Lin Jing asked for the middle-aged beautiful woman’s name; when he learned she was called Yue Qi, he addressed her as Lady Qi.
When Lin Jing and Lady Qi stepped into the Pill Furnace room, what first caught his eye was the massive Pill Furnace.
Upon seeing the Pill Furnace, Lin Jing walked straight up and started checking it out.
After his inspection, Lin Jing couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
The Pill Furnace was indeed as Lu Youjiu had said, nothing special.
Its material quality was even inferior to his own Fire Meteor Four-Pattern Furnace.
Following that.
Lin Jing surveyed the Pill Furnace room a bit more.
However, in the end, he found nothing of interest.
After inspecting the Pill Furnace room, Lin Jing entered the cabin to look around; it was a resting place with nothing inside.
Subsequently, Lin Jing took Lady Qi down the hill to rendezvous with Youjiu and the others…
……
Before long, half a month had passed,
Half a month ago, they went to the Hall of Pacts, completed their task handover, then purchased some Spirit Plants for Alchemy and materials needed for setting up Formations before heading straight back to Li Yan Island.
However, one person was an exception.
That was Lu Youjiu.
In Bihai City, after the purchases were made, Lu Youjiu piloted the Flying Boat to send the others back to Li Yan Island.
He then directly drove the Flying Boat away, stating he was on a quest to find a suitable Pill Furnace for Lin Jing.
That trip lasted half a month.
Up until now, he hadn’t returned.
Meanwhile, Lin Jing and the others had become busy.
Holaw Three Rivers spent his days in the square, studying the fifth-rank Trap-Killing Formation.
And Lin Jing had taken over the Pill Furnace room on the previously mentioned hill as his own territory.
After all, that place was relatively quiet and free of disturbances.
Yan Wanfei…
Besides cultivating, had also taken on the duty to defend the island.
He didn’t involve himself in the island’s management.
He left it entirely to Yue Qi and a few other original cultivators of Li Yan Island.
But this arrangement was for the better.
If he had been managing, Lin Jing had no doubt.
The entire Li Yan Island would have inevitably become a complete mess.
