: A year later,

The sun was scorching, the sky cloudless,

In a mountain valley, a dozen strong handymen were braving the sun, waving hoes and sweating, not daring to slack off at all..

Suddenly, an eleven-year-old youth in green floated over and stood in the middle of the farmland.

The youth chanted a few incantations, then pinched a talisman paper with both fingers. With a pinch of both hands, the talisman paper spontaneously ignited without fire.

"Spring weathering rain, disease!"

The youth pointed at the sky, and the talisman fire flew into the sky. Then, a muffled sound was emitted.

There was no cloud in the sky, but a drizzle drifted down, bringing a cool breeze to the hot valley.

The spiritual plants in the farmland continue to grow slowly under the moisture of rain.

The servants looked at the youth with envy and discussed among themselves,

"Immortal Master Qin, you're getting more and more familiar with this nectar descending spell..”

"Sigh, if only I could learn immortal techniques too!"

" Pui, with your silly appearance, Wang Sanwa, you're qualified to learn immortal techniques?"

What followed was an argument,

Shi Yu's youth turned a deaf ear to this and began to patrol this spiritual field of several hundred acres.

This youth was naturally Qin Feng..

Three months ago, Qin Feng turned twelve years old and was sent down the mountain by Master Xuan Yin to manage this spiritual field and accumulate sect merit points..

In the Netherworld Ghost Sect, the bottom and core were composed of servants, outer disciples, inner disciples, and true disciples.

Among them, servants and external disciples had to shoulder a lot of chores, but they enjoyed the least sect resources and did not even have much time for cultivation..

Successive disciples have a high status. They don't have to do any chores. They can freely enter and exit the sect's library. They only need to concentrate on cultivation and obey the sect's orders when something happens..

Inner disciples were somewhere between the two. They were not as carefree as legacy disciples, and they did not have to do those messy chores. They only needed to complete a certain amount of sect merits every year..

As for inner court disciples like Qin Feng, who were directly sent to handle specific chores, it was rare. It was a bit like an official of the imperial court being sent to a remote place to take up a post.

It was not difficult for Qin Feng, who was already at the fourth qi layer, to manage a spiritual field well, but it was extremely troublesome and annoying.

Every morning, noon and evening, he performed the Spring Weathering Rain Formula and supervised those handymen to dig the soil, weed and take care of the spiritual plants.

The purpose of turning the soil is to allow the spiritual plants to fully absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If the weeds are not removed in time, they will compete for the nutrients of the crops and affect the harvest..

If they encountered some special weeds, those handymen would not be able to remove them. They needed a cultivator like Qin Feng to personally take action..

In addition, there will be some bugs and rats eating spirit plants in Tanaka, and Qin Feng must also eliminate them in time.

Otherwise, if the production of this ling field he managed decreased greatly, Qin Feng would not only lose his merit, but would instead be penalized by the Reward and Punishment Hall of the General Affairs Peak..

As such, Qin Feng naturally could not concentrate on cultivation every day like before.

So at first, he was very resistant to the job.

However, Qin Feng slowly discovered that ever since he was " sent " to this place, the entire world seemed to have become much cleaner.

Even Seventh Junior Brother Lu Youwei didn't come looking for him.

For such a change, if someone else would feel depressed,

：.However, Qin Feng was completely comfortable with this. He felt that he could finally be a quiet person in the Dao.

As for delaying his cultivation, don't forget that Qin Feng obtained a bottle of Jade Marrow Pills from the Glazed Pagoda!

Thus, Qin Feng spent the next few days in the secluded valley of Xuanyin Peak, tending to the spiritual fields while consuming Chalcedony Pills to cultivate. His cultivation began to advance by leaps and bounds, but no one knew about it.

Winter goes and spring comes, everything revives,

Qin Feng had also opened up a small piece of spiritual field in the courtyard where he lived.

At this moment, Qin Feng had already learned a lot of knowledge related to spiritual plants besides working and practicing.

He planted sunflowers in sunny places, ice cicadas in shady places, and wind grass in corners.

Qin Feng planted ginseng and ganoderma lucidum in the gaps between each sunflower..

These ginseng and nyingchi often needed to grow for hundreds or thousands of years to harvest. Qin Feng only hoped that after planting them, there would be fewer weeds..

Qin Feng had spent a lot of effort on this small piece of spiritual field.

After all, no matter how good the harvest of the several hundred mu of spiritual fields in the valley outside was, most of what they obtained needed to be handed over to the sect.

For example, last year, Qin Feng worked hard for a whole year, but in the end, he only received 50 sect merit points and 60 Tier 1 spirit stones as rewards..

As for the courtyard, the spiritual field was a little small, but the output could all belong to Qin Feng..

"I'll steal some spiritual spring water and spiritual land later, and transform the empty space behind the house into spiritual fields. No, how can it be called stealing when it's a scholar's business? After all, the wool of the government will not be collected until it's white..”

Qin Feng sat on the threshold, eating the fragrant spiritual rice while planning in his heart what kind of cost-effective plants he should plant after the spiritual fields behind the house were reconstructed..

Sunset, tired birds return to the forest,

Qin Feng carried a basket of spiritual soil and took a detour to a mountain forest. After spending a lot of effort, he finally sneaked back to his residence..

This spiritual soil had been watered and moistened by the spiritual spring for many years, and even its weight was much heavier than ordinary soil.

Therefore, even with Qin Feng's Qi Refinement Stage 7 cultivation, he couldn't help but sweat and pant after memorizing it for a long time..

"I saw Cao Yu go down the mountain and buy a storage bag. It can store the Sumeru Space. If I had this too, it would be much more convenient to steal the spiritual soil and spring..”

Unfortunately, the storage bag was not cheap in the cultivation market. It cost a total of 100 Tier 1 spirit stones. Qin Feng could not bear to buy it..

Qin Feng leaned against a huge rock and prepared to rest for a while before leaving.

Suddenly, several ape cries came from above the boulder.

Thus, Qin Feng put down his basket and leaped up like a swallow. After a few ups and downs, he reached the top of the boulder and saw a white female ape and two ape cubs at a glance..

There were many bloodstains all over the female monkey's body. When she walked over, she was already dead. The two cubs did not know it. They still lay on it and called out a few words from time to time..

Qin Feng also discovered that there were many bird feathers scattered nearby, which were obviously left behind after a fierce battle.

"Hey, what is this?"

The female monkey was still holding onto something tightly until her death. After she finally broke it out, she discovered that it was actually a crystal clear red fruit. Although it had not yet entered her mouth, it was already full of fruity fragrance. It looked very unusual..

Qin Feng stared at it for a while and smiled.

" Heh, it looks a bit like the longevity vermilion fruit recorded in the sect's ancient records. One fruit can increase one's lifespan by 500 years."

However, there was no such thing as a pie falling from the sky. Qin Feng did not take it seriously. He kept the fruit in his bag and picked up the golden feathers on the ground one by one. He planned to take them back and make a feather duster.

After that, he dug a hole beside the boulder and buried the female monkey. Only then did he pick up a baby ape in one hand and rush to his residence under the afterglow of the sunset.
