167 Becoming a Farming Expert (2)

After all, even though the spirit fields all over the mountains looked impressive, his profit margins would be low compared to other professions.

However, Jiang Ming had a good impression of the Plant Hall. Just the fact that it had hardly any enemies could make up for its other shortcomings.

Jiang Ming pondered for a moment. Finally, he nodded slowly. “If that’s the case, then I’ll take you up on your offer.”

It was good to have ties with immortal cultivators who worked in the government. He could know in advance what was going on, which would make it easier for him to pack up and leave.

“That’s right, you can also take on missions privately. However, if anything happens, it will have nothing to do with Xiaoqian Mountain.”

Jiang Ming quickly nodded in agreement.

“Alright, then it’s settled!”

Feng He walked to a big table and pointed to a map. Many places were marked in red and green. “Since you’ve joined the Plant Hall, you can choose any spirit field you want. The average harvest for each acre of land is about one bucket of spirit rice. Ordinary cultivators need to pay seven buckets of rice as rent, but we only need to pay three buckets. You’ve mastered the Misty Rain Technique. You’ll probably harvest two or three more buckets than average.”

Jiang Ming almost frowned. They were basically paying him pennies. However, this was still better than going out on his own and making enemies.

“Then I’ll rent three acres of land first. I heard from the guard at the gate that the newly cultivated rice fields are not bad.”

With his strength, taking care of several acres of land would be a breeze. However, Jiang Ming did not want to expose too much about himself. Moreover, he still wanted to live a relaxed life.

“Sure, let’s put you at the small green peak. There’s a low-level immortal’s cave nearby. Therefore, it’s also under your name. As a member of the Plant Hall, your housing is free. If you want higher-level housing, you have to rent or buy it yourself.”

As he spoke, Feng He took out a black iron plate, carved Jiang Ming’s details on it, and handed it to Jiang Ming.

“This is your ident.i.ty card, and it will open the cave. By the way, when you have time, go to the headquarters of the Plant Hall to get some seeds. The seeds are free.”

Jiang Ming thanked him. He could not help but sigh internally. Even if the Plant Hall had the lowest status among official organizations, their benefits made up for everything.

Jiang Ming spent some time shopping before he went to his cave.

One could tell that it was cheap housing. The spiritual energy in the area was not the strongest.

Jiang Ming sighed and injected his spiritual power into the ident.i.ty card. The card emitted a green light, and Jiang Ming was allowed to step inside.

There were three rooms inside and the furnis.h.i.+ngs were spa.r.s.e.

“It’s good enough that it’s free.”

Jiang Ming shook his head and began to clean the yard.

The spiritual energy here was indeed about twice as rich as that of the outside world.

“Maybe I can break through to the late stage of the Qi Refinement Realm if I cultivate here,” Jiang Ming thought.

That night, Jiang Ming sat in his empty room and began to practice the Five Elemental Arts.

The rich spiritual energy surged. Jiang Ming’s cultivation, which had stagnated for years, finally became restless again. Wisps of spiritual power continued to flow into his spiritual core.

At this rate, he would be able to break through his bottleneck in around a year.

“This is only natural cultivation! If I obtain spirit rice, spiritual medicine, or even spiritual pills, I’d break through even faster!”

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming quickly took a deep breath.

He would first become a farming expert, make friends, and figure out the various customs of Xiaoqian Mountain before thinking about other things.

Moreover, Jiang Ming also had a small stash of gold. The five immortal cultivators he killed earlier were all from the Fire Lotus Valley and the Qingyin Pavillion. They had a variety of things on them. He threw all their things into the storage ring and sealed it off.

“I’m new here. I can’t let anyone discover anything because of these things!”

The next morning, Jiang Ming walked out of the courtyard and went to the large spirit field at the foot of the mountain to inspect his own spirit field.

The spirit fields here seemed to be newly cultivated. Some weeds had not been removed yet. Next to his own fields, there were a few hard-working mid-stage Qi Refinement Realm immortal cultivators. Some of them had even begun to sow seeds.

Jiang Ming chatted with them and humbly asked them about farming skills.

After all, the Misty Rain Technique was only one aspect of farming. He would help these farmers for a few days and learn their tips and tricks.

Over the following days, Jiang Ming chatted with several neighbors in the field every day and enthusiastically helped them do some work. Gradually, he was also taught several key farming skills.

A month later, Jiang Ming sowed his first seeds.
