Supreme Emperor of Mist

Same time, that night.

The framework of the fences surrounding the four plots of arable land was half complete when Qin Lan returned. But that was all to it. To make this field fertile enough for the Emerald Transformation Spirit Grass to thrive, Qin Lan knew that it will take more than what he has now.

His hand tapped once on the Purple-Dragon Spatial Jade on his waist and withdrew a box filled with white ashes inside.

This is what remained from his purchase a week ago when visiting the Hunter's Store in Fuyun City. The condition of these ashes that resembles a pot of clay powder was the core material for Qin Lan to achieve what he's aiming for.

Qin Lan soon directed his Spiritual Energy like a funnel. The white ashes that look light as flour was actually denser than people would think. Instead of flying around like a curtain of smokescreen, it scattered onto the ground beautifully.

Close to two incense sticks of time passed when Qin Lan finish scattering whatever he has in hand.

(Now, we'll have to wait for luck to do its part)

Qin Lan whispered to himself as he pats the remaining ashes off from his clothing. Walking back to the room he's chosen earlier inside the spiritual cave, Qin Lan took one of the Essence Transformation Pill and enjoyed the euphoric feeling it brought.

Since the requirement of manually sucking in the Spiritual Energy around him is now removed, Qin Lan was like a fish in the water. The benefit brought to him was tripled when it added up with what his Spiritual Container Body physique can do.

It was like a bottomless cup connected to Qin Lan's immature Dantian, which was developed once again through the help of the Mistral Flesh Diagram.

And unlike Qin Chan, Hu Jia, and Lu Qing Yun, there is no reason at all for Qin Lan to deepen his understanding of martial art and cultivation. What was in his mind was to purify the Spiritual Energy within his body.

Just like the differences in strength between a Spiritual Root Layer, Bone Reconstruction Layer, and Flesh Refining Layer cultivator, the quality of Spiritual Energy within their body play a crucial role in their cultivation.

Although all three layers of the Precelestial Realm were applying the same type of Spiritual Energy in execution, it was different when it comes to the "grade" of the energy.

And it was pointless to try and justify their similarity or differences. That's because, in the end, it was still measured using the measurement of a unit of Flesh Foundation Pill as the start of a guideline.

There was also a concern as it involves the "rule" set by the creator using the Five Governing Law of the World.

(Note: More to be added here on cultivation, but it wasn't the time to spoil it because of my recklessness! Let's say that although 1+1=2, it doesn't mean that 2-1=1. We have a tax when you gamble IRL. In Fiction, there are rules set by the higher being too. Which is me, Muahahaha!)

...

...

An ironic thought soon appeared in his mind as Qin Lan refines the natural Spiritual Energy around him.

(Will anyone ever thought that a miraculous cultivation pill like this actually came from the core of a poisonous herb?)

Qin Lan couldn't help but chuckles.

On the next two days, rain showered down onto the soil Qin Lan just fertilized. As there was nothing much he could do under the rain, Qin Lan turned into Pharmacist Lu once again as he shops around. This time, he bought a greater volume of materials compared to before.

There were also few materials crucial for him to set up a temporary Blessing of Earth to modify the soil's condition for the Emerald Transformation Spirit Grass to thrive.

On the morning of the third day, the process of planting the Spiritual Herbs began. There are only twenty blades of Emerald Transformation Spirit Grass in Qin Lan's hand. This means only two out of ten columns are being used in the first farmable plot.

As for the remaining columns, Qin Lan decided to use them efficiently for something else.

It was already evening by the time he's finished with his work. And it was only now Qin Lan noticed the disdainful looks from those walking past his spiritual cave.

"When did the quality of our Cloud Plucking Sect drop to this extent? If we need something to eat, just go to the nearby Ancestral Dragoncloud Forest to hunt for a beast or two. Why is this idiot planting grasses in his land?" one of them said.

"Fellow brother, you might have no idea, but I heard that there are more and more peasants in our sect now. Regular habits are hard to stop." another one laughed at Qin Lan, who's somewhat smeared by some dirt on his clothing.

As for Li Wei, his appearance is even worst. The lime powder and rice flour used to create a proper foundation for their "fence" are all over his cheap-looking rag clothing, making him appeared like a beggar in front of the others.

Both of them were ridiculed throughout their way as they "fortify" their stronghold. With how pitiful the farm devoid of wild grasses looked, not even a wild boar will come to graze on this piece of land.

"Fellow disciple Qin, I'm sorry for not able to stop them from speaking ill of us. But they have no bad intention at all, so I hope you'll be able to forgive them for being disrespectful." Li Wei raised the cup filled with Spiritual Gathering Dew as he speaks.

Even till this point, Li Wei was trying to amend what happened earlier.

(No wonder those people like senior brother Ding Chenyu and Leng Ching favored him. If it wasn't due to his limited talent, he would be an excellent candidate for a sect envoy or delegate)

Qin Lan raised his cup with both hands and accepted Li Wei's gesture.

"A generous person will forgive the mistake made by an ignorant person," Qin Lan said.

"They'll naturally notice that they're the frog in the well sooner or later when it's time," he added. Once the bottle of wine was finished, Qin Lan placed a pill bottle on the table.

"This is what we're going to make. Try it tonight and enjoy the miraculous effect it has. I'm sure you'll be surprised." Qin Lan decided to keep the information about the pill's effect from Li Wei as he wanted to see how someone like Li Wei will react.
