The land is too dry.
The seeds need water.
If it's specially arranged farmland, with rain falling on it and the water draining away, wouldn't it be possible to exchange it for Cultivation Points again with the Rain Summoning Technique in a very short time?
Currently, I have 9 Cultivation Points.
My Qi value is 5800 points, enough for 58 uses. The key is that one watering yields 2 Cultivation Points.
System: 'Host, do not entertain crooked thoughts. Be careful not to lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot.'
'As a small Cultivation farmer, it's much better for you to Cultivate the land diligently. Don't forget, the greatest harvest comes when the plants mature.'
Li Ping'an pouted, "System, how can you eavesdrop on others' thoughts? Do you have any professionalism left?"
System: 'I don't need to eavesdrop, okay?'
"Hmph~" Li Ping'an snorted lightly and continued to wield his hoe, planting corn.
(Ding: Planted one mu of land, Cultivation Points +1)
Continue planting. I need to plant all of this tilled land.
(Ding: Planted one mu of land, Cultivation Points +1)
"Rain come."
Li Ping'an waved his hand, 100 Qi value was deducted, and sweet dew fell from the sky.
After casting it six times in a row, only 5200 Qi value remained, and Cultivation Points reached 23.
"This harvest is quite considerable."
It was almost noon, and the scorching sun made him a little dizzy.
Li Ping'an had brought dry rations. He found a cool spot to sit down, crossed his legs, and took a delightful bite.
This steamed bun was really hard!
System: 'Host, you are truly foolishly happy. What kind of harvest is this? At most, it's just bones. The reward for mature plants is the real fat meat!'
Li Ping'an scratched his head, "So, is there a way to make plants grow and ripen quickly?"
System: 'Yes, this System has the Great Earth Spirit Catalysis Technique, Myriad Things Growth Technique, and Poison Rain Ripening Technique. Those Immortal Sects also have some secret techniques.'
Li Ping'an asked again, "Let's not talk about Immortal Sects. Just tell me about your three techniques. How do I use them?"
System: 'That depends on the Host's ability, on when you can obtain this kind of reward.'
'This kind of reward is a type of mysterious item. You can only get a chance to obtain it through the 'beginning to end' reward triggered after harvesting crops.'
'Moreover, this kind of reward is also related to the harvest, so the Host must plant more, take more care, and work harder.'
'Also, let me tell you a secret: if you master the Blessed Land Secret Realm, you can also plant there regardless of the season, specifically choosing those with short ripening cycles.'
"Oh, you're quite a good System."
Li Ping'an found that sentence very useful.
For example, corn's ripening cycle is much shorter than wheat's.
"Why is the Mother Tiger here again?"
Li Ping'an had just finished a steamed bun when he saw An Ruoyi approaching on horseback.
He was a little worried. If he was forcibly stopped from farming, that wouldn't be good.
After all, he had met his father-in-law when he left in the morning. Although he didn't say anything, he would definitely talk to An Ruoyi.
"Whoa~"
An Ruoyi reined in her horse and dismounted.
She tied her horse to a tree, took down the bamboo basket, and came to Li Ping'an's side, "For lunch, just steamed buns?"
"Mm." Li Ping'an nodded, "I've made so many mistakes, I need to save money."
An Ruoyi opened the bamboo basket and took out the food inside: roasted chicken, cold dishes, and fruit wine. "Eat these."
Li Ping'an scratched his head, "Mother Tiger, why are you suddenly so nice to me?"
"Is it not okay that I owed you in my previous life?" An Ruoyi glared at Li Ping'an in annoyance and said fiercely, "I'll fatten you up, so I, this Mother Tiger, can have a good feast."
Li Ping'an chuckled mischievously, "Alright, then I'll eat more. When the time comes, I'll let you eat your fill, hehe."
An Ruoyi had already eaten.
She glanced at the farmland and asked suspiciously, "Did it rain here?"
Li Ping'an nodded, "Mm, it rained for a little while."
An Ruoyi looked around again, "This rain is really strange, it only rained on those two plots of farmland."
Li Ping'an took a bite of chicken and said, "It's summer, so it's all localized rain, it falls wherever it wants. Aren't you going to come over and eat some with me?"
An Ruoyi found a rock and sat down, "I've eaten. Ping'an, have you ever thought about studying and achieving fame?"
"No, I'm not that type." Li Ping'an shook his head, "My dream is to enter an Immortal Sect and plant Spirit Medicine and Spirit Rice."
"Then I'll secretly bring some back for you all, so you can all live longer lives, and it will also help your cultivation."
An Ruoyi frowned, "You can't enter an Immortal Sect by just farming."
Li Ping'an said seriously, "There's a chance. I believe in myself, and you should believe in me too!"
An Ruoyi didn't say much.
Anyway, this temporarily useless husband also had some dreams, which was a good thing.
After eating and drinking their fill, An Ruoyi rode away, instructing before she left, "Go back to the city early, don't get locked out of the city again."
Li Ping'an made a gesture, "OJBK."
An Ruoyi was puzzled, "OJBK? What does that mean?"
Li Ping'an explained, "It means... no problem."
"You have too many local sayings." An Ruoyi rode off into the distance, disappearing down the tree-lined path...
Li Ping'an lay down to rest.
At the same time, he locked in 23 Cultivation Points and put them to use.
(Ding: Deducting 10 Cultivation Points, Strength value increased by 100 points.)
(Ding: Deducting 10 Cultivation Points, Defense value increased by 100 points.)
(Ding: Deducting 3 Cultivation Points, Speed value increased by 30 points.)
As the sound fell.
Li Ping'an instinctively stretched.
A trace of Qi, born from who knows where, surged into his body, increasing his strength and making his muscles, tendons, and skin tougher.
His Combat Power reached 43 points.
Just a little more effort, and he would soon be comparable to a Qi Condensation Realm First Layer Cultivator.
However, this was just a comparison.
Whether he could actually defeat them was still unknown, after all, they cultivated Cultivation Techniques, and he couldn't just summon clouds and rain to relieve their heat.
"Keep working hard."
The improvement in his Physique made all weariness disappear.
Li Ping'an carried his hoe, found a relatively flat plot of land, and began to clear it.
He didn't know if it was due to his improved Physique, but being under the scorching sun now, he didn't feel as uncomfortably hot.
System: 'One, two, three, swing the hoe! Four, five, six, hurry up and work hard!'
'Seven, eight, nine, watch your toes!'
'As long as the hoe is swung well, there's no corner that can't be dug down!'
'As long as the big pit is dug well, demons and monsters can't escape!'
This System had become enlightened.
Feeling Li Ping'an was lonely, it started chanting slogans to cheer him on.
Li Ping'an's strength was much greater than yesterday, and his speed had also improved significantly.
When he swung the hoe at full speed, it was like a fire wheel, kicking up clouds of dust.
Two hours later, he had cleared five mu of land.
This was more than double the two mu he cleared yesterday afternoon.
He had a total of 5 Cultivation Points.
On his way back to the city, Li Ping'an used all of them on his speed, increasing his Speed value to 90 points and his Combat Power to 48 points.
He was almost comparable to half a Qi Condensation Realm First Layer Cultivator. It could be said that his progress was immense, and his future was promising!
In addition,
running with 90 points of Speed was much faster. When he reached the city gate, they weren't even ready to close it yet.
Zhang Tiepeng chuckled mockingly, "Oh, you actually have a memory. You're back quite early today."
Li Ping'an glanced at Zhang Tiepeng, "You better say less, don't stir up trouble for no reason."
"Isn't peaceful development better? You're like a dung beetle crawling into a flour bin, only you're the black one that stands out."
After speaking, he left directly.
He even swung his hoe a few more times fiercely, "Hoe, hoe, no eyes, if it smashes someone, I don't care."
"Damn it, I'll let you be smug!" Zhang Tiepeng's face was filled with anger, and he secretly vowed revenge.
City Lord's Mansion, backyard.
After dinner, they talked until dark.
Li Ping'an then returned to his room to sleep, while An Ruoyi sat cross-legged on the bed and entered cultivation.
She had been stuck at the Peak of Qi Condensation Realm Ninth Layer for a long time, always unable to touch the opportunity for a Breakthrough.
The next day, the weather was clear.
After Li Ping'an ate, he left the city.
A morning of hard work earned him 25 Cultivation Points.
At noon, An Ruoyi came again to deliver food. Her thoughtfulness truly made him feel a little impulsive.
However,
she wouldn't let him touch her, which was quite frustrating.
Li Ping'an had also come to terms with it. Since his wife's family didn't dislike him, he would just endure it. He couldn't ruin his wife's path to immortality.
Anyway, he would eventually enter the Spirit Field.
At worst, he still had his ancestral skill. Using it a few times secretly wouldn't hurt, and who would laugh at whom?
Over the next eight days.
Li Ping'an did the same thing every day, and the Cultivation Points he harvested increased daily.
An Ruoyi came every noon to deliver delicious meals, and they were never the same.
Now.
Li Ping'an had gained considerable experience in farming.
All Cultivation Points, except for 20 points used to replenish Qi value, were distributed among Strength, Defense, and Speed attributes.
Currently, his Qi value is 15000 points, Strength, Speed, and Defense are all 710 points, and his Combat Power is 223 points, equivalent to a Qi Condensation Realm Second Layer Cultivator.
Although he was still weak, it had only been less than ten days, averaging one minor Realm every five days, which was still very impressive.
One should be content, shouldn't they?
Looking out.
Thirty mu of fertile land, occupying a large area.
Some of the corn seedlings in the fields had already sprouted.
If his own Strength and Speed hadn't both increased to 710 points, he would only be able to manage twenty mu of land at most.
Li Ping'an also had a plan.
Next, he would primarily focus on tending to these farmlands. He would clear land and earn some Cultivation Points when he had time, but he wouldn't plant any more.
After all, it was too tiring!
To save a little Qi value, Li Ping'an rarely used the Cloud Summoning Technique, and his handsome little face had gotten tanned.
Fortunately, his Defense value was strong enough; otherwise, his skin would have peeled.
In the early morning, as the dew first condensed.
Li Ping'an left the city and happily rushed towards Da Huai Village.
According to his calculations, today was the day to water with the Rain Summoning Technique. This entire process yielded the greatest harvest.
When he arrived at the farmland, Li Ping'an's expression instantly darkened to the extreme, "Who the hell did this? I'll wring your neck..."
