Chapter 82: The Five Elements Farming Technique is Very Useful

When Yun Ye arrived at Water Calamity, seven or eight wooden and stone houses had already been built.

More than three hundred people worked enthusiastically for their future.

Among them were even revival of Spiritual Roots practitioners.

In just one year, Yun Ye had managed to cultivate a number of revival of Spiritual Roots practitioners. Ning Xiao, who was highly anticipated, quickly perfected his Qi Cultivation Technique through Spirit-level superior food, awakening his Spiritual Roots and simultaneously his Spirit Sense.

As Ning Xiao possessed an exceptional-level Spirit Sense talent rated at A, awakening it indeed brought remarkable results. He naturally learned abilities like suggestion, which, although not systematic and thus quite weak, was sufficient for use on ordinary people.

All three hundred individuals were subtly influenced by Ning Xiao’s Spirit Sense; they not only brimmed with hope for the future but also rapidly deepened their loyalty to the Yang Family, proving far more effective than any management method.

Not only that, but with the aid of Spirit Sense, Ning Xiao’s combat power also grew rapidly.

Spirit Sense represented refined control, which, though not equivalent to combat talent, allowed for better control of the body and Spiritual Law, elevating his combat power noticeably.

To support him, Yun Ye specially exchanged contributions for a technique-level Metal Element Spiritual Law book, and Ning Xiao truly did not disappoint, quickly raising his strength to match that of Wang Lixian and others.

In just one year, he matched what Wang Lixian and his peers achieved in three.

This level of power may not seem significant in Baishi Town, but it was sufficient for dealing with common monsters.

Moreover, his high Spirit Sense talent made him exceptionally suited for crafting Talismans, and Yun Ye was already preparing to exchange for Talismans knowledge.

With Talismans in hand, they could significantly bolster the safety of Water Calamity Farm.

Besides Ning Xiao, there were five other revival of Spiritual Roots practitioners in the Yang Family, each carefully selected and very loyal to the family.

Together, these six would serve as the early defensive force for Water Calamity Farm.

This number was more than enough.

Afterward, they could set up silver patterns for early warning and suppressive dark copper to greatly reduce the difficulty of defense.

Once they passed the initial phase, the Yang Family’s food supply would be self-sufficient, and the number of revival of Spiritual Roots practitioners would surely increase faster than their losses, ensuring the sustainability of Water Calamity Farm.

…

After inspecting everything, Yun Ye was very satisfied.

The cultivation world was indeed different; with the assistance of revival of Spiritual Roots practitioners in construction, progress was almost faster than with machines.

If not for the fact that revival of Spiritual Roots practitioners needed to neutralize spirit energy with life energy and couldn’t achieve perpetual motion, one practitioner could easily match a thousand ordinary people.

However, Yun Ye did not overlook the strength of ordinary people due to the powerful abilities of revival of Spiritual Roots practitioners.

He replicated various convenient farming tools from his memory, significantly boosting the productivity of ordinary people.

Yet even so, compared to revival of Spiritual Roots practitioners, their contributions still seemed quite trivial.

The major noble families chose to use revival of Spiritual Roots practitioners as combat forces instead of for farming, which was indeed a waste of resources.

— But that made sense.

In a world where power reigns supreme, how could revival of Spiritual Roots practitioners engage in the laborious task of farming?

It’s just like asking Confucians to teach you how to engage in corruption; while their explanation would surely be very structured, if you asked them to teach you farming or research and development, they would likely spew insults and push you into the realm of improper conduct.

To avoid excesses in correction, one cannot simply shatter the Kong family temple and expect others to calmly heed your admonitions and abandon their predatory habits.

…

“Drink!”

The revival of Spiritual Roots practitioner with the Earth Element pressed both hands onto the ground, causing large areas of land to surge like waves.

The stones, hard clumps, insects, and weeds in the soil were all crushed.

In a short time, a piece of farmland suitable for sowing seeds was created.

This was just the first step, known as clearing the land.

Ning Xiao was in charge of the second step: enhancing soil fertility.

He closed his eyes, spread out his Spirit Sense, and selected the same type of substance that Yun Ye had mentioned.

“Gather together!”

The soil near the riverbed quickly turned sandy, while the newly cultivated land before Ning Xiao suddenly transformed into rich black soil, as if it were flowing with oil.

The Metal Element represents ‘gathering,’ which can extract various substances and condense them into shape.

For battle, creating metals is certainly more useful.

But it can also be applied to farming, such as gathering various nutrients and evenly distributing them across the land.

On the other hand, the Earth Element manipulates the existing materials of the earth and lacks the ability to extract or gather; however, its range of control far surpasses that of the Metal Element.

A combination of both is what completes the ‘Earth.’

“Reforge Earth, wind, water, and fire…”

When Yun Ye thought of the Earth Element, he recalled the formidable combination of reforged Earth, wind, water, and fire.

Although the water and fire aspects of Earth do not appear to be fused attributes, their ability to stand alongside Earth’s wind must be fundamentally different from the Five Elements water and fire, which cannot be generalized.

If he could merge these four attributes together and then combine that with the four attributes, perhaps he could truly gain the power of reforged Earth, wind, water, and fire.

One wind attribute was already powerful to such an extent, and having four attributes of the same level, fused together… it was unimaginable what might happen.

“Summon rain!”

After Ning Xiao completed the second step, the third individual, the Water Spiritual Root practitioner, used his Spiritual Roots to create clouds and rain, performing artificial rainfall to moisten the land and nurture the spirit energy.

Finally, the Wood Spiritual Root practitioner scattered seeds and activated their vitality using Spiritual Law, causing them to quickly take root and sprout.

This resulted in nearly a hundred percent germination and survival rate.

At last, the Fire Spiritual Root practitioner raised the temperature, creating an ideal environment for the plants to grow.

In the future, the Fire Spiritual Root practitioner might also be responsible for greenhouse management or burning useless weeds, proving to be highly useful.

Each of the Five Elements Spiritual Roots could exert great influence, and since they all perfected their Qi Cultivation Techniques, their normal sustained energy could last nearly all day, with immediate recovery the next day.

In this situation, although Yun Ye initially had only six people, they could easily support the entire Water Calamity Farm.

And with Yang Shu and Shuzhu, there were actually eight individuals.

This lineup was already quite impressive.

Thus, after Yun Ye took a tour around, he felt nothing but satisfaction.

For an entire month, Yun Ye observed closely, and after gathering various data, he felt completely at ease.

According to the records from Water Calamity Farm, although monster attacks were frequent, there were only about ten occurrences each month.

Under various alarm measures, this posed no threat to the farm’s production, as they would be eliminated before entering the fields.

In fact, the various materials from the monsters became a hidden source of income for Water Calamity Farm.

Yun Ye instructed them to sell a portion to Baishi Town while retaining the majority to prevent an accurate assessment of Water Calamity Farm’s strength.

He also made sure not to waste these materials; periodically, he would come to engage in Weapon Forging, crafting numerous useful tools for developing the farm.

During this time, Yun Ye’s revenge arsenal took shape, giving him confidence in his vengeance.

Yet the right moment never seemed to arrive.

Tong Yuan and the others remained very mysterious; Yun Ye had no knowledge of their whereabouts and hesitated to inquire for fear of leaving a trace.

So, Yun Ye could only continue to gather strength, enhancing his revenge arsenal as time slipped by.

Until…

The Crescent Moon Secret Realm opened!
