I attained immortality in the real world.

Chapter 107 Farming in Peace
A spiritual realm!!
In the cultivation world, one can find spiritual realm nodes.

This is basic information that was already stated when it arrived in the world of cultivation.

However, the types of spirit realms are very diverse. Some are small worlds, some are independent areas, and some even have only a few characters. Some have a normal time flow, some have a very fast time flow, and some have a time that keeps rewinding and repeating.

Some are simply for the purpose of passing on knowledge to future generations; some involve life-threatening situations with no reward; and some involve both risk and reward.

If classified by function, the spiritual realm before us is a spiritual realm of inheritance, but it should only contain the inheritance of the first stage of 'Life' cultivation.

[Spirit Realm Node: Medicine King's Secret Realm]

[Danger Level: None.]

[Time flow rate: 365.]

[Selectable identities: Shepherd (Spirit), Herb Gatherer (Energy), Farmer (God).]

[Secret Realm Time Limit: 3 years.]

[Rules Alienated: Dojo.]

[Note: This secret realm has an owner, whose authority is similar to the will of the Heavenly Dao.]

[Restriction 1: The Dao Lord may not leave the secret realm.]

[Restriction 2: Dao Lords are prohibited from harming creatures outside the Secret Realm.]

Restriction 11: …………

[Warning: Without the Dao Master's permission, consciousness cannot leave the Dao Temple. If the Dao Master is no longer in power, please escape the secret realm as soon as possible...]

Chen Jing has a small Tuanshan Daoist temple, so he is naturally a Daoist master and understands how high the authority of a Daoist master is.

In the cultivation world, the Dao Lord is not defined by how high one's cultivation level is; in the setting, he is simply an immortal from mythology.

"........."

The Heartless Stone Man emitted a faint light, and without needing to cultivate one's mind, one could tell that Chen Jingzhen had mastered the "Nourishing and Protecting Technique".

Besides possessing the physical talents of a tiger, Li Yin is also a tiger with keen insight, truly deserving of the title of an extraordinary person among extraordinary people, since there has never been a case of an extraordinary person being non-human.

He continued, "If you only have talent in 'body' cultivation, you don't actually need to enter the secret realm. It would be more convenient for me to teach you the cultivation method."

Chen Jing had little interest in physical cultivation, let alone becoming a sorcerer. Even if he possessed great strength for a short time, he would only be a successful experiment, like the disciple who blocked the calamity in the Investiture of the Gods.

Without the corresponding cultivation level of 'sexuality', there is a high possibility of aftereffects, such as being eroded like Lei Zhenzi.

With a decisive choice, he chose the farmer, and the next moment his figure disappeared from the spot and appeared in a void, in a Taoist temple rarely visited by people.

The sky was devoid of sun, moon, and stars, yet its light remained constant. White clouds rolled beneath one's feet, and pavilions and towers dotted the mountains, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a celestial realm.

Upon reaching the entrance of the Taoist temple, a handsome young boy with delicate features greeted Chen Jing without showing any fear. He leaned close to Chen Jing and asked curiously, "Tiger! A tiger that's come to farm, can you talk?"

Chen Jing nodded: "I am Li Yin, and I greet you, young master."

The boy smiled and led Chen Jing to the main hall of the Taoist temple, where an old Taoist priest was enshrined. To his left lay a tiger, and to his right a dragon coiled.

There was another person kneeling in front of the hall. It was Xu Wu, who had mastered the "Nourishing and Protecting Technique". However, he had mastered it through talent, so he could only choose the identity of a shepherd. At this moment, he was holding a whip for herding sheep.

Upon seeing Chen Jing enter the Taoist temple, he quickly greeted him, "Tiger Master, you've come too..."

On the high platform, there was a Taoist priest with an air of otherworldly elegance. He simply waved his whisk, and Xu Wu disappeared from the spot once again.

Chen Jing walked slowly to the spot where Xu Wu had disappeared and bowed to the Taoist on the high platform: "Disciple Li Yin greets the Ancestral Master."

Another boy brought over an iron hoe and interrupted, "Tiger, you should finish planting the land first. Come to the Taoist temple with the rice as a gift for becoming an apprentice."

"..." The next moment, the Taoist waved his whisk.

Chen Jing's figure also disappeared from the Taoist temple and appeared in a small area.

There was only a dilapidated wooden house in front of me, situated on a rocky mountain. There was no scenery around me, and beyond my sight was a pale void. The mountain and the tiger looked like decorations in a fish tank.

After briefly assessing the situation, Chen Jing exclaimed, "You can actually farm in a place like this?"

No trees grow on the rocky mountain, and there is very little soil. The only plants are weeds growing in the cracks of the rocks and a small amount of moss.

The only paddy field was located at the top of a rocky mountain. The seedlings were wilted and lifeless, not because there was no soil for them to take root, but because there was no water. The paddy field had dried up, leaving only slightly moist soil.

The only place where water can accumulate is a small depression at the foot of the mountain. The soil is dry and clumped together. Although there are irrigation canals and waterwheels, they still cannot supply water to the paddy fields.

[Task: Flooding!]

[Note: A reservoir was dug at the foot of the mountain using hoes to collect rainwater to combat the dry season.]

[Task Reward: None.]

Chen Jinghu held the iron hoe given to him by the Taoist boy in his mouth.

He paused and murmured, "Wouldn't it be more convenient to build the rice paddies at the foot of the mountain and the reservoir on the mountain?"

By the time we reached the foot of the mountain, a day had passed, with the sky shifting between light and dark.

The ratio of the spiritual time flow rate between the real world and the secret realm is 365. Chen Jing's spirit cannot merge into the secret realm, so he will only feel that everything around him is changing rapidly, but it has nothing to do with him.

Chen Jing bit the hoe and started digging. The hoe touched the dry, clump-like soil and could only penetrate half an inch.

"Come again!"

This time, Chen Jing used all his strength, biting the hoe and digging down hard.

With a loud 'bang,' the hoe sparked and crackled, the soft soil hardened like a rock, and this time it didn't dig in an inch.

He paused for a moment and then said, "This is the area for the inheritance of divine cultivation techniques. It seems that digging the soil is not about physical strength. If it has nothing to do with strength, then it must be related to one's state of mind."

Chen Jing tried digging a few more times with a hoe. Some hoes could penetrate deep into the mud, while others seemed to hit iron rocks.

Sensory analysis revealed that the calmer the mind and the less distracting thoughts one has, the more efficient one is at digging.

A calm mind, free from distracting thoughts—that is stillness.

quiet!
Unlike entering a meditative state, which is somewhat similar to a state of absent-mindedness, the brain remains highly active. This state does not mean the absence of distracting thoughts, but rather the elimination of them.

It is also different from entering stillness, which is a state of being alive and dead, where the whole person is like a brain dead person.

Unlike Zangzhen, who only had a small part of his mind active in his sea of ​​consciousness, Zangzhen merely sealed all the turmoil in his heart within a small space.

Chen Jing controlled his consciousness to relax and his body to completely relax, trying to be in a state of tranquility: "Quiet! Thoughts are endless. There is no time when people are not thinking, but one can pursue a sense of tranquility."

With a heavy shovel, a large clump of soil was unearthed in the depression, confirming the speculation that the reservoir was dug for the purpose of achieving tranquility.

【quit!】

Chen Jing's consciousness exited the secret realm.

They returned to Xiaotuanshan without being hindered by the temple.

Chen Jing's consciousness could not integrate into the 365-fold mental time flow, but Li Yin could. After Chen Jing's consciousness withdrew, Li Yin's consciousness remained clear, and he chewed on the hoe and dug at high speed.
