Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 14 A Sudden Rise of Heroic Spirit
Think of this.

The dwarf old man's gaze toward Zhang Yan immediately turned kind.

At this moment, Zhang Yan was naturally unaware of the dwarf old man's thoughts.

He is now focused entirely on the lingzhi mushroom in front of him.

Wood element techniques can not only promote plant growth, but also heal wounds and cure diseases.

It is more effective for plants.

As he activated the Wood Element Technique, the spirit mushrooms that he had previously dismembered immediately began to regenerate.

In just a few breaths, the lingzhi mushroom had already grown back the damaged area.

This Ganoderma lucidum has fully recovered.

"Not bad. Although the problem of the spirit mushroom has not been completely solved, it can be considered as solving the lesion of the individual spirit mushroom. You are very good." The dwarf elder looked at Zhang Yan with appreciation.

"Thank you, senior!"

“These spirit mushrooms seem to have been invaded by evil energy. My suggestion is to cut up all the spirit mushrooms that have been invaded. The reason for the invasion of evil energy is probably that the humidity in this cultivation room is too high.” Zhang Yan pondered for a moment and then spoke to the dwarf elder.

"Ok?"

"Ill-gotten influence? Excessive dampness?"

Hear this.

The dwarf old man's eyes lit up immediately.

He is, after all, a proper plant cultist.

Although I didn't understand it at first, after Zhang Yan's reminder, I suddenly realized it.

They immediately understood the source of the disease in these Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms.

"Excellent, excellent, you've done very well. You've passed this assessment!" The dwarf elder's face lit up with excitement; he was finding Zhang Yan increasingly pleasing to the eye!

When he first saw the Wood Element Technique, he thought Zhang Yan was a promising candidate for a spirit plant master. Now it seems he underestimated Zhang Yan's potential.

Judging from what he has shown so far, he not only has excellent potential, but also solid operational experience.

Although Zhang Yan acted very quickly.

However, the dwarf old man was, after all, a spiritual plant master, and he could tell at a glance that Zhang Yan's every movement seemed to be perfectly natural, as if he had been doing farm work for decades!
If someone had said before that there were naturally born plant masters in this world, the dwarf elder would have scoffed. But now, the dwarf elder dares to say that Zhang Yan is that naturally born plant master!

however……

What he didn't know was.

The reason why Zhang Yan's movements look like he's been doing this for decades is because... it's not just that he looks like it.

But he actually did it for decades!
The spirit hoe he was equipped with allowed him to gain decades of experience as a spirit plant master from Elder Lin, so naturally, he became so skilled at using it.

"Since you've passed the assessment, you're probably going to contract the spirit fields. I'll give you a bag of spirit rice seeds that I've cultivated; I hope they'll be helpful."

The dwarf old man took out a small bag from his storage bag and threw it to Zhang Yan.

"Don't underestimate these spirit rice seeds. They can produce 10% more spirit rice than ordinary spirit rice."

"Thank you, senior!"

Increase production by 10%!
That's ten percent.

It may not sound like much, but if he contracts 100 mu of spiritual fields, the yield will be equivalent to the harvest from 110 mu of spiritual fields.

One-tenth more appeared out of thin air.

It should be noted that some spirit farmers were initially only allowed to contract 10 mu of spirit fields.

Zhang Yan, on the other hand, can simply lie down and earn the harvest from these 10 acres of spiritual fields.

Thinking about it this way, you can understand how terrifying these spirit rice plants are.

"No need to thank me. I am extremely obsessed with the art of cultivation, and it even delayed my Foundation Establishment. If you ever want to learn more about the art of cultivation, you can come and ask me." The dwarf elder's eyes gleamed with spiritual light when he spoke of the art of cultivation.

It's clear that he genuinely enjoys the art of cultivation.

"Furthermore, you don't need to call me senior. My name is Wang Ping, you can just call me Senior Brother Wang," the dwarf elder said calmly.

"This……"

"I'll still call you Elder Wang," Zhang Yan said after glancing at the other man's age and hesitating for a moment.

"Whatever you say, I'm fine with anything." Old Wang didn't care about any of that. The two chatted for a while longer.

Zhang Yan received a token and then hurriedly took his leave.

They returned to the Zongwu Hall.

Zhang Yan took out the token and handed it to the disciple on duty.

"You actually passed the test!"

The disciple looked at Zhang Yan with some surprise.

Although he led Zhang Yan over for the assessment, he didn't expect him to actually pass it.

And yet, it's only been such a short time.

The other party has already passed the assessment?
Especially since the examiner was Wang Ping!

In terms of spiritual plants, the other party is unparalleled among outer sect disciples. Some have even said that if Wang Ping's cultivation level weren't so low, even if he were an inner sect disciple, he could still be among the top ten in the sect in terms of spiritual plant cultivation.

Of course, whether it's true or false is hard for people to say.

However, it can be seen from the side that Wang Ping's level is really high, and he has always attached great importance to the path of spiritual plants, which is why Wang Ping's assessment is only required for one person.

But even so.

The young man in front of me actually passed the test in less than half an incense stick's time.

This is outrageous!
"I wonder how many acres of spirit fields this junior brother would like to rent?"

I sorted out my thoughts.

The disciple on duty immediately asked Zhang Yan.

"I wonder what the maximum number of plants I can rent?"

Zhang Yan thought for a moment and then asked him.

“Normally, a spirit plant master can rent 100 mu of spirit fields, but since you are a spirit plant master certified by Senior Brother Wang, you can rent 200 mu of spirit fields,” the disciple on duty said to Zhang Yan.

He was taken aback by the answer. He hadn't expected that Old Wang was so influential that he could rent an extra 100 mu of spiritual land just because the other party liked it.

"Then I'll rent two hundred acres."

Since he could rent more, Zhang Yan naturally didn't want to rent less.

"So, how does Junior Brother plan to rent it out? Will you pay the sect with spirit stones directly, or will it be calculated based on the harvest?"

"How are spirit stones calculated?" Zhang Yan asked curiously.

"The annual rent for each acre of low-grade spirit land requires one spirit stone."

“Then I choose to share the harvest.” If it were rented in spirit stones, then 200 acres of spirit fields would cost 200 spirit stones.

This is just the cost of renting the land.

In the future, there will be the purchase of spirit seeds, the rental of spirit farmers, and so on.

He simply didn't have enough spirit stones.

Therefore, the only option is to choose the Sharing Spirit Stone.

"Alright, in that case, please make the contract, junior brother." The disciple on duty picked up a spirit contract and had Zhang Yan leave a trace of magic power on it.

Even if the contract is fulfilled.

Holding the contract.

Zhang Yan quickly found the two hundred acres of spiritual fields.

The sect's spiritual fields are everywhere.

Zhang Yan's two hundred acres were relatively remote, located in a valley on the edge of the sect, close to the sect's protective formation.

There are few people around on weekdays.

However, this is not a bad thing for Zhang Yan.

Standing atop the valley, Zhang Yan looked at the flat land within and was immediately filled with a sense of pride.

These two hundred acres of spiritual fields are the assets that Zhang has to make a living in this world of cultivation.
