Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 19 Harvest from the Spirit Field, Payment of Rent

Flight speed is related to the quality of the magical artifact and the magical power of its owner.

For example, both are low-grade flying magical artifacts.

The speed of using it in the early and late stages of Qi cultivation is different.

The speed in the later stages of Qi Refining will be much faster than that in the early stages.

but!

There is an upper limit here.

That means that even a Foundation Establishment cultivator using a low-grade flying artifact won't fly faster than a Qi Refining cultivator in the late stage.

The reason is very simple.

The quality of these low-grade magical artifacts already determines the maximum magical power they can withstand.

The magical power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is naturally stronger than that of a Qi Refining cultivator in the late stage.

but……

For example, a 3-centimeter nut can only accept a screw with a maximum diameter of 3 centimeters, but you insist on inserting a 10-centimeter screw.

How is that possible?

Even if it does get inside, the nut will be damaged!
Therefore, if you want to run fast, you need at least a good flying artifact.

Flying artifacts are very expensive, and ordinary disciples rarely possess high-level flying artifacts, but Zhang Yan has two.

One is a golden bamboo sword, and the other is a green wooden boat.

Among them, the Green Wood Boat is a high-grade flying magic weapon, while the Golden Bamboo Sword is a mid-grade flying sword.

Theoretically, the Green Wood Boat should be much faster than the Golden Bamboo Sword, but unfortunately, it consumes too much mana. For someone at the second level of Qi Refining, using the Green Wood Boat was somewhat like a small horse pulling a heavy cart.

On the other hand, the Golden Bamboo Sword is only a mid-grade magic weapon, so it requires less mana to operate, and it also has the speed bonus provided by the Azure Wood Boat.

On the contrary, it can unleash a good speed, even exceeding others' expectations.

"The uses of these entries are truly numerous; I still need to collect more secondhand magical artifacts," Zhang Yan silently calculated in his heart.

Think of this.

He couldn't help but look at his two hundred acres of spiritual fields.

The ritual implements weren't given away for free.

Even secondhand magical artifacts cost money.

For him right now, the only way to make money is by farming.

then……

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

During this period, Zhang Yan's cultivation also improved.

However, the most significant change is in the cultivation method.

His Everlasting Spring Kung Fu, aided by the Enlightenment Meditation Pillow, has reached its zenith.

The speed of refining spiritual energy has now greatly increased.

But what's most surprising is the Wood Element Technique.

His Wood Element Technique was not only highly accomplished, but it was also just a little short of perfection.

According to his estimate, he might be able to reach the perfect state in less than half a year.

"Second level of Qi Refining, one spell perfected..."

At this point, Zhang Yan was no longer the novice cultivator he once was.

Therefore, he was fully aware of how shocking this was.

This means that in the remaining time, he can still cultivate other spells and reach a state of perfection.

At that time, he might even master three or five spells and advance to the Foundation Establishment stage!

even……

More is possible!

Zhang Yan's eyes were bright.

"Let's set a small goal first: perfect nine spells!"

Zhang Yan had a plan in mind. Legend has it that there are immortals reincarnated from the upper realm who cultivate for eighty years, perfect nine spells, and then establish their foundation in one fell swoop, becoming invincible among those of the same level!

Nine spells perfected—that sounds insane; most people wouldn't even dream of it.

But for Zhang Yan, this didn't seem like a difficult dream to achieve.

It's possible for him to achieve it if he puts in the effort...

Besides the Wood Element Technique.

Zhang Yan's Gengjin Grass Pheasant Sword has also reached a minor level of mastery.

Xiao Cheng's Gengjin Grass Pheasant Sword not only casts spells faster, but its power has also increased significantly. However, unfortunately, without the [Sharpness] attribute to enhance it, this Gengjin Grass Pheasant Sword can only be used to clear weeds.

However, if you use the "sharp" keyword, it's a completely different story.

Its power is far greater than that of ordinary attack spells, and because of its [Sharpness] property, its slicing effect is particularly good.

But, unfortunately, the same thing still applies.

He has too little equipment.

It's impossible to collect all three "sharp" entries.

"but……"

Zhang Yan glanced at the spirit field in the distance.

The spirit rice was ripe and ready for harvest.

Because his spiritual fields were leased without spirit stones and were rented in installments, the shares needed to be confirmed by the people of the Clan Affairs Hall before harvesting.

He had already notified the Zongwu Hall.

Before long, a plump Taoist priest was seen piloting a flying boat, slowly flying from a distance.

"Greetings, Butler Bai."

Upon seeing the person approaching, Zhang Yan immediately went to greet them.

“Alas~
Junior Brother Zhang, you're too kind.

After stepping off the flying boat, Deacon Bai waved with a smile: "I suppose Junior Brother Zhang already knows why I'm here."

"According to the spirit contract, you need to pay 70% of the rent to the sect."

"As you command, Steward Bai."

Zhang Yan was aware of this outcome.

But there was nothing he could do; he didn't have any spirit stones to begin with.

"If I remember correctly, Junior Brother Zhang is a spirit plant master, right?"

“That’s right, I received approval from Senior Brother Wang at the Sect Affairs Hall.” Zhang Yan nodded.

“Then that’s it. Senior Brother Wang told me about it. Moreover, our sect also gives preferential treatment to spirit plant masters. The harvest from the spirit fields is split 50/50 between them and the spirit plant masters.”

"Moreover, you're planting Senior Brother Wang's spirit rice seeds here, right? In that case, this place can be used as an experimental field. You only need to pay 30% rent." Deacon Bai said to Zhang Yan with a smile, holding the spirit contract in his hand.

"This……"

"also?"

At this moment, Zhang Yan was truly stunned.

Originally, the rent that needed to be paid was 70%, but thanks to the White Butler's manipulation, it was reduced to 30%!

Most importantly, this does not violate the sect's rules and can be considered reasonable and legal.

However, Zhang Yan's original profit of 100 spirit stones turned into more than 230 spirit stones.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Bai!"

Zhang Yan quickly expressed his gratitude.

"You're welcome. I heard from Senior Brother Wang that Junior Brother Zhang is not only a spirit plant master, but also quite knowledgeable in wood element techniques. I wonder if that's true?" Deacon Bai looked intently at Zhang Yan.

"As for Wood Element Techniques, Junior Brother only dares to say he has some knowledge of them." Hearing Steward Bai's words, Zhang Yan knew that the main event was about to begin!
The White Butler was not related to him at all, yet he was helping him so much. He must have something to ask of him, but he didn't know what it was.

But since he was both a plant master and a wood elementalist, it must be something related to plants, so he didn't refuse immediately. He just said that he had some knowledge of wood elemental techniques and wanted to see what it was about.

"Since that's the case, I won't hide it from you anymore. I have a spiritual herb here, but its roots were damaged when it was picked. I don't know if you can revive it, junior brother. If you can't, then it's fate. But if you can, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

After speaking, Deacon Bai looked at Zhang Yan with some nervousness. This spiritual herb was extremely important to him!
"Senior brother, would you mind showing me some of the spiritual herbs?" Although the Wood Element Technique could indeed nurture spiritual plants, Zhang Yan didn't immediately agree. Instead, he asked Steward Bai.
