The original repairer

Shi Chen chose to be a spiritual farmer in the sect. He wanted to learn how to make pills.

Pills are directly related to cultivation. If you can refine pills, your cultivation will improve quickly.

The cultivation level must be improved rapidly, and the spiritual consciousness must be cultivated as soon as possible, so that Yu Chenzi's storage ring can be unlocked, which contains the basics of hundreds of arts and the practice methods.

He was allocated ten acres of lower-grade spiritual fields. The sect's spiritual fields are divided into three grades: lower, medium, and upper.

According to the sect's regulations, spiritual rice must be handed over to the sect every year after it is grown. Low-grade spiritual fields yield 280 kilograms per mu, medium-grade spiritual fields yield 360 kilograms, and high-grade spiritual fields yield 450 kilograms.

If you are growing spiritual herbs, you will have to pay different amounts depending on the variety and quality.

New spiritual farmers have one season to learn from the old spiritual farmers. As long as you don't cultivate spiritual rice during this season, the sect will exempt you from handing it over.

The old spiritual farmer Shi Chen was learning from was named Song Yu. He had been in the sect for seven or eight years. For the first few years, he sorted spiritual herbs in the Spiritual Medicine Hall. Two years ago, someone replaced him. Now, after more than two years as a spiritual farmer, he had some experience and could at least complete the annual submission task.

The next day, Shi Chen arrived at Song Yu's spiritual field early, waiting for Song Yu's arrival.

It was the time for the third harvest of this year. About a quarter of an hour later, Song Yu came to Shi Chen with a Ruijin sickle and a dozen large sacks.

The spiritual field planted by Song Yu was thirty acres, and it took the two of them four consecutive days to harvest.

While harvesting, Song Yu taught Shi Chen the basic knowledge of growing spiritual rice.

To harvest spiritual rice, it is best to use the sect's Ruijin sickle. The Ruijin sickle is made with a small amount of Gengjin, which makes it easy to harvest and saves effort.

The seeds should be full in grains. They should be soaked first and then covered. They can be cultivated after they have taken root. The seeds should be mixed with mud and water. The young rice should be transplanted into the spiritual field after it grows three to five inches. Before transplanting, the spiritual field should be made muddy and watered.

One mu of spiritual field can grow 100 to 120 spiritual rice plants. Each spiritual rice plant produces three ears, and each ear can yield about one kilogram of spiritual rice.

While Song Yu was breeding, Shi Chen borrowed some rice seeds, which were enough to plant about five acres of spiritual fields.

He spent half a day learning how to grow spiritual rice from Song Yu, then returned to his own spiritual field and spent half a day studying how to grow it on his own.

To cultivate spiritual fields, one needs to learn four spells, namely, spiritual rain spell, ground pine spell, golden sword spell, and ripening spell.

The Spiritual Rain Technique is used for irrigation, the Ground Pine Technique is used to loosen the ground, the Golden Sword Technique is used to eliminate pests, and the Ripening Technique is used to speed up the growth of spiritual plants.

Several low-level spells can be learned for free in the Spirit Plant Hall.

In one month, Shi Chen learned these four spells.

A season passed quickly. After helping Song Yu harvest the spiritual rice, Shi Chen returned to his own spiritual field. It took him two days to harvest the five acres of spiritual rice he had planted for the first time. The final weight was 1,856 kilograms.

One spirit stone equals one hundred kilograms of spirit rice, which is worth eighteen and a half spirit stones.

It needs to be handed over to the sect. Five acres is 1,400 kilograms, and the surplus of one season of spiritual rice is less than one spiritual stone per acre.

There are ten acres of spiritual fields, with one hundred spiritual rice plants planted on each acre. Shi Chen did not plant more. With his current proficiency in magic, he could only barely manage these ten acres.

The spiritual field is inspected every day, and the spiritual rain technique, ground pine technique, golden sword technique, and ripening technique are performed. When the spiritual power in the dantian is exhausted, breathing exercises are used to restore it.

Day by day, his spell proficiency was no longer at the entry level. Within a few months, all four spells had reached the mastery level. The spell levels are divided into: entry level, proficient, mastery, minor success, major success, and perfection.

Shi Chen's cultivation level has not improved, and he is still at the first level of Qi Refining. However, compared to a few months ago, the spiritual power in his Dantian is much stronger.

At this rate of cultivation, it would take at least two years to reach the second level of Qi Refining.

I'm busy looking after the ten acres of spiritual fields until dark. I can only practice once a day, and without the help of elixirs, it's difficult to improve my cultivation.

Perhaps it was because the talent for practicing magic was inversely proportional to the spiritual roots, Shi Chen's cultivation level improved slowly, but his progress in practicing magic was rapid.

It took Song Yu a year to become proficient in the four spiritual farming spells, and three years of practice to reach the level of mastery.

The mastered spells have become more precise in terms of control, range, and use of spiritual power.

The entry-level spiritual rain technique can only cover an area of one acre. As the proficiency of the spell increases, the range of the spell becomes larger and the use of spiritual power is not wasted.

Shi Chen could only cast the introductory spell five times. After a few months, his spell level had reached proficiency, and the spiritual power in his dantian was much stronger, allowing him to cast spells more than ten times.

With the same spiritual power, Shi Chen can now use the Spiritual Rain Technique to expand it to three acres.

Through one season of planting experience, the proficiency of spells has improved and the time spent on managing spiritual fields has been reduced a lot. When Shi Chen was planting in the second season, he considered whether to increase the number of spiritual fields. Finally, he decided to maintain the number of spiritual fields and use the remaining time to practice, as cultivation is the foundation.

Spiritual farmers and spiritual miners do not receive any resources from the sect. They can only rely on planting or mining minerals in exchange for spirit stones to purchase elixirs to assist in their cultivation.

This season, Shi Chen harvested a total of 3,720 kilograms of spiritual rice, and needed to hand over 2,800 kilograms.

The sect allowed for annual or quarterly payments. Many spiritual farmers paid annually. This prevented a sudden drop in spiritual rice production in a particular season, which would result in sect punishment. Annual payments allowed for a balanced season's spiritual rice production.

There are many factors that lead to reduced production. Sometimes it is due to insufficient spiritual rain, insect pests that reduce production, or spiritual farmers who have not taken care of the spiritual fields for three to five days and have gone into seclusion. It is normal for the crops in the spiritual fields to have reduced production.

Shi Chen suffered from some insect pests this season. It was the first time he encountered it and he didn't deal with it properly. He only realized it after half an acre of land was infested by insects. In the end, he asked Song Yu for help in solving the pest problem.

Also, I am not proficient enough in spells such as the Spirit Rain Spell, so droughts and floods occur from time to time.

Song Yu has been working as a spiritual farmer for three years. The yield of each acre of low-quality spiritual fields is 350 to 360 kilograms. With 30 acres of land under cultivation, the annual output is about 42,000 kilograms.

To be handed over to the sect, Song Yu needs 280 kilograms per acre per season. A year, he needs 33,600 kilograms, and there is still about 10,000 kilograms left. When converted into spirit stones, Song Yu can harvest 100 low-grade spirit stones in a year.

After deducting the cost of food, clothing and other expenses, there are about eighty spirit stones left to buy elixirs.

Low-grade Qi-nourishing Pills, ten pills in a bottle containing three spirit stones.

Song Yu could buy more than twenty bottles of low-grade Qi-nourishing Pills, which would amount to more than two hundred pills. If he used one pill every day for cultivation, it would not be enough for a year of cultivation. Moreover, in addition to cultivation, cultivators also needed magical instruments, spells, and talismans for self-defense, all of which required spirit stones to purchase.

The effect of a low-grade Qi-nourishing Pill can increase the effect of cultivation by 30%.

If Shi Chen wants to cultivate to the second level of Qi Refining, it will take two years without using elixirs, and that is in the sect, where there is sufficient spiritual energy. If he takes drugs every day, he can reduce the cultivation time by seven or eight months.

One spirit stone can buy a bottle of fasting pills, ten pills.

The Bigu Pill is the most basic pill recipe for practicing in pill refining. There are many versions of this recipe, including the spiritual rice and spiritual plant version, the demon meat version, and the combined version.

As the most basic elixir, it has no grade. Once you have learned the basics of alchemy and have a large amount of resources to practice, it is easy to refine the Bigu Pill.

Pills are divided into four grades and nine levels: low grade, medium grade, high grade, and top grade.

If a furnace of pills produces more than three pills, even if the refining is successful, if less than three pills are produced, the impurity and poison content in the pills are too high, and the pills will become useless to the alchemist.

A full pill consists of twelve pills.

The Bigu Pill is the easiest pill recipe for a beginner alchemist. Entry-level alchemists rarely make and sell it, so the profit is minimal.

One furnace of fasting pills requires about eighty kilograms of spiritual rice to refine. If less than ten pills are made, it will be a loss.

If Shi Chen wants to become an alchemist, he must first acquire the basics of alchemy and the recipes.
