Chapter 375: Mordern Agriculture Techniques

A dark red energy sphere rose while an ugly black disk appeared under Zhen Congming’s feet. Grandma, who was dozing off on a rock, entered Zhen Congming’s energy sphere with the rock.

Seeing Zhen Congming taking Grandma up to the sky, Hao Ren froze for a moment before summoning Little White in a hurry.

“Roar!” Little White shook its body and turned into its huge snow lion form.

After reaching level 2, Little White was now even bigger. It carried Hao Ren, Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia with ease.

With a swoosh, two red energy spheres shot up into the high sky.

Little White’s golden fur now covered the lower parts of its legs instead of its paws, and it looked especially magnificent while it dashed into the sky.

In Zhen Congming’s energy sphere, Grandma woke up from her nap and found herself in the high sky, almost 10,000 meters from the ground!

“Congming, get down! Don’t startle Grandma!” Chasing after Zhen Congming’s flight dharma treasure, Hao Ren yelled.

Hua… Instead of going down, Zhen Congming shot up onto Fifth Heaven.

The green mountains and clear rivers made this place look like a celestial realm.

Zhen Congming’s black disk moved horizontally and entered the Ethereal Summit that was surrounded by three small sects.

Hao Ren chased him into the valley.

The red energy sphere was removed, and Grandma stumbled from Zhen Congming’s disk and walked into the valley.

“Congming, what are you doing?” Dashing into the valley, Hao Ren jumped off Little White and couldn’t help but smack Zhen Congming’s head.

However, a shallow shield rose and blocked Hao Ren’s hand. When Zhen Congming was prepared, Hao Ren, who was at Gen-level, was no match for Zhen Congming who had all kinds of dharma treasures on him.

“Grandma!” Landing with Little White, Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia called out to Grandma.

Grandma glanced at them before looking around with confusion in her eyes. “Is this… a celestial realm?”

“Grandma, this is Ethereal Summit,” Xie Yujia explained quietly.

Hearing Xie Yujia’s words, Zhao Yanzi widened her eyes and glanced around the valley with curiosity. Even though Grandma nodded, she was still confused.

In the valley, there was no chirp of bird and sound of insects; there wasn’t even wind. However, the presence washed out all impurities from the body, giving people a refreshed feeling.

“Grandma, I’ll show you around,” Xie Yujia took Grandma’s hand and said gently.

A stream flowed from the foot of the Ethereal Summit to the herb garden in the center of the valley through an irrigation tunnel which was dug out by Hao Ren at Xie Yujia’s request, giving the spiritual herb garden enough water.

With proper irrigation and nurturing, the herbs gave off bright luster while Zhen Congming’s essence condensation array accelerated their growing speed by two to three times. Such spiritual herbs would draw envy from the sects on Fifth Heaven.

Grandma looked up at the mountain peaks that were rising high into the clouds and walked around the fresh and fertilized valley with Xie Yujia.

“Hey! When did you find this place?” Zhao Yanzi looked around the valley excitedly and shouted at Hao Ren.

The place Hao Ren chose was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there was a river on the last side. Quiet and large, this place offered them great freedom, and Zhao Yanzi loved this valley.

People wanted a place of their own, especially for girls at Zhao Yanzi’s age. Raising small animals, building a little wooden cottage, and getting treasures from the surrounding sects… Zhao Yanzi couldn’t help but giggle at the great promises the valley offered.

Mist floated around the Ethereal Summit, but Zhao Yanzi still saw three cave abodes in the middle section of the mountain.

“The left one is yours!” Hao Ren pointed at one cave abode and told her.

“A cave…” Zhao Yanzi didn’t look pleased.

“This is not a place for vacation; it’s a place for you to cultivate in,” Hao Ren lectured her.

“Humph!” Zhao Yanzi snorted with dissatisfaction. Then, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the essence intensity at the valley was much higher than any other places on Fifth Heaven!

“Hao Ren is lucky enough to find such a great place!” Zhao Yanzi’s eyes lit up with excitement as she thought.

After reaching Foundation Establishment Realm, she had been looking for a place to condense essence, and she was a little touched by the fact that Hao Ren made a cultivation cave for her without being asked.

She turned to look at Hao Ren with appreciation. Then, she immediately tried to hide it and snorted, “Humph! I think the essence intensity here is just ok!”

“Come, I’ll show you the cave abode.” Hao Ren didn’t mind Zhao Yanzi’s attitude. Taking her small hand, he flew toward the cave abode that was reserved just for her.

Zhao Yanzi tried to withdraw her hand. But after seeing Hao Ren’s fast flying speed, she grabbed onto his wrist in a hurry.

A big night pearl was inlaid in the wall of the cave abode, giving a soft light to the place. This cave abode was the smallest, making it the warmest one.

A small stone bed was made for her to take a nap on if she got lazy with her cultivation, and Hao Ren didn’t put other things in her cave abode, thinking that she would bring things up here from First Heaven and decorate it.

“I also asked Zhen Congming to build a small essence concentration array so that you can focus on your cultivation,” Hao Ren said while showing her around the cave.

“Cultivate, cultivate, cultivate… All you care about is my cultivation!” Pouting, Zhao Yanzi pounded Hao Ren’s chest with her small fists.

Hao Ren looked down at her calmly.

She stopped her pounding, and her face turned pink… She felt like she was flirting…

She took two steps backward immediately and walked to the entrance of the cave abode, looking at the outside as if nothing had happened.

Outside the cave abode, Xie Yujia was taking Grandma beside a stream of water to take care of the Piercing Heart Grass.

When she was young, Grandma was a great farmer in her village. Although she had never seen these herbs, she was more experienced at planting than Xie Yujia.

Farming and growing herbs were, in fact, the same in theory.

“It seems like these herbs like sunshine. If you want them to grow well, you’d better build a plastic greenhouse around the field,” Grandma said while she walked around the herb garden.

“Grandma, how do you build a plastic greenhouse?” Xie Yujia asked immediately.

“To build a plastic greenhouse, you must solidify the edges of the fields with bricks and use bamboo sticks to support two layers of plastic above the field. The big plastic greenhouses in the countryside are built this way; you must curve the bamboo sticks and keep them into position with horizontal sticks…” Grandma explained.

Nodding, Xie Yujia listened attentively. During the time that she grew the spiritual herbs, she found that the plants needed different growing conditions. Some, like snow lotuses, came from cold environments, while others like Red Flame Grass came from hot climates. Others needed to grow in a pond instead of in the ordinary soil… Grandma’s farming experience gave Xie Yujia many tips.

The abundance of essence could sustain the spiritual herbs’ lives, but it didn’t mean that they would be in good conditions.

“Should I grow the plants that love water in a water field?” Xie Yujia asked.

“When I was living in the countryside, the paddies were used to grow rice. We used to dig out big ditches with a depth of one palm, a length of one meter, and a width of half a meter. There were openings on both ends, and water came in from one end and went out from the other…” Grandma gave a detailed explanation.

The sects on Fifth Heaven was oblivious to the fact that this ordinary-looking valley was brewing a Spiritual Herbs Planting Revolution!

Here, the spiritual herbs the cultivators used to make elixirs would be grown on a large scale with modern agriculture techniques!

Xie Yujia learned the properties of the spiritual herbs from Zhen Congming and got the growing methods from Grandma!

Loose cultivating, furrow irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, mulching, ridging, planting, deep cultivating, division propagation… Grandma taught Xie Yujia all the different planting techniques.

On Fifth Heaven, Grandma found her blood flowing more smoothly, and her energy seemed inexhaustible. She even demonstrated how to build plastic greenhouses with bamboo sticks to Xie Yujia.

While Grandma, in high spirit, taught Xie Yujia how to organize the garden better, Hao Ren showed Zhao Yanzi around the nearby areas of the Ethereal Summit.

Around the Ethereal Summit were three small sects: The Seven Star Sect, the Qiong Hua Sect, and Qin Yin Sect.

As the weakest sects on Fifth Heaven, these three sects weren’t even qualified to be affiliated sects of the sects on Sixth Heaven. After all, the combined size of the three sects was smaller than half of White Sand Sect.

Riding on Little White, Hao Ren flew across the sky above the three sects, and the disciples in these sects immediately kneeled and kowtowed to him.

Last time after Hao Ren gave some Foundation Establishment Pills to them, the three sects were ecstatic, and all their disciples knew that a super master lived in the valley and had a white lion as his mount!

“You even controlled three sects on Fifth Heaven!” Zhao Yanzi said excitedly as she sat behind Hao Ren.

Although she was the princess of East Ocean Dragon Palace, she couldn’t move one soldier in the clan. Seeing the respectful expressions on these disciples’ faces as they looked at Hao and her, she found Hao Ren quite remarkable!

“Zi, do you have anything to give them?” Hao Ren turned his head and asked.

Zhao Yanzi touched her ring and took out several top-tier spirit stones. “Only some worthless stuff…”

Since dragon cultivators didn’t need spirit stones to help them cultivate, they used these stones to power array formations. Therefore, in Zhao Yanzi’s opinion, they were not valuable.

Casually, she tossed out six spirit stones, and they fell into the territories of the three sects, instantly eliciting a wave of screams!

After all, even sects on Sixth Heaven treasured top-tier spirit stones!

“Let’s go to the east side and have a look!” Zhao Yanzi clutched Hao Ren’s clothes and urged in excitement.

Although she had been to Fifth Heaven before, she now had a home base. Also, Fifth Heaven was way better than First Heaven.

Little White flew to the east as five-colored flames appeared around its paws.

Suddenly, a clear shout sounded hundreds of meters from them.

“You! Stop!”

Hao Ren turned his head slightly and saw a girl in light cyan gauze clothes, sitting on a golden lion, and pointing her finger at him.
