Chapter 31 Unexpected Situations
Don't think there's an insignificant amount of Life Essence Qi here.
But in fact, if these Spirit Plants could grow completely.
If each Spirit Plant could provide two points of Life Essence Qi.
Then the 20 acres of spirit field should at least be able to provide oneself with more than 20,000 points of Life Essence Qi.
Unfortunately, the growing environment for this batch of Spirit Plants after I left was too poor.
Moreover, due to the impact of previous disturbances, only about 1/3 of the Life Essence Qi could be harvested.
However, being able to harvest and break through to over 15,000 points of Life Essence Qi was also a sizable gain.
After completing the harvest, I performed some tidying up on this patch of spirit field.
Then, using Earth Power Skills, I adjusted the distribution of Spiritual Energy and other nutrients throughout the entire spirit field.
Leveraging the rich Spiritual Energy content within the spirit field, the adjustment process didn't face much difficulty.
I continued to plant Silver Light Grass in the shadowy areas, and Desert Lotus where the sunlight was strong.
Subsequently, Fang Yun selected a batch of decent quality seeds from the Desert Lotus plants.
Then headed to the spirit field at the top of the mountain, clearing 80 acres of the desert within that spirit field.
After that, I planted the Desert Lotus seeds in this piece of land.
As for the remaining parts of the rice field and the pond.
Fang Yun planned to visit the nearby Spirit Plant Cultivators to select some of their cultivated Spirit Plants.
To see if there are suitable Spirit Plants for these two areas.
No sooner said than done, after completing the planting of Desert Lotus.
Fang Yun began to visit the surrounding spirit fields.
Facing Fang Yun, their life-saving benefactor, the neighboring Spirit Plant Cultivators were quite enthusiastic.
When they heard he needed certain seeds for planting, everyone eagerly brought out all of their reserves.
After spending several days selecting, Fang Yun gathered a large batch of seeds suitable for planting in water.
Back in the valley, Fang Yun first dug a deep hole in the crevices within the valley.
Then he condensed a certain amount of spirit water.
Planning to experiment with these seeds in the spirit water.
To select 1~2 kinds of suitable annual seeds from them.
Later on, I would plant them in the spirit field at the top of the mountain.
The method of selection was still to use the Life Essence Qi to expedite growth.
And then decide based on the amount of Life Essence Qi harvested.
After several days of selection, Fang Yun chose two kinds of lotus roots.
One is the Spiritual Jade Lotus, suitable for planting in shallow water fields.
The reason for not choosing Spirit Rice again is that lotus roots are obviously more convenient to manage, and also allow me to have more time to research other things.
As for the idea of developing a new suitable Spirit Rice on the volcanic island before, it seems now that it will be indefinitely postponed.
The origin of such thought was the concern that I wouldn't have good Spirit Plants to cultivate.
Now, I have more Spirit Plants on hand than I can plant, so naturally, the new Spirit Rice is unnecessary.
Back to the point, another type called the Golden Jade Lotus is more suitable for planting in the deep waters of ponds.
Both types of Spirit Plants are annuals.
In this way, the two water bodies within my spirit field are just covered.
As for the lotus roots that were in the original ponds, I could only move them to a corner.
And then let them grow on their own.
Because these lotus roots are Level 1 Top-grade Spirit Plants, the Xiyue Lotus.
But these lotus roots need five or six years to mature completely.
It's obviously not in line with my planting needs.
Especially in such a conspicuous place, Fang Yun couldn't use too strong methods to expedite the growth.
Resulting in these Xiyue Lotuses becoming somewhat superfluous.
After spending a bit of time, I finished planting these two types of lotuses.
Finally, Fang Yun had some free time.
Just when he planned to resume his cultivation and take out time for the next project's development.
Sitting in the valley, Fang Yun suddenly felt a strong fluctuation of Mana coming from the distant sky.
Such fluctuations even far surpassed the mana fluctuations previously sensed by Fang Yun from the Lin Family Patriarch's ancestral power.
Sensing this, Fang Yun instinctively activated his protective shield, concealing his own mana fluctuations a bit deeper.
Then, with a leap, he arrived above the valley.
Looking towards the flying ship that was rapidly approaching from afar.
In almost a few breaths, the flying ship arrived above Sea Origin Island.
As the flying ship neared, that mana fluctuation spread like a massive signal source,
relentlessly emitting a terrifying presence around it.
Such an aura made Fang Yun feel waves of threat.
Goosebumps incessantly rose on his skin.
Others fared even worse; many of the surrounding Spirit Plant Cultivators had already collapsed to the ground.
Fang Yun also pretended to stumble and fell to the ground, then continued to look up at the sky.
At this moment, it seemed that the people aboard the flying ship had also noticed that the situation on the island was different from what they had expected,
and they began to gradually rein in their own mana fluctuations.
Fang Yun sat on the ground, his face stern, watching the flying ship in the sky that was nearly as large as a full-sized ship.
Thinking about the mana fluctuation he felt just now, which was much stronger than that of the Lin Family Patriarch at the 9th layer of Qi Refinement.
He instantly realized that there must be a Foundation Establishment Cultivator on board that flying ship.
Considering this, Fang Yun took a deep breath and tried to calm the ripples in his heart as much as possible.
Then he strove to maintain the mana fluctuations on his body to appear as normal as a typical cultivator.
Hoping not to attract the attention of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator aboard the ship.
Meanwhile, his mind was racing, pondering the purpose of this Foundation Establishment Cultivator's visit to Sea Origin Island.
Almost instantly, Fang Yun thought that this Foundation Establishment Cultivator's visit to the island must be related to the previously escaped Lin Family Patriarch.
After all, the cultivation forces inherently present in this region were not very strong; most were just Qi Cultivation practitioners, and having someone like the Lin Family Patriarch at the 9th layer of Qi Refinement was already quite remarkable.
According to information he heard through the grapevine, the closest power with a Foundation Establishment Cultivator
was at least ten thousand li away.
If there were no unforeseen events, Foundation Establishment Cultivators would rarely pay attention to such a remote place.
Since a Foundation Establishment Cultivator had come, there must be some opportunity.
Other than the fleeing Lin Family Patriarch, Fang Yun could not think of any other reason.
Thinking about the Lin Family Patriarch and then about this newly arrived Foundation Establishment Cultivator,
although he did not know why this Foundation Establishment Cultivator had come to Sea Origin Island, which only had a Level 1 Spirit Vein,
Fang Yun still felt an innate unease.
If the Lin Family Patriarch had perished completely, then the matter of him killing the Lin Family's direct descendant would naturally be completely covered up.
But if the Lin Family Patriarch had not died and instead found an even stronger backing,
once he settled the chaos within the Lin Family, it would be inevitable for him to re-investigate the incident.
Although, after this upheaval, trying to investigate the original matter clearly became even more difficult.
But it still couldn't completely put Fang Yun's mind at ease.
Thinking of this, Fang Yun's brows deeply furrowed.
However, with his limited strength at the moment, even if he could think of this possibility,
interfering was not an option.
It would instead expose himself.
That would be far too costly.
Afterward, Fang Yun continued to pay attention to the movements of the flying ship above.
Very soon, a few cultivators flew down from the flying ship hovering above the mountain peak and entered the Lin Family's residence.
Then, the flying ship did not linger for long, quickly flying forward and then disappearing into the horizon.
Seeing this, Fang Yun lightly furrowed his brow.
Because he noticed that among the people who flew down from the flying ship, there was no Lin Family Patriarch.
This made him somewhat puzzled, feeling that his previous conjecture might not be accurate.
Unable to make sense of it at the moment, he could only return to the valley to continue growing his Spirit Plants.
At the same time, he also thought about seeking out Lin Yu sometime later to see if he could find out some insider information.
