Ooom!
The Farm shook slightly.
A strange power began to spread. Under the effect of this power, the entire farm began to undergo earth-shattering changes.
The Six-tailed Fox corpse, the immortal item Jade Tower, the pile of Mahayana Foxes corpses, as well as several demi-immortal items and premium-grade sage items were all rapidly sprouting.
The Mysterious Seed that had a longer growth cycle was also rapidly sprouting, with two tender buds breaking out of the ground.
The Cloudscraper Vine that had just evolved was now swaying, rapidly changing and strengthening under the energy that wafted from the farm's leveling up.
The willow tree was rapidly changing as well.
"Aaaaah, Master …"
"So weird, I feel like something is entering my body!"
The willow tree's spirit and thoughts reached Jiang He's ears, and he barked, "Stop babbling nonsense and charge your cultivation technique to see if you could refine that energy. By the way, Dumbo, Trumbo, Bottle Gourd Brothers, and the two eaglets, try and see if you could refine that energy as well!"
Cat, dog, the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers, and the two eaglets promptly sat on the ground and began to charge their cultivation techniques.
Suddenly. Pow …
The sudden explosion left Jiang He startled. He turned to find that the ground had split open, and two leaves shining with the luster of thunder poked out of the ground.
The two leaves were merely the size of a palm, and the lightning over them was dazzling and crackling incessantly.
Pow, pow, pow!!!
A series of explosions rang out, and around the palm-sized "Thunder" leaf, more and more Thunder leaves began to grow.
"Is that the heavenly thunderbolt I planted?"
Jiang He's face twitched.
He looked up around his Farm to find that the 'walls' around the Farm were slowly disappearing, replaced by a grayish mist.
The mist churned incessantly, pushing the turbid air downwards while the clear air rose, causing the entire Farm's surface area to rapidly expand.
[Ding!]
[Your Farm's area is expanding.]
[Ding!]
[The quality of your Farm's soil has improved substantially!]
"…"
[Ding!]
[Farm leveling complete.]
"Congratulations, Host, you have successfully upgraded to Level 6. Additional rewards obtained: System Backpack space + 12, Art planting count + 5, Nine Heaven Living Soil * 1 bag, Spirit Ginseng seeds * 1 bag."
The crisp sound of the System Notification rang in his ears, and the changes in the farm quickly stopped. The pervasive power also returned to normal.
Rumble!
An aura rose up from the willow tree. The willow tree swayed and called out, "Master, I've broken through. My cultivation technique and cultivation base have both broken through. It won't be long before I can transform."
On the other hand, Dumbo and Trumbo's auras had greatly improved as well. On the other hand, the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers and the two eagles did not improve much, perhaps due to the substantial improvement at Guanyin's Bodhimanda.
The one that improved the most was the Cloud Contact Vine.
This guy was a special life form in the universe. He didn't need to cultivate and could evolve infinitely just by devouring. Previously, he had fed some demon beast corpses and evolved into 72 vines. Moreover, the length of the vines had reached one kilometer. Then, in just a short while, the length of the 72 vines had increased by a full 500 meters, reaching 1.5 kilometers. There were even faint blood marks on the vines' leaves.
Its aura was more than twice as strong as before. It probably wouldn't be long before it could undergo its next evolution.
"Moreover, the Cloud Contact Vine and the willow tree have taken root in the farm, improving the quality of the soil and greatly improving the amount of Spirit Qi in the farm. My cultivation and evolution speed would become even faster in the future!"
With that thought in mind, Jiang He turned toward the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens and the Spirit Ginseng seeds that were his farm rewards.
The Living Soil of the Nine Heavens was stored in an ornate bag that was around twenty catties.
"Legend has it that the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens was a sacred relic of humans during the primeval era, an innate virtuous soul treasure …"
"It is also said that the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens was a necessary material for Nüwa to create humans."
Information about the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens appeared in Jiang He's mind. It was also said that the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens was a divine item of the five elements and was of the earth element.
However, Jiang He felt that the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens he had was similar in nature to the Mysterious Soil, and was a type of … fertilizer.
"This thing must be an evolved version of the Mysterious Soil, although I have to try it to know its specific effect."
Jiang He turned toward the System Shop, and just as he had expected, there was a new item list for the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens.
The price …
"What the hell!"
Jiang He promptly cursed after a glance at the price of the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens, scowling. "A bag of Living Soil of the Nine Heavens costs a million Farm Points? Do you have to be so fraudulent?"
Moreover …
It was still a small bag, and it was marked as five catties.
The Living Soil of the Nine Heavens was categorized into three types: small, medium, and large.
A small bag was five catties and a million Farm Points, a medium bag was five catties and two million Farm Points, and a large bag was twenty catties and three million Farm Points per bag.
That left Jiang He deeply doubting the System's intelligence.
According to that calculation, shouldn't a bag of twenty catties be sold for four million Farm Points?
Or was there a discount for buying a large bag?
Who would buy a small bag then?
Wouldn't it be better to just buy a large bag and use it a few times?
"The compensation from the nine factions would probably arrive tomorrow, and I could test the properties of the Living Soil of the Nine Heavens when that happens."
Jiang He then took out the Spirit Ginseng Seeds.
They were packed in a bag as well.
An unusual ginseng was drawn on the outside of the bag.
The ginseng resembled a human, and the leaves on its head were tied with a red string just like its hair.
There were also several lines of text beneath the picture of a human, and it appeared to be a manual.
"Thousand-year Spirit Ginseng Seeds, a bag of a hundred … its effect is to grow white bones, revive the dead, improve cultivation, and strengthen the physique?"
"Planting method for the Spirit Ginseng Seeds … plant it in a fertile spirit field, and after planting, water it with spirit fluid every day and nourish it with mystic energy. Water it every day at eleven o 'clock, weed it at four o' clock, catch insects at five o 'clock, and bask in the sun at seven o' clock …"
There was a detailed planting method in the manual.
Jiang He studied it carefully, and found that it said at the back, "The Spirit Ginseng must be tied with a red string after it grows, or it would flee through the earth. The longer the Spirit Ginseng grows, the stronger its medicinal effect."
"…"
Hehe.
Jiang He chuckled.
Was this the Spirit Ginseng?
Why was this thing so delicate?
Watering at eleven o 'clock, weeding at five o' clock, and catching insects at five o 'clock?
If he remembered correctly, the period between eleven o 'clock and one o' clock at night, did it not?
And the period between five o 'clock and five o' clock in the morning.
The period between five o 'clock and seven o' clock.
Surely he couldn't stay up all day just to plant some Spirit Ginseng, could he?
Leaving aside the pile of things to do at night, he had to bask in the sun in the morning and shelter himself from the cold at noon. Did he really think he was a herbalist?
"My wish is to live a leisurely farming life every day. It would go against my original intentions if I couldn't sleep well because of farming."
That was why.
Jiang He tore open the bag of Spirit Ginseng and nonchalantly sprinkled the hundred Spirit Ginseng Seeds with a wave of his hand.
You can grow however you want. If I have to catch insects and weed for you once, then I'll consider it my loss.
After sprinkling the Spirit Ginseng Seeds, Jiang He turned towards his System panel.

After his farm leveled up, Jiang He's farm directly expanded from 9 Mu to 100 Mu, more than ten times its original size.
"Sigh …"
Jiang He sighed softly. "100 Mu is just 66600 square meters, which is around the size of ten football fields … and I was thinking about digging a man-made lake for my farm mansion, as well as a sea … but it seems that I'll have to wait until my farm levels up."
"Hold on …"
"When did my martial arts cultivation improve to Void-tier?"
"And I've already given up on cultivating the Nine Yang Technique. How did I master it?"
Jiang He did a double take.
When did he master it?
Why didn't he know?
(PS: Let me mention something awkward. Isn't it Gulban Festival? I had some meat and iced cola last night, and my stomach hurt badly. I went to the hospital in the morning, but the doctor said that it was enteritis, and I'm going on fluid transfusions until two in the afternoon, so I suggest everyone to skip meat.)
