Other than using the five elemental laws of the Five Leaf Grass, Mo Wuji also had a second reason for using the Five Leaf Grass as a carrier to grow Green Dew Rice.
Mo Wuji was a top biologist on Earth, so he was very familiar with the characteristics of wild plants. Many wild fruit trees, after transplanting a few times, not only did they taste better, they also grew bigger. From a certain perspective, his grafting as a carrier was also considered transplanting.
Moreover, normal rice was also nurtured first, then transplanted. Even though the planting method of Green Dew Rice was different from normal rice, it still had the word "rice" on it. If he nurtured the seedlings first, then grafted them, who could say no?
Because the Five Leaf Grass was of a low grade, and it couldn't be used to concoct god pills, basically no one collected it. After the God Domain's God Domain Nest hatched, Mo Wuji collected a bunch of Five Leaf Grass.
Mo Wuji's main reason for collecting Five Leaf Grass was to learn how to concoct pills. In the Immortal World, he was a Pill Emperor, but in the God Domain, he couldn't even concoct Tier 1 god pills. God spiritual herbs in the God Domain were expensive, so Mo Wuji didn't have enough god crystals to collect a bunch of them for practice.
Now that he hadn't used the Five Leaf Grass to learn how to concoct pills, he first used it to graft Green Dew Rice.
Each Green Dew Rice was about half an inch in size, but it was extremely light in his hand, like a feather in his palm. When his spiritual will landed on it, it gave off a feeling of emptiness.
The difference between Green Dew Rice and Green Dew Rice wasn't in the shell, but in the faint outer layer.
At this moment, Mo Wuji was clear that the outer layer of a low grade Green Dew Rice was a faint grey, and after removing this grey layer, a pure white Green Dew Rice would appear. The outer layer of a middle grade Green Dew Rice was silver, and after removing the silver layer, a pure white Green Dew Rice would appear. The only difference was that this pure white Green Dew Rice had several faint silver stripes on it.
The outer layer of a high grade Green Dew Rice was a faint gold, and after removing the faint gold layer, the pure white Green Dew Rice would have several golden stripes. The more golden stripes there were, the higher the quality of the high grade Green Dew Rice.
On the other hand, a peak grade Green Dew Rice would have a true gold surface, and after removing the gold layer, the rice would also be gold.
The surface of the Green Dew Rice was light grey, and the grey was uneven. With one look, one could tell that it was a low grade Green Dew Rice.
Mo Wuji still carefully planted all the Green Dew Rice. He didn't have a good god spiritual spring, but this was his first time planting Green Dew Rice. According to the jade letter left behind by God King Green Robes, Mo Wuji used some Billion Year Immortal Wood Marrow to water these Green Dew Rice seeds.
Perhaps it was because of the Billion Year Immortal Wood Marrow, but in just half a month, Mo Wuji's Green Dew Rice seedling had grown to half a foot. Mo Wuji planted the Five Leaf Grass in his Undying World on the ground, removed the five leaves of the Five Leaf Grass, and started grafting the Green Dew Rice sprouts.
Mo Wuji did all of these things seriously.
None of the 60 sprouts died, and all of them were successfully grafted.
Thereafter, Mo Wuji installed a concealment array around his plot of land, and placed a few spirit gathering array discs under each of the rice sprouts.
The usefulness of a Formation Master was vividly displayed at this moment.
According to Gu Hai, even if Mo Wuji planted 1000 Green Dew Rice sprouts on this plot of land, it wouldn't be considered too dense. Because Mo Wuji had limited seeds, he only planted 60 rice sprouts.
Another half a month passed, and Mo Wuji discovered a problem. His rice sprouts were indeed growing better than others. However, he used the Billion Year Immortal Wood Marrow to water them. Even though the Billion Year Immortal Wood Marrow was a Tier 9 immortal herb, it was actually much more valuable. If it was in the God Domain, the Billion Year Immortal Wood Marrow might even be a high grade god spiritual liquid.
Based on this situation, when he harvested, he would most likely be harvesting low grade Green Dew Rice.
This wasn't what Mo Wuji wanted. Even though God Pill King Green Robes had a way to nurture peak grade Green Dew Rice, Mo Wuji couldn't afford that price.
Moreover, God Pill King Green Robes had pointed out that peak grade Green Dew Rice wasn't suitable for the God Continent. This sort of thing required too much energy, and as a God Pill King and a God King, they wouldn't be able to bear the cost of nurturing peak grade Green Dew Rice.
Thus, what he imparted was basically methods to nurture intermediate grade Green Dew Rice, as well as methods to increase the production of low grade Green Dew Rice.
Mo Wuji wholeheartedly wanted to nurture good Green Dew Rice, and after expending a lot of effort to no avail, he started to inspect the Green Dew Rice stalks.
When Mo Wuji grabbed a stalk of Green Dew Rice, he could clearly feel the five elemental laws within it. Mo Wuji was ecstatic. This not only allowed him to understand why the growth of the Green Dew Rice didn't reach his expectations, it also allowed him to have a clearer understanding of the five elemental laws of the Heaven and Earth.
He could feel the strength of the five elemental laws of each stalk of Green Dew Rice, and he could also feel which elemental laws were stronger and which elemental laws were lacking.
Mo Wuji guessed that this was because he didn't have any elemental spiritual roots, which was why he could so clearly feel the five elemental laws that the Green Dew Rice lacked. If it was another cultivator with spiritual roots, even if they did the same thing as him, they might not be able to clearly feel the five elemental laws that each stalk of Green Dew Rice lacked.
This gave Mo Wuji a direction, and he once again transplanted the Green Dew Rice.
In just two hours, Mo Wuji had completely disrupted the order of all 60 stalks of Green Dew Rice, and then replanted them.
This time, Mo Wuji placed the Green Dew Rice that lacked the same five elemental laws in the same region, and then he set up an exclusive five elemental array in that region.
For example, the Green Dew Rice that lacked the metal element was transplanted together, and then he set up a metal gathering array. The Green Dew Rice that lacked the wood element was also transplanted together, and then he set up a wood gathering array...
Another half a month passed like this, and Mo Wuji saw that the Green Dew Rice that he planted was at least twice as lush as the others, and this difference was still increasing. This was still compared to the Green Dew Rice from Grade A plots. If it was compared to Grade B and Grade C plots, the difference would be like heaven and earth.
In these two months, Mo Wuji was completely at ease. During this period, other than nurturing the Green Dew Rice, he would occasionally cultivate.
Four months later, when the Green Dew Rice started to bear ears, Mo Wuji's cultivation finally broke through Nascent God Level 3, and entered Nascent God Level 4.
After reaching Nascent God Level 4, Mo Wuji became even more ordinary.
Shuai Guo also became a Grade 3 Godbeast, and as for Da Huang, he was already in the advanced stages of Nascent God Level 4.
Six months later, Mo Wuji's Plot D97 was covered in a patch of pale gold. Mo Wuji was pleasantly surprised to find that every stalk of his Green Dew Rice had five ears. Every ear was filled with a heavy faint gold Green Dew Rice, and even though there were only 60 stalks of Green Dew Rice, they covered the entire plot in a faint gold colour.
The fragrance of the Green Dew Rice wafted over, and Mo Wuji only took a sniff, but he felt his heart and mind become much clearer.
This shouldn't be 60 stalks of Green Dew Rice, but 300 stalks.
There were still a few days until the harvest season, and Mo Wuji was already getting impatient. He carefully harvested the two stalks of Green Dew Rice.
The 10 ears of Green Dew Rice on the two stalks were filled with Green Dew Rice. Even though the Green Dew Rice was originally as light as a feather, Mo Wuji could still feel the weight of the Green Dew Rice.
After harvesting the two stalks of Green Dew Rice, Mo Wuji removed the faint gold colour on the surface, revealing the grains with many faint gold stripes. This was evidently high grade Green Dew Rice.
This made Mo Wuji very happy, and he suspected that the reason why he couldn't grow peak grade Green Dew Rice was because his seeds were too inferior.
Every grain of Green Dew Rice had a fragrant smell, and their length was close to an inch, making one unable to let go.
Mo Wuji estimated that these two stalks of Green Dew Rice would yield a total of 2.5 catties of Green Dew Rice, which meant that one stalk of his could yield 1.5 catties of Green Dew Rice. According to his calculations, each stalk of Green Dew Rice had five ears, and the yield of each ear was five taels.
The booklet that Gu Hai gave him clearly stated that the best Green Dew Rice in Grade A plot was only about one tael of Green Dew Rice per stalk. Because he used the Five Leaf Grass to graft, his stalk of Green Dew Rice now had five ears, and each ear had five taels of Green Dew Rice. How could this just be an increase of a few times?
Mo Wuji immediately entered the immortal estate, washed all five catties of Green Dew Rice, forged a pot, and immediately started cooking.
Ever since he could cultivate, Mo Wuji never thought that he would one day be able to cook for himself.
In just an incense's time, an irresistible aroma of Green Dew Rice wafted out. Even Shuai Guo and Da Huang, who were cultivating, couldn't help but run out, staring at the pot that Mo Wuji was cooking in.
Even though the pot that Mo Wuji forged wasn't small, five catties of Green Dew Rice was enough to cook a pot of rice.
Mo Wuji was the first to pick up a bowl to refill his bowl. Shuai Guo and Da Huang didn't even need to be instructed, they each took the initiative to refill their bowls.
There were no dishes, and with the first mouthful of rice, Mo Wuji knew that he was wrong.
Who said that one had to abstain from eating to cultivate? Cultivators could indeed abstain from eating, but he cultivated the Mortal Dao, and the desire for food was also a mortal's desire.
The first mouthful of Green Dew Rice entered his mouth, and that impurity-free, indescribable aroma of rice spread to his taste buds. Not only did Mo Wuji heave a sigh of satisfaction, Shuai Guo and Da Huang also closed their eyes, incomparably satisfied.
"It truly lives up to its reputation." Mo Wuji continuously ate half a bowl of rice without any dishes before sighing. Whether it was good or bad was just a taste test. What truly made Mo Wuji feel that it was worth it was that he could clearly feel his pill poison being dissolved, and he could even feel his understanding of the five elemental laws of the Dao of Heaven and Earth becoming clearer.
It should be said that Green Dew Rice was more suitable for people like him who cultivated the Mortal Dao.
…
"Who's cooking Green Dew Rice here?" Outside the Minor High Firmament Village, a group of men and women walked in, and immediately smelled the aroma of Green Dew Rice that was so refreshing that even their sea of consciousness became much clearer.
"This aroma and aura, could it be the rice cooked with intermediate grade Green Dew Rice?" A woman dressed in hemp clothes said in shock, "No, this isn't intermediate grade Green Dew Rice, but high grade Green Dew Rice …"
After saying this, she took a step past a few fields, and directly rushed towards Mo Wuji's D79. The people beside her also rushed over without the slightest delay. Only the dumbfounded Manager Guang Zhi was left behind.
