There were many factors that affected the growth of crops, such as sunlight, the fertility of the soil, water, and temperature. In the past, life energy had been powerful, so they only needed to be slightly managed. However, now that the Heaven and Earth Source Energy had declined, these crops had become much weaker and could easily be destroyed.
This would be fine as long as they strengthened their management, but other things, such as the diseases of crops, needed to be dealt with, so they needed many Scholars to research them.
Seeds also needed to be improved, as the situation in the Heaven Awaken World might become even worse. As such, they needed even better seeds to survive in the future.
These were the two main areas of research, but they could not be done in a short period of time. They needed long-term research.
After all, there were too many types of crops, and all of them had different seeds and different diseases, so they needed to research each and every one of them. Moreover, it was not easy to improve a single crop, and it required countless experiments and time.
Zhao Fu understood how difficult it was to improve crops, and he understood how massive this project was. As such, he used a large number of talented people to participate in the research. He did not force them to find a solution in a short period of time, as there was no point in forcing them.
However, the current situation had to be dealt with for now and could not allow the situation to continue to worsen.
Zhao Fu now understood the reason. It was mainly because the Heaven and Earth Source Energy had declined, causing crops to lose their powerful lifeforce. As such, all sorts of diseases and problems had appeared. If something could give them powerful lifeforce, those problems would disappear, and powerful lifeforce would allow them to become immune to those diseases and problems.
However, what could give lifeforce? There were many things that could give lifeforce, such as Water of Life, which could give large amounts of lifeforce. Qin City also had a lot of Water of Life, but they were usually used as healing potions for soldiers.
If it was used to irrigate farmland, the effects would be quite good, but Zhao Fu could not do this because there were simply too many farmland in Qin City. There were hundreds of billions of people there, and there was not enough Water of Life. As such, no matter how much Water of Life there was, it would not be enough.
"Is there any way to give such a large amount of lifeforce to crops?"
Zhao Fu sank into his thoughts, but there did not seem to be anything that could be used on such a large area of crops. If he did not deal with this as soon as possible, by the time the Scholars finished their research, it would be too late.
Suddenly!
Zhao Fu could sense the surrounding spiritual energy. Although the Heaven and Earth Essence had declined, the spiritual energy did not seem to have weakened.
Zhao Fu immediately understood the reason – spirit qi was the foundation of cultivation, and without spirit qi, what was the point of cultivating? If the Heaven Awaken World weakened spirit qi, countless people would die.
Moreover, not having spiritual power was equivalent to having no power. How could they resist the Alchemy World and the Chaotic World? As such, Spirit Qi would not be affected much unless the Heaven Awaken World was destroyed.
Spiritual Qi was a mysterious power that could bestow great power upon people, as well as great vitality. Moreover, it existed in the world, and the amount was incalculable. It could be used to increase the vitality of crops.
Zhao Fu quickly called over a Formation Master. The simplest and fastest way to use spirit force was to build a Spirit Gathering Formation. The spirit force in the surroundings would gather within the formation, and the plants that grew within the formation would be constantly nourished by spirit force, allowing them to obtain powerful vitality.
As long as they had vitality, they would be immune to all sorts of problems and problems would be solved.
In order to verify his idea, Zhao Fu brought the Formation Master to a field of farmland and had them create a simple Spirit Gathering Formation to cover the farmland.
The Formation Master obeyed and quickly created a Spirit Gathering Formation before activating it. The surrounding spirit force continuously flowed into the formation, and the ordinary rice plants absorbed a large amount of spirit force and became jade-green and lustrous.
Zhao Fu looked at the sickly rice plants and saw that they were quickly recovering their vitality, and the sickly symptoms gradually disappeared.
From this, it could be seen that Zhao Fu's method was quite feasible. However, after thinking about it, Zhao Fu decided to give up on this method.
After all, there were countless Counties and Villages in Qin, and each mu of farmland was not small. It would be impossible to count them all, and the amount of materials required would be unimaginable. As such, using a magic formation would not be very practical.
Unless he could create a super magic formation that covered the nine worlds and gathered the spirit qi of the other worlds, all of Qin would directly benefit, and he would not have to go through so much trouble to build countless Spirit Gathering Formations.
However, he could only think about this. After all, such a massive magic formation was not something that could be casually created. The larger the magic formation, the more complicated it would be. Right now, Qin did not have that kind of ability.
Now, he could let the Formation Masters study it, and it might be of great use in the future.
Back to the original question, how could he make the crops gain vitality and resist those sickly symptoms and problems?
Zhao Fu thought for a long time and finally came up with a method, which was to create a special item that could increase the vitality of the crops.
First, he had to build a Spirit Gathering Formation that could turn countless amounts of water into spirit water. The effect did not need to be strong; only some would be enough. Only then would the quantity be large. If the effect was strong, it would naturally take more time, and the quantity would be small.
The spirit water would be the main material, and Zhao Fu would add a bit of Water from the Spring of Life into it. He would also have the Flower Spirit cast a blessing.
With the three types of energy combined, the effect would not be too weak.
Zhao Fu quickly started to experiment. He set up a Spirit Gathering Formation that covered the water, and spirit qi continuously gathered in the surroundings. After a few days, the water had some spirit qi, and Zhao Fu poured in Water from the Spring of Life and had the Flower Spirit cast a blessing.
Finally, he gave it to the crops, and the effects were quite good. After absorbing the spirit water, the crops gained some vitality, and the sickly symptoms and problems disappeared. The fruits that they bore also became better.
Even though the crops did not have as much vitality as before, Zhao Fu was quite satisfied with the current situation. This was only a temporary solution, and he would have to wait for the Scholars to research different seeds and methods to cure different diseases.
Once the massive Spirit Gathering Formation was successfully researched, it would also have great effects.
Zhao Fu smiled and ordered people to popularize the spirit water. However, because the region was too big, it was impossible to directly use this spirit water to irrigate the crops, and they had to use it every once in a while.
