Chapter 17: The Life of a Farmer (1)

For the sake of his own money-making business, he temporarily gave up the hatching of the unknown egg, Lin Ming came to the outside of the cabin and began to look for a suitable land for cultivating spiritual plants according to the description in the [Fundamentals of Spirit Plant Cultivation].

The cultivation of spiritual plants is not like planting ordinary flowers and trees, as long as the soil is gone, the growth conditions of spiritual plants are very harsh, and ordinary soil is absolutely unable to meet its growth needs.

Planting a spiritual plant on ordinary soil and trying to cultivate a spiritual plant is like trying to grow a flower on an iron stone.

Soil Seeking is a small spell recorded in the [Fundamentals of Spirit Plant Cultivation], and it has only one function, that is, to find the soil suitable for the growth conditions of the spirit plant.

Lin Ming pinched the seal with both hands, and there were words in his mouth, and when the seal he pinched out with his hands was constantly changing, a faint light slowly emanated from his body, this light was like the light of fireflies, which was extremely difficult to detect in broad daylight.

This kind of firefly light continued to emanate, surrounding Lin Ming's body like stars holding the moon.

"Go!"

Suddenly, Lin Ming's eyes widened, and between the two palms, his two middle fingers stretched out and pointed forward, and in the midst of the loud cheers, the starry firefly light floated out and fell in all directions.

Some of the glowing fireflies that flew out fell on the land next to it, and the already dim light dissipated in an instant, completely blending into the land.

"No, the soil of these lands is not suitable for the growth of spirit plants at all......" Seeing this scene, Lin Ming shook his head with some disappointment and focused on the other firefly lights.

These glowing lights are almost insignificant in the eyes of others, and in broad daylight, it is impossible to detect their existence, let alone notice the instantaneous changes when they fall on the ground.

But in Lin Ming's mind as a spellcaster, they were like fireflies in the night, extremely conspicuous, so he could clearly perceive the changes in every bit of firefly light falling on the land.

The vast majority of the other fireflies were the same as the previous ones, and the moment they fell on the land, they quickly dimmed, and finally completely dissipated and merged into the land.

In addition, when a small part fell on the land, it did not dim, let alone dissipate, and still retained its dim light.

Seeing this scene, a glimmer of light flashed in Lin Ming's eyes, but then he also shook his head and said: "The soil of this part of the land has reached the conditions for the growth of spiritual plants, but it is only reluctant, at most it is inferior, the quality of spiritual plants cultivated in such soil is definitely not better, it is better to see how the soil of other lands is, if it really doesn't work, then choose these." ”

Having made a decision in his heart, Lin Ming secretly wrote down the location of these lands.

Slowly, some of the fireflies also gradually landed, and there were fewer and fewer of the remaining ones that did not land, and those landings confirmed that among the soil quality of that land, the best was just barely reaching the minimum growth needs of the spirit plant.

Just when Lin Ming was gradually disappointed, there were a few points of firefly light falling on a piece of land, not only did they not dim, but they became brighter, and when he noticed this, Lin Ming's heart was immediately happy.

"Found it, this is it, for the first-order spirit plant, the soil here is also considered to be medium-high, haha, I am really lucky...... master"

The requirements of the spirit plant for the soil can be divided into upper, middle and lower three grades, the inferior belongs to the barely meet the growth needs of the spirit plant, just like the land that Lin Ming noted before, the medium is better, while meeting the growth needs of the spirit plant, it can also increase the yield of the spirit plant to a certain extent and the role of quality, and the better superior nature is more beneficial to the growth of the spirit plant.

Generally, if you have reached the best soil, as long as you scatter the seeds of the spiritual plant there and ignore it, you can let it grow naturally.

Of course, the requirements for soil of different classes of spirit plants are also different, just like the land with medium and upper grade soil that Lin Ming determined is only for first-order spirit plants, if it is placed on second-order spirit plants, it is nothing at all, maybe it is not even inferior.

But then again, what Lin Ming was going to cultivate now was only a first-order spirit plant, so he was already extremely satisfied with the land he had found now.

"Next, it's time for me to show my skills!" Lin Ming said secretly.

Confirming the soil of the cultivated land is only the first step in cultivating the spiritual plant, and there is still a lot of work to follow.

First of all, Lin Ming first circled the land that was confirmed to have medium and upper grade soil, roughly measured it, and found that this land was about 300 square meters, and now he was a little troubled, and he needed to make a trade-off.

He bought a total of four packs of different spirit plant seeds, and each package of spirit plant seeds is enough to plant one acre of land, and between different spirit plants, the growth conditions are not exactly the same, unless it is some special spirit plants, it is best not to mix and plant together, and his four spirit plants are not mixed and planted.

In this way, the piece of soil he chose could only be planted with at most one spirit plant for the time being, and the four spirit plants should be planted first, and he needed to make a trade-off.

"Ah...... It's really annoying.,Master, I hate multiple-choice questions the most.,Yaya's.,Forget it, the master will use the little cock to choose whoever he wants.。 ”

In the end, Lin Ming gave up the trade-off, and the "good way" of choosing whoever he clicked with a little rooster decided to plant sweet cauliflower first.

Sweet cauliflower is the most common of the first-order spirit vegetables, the taste is sweet, and the aura contained in it is slightly higher than that of other spirit vegetables of the same level, and it is easier to absorb by human monks, so it is a relatively popular first-order spirit vegetable in the Dikui cultivation world.

Of course, it also has disadvantages, its growth cycle is slightly longer than other spiritual vegetables of the same level, from seed to rooting and germination, and then to maturity, it takes 70 days, and then after harvesting once, it takes 45 days to mature each time, a total of three harvests.

Once you've decided on the spirit plant to plant first, things are much simpler.

Another small spell learned from the [Fundamentals of Spiritual Plant Cultivation] "Turning the Soil" began to play a role at this time, pinching the seal in the hand, and the mana in the body flowed to the two hands, at this time both hands emitted a faint light, and the two palms controlled the light, and slapped down the ground, and suddenly the ground in front of it was quickly wriggling and turning.

The speed of this turning is many times faster than that of the earth with oxen and even with machines.

"Yaya, if you can use this method to plough the land on the earth, you will probably lose your job if you plough the cattle......" Lin Ming thought on a whim, but the work in hand was not slackened at all, and he used the soil turning technique back and forth to loosen the soil for the land, so as to meet the needs of cultivating sweet cauliflower.

The final result was that Lin Ming was directly tired and lay down, he felt that the existence of the ploughing cow was still necessary, Nima, who knew that the earth turning technique was such a small spell that was not an attack type, and the mana consumed was not a star and a half, of course, the most important thing was that when he used the soil search technique before, the mana consumed was already a lot, and the mana in his body was already consumed.

Now that he has loosened the soil for these three hundred or so square meters of land, and successively performed the soil turning technique, he will directly exhaust his mana and will be directly tired.
