Synthesis of Spiritual Herb Soil

Genuine knowledge comes from practice!

He might as well give it a try. If it failed, there would be no loss, but if it succeeded, it would serve as perfect mutual verification.

It would let him know whether his ten miles of peach blossom trees were spiritual plants or just ordinary peach trees.

Unfortunately, he had not brought a hoe up the mountain, so Lin Xiao had to run back home to get one to dig the earth.

Anyway, the sect's base had defensive functions, so Jiang Youfu would be perfectly safe staying in the thatched hut alone.

Lin Xiao sprinted down the mountain.

After returning home and grabbing a hoe, he sprinted back up the mountain.

He moved so fast that Sun Changfu missed him completely. Sun had just sent away the spirit medium, returned home, and heard his son's account of Lin Xiao successfully saving someone. He was just about to call out to Lin Xiao to thank him, but the boy was already far away.

Sun Changfu could not help but sigh in admiration, thinking that the Lin family's boy was truly hardworking, still carrying a hoe up the mountain at this hour.

Returning to the midway point of the mountain, Lin Xiao chose a spot about seven or eight meters away from the thatched hut, marked out a square area with sides of about two meters, and began to dig.

The soil on this mountain was not very thick, but fortunately, the halfway point Lin Xiao chose had accumulated some dirt due to years of rainwater washing down from above, so the earth here was relatively substantial.

It was just a bit hard.

It took Lin Xiao more than an hour to barely dig a pit half a meter deep.

The excavated dirt consisted entirely of hard clods of mud.

It was difficult to break them apart even when Lin Xiao smashed them with the back of his hoe.

So he stopped caring and directly stuffed the hard mud clods into the first slot of the Soil Synthesizer.

Then he ran to a small mountain spring not far from the base and filled the second slot with plenty of spring water.

Finally, for the third slot.

Lin Xiao went under the ten miles of peach blossom trees, swept all the fallen peach petals from the ground into a pile, and scooped them into the third slot.

It turned green!

Lin Xiao was extremely excited.

[The required materials for synthesizing spiritual grass soil have been input. Synthesis is beginning, please wait.]

To make pouring the soil easier later, Lin Xiao specifically sat by the two by two meter square dirt pit he had just dug to wait.

The synthesis speed was very fast.

[Spiritual grass soil synthesized successfully. It has been placed in your private storage. Please check it, host.]

Lin Xiao opened his private storage and poured all the soil into the dirt pit in front of him.

[Ding. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Sect's Beginner Spiritual Field (2m x 2m). You have received a reward of Spirit Gathering Grass Seeds x 10. They have been issued to your private storage. Please check them, host.]

Good heavens, there was actually a reward for developing the sect's spiritual field himself.

However, he only had four square meters of farmland. He did not know if he could finish planting the five Fog Spring Grass seeds in his private storage and the ten newly obtained Spirit Gathering Grass seeds.

But if he could not finish planting them, so be it; he would just continue clearing more land later.

Lin Xiao began to divide the four square meters of farmland into ridges.

The newly synthesized soil was very soft and dense; one look and you could tell it was excellent soil.

Lin Xiao divided this plot of land into three ridges in total, planting three seeds per ridge.

He planted four Fog Spring Grass seeds and five Spirit Gathering Grass seeds.

If any failed to sprout, the remaining seeds could be used for replanting.

If none of them sprouted... then he would just abduct a skilled farmer into the sect!

Thus, following an anti-illiteracy teacher, Lin Xiao had another profession he needed to abduct into the sect.

Finally, after watering the land, his labor for the day was successfully completed!

Highly satisfied, Lin Xiao went to the edge of the mountain spring, washed his face, and then cast a Cleansing Spell on his dirty body.

This would save him from getting whipped by his dad when he got home.

Then, feeling refreshed, he went under the ten miles of peach blossom trees, took out two straw mats, laid them side by side, lay down on them, and started a beautiful afternoon nap.

Green hills and clear waters, peach blossoms and spring breeze.

Such coziness could only be found in sweet dreams.

By the time Lin Xiao opened his eyes again, the sun was already setting in the west.

Jiang Youfu was looking at him eagerly from his side,

"Brother Xiao, it is getting dark, are we going down the mountain? I am hungry..."

He had actually slept for so long! Lin Xiao leaped up with a kip-up and rubbed his cheeks,

"Let's go, let's go home."

By the time the two returned home, the sky outside had completely darkened.

At the Lin family dinner table, Lin Xiao held his bowl, glancing left and right.

Seeing this, Lin Dayou slammed his chopsticks onto the table with a smack and glared at Lin Xiao, saying:

"You silly brat! Why aren't you eating your food! What are you looking around for! If you have something to say, say it, stop acting like a fool!"

Lin Xiao sat up straight, cleared his throat, and said:

"Dad, brother, didn't you hear anything in the village this afternoon?"

Lin Yun shook his head.

Lin Dayou said:

"What could happen in our village? What? Is there gossip in front of Widow Liu's door again? Hey! You are not a kid anymore, can you stop staring at those messy affairs all day long?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiao cried out in grievance:

"Oh Dad! When have I ever cared about those things? I am talking about Landlord Sun's family!"

Lin Dayou asked:

"Landlord Sun's family? You mean the matter of his wife being possessed by an evil spirit?"

On their way home today, they had heard many villagers discussing this matter; it would be hard not to know.

Lin Xiao nodded hurriedly.

Lin Dayou picked up his chopsticks and continued eating:

"What does his wife being possessed have to do with you?"

Lin Yun looked at Lin Xiao and suddenly said in horror:

"Erlang, could it be that you..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Brother, what are you thinking!" Lin Xiao immediately grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into Lin Yun's mouth to shut him up. "How could I harm someone! I am the one who saved her!"

Lin Dayou looked at his youngest son in surprise:

"You saved her?"

"Uh-huh."

"You really saved her? The evil spirit is completely exorcised?"

"Uh-huh." Lin Xiao finished his last bite of food and began to vividly and exaggeratedly describe the specific details of what happened to the two of them.

After he finished speaking, he saw Lin Yun looking at him with bright eyes, saying:

"Erlang, is that Cleansing Spell really that effective?"

Lin Xiao nodded and said:

"Of course! With just a wave of my hand, Sun Yigao's clothes..."

"Erlang, Erlang, quickly use that Cleansing Spell on our floor and let us see!" Lin Yun nudged him and said.

Lin Xiao patted his chest:

"No problem! Watch me."

Saying so, he cast a Cleansing Spell on the floor of their main hall.

With a swish, the floor of the main hall was completely renewed. Only the solidly packed earth remained, but the floating dust that was always present on normal days had completely vanished.

Lin Dayou was extremely happy to see this and quickly said to Lin Xiao:

"Erlang, from now on, the sanitation of our house is left to you! In the future, every morning before you go up the mountain to cultivate, just wave your hands a few times and clean up the rooms in our house before you leave."

"Ah?" Lin Xiao was dumbfounded.

"Ah what ah? It is so convenient for you to sweep the house with this magic spell. It saves me and your brother from spending so much time cleaning every day. It is settled then!" Lin Dayou felt that his youngest son becoming an immortal cultivator was actually quite useful.

Lin Xiao was just exclaiming in surprise; of course, he would not refuse.

Normally, his dad and eldest brother did all the hard work at home.

Now he finally had a way to help them share the burden without being rejected by them.

Lin Xiao immediately used a Cleansing Spell on the two of them as well.

"Dad, big brother, I have cleaned your bodies for you. Does this mean I don't have to boil bathwater tonight?"
