Chen Mobai crouched down, carefully observing those charred seedlings. Under the Echoes in the Void, he quickly listened to the faint lifeforce remaining within.
Although these rice seeds seed to have failed, the fact that they could grow in this soil indicated the potential to adapt to this new environnt.
"Master, I plan to crossbreed these Spirit Rice seeds that have sprouted leaves to see if we can cultivate new seeds that adapt to the soil environnt here..."
Next to him, Zhuo Ming, already the leading Spirit Plant Master of the Five Elents Sect, was able to be guided by Chen Mobai only due to the knowledge he had from the Immortal Gate.
In practical experience, there was no need to ntion; since joining Xiao Nanshan, Zhuo Ming had been busy with crossbreeding Spirit Rice. Seeing different types of Spirit Soil, she instinctively thought about cultivating fields for planting Spirit Rice, a notion that had beco almost second nature to her.
"The direction is very correct; what we need first is to cultivate Spirit Rice that can grow, and then consider grade, taste, and so on..."
Chen Mobai nodded in agreent after listening.
"It’s just that it might take a long ti."
Zhuo Ming wasn’t worried about not having results. After all, when cultivating Rank-2 Spirit Rice in Giant Tree Ridge, she nearly failed a thousand tis before finding the right seed.
For this reason, the various sects in the Tianhe Realm were very cautious about their own Spirit Rice seeds.
Because it might be the result of several generations’ hard work.
"Let’s focus on repairing the Spirit Veins of East Wu Land first; Spirit Rice is no longer the primary issue for our Five Elents Sect."
Seeing Zhuo Ming gaze at the charred leaves and shoots, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but remind her, fearing she might waste too much ti in this regard.
"Yes, Master!"
Zhuo Ming imdiately nodded after listening.
Thanks to her efforts, and Chen Mobai’s century-long leadership in the sect’s conquests, the Five Elents Sect now had four Rank-3 Spirit Rice varieties, nineteen Rank-2 varieties, and hundreds of Rank-1 varieties.
These encompassed all needs from Core Formation to Qi Cultivation, Body Forging, spiritual lifeforce and blood gas, etc.
Now the only thing missing is the Rank-4 Spirit Rice required by Nascent Soul Cultivators.
This level of Spirit Rice was not found in the Three Regions of the Eastern Continent Frontier.
They were mainly imported from East Land or East Yu.
The Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Five Elents Sect primarily consud Three-Colored Spiritual Rice imported from the Star Heaven Dao Sect.
This was said to be a Rank-4 Spirit Rice watered with Three Lights Divine Water, and consuming it over a long term could enhance a cultivator’s Essence Qi. It was precious even among Nascent Soul Cultivators, not easily purchased by ordinary forces.
The Star Heaven Dao Sect was willing to sell it to the Five Elents Sect, owing to a batch of Golden Liquid Jade Pills refined by Qing Nu, which helped them gain two additional Golden Core Cultivators.
After verifying the effectiveness of the Five Elents Sect’s Golden Elixir Spiritual dicine, the Star Heaven Dao Sect’s attitude naturally beca very favorable.
However, since the Star Heaven Dao Sect had so many Nascent Soul Cultivators, even for their own consumption, the Three-Colored Spiritual Rice was insufficient, so the amount sold to the Five Elents Sect was just enough for one or two people.
Chen Mobai himself didn’t need it. Given his status in the Immortal Gate, he could eat different kinds of Rank-4 Spirit Rice per al; he had even been fortunate enough to try Rank-5 Celestial Rice exclusively for Divinity Transformation ancestors once.
It was offered to him by Qi Yuheng, and the taste was indeed extraordinary.
In the Five Elents Sect, he doesn’t consu Spirit Rice, nor does Zhou Shengqing.
Mo Douguang and Zhou Ye could barely manage by sharing it. But Chen Mobai certainly couldn’t let his own Nascent Soul Cultivators go hungry, so he used his connections with the Nine Heavens Morality Sect to purchase Profound Heaven Spiritual Rice from this Holy Land.
This was a superior grade of Rank-4 Spirit Rice, and it was only because Ye Qing permitted it that the Five Elents Sect could buy it.
However, if the Five Elents Sect planned to continue expanding in the future, they would certainly need to have Rank-4 Spirit Rice at their disposal. Zhuo Ming had recognized this and noticed that although the Spirit Veins in East Wu Land were shattered, the soil contained unprecedented fertility, prompting her to consider whether Rank-4 Spirit Rice could be experinted with here.
In response, Chen Mobai had long had a solution.
And that was simply to bring it from the Immortal Gate to plant it.
In the past, the Five Elents Sect’s lack of power necessitated keeping a low profile; they dared not reveal these good things.
But now it was different. After the expansionist wars, the Five Elents Sect’s power was fully exposed, and even in East Land, their reputation was significant.
While having many wouldn’t work, having the planting skills for one Rank-4 Spirit Rice was reasonable.
They could say it was a legacy from the Longevity Sect.
"With the soil being so fertile here, when the Five Elents Spirit Veins take shape in the future, it will likely be possible to easily develop Rank-4 Spirit Fields, or even Rank-5 fields at the center. It’ll be a pity if it’s not used for farming."
At this mont, Qing Nu spoke up. While the master and apprentice were discussing the Spiritual Rice seeds, she had already inspected the soil with her professional skills and was quite surprised.
"Thunder embodies both destruction and vitality. When Elder Su and I unleashed hundreds of Spirit Veins to turn the Million Desolate Sea Demon Tribe to ashes, it was an act of destruction. But the energy in heaven and earth is cyclical. Now, during the recovery process, the lifeforce stored within is also being released..."
After perceiving East Wu Land’s situation with his Earth Spirit Realm, Chen Mobai instantly understood the cause.
It wasn’t just him; even Zhuo Ming felt the sa. Upon arriving here, her All Things Spiritual Communication sensed the vibrant lifeforce contained within the devastated land.
