This was Rudra's third day in the fields with Old Man Ren.

He was now coming to terms with reality and accepting his fate as a farmer.

'At least I will eat homegrown food'

"Brat, come quick, look at this." Old Man showed him a beetle that he was holding in his palm.

"This is a Fan Horn Beetle it bores into the stem of Sunny lemon, Starry Mango, Blood Lily....."

All of the teachings from Master Ren were heard with one ear removed from the other.

Rudra was zoning out thinking of the time he could have concocted a superior grade pill, face slapped some silk pant to win over a beauties heart.

Or the time when he would have crafted a better artifact...

"This whole hill along with the surrounding fields will be yours."

Rudra freaked out hearing this "My own field?"

"Yes, the best way to learn something is by trying to do the thing by yourself."

"Don't be afraid of failure kid. I will be there to guide you."

"I will leave you be for now and come check on you later." saying so Old Man Ren flew off.

"Fuck, What do I do now?" Rudra wanted to cry. He had not learned a single thing for the past three. "How am I going to look after the field if I dont even know the basics of farming"

Rudra grumbled to himself as he raised his head to take a good look at the now his hill.

This was a small hill completely barren all around it was a sharp contrast to the residence of his master that lived on a green hill surrounded by green fields all around.

"Where do I even start?" Rudra mulled over the question for a while before he started to use the hoe his master had gifted him.

Thinking about the moment when his master had passed him a hoe and had revealed that his craft was farming.

"It's no use thinking about sad moments in life," Rudra said and continued tilling the land at the bottom of the hill.

After 4 hours he was completely exhausted and he had barely gotten something done.

"Hoo, Do you guys wanna talk about something."

"Ha Ah ha, you were voted out....." Yali laughed.

".....?"

He seemed to realize that his body was still was moving, but he was in his Spiritual Expanse, so how was it possible...

"You guys kicked me of my body.." Rudra glared at Yali

"Your body... Haha...." Yali laughed at his face.

Rudra could just shut his mouth at the fact this was not his body but the body of all three of them combined.

"Sit down and try to cultivate I'm refining the kidneys now."

Rudra realized that he could cultivate various Qis in his body. He looked closely and seemed to realize that Yali was refining various organs as per the cultivation method of beast cultivation.

Rudra had many questions that he wanted to ask but all he could do was silently cultivate Desolate Metal Qi that was taught by his master.

It was a special type of metal Qi that did not require one to refine his body to be able to sense it.

Rudra slowly rotated the Desolate Metal Qi in his dantian and a greyish-silver cloud of Desolate Metal Qi started accumulating around the tiny Ancient Metal Terrapin.

"Hu Hu looks like you enjoy it tiny turtle," Rudra observed his Immortal Spirit and felt its joy transmitted over to him.

He started cultivating the Desolate Metal Qi seriously planning to enter the Qi Condensation 1st stage. Forgoing the matter of him being outed the control of the body.

While Rishi who had been trapped in the Spiritual EXpanse cultivating Verdant Mountain Qi all this time woke up in the body.

"Mhmm, the hoe is the medium, use the Qi to turn the soil." Rishi looked at the hoe in his hand and recalled what Master ren had taught.

Rishi was very interested in the teachings of master Ren, he had memorized it all to heart.

While Rudra was swimming in his daydreams, Rishi in the Spiritual Expanse was listening very closely and soaking up all the knowledge.

He started tilling the land with the hoe with the proper techniques taught by Master Ren.

In 5 minutes he had tilled more land than Rudra had in 4 hours.

Old Man Ren who was hiding nearby spying on Rudra all this time, thought to himself

"Was I suspecting him wrong?"
