2 Chapter 2 Little Farmer_1

Translator: 549690339

The Spirit Farmers lived in simple houses, with a small courtyard and three rooms. The Inner Sect Disciples, however, were different. It was said that they could own an abundant spirit energy estate.

Lin Yi first took out a few packages from his pocket, which were by-products of his research on poison.

After arriving in this Cultivation World known as Heng Yuan World, he spent a few days figuring out his situation. His parents had both passed away, and the original owner obtained the identity of an Outer Sect Disciple of the Liu Yun Sect through bribery. He was then tricked into taking twenty acres of Spiritual Field.

Since the Spiritual Field required careful care, and the original owner wasn’t very experienced, he hardly had any time for cultivation after tending to the field every day. Long-term labor coupled with the difficulty of cultivation led him to the brink of demonic possession, and he eventually died.

After crossing over, he discovered that the Cultivation World wasn’t as beautiful as he’d imagined, in fact, it was extremely ruthless. It could be described as a world of the survival of the fittest. So, he decided to keep a low profile and research ways to save his life.

Poison was one of these methods. He didn’t seek to poison Cultivators, just to buy some time so he could run away.

Fortunately, he lived to see the day the Golden Finger appeared, but this Golden Finger was a bit weird.

Looking at the now disappeared message window, Lin Yi silently called open the title, and suddenly a panel appeared in front of him.

[Name: Lin Yi]

[Title: None (Undecorated Title: Path of Survivor)]

Looking at the simple panel information, he silently mocked in his heart, it really only had a title.

He immediately selected to wear the title, and the panel information changed instantly. [Title: Path of Survivor]. Below it, a new item appeared, [Current effect: Hatred Value-5%, Presence-5%, Cultivation Speed+10%].

The effect of this title was truly a treasure of the Path of Survivor, reducing Hatred Value and Presence. Only an unseen transparent man could truly be safe.

However, Realm Concealment did not appear in the current effect, it should only take effect after his cultivation levels break through, otherwise, hiding a level of his cultivation now would be too conspicuous and does not meet the requirements of the Path of Survivor.

Lin Yi studied it carefully and suddenly noticed that under the title of the Path of Survivor, there was something like an experience bar. He tried to focus his gaze on it, and a line of small print appeared, (First Stage 0/100).

He couldn’t help but be a little excited, it seemed that this Title could also be upgraded. As such, the effects could be continually improved.

He had no idea if this so-called Title System was intelligent, Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask in his heart, “How do I quickly upgrade my title, and gain more titles?”

However, after waiting for half a day, there was no response. Lin Yi confirmed that this Title System was only a functional Golden Finger, without any intelligence.

He felt that the upgrade of the Path of Survivor Title must be related to survival. It seemed he had to fully commit to the Path of Survivor from now on.

As for how to obtain more Titles, it should be through repeatedly performing a certain action. With this thought in mind, he couldn’t help stepping out of his house, picking up a hoe, and beginning to weed the Spiritual Field.

After spending most of the day, Lin Yi finally cleared the weeds from the remaining Spiritual Fields. Luckily, his home was in the countryside, he often went home to help his parents with the farming. Otherwise, arriving in the Cultivation World with no knowledge, he would just be waiting to be driven out of the Outer Sect.

Spirit Rice would mature twice a year, each acre of land could yield 700 pounds of Spirit Grain per year. However, 500 pounds per acre must be handed in, leaving only 200 pounds. In other words, the Liu Yun Sect was the landlord, and they were just tenant farmers.

Well maintained, twenty acres of Spiritual Field could yield 4000 pounds of Spirit Grain per year. A typical Qi Refining Cultivator would consume about 1000 pounds of Spirit Rice per year to ensure steady improvement in their cultivation levels.

When the husk of one pound of Spirit Grain was removed, only seven ounces of Spirit Rice would be obtained. So, he needed more than 1400 pounds of Spirit Grain to meet his needs. This would still leave more than 2500 pounds of Spirit Grain.

It looked ideal, but as a cultivator, he needed to cultivate, and these twenty acres took up a significant amount of time. When he first arrived, the original owner had left a mess. He had to spend all night weeding and pesting, squeezing out time for cultivation.

Therefore, ordinary people would only rent, at most, ten acres of land. Like the original owner, who was easily persuaded to take twenty acres, thinking he could harvest four thousand pounds of spirit grain a year and live happily ever after, was simply an idiot.

After weeding, Lin Yi, without a break, began to cast the Cloud Rain Technique, watering some slightly dry spirit rice. This almost depleted his spiritual power, and he just wanted to sleep.

Just then, another message appeared before his eyes, “Host has carefully maintained the spiritual field and worked tirelessly,earning the title [Little Farmer], would you like to equip it?”

Lin Yi was instantly energized, he quickly focused his attention on the title, seeing a line of small characters below, “Quality +5%, Disease and Pest Resistance +10%, Yield +5% (require long-term use of beneficial spells on plants).”

Looking at the effects of Little Farmer, a delighted smile appeared on his face. This was precisely a farming tool.

Compared to weeds, various insects were more harmful to the spiritual field. Excessive weeds would at most reduce the yield as the spirit rice couldn’t keep up with getting nutrients. But if insects were to multiply, they could eat the whole spiritual field bare.

Without hesitation, Lin Yi chose to equip it. After opening the panel, he realized that the Title column only had three slots. So, did that mean he could only equip three titles simultaneously?

For now, three slots were probably more than enough. When he’s not farming, he could replace the Little Farmer with other titles.

As the night gradually fell, Lin Yi, carrying a hoe, returned home very tired. He went to the kitchen, cooked some spirit rice porridge, picked some vegetables from the yard, walked to the chicken coop, touched two eggs, threw them into the pot and stir-fried them.

The vegetables and chickens in the yard were set up by him after he came to the Cultivation World. The original owner couldn’t even take care of the spiritual field, let alone grow vegetables and raise chickens.

After the meal was prepared, Lin Yi had a feast. Feeling a heat rising in his body, he immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate.

Although the spiritual energy in the Outer Sect of the Liu Yun Sect was slightly higher than outside, it was still unable to meet the daily cultivation needs. Therefore, he needed the spiritual energy from the spirit rice to assist his cultivation.

Of course, if he had enough spirit stones, he could buy pills or rent a cave mansion, which would indeed increase the efficiency of cultivation.

What he is cultivating is the commonly seen Creation Method in the Cultivation World, which means anyone can cultivate it regardless of their cultivation talent. As for the realm one can reach, it entirely depends on fate.

The cultivation level of the original owner was at the Qi Refining Three Layers. It had been over two months since he came here, and he had been cultivating almost every day, struggling to stabilize the damaged cultivation caused by the demonic deviation.

After absorbing the spiritual energy from the spirit rice, Lin Yi opened his eyes, estimated the time, and a smile appeared on his face. It was indeed faster than before. It seemed that the cultivation speed effect of Path of Survivor was real.

At this moment, a popup appeared in front of him again, “The host cultivates every day, commendable perseverance, earns the title [Newbie], would you like to equip it?”

Seeing the message in the popup, Lin Yi couldn’t help but get excited. For a cultivator, cultivation was the most important thing. He quickly focused his eyes on the title and saw the small characters appearing below.

“Cultivation Speed +10%, Spell/Skill Improvement Speed +10%, Breaking Through Difficulty -5%.”

The effect of [Newbie] made him cheer involuntarily. Coupled with the cultivation speed of The Path of Survivor, that’s an increase of 20%.

As for the increased spell improvement speed, it should imply techniques like Cloud Rain Technique would rank up faster.

As for the last one, a decrease in the breaking through difficulty of -5%, it was simply the ultimate cultivation tool. The most difficult step for cultivators was to break through their bottlenecks; failure to do so meant stagnation in cultivation levels.

Think about it, if the breaking through difficulty is reduced by 100%, cultivation would be smooth sailing. There wouldn’t be any bottleneck to encounter. As long as the cultivation level is reached, the realm would naturally improve.
