Chương 22: Scientific Cultivation: The Most Deadly

Chen Mo stared at the pale green light screen that had just unfolded in front of him, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.

[Life Skills Panel] [Cultivation]: Lv. 1 (1/100) [Alchemy]: (Not activated) ……

He didn't look any further, his gaze sharp, and he squatted down, picking up a clump of dry, hard soil.

"Wei Changfeng, Gu Chen..."

He murmured the two names hanging above his head, his fingertips tightening.

A wisp of earthy yellow spiritual energy, like a miniature earth dragon, instantly burrowed from his fingertips into the ground beneath his feet!

hum!

A rough 3D image suddenly formed in his mind!

The surface is hardened, the deep layers are a mixture of sand and gravel, and the nutrients under the old locust tree have been completely devoured by the roots... All the problems of the land are on full display!

This is the power of combining the "Returning Dragon to Origin Technique" with the [Cultivation] skill!

Surpassing the experience of any seasoned farmer!

"Killing and robbing for treasure, drinking poison to quench thirst, are ultimately the lowest forms of morality."

Chen Mo exhaled a breath of stale air, his eyes completely changing!

Instead of struggling within the bloody rules, why not use your own rules to change the world!

Let's start from this land!

[Ding! You are attempting to spiritualize ordinary organic matter...] 【Farming skill proficiency +1. 】 He placed his palm on a pile of weeds in the corner of the wall, infused it with spiritual energy, and the weeds instantly turned into a handful of gray-black powder.

"The efficiency is too low."

Wasting 10% of your spiritual power only yields this meager amount of "spiritual fertilizer"? Demolishing the house for firewood? Stupid!

Chen Mo immediately realized what was happening.

"I am a catalyst, not an engine!"

Suddenly, everything became clear!

Cow dung and horse urine in the village, rotting leaves at the foot of the mountain... these are the natural "raw materials"!

First, use the yin and rotten qi to catalyze decomposition, then use the yang fire power to sterilize and ripen!

This is the true alchemy that aligns with the natural order!

Chen Mo's eyes lit up, and he immediately took action!

Instead of immediately turning over the soil, he used lime to mark out a small "experimental field" of about one-tenth of an acre within the half-acre plot.

Loosening the soil and picking up stones—every movement subtly embodies the [basic power generation techniques], resulting in astonishing efficiency!

Soon, a test field the size of tofu was formed.

He carried a wooden bucket and, in a secluded corner of the village, collected cow dung, rotten leaves, and pond mud, sorting them like a meticulous apothecary and throwing them into different pits.

[Ding! Your "farming" behavior is logically sound and conforms to the principle of "investigating things to gain knowledge," increasing your proficiency acquisition efficiency by 10%!] 【Farming skill proficiency +2! 】 【Farming skill proficiency +2! 】 An hour later, the [Farming] skill quietly leveled up to Lv. 2!

The soil in the experimental field before us has changed from grayish-yellow to a deep blackish-brown, like a sponge that has just awakened from its slumber, full of the breath of life.

"All that's missing is the seed."

He was worried that the ordinary seeds he had were not good enough for this land.

Boom, boom, boom!

There was a knock on the courtyard gate.

"Xiao Mo, are you home?" It was Doctor Li's voice, filled with a sense of urgent urgency.

Chen Mo pulled the bolt.

As soon as Li Langzhong entered the room, he collapsed onto a bench, poured himself a bowl of water, drank it all in one gulp, and looked utterly worried.

"Oh dear! I'm so worried! Old Sun from the west end of the village slipped and fell while fetching water from the back mountain before dawn, and his leg is swollen like a bun!"

He slammed the cloth bag onto the table, furious.

"The old well in the village was destroyed by the earthquake a while ago, and it only leaks a little water a day! The whole village has to take a long detour to get water! If this continues, more and more people will break their legs!"

A well? Water shortage?

Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes instantly lit up with an alarming light!

"Is the well completely dry?"

"That's for sure!" Doctor Li slapped his thigh.

"The village chief is so worried about this that he's got blisters on his lips. He's leading people to dig like crazy, but it's all for nothing!"

A pillow has been delivered to my sleepy head!

The layout is small!

How much experience can I possibly have in "scientific farming"?

To quickly gain experience, I must turn the entire newbie village into my experience pack!

Chen Mo's heart pounded wildly.

Water is the lifeblood of agriculture!

Solving the water problem will reward you with rewards beyond your wildest dreams!

This was also the opportunity that propelled him from a village doctor to a capable man, Chen Mo!

"Uncle Li," Chen Mo said in a deep voice, "I might be able to handle this."

Doctor Li was taken aback: "You? You, a doctor, can also do feng shui and find water veins?"

"I'm not looking for water veins."

Chen Mo walked into the courtyard, raised his hand and pointed to the stream in the distance behind the mountain, then pointed to the village.

"Since fetching water is difficult, let's let it flow here on its own!"

After seeing off Doctor Li, who was still muttering about letting the water come by itself, Chen Mo immediately went back to his room and quickly sketched on scrap paper with a charcoal pencil.

Gears, shafts, blades...

A simple structural diagram of a waterwheel leaps off the page!

After doing all this, he took a deep breath and returned to the edge of the experimental field.

"Let's get off to a good start!"

He took out an oil paper packet from his pocket, inside which were ten low-grade spirit stones!

After only a moment's hesitation, he took out a spiritual stone and buried it in the soil at the very center of the experimental field, as if burying a heart!

luxury?

No, it's an investment!

Then, he picked the plumpest cabbage seed and solemnly planted it directly above the spirit stone.

Chen Mo sat cross-legged and formed a mudra with his hands.

The Hidden Dragon Returns to Origin Technique is in operation!

Spiritual energy emanated from his body, like invisible spider silk, instantly connecting him, the spirit stone, and the seed!

A miniature spirit-gathering array is complete!

[Ding! You have created a miniature spirit-gathering array (unranked)!] [You are currently performing 'Spirit Plant Growth Enhancement'...'Cultivation' skill proficiency +10!] boom!

The spiritual energy of the spirit stone was instantly ignited, mixing with the nutrients in the soil, transforming into a powerful current of life that surged wildly into the seed!

puff!

A tender green shoot suddenly bursts forth from the soil!

Immediately afterward, under Chen Mo's shocked gaze, that tender green shoots sprouted and spread leaves at a speed that defied the laws of nature!

One piece, two pieces... When they unfold, you can even hear a "rustling" popping sound!

It was as if an invisible hand was fast-forwarding its life at a hundred times the speed!

Just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!

A giant cabbage, larger than a washbasin, emerald green all over, with a faint fluorescent glow flowing along the edges of its leaves, stands proudly!

The rich aroma of the vegetables instantly filled the entire courtyard!

[Ding! You have successfully harvested your first spiritual plant, the Micro-Spirit Cabbage!] [Quality: Low-grade.] [Effects: Replenishes Qi and blood in small amounts, eliminates impurities, prolongs life for ordinary people, and provides slight benefits to cultivators.] [Trigger the special achievement "First Harvest"!] [Reward: 1000 Experience Points! 1 Life Skill Point!] [Farming skill upgraded to Lv. 2!] This is a huge profit!

He finally realized it.

Murder and arson are nothing but crooked paths compared to farming!

This is the true path to longevity, a broad road to sustainable development!

Chen Mo observed the Spirit Gathering Grass he had planted a few days ago; it would take another two years for it to mature.

That's right, Chen Mo plucked some grass from his Spirit Gathering Cottage and planted it there.

However, this method of stimulating the growth of spiritual plants might allow for an earlier harvest.

Chen Mo suppressed his overwhelming joy, first putting the miniature cabbage into his storage bag, then picking up the paper on the table with a waterwheel sketch drawn on it, pressing his fingertips down until they turned slightly white.

it's time.

Chen Mo pushed open the courtyard gate and strode towards the home of village chief Wang Laoshuan.

The sunlight cast a long shadow over him, and every step he took was firm and solid.

Behind him, that unassuming little courtyard was already another world.
