“Junior Brother Lin, we congratulate you in advance.” The two deacons of Sinong Palace spoke, their fists clenched in a salute. Seeing the increased yield and quality of the harvest, they could no longer predict what rewards the Hall Master would give.
“You both have worked hard and it’s almost noon. Why not stay for a al?” Lin
Yi smiled and returned the salute, cordially extending the invitation.
The two deacons waved their hands, “No need, we have to go to the next Spiritual Field for inspection. It just happens to be the field of the fellow Daoist next to you, Huang De Sheng of plot B-37.”
Previously, they had served within the hall as deacons and were not involved in the business of spiritual field trading. This allowed them to retain their positions.
They were well aware that Huang De Sheng had been a Spirit Farr for many years and there had been no reports of increased production. Therefore, the increase in production was likely related to Lin Yi.
“Deacon sirs, I am here. Please follow ,” Old Huang said, a smile on his face. He had also benefited from Lin Yi’s good fortune, and estimating his ranking, he was probably in the top ten in the entire sect.
Lin Yi went over to join Huang De Sheng and after weighing, the average yield per acre had reached over 370 kilograms, with an increase of over 20 kilograms
Der acre.
While it was not as earth-shattering as Lin Yi’s 60 kilograms, it was still quite astonishing.
This caused the surrounding Spirit Farrs to feel a mix of envy and jealousy. What great luck this old man had, having Lin Yi as his neighbor. They too wished for such a talented farming neighbor, as the saying went, “when a man attains the Dao, even his pets ascend to heaven.”
The two deacons also congratulated Huang De Sheng before leaving with Spiritual Field Manager ng Le Min.
The surrounding Spirit Farrs ca up one by one, expressing their congratulations and admiration to Lin Yi, who in turn clasped his hands in thanks.
After everyone had left, Old Huang walked up and respectfully bowed, “Daoist Lin, I thank you deeply.”
If not for Lin Yi’s constant help in watering his field, there was no way he would have achieved such an increase in yield. He was grateful for his past decision to assist Lin Yi.
“Daoist Huang, you are too polite. We should help each other out. Ah, it’s almost noon. I haven’t decided what to eat yet,” Lin Yi shook his head and smiled, looking at the sky.
“Let’s go to Qing Yun City’s Tavern, my treat,” Old Huang said without hesitation.
A few days later, all of Liu Yun’s Spirit Rice had been harvested. Sinong Palace began the busy work of ranking the yields based on quantity and quality. The Hall Master and the elders determined the rewards for each ranking.
The news of Lin Yi’s yield reaching over 400 kilograms per acre of Spirit Rice had spread throughout the Outer Sect, causing everyone great astonishnt and envy.
In all these years, the yield of Spirit Rice for low-grade Spirit Fields had always been 350 kilograms per acre. Only with good care could such a yield be achieved, so it was unbelievable that soone had exceeded this by nearly 60 kilograms.
Moreover, everyone was anticipating the first Spirit Field ranking rewards—what would they be, and could the Sect’s top perforr potentially earn a chance to enter the Inner Sect?
On the tenth day after the Spirit Field harvest, Sinong Palace announced the ranking results of the harvests and corresponding rewards. The announcent would be posted in each Spirit Field planting district—first, it would be posted on the outer walls of Sinong Palace.
On the morning the announcent was posted, all the Spirit Farrs got wind of it and gathered at the Outer Sect Sinong Hall’s square, waiting. The square, capable of accommodating tens of thousands, was packed to the brim, with so people even squeezed into the trees.
Of course, many of the Spirit Farrs were just there to join in the excitent. Only the top 100 in the entire sect and the top ten from each planting district could receive rewards.
Lin Yi initially intended to quietly wait in his own district, but was forcefully dragged by Old Huang and several Spirit Farrs who wanted to join the excitent to the Outer Sect Sinong Hall. The square was already filled with many people, and the front was fully occupied.
However, when so Spirit Farrs noticed Lin Yi—the top ranker of the entire sect—had arrived, they stepped aside, allowing him and his companions to move to the front.
At si hour, the grand doors of the Outer Sect Sinong Hall swung open. Several deacons walked out, took a colossal placard from a storage bag, and posted it on the high wall of Sinong Palace.
All lifted their heads to look. Written at the forefront was the ranking of the Outer Sect lower-grade Spirit Fields, “First Rank: Lin Yi of Plot B-38, with an average yield of 408 kilograms per acre, exceeding the standard by 58 kilograms. Upon assessnt by the Sinong Palace, the inner spiritual energy content exceeds the standard by about 15%, the quality superb, deed an exceptionally exceptional Spirit Farr.”
Seeing the comnts ahead, everyone’s faces showed astonishnt. The spiritual energy content was exceeding the standard by one-and-a-half percent, which was truly unbelievable. This was equivalent to an additional pound and a half of spiritual energy in ten pounds of spirit rice.
They all continued to look towards the back, curious about the exceptional reward. It read, “After discussion in the Sinong Palace and given approval by the Sect Affairs Hall, the reward is promotion to Inner Sect Disciple.”
Upon seeing these words, the once boisterous scene instantly fell silent. Everyone’s eyes widened, their hearts stirring like stormy waves.
The promotion to an Inner Sect Disciple was previously only a speculated reward, but it had beco a reality. Was this farming into the Inner Sect?
An Outer Sect Spirit Farr becoming an Inner Sect Disciple of the Liu Yun Sect was unthinkable in the past, as it was deed impossible. But now, those characters confirming it were right before their eyes.
After the silence, the entire scene turned unruly. Shocking exclamations and shouts filled the air.
“Farming could lead soone into the Inner Sect, it’s simply incredible.”
“Lin leaps from an Outer Sect Spirit Farr to becoming an Inner Sect Disciple, he’s truly risen teorically.”
“Not only has the production increased, but even the spiritual energy content has risen. The farming talent is incredibly high, I’m not even jealous of this brother becoming an Inner Sect Disciple.”
“Finally, us Spirit Farrs have a goal, we’re not destined to be Spirit Farrs for life.’
Seeing the reward, Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel surprised. He also didn’t know what the reward was; being promoted to Inner Sect Disciple was just a thought, but it had beco reality.
He slightly guessed it wasn’t as simple as it appeared on the surface. There might be other factors. For an Outer Sect Spirit Farr to beco an Inner Sect Disciple could be likened to instant ascension.
Subsequently, they continued reading. It goes without saving the second-place holder was the Spirit Farr next to Lin Yi, Huang De Sheng of No.37
C-category, with a production increase of 21 pounds, excellent quality.
The third place was a Spirit Farr from the A-category area, Jiang Sheng Long, with an increase in production of 18 pounds, dium quality.
Many people were surprised by this, wondering if there were truly this many Spirit Farrs with a high talent for farming.
However, the rewards for the second and third places were the sa, entrance to Sinong Palace to beco a deputy assistant, or upgrade spirit field to a dium grade with two years of field rent exemption.
People were very tempted by these rewards. There’s no need to choose, definitely will choose to beco a deputy assistant.
You should know, the deacons of Sinong Palace were Inner Sect Disciples, enjoying a fixed salary. Their work was also more relaxed than farming. Becoming their assistants raised one’s status, with high chances of promotion.
In previous Sinong Palaces, you couldn’t get any reward even if you had increased the production. You’d have to be a Spirit Farr your whole life. Promotions were impossible, and the only way to enhance the field’s grade was to maintain the relationship.
After seeing the list, Lin Yi was also astonished. He had the title of [Little Farr], and at the second tier, he was able to increase the produce and quality by 10%. He hadn’t thought soone else could achieve this, which was simply incredible.
Seeing Lin Yi’s astonishnt, Old Huang, who was next to him, laughed heartily, “Little Lin, don’t be so surprised. Do you know how he increased the yield?”
“After the new hall master issued the order, he reduced his land from ten to five acres. He often purchased so lower-grade wasted Gathering Qi Pills, removed the impurities, grounded into powder, dissolved it in water, and sprayed it on the spirit field soil to enrich the spirit rice.”
“Even if these are wasted Gathering Qi Pills, they are still expensive. He spent hundreds of spirit stones just purchasing pills, exhausted all his savings, and even borrowed so money, all just to obtain the reward.”
Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh. This was using the Spirit Stone for rewards. He was virtually fertilizing the spirit rice, and the fertilizer was dicine.
If the spirit field is full of nutrients, the spirit rice will naturally grow better. His title of [Little Farr] also adds more nutrients to the spirit rice through the Cloud Rain Technique.
However, this was sort of an exploit. Once Spirit Farrs learn about this thod, they would wager everything they had on the next planting session. No one would quietly farm anymore..
