Reclaiming the Spirit fields

"Inner Disciples?!"

"Hold the grass! You guys got promoted?"

"Boss, you're incredible!"

"Big Brother, do you need someone to hold onto your thighs?"

Other players gawked as golden text floated above First Ice Man and Wang Lufei's IDs,Inner Disciple.

"Thank you, Sect Master!" The two shouted excitedly.

He Yiming nodded, just about to continue when—

Ding! [Sect Mission Issued: Cultivate the Spirit Fields]

[Objective: Reclaim 100 acres of Spirit Fields and plant Spirit Grass seeds.]

[Time Limit: 3 days.]

[Mission evaluation will be based on completion time. The higher the rating, the greater the reward.]

[Friendly Reminder: The host may divide the mission into smaller tasks for disciples.]

He Yiming blinked.

The system… actually gave him something useful?

Cultivation required alchemy. Alchemy required spirit grass. Spirit grass required Spirit Fields.

For all 88 players to reach the Spirit Vein Realm, each needed one Spirit Ascending Pill.

One pill cost 100 spirit stones.

After four years of training at the academy, He Yiming had barely saved up a dozen.

For all of them?

8,800 spirit stones.

He Yiming stared at that mental number, then immediately abandoned the idea.

No way. Unless he robbed a sect, it was impossible.

Which meant there was only one solution—grow it themselves.

He turned to the players.

"Disciples! For the growth of the Yan Huang Sect, I have decided to open a Spirit Field!"

Ding! New Sect Mission Issued: Reclaim the Spirit Fields!

[Sect Mission: Reclaim the Spirit Fields]

[Reward: 100 Contribution Points.]

"A new mission?"

"We finally got one! But… farming? Instead of fighting?"

"How do you even farm in a cultivation game?"

Despite their complaints, nearly every player immediately accepted.

"Follow me!" He Yiming led them to the abandoned Spirit Fields.

Once a thriving land filled with spiritual energy, the fields had been left desolate for over a century.

The soil was hard as iron, covered in weeds and rubble.

Without re-cultivation and spiritual irrigation, it was completely useless.

He Yiming already knew of a water source nearby, but the real issue was finding Spirit Grass seeds.

He turned to the players.

"This is a sacred land! Once it is restored, I shall grant you the Spirit Grass seeds!"

With that, he left, hoping the task would keep them occupied for a while.

As soon as he disappeared..

"Call me the Little Prince of Farming!"

Beef Noodle grabbed a hoe and got to work.

The others followed, but soon after were stumped.

"Why is this so hard?"

"The ground is like iron!"

"It'll take a full day just to plow one acre!"

Despite their cultivation, their farming skills were terrible.

Then, Farm Master stepped forward.

"You're all doing it wrong."

Showing of his presence as a real-life veteran farmer, he demonstrated a five-step technique to maximize efficiency.

Immediately, everyone's speed doubled.

Then, Star had an idea.

"These hoes are too blunt. Let's make tools from War Hunchback Beast bones!"

"That's genius!"

"We can also split the work—some dig, some plow!"

Then, Wang Lufei stepped forward.

"You guys are too slow. Just use Colored Arm. Watch this."

His arm turned jet black, and suddenly—

Bang! Bang! Bang!

His hoe moved at lightning speed, digging entire rows in seconds.

The players froze.

"Wait… we can use Colored Arm for farming?!"

"Why does this feel… weirdly cool?"

"Everything can be solved with the haki!"

With optimized teamwork, spirit beast tools, and combat-enhanced farming, the players tore through 88 acres in no time.

Within one incense stick's time—

88 acres were done.

In two hours—

Nearly 1,000 acres were cultivated.

They even built an irrigation system, redirecting fresh water into the fields.

The final step was planting Spirit Grass.

"Brother Ming, we finished!"

"Hand over the seeds!"

"Yeah! We're ready to grow spirit potatoes!"

He Yiming stood frozen.

His eyes swept across the perfectly cultivated fields, the smooth water flow, and the players grinning expectantly.

He opened his mouth.

Then closed it.

Then opened it again.

"...How the hell did you finish so fast?"
