Chapter 1408 - 1406: Nourishing the Medicine Field
"Why fight over the medicinal fields? Even if you open them, they’re already withered. Each of you should find a field and nourish it using the method of ’Summon Wind and Call Rain’ that I taught you, just like I am. As for those who want to fight, let them fight."
Watching everyone, Lin Feng nourished the fields while smiling and speaking to them. Using brute force to open the fields was the most foolish method. Since he understood the situation with the medicinal fields, he certainly wouldn’t let everyone do that.
As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, everyone’s eyes turned towards him, not understanding what he meant. They hadn’t seen any improvement in the fields despite Lin Feng’s efforts these past days. Why was he arranging it this way? Could nourishing the fields be more useful than seizing the herbs?
Seeing everyone hesitant, all looking at him in confusion, Lin Feng shook his head and added, "The energy shield above the fields is to protect them. By using the mist to nourish the fields, you can revive the spiritual herbs inside. Do you understand now?"
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, everyone’s eyes widened with disbelief. They couldn’t imagine Lin Feng was telling the truth. The spiritual herbs were already withered; how could they be revived? How could that be possible! But they trusted Lin Feng. He had been nourishing the fields all this time, and if things weren’t as he said, he wouldn’t waste so much time. So, they immediately dispersed, each finding a field and nourishing it according to Lin Feng’s method.
If only Lin Feng were nourishing the fields, the impact wouldn’t be significant. But with so many people together, over a dozen vortices of varying sizes formed, causing a massive impact, attracting fog from miles around, and instantly drawing Wang Batian and others’ attention.
While they attacked the energy shield over the fields, they puzzled over what Lin Feng and others were doing. Despite the mist being rich in spiritual energy, which would make sense for self-cultivation, they couldn’t fathom its use in nourishing the fields. The spiritual herbs inside were already withered; even if nourished, they couldn’t survive. Wasn’t this a futile effort?
Unable to figure out Lin Feng’s intentions, they gave up pondering, refocusing their energy on attacking the energy shield over the fields. To them, smashing the energy shield and taking the herbs was the most straightforward and correct method. Only by obtaining the herbs themselves would they benefit.
Thus, they stopped paying attention to Lin Feng’s side, concentrating instead on the energy shield. Their goal was to acquire as many herbs as possible in the shortest time, as even withered herbs held immeasurable value. They didn’t want to miss such an opportunity.
Just like that, over a month passed in the blink of an eye. The fields on Lin Feng’s side, nurtured by him and others, were fully revitalized. However, there was still a significant difference depending on individual capabilities. The spiritual herbs in Lin Feng’s fields had turned entirely green and vibrant, whereas those nurtured by Xia Lalan and others were just beginning to show tiny green leaves.
Seeing this, Xia Lalan and the others were overjoyed, anticipating that with time, their herbs would surely rebirth. They could then harvest true spiritual herbs instead of withered ones, and the two couldn’t be compared. Thus, everyone increased their control over the spirit mist, even drawing in the surrounding mist.
This sudden change was first noticed by Wang Batian. With suspicion, he immediately extended his divine sense towards Lin Feng’s side. Upon seeing that the spiritual herbs, under Lin Feng and the others’ care, had come back to life, he stood there like a wooden statue.
This... how is this possible!
Seeing the withered spiritual herbs turning green, even a fool would realize these herbs were alive again. Such an unbelievable thing had never been heard of before. Withered spiritual herbs couldn’t possibly be reborn, but the impossible had happened, leaving him astonished!
Realizing this, he could no longer continue attacking the fields. He immediately stopped and, imitating Lin Feng and others, used the method of ’Summon Wind and Call Rain’ to guide the mist and nourish the fields, aiming to revive the withered spiritual herbs, knowing the potential value of living herbs was beyond estimation, and he didn’t want to miss out.
Soon, a massive vortex of mist formed above Wang Batian, as he guided the spirit mist to nourish the field in front of him...
The sudden change on Wang Batian’s side quickly caught Su Zhong’s attention, making him realize there was something going on. Why would Wang Batian imitate Lin Feng’s approach?
Thinking this, he immediately used his divine sense to check on Lin Feng’s side, only to be as stunned as Wang Batian by Lin Feng and others’ actions. Now he understood why Lin Feng never intended to smash the energy shield and seize the herbs initially; this explained everything!
Realizing this, he immediately used his divine sense to inform his followers of the correct method. Knowing its value, he couldn’t let them continue on their current path. If everyone he brought along could revive even one spiritual herb, the resultant value would far exceed anyone’s imagination. To say the least, one living spiritual herb would be worth all the withered ones combined. He couldn’t afford to waste any more time.
Getting the notification from Su Zhong, Su Qi and the others immediately fell into a stupor, and once they confirmed from Lin Feng that Su Zhong’s words were true, they couldn’t stay put anymore. They quickly used the Summon Wind and Call Rain technique to condense Spirit Mist, while simultaneously nourishing the medicinal fields before them.
Originally, there were already many people in this area, and when others started doing this, Chen Qing and others noticed the change in surroundings. They wondered why everyone ceased attacking the medicinal fields and instead nourished them. Could there be benefits in nourishing the medicinal fields?
After discussing among themselves, everyone decided to let Chen Qing go over to Lin Feng’s side to check the situation, as only Chen Qing had a good relationship with Lin Feng and wouldn’t cause misunderstandings. Once Chen Qing reached Lin Feng and saw the revitalized Spiritual Medicine in the fields, he immediately understood everything.
It turns out... this is the correct method to obtain Spiritual Medicine!
Once he learned the truth, he immediately transformed into a shadow and dashed back to the cultivators in the Hidden World, telling them about the rebirth of Spiritual Medicine here, which immediately excited them beyond control. They dispersed to find medicinal fields and started nourishing them using Spirit Mist.
In an instant, the entire area returned to a quiet state, silent, as everyone concentrated on guiding Spirit Mist to nurture the fields. In the sky, Spirit Mist Vortices of varying sizes seemed like signs, showcasing the strength of those below.
Feeling the changes around him, Lin Feng smiled slightly, having anticipated such a situation long ago, he wasn’t bothered and continued diligently nourishing the medicinal fields. But soon, Lin Feng remembered that the Spirit Mist contained too concentrated Spiritual Energy. Using it only for nourishing fields wasted much of it. Rather than letting this Spiritual Energy dissipate, he thought of a way to allow Xia Lalan and others to both nurture fields and improve their strength.
Thinking along these lines, Lin Feng began devising a specific method, and after a few hours, he finally came up with the perfect solution and taught it to Xia Lalan and the others. They were instantly ecstatic, realizing the Spiritual Energy was so concentrated that cultivating here would rapidly increase their strength!
Without thinking of anything else, they started following Lin Feng’s taught method, feeling themselves rapidly absorb Spiritual Energy, leading to uncontrollable excitement, focusing solely on nourishing fields alongside cultivation, disregarding all other matters.
Time flew by as everyone concentrated on nurturing the fields, no one noticing that months had already passed. During these months, under their nourishment, the Spiritual Medicine in the fields gradually regained vitality, and Lin Feng’s fields had robustly grown, with leaves full of boundless life, bringing great joy to Lin Feng, knowing the efforts over these days hadn’t been in vain.
Witnessing such positive development, Lin Feng wasn’t in a hurry to harvest but continued nourishing, understanding that the older the Spiritual Medicine, the better its effect. Harvesting now would be a waste, especially with abundant Spirit Mist available, no need for haste.
Comparatively, the fields nourished by Xia Lalan and the others were quite different. Despite their diligent efforts, they could not match Lin Feng’s. For the four Human Immortal Realm experts like Xia Guangze, their Spiritual Medicine was mostly restored to green, while for Xia Lalan and those below the Human Immortal Realm, the Spiritual Medicine had just begun showing some greenness, transforming from withered towards rebirth.
What exactly is happening here?
Wang Batian had long noticed the changes on Lin Feng’s side, paying special attention to Lin Feng’s nourishing of Spiritual Medicine, puzzled why his own nourishing efforts lagged significantly behind Lin Feng’s. Lin Feng’s medicine had robustly grown, while his had merely started sprouting a few leaves, a considerable disparity indeed.
Having watched Lin Feng’s every move clearly, he found no different actions by Lin Feng, yet why were the results so vastly different? Unable to figure it out, he was left without a choice but to abandon thinking, concentrating on nourishing the fields even if slower, as maturity would allow harvesting without haste.
Similarly, Su Zhong, Chen Qing, and others with Wang Batian also noticed such differences. Despite their efforts, they could not nurture the Spiritual Medicine as Lin Feng did, and their pace was slow, leaving them baffled, unable to grasp the rationale, considering their method was the same as Lin Feng’s.
But as things stood, they couldn’t abandon it, so they focused on nurturing the Spiritual Medicine more instead of wasting time thinking, aiming for quick maturity, allowing them to nourish other Spiritual Medicines after harvesting.
In the blink of an eye, several more months passed.
