Chapter 13: It Can Talk
Even though they couldn"t communicate like this, they could all see each other. Niu Hanshan was already pretty angry from the start. Now that he saw the old woman senselessly sitting next to the field muttering, his anger rushed up all at once. He decided that the next time he handed in the herbs, he would report her to Master Dan Fengyan and have this resource squandering person kicked out. No matter what family connections she had, wasting resources like this, she simply shouldn"t be staying in Heaven Jade Pavilion.
Meanwhile, on that side, Su Tingyun was completely unaware that she had been marked down. She worked at the secret art of Meeting of Minds and stood in the field talking with the Purple Costus Root seeds. At the start she still asked them what exactly was up with them, why wouldn"t they sprout. But then, later, she just randomly and long-windedly started talking about the past. Some were about her own world, some were about Old Madam Wei"s. Occasionally she would spit a couple complaints, other times she would say some jokes so corny it caused people to groan. No one was there to listen, but she was still quite amused herself.

A few days pa.s.sed just like this. The Purple Costus Roots still didn"t have any indication of sprouting and now Su Tingyun started to become a bit worried. From now until the day the herbs were due was exactly twenty days, just enough for the Purple Costus Roots" growing period. If it doesn"t germinate now it won"t make it in time later. If she couldn"t complete the task she would be punished. Su Tingyun knew that this place"s punishment would definitely not be as simple as getting your hands smacked when you don"t finish your homework in time. Just looking at the face of that female cultivator next door you could tell……

Even though she was someone sent here by Spiritual Master Ling Wu, but that Alchemist Master"s rules were strict and his temper was bad, it"s still unclear if he would give Spiritual Master Ling Wu face or not. Not to mention, it might be that the Spiritual Master Ling Wu had sent her here on purpose to needle her. Su Tingyun"s heart started becoming anxious. At night she didn"t return to the loft to sleep anymore but stayed in the field like the middle aged man.
She couldn"t find Manager Song so she naturally couldn"t get anything like a woven mat. So Su Tingyun just picked a few wooden planks and some dry gra.s.s and made a simple bed to lie down on next to the field. Before she slept she even sang a lullaby for these seeds, only then did she toss and turn into sleep. This night, that feeling of spiritual conscious leaving the body appeared again.
Su Tingyun felt herself float away from her body. She could see the old person laying flat on the gra.s.s heap, her hands folded over her abdomen like the way she usually slept. But right now, looking at it, it seemed strange. It seemed like one of those millennium old female zombies from one of the horror films that laid in a coffin……
Like last time, Su Tingyun was able to see a lot further, she was able to see all the nearby spirit fields. What astonished her most was, she originally thought that next to her field was a mountain way, but actually, now she saw that it was an array.
What"s past that array? The moment this thought appeared in her head, Su Tingyun"s "eyes" also looked over. She still only saw medicine fields, but she didn"t recognize any of the medicinal herbs here. Looks like these are mid-high rank medicinal herbs.
Next to the fields were a row of bamboo houses. The outside of the bamboo houses seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, no matter what she did she couldn"t see what was inside. In the end, Su Tingyun gave up. She retrieved her "sight" and focused her attention on the main business.
Why won"t the Purple Costus Roots germinate?
Could she see what exactly was going on inside the seeds?
Su Tingyun"s line of sight penetrated the soil and saw a small Purple Costus Root seed. She examined it with rapt attention, but at this moment she heard a weak voice, "Hungry."

Hungry???
"Hungry, hungry, hungry……"
"Thirsty, thirsty, thirsty……"
This intense information instantly came pouring into Su Tingyun"s brain. She only felt that her brain seemed to have been heavily smacked by someone with a stone brick, it hurted so much that she felt dizzy and her eyes blurred, making her want to just hug her head and cry.
G.o.d Leveled Cultivating Farmer*! Su Tingyun woke up with a start. Because her movements as she sat up were too big, her simple constructed wooden bed snapped and her entire body fell directly into the field, even rolling two revolutions before stopping……
Lol, it"s the t.i.tle of a . It hasn’t been translated yet~~
Su Tingyun: "……"
Niu Hanshan who was startled by her movements twitched his lips, thinking that this old woman really made people speechless.
After Su Tingyun woke up, she didn"t pay attention to the pain but rather hurriedly used Meeting of Minds to try linking again. This time, she clearly felt the Purple Costus Roots appeals, they were hungry and thirsty……
Which meant, she watered too little, they weren"t able to drink enough, so they couldn"t sprout. Su Tingyun had strictly followed the directions on the plants archive, she had never slacked off so where did the problem come from?

The water volume that appeared when she used Spring Wind Transform Rain didn"t seem any different from when the neighboring Niu Hanshan used it. Su Tingyun carefully pondered it. Perhaps it was because her cultivation was too low, her spiritual energy little, so there was not enough spiritual energy in the water content of her Spring Wind Transform Rain, causing it to be unable to meet the Purple Costus Roots needs.
Forget it, she"ll just try to save the dead horse as if it were still alive. Deciding this, Su Tingyun quickly put Spring Wind Transform Rain to use again. She didn"t continuously just water, she listened to the Purple Costus Root"s appeals as she watered. In the end, she used Spring Wind Transform Rain three times in a row before they said they were full, exhausting Su Tingyun to the point her legs went weak and she nearly collapsed.

The spiritual energy inside her body was drained clean by the secret arts. So it turns out a body could be this exhausted, Su Tingyun has truly widened her experience. Inside, she vowed that in the future she will definitely a.s.sess her capabilities before acting accordingly.
After doing all this, she went back to rest. Because she was so tired, the moment she laid down, she fell asleep. Meanwhile, Niu Hanshan who had been secretly watching her the entire time was infuriated to the point he might have puked blood. If it weren"t for the fact that he knew there were arrays between the spirit fields so the other side simply couldn"t hear what he said at all, he would have definitely stood up to rain curses on her.
"d.a.m.ned old woman, what the h.e.l.l you doing!? If you don"t know how to plant then don"t take up s.p.a.ce ah. Is what you"re doing growing herbs? What you"re probably doing is giving the seeds a bath! Waste ah, such waste……"
Su Tingyun, with one sleep, slept all the until noon the next day. She yawned as she got up, and in the end saw that several Purple Costus Roots has exposed green sprouts. This discovery made Su Tingyun"s mood relax quite a bit. She straightforwardly used Meeting of Minds to praise all the little soft shoots a round. There were near a hundred sproutlings in the field. Since she had nothing to do, she numbered them off one by one as names. Then gave each of them a round of praise. In the end, she felt the happy mood the little sproutlings transmitted which swept the gloominess in her heart away and she also became much more energetic as well.
Niu Hanshan was completely stupefied. He never thought that after that person crazily watered them, those Purple Costus Roots actually ended up sprouting. He had noticed them even earlier than Su Tingyun. At this moment he had already thought about it for a long time. In the end, he felt that it was because Su Tingyun"s cultivation was too low so the strength of Spring Wind Transform Rain was too weak, that why she probably had to use it more times.
They, these people, weren"t Alchemists, so it never gets to the point of anyone giving anyone else advice. They all simply followed the spirit plants archive"s instructions as they planted. Whatever it said to do was what they did and they were all extremely afraid of missing a step. But now, looks like the spirit plants archive couldn"t take care of everything after all.
But there had never been a Qi Condensation Stage Spirit Herbalist. No matter which sect, a person that wanted to farm had to be at least Spirit Condensation Stage. A Qi Condensation Stage pract.i.tioner simply didn"t have the ability to keep the medicinal herbs alive, that"s why this incident that was inconsistent with the spirit plants archive would occur.
Niu Hanshan finally understood what was happening on the old woman"s side, and now he switched his attention to the spirit field on the left. The Spirit Herbalist on that side, Qi Suzhen had always been pretty much on equal ground with him. This time what she planted was the third rank Nix Orchid Gra.s.s, but something must have happened because right now the entire medicinal field was wilted and many leaves were turning black. If she couldn"t find where the problem was, she"d have to give up hope of completing this time"s a.s.signment.
Lately the Alchemy Master"s mood didn"t seem to be that great. If she couldn"t complete her task, she"ll probably be chased out. At that time, she"ll be screwed.
