A week had pa.s.sed since Rudra had started his operations in the Shattered Meadows.Both the Heaven rank farmers had been able to convert a part of this plain into a Sea Serpent Rice farm.
He had started digging a small artificial pond to grow some Spirit Shark gra.s.s.
But with their current rate, they would only we able to achieve the same level as his hill farm back in the Spirit River Sect even after months.
While Rishi was a genius in farming he alone wouldn"t be able to achieve the scale which was required to fulfill the demands set by the Spirit Ocean Sect.
They needed more farmhands, Rudra was sure it was the most plausible solution.
"Slaves, do I have to purchase slaves," Rudra muttered to himself.
But as a modern man, his conscience wouldn"t allow him to use slaves.
"Recruit disciples from random villages, it might work if the master"s the one doing recruitment."
Rudra quickly formulated a plan to increase manpower in the fields.
"Rishi its time to switch," Rudra said as he felt himself gaining control of the body.
He ran towards Old Man Ren who was busy planting Emerald Guava saplings.
"Master"
"We need to recruit more disciples."
Rudra then started to blabber on about his plan to his master who listened quietly nodding his head from time to time.
"It would be best if you could start now."
"Ok, But take these." Master Ren took out some saplings from his ring.
Rudra took a good look at the Spatial Ring that was green in color and realized that it had to be a much superior ring than the one in his possession.
A ring that can keep living saplings in it was extremely rare.
Soon old man Ren flew away.
Rishi switched back to being in control and started working on the pond.
At night Rudra climbed on top of one of the rocks and started cultivating.
He had reached the peak of both Desolate Metal Qi and Verdant Mountain Qi.
He knew he had to step into the foundation building stage of both these Qis.
But he was afraid that things would not turn right if two of his Qis were in the Foundation Building Realm while the Raging River Qi was only in the 1st stage of Qi condensation.
He could not just give up on the Water Qi entirely as it would be a waste of the Timingila Immortal Spirit.
Timingila wait Rudra stood up in horror unable to find the Timingila water spirit in his Dantian.
"Where did it go?"
"It had been with him all the week on this island though it appeared restless at times."
Rudra didn"t know where to look for the Timingila.
"How did the immortal Spirit disappear."
"Wait I hear its roars" Rudra quickly tried to sense the direction of the roaring sound.
He was astonished to find it coming from the rock he was sitting on.
"Don"t tell me....."
Rudra started breaking the rock using the Desolate Metal Qi covering his hoe, he started hacking at the rock.
The morning sun rose on the horizon and Rudra had finally made a hole in the Rock revealing what was hidden within "a pool of black water".
He saw the Timingila spirit poke its head out from the pool, looking at the tiny Timingila he decides to jump into the pool.
SPLASH
The water reached only to his knees.
"Well, that"s a letdown."
He dipped his hand into the water pool skimming it around to find something as the water being dark as ink didn"t allow the bottom of the pool to be seen by him.
He something and yanked it out of the water only to realize that it was the Eel like the tail of the Timingila.
"Oops, didn"t mean to."
Rudra continued with his search only to find nothing in the end.
Rudra then jumped out of the rock to look at other rocks scattered around the meadow.
He quickly went to the next stone and started making a hole on it only for him to realize hours later that this rock was different from the previous one and completely solid with nothing inside it.
"Looks like I have to use it."
Rudra ranked the Timingila who was happily swimming in the pool of water to check on rocks.
After pa.s.sing by 5 rocks the Timingila started trying to jump towards the 6th rock, Rudra let it go and the Timingila drilled through the rock.
"This is it." Rudra once again started making a hole in the Rock at the top which would allow him to enter into the rock.
......
It became a daily activity, Rishi farmed in the day while Rudra dug into the rocks at night.
After two weeks he had dug up all the rocks that the Timingila was attracted to all of them contained the similar Ink Black Water inside.
