My Master Disconnected Yet Again (Part 4)

Chapter 639: Phenomenons in the Spirit Field

Zuo Shuming had not thought that everything would be just as Lonemoon said. Even though he went up to confront the sect members, he did not manage to achieve anything. Instead, he got chased right out. Faintly, he felt as though even the outer sect masters were unsure who gave such orders to him.

He became more and more dejected. Reluctantly, he returned to the spirit field. He had no other choice. Yet, a place like that was not fit to be called a spirit field. How would it produce spirit herbs? Even if he tried to plant normal crops there, they probably wouldn't grow.

Because of this, Zuo Shuming felt like he let Lonemoon down.The guilt was killing him. He bowed respectfully to Lonemoon and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Lonemoon. It's my fau... Eh?" Before he could finish speaking, he saw that the weeds that had initially grown even taller than him were now gone. Instead, the soil had been turned out and the smell of fresh soil filled the air. "This soil... It's better now. Brother Lonemoon, you..."

(⊙_⊙)

So quickly? Wasn't the soil dry and hard just a moment ago? Wasn't it supposed to be extremely hard to grow crops here?

"Mm." Lonemoon casually got to his feet and nodded. "I've already planted the seeds. Come, come, come. Let's talk about training." He needed to advance even more quickly than he was doing right now.

"Huh? Ah!" Zuo Shuming was confused. He was still stunned by how quickly Lonemoon turned this soil around.

"What are you exclaiming about!" Lonemoon scanned him from head to toe and said solemnly, "Given your cultivation, how can you expect to improve without training? You can't delay things like your training. Why are you not grabbing the chance to learn as much as you can now?"

"Oh... Oh, alright?" Zuo Shuming was visibly shaken. He completely forgot what he had been asking about. Instinctively, he sat down and began to absorb spirit Qi into his own body. He was not sure whether he was mistaken, but he felt like the spirit Qi in the surroundings was much thicker now than it was when they first arrived here. In fact, there seemed to be more spirit Qi here than there was at the main peak. Automatically, his body became primed for training.

Brother Lonemoon was right. No matter what happened with the spirit field, his main priority was to improve his own skills. Once he was stronger, he would no longer have to worry about being bullied by others. In order to complete the sect's tasks well, he had to train hard.

But he guessed that even if he did clear this land from the beginning, it would still not be able to produce any crops. He would put in his 110 percent into growing the crops. If he really did not manage to produce the 50 stalks of spirit herbs in the end, he would accept sole responsibility for it.

Having made up his mind, he finally focused all his energy on training. Yet, what happened next caused all of his plans to be messed up. Even he became a little confused. At first, he thought that it would be good if a land like that could produce just 10 stalks of spirit herbs. Yet, the very next day, he realized that there were green seedlings covering the originally barren land. Every stalk carried with it spirit Qi. It was indeed spirit herbs growing out of the ground. And there were far more than just 50 stalks.

His heart was overjoyed. This was a miracle. There were so many crops! As long as they took care of them properly, he would be able to meet the designated number of spirit herbs they were required to hand in. It was a pity that his teammate, Lonemoon, had something else in mind.

"Brother Lonemoon, I didn't think they would turn into seedlings so quickly. The spirit Qi in the morning is especially thick. These spirit herbs will require more water. Let's go get some immediately."
