章 62: Chapter 62: High Yield of Spiritual Grain
After sprinkling the Spiritual Plant Accelerating Bone Powder, Lin Xiao watched in amazement as the sixteen young spiritual grain plants in the field began to grow at a visible pace. Soon, they started to form ears of grain.
To his delight, these spiritual grains were extremely productive! Each plant produced a cluster of grain heads.
As time passed, the grains on these heads began to grow and plump up. With just a rough estimate, Lin Xiao could tell that the yield of these spiritual grains was astonishing.
Once the spiritual grains were fully grown, Lin Xiao decided that in the future, he would plant as much of this spiritual grain as possible!
Holding a large bundle of full, heavy ears of grain in his hands, Lin Xiao felt deeply satisfied. The future food supply for his sect was now secure.
He pulled out a sickle and began harvesting the grain.
Sixteen plants were harvested in no time.
After collecting all the spiritual grains, Lin Xiao stored them in sacks and placed them in his storage space, ready to take them home.
Once home, he processed the grains and weighed them. To his surprise, the total yield was sixteen jin (about 8 kg)!
This meant that each plant had produced a full jin of rice!
Lin Dayou and Lin Yun, who were watching, were stunned, especially Lin Dayou, who had been farming for over twenty years.
He immediately asked Lin Xiao, "Er Lang, did you save any seeds?"
Lin Xiao was momentarily taken aback. He had completely forgotten about that!
Seeing his confused expression, Lin Dayou didn't need to ask any further. He knew right away that his careless son hadn't saved any seeds. He glared at Lin Xiao.
"Kid, how could you harvest without saving seeds? I should've made you work in the fields more often!"
Feeling embarrassed, Lin Xiao scratched his head.
"I just wanted to process them quickly so we could taste them tomorrow…"
Seeing Lin Dayou about to lose his temper again, Lin Xiao quickly took out the four leftover spiritual grain seeds from his storage space and showed them to him.
"Look, Dad! I still have these from before!"
Seeing the four seeds in Lin Xiao's hand, Lin Dayou snorted.
"Four seeds? That's not enough for anything. They might not even sprout."
Lin Xiao leaned closer and whispered to his father, "No, Dad, really! In the spiritual field, every seed I planted grew, without any losses. I planted sixteen seeds, and all of them survived!"
Hearing this, Lin Dayou was shocked. He looked at Lin Xiao with wide eyes.
"Are you serious?"
Lin Xiao nodded.
Lin Dayou grabbed the seeds tightly.
"Give me these seeds. Tomorrow, I'll go up to your spiritual field and plant them myself! You're too careless. You don't appreciate how important this is!"
Lin Xiao thought this was a great idea and suggested, "How about you and Brother just move up there? We have the sect's defensive array, so no wild animals will get in. It's very safe. And with you taking care of the fields, Brother can focus more on his cultivation."
Lin Dayou rolled his eyes.
"We have more fields to manage than just those few. We still have several mu (a unit of area) of farmland to take care of."
Lin Yun added, "It's just a small field, not even one mu. I can handle it myself. There's no need for Dad to go up there."
Seeing he couldn't convince them, Lin Xiao sighed and handed the Teleportation Talismans and Locator Talismans to Lin Dayou. He then explained his upcoming trip to the secret realm.
After hearing this, Lin Dayou frowned and asked, "Do you really have to go to this secret realm?"
Lin Xiao replied, "Not necessarily, but going there could be very beneficial for our sect's development. But don't worry, Dad, I'll prioritize my safety. If things look bad, I'll get out of there right away."
Although still worried, Lin Dayou nodded in agreement. He knew that even if he was concerned, he couldn't hold his son back from doing what he was passionate about. After all, if he stopped him now, his son might never accomplish anything in the future.
However, he still felt the need to caution him.
"Listen, boy, scholars say your body is a gift from your parents. Your whole body was nurtured by your mother and me. If you go to that secret realm, don't you dare come back injured, or it'll be unfilial to us, got it?"
Lin Xiao quickly reassured him.
"Don't worry, Dad! If there's any danger, I'll be the first to escape!"
Lin Yun also chimed in, "I think you don't need to go to that secret realm at all. Our sect is doing just fine as it is. Why do we need to develop further?"
Lin Xiao explained, "Brother, our sect is small. If we were to compare it to the real cultivation world, it wouldn't even be a speck to them. We need to strengthen ourselves and the sect while we're still under the radar, so we don't get wiped out by someone later."
Hearing this, Lin Dayou became even more worried.
"If cultivation is that dangerous, I think you should all stop. Let's just live our lives."
Lin Xiao scratched his face, feeling the conversation was going in circles.
"Dad, sometimes danger finds you even if you don't cultivate. Living in this world, trouble and danger won't avoid you just because you're not strong enough. In fact, if we have the opportunity to grow stronger, we should take it. That way, when trouble comes, we'll be ready for it. Don't you think that makes sense?"
After a long discussion, Lin Xiao finally got Lin Dayou to see things his way.
Then, the three of them went to the old house to distribute the talismans and, of course, explain how they worked.
By the time they left the old house, the moon was already high in the sky.
But Lin Xiao still felt uneasy.
On the way home, he stopped and told Lin Dayou and Lin Yun, "Dad, Brother, you go ahead. I just remembered something I need to do. I'll be back soon."
Lin Dayou gave him a look and nodded.
"Alright, be careful and don't stay out too late." With that, he and Lin Yun continued on their way.
Lin Xiao turned and headed in the opposite direction, towards another part of the village.
The villagers followed a strict routine, rising with the sun and resting with its setting.
By now, the night was deep, and most of the villagers were already asleep.
Du Liushui, the village chief, was no exception.
As the village head, he was often approached during the day to resolve various issues. He increasingly felt his age weighing on him.
He had long wanted to pass on the role of village chief, but his son wasn't particularly bright, and he couldn't find a suitable replacement among the younger generation.
As a result, he always went to bed early, even if he couldn't sleep. Lying down and resting his weary bones was his only relief.
Lin Xiao silently entered Chief Du's room.
He didn't disturb anyone in the Du family, not even their dog, which continued to sleep soundly in the yard.
