Chapter 45

Finding a land node grass, Hu Donghan immediately checked its growth condition and then marked it. However, after marking it, Hu Donghan immediately realized that observing just one land node grass would not ensure the accuracy of the final result. So, he found all the land node grasses in this medicinal field and counted them one by one.

"In one mu of medicinal field covered by the ghostly fragrance of the medicinal spirit, there are eight land node grasses. Their growth conditions are 175, 132, 115, 98, 85, 71, 36, and 35 lines. One of them is almost mature."

"According to the growth pattern of land node grass, if there is sufficient growth nutrition, it is quite normal for several lines to appear in a day. Next, as long as I observe for two more days, I should have a general understanding of the situation."

Hu Donghan thought, remembered the positions of the eight land node grasses, and then returned to his room to continue cultivating.

Two days passed, and in the one mu of medicinal field that the medicinal spirit ghost took special care of, three more medicinal herbs matured. In the other two large medicinal fields, four more medicinal herbs matured and were delivered to Hu Donghan.

As for Hu Donghan's observation records, they were finally complete.

In these two days, each land node grass had increased by five lines! This meant that the growth rate of the land node grass was 2.5 times faster than normal!

"Calculating this way, it's actually 1.5 times faster than before? And this 1.5 times is under the condition of sufficient nutrition."

"However, the medicinal spirit ghost can only exert its maximum effect for ten hours a day. This means that the theoretical cultivation acceleration of the medicinal spirit ghost is less than one time! So, what's going on now?"

Although Hu Donghan couldn't figure out the reason, this situation was indeed a good thing for him.

The faster growth rate of the medicinal herbs meant that Hu Donghan's harvest would be much greater. How could he have any complaints about this?

"I still need to check the sect's records to see if this has been mentioned before..."

Hu Donghan thought and then put this matter out of his mind.

Life on Xiaocuiping was very stable, and before he knew it, a month had passed.

During this month, Hu Donghan still lacked sufficient resources for cultivation, and his progress was slow. However, he was not particularly worried about this.

Because of the medicinal spirit ghost, there were no weeds in all the medicinal fields on Xiaocuiping, and no disasters occurred. As for watering and other tasks, as long as the miscellaneous disciples handled them well, Hu Donghan didn't need to worry about them.

As for the yield of the medicinal herbs, just the small medicinal field that Hu Donghan took special care of produced 55 medicinal herbs. Among them, the one mu area taken care of by the medicinal spirit ghost produced 35 medicinal herbs, which was truly high-yielding! In addition to the 55 medicinal herbs from the small medicinal field, the other two large medicinal fields produced 133 medicinal herbs. In total, the number of medicinal herbs reached 188!

After submitting 100 medicinal herbs, Hu Donghan still had 88 left.

This achievement was considered the best among the disciples who had managed Xiaocuiping in the past! However, this was just Hu Donghan's harvest for one month. The area taken care of by the medicinal spirit ghost had more than just the benefit of faster growth.

In the area taken care of by the medicinal spirit ghost, the mortality rate of the medicinal herbs was less than one-tenth! If there were no accidents next month, that one mu area could produce up to 200 medicinal herbs!

The miscellaneous disciples also privately calculated the total number of medicinal herbs Hu Donghan had harvested. When they finally got the number, their eyes turned red with envy.

After submitting 100 medicinal herbs, Hu Donghan could receive rewards from the sect. In addition, he could keep a considerable number of medicinal herbs for himself. The remaining medicinal herbs, whether sold for money or refined into pills at the Earth Fire Hall, would make him very wealthy.

Of course, these miscellaneous disciples only roughly estimated the number of medicinal herbs in Hu Donghan's small medicinal field based on the number in the two large medicinal fields. If they knew that Hu Donghan could keep 88 medicinal herbs, they might even have thoughts of robbing him.

The harvest of the medicinal herbs indeed made Hu Donghan very excited. However, what truly made him happy was that the medicinal spirit ghost had grown during this month!

In cultivation, the medicinal spirit ghost's progress in the Xuan Yin Heart Method was extremely fast, reaching the peak of the first level of Qi Cultivation. If it weren't for the limitation of Hu Donghan's strength, it would have definitely reached the second level of Qi Cultivation!

The medicinal spirit ghost finally had spiritual energy, and the most obvious sign was that it became much more energetic. Hu Donghan also taught it two spells, and the medicinal spirit ghost could now use them very skillfully.

The growth of the medicinal spirit ghost's strength made Hu Donghan happy. On the other hand, the gradual improvement in the medicinal spirit ghost's grade was even more surprising to Hu Donghan!

The medicinal spirit ghost cultivated medicinal herbs daily, dined, and cultivated at the Ghostly Restaurant, continuously releasing and absorbing ghostly and yin energy, which led to significant growth.

Ghosts originally rely on yin and ghostly energy to improve their grade and strength. With a large amount of food, grade improvement is inevitable! The ghostly light in the medicinal spirit ghost's body, which symbolizes its grade, became increasingly green.

Of course, the most obvious sign of growth was the gradual expansion of the area the medicinal spirit ghost could control. After a month of growth, the area the medicinal spirit ghost could control had increased by two tenths of a mu! This meant that in about ten months, the medicinal spirit ghost could completely cover the entire small medicinal field!

"The wonders of the medicinal spirit ghost are truly impressive! Its growth prospects are even more exciting! The harvest of this month is far greater than that of ordinary outer sect disciples! Even compared to ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, it might be much stronger..."

Hu Donghan sighed in his heart, marveling at the infinite wonders of the medicinal spirit ghost.

The one-month period was over, and the cultivator responsible for receiving the medicinal herbs had arrived at Xiaocuiping.

Niu Ergen first sent a miscellaneous disciple to lead the way and then ran to Hu Donghan to inform him.

After hearing Niu Ergen, Hu Donghan immediately ordered the medicinal spirit ghost to retract the ghostly fragrance and yin energy.

Soon, another miscellaneous disciple led a Foundation Establishment cultivator to Hu Donghan's residence. This Foundation Establishment cultivator looked ordinary, dressed casually, with a face full of stubble and even some dust. Clearly, he was a cultivator who didn't care much about hygiene.

Niu Ergen greeted him, completed the handover with the miscellaneous disciple, and then led the Foundation Establishment cultivator to Hu Donghan's residence before leaving.
