Chapter 148: Chapter 102: There Are Also Fishing Enthusiasts in the Cultivation Realm

"Thirty years ago, they already disappeared.

I’ve also sent out information for inquiries, and there should be news coming soon.

However, after all, it’s been thirty years. At that time, the person was already very old, so whether they practiced the Five Elements High-Tier Technique still needs further confirmation."

Brother Xiu was also very frank and directly said this.

"As long as there’s news, it’s good.

Then I will wait for your news."

Zhou Changwang couldn’t demand too much and had to say this.

"Alright.

Come back in five days. There should be further news by then."

Brother Xiu also spoke, replying.

Nodding, Zhou Changwang then bid farewell to Brother Xiu.

It was still early for the appointment with Luoxia Fairy, so Zhou Changwang didn’t go to greet and wandered around the Independent Cultivator Marketplace. He saw Chen Yushu’s stall and, as if recalling something, quickly went up to it.

"Elder Chen."

Zhou Changwang cupped his hands and greeted.

"It’s you, kid. What Spirit Rice do you need this time?"

Chen Yushu seemed a bit absent-minded, just glanced at Zhou Changwang and then asked.

"As for the Spirit Rice, pack fifty pounds of Crescent Rice for me."

Actually, Zhou Changwang’s rice bin was not lacking in Spirit Rice and could last for another ten days. However, buying some as a precaution, he casually mentioned it.

Then, slightly hesitating, he said, "Mainly, I want to inquire about something from you."

"What is it?"

Chen Yushu wasn’t surprised by Zhou Changwang’s newfound wealth. He had some understanding after the other party bought Defensive Inner Armor last time and began packing fifty pounds of Crescent Rice, only to call back and ask after hearing the following words.

"I just want to inquire about the standards for the Spirit Plant Hall’s Spirit Plant Master assessment, what preparation is needed?"

Zhou Changwang smiled, simply stating it.

What Shen Xinyue said about the Spirit Plant Master assessment had indeed caught his attention.

Now, encountering Chen Yushu, knowing he himself was a Spirit Plant Master, he couldn’t help but ask.

"Oh?

Looks like you made quite some progress after leaving the Spirit Plant Hall.

But indeed, practical progress is the quickest. Only by managing one’s own Spirit Field can you discover many shortcomings in Spirit Plant skills, truly making progress."

Chen Yushu looked at Zhou Changwang in surprise and explained, "The Spirit Plant Master assessment is actually quite simple.

The first is theoretical inquiry, where the examiner asks you some common knowledge questions about Spirit Plant growth, which can mostly be passed with some reading.

The second is the Three Spiritual Plant Techniques, namely the Fertilization Technique, Spirit Rain Skill, and Geng Metal Finger. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

They correspond to growth, irrigation, and pest control of Spirit Plants. Most need to master these three Magic techniques to pass the assessment.

The third one is quite difficult.

The Spirit Plant Hall will give you a batch of seeds to choose from, then you are tasked with cultivating them to maturity within two hours.

Although most are ordinary mortal seeds that can quickly germinate and mature with Magic, among the seeds are dead seeds, ordinary seeds, and Spirit Seeds.

Dead seeds can’t germinate at all, and Spirit Seeds require more Spiritual Qi to cultivate, making it tiresome and unrewarding, unable to mature within the specified time... Therefore, this one not only tests the candidate’s Eye Power but also requires a proper judgment about one’s own Spirit Plant skills.

If overconfident in selecting Spirit Seeds and failing to meet the requirements, you won’t pass the assessment.

Of course, if you pick the Spirit Seeds and succeed, it shows that your Spirit Plant skills are strong. In the Spirit Plant Hall, there’s a corresponding reward, and you might even get noticed by a High-tier Spirit Plant Master and become their disciple."

"I see."

Hearing this, Zhou Changwang nodded and quickly asked, "How often is the assessment conducted?"

As for being picked by a High-tier Spirit Plant Master to become a disciple?

He had no interest.

"At the end of every month.

If you register now, you might be able to participate in the assessment in a few days."

Chen Yushu shrugged and said.

"Thanks for the information, elder!"

Hearing this, Zhou Changwang hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks, then under the other’s nonchalant wave, paid the Spirit Stones, took the Crescent Rice, and left quickly.

He soon appeared at the Spirit Plant Hall.

Zhou Changwang had been an apprentice in the Spirit Plant Hall for several years, so he knew the location of the assessment. Under the guidance of a steward, he quickly filled out his information.

Of course, this also required the five Lower-Grade Spirit Stones needed for the assessment.

That’s also why the predecessor, although having left the Spirit Plant Hall, never participated in the Spirit Plant Master assessment.

Knowing he couldn’t pass, he naturally wouldn’t want to waste so many Spirit Stones.

...

"In five days.

It’s quite timely."

Zhou Changwang looked at the assessment time from the Spirit Plant Hall in his hand, squinted and stored it in his Storage Bag.

In the following days, Zhou Changwang didn’t go out.

He was busy in the Spirit Field every day.

Watching the Thunder Spirit Rice mature day by day, each grain full and heavy on the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree, his mood naturally brightened.

The Spirit Gathering Grass also grew robustly with his constant application of the Fertilization Technique and Spirit Rain Skill, almost growing taller every day.

He estimated that in no more than two months, it would be completely mature.

"Now, the only hope is that the conflict between the Bai and Chen families is postponed.

It would be best if it happened after this batch of Spirit Gathering Grass matured."

Before planting the Spirit Gathering Grass, he had considered the risks of its cultivation.

Especially after Qian Xiaoyue mentioned ’after half a year,’ and the recent events in the marketplace proved that the marketplace was not safe.
