My Daily Life of Farming in the World of Cultivation-Chapter 93: The Re-grafting of the Vine
Found a relatively flat area and checked the humidity and temperature of the place.
Also roughly observed the components in the soil.
After meeting all his requirements in every aspect, Fang Yun began to use the vines to dig out a huge pit on this flatland, hundreds of meters wide and tens of meters deep.
To speed up the vines, Fang Yun even used his mana to enhance the vines.
With the vines wildly rolling, in no time, a huge pit appeared before Fang Yun's eyes.
He filled the giant pit with a giant octopus, then looked for tree branches and fish corpses that were left on the beach from earlier.
He threw everything into the giant pit.
Then covered up the giant pit.
With the island's temperature and humidity, it wouldn't take long for everything in the pit to decompose and then merge into the surrounding soil.
By then, the soil in this entire area would form some high-nutrient substances.
By then, he could use them for planting crops.
Having done all this, Fang Yun went back to his dwelling to eat something and then began to rest.
After all, too much had happened that day, and he was indeed a bit exhausted.
In the following days, Fang Yun did not think about cultivation.
Instead, he wandered around the island and used the stones on the island to make himself some tables and chairs.
At the same time, he rearranged the cave he was living in.
Since he was going to live there for a while and had some free time now, he might as well improve his living environment.

After dealing with these matters, Fang Yun's spirit returned to its peak state.
He then picked up the leftover vines he had collected previously and started to consider the questions left from before.
During the encounter with the giant octopus, it was obvious that his vine was somewhat weak in combat strength.
Part of it was because Fang Yun did not command it himself.
But from another aspect, regarding the toughness and impact force of the vine at the combat level of the giant octopus,
It indeed seemed a bit weak.
Had it not been for a chance that greatly increased the combat strength of the Spiritual Insect, Fang Yun would not have had an easy time.
Therefore, the reason why Fang Yun originally thought about growing more vines was fundamentally due to dissatisfaction with the insufficient combat strength of the vines.
However, if more vines appeared, how much could they actually enhance his combat strength?
Fang Yun was not very sure.
Imagine facing the giant octopus again or some even more powerful enemies.
Even with a large number of vines, the effect they could have is quite limited.
So, after calmly thinking for a while, Fang Yun realized that just increasing the number of vines did not enhance his combat strength as much as he imagined.
The best method was still to enhance the length, hardness, and sharpness of the thorns of the vines.
If he continued to think along this line, the best way to enhance these aspects of the vines
Was to perform new grafting work on the vines, just like he did previously on Spirit Water Island.
And for the grafting target, Fang Yun clearly had one in mind.
Thus, Fang Yun walked into the cave and from the corner took out four metal plant seeds that he had previously placed there.
After such a long time, the Fire Attribute energy within these metal plant seeds had already dissipated completely.
Only the original Gold Attribute energy and Wood Attribute energy were left.
This was just right; the remaining Gold Attribute energy was exactly what he needed to cultivate the vines.
Among the four seeds, he randomly picked one that had the most abundant Gold Attribute energy, and returned the others to their original place.
Fang Yun took this seed outside the cave and began to catalyze it with Life Essence Qi.
As the Life Essence Qi was infused, the metal plant seed began to crack, and roots started to drill out from the seed.
Once the seed's shell was completely absorbed by the roots, Fang Yun's palm held a metal plant with about twenty roots.
At this stage, the work with the metal plant was considered complete.
Next, he needed to finish the work on the vine side.
Then, he could proceed with grafting.
Thinking of this, Fang Yun chose an open area.
He let the vine take root again.
If he were on Spirit Water Island, this would be the time to use Earth Power Skills and Spirit Rain Skill to provide the vine with sufficient nutrients.
Then let it continue to develop towards full maturity.
However, having experience cultivating metal plants, Fang Yun already knew the role of his Life Essence Qi at this stage.
Naturally, he would not waste a lot of time waiting for the vine to mature naturally.
Thus, Fang Yun held the vine's branch and began to infuse a large amount of Life Essence Qi.
As the Life Essence Qi continued to infuse, the cells inside the vine's body kept multiplying.
Allowing the vine's body to continue growing towards full maturity.
Soon, bulges began to form on the vine, and a large number of flowers bloomed.
Then the male flowers began to pollinate.
After completion, all the female flowers that had grown were supposed to start fruiting.
However, Fang Yun thought about it and realized he did not need that many seeds.
Better not to waste the vine's energy.
Thus, relying on his control over the vine, he directly manipulated the energy flow inside the vine's body.
Directing it straight to one of the female flowers.
The rest of the flowers were allowed to wither.
Then, under the continued effect of Life Essence Qi, the carefully selected female flower began to bear fruit.
Only when the fruit was fully mature did Fang Yun stop the infusion of Life Essence Qi.
With the fruit harvested, the vine that had performed meritorious service for Fang Yun, after contributing a sum of Life Essence Qi, also met its demise.
Fang Yun glanced at the vine as it reached the end of its life, shook his head with a sigh, and then, carrying the new vine's seed, moved to another piece of land.
He began to catalyze the vine's seed with his own Life Essence Qi.
Soon, under the effect of Life Essence Qi, the vine's seed began to push its root system out of the hard shell of the seed.
Then quickly passed through its juvenile phase and entered the growth stage.
Subsequently, Fang Yun redoubled his efforts, directly cutting off the part of the metal plant that had grown to a certain stage, beyond its root system.
At the same time, he cut off the vine's root system.
Then he directly grafted the vine's branches onto the root system of the metal plant.
Life Essence Qi, following Fang Yun's thoughts, began to heal the wound sites of the two plants.
At this point, Fang Yun had completed the grafting work on the vine.
