I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 626: Chapter 400: Ten Thousand Acres of Spirit Field_1

On the side of the Immortal Sect, in the great plains, a single person can manage thousands of acres of Spirit Fields.

The reason this is possible relies on all kinds of powerful Agricultural Mechanic Artifacts.

From tilling the soil, fertilizing, sowing, to the final harvest, all you need to do is drive the machine, and it can be easily done.

You don’t need to buy these machines yourself, you just need to apply to the Immortal Sect to queue for renting them.

Of course, the yield of large-scale planting can’t match meticulous cultivation, and the condition of Spirit Fields must be great plains. In places like hills and mountains, the role of large machines would be greatly reduced.

Giant Tree Ridge happens to be a hilly region, and the best central plains area has been developed into medicinal fields that plant the most precious drugs of the Divine Wood Sect.

But for cultivators, altering mountains and changing rivers is not a difficult task.

“Your idea is to flatten this area on the south side of Giant Tree Ridge.”

After listening to this, Meng Hong pulled out a map from the courtyard and pointed to a large area centered around Xiao Nanshan. There are many abandoned Spirit Fields here, but due to standing hills and mountain ranges, these Spirit Fields are divided into chunks, scattered, and disorganized.

But if we follow Chen Mobai’s plan and remove all the mountains here to flatten them, indeed, we can reorganize to create vast plains of Spirit Fields.

“That’s my idea, what do you think, Elder Meng?”

“I’m afraid it won’t be feasible, because flattening a mountain directly can only be barely achieved by the two old ancestors. Moreover, the Spirit Veins in various places of Giant Tree Ridge have been put into the Array Flags of the Mountain Protection Array. If you want to move the mountain, the Large Formation has to be reset, which is too much work, and the three temples and twelve departments will not agree.”

Although Meng Hong was very tempted by the Spirit Rice planted in the plains as described by Chen Mobai, after his own analysis, he felt that this task was almost impossible to complete.

If it’s just moving one or two mountains, considering Chen Mobai’s status and position, probably both old ancestors and Chu Zuoshu would turn a blind eye.

But if they want to flatten all hundreds of mountains on the south side of Giant Tree Ridge, that’s going to affect the source of Spirit Veins in the whole Giant Tree Ridge. Even the two old ancestors wouldn’t dare to do that, and they can’t either.

“In that case, we can only make do, and redevelop the hilly areas into terraces. However, if it’s not a plain, the role of machinery will be limited and we must increase manpower. There is no need for Spirit Plant Masters, just farmers who know how to plant crops will do.”

“You mean, mortals?”

Meng Hong, who has also been the Sect Leader, understood Chen Mobai’s words immediately.

“Yes, although there are quite a few mortals in the sect, I feel that there are still too few. We don’t need too many people. Each mortal is responsible for three or four acres which is fine. I calculated that approximately one thousand mortals are needed.”

There are mortals in Giant Tree Ridge, most of them are around Divine Wood City, mainly managing all kinds of medicinal fields under the leadership of Sect Disciples, because the number of Spirit Plant Masters in the Divine Wood Sect is insufficient.

Chen Mobai’s plan for mortals to guard the Spirit Fields and plant Spirit Rice is also learning from others.

Zhuo Ming hires dozens of farmers every year to help watch over the Spirit Fields in Xiao Nanshan and Small Yang Ridge.

These farmers don’t need to know the techniques of Spirit Planting. They just need to watch it every day, notify Luo Yixuan when there’s a lack of water, and notify Zhuo Ming when there’s any disease or pest infestation.

Zhuo Ming will come over in due course for other tasks like sowing, fertilizing, harvesting, etc.

“If we use mortals to look after thousands of acres of Spirit Fields, it would solve one problem, but so many Spirit Fields need to be sown at the same time, I’m afraid that just relying on your disciples, it may not be feasible.”

As Meng Hong thought, there are only a few days each year for sowing and harvesting. Relying just on Chen Mobai and his disciples to develop hills into terraces and to sow, he couldn’t figure out a feasible solution.

“Recently, I obtained three types of puppet blueprints from the Talent Tree of Longevity Sect — one is a sowing puppet, one is a stone-breaking earth-moving puppet specifically for developing terraces, and the other is a Harvesting Puppet. Just put Spirit Stones in them, and even mortals can operate them freely.”

As a puppet genius, Chen Mobai had thoroughly researched the combination of Agricultural Studies and puppets in the past, and had all the agricultural puppets at his fingertips.

But as it was too advanced, he decided to attribute it to the name of the Longevity Sect in the Divine Tree Secret Realm. After all, the sect’s top management knew about his amazing talent and that he had obtained the true inheritance of the Longevity Sect.

Chen Mobai took out a pen and paper, drawing the rough sketches of the three types of puppets in front of Meng Hong, who was full of admiration after seeing them.

“This is really ingenious, a masterpiece of the heavens!”

The research on machinery and artifacts from the Immortal Sect far surpasses that of the Tianhe Realm. But due to a scarcity of Spirit Stones, most of these machines and artifacts are only owned by major agricultural societies. In places like Chen Mobai’s hometown, Green Mountain Village, it’s basically meticulous hand cultivation.

The main reason is that there are too many cultivators in the Immortal Sect and there is an excess of labor.

But it’s completely different here in the Eastern Wilderness. Although there are many cultivators, basically everyone is busy with cultivation. Very few are willing to farm, so Chen Mobai thought of using Agricultural puppets as a replacement, and then let mortals operate them.

In this way, the thousands of acres of scattered Spiritual Lands on the south side of the Giant Tree Ridge can be gradually developed. If everything goes according to his plan, in the end, in addition to the original desolate Spirit Fields, about six to seven thousand acres of terraced fields could be developed.
