Ye Yan looked at the root willow. First, he needed fertilizer, which could be made from the stem and leaves of many plants. The leaves and bark of the willow were, for instance, good materials.
Moreover, the root willow was special. Ye Yan always felt that this tree was no ordinary willow tree. It might be some kind of spiritual tree, so fertilizer that was made from its parts would most probably be spirit fertilizer.
He didn't seem to have any no other choice now, so Ye Yan might as well give it a go. If he succeeded, it meant that the root willow wasn't an ordinary tree. But now, he had to go down the mountain because he didn't bring his hoe.
Ye Yan ran down the mountain. His physique had been greatly improved since he had reached the third level of the beginner Qi-forging Realm. Even the average adult might not have better physical strength than him.
Running from the top to the bottom of the mountain was a matter of minutes. At the foot of the mountain, Liu Hui saw that his wife had recovered when he got home after sending away the witch in town. He couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder for a long time when he heard his son telling him the process of Ye Yan's treatment.
When he wanted to go to the Ye family to thank the boy, he saw Ye Yan rushing up the mountain with a hoe.
"Little brat Ye... Hey, hey, hey?!" He was about to call out, but Ye Yan was too focused and flew past him.
"This kid..." Liu Hui couldn't help but nod in approval, "To think he didn't even rest after saving others and carried a hoe up the mountain to work. It's good to be young!"
Ye Yan took a round trip in a short time. When he returned to the mountain, he saw that Chen Geng was still cultivating and unaware of his surroundings, so he simply found a piece of land and started to dig.
The area he had reserved for the plantation was about four square meters, right next to the house. He began to make his move after he had finished his calculations. However, due to the perennial rain, the mud and stones on top of the mountain had accumulated. Even though it was full of nutrients, the soil had hardened and was too hard to dig. Ye Yan spent a lot of effort but only managed to dig a pit of about half a meter. Then he sat down, panting.
"This should be enough," Ye Yan couldn't continue anymore, so he simply moved the soil into the first grid.
Then, he needed water. This was easy. He had just brought two large wooden buckets of water over in the morning. He scooped some water and moved it into the grid.
After that was the spirit fertilizer. Ye Yan frowned as he cut a lot of branches and leaves from the root willow, and smashed them into a paste. He wasn't very detailed, but when it looked like fertilizer, he poured it into the grid.
It should work, right? Ye Yan was a little nervous. Then, the box glowed with a golden light, just like when he synthesized spells, which made him overjoyed.
[Ding! The synthetic materials for spirit soil have been collected. The smelting process will begin automatically...]
The three grids synthesized, and soon, the spirit soil was out of the furnace.
For convenience's sake, Ye Yan poured all the synthesized spirit soil into the newly dug pit. Four cubic meters was just right.
[Ding! It has been detected that the host has obtained the sect's spiritual farmland. The reward is qi-detecting grass spirit seed*10. Please check and accept it.]
Wow! Ye Yan felt great. He didn't expect to get a reward for synthesizing spirit soil. However, the four square meters of spirit soil was nothing. Now that he had 5 cold summer lotus hearts and 5 new qi-detecting grass spirit seeds in his internal storage, it was unlikely that he couldn't plant all of them.
It didn't matter though. Ye Yan wasn't in a rush to plant spiritual plants anyway. It didn't matter if he could finish planting them or not since he could just plant the next batch next time.
With that, Ye Yan dug up the spirit soil and started to divide areas near the house. He divided the land into three areas. The first was for the qi-detecting grass, and the second was for the lotus heart.
However, he did not dare to plant all the seeds in one go. After all, he was not good at farming. If all the seeds died, it would be a great loss. It seemed that he had to find an expert in farming. Ye Yan pondered in his heart that in the future, not only did he have to find someone to be the teacher of the sect, but also another person who had a green thumb.
After watering the soil, Ye Yan's task was completed. He got some water to wash up a little, then cast Impurity Removal on himself, clearing the mud on his clothes. To be honest, he really liked this function. It made his clothes much easier to wash.
A gust of calm wind blew over. The weather these days was especially cool. Ye Yan accepted the caress of the breeze with pleasure. Unconsciously, he fell asleep under the willow tree.
"Pa!" When he woke up again, he was awakened by a slap. Just as he was about to lose his temper, Ye Yan saw Chen Geng sitting beside him gloomily.
"Brother Yan, can we go home now? I'm so hungry..."
Hearing his aggrieved words, Ye Yan noticed that it was already dark. F*ck! They had to hurry up and leave, or else his dad would beat him up! Ye Yan was startled and he jumped up from the ground immediately, starting to run down the mountain as he shouted, "Geng, quickly go! We're going home!"
In the Ye family courtyard, Ye Dahai and Ye Wen were speechless, because they found that during this meal, Ye Yan had been looking around for every one or two mouthfuls of food.
"What do you want, you little brat? Why are you not eating your meal properly? What are you looking at?" Ye Dahai couldn't take it anymore and raised his fist at Ye Yan.
Hearing this, Ye Yan almost shed tears of happiness. Damn it, someone finally asked.
"Sigh! Since you've asked me so sincerely, being such a kind person, I'll..." Before he could finish his sentence, he saw a fist expanding in a straight line from the corner of his eye.
"Are you going to tell or not?"
Ye Yan jumped from fright. He didn't dare to be cheeky anymore and said honestly, "Dad, do you know about the incident with the Liu family in the south of our village?"
"Yes, Sister Liu seems to have been possessed. What's that got to do with you?" Ye Dahai asked indifferently.
Ye Yan revealed a proud smile and made a hand gesture that he thought was very handsome, "Of course it's related, I cured her!"
As soon as he said this, the room fell silent. His father and brother stared at him in disbelief, which made Ye Yan a little scared.
"But..." Ye Wen said in disbelief, "Didn't his family hire a witch?"
"Tsk!" Hearing this, Ye Yan wasn't happy, "That witch is nothing, she's just a liar! Let me tell you..."
After that, he explained how he talked to Liu Kan, lured Liu Hui away, and entered the room to cure his patient. After hearing the whole story, Ye Dahai and Ye Wen were speechless for a long time. They were stunned. Ye Wen was shocked by the story, but Ye Dahai's attention was on a strange point.
"Little rascal, is the so-called Impurity something spell really that useful?" Ye Dahai stood up with his hands on the table.
Ye Yan's face turned gloomy, he didn't expect that his weird father would focus on this.
"That's right. I only need to point and I can clean up the target," As he spoke, he cast the Impurity Removal spell on his father and brother, immediately making their clothes clean. Then, he cast it on the floor of the house, and the mud disappeared. The whole place looked as if it had just been tidied up.
"Amazing!" Ye Wen was shocked for a long time.
Ye Yan was proud of himself, but he didn't notice that his father showed a friendly smile, "Good! You'll be in charge of cleaning the house from now on!"
Was this the f*cking use for the Impurity Removal spell?!
