27 Dirt poor
A small wooden house stood atop the hill surrounded by colorful flowers of different spiritual plants, and a stepping stone road that carved an S shape path around the green hill to reach the entrance of the wooden house.
The fields of Spiritual Rice and different types of Spiritual fruits and herbs, growing at the bottom of the hill spreading around the whole 60-acre area that belonged to him.
Rishi stood at the window of his wooden house taking a sip of a herbal tea, that he had prepared from the tea bushes grown around the hill, by him.
He truly felt relaxed, fresh flowery fragrance spread across the whole area.
A month had passed since Rishi had taken the wheels on the body.
He sat down and started circulating Verdant Mountain Qi. Rishi had reached the 7th stage of Qi condensation in Verdant Mountain Qi and 4th stage in Desolate Metal Qi. Yali had finished refining the kidneys and the liver, now he was busy refining the lungs.
The only thing that had not progressed was the Raging River Qi as there were no water bodies near the hillside, so it was put on hold. The Timingila with his eel-like tail sticking out looked terrifying as always. The Demonic heart was also left unattended.
Rishi did use a bit of Yaksha Demon Qi here and there, to improve the yield of his crops as being a Wood Attribute Qi it helped the plants to feel more connected to Rishi.
This was the current lesson being taught by Master Ren to him, trying to form a connection between him and his crops.
Being able to master this Rishi would be able to more easily feel the shortcomings and the difficulties of the spiritual plant.
Studying with Master had widened his understanding of the spiritual plants. Master had even told him about Immortal plants they were plants that had gained sentience and were just like a magical beast some of them even changed their form to sub humanoid or completely human just like some beasts.
Rishi sat down his study table and started reading a book that he had borrowed from his Master Ren.
"I still can't access the library this farmer business is not bringing in any money." RIshi sighed
Although Rishi was able to grow ample produce in his fields, it was still worthless as the various farming sects around the region were already flooding the markets with Spiritual Plants bringing down the price of common Spiritual plants so low that he couldn't even get enough contribution points selling to enter into the Martial library or get a good read of any of the books inside.
Heck, he couldn't even afford a meal at the Sect Mess Hall that served spiritual energy reach food prepared by Spirit Chefs.
"I told you being Spiritual Farmer is no moneymaker," Rudra said.
"I will try growing rarer spiritual plants or the plants of a higher grade."Rishi declared.
The Spiritual plants were divided into different ranks from Mortal to all the to High Heaven.
All the plants on his property were mortal grade Spiritual plants.
He had borrowed the book containing information about Earth and Heaven grade Spiritual plants to formulate his plans to grow the suitable Spiritual plants in the higher grade that would help him rake in money.
"I say why dont we accept mission like the rest of sect disciples," Rudra suggested.
"NO." Rishi adamantly declined.
"We are going to make money dont you guys worry."
Rishi prepared to get his hands on some Earth grade Spiritual plant seeds as soon as possible.
"Maybe I can ask my Master for some."
