A Farmer's Journey To Immortality - Chapter 674: A New Section of the Everwood Farmland Unlocked
Chapter 674: A New Section of the Everwood Farmland Unlocked
A faint silver thread reached out from the new orb and connected itself to the main Dantian, establishing a formless link.
Aksai felt the link that felt distant and separate but still part of him.
Then something happened that Aksai had not expected. Inside the new shadow Dantian, a small flicker of green light appeared.
Aksai focused—and his eyes widened in surprise. It was the Verdant Elder’s beast core.
The same core he had harvested long ago and later merged into his Qi Shell stirred and slowly floated into the center of the shadow space. It pulsed with a deep, earthy glow.
Right beside it, another shape appeared—soft, shimmering, and familiar.
A tiny turtle-like creature with a shaky tail formed out of pure spirit essence.
The Verdant Elder. Or rather, its essence form. After all, the Verdant Elder’s soul had already been turned into Aksai’s Aether Beast. As such, there was no immediate way for the soul to occupy the shadow Dantian without hurting Aksai’s Aether cultivation in some way.
Still, the essence form of the beast inside the shadow Dantian ensured that the Verdant Elder’s Innate Spirit Spells would be as potent as Aksai’s own Innate Spells. This little modification was introduced by the Neutral Link Fabric that was inspired from another 3rd Order Spirit cultivation technique. One had to say that Aksai’s cheat-like ability, with its own artificial consciousness, had taken every little aspect of the shadow Dantian into account before introducing the same to Aksai.
When Aksai sent his consciousness inside the Shadow Dantian, the Verdant Elder’s essence form blinked at him with bright, curious eyes before curling into itself like a small spirit beast.
Aksai’s jaw tightened in awe.
“So this is what you meant,” he whispered.
The Neural Link Fabric continued.
[Since the Verdant Elder was a mutated beast, it could be termed as a unique creature among thousands of the demon beasts from Duya Forest. It was because of this uniqueness that it possessed three Innate Spirit Spells: Vine Barrier, Earth Control, and Fire Breath. These spells will now form Innate Cubes inside the shadow Dantian.]
The beast core glowed. The little turtle essence glowed in return. Then the three runic structures began forming around the core.
They started as faint outlines, swirling with runes and symbols, before solidifying into proper cubes.
One cube deep green—Vine Barrier.
One cube brown-gold—Earth Control.
One cube faint red—Fire Breath.
Each cube rotated slowly, absorbing spirit essence from the beast core. The tiny turtle beast let out a soft chirp and flicked its shaky snaketail proudly, as if claiming ownership of the whole space.
Aksai watched the scene unfold inside him with pure disbelief and excitement. He couldn’t believe that the diversion his Neural Link Fabric introduced in his original technique would be so groundbreaking.
Aksai’s voice was almost a whisper. “Three new Innate Cubes… formed just like that. And these are Verdant Elder’s Innate Cubes so I don’t have to take care of them. I mean not really. As long as I feed this fellow some nutritious meals, he’ll keep on growing.”
The Neural Link Fabric replied calmly.
[Yes, Master. The Innate Spells and the Spirit Core inside the shadow Dantian will grow as the Verdant Elder grows. And you may use the spells anytime, as long as the beast provides the essence.]
Aksai sat still, overwhelmed but thrilled. His foundation had just taken another leap. And yet, he had access to not just one or two but six Innate Spirit spells. Most importantly, the six Innate Spells covered various aspects from defence to agility and from attack type to AoE type abilities.
With these many Innate Spirit spells and their variations, Aksai’s battle potential had already crossed the boundaries of an average initial Core Formation Lord. As long as he didn’t allow the battle to get over quickly, the other Core Formation Lords wouldn’t be able to keep up with him.
Finishing his cultivation session for the day, Aksai left his personal chamber and soon arrived at the Enchanted Everwood Farmland. The moment he stepped onto the familiar ground, a gentle wave of calm washed over him.
The air here felt different now. It was thicker, purer, and filled with a steady flow of Spirit essence. This was due to his recent Spirit cultivation.
He walked toward the newly opened section of the farmland.
This area had only unlocked after his breakthrough into the Core Formation realm. The land itself looked darker and richer, as if it had been nourished for countless years. Faint Spirit patterns were carved into the soil, guiding the flow of essence underground. Every breath Aksai took here felt refreshing.
“This… This thing is indeed one my biggest blessings,” he thought.
The Spirit essence density here was clearly higher than the other sections. It didn’t scatter or drift away. Instead, it settled gently into the land, feeding everything rooted within it. This section was meant only for 3rd Order Spirit farming.
Aksai walked along the narrow paths between the plots. Only a few plants were growing here for now.
A tall, jade-green vine swayed softly on its own, its leaves glowing faintly under the spirit light. Nearby, a low shrub carried small silver buds that pulsed in a slow rhythm. There were also several rare herbs with thick stems and deep-colored leaves, all slowly absorbing the rich essence around them.
They were still young.
But their growth was steady and healthy.
Aksai stopped and observed them in silence.
Around the plots, several Sentient Fiends moved carefully. These fiends were shaped to serve the farmland. Their hands were like genetically mutated vines turned into hands. They were gentle, their movements slow and precise. One adjusted the spirit soil around a plant’s roots. Another released a fine mist of diluted spirit water. A third checked the stability of the spirit patterns etched into the ground.
None of them spoke.
They worked quietly, as if afraid to disturb the plants.
Aksai nodded slightly as he watched.
“They’re doing a good job.”
The plants responded well to their care. Their leaves were firm. Their roots were stable. There were no signs of stress or imbalance. The Spirit essence was being absorbed smoothly, without waste.
Aksai crouched down beside one of the plots and reached out, letting a thin thread of his spirit sense touch the soil. The land answered him warmly, confirming what he already knew.
Everything was going as planned.
Just then, the Neural Link Fabric’s calm voice echoed in his mind.
[Master, controlled use of your Innate Spirit Spells can guide growth without harming the plants. Recommend limited activation.]
Aksai opened his eyes and nodded lightly. He had already tasked his cheat-like supercomputer to optimize his 3rd Order Spirit farming. This was what it had come up with.
He raised his hand and began setting up a small array formation around a group of selected 3rd Order Spirit Plants. Thin lines of light spread across the ground, forming a simple but stable pattern.
These were techniques he had learned from the Haan Di Pavilion. They were not meant for battle, but for refinement, balance, and controlled enhancement.
Spirit stones floated out of his storage ring and settled into the array nodes. As the last stone clicked into place, the formation hummed softly.
Aksai took a slow breath.
He activated his first Innate Spirit Spell.
A gentle warmth spread from his body and flowed into the array. This was the wood-element healing spell drawn from the Sun aspect.
The light was soft and green, like early morning sunlight passing through leaves. The Spirit Plants reacted at once. Their stems straightened, their leaves relaxed, and their roots began absorbing essence more smoothly.
The growth did not speed up wildly.
Instead, it became steady and clean.
Next, Aksai activated the water-and-moon Innate Spirit Spell.
A cool, flowing aura spread across the array, wrapping around the plants like a thin layer of mist. The Spirit essence in the air became more fluid. It moved faster but stayed gentle. This helped the plants circulate essence within their bodies, reducing waste and stress.
Some of the herbs released a faint glow as their inner balance improved.
Finally, Aksai used the earth-and-star Innate Spirit Spell.
A low, stable pressure spread through the soil. The ground beneath the plants grew firm and rich. Tiny cracks closed on their own, and the roots anchored deeper into the land. This spell strengthened the plants’ base, ensuring that the boosted growth would not damage them later.
The array formation adjusted on its own, guided by the techniques Aksai had collected from the pavilion. Simple control runes shifted their positions. Refinement patterns activated one after another, working together to raise both the quantity and the quality of the harvest.
Aksai watched closely.
The Spirit Plants began to change.
Leaves grew thicker and more vibrant. Buds formed faster, but without losing their shape. The Spirit essence stored within the plants became purer, denser, and more stable. Even the scent of the herbs grew sharper and cleaner.
The Sentient Fiends paused their work and stepped back, sensing the changes. They observed quietly, ready to step in if needed.
