Last time, the half patch of spirit field planted with Crescent Spirit Rice had yielded only 200 jin. Over the past six months, Xu Chunniang had eaten a full 180 jin of it.
Even counting everything, she had only 50 jin of Crescent Rice left.
Yet after planting this improved Crescent Rice, the yield had doubled outright!
This harvest alone was enough to feed her for an entire year. She had practically achieved spirit rice freedom.
With the joy of harvest on her face, Xu Chunniang finished gathering the spirit rice and Crescent Rice. It was time to check on those little fellows she had been focusing on cultivating.
Would those thirty-six tiny Crescent Rice plants bring her another surprise?
Xu Chunniang harvested the spirit rice in the corner of the spirit field—roughly 25 jin, about the same as last year's harvest.
After examining it carefully, Xu Chunniang discovered that this batch of spirit rice was similar to Crescent Rice in both grain size and yield, but the spiritual energy contained within it was even richer.
The spiritual power contained in one jin of this spirit rice was roughly equivalent to the spiritual energy in one and a half jin of Crescent Rice.
Xu Chunniang could not help but feel moved. If she replaced the Crescent Rice with this spirit rice instead, would the returns not be even greater?
But she quickly realized that things might not be so simple.
During this planting cycle, Xu Chunniang had vaguely sensed that the harvest from Spirit Field No. 172 had almost reached its ceiling.
After all, this was only a low-grade spirit field. Growing a small amount of this new spirit rice was one thing, but if she expanded the planting area, the spirit field simply could not support it.
Unless she
