When Shen Changchuan first proposed reforms for Great Bay Village, Han Qinhu, despite fully supporting him, harbored some internal worries.

After all, Shen Changchuan was too young!

He was still a youth, and young people, driven by passion, could impulsively turn good intentions into bad outcomes. Han Qinhu had witnessed this before in his life.

Furthermore, they had no experience in cultivating spirit fields.

Whether this change would be good or bad had no precedent.

Naturally, they felt uneasy.

Fortunately, Shen Changchuan's later plan was not reckless. It only involved reorganizing personnel and keeping the original cultivation methods, with only two mu of experimental fields being changed.

Moreover, the cultivation in the experimental fields was based on fully understanding the experiences of those below before he summarized and concluded.

Every step was taken with extreme caution, which gradually gave Han Qinhu more confidence.

By the time the harvest season arrived, Han Qinhu felt a sense of inevitability.

In fact, he wasn't the only one with this thought;

all the villagers of Great Bay Village felt the same.

Many had initially been resistant to Shen Changchuan's reforms due to their conservative nature. They only complied with the organizational changes because he was an immortal master, and his orders could not be disobeyed.

But in these recent days, the changes in Great Bay Village were evident for all to see.

Everyone had their own gauge for whether the reforms were good or bad.

And now, all twelve mu of spirit grain had seen increased yields.

Shen Changchuan's prestige thus reached its peak throughout the village.

No one harbored any further dissent!

Otherwise, why would they say he was an immortal master at such a young age? His actions naturally had their reasons.

When Han Qinhu accompanied Shen Changchuan to the spirit fields, the villagers working nearby all cast looks of admiration his way.

"That's good."

Seeing that his reforms had truly been effective, Shen Changchuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, after the harvest, we'll collect the problems encountered by the people below in cultivating the spirit fields, as well as the reasons and techniques for improving spirit grain yields."

"We'll see which team, among teams eleven and twelve responsible for the experimental fields, achieved the highest spirit grain yield. We'll use their cultivation manual as the baseline, further absorb and improve upon other methods, and by next year, we'll promote this model to everyone."

After pondering for a moment, Shen Changchuan spoke.

Although he was not a spirit planter, nor did he understand spirit grain cultivation, and his understanding of this world was still based on the miscellaneous books he had read in the Shen Family Manor, fortunately, he possessed the experience of the industrial civilization from another world and had received a certain level of education.

Shen Changchuan's methods for improving spirit grain cultivation

were essentially the inductive and deductive methods used in physics, chemistry, and mathematics.

Gathering data, organizing and classifying it, observing commonalities, summarizing, and verifying conclusions.

These methods might seem simple, but they were the crystallization of wisdom from the industrial civilization of his previous life.

In fact, this was not the first time Shen Changchuan had benefited from the residual wisdom of his previous life.

The many perfected spells on his status panel were also a result of the knowledge and education system from his past life.

Shen Changchuan's talent for spell cultivation was far from top-tier.

Although the transmigration Shen Changchuan's soul was stronger than others due to the fusion of two souls, at most, he could only rely on this soul advantage for better memory.

When it came to comprehending spells, he actually didn't have much of an advantage.

Compared to those true geniuses from legends who understood things at a glance and mastered them instantly, Shen Changchuan's gap was immense.

But then why could he master so many Mastery Level Spells?

The first reason was the panel, which allowed him to see his cultivation progress.

The second reason was his learning methods from his previous life.

For example, the tactic of practicing countless problems, or the research method of posing questions, forming hypotheses, summarizing, and drawing conclusions.

The knowledge and experience from his past life, while they couldn't allow Shen Changchuan to reach the summit in one leap, were like a compass in a fog, able to point him in the right direction, allowing him to ascend step by step.

"Right, since the spirit grain yield has increased, once the spirit fields are harvested, let's take one-tenth of the increased yield from the ten mu of spirit fields and hold a banquet."

Shen Changchuan withdrew his wandering thoughts and spoke.

One-tenth of the increased yield wasn't much when distributed among two thousand people.

However, mixed with ordinary polished rice, it was enough to cook a large pot of spirit rice porridge.

Appropriate rewards, could further stimulate the initiative of those below.

And the facts bore this out.

The reason those ten mu of spirit fields had a 10% increase in yield was precisely because of the incentive plan for the eleventh and twelfth teams, which made people in other teams also start thinking and carefully tending to the fields during this period.

Han Qinhu didn't hide such good news either, and directly announced it to everyone on the spot.

This caused cheers like a tidal wave to erupt from all around.

Some of the older villagers were even moved to tears.

They had come to Great Bay Village with the idea of embarking on the path to immortality and had worked for over a decade, yet they had never had the chance to taste spirit rice.

Master Shen is truly good!

Not only does he know how to increase the spirit grain yield, but he is also generous.

So when Han Qinhu casually mentioned seeking methods and techniques for cultivating spirit grain, almost everyone in Great Bay Village eagerly participated.

Seeing this scene, Shen Changchuan was in a good mood.

Great Bay Village was being managed by him with great success; its future was incredibly bright!

With his good mood, Shen Changchuan returned to the courtyard halfway up the mountain, preparing to properly research the Azure Wood Sword Light recorded on the tattered page from the storage bags of the Four Fiends of Heshan.

After all, he had spent considerable effort on it over the past two months.

His progress on the Water Dragon Technique, which he had spent roughly the same amount of time researching, had reached 45%.

But the Azure Wood Sword Light was only at 1%!

It could barely be considered usable, not even having reached the introductory level!

The difference was enormous!

This was the first time Shen Changchuan had encountered such a situation.

Since the harvesting of the spirit grain seemed to no longer require his attention, he naturally planned to focus on figuring out this peculiar tattered page about the Azure Wood Sword Light.

However, before Shen Changchuan could figure it out, Han Qinhu suddenly rushed over in a hurry and found him.

He brought him important news he had just received from below.

"What? There are traces of Yao Beasts appearing recently?!"

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

The day for harvesting the spirit grain had arrived.

The weather was also very cooperative, with clear skies and crisp air.

The gentle breeze was mild and pleasant.

Above, the sky was clear, and the weather was exceptionally good.

Once the spirit fields showed signs of the spirit grain reaching full maturity, it would be ready for direct harvest.

But at this moment, Shen Changchuan stood on a high vantage point beside the spirit fields, hands behind his back, gazing up at the high sky above, a flicker of worry crossing his eyes.
