Artifact Refining Skill: Initiation! (Wishing Everyone a Peaceful Dragon Boat Festival!)

Late at night, Xu Changqing returned to the stone house.

Before they parted, Yu Caiqing said that once she had dealt with matters at the Alchemy Tower, she would come find him at the Spirit Fields.

She did not specify when.

Nor did she say what she wanted.

Xu Changqing was somewhat surprised, but he did not ask further.

He remained in the study, reading books on runes.

Although he could use his Spiritual Sense to imprint all the information within as memories,

he still had to personally comprehend their specific meanings and implications.

In the blink of an eye, the day for the spirit plants to mature arrived.

Before him stood golden Mutated Spirit Rice. Aside from the Mutated Mother Rice, whose size had not changed much, every stalk of Mutated Child Rice had grown two meters tall.

The fairly abundant sunlight, coupled with the Seedling Pulling effect of the Green Lotus Domain,

made them appear even more robust than when they had been on Stone Mountain.

They gleamed with golden light.

Their fragrance assailed the nostrils.

Each stalk of Mutated Child Rice bore six heavy ears of grain.

The batch planted around the Mutated Mother Rice had as many as twelve each.

This was because the mother rice, after undergoing two mutations, possessed a special effect.

It was called "Double Yield."

Any Spirit Rice planted within two zhang of it would see its yield increase, specifically in the number of grain ears.

One mu of Grade-Two Spirit Field could grow a total of 1,081 stalks of Mutated Spirit Rice, including the Mutated Mother Rice.
