Chapter 21: The Yunzhou World Opens, Website Established
A Wu ended up buying these two extra spirit herbs.
He’s the Senior Disciple Brother, and the junior disciples have just joined. How could he not dote on them a little?
After A Wu finished buying the spirit herb seedlings needed by the sect, he took Zhou Xiao and the other two around.
The few of them had good memories and noted down some key terrain features.
Wang’an County wasn’t large; one street ran all the way through, with many mortal residences on both sides, interspersed with places selling cultivator magic treasures.
Unfortunately, they could only glance at that place. Anything inside could make the current Longevity Sect go bankrupt – they didn’t even have the qualification to go bankrupt anymore.
Bankrupt!
The three of them had a rough idea.
When they returned to the sect, many players had already logged off, with only a dozen or so still online.
It was easy to understand why those had logged off – they had to go to work!
Han Tian noticed that one person hadn’t logged in yet.
That was the female player Mu Qiu, whose talent was second only to Chen Miaomiao and Jiang Ya.
He asked Zhou Xiao about it.
Zhou Xiao was also a bit puzzled: “I don’t know her. She booked through a different game group at the time and was usually very low-key, not chatting much. Maybe something delayed her.”
If they were willing to join their group, they definitely weren’t unwilling to play this game.
Han Tian didn’t ask any more questions.
They were going to the fertile soil now.
The newly cultivated spiritual fields weren’t tilled like in traditional methods; instead, they were fertilized.
Fertilizer and water were sprinkled in first, allowing the spiritual field to completely transform into an environment suitable for spirit herb seedlings.
Then, they could start planting spirit herb seedlings.
One mu of land could only grow a few dozen plants, which was incredibly few, but that was because the root systems of spirit herbs occupied a large area. The better the root system of a seedling grew, the higher the probability of producing high-grade spirit herbs.
After planting, any issues with the spirit herb seedlings could only be observed using spiritual energy, but in most cases, they didn’t require much care.
Sometimes, if a spirit herb seedling appeared wilted, its position could be adjusted slightly.
Whether it would live seemed to depend on Heaven’s Will.
Moreover, the cycle was very short, requiring only one month to quickly cultivate a batch.
When the three of them arrived, Chen Miaomiao had already finished observing the spiritual field A Wu had planted. Zhou Xiao quickly went up to her and asked, “How is it, Big Shot?”
Chen Miaomiao shook her head: “It’s hard to tell any problems just by looking. I’ve looked at mature spirit herbs, and there are no issues. I want to use one mu of land as an experimental field.”
Zhou Xiao said, “Okay, no problem. If you need more experimental fields, tell me, and I’ll give you one mu of mine.”
Han Tian was calculating with Jiang Ya: “Indeed, just relying on growing spirit herbs doesn’t have much profit potential. Although ten seedlings only sell for one low-grade spirit stone, there’s still a survival rate. Senior Disciple Brother said that when he grows them, it’s about fifty-fifty. He makes a little each time, but not much.”
“One person’s energy isn’t enough to manage many.”
Chen Miaomiao also added: “According to him, seedlings are cultivated from mature spirit herbs, and only a section of the root system needs to be removed. However, sometimes not only does the spirit herb die, but the root system also doesn’t survive. There are methods for cultivation, so he directly buys spirit herb seedlings from others. I guess people from the Medicine Sect must have a way to guarantee the survival rate of these seedlings.”
They could guarantee it but wouldn’t reveal the method.
This is how powerful sects monopolize methods.
【Ding: Novice Mission activated. 】
【 Players can claim two mu of land for sect tasks. Each month, there will be a ranking task for the number of spirit herbs in the fields. Points obtained from ranking can be exchanged with the System for video recording permission. 】
【 In addition to the two mu of land, players can use points to rent more land from the Sect Master to cultivate spiritual medicine. After growth, players will own seventy percent of the results, with only thirty percent paid to the sect. 】
【 Please note that if you choose to trade your own property with outsiders, no taxes will be generated, and players will not receive any game points. If you choose to use thirty percent of the transaction amount as tax, players can receive a certain number of points. 】
【 Points are used to unlock all permissions connected to reality, and to exchange for rare items from the Sect Master. 】
As soon as this message appeared, it startled the online players.
“Holy crap, we can record videos now?”
“Does that mean we can even live broadcast this game in the future?”
“That would be awesome! If we can live broadcast, everyone will know how amazing this game I’m playing is!”
Han Tian narrowed his eyes: “Ranking tasks…”
Zhou Xiao’s eyes darted around: “As expected, no game can escape rankings, but Big Shot Han, you must want that recording permission, right?”
Han Tian nodded: “I want to make game review videos. This recording permission must be activated.”
Right now, they players didn’t even have the right to take screenshots or record. Any review would be empty talk.
Without evidence, others wouldn’t believe how amazing the game they were playing was.
It wasn’t that Song Jiulai was unwilling to give it.
It was just that even the cleverest cook can’t make a meal without ingredients!
“Any channel connected to reality consumes a huge amount of energy. Even recording a video to send out now is difficult, let alone live broadcasting.”
The System also complained: “At least there are people now.”
The System’s energy calculation method is very complex, and it’s mainly contributed by the players. The stronger the players, the more resources the sect has, and the more energy it can obtain.
And only through Song Jiulai can the System unlock more permissions.
If she herself became stronger, it would also enhance the System’s energy, but one person could never match the replenishment of a group.
Energy is something that can be seen but not touched. The points contributed by players are actually energy carriers. By the time they can cultivate their spiritual fields well, they will have basically touched the threshold, and won’t be far from the Mid Qi Condensation Stage.
The main reason is that the spiritual energy in this place is too scarce.
No sooner said than done, Han Tian also thought of something and logged off to mention it in the group.
Jing Baotian: “I’m applying to the System website to create a strategy forum. We can post strategies there when we have them.”
This game definitely has more than just growing spirit herbs as a gameplay style; some players will surely discover different tactics.
“1111”
“Good, good, good, support Big Shot.”
“Wuwuwu, I really want to play. I’m at work now but my mind is elsewhere. My whole day is filled with thoughts of cultivation.”
“What a sin. Why do people have to work?”
Han Tian turned off his computer and applied to the System to create a strategy forum.
However, the System did not approve it.
He frowned, not knowing why, but considering how mysterious the game merchant was, he didn’t dwell on it and simply created a strategy website himself.

Opening Entry: Complete Background Story…
He first briefly wrote a background division and, from memory, used AI images to depict a map from Wang’an County to the Longevity Sect.
He even marked every NPC （ he could remember on the map ）, including what they sold.
He also left messages for Zhou Xiao, Jiang Ya, Chen Miaomiao, and others, stating that they could add anything that was missing.
And this would later shock the entire world.
The Beginning of the Yunzhou World.
