Spiritual Energy: I Just Want To Farm Peacefully - Chapter 2
Chapter 2: Advancement, Star Origin Grass

Lin Yi had the urge to say it out loud when he saw how Zhao Wanting was.
However, he held back. The most important thing for him now was to stay hidden. No matter who he told, such a huge opportunity would increase the risk of being exposed.
He was currently too weak to take any risks.
After dinner, Zhao Wanting left reluctantly.
Lin Yi began to think about cultivation.
There was definitely a problem with the concentration of spiritual energy on the Blue Planet. After being transformed by the wood-element divine crystal, his spiritual root talent was extremely good. If he was in the cultivation world, he would be able to make great progress in one cultivation.
However, on the Blue Planet, after cultivating for an entire afternoon, he had only refined a few wisps of Azure Wood spiritual energy. It was really worlds apart.
Since the concentration of spiritual energy in the air was too low, he had to find a way to gather the spiritual energy
Lin Yi turned to the three-leaf clover. ‘Isn’t this a ready-made solution?’
The Star Origin Grass was equivalent to a natural small-scale Spirit Gathering Array. Moreover, as its quantity increased, the degree and range of gathering spiritual energy would also increase correspondingly.
Was there anything more suitable than this?!
Lin Yi gently tapped his finger on a three-leaf clover. Azure wood spiritual energy seeped out from his finger and entered the delicate three-leaf clover.
The three-leaf clover absorbed the Green Wood spiritual energy and doubled in size in the blink of an eye.
This strange three-leaf clover stood out among the cluster of them.
“There is no problem this time. It’s definitely a three-leaf clover.”
Initially, Lin Yi was still a little uncertain, but seeing the change in the three-leaf clover, he knew that he was not mistaken.
It was probably because the spiritual energy in the air was too scarce that the three-leaf clover, which should have been as thick as an arm, had shrunk to such a size.
With the infusion of Azure Wood’s spiritual energy, the true appearance of the three-leaf clover gradually appeared.
Lin Yi muttered to himself after observing the three-leaf clover’s condition:
“Not enough. Not enough. Not enough spiritual energy.”
He needed spiritual power to restore the three-leaf clover to its normal state, and he also needed spiritual power to upgrade the three-leaf clover to the Star Origin Grass. Compared to this, his daily cultivation gains were obviously insignificant.
But all that could be overcome.
Lin Yi’s gaze was firm. He was already very satisfied that he had hope of survival. No matter how difficult and dangerous the journey was, it was nothing compared to death.
Ten days later, on the edge of a steep cliff, with trees and clouds, a young man in civilian clothes slowly opened his eyes.
His god-like eyes shone.
He whispered to himself, “Finally, enough saved.”
This young man was Lin Yi.
In the past ten days, he had visited all the famous ancient sites and lush vegetation in Baishan City. After many comparisons, he chose this place at a higher altitude as his cultivation ground.
The concentration of spiritual energy here did not disappoint him. It allowed his cultivation efficiency to reach three times that of when he was at Qifeng Mountain.
Today, he had finally accumulated enough spiritual power to advance to a three-leaf clover.
They hurried home without stopping.
When he opened the door, he saw the three-leaf clover in the middle of the courtyard. The clover was as thick as a child’s arm. Even though it only had three leaves, they were dotted with starlight.
From afar, it looked like a starry sky.
“How beautiful,” Lin Yi exclaimed.
For the past ten days, he would inject the azure wood spiritual energy he had refined into this three-leaf clover every day.
The cultivation effect of Azure Wood’s spiritual energy on plants was vividly reflected in the three-leaf clover.
Now, he only needed one last infusion before the three-leaf clover could advance.
Lin Yi was very excited, but he still took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He walked out of the gate. The small courtyard was now surrounded by a ring of barbed wire. The wire was 1.6 meters tall. Up close, he could see that there were a number of iron spikes on each wire. It was a terrifying sight.
Lin Yi turned on the power and powered up the wire making sure there were no loose ends.
The small courtyard was completely surrounded by electrified barbed wire. Then, with his right hand, he picked up the solid steel harpoon that the hardware store had bought.
Lin Yi finally calmed down a little under such protection.
On the third day of his cultivation, he suddenly realized what a spiritual herb meant to this world with scarce spiritual energy.
He did not know if there were other spiritual objects in this world, but he knew that in the cultivation world, every spiritual object was guarded by mutated beasts.
Beasts were far stronger than humans in the field of perception, which allowed them to quickly discover ownerless spiritual objects in the wild.
Lin Yi wasn’t sure if there were any powerful beasts near Qifeng Mountain, but it was better to be careful.
Currently, even though he had started cultivating, all his cultivation was used to cultivate the three-leaf clover. He had no means of attack at all.
It was not that he did not want to break through, but with this bit of spiritual energy, it was difficult to even cultivate a spiritual herb. It was simply a dream to cultivate.
However, with the Star Origin Grass, the situation could be improved.
Lin Yi looked at the three-leaf clover and no longer hesitated. He quickly injected the azure wood spiritual energy that he had accumulated into it.
Halfway through the infusion, the size of the three-leaf clover still increased slightly, but when it grew another two centimeters, this increase slowed down, as if it had reached a bottleneck.
Next was the qualitative change caused by quantity.
Several small holes instantly appeared in the main trunk of the three-leaf clover. Green stems and leaves grew out of them at an extremely fast speed. The leaves at the top also completed the changes from small to large in a very short time.
The three-leaf clover had completely changed shape in just a few seconds.
The lush roots, the starry leaves, and the mist that lingered.
“How beautiful.”
Lin Yi praised the Star Origin Grass in front of him.
Even though he had seen it a few times in his memory, it was still shocking to see it in real life.
Not to mention the effect, just by looking at it, one could tell that it was not a mortal plant.
As the Star Origin Grass successfully advanced, the function of gathering spiritual energy also took effect.
From an ordinary person’s perspective, the spiritual energy within 500 meters slowly gathered towards the Star Origin Grass in the center of the circle.
The spiritual energy moved very quickly. Soon, Lin Yi felt an obvious change.
In an extremely short period of time, the concentration of spiritual energy in the air in the small courtyard had increased by more than three times. Moreover, this increase only showed signs of slowing down slightly.
The convergence of large-scale spiritual energy was not only reflected in the air.
The flowers and plants inside and outside the small courtyard were affected. Under the nourishment of spiritual energy, these plants appeared abnormally lively and delicate.
The remaining three-leaf clovers also grew visibly.
After the change in the spiritual energy in the courtyard completely stabilized, Lin Yi carefully sensed the change in the concentration of spiritual energy.
“Five times! It’s actually five times as much as before!”
Lin Yi’s eyes lit up with joy.
The best cultivation place he had found in the past few days was far from this in terms of spiritual energy concentration.
A Star Origin Grass had really brought about a tremendous change. His efforts over the past few days had not been in vain.
Such a concentration of spiritual energy was already enough to support his initial cultivation.
However, just as Lin Yi was getting excited, there was the sound of heavy footsteps outside the small courtyard.
It was followed by a voice both familiar and foreign.
“Hmph!”
“Oh no, it’s a boar.” Lin Yi realized who the owner of the voice was and blanched.
There had always been a saying in the mountains that one pig, two bears, and three tigers were more harmful to humans than bears and tigers.
Lin Yi was very sure that there were no wild animals above medium size on the mountain he was on. This wild boar had definitely been attracted by the Star Origin Grass from other mountains.
Facing such a ferocious wild animal for the first time, Lin Yi was a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down. After all, he had made some preparations in the small courtyard before infusing his spiritual power.
He picked up the harpoon and hurried up to the second floor.
The second floor offered a clear view of what was happening outside the courtyard.
He saw a huge black-furred boar pacing restlessly outside the electric net.
There was a prominent scar on its pig’s head. The scar was charred and still smoked. The patch of electrical fence that the pig’s head faced also showed signs of damage.
It was clear that the boar had had a preliminary confrontation with the grid he’d set up before Lin Yi came.
The black-furred boar’s four legs did not stop for a moment. Its pig head swayed as it quickly searched for a way to break through the obstacles in front of it. It seemed to be very excited.
Perhaps it couldn’t stand it anymore, or perhaps it couldn’t find any other flaws, but the black-furred boar stopped struggling. It lowered its head and slammed straight into the electric fence that already showed signs of destruction.
Lin Yi stared intently, not missing a single detail.
He didn’t set any more traps. If the grid did break, he’d have to do it himself.
Fortunately, things did not go in the worst direction.
Accompanied by shrill screams and a burnt smell, the black-furred wild boar fell under the electric shock of high voltage.
Its strong physique allowed it to not lose its life instantly even though it was badly mutilated.
However, it did not do anything in vain. The electric net, which had no blind spots, was forced open with brute force.
Fortunately, Lin Yi looked around and realized that other than this wild boar, no other animals had been attracted to this place.
‘Let’s deal with this big guy first. If someone else finds out, it won’t be easy to explain.’
Lin Yi went downstairs and disconnected the power. He walked over to the black-furred boar and gently touched its head with the harpoon.
The black-furred boar’s head moved slightly, and the remaining hair that had not been charred stood up, making a vigilant posture.
Its nerve muscles were weak under the electric shock and could not do anything else.
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes and raised his harpoon. The sharp head of the fork flickered.
As long as he stabbed down hard at its head, the black-furred boar would die on the spot.
But when Lin Yi raised the harpoon to the highest point and was about to insert it, he gently lowered it again.
He had sharp senses and a strong physique. It seemed a waste to kill him like this.
If he could tame it…
Lin Yi looked thoughtfully at the fallen black-furred boar.
Moreover, the effect of the Star Origin Grass was continuous. Sooner or later, other beasts would be attracted over. It would be easier for him if he had the boar’s help.
