Chapter 2 - Golden Finger

After finishing his dry rations and drinking a few sips of water, Luo feng didn't dare to rest for too long.

He immediately got up and started working again. If he didn't hurry, he might not finish by nightfall.

As dusk approached, with only a few rays of sunlight left, Luo feng dragged his exhausted body back to his small wooden house.

Dinner was again a few pieces of dry rations, which Luo feng forced himself to eat with water.

The life of a low-level cultivator was this difficult. If he had a choice, he would also want to eat spirit rice, but even the cheapest spirit rice cost three Spirit Stones per catty.

With Luo feng's current financial situation, he couldn't afford it at all. As for mortal food, although it was cheap, cultivators generally wouldn't choose mortal food.

Eating too much was not beneficial for Cultivation.

Although the benefits of these dry rations for Cultivation were minimal, they would not hinder Cultivation.

Therefore, it became the choice for most low-level cultivators.

Luo feng drank a few more sips of water before feeling much better. The dry rations were really too hard and difficult to eat.

He secretly thought, "When I have Spirit Stones in the future, I will definitely not eat this kind of thing again."

Luo feng sat on a chair to recover his energy slightly, then stood up, took out a Talisman from under his mattress, and slapped it on himself. He immediately felt refreshed, and all the dirt on his body was removed. He looked down and saw that the handyman clothes he was wearing had also become brand new.

Even this simplest Cleansing Talisman had such an effect; it was indeed worthy of being an Immortal Realm method.

This Cleansing Talisman was drawn by the original owner. Luo feng counted and found that there were still over thirty left, which was basically enough for his daily use.

It was a pity that the original owner only knew how to draw this one type of Talisman; otherwise, he could have earned a lot of money with his Talisman drawing skills.

Luo feng sat cross-legged on the bed and began his daily Cultivation. In his mind appeared the Cultivation Technique of the original owner, the Profound Water Art, a very common water-attribute Cultivation Technique.

It was very suitable for Cultivating a water-attribute Spiritual Root. Perhaps due to muscle memory, he quickly entered a Cultivation state.

Half an hour later, Luo feng completed a cycle, but the increase in his magical power was pitifully small. At this rate, who knew when he would be able to breakthrough to Qi Refining Stage Three.

No wonder the original owner had only reached Qi Refining Stage Two after Cultivating for so long; the difficulty was even greater than Luo feng had imagined.

Previously, he had been busy adapting to the original owner's memories and had never Cultivated. Only today did he officially start Cultivating, and he immediately felt the difficulty of Cultivating with Low Grade Aptitude.

Luo feng closed his eyes and performed introspection. A teardrop-shaped gem appeared in his mind.

Luo feng gently tapped it with his consciousness and immediately entered a state of epiphany. He dared not delay and immediately began to recall the contents of the Profound Water Art.

Suddenly, the parts he hadn't understood before seemed to unravel all at once. So that's how it was.

Luo feng's understanding of the Profound Water Art deepened continuously. Half an hour later, he opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face.

"The effect of this epiphany is even better than I imagined. It's a pity I can only have an epiphany once a day. If it were unlimited, that would be great."

He felt that after this epiphany, his understanding of the Profound Water Art had surpassed that of the original owner. If he Cultivated again, his efficiency should increase by about twenty percent.

This tear-shaped gem was originally an ornament Luo feng bought in his previous life. It looked quite beautiful, so he always kept it with him. He just didn't expect it to Transmigration with him.

It seemed his Transmigration was inextricably linked to this gem.

However, it was precisely with the help of this gem that Luo feng was able to quickly digest the original owner's memories and master his planting skills.

Otherwise, he would have been exposed on the very first day. One must know that there were instances of possession in the Cultivation World, and if discovered, his fate would likely be dire.

"Since you have the ability to help me have an epiphany, I'll call you the enlightenment pearl from now on," Luo feng muttered to himself, sitting on the bed.

It was precisely because he had the enlightenment pearl that Luo feng had the confidence to survive in this treacherous Cultivation World.

After recovering his spirits slightly, Luo feng began Cultivating the Profound Water Art again.

Unbeknownst to him, another night passed. Luo feng, who had Cultivated all night, instead felt refreshed and energetic.

He looked at the sky; it was just a faint dawn. Luo feng decided to get up and get something to eat. He hadn't eaten anything yesterday morning and felt weak while working.

This small wooden house was about 80 square meters in total, with one bedroom, one kitchen, one utility room, and one bathroom.

Luo feng walked into the kitchen, formed hand seals, and a small flame immediately appeared in his right hand. Luo feng quickly started the fire.

Then he scooped a ladle of water containing Spiritual Qi into the pot. After the water was almost boiling, he threw in a few pieces of the dry rations from yesterday.

In less than half an hour, a porridge-like dish was ready. Luo feng tasted a bit with a spoon and found the taste much better than eating it directly.

He immediately filled a bowl and slowly began to eat.

After eating, he tidied up a bit, and Luo feng began his day's labor. About half an hour later, Li Hu also started working.

After greeting each other, the two went about their respective tasks.

For three consecutive days, Luo feng lived such a fulfilling life, and time passed quickly. Now, his understanding of the Profound Water Art was almost at the proficient level.

At that point, his Cultivation speed would increase significantly, and Qi Refining Stage Three would be within reach.

Based on the degree of mastery of a Cultivation Technique, it can be broadly divided into five level: Beginner, Proficient, Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, and Perfection. Previously, the original owner's mastery of the Profound Water Art was only at the Beginner level.

This was also the level of mastery for most Loose Cultivators regarding Cultivation Techniques. Without guidance, they could only rely on their own exploration, and it was considered good if they didn't make mistakes in Cultivation.

It is said that a Cultivation Technique at the Perfection level might have special effects, but this is just a rumor. Luo feng had never even seen someone with Minor Achievement in a Cultivation Technique, let alone Perfection.

Perhaps such Geniuses only existed in large sects like the Ghost Control Sect.

In the morning, the sun had just risen halfway. Li Hu and Luo feng were tending to the Spirit Cleansing Herb in the spirit field. An old man in a green robe walked to the entrance of the spirit field.

"Greetings, Manager Li," both men quickly bowed. This person was Li Hu and Luo feng's direct manager, responsible for overseeing their work and distributing their salaries.

The old man nodded slightly, then wiped his hands over a gray bag, and four Spirit Stones immediately appeared in his hand. He then used magical power to hand them to Li Hu, "Li Hu, these are your Spirit Stones for last month."

"Thank you, Manager Li," Li Hu quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Alright, you go back to your work for now. I have something to discuss with Luo feng," the old man waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Li Hu immediately discreetly withdrew.

"Luo feng, this is your salary," Manager Li took out four more Spirit Stones from the bag and handed them to Luo feng.

Luo feng immediately respectfully accepted them, "Thank you, Manager Li."

Looking at the Spirit Stones in his hand, Luo feng sighed slightly in his heart, "This damned old ghost is embezzling my Spirit Stones again."
