Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 919: Chapter 46: Absolute Confidence

Two years later, upon reentering the Spiritual Fruit Garden of the Huake Institute, it was an entirely different scene.

Xiao Xian still remembered that the last time she visited the Spiritual Fruit Garden, the outskirts were filled with various fruit trees loaded with fruit. Now, while the trees still stood, the fruits were nowhere to be seen.

As she walked further toward the center of the Spiritual Fruit Garden, the Medicine Field, due to lack of management, had nearly fallen into ruin.

Seeing such a situation, even the usually carefree Yiyi couldn’t help but feel emotional.

"What you need to do is choose a piece of land in the garden, any piece will do. You may have realized by now that the Spiritual Power in every piece of land here is not what it used to be, so there’s no need to discuss which piece to choose. My request is that within three days, you cultivate the batch of seeds I’m providing."

During the most difficult two years at the Huake Institute North Campus, Wang Shuai’s role had transitioned from an ordinary Advanced Student to someone who was both a teacher and a student.

The paralysis of robots and the central computer forced a human-taught method, never before used at the North Campus, to be reintroduced.

"Ginseng? Wang Shuai, you’re not making things difficult on purpose, are you? You clearly know that the growth cycle of ginseng is the longest among all herbs. In three days, and in land lacking Spiritual Power, not to mention growing ginseng, even sprouting is very problematic," Xu Lan Ya retorted, regarding Wang Shuai’s planting task as blatant harassment.

"A lot can be done in three days, and I haven’t set any other conditions. The Spiritual Power in the Spirit Field is damaged, and as different cultivators, you can certainly employ corresponding methods for improvement. As for what methods you use, or if you add anything to the Spirit Field, the school won’t interfere afterward. My only requirement is to plant this batch of ginseng seeds and determine the winner based on the germination rate. Any other questions?" Wang Shuai’s words prompted both Xiao Xian and Xu Lan Ya to fall into brief contemplation.

Nominally, because of her disappearance and having no family member to help with her withdrawal paperwork, Xiao Xian was still a student of the Huake Institute, and her strength was evenly matched with Xu Lan Ya’s.

Using planting as a means for the final showdown was the most reasonable method.

"No problem," Xu Lan Ya feigned generosity as she accepted the ginseng seeds.

Xiao Xian took another portion of the ginseng seeds.

"For fairness, no one can assist them in this planting task. During the competition, you are also not allowed to leave the Huake Institute without permission. Anyone who leaves without permission will be considered in violation. The competition starts today at noon and ends in three days at noon. I will come to the Spiritual Fruit Garden to calculate the germination rate and determine the final result," Wang Shuai said, leaving Xiao Xian and Xu Lan Ya at the site.

The two did not acknowledge each other; any indiscreet private competitions before the selection would only deplete their strength.

Xiao Xian chose a north-facing, shady piece of land and evenly spread the bag of ginseng seeds distributed by Wang Shuai into the soil.

During this period, Xiao Xian did not use any auxiliary measures.

Meanwhile, Xu Lan Ya mysteriously found the most secluded Spirit Field hidden under rows of fruit trees in the Spiritual Fruit Garden.

"Hmph, there’s no way Zhu Xiaoxian and Wang Shuai’s group expected that I actually have something to restore Spiritual Power to the Spirit Field," Xu Lan Ya took out several fully cut rhinestones.

About two or three days ago, she suddenly received a personal call from Lady Serlin of the Roster Group in the United States.

Lady Serlin made her request, hoping that Xu Lan Ya could cooperate with Aisha after entering the selection process. In return, she sent a generous gift the following day.

Inside were dozens of perfectly cut rhinestones. These rhinestones contained incredibly pure Spiritual Power, allowing Xu Lan Ya to smoothly break through to Gold Grade in just one day.

Even though she didn’t understand why Zhu Xiaoxian also had such improbable luck to break through to Gold Grade, Xu Lan Ya was tenaciously confident that with the help of the rhinestones, she would win this planting competition.

"Before I go to the Cangqiong Palace, I’ll definitely find a way to kill that damned girl. And Yezi, hmph, once I complete the trial and become superior, there will be no need to worry that he won’t be completely devoted to me," Xu Lan Ya thought as she buried several rhinestones around the ginseng field.

The rhinestones’ Spiritual Power was indeed formidable. After one night, the area around the Spirit Field where the rhinestones were buried had trees full of lush branches and leaves, and fruits hanging abundantly.
