Chapter 25: Ferital Soils

Two silhouettes easily maneuver their way out of a beautiful Chinese-style mansion they landed further away from the village on the outskirts where the Naxvar farms are located a figure wearing a purple robe ran to the middle of the so-called field with Cheng Chin and took out a medium-grade spirit stone.

Cheng Chin dug out a deep hole into the soil the figure covered from head to toe in purple got onto her knees under the rising moon, her hands glowed eerily. Blue essence filled the grayish spirit stone, sweat pour down the young girl's face feeling the strength leave her body.

She placed the grayish stone into the rough ground then Cheng Chin place a lower grade spirit stone on top of it, she proceed to bury the stones "God of the harvest moon I know I have missed my chance to ask for your blessing for this land fertility so this devout worshipper requests to help me restore this land" a light blue beamed shot out of her body and into the moon.

Turning the white waning moonlight brown for a brief moment a smaller beam of dirt brown energy shot down towards the young princess striking the dead center of her forehead. Brown-colored electric currents filled her veins before gradually making their way to her moon essence core.

Relying on instinct she pressed her palm to the dug-up earth and input the harvest moon essence mixed with her own into the soil, the young princess collapsed from overuse of her moon essence.

Cheng Chin picked up her young lady and brought her back home placing her in bed, the princess slept soundly through the night with Cheng Chin watching her from the corners of her room.

Opening my eyes I felt like I was hit by a truck kun, supporting myself up on my hands my vision blurred "Cheng Chin bring me some water" I asked dryly as the desert in my mouth seemed to have worsened, a few minutes later Cheng's chin helped me sit up straight and poured the water into my mouth.

Cheng Chin left my room again returning with essence sticks she lit them, they worked their medical properties after an hour of inhaling the sweet intoxicating scent my body slowly regained its strength allowing me to walk out of bed on my own.

"I need to stop overusing my essence or I might lose another eye" murmuring under my breath Cheng Chin place a large cauldron in the middle of my room; my eyes widen in shock "Cheng Chin when did we receive this?" asking quickly Cheng Chin replied with a deepen bow "My lady we receive the cauldron this morning" she replied smoothly.

"Cheng Chin fill up the cauldron half full and bring me my herbs!" I exclaimed giddily, Cheng Chin's lips quirked up before leaving my room to do what I requested of her; half an hour later my room is filled with twenty large baskets of herbs of all different varieties.

Cheng Chin looks at me with curiosity "Bear roots, the blood of flightless magical beast, and lastly the skin of a cultivator" putting in all of the ingredients except the last one I looked over to Cheng Chin who took out a dagger and cut off her forearm skin and handed it over to me.

"With the skin of a cultivator, this potion will become complete with a hint of the divine moon essence" placing the skin into the cauldron blue moon essence poured into the cauldron mixing up the ingredients, till only twenty bottles appear at the bottom of the cauldron.

A deep sense of pride filled my chest "I didn't think it would be a success" I murmured, Cheng Chin raised her eyebrow at me. Her arm has already healed over leaving a scab behind "Cheng Chin you can take one potion" I stated; Cheng Chin practically started to beam with excitement about the potion.

"Take it right here and now I wanna see what effect it will take. From the smell of them, they should work" Cheng Chin gulf down the whole potion in one go her body gradually turned red and her face squinched up like she had just eaten some sour candy.

This lasted for thirty minutes beads of seat trickled down her forehead and a black substance pushed itself out of her pours making her skin look flawless than before she looked over at with sparkles in her void-like eyes, "my lady I feel like I can break through to the next realm" Cheng Chin spoke ecstatically she practically is hovering off the ground.

"You are dismissed so you can break through the next realm don't come out unless you have broken through you hear me?" my orders sounded sharp and demanding but Cheng Chin didn't show any emotions that would indicate it made her displeased.

She happily skipped out of my room not long after Lai Shufen enter my room "My lady the farmers of Naxvar wishes to speak with you" startled at his sudden entrance I nearly fell over "why are you doing a eunuch job and not protecting the mansion right now?" completely ignoring on what he said I stride my way towards him with a distinct frown.

He stepped back "I am on my break my lady and I heard a eunuch talking about this whether or not to tell you. I offer to tell you about them" Lai Shufen replied steadily. "Lai Shufen tell that eunuch to bring those farmers to the drawing-room. Hopefully, the maids have it clean already" Lai Shufen turn around without another word, I waited a bit before leaving my room to head to the drawing-room.

Upon entering the drawing-room two individuals wearing plain brown tunics and bamboo hats "The farming lands that we have become fertile overnight what do you suggest for us to plant in the field?" one of them asked eagerly suspecting that the gods have sent the heavens blessing on their lands because of their new landlord.

Taking a moment to gather on her food knowledge place her index finger on her chin in thought "Turnips, broccoli, rapini, Brussels sprouts, cabbages, kohlrabi" she named a bunch of different vegetables from off of her head that can be grown during fall and winter.

"I'll get one of my servants to get you seeds for the vegetables I have named off but please mark where you put the vegetables since some of them will be ready in 20 days or 90 days" Explaining carefully the two farmers showed their graduated by offering some cheap jewelry.

Sir Lai Shufen took the hair ornament for me to be careful since getting poison is highly common by items that royalties and nobles have touched in the past. I walked them to the entrance and bid them goodbye, Lai Shufen ran off some time ago to go and get the hairpin sterilized and clean.

A maid that wasn't much older than me came up to me hesitantly "m-my lady your lunch is ready" her voice shook as she spoke, and noticed her lips were quivering. 'What did I ever do to make this girl so scared of me?' with this thought in mind I didn't notice the coldness of the leftover food that I was eating.

Mindlessly I walked back into my bedroom and started to fill up my cauldron again with a frown forming on my facial features; I took out some herbs that I kept in my storage ring to make a different kind of potion and I took out a small bone and place it in the large cauldron.

"Four season leaf clover, rabbit foot bone, peppermint leaf, golden pedals of luck. All of these ingredients together shall abide thy poem" I input my moon essence and closed my eye shut thinking about how I will get my desired outcome.

"The god of luck won't thee take pity on lowly mortals? Cast your golden glow to anyone who guzzles this substance?"

Unexpencatly I felt more of my essence quickly drain out of my body, snapping my eyes open I looked at the water and ingredients inside the cauldron they have turned into a slime substance that tries to eagerly get out of the pot.

Boom!
