Han Fei's face turned purple. I can cheat in reciting books but how can I cheat in digging?
Of course, 'digging the ground' wasn't its literal meaning. Han Fei needed to weed the thousands of acres of land in the plantation first, which was a ponderous job. Although he was a cultivator, it still took him three days to do this job and another three days to turn the soil for arable land.
Seven days later.
Han Fei asked, "Grandpa, so I should start tilling the land now?"
The old man replied, "No, it's not time yet. Since you've learned the Encyclopedia of Spiritual Plants by heart, trim all the spiritual plants in the plantation first.
"What?"
Han Fei almost cried. "Grandpa, you can't bully me like this! Will trimming the spiritual plants help my cultivation?"
The old man smiled. "Sure. You need to feel the natural beauty of spiritual plants intuitively so that you'll have a good mood for tilling the land."
Han Fei, "Uhhhh"
