As Liu Wei talked with the Pill Furnace, the latter simply responded with a light hum, bringing delight to him.
He talked with it a lot for half an hour before finally deciding to detach himself from it.
After ending his conversation with the Pill Furnace, he swept his gaze to the room.
The room was simple.
It was only on the basic level, after all.
The room only has three human sized cabinets scattered in the room, with the pill furnace at the center.
That was it.
Thankfully, each drawer has texts in it.
"Low-Grade Spirit Ginseng.
10 year old Ginseng Root.
Turmeric Powder.
Bamboo Salt…"
Liu Wei mumbled each pill ingredient contained in different drawers.
He was familiar with all of them.
He smiled brightly. "I really memorized all the Pill ingredients as well as their process according to the books in the alchemy section. Although they were all only in the Mortal Grade, it should be enough for me to refine a pill.
Damn it. I can't wait to refine one!"
Liu Wei then turned around and proceeded to the door, determined to focus on cultivating to reach the peak of the Qi Condensation Stage.
Halfway, the System's voice echoed in his head.
[I will be informing the host that the ingredients in the drawer are refillable everyday.]
Liu Wei paused on his tracks.
He scratched the back of his head and said, "So, did I waste my System Points on opening the Agricultural Domain, then."
The System's voice mixed with a mockery tone echoed in his head.
[How stupid can you be? You're so narrow minded. You really believed that the Agricultural Domain only contained the ingredients on the alchemy? Fruits, to be exact, can be eaten directly and have the same efficiency as Mortal Grade Pill or more.
Vegetables? You can then cook it and eat it with the same efficiency as pills.
That's why you must stop simply reading books and live in reality.
Go touch some grass.]
Liu Wei's mind turned blank.
He did not expect the System to mock him.
He sighed.
I guess, her crash out is valid.
He shook his head and continued towards the door.
He said, "You're right. Of course, I have not forgotten about not wanting to eat aside bread and tea. I was simply thinking about alchemy, that's it."
[I'm not surprised.]
Liu Wei smiled.
As he left the door and closed it, grabbed the first door knob, he suddenly tilted his head.
He asked the System, "Why did you not include meat? Is cultivating livestock not included in the Agricultural Domain? Or is it included in the Beast Breeding Grounds?"
Suddenly, the System sighed, shocking Liu Wei.
Did I just hear her sigh, as though she is too tired to answer my inquiry?
His wonder did not last long as the System's voice echoed in his mind again.
[Beast Breeding Ground is simply about raising different kinds of beasts to tame them and be useful, especially in combat.
Mixing livestock there might affect their mental state, potentially declining their supposed loyalty towards you.
In other words, breeding livestock is included in the Agricultural Domain, but it is only unlocked in the Intermediate level.
It is called Spirit Livestock Pasture, which is a sub-area inside the Agricultural Domain.]
Liu Wei nodded, keeping it in his mind.
Although it was unfortunate he would not be able to eat meat again, as it has been for the last six months, he was still able to restrain his cravings.
After all, he did not have money, so it was not that he did not want to, but he could not.
He sighed as he twisted the door knob, opening the room.
He was in awe of what was inside.
The Alchemy Domain was really like a room, with a ceiling that seemed neverending.
The Agricultural Domain, on the other hand, has a clear blue sky, a sunlight coming from a Sun that seemed unreal, a one acre of plots, a well, a water wheel, and a small farmer's shed.
It really seemed like another world, bringing a smile to Liu Wei.
He exclaimed, "What a wonderful place. The breeze is even natural and the air seems fresher compared to the outside world.
System, can you provide all the information inside the Agricultural Domain?"
The system sighed once again before echoing her voice in Liu Wei's mind.
Liu Wei smiled bitterly as he listened.
[The basic level Agricultural Domain layout has a Clear Blue Sky, which simulates ideal sunny weather, for a stable spiritual climate.
A Sunlight Essence, which is slightly infused with weak yang qi to boost plant growth.
A Seasonal Illusion Array, which you can manually shift between mild spring, summer, autumn, or winter conditions for crop rotation.
Of course, you can leave it to the system as it will follow your condition in changing the season.
Then, there is a one acre of plots, divided into 6–8 smaller sections for different crops.
A Formation-Enhanced Soil, containing self-renewing nutrients, pest-repelling qi, and moisture retention layer at the basic level.
An Irrigation Channels—small water ditches connecting to a central well.
A Spirit Well, which provides clean water with faint qi for irrigation and washing produce.
A Manual Water Wheel, powered by a simple array to lift water from the wall to channels.]
The System paused.
Liu Wei tilted his head sideways, a bit confused.
Then he heard her exhaling, as though she was tired to continue.
He was about to say something when the system continued.
[A Farmer's Shed, for tools, seeds, fertilizer, and harvested crops.
A Drying Rack Area, where you can sun dry the herbs, grains, and vegetables.
A Simple Storage Cellar, which keeps harvested goods fresh longer.
Then, there are Minor Support Formations.
A Growth Acceleration Array, which speeds up the growth by 10–20% compared to the outside world.
A Weed Suppression Formation, which prevents unwanted plants from overtaking crops.
A Pest Repulsion Barrier, which keeps basic insects away without harming plants.
Lastly are the Environment Enhancements.
There is a Windbreak Hedge, which is a row of low shrubs around the perimeter to reduce wind damage.
A Small Flower Patch, which attracts benign spirit butterflies for pollination.]
The moment the System finished explaining all the features of the Agricultural Domain, she immediately went silent.
Liu Wei was sensitive.
Knowing he would be ignored even if he asked the System once again, he wisely tested out the Agricultural Domain while humming in delight.
However, he rejoiced too much that he closed his eyes and tripped on a protruding stone.
He fell to the grass.
Suddenly, the System's voice echoed in his mind again… of course, with a hint of mockery.
[You finally touch some grass.
But next time, go touch some real grass.]
