Besides the need to use the five elements rule of the Five Leaf Clover, Mo Wuji had a second reason for using it as a carrier to plant Azure Dew Rice.

Mo Wuji was a top biologist on Earth, and he knew the characteristics of wild plants very well. Many wild fruit trees, after being transplanted a few times, not only tasted better, but also grew larger. His method of carrier grafting, in a sense, was also a form of transplanting.

Moreover, ordinary rice is also first grown into seedlings, and then transplanted. Although the planting method of Azure Dew Rice is completely different from ordinary rice, it still has the word "rice" in its name. Who could say it wouldn't work if he first grew seedlings and then grafted them?

Because of its low grade and inability to be refined into divine pills, almost no one collected the Five Leaf Clover. After the Divine Domain's Divine Nest hatched, Mo Wuji collected a pile of Five Leaf Clover.

Mo Wuji's main purpose in collecting Five Leaf Clover was to learn alchemy. In the Immortal World, he was a Pill Emperor, but in the Divine Domain, he couldn't even refine a Level 1 Divine Pill. Divine spirit herbs in the Divine Domain were expensive. If he collected a pile to practice with, Mo Wuji wouldn't have that many divine crystals.

Now, the Five Leaf Clover hadn't been used for learning alchemy yet, and he had already used it to graft Azure Dew Rice.

An Azure Dew Rice grain was half an inch in size, very light in the hand, feeling like a feather in the palm. When divine sense landed on it, it gave a sense of etherealness.

The difference between Azure Dew Rice grain and Azure Dew Rice wasn't in the husk, but in a faint outer layer.

At this moment, Mo Wuji already understood that the outer layer of low-grade Azure Dew Rice grain was light gray. Removing this light gray layer would reveal snow-white Azure Dew Rice. The outer layer of mid-grade Azure Dew Rice grain was silver. Removing the silver layer would also reveal snow-white Azure Dew Rice. The difference was that this snow-white Azure Dew Rice had several faint silver streaks on it.

The outer layer of high-grade Azure Dew Rice grain was light gold. Removing the light gold layer would reveal snow-white Azure Dew Rice with several gold streaks on it. The more gold streaks, the higher the quality of this high-grade Azure Dew Rice.

The outer layer of top-grade Azure Dew Rice grain was true gold. Removing the gold layer would reveal golden Azure Dew Rice.

The Azure Dew Rice grain that Mo Wuji obtained had a light gray outer layer, and the grayness was uneven. It was obviously the lowest of the low-grade Azure Dew Rice grains.

Mo Wuji still carefully planted all these Azure Dew Rice grains. He didn't have good divine spirit spring, but this was his first time planting Azure Dew Rice. According to the jade slip left by Azure Robed Divine King, Mo Wuji used some Billion-Year Immortal Wood Marrow to water these Azure Dew Rice seeds.

Perhaps because of the effect of the Billion-Year Immortal Wood Marrow, Mo Wuji's Azure Dew Rice seedlings grew to half a foot in just half a month. Mo Wuji planted the Five Leaf Clover from his Immortal World on the ground, removed the five leaves, and began to graft the Azure Dew Rice seedlings one by one.

Mo Wuji completed all of these tasks carefully and conscientiously.

All sixty seedlings survived and were successfully grafted by Mo Wuji.

Then, Mo Wuji set up a concealment array outside his plot of land and placed some refined spirit gathering array disks under each seedling.

The usefulness of an array master was fully demonstrated at this moment.

According to Gu Hai, even planting a thousand Azure Dew Rice seedlings in Mo Wuji's plot of land wouldn't be considered dense. Because he had a limited number of seeds, Mo Wuji only planted sixty seedlings.

Half a month passed, and Mo Wuji discovered a problem. His seedlings were indeed growing better than others, but he had used Billion-Year Immortal Wood Marrow to water them. Although Billion-Year Immortal Wood Marrow was said to be a Level 9 Immortal Spirit Herb, it was actually much more precious than Level 9 Immortal Spirit Herbs. If it were placed in the Divine Domain, Billion-Year Immortal Wood Marrow might be a high-grade divine spirit liquid.

At this rate, when he harvested, he would most likely harvest low-grade Azure Dew Rice.

This wasn't what Mo Wuji wanted. Although the Azure Robed Divine Pill King had a way to cultivate top-grade Azure Dew Rice grains, Mo Wuji couldn't afford that cost.

Moreover, the Azure Robed Divine Pill King also pointed out that top-grade Azure Dew Rice grains weren't suitable for Divine Continent. This kind of thing consumed too much energy. Even a Divine Pill King and a Divine King couldn't afford to cultivate top-grade Azure Dew Rice.

Therefore, what he passed on was basically the means to plant mid-grade Azure Dew Rice and to increase the yield of low-grade Azure Dew Rice.

Mo Wuji single-mindedly wanted to cultivate good Azure Dew Rice, and after wasting a lot of effort without any effect, he began to inspect the Azure Dew Rice stalks one by one.

When Mo Wuji held an Azure Dew Rice stalk, clear five elements rules came from within the stalk, and Mo Wuji was ecstatic. This not only allowed him to understand why the Azure Dew Rice wasn't growing as expected, but also allowed him to have a clearer understanding of the five elements rules of the heavens and earth.

He could sense the strength and weakness of the five elements rules of each Azure Dew Rice stalk, and he could also sense which five elements rule attribute was strong and which was lacking in each stalk.

Mo Wuji guessed that this was most likely because he didn't have attribute spirit roots, which allowed him to clearly sense the five elements attributes lacking in the Azure Dew Rice stalks. If a cultivator with spirit roots came and did the same thing as him, they might not be able to sense the five elements attributes lacking in each stalk as clearly as he did.

This gave Mo Wuji a direction, and he transplanted the Azure Dew Rice stalks again.

In just an hour, Mo Wuji scrambled the order of all sixty Azure Dew Rice stalks and replanted them.

This time, Mo Wuji placed the Azure Dew Rice stalks lacking the same five elements attribute in the same area, and then set up an exclusive five elements attribute array in that area.

For example, the Azure Dew Rice stalks lacking the gold element were transplanted together, and then a gold gathering array was set up. The Azure Dew Rice stalks lacking the wood element were also transplanted together, and then a wood gathering array was set up...

Another half month passed, and Mo Wuji saw that his planted Azure Dew Rice was at least twice as lush as others, and this difference was still widening. This was still compared to the Azure Dew Rice in the Grade A land. If it were compared to the Grade B and Grade C land, the difference would be even more like heaven and earth.

After two months, Mo Wuji completely relaxed. During this time, he spent his time cultivating the Azure Dew Rice and occasionally cultivating for a while.

Four months later, when the Azure Dew Rice began to form ears, Mo Wuji's cultivation finally crossed the God Nascent Stage Level 3 and entered the God Nascent Stage Level 4.

After reaching the God Nascent Stage Level 4, Mo Wuji seemed even more ordinary and plain.

Shuai Guo also entered the Level 3 Divine Beast, and Da Huang was already in the late stages of the God Nascent Stage Level 4.

Six months later, Mo Wuji's Plot Number 97 in the Grade D land was filled with a light golden color. Mo Wuji was pleasantly surprised to find that each of his Azure Dew Rice plants had five ears. Each ear was full of heavy, light golden Azure Dew Rice grains. Although there were only sixty Azure Dew Rice plants, they covered the entire plot of land in a light golden hue.

The fragrance of Azure Dew Rice wafted over, and Mo Wuji felt refreshed and clear in his mind just by smelling it.

This shouldn't be sixty Azure Dew Rice plants; it should be three hundred.

With a few days left until the harvest season, Mo Wuji couldn't wait any longer and carefully harvested two Azure Dew Rice plants.

The ten ears on the two Azure Dew Rice plants were full of Azure Dew Rice grains. Even though the Azure Dew Rice grains were as light as a feather, Mo Wuji could feel the heavy weight of the Azure Dew Rice ears.

After harvesting the two Azure Dew Rice plants, Mo Wuji removed the light golden outer layer, revealing rice grains with many light golden streaks. These were clearly all high-grade Azure Dew Rice grains.

This surprised Mo Wuji greatly. He suspected that the reason he hadn't been able to cultivate top-grade Azure Dew Rice was because his seeds were too poor.

Each Azure Dew Rice grain was fragrant and nearly an inch long, making them a joy to hold.

Mo Wuji estimated that these two Azure Dew Rice plants yielded a full five catties of Azure Dew Rice. That is, one Azure Dew Rice plant could yield two and a half catties of Azure Dew Rice. Based on his calculation of five ears per Azure Dew Rice plant, each ear yielded five taels of rice.

The booklet Gu Hai gave him clearly stated that the best Azure Dew Rice in Grade A land only yielded about one tael of Azure Dew Rice per plant. Because he used Five Leaf Clover grafting, his Azure Dew Rice now had five ears per plant, and each ear had five taels of Azure Dew Rice. Wasn't this an increase of several times?

Mo Wuji immediately entered his Immortal Mortal World, washed all five catties of Azure Dew Rice, refined a pot, and immediately started cooking rice.

Since he could cultivate, Mo Wuji had never thought that he would one day cook rice.

In just one incense stick's time, a fragrance of Azure Dew Rice that even Mo Wuji couldn't resist wafted out. Even Shuai Guo and Da Huang, who were cultivating, couldn't help but run out, staring eagerly at the pot where Mo Wuji was cooking rice.

Even though the pot Mo Wuji refined wasn't small, five catties of Azure Dew Rice still cooked into a pot of rice.

Mo Wuji was the first to pick up a bowl and fill it for himself. Shuai Guo and Da Huang didn't need to be told and actively took bowls to fill with rice.

Without dishes, Mo Wuji knew he was wrong after the first mouthful of rice.

Who said that cultivators must abstain from grains? Cultivators can indeed abstain from grains, but he cultivated the Immortal Mortal Dao. The desires of the mouth and tongue are also the desires of mortals.

The first mouthful of Azure Dew Rice entered his mouth. That kind of impurity-free rice fragrance and feeling, which was difficult to describe in words, transmitted to his taste buds. Not only did Mo Wuji breathe a sigh of satisfaction, but Shuai Guo and Da Huang on the side also closed their eyes, extremely satisfied.

"It really lives up to its reputation." Mo Wuji ate half a bowl of rice without dishes before exclaiming. Good or bad taste was just a taste, after all. What Mo Wuji really felt was worth it was that he clearly felt his pill poison was being resolved and even felt that his understanding of the five elements rules in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was becoming clearer.

It should be said that Azure Dew Rice was more suitable for people like him who cultivated the Immortal Mortal Dao.

…

"Who is cooking Azure Dew Rice here?" Outside Little Lingxiao Village, a group of men and women smelled the refreshing fragrance of Azure Dew Rice as soon as they entered.

"This fragrance and aura, is it rice cooked from mid-grade Azure Dew Rice?" A woman dressed in linen clothes said in shock, "No, this isn't mid-grade Azure Dew Rice at all, but high-grade Azure Dew Rice…"

After saying this, she stepped over several plots of land and rushed directly towards Mo Wuji's Plot Number 79 in the Grade D land. The few people beside her followed closely without slowing down, leaving the steward Guang Zhi with a bewildered expression.
