On Mount Ziyang, there were mainly cultivators and cultivators’ clans. There were no servants because there was no need for them.
Every year, the clan would give out clean clothes talismans, dust-proof talismans, and fire talismans. When one waved the talisman over one’s body, it would immediately become clean, and it would be even cleaner than taking ten showers.
The clan’s dining hall was a feast of high-grade spirit herbs, even better than the imperial banquet in the Imperial Palace.
Mortals lacked spiritual energy, so they could not plant spiritual fields. Only cultivators with spiritual fields could tend to spiritual fields.
Cultivators had very high levels of productivity. Lu Xuanji was only at the first level of the Qi Refinement stage, but he could farm a thousand acres of spiritual fields in ten days.
He took good care of them, preventing diseases and pests.
He cultivated while he farmed.
He could expand the spiritual fields, but he did not do so. It would only delay his cultivation time.
Cultivating for four hours a day would cause pain in the meridians, and one had no choice but to stop. If one continued to cultivate, it would harm the meridians.
While he rested, he started to practice some spells.
The first spell was the Small Spiritual Rain spell, which focused on farming.
The second spell was the Fireball spell, which focused on offense.
The third spell was the Fire Shield spell, which focused on defense.
The fourth spell was the Wind Escape spell, which focused on running away.
There was no need to learn the other spells for the time being. His cultivation was too weak to support a powerful spell attack.
Three months later, the spirit field was full of grains, and the White Yang Rice had matured.
Lu Xuanji took out his sickle and harvested the rice, putting it into the granary.
…
In the blink of an eye, five years had passed.
In the cave abode, Lu Xuanji opened his eyes, and there was a flash of brilliance in his eyes.
He was already at the second level of the Qi Refinement stage.
At this moment, his mother sensed something and asked curiously, “Son, you’ve reached the second level of the Qi Refinement stage.”
“Yes.”Lu Xuanji said, “Advancing one level in five years is extremely slow.”
“Is it slow? It’s not slow at all.”
His mother, Ye Xinlan, smiled and said, “According to this speed, you can reach the ninth level of the Qi Refinement stage at the age of 50. Also, this is without the supplementary spirit pills. If you have the supplementary pills, your cultivation speed will be even faster. You’ll reach the ninth level of the Qi Refinement stage in your early forties… your cultivation speed is already comparable to some of the weaker Two Spiritual Roots.”
Ye Xinlan was quite pleased with her son’s cultivation speed, but she was also slightly disappointed. If he had entered the Dan Yang Sect, his cultivation speed would have been even faster. He might have entered the ninth level of the Qi refinement realm when he was only in his early twenties.
The Dan Yang Sect had a Grade 4 spirit vein. Cultivating on such a high-grade spirit vein would allow one to quickly level up even in the presence of servant disciples. The Lu family only had a Grade 3 spirit vein, which was only one grade lower, but the difference of one grade was huge.
“It’s still too slow.” Lu Xuanji frowned.
“My son, don’t aim too high.” His mother consoled him.
A short moment later, Lu Xuanji went back to farming. He had been farming for five years. He still needed to continue farming for more than 20 years. Only when he reached the late-stage of the Qi Refinement stage would he be able to end his farming career and engage in other matters of the clan.
He was not the only one. His father, mother, and many other Foundation Establishment cultivators, as well as the Zifu disciple of the clan, had all experienced farming for several decades.
No one was exempt from it.
For low-level cultivators, planting spirit rice was the most cost-effective. As for other tasks like transporting goods or overseeing a region, their strength was still too weak, so it was not safe.
Another day had passed.
Lying on his bed, Lu Xuanji felt somewhat bored. “Cultivation is really boring…”
“If only I had a smartphone, how good would that be?” Thinking about the smartphone, Lu Xuanji felt an itch in his heart.
[The battery of the mobile phone is full. You can turn it on and use it.]
Lu Xuanji suddenly sensed something, and at the next moment, a smartphone appeared in his hand.
He had bought this smartphone for 1,500 yuan in his previous life and had used it for three years.
“My novels, and all my contacts, I’m here.”
He pressed the start button, and soon, there was a flash of light. The phone was turned on successfully.
Flipping through the phone, many functions had disappeared. The downloaded novels disappeared, all his contacts disappeared, the weather forecast disappeared, the application bank disappeared, and the calendar disappeared.
[The phone has malfunctioned. The phone is rebooting.]
A line of text appeared on the screen. Then, the phone screen turned black.
Lu Xuanji waited.
Whoosh.
The phone was changing slightly. It was absorbing the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth, and it was undergoing an astonishing change.
As it absorbed the spiritual energy, the spiritual energy in the Spirit Cave was sucked dry.
Lu Xuanji took out ten spirit stones and put them in.
Crack, crack.
With a violent sound, the spirit stones were shattered into pieces.
Lu Xuanji’s heart ached as he watched.
His one year’s income was only 10 spirit stones, and five years’ income was only 50 spirit stones.
After consuming 10 spirit stones, the phone stopped absorbing the spirit energy.
The phone vibrated, and a voice message was transmitted.
The phone screen flashed with light, and it entered the reboot process.
Lu Xuanji was waiting patiently, and after about five minutes, the phone finally restarted and entered the main page.
However, when he looked at it again, he felt that something was wrong again.
On the screen, there was a blooming lotus flower and a battery pattern in the upper right corner. Everything else was gone. There was no App Store, no WeChat, no novels. Even all the basic tools had disappeared.
“Is this my phone?” Lu Xuanji muttered.
The battery was increasing, and at the same time, Lu Xuanji felt that the spiritual energy in his body was being consumed. In other words, the phone was no longer using up power but was using up spiritual energy.
The phone was only at 5%. It would take at least three hours for it to be fully charged.
It was a bit slow. Lu Xuanji was bored and could only continue waiting.
About three hours later, the phone was fully charged.
Lu Xuanji checked the phone. Under the influence of the laws of the cultivation world, the phone had undergone a strange transformation and turned into a Magic Treasure.
However, the grade was a bit low, and it was only a Grade 1 Magic Tool.
[Connect to the internet?]
[Yes or no]
“Internet… what network can I connect to?” Lu Xuanji was puzzled,
However, he still pressed ‘Yes’.
At this moment, Lu Xuanji felt that the phone had undergone a strange transformation, as if it was connected to a great existence.
Whoosh…
At this moment, the Lu family’s Patriarch opened his eyes.
“Who is it? Did a Nascent Soul True Monarch descend to this world?”
The Lu family’s Patriarch looked at the sky, as if he was afraid of something.
Just now, he felt the laws of heaven and earth stirring. It if there was a supreme existence that could steer the laws of heaven and earth. Only a Nascent Soul True Monarch could do this.
However, after a moment, the laws retracted, and everything seemed to return to normal.
“Could it be that Nascent Soul True Monarch was just passing by?”
The Lu family’s Patriarch was silent as he continued to cultivate, as if nothing had happened.
…
[You have successfully connected to the internet. Congratulations on enjoying your beautiful life.]
At this time, a line of text appeared on the phone.
The screen changed, and two icons appeared.
One icon was [File Management].
The other icon was [Fate Deduction].
“Only two functions, that’s garbage.”
Lu Xuanji turned on his phone and scrolled around.
[File Management. You can download pictures, download software, and collect a huge amount of information.]
[Fate Deduction, you can use the information collected to make deductions.]
Lu Xuanji asked, “How long can I Live?”
[Host, in the refinement stage, you can live for 110 years and nine months.]
Lu Xuanji frowned.
This answer was not perfect, but it was not bad either.
It was ideal for Qi Refinement stage to live for 120 years. In fact, many Qi Refinement stage cultivators passed away in meditation when they were over 100 years old. They simply could not live to their limits.
If they were injured in battle, their lifespan would be even shorter.
“How many years can I reach the ninth level of the Qi Refinement stage?” Lu Xuanji asked.
[The host will reach level nine at the age of 53.]
[Considering that the host will take some pills to aid in his cultivation, he will reach level nine at the age of 42.]
“What is the probability of me reaching the Foundation Establishment stage?” Lu Xuanji asked nervously.
[Authority required has exceeded Fate Deduction, unable to answer.]
“Can I perfect the Cultivation Method?” Lu Xuanji asked.
[Yes, at the Qi Refinement stage. A large amount of Qi Refinement Cultivation Methods is needed as a reserve of knowledge. It will also take some time.]
Lu Xuanji confirmed the two functions of the phone.
File Management could store information. It could could store 100,000 books.

Fate Deduction could be used to calculate certain things. To calculate Cultivation Methods, a huge amount of information is required as support. Moreover, the content of the deduction could only be of the Qi Refinement stage. It would still take some time.
“Interesting.” Lu Xuanji stroked his chin as he analyzed.
A smartphone was essentially a mini-computer and had a huge amount of computing power.
After the smartphone transmigrated, it underwent a mutation and evolved into a Magic Treasure. However, a huge amount of computing power still existed in its core.
Any function would be performed using a huge amount of computing power..
