Chapter 27: Mystic Soil Domain, Greenhand Codex
In this cultivation world, the appearance of Secret Realms is not an uncommon occurrence, and they arise for various reasons.
Some are crafted by powerful cultivators to preserve their legacies or hidden knowledge, while others naturally form from the convergence of Spirit Energies in the environment.
Additionally, some realms are born from the remnants of fierce battles between mighty cultivators, and there are countless other ways these mysterious realms come into existence.
Almost all the Secret Realms are filled with rare cultivation resources that are harder to find in the Cultivation World, but obviously, dangers exist. Nevertheless, cultivators are willing to take risks in entering the Secret Realms to change their fates.
'What? A Secret Realm?'
Hearing the gentle voice, Ethan calmed himself and hurriedly asked, "How can I leave this Secret Realm?"
For other cultivators, they might be excited to enter a Secret Realm because of the rare cultivation resources; however, Ethan was worried about the dangers.
Others have to risk their lives to get cultivation resources to increase their cultivation; however, Ethan has the Godly Revival System, with which he could become powerful without taking unnecessary risks.
Even though he had one free revival, Ethan was looking forward to the Weekly Survival Rewards, which seemed more generous than dying.
Thus, Ethan directly asked for an exit from the Secret Realm.
[Don't worry, youngster. It is not a Secret Realm filled with dangers. In fact, it is the safest Secret Realm.]
'And I should believe your words?'
Ethan obviously didn't believe the words resounding in his head.
[Of course, you won't believe my words; however, you will know soon enough.]
The gentle voice seemed to hear Ethan's thoughts and explained, [All you have to do in this Secret Realm is cultivate a batch of Spirit Plants.]
[Depending on the harvest, I will reward you, and even if you fail, there is no punishment, but you will not get any rewards.]
'Huh? Cultivating a batch of Spirit Plants?'
Ethan was tempted by the gentle voice in his head, thinking, 'At worst, I will be killed.'
If he got killed, Ethan could easily revive outside the Secret Realm. So, Ethan felt there was nothing wrong with completing the tasks issued by the Secret Realm.
"I will complete the task then and leave the Secret Realm."
He no longer hesitated and decided to complete the task issued by the Secret Realm.
[Excellent, young man.]
The gentle voice praised Ethan before asking him, [Which rank of Spirit Seeds do you want to cultivate? Rank 1 or Rank 2?]
"I will go with Rank 1 Spirit Plants."
Ethan had never grown Spirit Plants before, so he wanted to try with the basic Rank 1 Spirit Plants.
'Swiish'
As soon as Ethan made his selection, a small green-colored bag appeared in front of him.
[There are 1000 Spirit Grass Seeds in the Seed Bag. Nurture them properly, and depending on the harvest, you will get good rewards.]
[Before you start, I want to give a Welcome Gift for activating my Secret Realm.]
'Welcome Gift?'
Ethan took the Seed Bag to check the insides when he heard the gentle voice mention the Welcome Gift, making him smile.
Who in the world doesn't like gifts?
[Yes. Use this Greenhand Codex until you complete the task. It contains various cultivation techniques recorded in it.]
[As for how many Cultivation Techniques you can learn from it, it depends on your comprehension.]
[I hope you can complete the task before I check on you again.]
After speaking continuously, the gentle voice in Ethan's head stopped speaking as though it had disappeared.
'Greenhand Codex? Contains various Cultivation Techniques?'
Ethan was still shocked by the welcome gift that appeared in his hands.
'Is this Secret Realm for real? Are there really such safe Secret Realms in this world?'
Ethan was still unable to believe the things that had happened since activating his Earth Essence Integration Technique.
Not only did he enter a Secret Realm that was safe for cultivators, but it also focused on Spirit Farming, making it too much of a coincidence.
'Ding,
The type of Secret Realms depends on the places they appear.
'Ding,
Since the Greenspire Region is known for its fertile lands filled with Spirit Soil, the Secret Realms it gives birth to are also related to Spirit Farming.
Suddenly, the system explained, removing the thoughts in Ethan's head.
'That's right! There is no coincidence.'
Ethan soon realized, 'The portal to the Secret Realm opened because I sensed the chaotic fluctuations of Spirit Energy in the soil. By infusing my Spirit Essence through the Earth Essence Integration Technique, I triggered its activation.'
'Let's see what cultivation techniques the Greenhand Codex has.'
Soon, Ethan focused on the thick book in his hands as he opened it.
[Essence of Soil Infusion – A method of infusing spiritual energy into the soil to enhance its fertility, ensuring better yields from Spirit Plants.]
On the first page, there was a cultivation technique related to enriching the soil.
Other than the name and its uses, there were diagrams of Essence Flow Patterns in the cultivator's body.
'I already have the Earth Essence Integration Technique to enrich the soil. So, there is no need to waste Life Points on it.'
With that thought in mind, Ethan flipped to the next pages to check out other cultivation techniques.
[Flourishing Spirit Rain – A technique to create small, localized rainfall filled with nourishing Spirit Essence, beneficial for cultivating Spirit Plants.]
[Healing Vine Meditation – A technique for restoring vitality to Spirit Plants, healing any damage and promoting overall plant health.]
[Green Bloom Expansion – A method to accelerate the flowering and fruit-bearing process of Spirit Plants, making them mature faster while retaining their potency.]

There were so many cultivation techniques, and all of them were related to Spirit Farming, making Ethan want to learn all of them.
'However, I have limited Life Points.'
Ethan thought about it for a moment before coming up with a perfect plan.
'It's time to learn new Cultivation Techniques.'
