Plants grew from seeds.
Wen Zhihao had bought many tropical fruits with the intent to ration them over the next month or so, as the spatial storage could perfectly preserve food. But what if he planted the seeds?
Sure, they weren’t in the tropics, but he could use a talisman to make the air warmer… If he could grow these fruits, then he wouldn’t have to travel far to acquire them, and he wouldn’t have to wait till season for them…
Wen Zhihao mentally patted himself on the back.
(Completely not thinking about whether growing these fruits would be difficult—there should be a talisman for that, surely?)
With this scheme in mind, Wen Zhihao put the mango seed back into his spatial ring and took out some water for him and Sun Fuyu to wash their hands.
“What about the other fruits, Wen-ge?” Now that Sun Fuyu had experienced the deliciousness of mango, he was eager to try more.
“Let’s go back to the Sect first. Eating some of these fruits can be messy ba.”
“Okay!”
The two of them flew leisurely back towards the Golden Sun Sect, taking twice as long on the return trip.
They spent the night outside while they looked for Things That Were Hollow for Wen Zhihao to use as ink reservoirs. Sun Fuyu was very smart in helping him collect thin bamboo and hollow reeds. As for the brush hairs, Wen Zhihao could use the demonic beast kitten cat fur that was shed on him every time he visited them.
The next morning, they continued flying back and arrived at the sect in the late afternoon.

As for durian, Wen Zhihao decided that more prudence was required. He’ll prepare in the forest away from other people and divide the durian flesh into some kind of air-tight containers for everyone later.
Through this fruit tasting, Wen Zhihao carefully kept all of the seeds.
“Old Tang, I want to plant these seeds. Is there a farmer or gardener who can help?”
Old Tang stroked his beard. “Hm, here we do not grow these particular fruits, but perhaps it is similar to other fruits. Come tomorrow and I’ll introduce you to the fruit gardeners here.”
Sun Fuyu’s eyes widened. “Wen-ge, are you going to raise fruit trees? Can you grow a lot of mangoes?”
Wen Zhihao smiled. “For you, of course.”
Sun Fuyu’s heart skipped a beat. “Then I’ll continue to work hard too!”
Senior Cultivator Liu Zhongmin was very satisfied with her hardworking new direct disciple, Sun Fuyu.
After his successful solo mission, Liu Zhongmin gave him more materials to study and extended her practice sessions with him. Sun Fuyu worked seriously to train his sword and increase his sword cultivation.
Meanwhile, it was a good thing that Elder Liu Ru did not keep tabs on Wen Zhihao. Because Wen Zhihao had temporarily stopped his plan to make writing talismans easy and was flying around learning how to grow fruit trees.
It was a matter of priority: plants needed time to grow. Though he didn’t think it would be hard. He had read multiple novels with characters with a magical space with spiritual spring water that could drastically improve plant growth. And here in the Golden Sun Sect, everyone drank spiritual water, and all the vegetables were grown with spiritual water.
First, with Old Tang’s introduction, Wen Zhihao talked with the non-cultivator farmers of the Golden Sun Sect. From them, he learnt a bit about planting and watering schedules, and that as long as he gave a percentage of the fruits to the Golden Sun Sect, as a sect disciple, he could obtain a basically unlimited supply of spiritual water. Furthermore, herb cultivators could be allotted land around the sect.
…Hm, did ‘internship’ as a concept exist in the sect?
Wen Zhihao headed to the Outer Sect Library next to take a look at various spiritual herb cultivation manuals. There were a lot of complicated techniques, but it all boiled down to injecting the right type/amount of qi into spiritual herbs at the right time, and oh, for some reason, cultivators were expected to remember all of it even though they could easily look it up.
As a programmer who used to search engines and stack.overflow, Wen Zhihao decided that being a herb cultivator was a bit boorish.
Nonetheless, he cleaned himself up, brushed his hair neatly, and went to visit the Herbalist Hall.
The inside of the Hall was an indoor garden, with rows of delicate-looking herbs. Rather than having a junior cultivator doing admin, the only cultivator in the Hall was a powerhouse of a Middle Stage Nascent Soul herbalist currently tending the plants. This particular cultivator, named Zhao Chunfeng, looked like an old man complete with a long white beard.
Wen Zhihao bowed respectfully. “This junior disciple greets the elder.”
Senior Cultivator Zhao Chunfeng finished tending the current pale pink herbs before looking over. “Outer sect disciple, should you not be in class?”
“What are classes, but theoretical knowledge? True progress comes from practice,” Wen Zhihao said smoothly. “This junior disciple is interested in growing magical plants.” Everything had qi in it, so technically mangoes could be considered magical.
“In particular, this junior disciple is thinking of growing plants inside a large magical space. In this manner, surely it would be easier to control temperature and weather conditions. However, this matter is not easily explained in the materials available in the Outer Sect Library.”
“Hmpff, you are getting ahead of yourself,” Zhao Chunfeng said, stroking his long white beard. “Such magical spaces are extremely expensive and entirely inaccessible to outer sect disciples such as yourself.”
“Then it is possible,” Wen Zhihao thought this was the key point.
“Hmph. Most spatial rings preserve time, but you want to have time to pass. Forget it, young one. If you wish to grow some spiritual herbs, then I can allot you a small patch of garden. Say, what is your cultivation pathway?”
Zhao Chunfeng could tell that this young cultivator had reached Middle Stage Golden Core, and therefore should be entering the inner sect soon. If he was a promising herbalist, then he could poach him. If he was a medicinal or crafting cultivator, Zhao Chunfeng would analyse him further.
“This junior disciple is currently a talisman cultivator.”
In an instant, Zhao Chunfeng’s face darkened. “Hmpff! What kind of talisman cultivator needs spiritual herbs? Are you wasting my time?!”
“This junior disciple would not dare and is very serious—”
“Get out!”
Wen Zhihao smiled politely and bowed. “Thank you for your help, Elder.”
Zhao Chunfeng waved an imperious hand and Wen Zhihao was pushed by qi out of the Herbalist Hall. The doors slammed the moment he was outside.
Wen Zhihao’s smile dropped as his qi flared up violently.
Wen Zhihao’s new slogan: There’s a gadget talisman for that!
As a programmer who used to search engines
and stack.overflow,This noob programmer reader who read the strike out words : I feel attacked QAQ
Thanks for the update!
Me too QAQ
But those are the best !
As salted fish programmers, nice to meet you comrade!
I’m just telling the truth XD Thanks for reading!
Thanks for making this lovely story >w<
I choked on my coffee-Author-san, why you gotta expose us like that? 〒▽〒
😊😘 just making everyone some tea!
Well, that was rude. Wen Zhi had that customer-service smile on but every time people get under his nerve. He should go to Sun Fuyu to vent XD
Going to Sun Fuyu to vent…poor Sun Fuyu might end up so confused XD
Wen Zhihao’s new slogan: There’s a
gadgettalisman for that! And if there’s none, I’ll make one!Thanks for the chapter 😂
I’m glad you like Wen Zhihao’s slogan!
+1
talismans do sort of work like Apps
😉😉😉😉
Seriously the more I read the more I think that until now of all those stories I did read in which the main protagonist has transmigration into another world Wen Zhihao’s reaction and acts are the more reliable and realistic. I mean if I were to wake up in another world I wouldn’t become part of it so easily and try my best right away. Wen Zhihao’s Is just so me. Thanks for the update!
If one day I wake up in another world… I will never get used to it, especially to the world with energy (qi,mana) that allows you to do things that took centuries with science in our world or even impossible
He’s definitely the most relatable out of the bunch 😅 and he seems to be aware of the dangers of becoming a main character and so far he’s been pretty good at posing as a side character to avoid trouble 😋
Is he aware of the dangers, or is he just lazy? XD (Sun Fuyu would say he’s smart, and Aunty Liu would say he’s lazy haha)
Thank you!! I’m glad you find Wen Zhihao so relatable!!!
How rude! Hmph!
thanks for the chapter~
Thanks for reading!
I love the chapter title 🤣
Wen-ge is so relatable. Also I love how he is a salted fish in most things but when it comes to things Xiao Yu wants, he will move heaven and earth.
Thanks for the chapter ❤️❤️❤️
😆😆😆 I’m glad you like the chapter title~ Xiao Yu is his ultimate soft spot, heheheh
I wanna see angry Zhihao and Fuyu coaxing his husband XD
👀 👀 👀
Thanks for all the cute chapters😍😍😍
Thanks for the chapters 🤣🤣
I feel the gong energy.
Elder, you should at least give him a chance! Now I want Wen-ge to grow an enormous garden! Be the most successful! Dammit elder! You’ll see!
Thanks for the chapter!
Wen Zhihao is first gonna grow his garden out of spite, and then forget all about this annoying elder!
If you can create it & power it, it will work, lol.
that’s the aim~! Wen Zhihao’s background is programming after all!
I just wanna say, I love your story Author-nim 😍
💙💙💙💙💙💙 thank you!!!
( ◜‿◝ )♡
Wow, people looking down on talismans.
Thanks for the chapter!
shrugs they’ll just miss out on all the good stuff then
Kicked out. Poor Wen Zhihao. I was expecting grate things from his bush, but sadly he immediately got sidetracked. 😅 But maybe he will become the master of all sections of the sect? Unlikely I know but at least he has an open mind for new ideas. ☺
he definitely won’t become a master of all the sections, he’s too lazy for the more sporty ones 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I always hate it when authority figures assume that I have no right to know things just because they are outside of my area of specialty, too. Pats WZH
The senior cultivator, * shakes head at them in disapproval *
You must know a programmer- I legit cackled at the crossed out stack.overflow. Yes. Why know it off the top of the head when one can remember where to get the information instead?
Also- Righteous sect is always full of asshats. It’s a rule.
LOL it’s cos I program sometimes 🤣 the internet is SUCH a good resource!
Also I see way too much of myself in WZ. He’s living that ADD life even if he doesn’t have it. XD
I’m glad you find him relatable!
“As a programmer who used to search engines and stack.overflow”
Hey! That’s an open secret for us ssshhhh!
nothing to see here! whistles innocently
😂🤣🤣🤣
“As a programmer who used to search engines and stack.overflow, Wen Zhihao decided that being a herb cultivator was a bit boorish. ”
I’m feel attacked 😭
😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏 just saying the truth from Wen Zhihao’s perspective hahaha
I know students (coughkidscough) asking constant questions can get tedious, but sir, that’s your JOB. And how do you know if he was serious or not anyway? We not asking questions no more, just assuming. Close-minded old codger.
those demonic beast hair brushes won’t have any unique side effects. noooo, definitely not. 👀
hmmm yeah but there are a lot of bad teachers………………….. or probably people who become teachers to lord over children?
hehehehe
these elders never heard of cross-disciplinary research or whatever? smh, the world isnt so rigid~
Some of them like purity…
Thank you for the chapter!
Thank you for reading!
