A Tier 3 Medium spirit vein had dropped to Tier 2 Peak in just over a month. Although the spirit soil had all been upgraded to Tier 2 Low, many people considered this putting the cart before the horse, dubbing me the most prodigal Peak Master in history.

We hired professional spirit farmers to come and till the fields, and I learned alongside them.
