Chapter 183: Plowing the fields, pulling weeds, planting spirit herbs

~7 min read 1,311 words

Big brother took away the little brother-in-law; as for how he does it, that's big brother's business. In any case, Shang Yue definitely won't get any good outcome.

Chen Chuyang knows Chen Chusheng's temperament best; that's why he gave him a period of time—to let big brother educate this little brother-in-law. If he really had to take Chen Chuyang along, he might not even have time to watch him, he's too busy.

Shang Hongxue worried: "Chuyang gege, big brother won't...?"

Don't worry, big brother knows his limits; your younger brother will be fine. Since you could bring him up the mountain, you must prepare to endure hardship. Letting him reclaim land is also to train his body; only with a strong physique can he lay a solid foundation, and with a solid foundation, condensing the qi seed becomes easy.

Look at you: after strengthening your physique, condensing the qi seed happens instantly. This step is crucial, concerning his future; we must prepare in advance. Shang Yue's body isn't solid enough, nor strong enough; he needs to endure some hardship.

Shang Hongxue nodded; she understood this reasoning, but doing this, wouldn't it be a bit unfair to her younger brother?

Although there is Chuyang gege's revenge involved, reclaiming land indeed has many benefits—just look at big brother Chen Chusheng: his temper has settled, he's a completely different person, giving off a much heavier impression; his strength and cultivation are the same, but he's much steadier.

Not long after starting land reclamation, big brother already achieved such results; if the little brother could follow big brother's learning, she believes he can soon reach this step; by then, even a complete rebirth would not be an exaggeration.

"Can Shang Yue endure it?"

"Of course, don't underestimate Shang Yue."

Chen Chuyang didn't bring him along because he worried Shang Hongxue couldn't bear to be harsh, would soften at a critical moment; meanwhile, he also had other things to do: the Wild Dragon Snake matter hasn't been settled, and his own cultivation also needs to be accelerated.

Research on the Cultivation body must not be neglected, nor the study of elixirs; in short, many things, most of which he lets others handle first. Currently the priority is the Wild Dragon Snake's corpse—must be settled early; the Wild Dragon Snake blood in his hands must be realized, cannot be left idle.

After the marriage is settled, Shang Hongxue basically can't run away, and Chen Chuyang should also cultivate for a period.

At the same time, he also wants to make a trip into the cave heaven to excavate again.

The Wild Dragon Snake's inner elixir and other treasures inside its body were not brought back; he feels it's unsafe.

With the news of the Wild Dragon Snake's cave heaven spreading, he knows people will definitely enter it; he can't continue… he must calm down and settle it early, otherwise he won't have the mind to cultivate.

These, naturally, cannot be told to Shang Hongxue—too dangerous; he'll tell her later.

However, Chen Chuyang guessed that this girl must have figured something out, she just didn't say it.

After all, she's soaked in Wild Dragon Snake blood several times; she's somewhat familiar with that smell.

"These days, let him reclaim land in peace; when I have free time, I'll refine a few batches for him, and then he can condense the qi seed."

"Okay."

Currently unable to refine; Shang Yue's small frame can't withstand it; at most he can only take a medicinal bath.

For the medicinal bath, it's just right to prepare together; later, everyone on the mountain will take a turn.

Chen Chuyang arranged some tasks for Shang Hongxue, such as planting spirit herbs, pulling weeds, etc., similar work to what Liu Yuer and the others do—not difficult.

"Chuyang gege, I know what to do; you go attend to your business."

"Okay, during this period you watch Shang Yue; don't let him go down the mountain. Once those formations are triggered, you won't be able to break them—very dangerous."

"I know."

Shang Hongxue nodded; she knew Chen Chuyang was going to attend to important matters, so she didn't ask and didn't follow him.

Before leaving, Chen Chuyang hugged this sensible girl, so sensible.

After the hug, Chen Chuyang brought the little carp up the mountain together, quietly arriving at the spirit spring's location.

Looking back, he saw Hongxue and Zhang Nongqian's little girl busy together, planting spirit herbs; the seeds Chen Chuyang gave her, he told her how to do it; the spirit field opened for reclamation is just right for planting spirit herbs, she also knows that; having planted spirit herbs before, she became the teacher of the two girls, patiently passing on her experience.

Every detail, every step—how to do it, how to plant, how deep, plus the spirit herbs' properties, etc. —every step must not be wrong.

On big brother's side, Shang Yue began his tragic life: reclaiming the spirit field, he became a mere laborer; big brother had the hoe ready, instructed him how to do it, assigned tasks, let him reclaim a plot of spirit field; difficulty not high; at first Shang Yue had courage, thinking he could finish quickly.

But once he started working, he realized he was wrong.

The soil here is as hard as stone, almost injuring him.

"Everything is on track; I hope… those people won't enter the cave heaven so quickly."

After saying that, Chen Chuyang turned and entered the spirit spring.

All the way down, anxious as he was, after entering underground he glanced at the silver carp—still the same; the formation was also unchanged.

Following the little carp forward, with the little carp present, he encountered no danger.

The whole way was safe; he re-entered the cave heaven—familiar territory for Chen Chuyang, no need to be as cautious as the first time; familiar formation, neither moved nor damaged.

Returning to the cave, Chen Chuyang saw the blood on the ground, began collecting it—cannot waste, any blood is treasure.

After two hours of work, he collected all the blood on the ground.

"The blood of the Wild Dragon Snake corpse is truly abundant; last time we drew so much, yet there's still this much flowing out."

"Little carp, will there be trouble this time?"

The little carp laughed and shook its head: "I don't know, Master."

It stared at the dark cave, no longer as frightened as the first time.

One person and one fish arrived at the familiar place.

"Master, don't throw me in; I'll go in myself."

Seeing the master's smug smile, the little carp knew things were not good.

The master surely had a bad idea; it immediately broke free from Chen Chuyang, controlling its body to move forward.

"Cough, master, let me help you."

Saying that, he grabbed its body and threw it inside.

Watching itself rush in, the little carp cursed aloud, the curses directly flooding Chen Chuyang's mind.

The curses were so vulgar that hearing them made Chen Chuyang feel uncomfortable.

Where did it learn those words?

After entering, the little carp lost contact with him.

Chen Chuyang waited outside, meanwhile drawing Wild Dragon Snake blood, as usual.

At the same time, he absorbed the blood qi permeating the air.

After drinking a bottle of Wild Dragon Snake blood, Chen Chuyang's body turned fiery red.

Golden Core revolving, devouring Wild Dragon Snake blood—whatever amount comes, he devours that much, like a bottomless pit.

Inside the Golden Core, there was an additional, different kind of aura.

It seemed that dragon blood condensed within the Golden Core, like Technique, forming a unique Dao.

Wild Dragon Snake, resembling both dragon and snake, the condensed form was naturally also an illusory shadow of the Wild Dragon Snake.

It was exactly the same as the Wild Dragon Snake before one's eyes, only reduced many times over.
