Chapter 752: Tianlian Zhenren Teases Shang Hongchen
Shang Hongxue smiled along, Xiao Qian'er was happy, she also was happy together, it can be said she has been witnessing Xiao Qian'er's growth all the way, accompanying Xiao Qian'er as she grew up, step by step from a little girl who cultivated spiritual medicines and Dragon Tooth Rice to today; of the effort she put in, Shang Hongxue knows best.
If one asks who is the most diligent cultivator on Longshe Shan, it has to be Xiao Qian'er; she dares not waste a single minute, and besides cultivation she studies spiritual medicines, reads the Spiritual Medicine Hundred Herbs Classic cover‑to‑cover, memorizes it thoroughly, and also compares various spiritual medicines, even trying and discerning them herself.
She can endure loneliness; even if no one cares for her or encourages her, she still researches and cultivates on her own. With such a temperament, failure is impossible.
Her early life taught her what hard‑won happiness is; Longshe Shan gave her a home, so Xiao Qian'er naturally does not wish to leave it, wanting to contribute her effort and become a part of that home.
That is her ambition: to share Chen Chuyang's burden and help him; that is enough.
Things her mother cannot do, she can; she is different from her mother, whose talent is limited to constantly planting Dragon Tooth Rice and Dragon Blood Rice, which became her daily routine. As the planting area of those rice expands, her mother also grows weary.
Fortunately, her mother's cultivation level has risen considerably, resources have been replenished; Longshe Shan lacks nothing except that its spiritual energy and spiritual medicines are abundant, there are also many pills, and a portion of Dragon Tooth Rice, all of which are her remuneration and can be used at will.
After the harvest of Dragon Tooth Rice and Dragon Blood Rice increased, they also received a share, considered Chen Chuyang's remuneration for them; how they allocate it is a matter for mother and daughter. On Longshe Shan, Chen Chuyang treats everyone equally—anyone who puts in effort receives a certain reward.
Liu Yuer and her daughter are the same, and Hu Yueer and his mother and child, three people, are likewise; they all receive a share of resources instead of being exploited. Their motivation to work is strong; they act on their own initiative without Chen Chuyang having to watch over them, nor does Shang Hongxue need to whip them.
The more they do, the more they reap; the rewards they receive increase proportionally.
After her cultivation rose, Liu Yuer's body became stronger; overseeing the Dragon Tooth Rice and Dragon Blood Rice is a trivial matter, not to mention that Hu Yueer and his group can be ordered to work together. Even though the planting area of those rice has expanded severalfold, she is not afraid.
After each successful harvest, the planting area expands; there are still many places on Longshe Shan that need to be opened up, which they naturally do—tending the Dragon Tooth Rice and Dragon Blood Rice, opening new fields, and also overseeing the spiritual medicines and spirit fruits of Longshe Shan.
There are fixed tasks every day, essentially endless.
Longshe Shan does not keep idle people; even Chen Hu and Chen Li are the same—they each have their own tasks. After the three of them adapt, they gradually stop resisting and become quite happy.
Only Hu Yueer still has his own thoughts.
In this regard, Chen Chuyang does not interact with them nor give them a chance to ascend the mountain, causing all their ideas to be unfulfillable.
Shang Hongxue is the same; does not give them a chance.
"Xiao Qian'er, refine all the remaining spiritual medicines into Hundred Herbs Pills to boost your Pill Refining experience."
"After that, go live in the Pill Refining Hall; that will be your new territory. In that place, only you, me, and your master's wife may approach; others cannot get close. This is a Formation Token; without the token, you cannot enter."
"Tell your mother as well, and remind her not to get near that area."
The Formation does not recognize people; anyone who rashly approaches will be blasted by the Formation.
Chen Chuyang explained this in advance, asking Xiao Qian'er to remind her mother.
Xiao Qian'er hangs the Formation Token on her waist, nodding repeatedly, memorizing the master's words.
"Afterwards, I will teach you how to correctly refine pills."
"When you reach the Pill Refining Hall, do not forge pills yourself at first; the ground fire is raging, and improper handling remains dangerous."
"Yes, master." Xiao Qian'er naturally understands this; the spiritual medicines in her hands need to be refined into Hundred Herbs Pills, which will take some time. Her true Qi consumption is great and needs recovery.
Especially her mind‑spirit consumption is huge, and recovery is very slow.
These batches of spiritual medicine require some time to be refined into pills.
Xiao Qian'er is not in a hurry.
"Alright, go tell your mother so she won't worry."
"Yes, master."
Xiao Qian'er hopped away, and Shang Hongxue watched her back, happily saying, "Xiao Qian'er finally made a breakthrough; it's about time you, master, personally taught her."
Between the words lie resentment and teasing.
Chen Chuyang lowered his head, pinched her cheek, and softly said, "Wife, come, let me reward you properly."
"Husband, in broad daylight, could you be a bit more considerate?"
"Madam, we as a couple enjoy life; why should we care about others?"
Then he bent down, lifted Shang Hongxue, giving her no chance to refuse.
Shang Hongxue let out an "ah", blushing intensely yet showing no intention of getting down, clasping Chen Chuyang's neck with both hands, chiding, "Husband, take it easy."
"Your husband understands."
Then he led Shang Hongxue back to the room; their private time began.
Shang Hongchen's mouth twitched; having witnessed the scene with her own eyes, she saw these two flaunting their love regardless of time or place.
She could see them from not far away; she couldn't ignore them.
Tianlian Zhenren teased, "Hongchen, actually you could really consider turning back; it's also a good option."
"Master," Shang Hongxue clenched her lips and shouted forcefully.
Tianlian Zhenren pretended not to see, muttering to herself, "Hongchen, I, as your master, also do this for your sake. Our master will likely stay on Longshe Shan for a while; according to Chen Chuyang, we won't be allowed to leave until at least after the Heavenly Heart Sect is destroyed."
"By then, neither you nor I will have anywhere to go."
Being homeless, they might consider the future in advance.
And Longshe Shan is a fine place; Chen Chuyang himself is quite good—he truly spares nothing for his own people and genuinely helps them.
Look at Shang Hongxue; she's already condensing pills, while Shang Hongchen is still lingering before the condensation.
She'll never meet such a good person again; Tianlian Zhenren feels regret for her disciple.
"Master," Shang Hongchen stamped her foot, not wanting to hear the master's words, and turned away.
Tianlian Zhenren shook his head; this disciple remains the same, unable to wipe the face clean; such matters need no face.
At critical moments, one must step forward oneself.
Face and dignity are less important than the future; besides, we're all our own people—once we take that step, all previous embarrassments become irrelevant.
