Protagonist:

Shen Yao

"Recently, unknown creatures have appeared in many provinces and cities, and numerous citizens have called to complain……"

"According to relevant departments, individual coastal cities will face strong wind alerts; to avoid casualties and property loss, emergency plans will be implemented."

"Near Mount Meishan in this province, rosy clouds occasionally appear; according to expert analysis, this is related to the recent frequent rain and scarce sunshine. The weather is gradually growing hot, so citizens are reminded to take precautions against heatstroke and cool down when traveling……"

Shen Yao sat on the sofa on the first floor, her eyes fixed on the super-large television placed right in the center.

The video was playing hot local news from the province; the host in formal attire had a calm expression, and would finish reading all domestic and provincial news in a short while.

Click

Turning off the television, Shen Yao picked up the phone beside her, swiping with both hands to browse, using the app to check the buzz online.

Since half a year ago when spiritual energy revived on Blue Star, not to mention Hua Guo, even the entire planet had been transformed, bursting with new vitality.

The Hua Guo government acted quickly; not only did it publicly announce the cause of the spiritual energy revival, but it also specially formulated new laws to restrain the new humans of the spiritual energy revival period.

What are new humans? They refer to those who possess special abilities.

Of course, it is not only humans; animals, plants, all living creatures are included.

It is a pity that the spiritual energy revival has been too short; most legendary cultivation methods are nonsense, and after half a year of effort, the entire Hua Guo has recruited only dozens of new humans, distributed to various provinces and cities, not even enough to count on one hand.

Shen Yao's identity this time is that of a youth who returned to his hometown to start a business after working for several years following university graduation.

Due to increasingly heavy life pressure, coupled with the rise of short videos, she resigned from her job, returned to her hometown town, rented fields and mountain forests, and began a farming life.

Her parents are still alive, her grandparents are still living, and she has several brothers and sisters.

Shen Yao is of the conventional type in her family, so her resignation and return to her hometown also caused some turmoil hidden beneath family affection.

Fortunately, Shen Yao had some savings after working for several years, and relying on related side businesses she could support herself.

Plus, the fields and mountain forests in the village are cheap; even if she rented them for several decades at once, it would not hurt her foundation much.

With a space as a cheat, plus things accumulated from previous worlds, even if she made a living by farming, Shen Yao still maintained her income and expenditure balance.

Now it is springtime; she has planted many vegetables and fruit trees in her fields, among which the vegetables were planted early and can already be harvested and sold.

There are also chickens, ducks, and geese raised in the mountain forests on free range; just the number of eggs picked daily, sold to the merchants who come to purchase, is another income.

Besides this, Shen Yao also plans to dig two ponds of moderate size separately at the foot of the mountain, raise some fish fry inside and plant some lotus flowers, and combined with the organized pastoral scenery, she can also earn some money from agritainment.

Mobile banking sent a message at the right time; it was a final payment of nearly one hundred thousand for goods.

Didi—

A chat message popped up, with the note reading Shen Le; this is Shen Yao's little sister.

"Second Sister, come home for dinner tonight; Eldest Sister has come over."

"Mm, tell Mom, no need to prepare meat and vegetable dishes; I'll bring them from the estate."

After quickly finishing typing, Shen Yao opened the contacts, contacted the engineering team she had previously cooperated with, and handed over the work of the two ponds to them.

Exhale

Stand up

Shen Yao walked upstairs; when she went out again, she was carrying a small bag of seeds in her hand.

Simply putting a sun hat on her head, Shen Yao rode the small electric scooter used for transportation, ran to the foot of the mountain, and replanted some unsprouted buds.

Not mentioning these replanted ones, just looking at the tender sprouts that have already grown, green and lush, stems and leaves white as warm jade, one can tell these are extraordinary at a glance.

Indeed they are extraordinary; these are treasures Shen Yao dug out from her space, called spiritual plants in the Cultivation World, each with unique and extraordinary effects.

With the spiritual energy revival on Blue Star, these spiritual plants can be planted and grown once taken out.

Shen Yao considered her future arrangements and wanted to take this opportunity to get a formal position; after all, she did not have the determination to proclaim herself king and hegemon, and besides, in the early stage of spiritual energy revival, the concentration of spiritual energy was far inferior to that of the Cultivation World period. Even if she had cultivation methods, she would not progress as rapidly as in the Cultivation World, let alone that the spiritual energy revival here is different from that in the Cultivation World; here it is more like ability awakening, rather than mobilizing weather spiritual energy for one's own use.

Yes, the "new" in new humans refers to those who have awakened abilities such as the Five Elements or simply strengthened a certain trait.

For example, a water-type ability user discovered in this province can condense one liter of clear water instantly at any time; after confirmation by official departments and laboratories, these clear waters come from the water vapor existing around the ability user, not conjured out of thin air.

The ability of the water-type ability user seems to provide energy for converting water vapor into clear water.

Mm, speaking of which, it's a bit tasteless; therefore, although the spiritual energy revival has lasted half a year, Hua Guo has not had any major trouble from beginning to end.

However, as the spiritual energy revival lasts longer and longer, ability users constantly improve their abilities, and their corresponding skills will become greater and greater. Hua Guo's foresight in incorporating people into itself is not without preparation for the future.

The seeds were successfully buried in the soil; Shen Yao then raised her hand and moved her fingers.

Only to see a flash of green light at her fingertips; from the originally moist soil, seedlings emerged, growing straight to the length of a little finger before Shen Yao stopped the operation and wiped away her sweat drops.

That's right; Shen Yao is a wood-type ability user and also belongs to the new human category announced by the authorities.

It's just that her ability is not outstanding; she can use it a limited number of times a day. The wood-type ability she uses, besides accelerating plant growth, has not yet been found to have other effects.

After contacting the relevant departments to report, Shen Yao has been living at home; she is unrestricted in what she does daily, the only thing she needs to report is this field before her eyes, and the items planted inside cannot be sold to ordinary people.

Fortunately, the price offered by the authorities is only high, not low; selling to whom is still selling? As long as she can make money, Shen Yao doesn't care where her things are used.

Putting away the tools she brought, and using a gauze net to cover the entire field, Shen Yao rode the small electric scooter; first she went up the mountain and picked a basket of chicken and duck eggs, then carried two fat roosters.

When passing by the vegetable field, seeing several vegetables growing watery and lively, Shen Yao simply took out a bag and filled a whole bag before stopping.

All these need to be taken back to the Shen Family; the Shen Family is now a big family.

Because of renting land to farm, Shen Yao lives in the village near the mountain entrance, while the Shen Family is located around the center of the village, a three-story villa-style building, which is also one of the wealthiest in Sweetwater Village.

The Shen Family couple, Shen Guozhu and Fu Chunfang, gave birth to five children in one breath.

Eldest Brother Shen Liang, Eldest Aunt Zhou Wei; the couple opened several small supermarkets in the county city and had two children, Shen Wenqi and Shen Wenyu, who do not return to the village often on weekdays.

Second Sister Shen Xin, Brother-in-law Chen Peng; the couple currently work and live in the city, and have only one daughter, Chen Lili, who is in junior high school.

Third Brother Shen Yao, single and unmarried, currently rents land to farm in Sweetwater Village.

Fourth child Shen Le was just preparing to look for an internship job, planning to go to the city to look around in a few days.

Fifth child Shen Shuo, taking the college entrance exam this June, had already returned to the county city to study.

Shen Guozhu and Fu Chunfang each had brothers and sisters, and they themselves were capable and hardworking; while supporting several children at home, they also saved up quite a substantial family nest egg.

The little electric scooter putt-putted along the cement road; Shen Yao wore a comfortable sports suit, and no matter who she ran into, she had to stop and exchange a few words.

Everyone in the village, all the uncles and aunties, had watched Shen Yao grow up.

Some warm-hearted ones even opened their mouths to inquire about Shen Yao's lifelong marriage matter, wishing they could introduce a good match to her.

Shen Yao:...

The little electric scooter stopped in front of a three-story villa-style building; taking down the vegetables and eggs placed on the scooter, Shen Yao carried a basket in each hand and opened her mouth to call for people.

Fu Chunfang hurriedly ran out from inside the house; though in her fifties, she still moved with swift steps.

Shen Le, lagging a step behind, grinningly took the basket from Shen Yao's hand, while simultaneously turning her head to purse her lips toward the doorway, "Big Sis brought anger back; she just had a fight with Dad and Mom."

Shen Yao raised an eyebrow, "Because of what?"

Shen Xin this person looked not bad, but had a proud and arrogant temper; from childhood to adulthood she never stopped making Shen Guozhu and his wife worry.

Shen Le tsked, "What else could it be? The mother-in-law at home, of course.

She couldn't win the argument herself so she went home to bring reinforcements, then acted the good person herself — truly not a thing!"

Real sisters, yet Shen Le gave Shen Xin not a bit of face; her words were exceedingly unpleasant.

Shen Yao could only feel helpless about this; she didn't blame Shen Le — the family Shen Xin found was no good, a typical mama's boy, every word out of his mouth was "Mom."

Back when they married, the family disagreed; Shen Xin insisted on marrying even if it killed her; later Shen Xin suffered bullying, and the Shen family young and old all helped, but what was the result? A stab in the back was their ending; they had long been thoroughly disappointed in Shen Xin.

Nowadays whenever things went slightly awry, Shen Xin ran back to bring reinforcements; the key point was that every single time she would stab them in the back.

Shen Le simply hated this big sister to death, not knowing what she was after; maybe she found peaceful days unbearable, always liking to give herself high-difficulty challenges.

"Don't talk nonsense; with Mom here, this matter has nothing to do with the two of us."

Raising her hand to pat Shen Le's arm, Shen Yao sent the things in her hands to the kitchen; they helped wash the vegetables and tidy up the two chickens, only then going upstairs to rest.

By bad luck, just as they went upstairs they ran into Shen Xin coming down. A thirty-something person wearing stilettos with a miniskirt — Shen Yao even worried she'd get rheumatism when old.

"Sister"

"Big Sister"

Shen Xin hmmed once and nodded, bypassing the two younger sisters to go find Fu Chunfang; the moment she opened her mouth she begged her birth mother to go to the city and stay with her for two days.

Shen Le heard the commotion and still wanted to argue more, but was dragged back to the second-floor room by Shen Yao.

"Second Sister, you let me"

"Let what let; wait a few days until you go to the city to find an internship unit, don't make things this stiff."

"I'm not begging her; one thing she can nag about for half a year," not like she eats and lives for free; Shen Le felt that if it weren't for Big Sis and Mom looking alike, she'd definitely suspect they were swapped at birth — how come Big Sis is the only weirdo in the family?

"Alright, here"

Shen Yao saw there were some bananas and oranges in the room, took some out and handed them to Shen Le.

"Her marriage is unhappy, and she has no relatives in the city," moreover Shen Xin has Shen Guozhu and his wife to back her up; they are just sisters, it's not good to interfere too much.

Shen Le didn't make a sound, munching away at the orange in her hand until it was gone, then started talking about her own internship matters.

Fourth-year students intern for half a year; Shen Le originally didn't plan to leave the province, especially since ever since the Spiritual Qi Revival, everywhere has been unsettled.

"... The school requires it this way, but the factory's location is remote; I thought if I could find a job myself, I wouldn't need the school to arrange it..."

Shen Le was unwilling to drill into deep mountains and old forests or desolate uninhabited suburbs to work; she'd rather find a slightly worse internship.

"Otherwise come help me?" What she runs is more like a farmstead than a farmhouse inn; inside they plant seasonal vegetables and staple grains, they also have a business license for external operations, and even pay taxes every year.

Shen Le nodded and then shook her head, "Let's see first; Dad and Mom already aren't happy about it," if she went over there too, Second Sister's situation would be even more difficult.

The two sisters weren't far apart in age; they supported each other growing up, and now that they're grown they get along normally.

Shen Yao listened to the movement downstairs, clapped her hands and went downstairs with Shen Le.

Shen Guozhu was busy with field work; by the time a family of five sat at the table to eat, the time had already reached six in the evening.

Shen Xin ate while droning on about how badly she fared; before Fu Chunfang could say anything, Shen Guozhu directly slapped the tabletop hard, telling Shen Xin if she couldn't take it then get a divorce.

"Dad, how can I divorce? I still have Lili, and besides He Peng treats me pretty well."

Shen Xin turned her head to beg Fu Chunfang to help, tears falling the instant she wanted them to.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao expressionlessly continued eating; anyway this matter she couldn't manage — a couple where one is willing to hit and one willing to take it, what can be done?

Fu Chunfang helplessly could only nod and agree to go to the city and stay a few days.

"If it really doesn't work, just let He Peng's mom go back to her hometown," Fu Chunfang couldn't keep running back and forth; at her age, a trip to the city took several hours — who could stand that kind of tossing about?

Shen Xin hemmed and hawed and changed the subject; go, that definitely wouldn't work — He Peng wouldn't be at ease.

Shen family members:...

Fine then, each person has their own fate, nothing can be done!

The two chickens Shen Yao brought were all eaten clean, including the vegetables brought back — more than half went down.

Shen Xin patted her belly, saying her second sister's farming craftsmanship was really not bad; no wonder she dared to rent land and sell vegetables, speaking big words about taking some eggs and vegetables back to let He Peng and the kids have a taste.

"Big Sis, other people when they return to their natal home all bring food; how come every time you come back it's eat and take?" The elbow bends outward too obviously; how can it be like this?

"Little kid, what do you understand?" Shen Xin didn't take it to heart; this is the natal home, and asking a younger sister for some local specialties isn't worth money, so what?

Shen Yao:... Quite valuable, okay; she put quite a lot of good things in there, the selling price is several times that of ordinary vegetables.

But no need to argue with the other party on this; can't understand human speech and still wastes breath; giving it on account of Dad and Mom's face — how many times a year does this kind of opportunity happen?

Smilingly agreed, "Tomorrow early morning I'll pick some fresh ones and send them over."

After eating and drinking their fill, Shen Yao rode the little electric scooter back; her farmstead had much land, whether busy season or idle season she would spend money to hire people to look after it, basically all old hands from the village, prices middle-of-the-road but winning in not having to travel far — very suitable for the village's middle-aged and elderly.

The next day early morning, Shen Yao sent a basket of freshly picked vegetables and eggs to Shen Xin's hands, and then watched as Shen Xin and Fu Chunfang got in the vehicle and left.

They only thought this time would be like usual, that Fu Chunfang would return after a few days, not wanting that Fu Chunfang was comparatively unlucky, they received a call from City Central Hospital.
