Chapter 49

Due to Li Yu's existence, Li Li Boyang's family in this life could barely be considered well-off.

Therefore, every year when spring arrived, no small number of villagers came to Li Li Boyang's house to borrow seeds.

After Li Li Boyang borrowed the Ya Pig to help the villagers reclaim fields, this situation evolved into an unspoken understanding.

Normally, when Li Yu went out hunting, the villagers in the village would help him look after Chen Yun and her child.

In return, the Li family was responsible for lending seeds to villagers who had no surplus grain, helping them overcome the seed shortage during the spring season.

This situation continued into the second year.

The villagers were surprised to discover that the grain grown from the fields where they borrowed seeds from Li Yu's house seemed to be ten to twenty percent higher than under normal circumstances?

The villagers were ignorant, but they were not fools.

Although they did not know what trickery lay within, borrowing and exchanging seeds from Li Yu's house seemed to have become a trend.

Corresponding to this was the increasingly outrageous rumors spreading among the villagers.

For instance, Li Li Boyang was indeed the child of the Mountain God.

Not only could he borrow magical treasures from the Mountain God, but even the seeds in his family were blessed by the Mountain God.

Under normal circumstances, this was all Li Li Boyang could achieve.

After all, in his previous life he was just an ordinary person, not an expert or master in agriculture.

Until Li Li Boyang saw the scene of the Ya Pig plowing the fields again.

He suddenly realized that this was not Earth; why did he have to follow the agricultural rules of his previous life?

Leaving other things aside, simply the matter of selecting superior seeds for the coming year, Li Li Boyang could use the Bone Armor of Destiny to assist.

He only needed to toss the Bone Armor of Destiny lightly, and he would roughly know in his heart how many rice ears that seed would bear in the coming year.

With this, Li Li Boyang's selection of superior seeds would not rely solely on the plumpness of the grains, but would maximize the excavation and enhancement of the seeds' potential.

As the saying goes, once one knot is understood, a hundred knots are understood.

Since the Bone Armor of Destiny could be used to select superior seeds, could he not also take other shortcuts?

Thus, under these circumstances, a stone rock dedicated solely to screening and cultivating superior seeds appeared inside the cliff cave.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"The situation is quite good, much better than I imagined."

Tossing the Bone Armor of Destiny lightly once more, a satisfied smile appeared on Li Li Boyang's face.

"Not only has the yield of this batch of seeds increased significantly, but their resistance to pests and extreme climates has also improved."

"The only pity is that their maturation cycle is still around one hundred and twenty days; it cannot be shortened to one hundred days."

Hearing this, the Big Black Dog rolled its eyes in a very human-like manner.

"You want to create superior seeds that ripen three times a year? You have the nerve to think that!"

"If it weren't for me looking after and hastening the ripening here, you wouldn't even get these high-quality seeds."

Hastening the ripening of plants using divine arts and spells was also an unexpected discovery for Li Li Boyang.

At that time, Li Li Boyang did not have many complex thoughts.

He simply wanted the Bone Armor of Destiny to help him find a place dedicated solely to screening and cultivating superior seeds.

Instead, by a twist of fate, he found this pitch-black rock cave and then met the Big Black Dog who was suppressed within that cave.

Although cultivating seeds in a pitch-black rock cave went somewhat against common sense.

But this world possessed supernatural powers, so it did not matter.

Putting aside the origins of this Big Black Dog for now, it certainly had some skill in cultivating superior seeds.

"I can return that same sentence to you..."

"If it weren't for Xi Luo neglecting her duties, could you have found someone willing to communicate with you just like me?"

Rolling his eyes back at the Big Black Dog, Li Li Boyang smiled and retorted.

Theoretically speaking, the Mountain God should possess the ability to hasten plant ripening, just like the Earth God.

Alas, Xi Luo was an outlier; her innate divine abilities were all invested in fire.

Moreover, her own personality was carefree and rough, so asking Xi Luo to do such delicate work was simply putting her in a difficult position.

"That is two different matters!"

"With my help, you have at least saved twenty years of time."

"The seeds here have basically reached their own limits."

"Even if you screen and optimize them again, it is absolutely impossible to pick out seeds superior to these."

When speaking to this point, the Big Black Dog's tone paused slightly.

"Not only that, these seeds are also very picky about soil fertility..."

"If planted poorly, they will basically degenerate back to their original yield within two to three generations."

"To use your words, it is like rowing upstream; if you do not advance, you retreat."

Hearing the Big Black Dog's words, which were clearly Seeking Credit, Li Li Boyang smiled again.

"Even if you say so, I will not help you break the seal; just give up on that idea!"

Although the Big Black Dog appeared very kind and gentle.

Li Li Boyang never forgot what kind of place this was.

"We have always had a fair trade."

"You help me cultivate seeds, and I will teach you cultivation."

"Seeing that you indeed did not slack off, let us continue today's lesson!"

Baring its teeth slightly, the Big Black Dog growled in low dissatisfaction.

"Teach me cultivation?"

"You are clearly using me as an experiment!"

"Do you think I don't know that the things you gave to that stinking cat were all experience extracted from me?"

Regarding being treated as an experiment while the results were handed over to Xi Luo without reservation, the Great Black Dog obviously had strong objections.

Why does that stupid cat have such good luck? Why is she so favored?

It was so a thousand years ago, and so it is again a thousand years later.

"Besides, does that stupid cat know about the things you are researching in secret?"

Facing this resentful Great Black Dog, Li Li Boyang merely refuted very calmly.

"Xi Luo is a very good elder, but you are not."

"My research was not deliberately concealed from her; I simply have not yet fully mastered that power."

As if to verify Li Li Boyang's words, the shadow beneath his feet suddenly twisted and swelled.

In the next second, his shadow actually detached from his body, transforming into a pitch-black, ferocious evil ghost that crouched behind him.

That evil ghost was no more than three meters tall, yet it emitted an extreme cold malice.

Especially when it stared tightly at you, even the Great Black Dog could not help but shiver.

"Manifestation of killing intent, appearance of evil qi..."

"You are causing your shadow to transform into a new fierce god, and it is clearly not very controlled by you."

"Do you believe or not that if I tell this news to that stinking cat, she will immediately lock you up in this 'Ghost God Cliff Cave'?"

Shrugging his shoulders slightly, Li Li Boyang merely smiled indifferently.

"You won't, because you fear death."

"The fact that I have not fully mastered this power does not mean I cannot wield it to kill you."

Accompanying the falling of Li Li Boyang's words, that evil ghost behind him slowly stood up.

That evil ghost had three eyes on its forehead, fiery red hair, and sharp teeth like fangs.

Merely standing there, a scorching sensation quickly covered the entire Ghost God Cliff Cave.
