I plan to cut some grain while it's cool before the sun comes out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen realized, then said naturally: \"Let's go together!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Lan hesitated, looking at Luo Chen's thin, slender back, \"But your body?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn't matter.\" Luo Chen turned around and smiled slightly, \"I feel bad for eating and drinking for free.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so...\" Jing Lan hesitated for a moment, then said: \"Then wait for me a moment, I'll prepare things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, she ducked back in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen still stood outside, his expression neither sad nor happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his body was still a long way from recovering to its peak, simple activities wouldn't affect anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was, after all, a Desolate Beast body; it wasn't that delicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he also intended to understand the situation in this area by integrating into the local lifestyle, and Jing Lan would be a good choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, Jing Lan came out wearing a straw hat and carrying a basket on her back, with the faint sound of clinking coming from inside the basket as she walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rice fields belonging to Jing Lan were far from her home, mostly at the foot of the mountain, and they were mostly scattered, one piece here and one piece there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Jing Lan's words, many were reclaimed by herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen followed behind Jing Lan, listening to the woman introduce the general situation, his gaze constantly scanning the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mountain village wasn't big, with only thirty or forty households in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The houses were built on the mountain, and the fields were reclaimed along the mountain, layer upon layer from top to bottom, looking like crescent moons from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still early, but figures could still be seen stooping and working between the ridges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, these people were like Jing Lan, getting up early to harvest rice while it was cool. After all, Luo Chen had already learned how hot it was during the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those three peculiar great suns made Luo Chen curious to this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that there were three huge, glowing, and heating stars around this world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way down, people would greet Jing Lan from time to time, and curious gazes would always fall on Luo Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one asked much, as if they had long known about Jing Lan taking Luo Chen in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene, which was commonplace, made Luo Chen even more confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does something like me happen often?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Lan was stunned for a moment, then said: \"Not often, but it happens occasionally that people in the Great Destruction Realm pick up strange things from the wild, so over time, no one will ask anything to avoid trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strange things?\" Luo Chen frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Lan said naturally: \"Yes, living people like you are rare, but other gold, iron, gems, weapons, and blades do appear often. Especially after every Sky Wind blows, the frequency of such things appearing is higher. Some bold ones will even go out to hunt for treasure during that time, and there are people in the Immortal Relic City who specialize in collecting these things for high prices.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sky Wind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heard the name of one of the three great natural disasters of the Great Destruction Realm again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen remembered that Jing Lan picked him up after a Sky Wind blew, but since he woke up, he hadn't seen a Sky Wind even once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of natural phenomenon was that, which would bring a large number of things from the outside world, and even powerful existences like himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman's footsteps stopped on a ridge, looking at the rows of golden, well-growing rice, her tone was extremely joyful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this was a bumper year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen was a bit strange; when Jing Lan went out, she only carried a basket on her back, which contained sickles, water bottles, and other things, but no tools for threshing. How would they bring it back after harvesting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Lan seemed to see his confusion and explained carefully: \"Harvesting sun-facing rice is simple to thresh, but the difficulty lies in cutting the rice. The rice straw is very tough, and harvesting takes a lot of effort, but if you cut it off, the rice ears can be dropped by just gently pulling them. Later, I'll cut the rice, and you just pull the ears into the basket.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, she had already put down her things, entered the dry and cracked rice field, bent down, and began to cut the rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen stood behind, pulling the ears of the rice she had cut into the basket one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this process, he used a little force with his fingers to crush some rice husks and put them into his mouth to chew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This rice...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thoughtful look appeared in Luo Chen's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his perception, this rice contained slight energy. If it could be consumed in large quantities, its efficacy would be no less than spirit rice in the Mountain Sea World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, the rice produced by this sun-facing rice contained a trace of peculiar supreme yang power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it related to the daily irradiation of the three blazing suns in this place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting this discovery, Luo Chen couldn't help but be stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying solely on decomposing Source Blood could heal his body's injuries, but it was ultimately an internal drain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could have a large amount of energy-containing food to supplement, it might accelerate his recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was just ordinary sun-facing rice planted by ordinary villagers in Qingshan Town. Were there better rice in that Immortal Relic City?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen pondered while nimbly peeling off the rice ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, a heavy panting sound came from his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's take a break!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Lan straightened her waist, sat on the edge of the field, and picked up a water bottle to gulp down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Large beads of sweat dripped from her face, and her wheat-colored skin shimmered with a healthy luster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing Luo Chen staring at her, Jing Lan was a bit embarrassed and handed over the water bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to drink?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately, you helped this year, otherwise I don't know how long it would have taken me alone. Everyone hopes that this sun-facing rice grows better, but if it grows too well, it becomes tougher to cut, which is really troublesome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Lan sighed while shaking her sore wrists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she saw Luo Chen pick up a sickle and enter the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Lan opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to stop Luo Chen, but saw him easily cut down a half-person-high sun-facing rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll cut, you be responsible for threshing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen casually threw a handful of sun-facing rice aside, his expression as calm as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him, this level of labor was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Lan's gaze was complex, and she didn't persist. After resting enough, she began the work Luo Chen had done before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, she not only threshed but also bundled the remaining rice straw into bundles and set them up in the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing Luo Chen's gaze, she explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After drying, these are very good firewood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen just said \"Oh\" faintly and continued to cut the grain by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved very fast, almost ten times faster than Jing Lan before. The not-too-large field was almost finished harvesting under his movements before the morning sun rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The basket was just filled with the grain from this field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way back, Luo Chen took the initiative to carry it on his back and walk toward the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Lan followed behind, her brows soft, and her gaze carried some special flavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, someone greeted Jing Lan again, mostly praising their speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving home, Luo Chen poured the grain from the basket onto the spread-out bamboo mat, letting the newly risen sun expose it to the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You take a break, I'll push the grain flat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Lan picked up a bamboo rake and pushed a pile of grain hard outside the bamboo mat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen stood on the side, his gaze falling on the foot of the mountain, where some figures carrying grain home could be vaguely seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly said: \"After the autumn harvest, take me to town!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Lan was stunned, as if realizing something, her face couldn't help but become complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lowered her head and said softly: \"Okay.\" ===== CHAPTER 1077 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1526,"2026-06-12T10:36:14.149Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","96dfd71fc6b1c2c1a5da3f55242ad36effb61000f17fb161e2d5fe35802850c7","immortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-chapter-1075","immortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-chapter-1073",1090,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-cover.jpg"]
