Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Finishing the five mu of land in front, Xu Zhangqing turned and walked toward the West Garden.
That land over there, although kept for planting vegetables, fruits, and such, had never been started; after all, winter was either snowing or busy with that.
Woof woof!
Wangwang wagged his tail and followed close behind.
Wah wah!
Wangzai imitated him, only his voice sounded a bit strange.
The three "dogs" soon arrived at the vegetable plot; inside it was empty with nothing much.
Fortunately, those several dozen pearl chickens had been fed by the Fortress all along, so they all grew plump and white.
In terms of quantity, including Gege there were twenty-one total; this number currently had not changed, the main reason being for ease of management, otherwise they would run everywhere and defecate everywhere.
One hen lays one egg every three days.
Eighteen hens lay eighteen eggs every three days.
These past months added together, the number of chicken eggs in Xu Zhangqing's gourd had not decreased but rather increased the more he ate, to the point of being a bit excessive.
Every day he played with patterns of pan-frying, boiling, steaming, deep-frying.
At this moment, seeing Master arrive, this flock of pearl chickens immediately swarmed over.
Compared to the Fortress that fed them daily, they obviously knew who was the real boss.
Xu Zhangqing Sees Situation took out a handful of top-grade spirit rice, tossed a bit to the east, threw a bit to the west, separating them as much as possible, then entered the "vegetable plot" to ponder.
Spring should still plant some radishes, cucumbers, baby bok choy.
Fortunately, there were many of these seeds in the storage space, practically inexhaustible.
Therefore he took out a batch, once again circulated the Four Seasons Classic, used spells to accelerate growth; at a speed visible to the naked eye they sprouted, finally reaching the stage of being ready for transplanting.
Then with a wave of his hand, without even needing to turn it into the Entangling Technique, utilizing powerful control ability, he made them fall into the black soil extremely evenly, even the root parts actively burrowed in.
In this way, all six mu of spirit fields were allocated and fully planted.
The first and second mu remained spirit rice; this would not change.
Then the third mu became Spring Tide Rice.
The fourth and fifth mu were respectively Sharp Gold Grass and Yue Root.
As for the sixth mu, it had thoroughly degenerated into a vegetable plot.
When it comes down to it, the spirit fields outside are equivalent to ornaments; their value is no longer high.
The spirit fields and spirit plants Xu Zhangqing truly cared about, or rather favored, had long since become those thirty-two mu inside his personal space.
Not to mention, they all reached second grade.
The key is, the black soil has gradually turned into five-colored earth, able to plant and cultivate better spirit plants.
Regarding spirit fields, according to yield, soil quality, spiritual energy concentration, etc., a five-grade division was made.
First grade spirit field: ordinary mortal soil, thin fertility, only enough to plant ordinary spirit plants.
Second grade spirit field: rare black soil, fertility three times mortal soil, can plant rare spirit plants.
Third grade spirit field: seldom-seen spirit soil, fertility five times black soil, can plant top-grade spirit plants.
Fourth grade spirit field: legendary five-colored earth, fertility seven times spirit soil, can plant all spirit plants.
Fifth grade spirit field: extinct Xiang soil, fertility unknown, exists only in certain Dongtian Fudi.
That is to say, the black soil in Xu Zhangqing's personal space, because of the Five Elements Spiritual Root plus Heaven-grade Golden Core and other reasons, bypassed spirit soil and directly achieved the five-colored earth that only fourth grade spirit fields possess.
Now whatever he wants to plant he can plant, without any difficulty, extremely easy.
Finished planting, teased the dogs, Xu Zhangqing turned and walked back.
Before long he arrived at the second floor bedroom, then lay down on the bed.
The next second, his whole person vanished into thin air, directly arriving in his personal space.
With his strength breaking through to Golden Core Stage, inside grew larger and larger; looking out, the places for planting and cultivating spirit plants, as well as the Ancestor's coffin, Water Spirit Palace, Secret Realm Entrance, the Mirage Dragon's Cangcan and other things, only occupied one-third.
Pity, if the spirit field quantity still wants to increase, must wait until Golden Core Middle Stage.
After all, spiritual energy concentration grows according to realm; currently there is only that much, the more there are the less enough to go around.
And besides the Mother Rice that mutated many times, the thirty-two mu of spirit fields respectively planted Solid Foundation Fertile Soil Rice, Five Elements Circulating Rice, Jin Mi Ju Ling Rice, Mutant Child Rice.
Each type had eight mu; quantity and yield were quite substantial.
Xu Zhangqing Sees In Eyes, said with slight regret: "Originally wanted to open channels with Xuanxin City, thereby sell off a portion of these spirit rice; who could have thought this kind of thing would occur."
With accumulation growing more and more, he fundamentally could not finish eating them.
Take to the Immortal Sect to sell, they would certainly Doubt.
Only put outside, the more complex the environment the more stable and secure.
As for Dongqing City?
Loose Cultivator market?
From the start Xu Zhangqing never had this idea.
That group of loose cultivators, it's not that they can't afford it, but they fundamentally Cannot Buy.
Any that reach top-grade quality, whether spirit plants or spirit rice, are all intercepted by the Wang Family who manages everything behind the scenes, as well as the Sun Family, Lei Family and other major clans.
Resources are controlled; the loose cultivators' path to rise up only leaves hunting yaoguai.
This is clearly the administrators' doing, deliberately creating free labor.
Of course, the Tianyuan Realm is so vast, places to sell are as numerous as cow hairs.
The only problem is, given the current situation, even Golden Core Stage doesn't feel safe.
Even someone as powerful as Qin Baili disappeared, and now his whereabouts are unknown.
True, Xu Zhangqing indeed likes to earn money, but staying alive is more important than anything.
The system only gave me the ability to increase lifespan, not direct invincibility.
"Take it one step at a time."
"Take it slow for now; perhaps there will be a turn of events in the future."
"After all, they are the Three Great Immortal Sects of the Tianyuan Realm; facing the Yellow Spring Alliance's offensive, they can't possibly have not a shred of resistance, right?"
Currently, Xu Zhangqing deeply knows he cannot rush.
Anyway, he has plenty of lifespan; he can afford to wait.
Even if the sky falls outside, at least there's still a Personal Space to hide in.
Therefore he scanned a circle, and seeing no problem, was just preparing to leave.
But right at this moment, he suddenly heard a crisp "Click" sound, as if something had cracked.
Xu Zhangqing let out an "Hmm," and walked toward the Ice Embryo with a startled and uncertain expression.
When he got close, he indeed saw clear cracks emerging on it.
Not many, only a few lines.
The dense Cold Qi inside seeped out along the cracks.
For some reason, Xu Zhangqing became nervous, couldn't help but take a deep breath, then leaned in to peek inside, and his pupils instantly contracted.
Inside the semi-transparent Ice Embryo was an infant, like a snow seed wrapped in cold mist.
The skin was very tender, like a shelled chicken egg.
The birth hair was extremely fine, a shallow silver-gray color, plastered against the scalp.
Eyes closed, the eyelids were pale pink.
The nose tip was small and delicate; when breathing it would spray out faint white vapor.
The lips were pinkish-white, occasionally smacking together.
Hands and feet curled up, fingers slender, nails semi-transparent.
On the back of the neck was a patch of skin the size of a fingernail; looking closely one could discover three blue dots the size of needle tips.
If one observed carefully, one would discover the whole body was covered in faint, barely-there patterns.
They looked both like ice patterns and like dragon scales, appearing quite mysterious.
Its forehead, moreover, had grown two small protrusions, bulging inside.
Seeing this scene, Xu Zhangqing's lips trembled, and only after a long while did he cry out in shock:
"Holy shit, a Dragon!
Holy shit, no ding-ding!!
Holy shit, what do I do!!!"
