Protagonist:

Xu Changqing

Squeak squeak~

The noisy cicada cries rang out from overhead from time to time.

Xu Changqing leaned against the Yang Shu, a green weed clamped between his teeth.

He bit down, and a bitter astringent taste instantly spread through his mouth.

Yet he not only didn't spit it out, but instead savored it carefully.

Wangwang sat crouched in front, head tilted back, eyes frantically signaling.

Xu Changqing saw this and lazily raised his left hand, placing it above its head, but didn't lower it, instead keeping a distance of about three inches, pretending to stroke it.

Out of instinct and trust, Wangwang narrowed its eyes, revealing an expression of enjoyment.

Even its tail began wagging left and right, revealing its inner joy.

However, the happiness lasted no more than three seconds before it suddenly felt something was off.

Master was clearly using his hand to stroke, so why was there not a shred of sensation?

That pleasure from scalp and fur being brushed against surprisingly didn't appear.

Carrying doubt, it turned its head to look back.

Xu Changqing still maintained the stroking posture, looking like there wasn't any problem at all.

Instantly, Wangwang began to doubt itself.

Was its getting-up posture incorrect?

Was it because it hadn't eaten its fill just now?

Was it sleepy?

In its tiny head were nothing but huge question marks.

Right at this moment, it inadvertently looked up, and instantly went dumbfounded.

Xu Changqing's palm had the stroking motion, but fundamentally hadn't come down.

"Woof woof!"

Wangwang, realizing it had been tricked, barked angrily.

Xu Changqing grinned: "Hahaha... stupid dog!"

One person and one dog teased each other for a while.

Suddenly, Xu Changqing sensed the spiritual energy in his Qi Sea gradually depleting.

He knew today's Green Lotus Domain cultivation would be ending.

Therefore he rose from under the Yang Shu's shade and walked step by step toward the Second Grade Spirit Field.

In summer, the high temperature's scorching sun coupled with lack of moisture.

The Lingzhi would enter a listless state.

In human terms, that is laziness, lacking energy.

Simply watering helps, but not much.

This is a normal situation, belonging to a stage that must be experienced in summer.

Even the mutated Lingzhi under Stone Mountain, although they hadn't undergone the sun's scorching, would still have this state appear, only the symptoms were slightly lighter.

Fortunately, because of the Green Lotus Domain's help, these Lingzhi don't need a long maturation time.

Judging by the current situation, roughly two months or so and they can be harvested.

Xu Changqing reached out a hand, the Companion Green Lotus flew back into his hand, and he couldn't help but say: "This period of time, almost every day I exhausted the spiritual power in my Qi Sea, didn't expect my strength to actually increase."

Compared to when he had just broken through to Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

The spiritual power in his Qi Sea had already increased from one drop to five drops.

Whether quantity, quality, concentration, etc., all had a certain degree of improvement.

Right now, Xu Changqing's longing for realm, was no longer as intense as during the Qi Refining Stage.

The only "archenemy" Zhang Er had been dealt with.

And afterward the Immortal Sect's and Zhang Family's investigations also came to nothing.

Now as long as he farms well, everything will fall into place naturally.

At this time, a vibration came from the Small Storage Bag.

Xu Changqing swiftly took out a Communication Talisman flashing with bright light.

"Hello?"

"Junior Brother Xu, did you forget something?"

"Forgot what?"

"You promised back then to help me harvest 【Cai Lan】 ah."

"Not just forgot, it's been over half a year already."

"The Cai Lan is already mature, are you coming or not?"

"Fine, I'll head over in a bit!"

Afterward, Xu Changqing put the Communication Talisman into the Small Storage Bag.

If not for Senior Brother Li's reminder, this matter he would have long forgotten.

Staying home all day, tending to his one mu and three fen of land.

Sometimes, he really didn't feel time passing so quickly.

Glancing at the sundial, it was the Wei hour of the afternoon.

Equivalent to three in the afternoon of his previous life.

Neither early nor late.

Xu Zhangqing did not set out immediately; instead, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

Going now, he would finish cutting the 【Cai Lan】 before dark.

If he went later, it would be dark by the time he finished.

By then, Senior Brother Li surely wouldn't ignore even dinner.

Therefore, Xu Zhangqing kept teasing the dog and catching chickens, deliberately delaying until the Shen hour, before controlling the damaged paper crane to fly toward Li Sancai's spirit field.

By the time he arrived, the sun was already slanting westward.

The temperature was no longer scorching.

Li Sancai's place was not much different from before.

Two spirit fields of the same size were adjacent.

One side planted spirit rice.

The other side planted Cai Lan.

However, among the spirit rice on the left, a golden mutant spirit rice was very eye-catching.

Obviously it was the one Xu Zhangqing had sold back then.

It seemed to be well cared for.

Even plumper than before.

Even, to prevent the ordinary spirit rice around from snatching the mutant spirit rice's nutrients.

Li Sancai had even cleared a small area.

The previously planted spirit rice was all pulled up by the roots.

"Why did you come so late?" Li Sancai was very puzzled.

Xu Zhangqing had long prepared an excuse: "Senior Brother knows, I raised a yellow dog at home; this fellow wandered around everywhere, and I searched for a long time before finding him."

After listening, Li Sancai had no doubts and urged: "Then don't delay, start quickly."

"Alright." Xu Zhangqing took out a sickle and walked forward.

Still the old rule, first carefully sense it.

Previously he had activated Chang Qing Jue.

But now, spiritual sense was more useful.

Not only fine and meticulous, it could also serve as exercise.

Of course, most importantly, it could still sense information.

【Cai Lan】

【Mature】

【No Damage】

【Spirit Qi Sufficient】

【Today Quality】

【Two Days Later Supreme】

If Xu Zhangqing remembered correctly, last time helping with the harvest.

It seemed to be 【Three Days Later Supreme】.

That is to say, over this half year's time.

Li Sancai's Chang Qing Jue or wood spirit cultivation technique should have improved again.

It seemed the day of harvesting supreme Cai Lan was not far off.

【Harvested "Quality Cai Lan" 1 plant, Lifespan +5 days】

【Harvested "Quality Cai Lan" 1 plant, Lifespan +5 days】

【Harvested "Quality Cai Lan" 1 plant, Lifespan +5 days】

With the passage of time, the sun's light became increasingly dim and yellow.

Xu Zhangqing not only did not hurry, but deliberately slowed the pace.

Until only the faint afterglow of the sun remained in the west, then he harvested the last Cai Lan.

This time the lifespan gained was 【5575 days】, a few days more than last time.

But overall it was still 15 years, not much different.

Now, total lifespan had reached 【days】.

That is 348 years.

One must know, a cultivator who had reached the Zhi Ji Yuan Man realm.

Lifespan was only two hundred plus years.

Although wood spirit root cultivators lived somewhat longer.

At most around three hundred years.

Therefore, Xu Zhangqing in terms of lifespan alone had already surpassed all Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.

"Finished?" Li Sancai's voice came from the doorway of the stone house.

Xu Zhangqing walked step by step from the spirit field onto the spirit field ridge, then replied: "Done."

Li Sancai beckoned: "Then come over and eat."

Xu Zhangqing's eyes brightened instantly.

He had delayed for so long, wasn't it precisely for this dinner?

However, upon entering the living room and seeing the food on the stone table.

His whole person froze.

On the dining table there was only a large basin of porridge boiled from Spirit Rice.

A pot of Second-grade Spirit Rice Wine taken from here by him.

There wasn't even a single plate of pickled vegetables!!!
