Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

"Hey~ you haven't taught me how to use the array yet!" Seeing this situation for the first time, Xu Zhangqing was speechless on the spot.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly.

Before Han Xin landed, he controlled the surrounding weeds to grow wildly, transforming them into vines that propped her up.

Then... he tossed her into the flying shuttle beside him.

Joking aside, how could someone reeking of alcohol be allowed into the house?

"Dog, come!" Xu Zhangqing called toward the dog kennel on the left side.

Soon, Wangwang ran quickly to his feet.

Smiling obsequiously.

Rubbing against him with its body.

Xu Zhangqing pointed at Han Xin, who had passed out drunk in the flying shuttle, and said: "Watch her. If she makes any movement, or if anyone approaches, remember to call me."

Wangwang blinked its eyes, looking as if it understood but didn't.

Then, Xu Zhangqing took the convenient array and walked toward Stone Mountain on the left side.

Wangwang was curious about the person in the flying shuttle and approached cautiously.

Just as it started, a pungent sour smell surged over.

As everyone knows, a dog's sense of smell is "40 times" that of the human race.

What's more, this was a spirit beast.

Smelling this pungent odor, it immediately dry-heaved a few times.

Then, covering its nose with its front paws, it staggered backward a few steps.

Curiosity was gone from its eyes, replaced by intense disdain.

On the other side, Xu Zhangqing had already arrived at the foot of Stone Mountain.

He did not install the portable array 【Concealment Array】 right away.

Instead, he went around and around.

Looking here and there.

After estimating the approximate range, he then dug a small hole in the middle of the grotto passage, turning over the dirt below.

Then he placed the 【Concealment Array】 worth 50 middle-grade spirit stones inside.

Of course, this wasn't over yet.

Because Han Xin hadn't explained how to use this jade plate, he tried to activate it.

For example, by infusing his own wood spirit power.

Although it was absorbed, it didn't start; obviously, it was useless.

Suddenly, Xu Zhangqing saw a depression in the middle of the jade plate and mused: "Could it be that to activate the 【Concealment Array】, one must place a spirit stone inside?"

Immediately, he took out a low-grade spirit stone and placed it on top.

Whoosh.

The jade plate produced a powerful suction, directly grabbing this low-grade spirit stone and beginning to absorb the trace spiritual energy inside it.

At the same time, an invisible aura spread out from here as its core.

Standing within it, Xu Zhangqing could still smell the fragrance emitted by the mutant spirit rice.

He thought for a moment, turned around, and walked out of the grotto.

When he came outside, leaving the range covered by the 【Concealment Array】.

Sure enough, the unique fragrance of the mutant spirit rice was gone.

Even at the entrance of the grotto, it couldn't be smelled.

Unless one drilled into it.

For this, Xu Zhangqing had already taken precautions.

He had previously blocked the entrance of the grotto with stones.

He would only move them aside when he himself needed to enter.

Actually, he wasn't originally in a hurry, after all, arrays were quite expensive.

What's more, his place was very remote.

Usually, besides Hu Bugui, only people came when it rained.

Nai He, Zhang Xue had been coming too frequently lately, so he feared the one-in-ten-thousand chance.

After confirming the array had been activated and there was no problem, Xu Zhangqing drilled back into it.

The low-grade spirit stone absorbed on the 【Concealment Array】 jade plate consumed its internal spiritual energy very slowly.

Looking at it, it should be able to last for several days.

This made Xu Zhangqing very satisfied.

After all, he was reluctant to use middle-grade spirit stones, but he still had several dozen low-grade spirit stones.

If needed, he could just sell some spirit rice.

Now, the low-grade spirit stones he had stored added up could last a year without a problem.

Afterward, Xu Zhangqing buried the jade plate along with the spirit stone in dirt.

Proceeding step by step deeper into the grotto, he once again saw one hundred stalks of Mutant Spirit Rice.

Although they could not absorb much sunlight.

But with nutrient-rich Black Soil, plus occasional spring water irrigation, and the Green Lotus Domain's "Bai Miao".

Currently the growth is very good, every single stalk is extremely robust.

The Mutant Mother Rice still has nine panicles.

The Mutant Child Rice all have six panicles.

Because they are still in the growth stage, the rice grains inside are a bit small.

Looking at them, they seem like grains of fine golden sand.

Currently, the Mutant Mother Rice:

【Many Children Much Fortune】

【Spirit Qi Cultivated】

【Domain One Zhang】

Basically no change.

Estimated, even if there is change it would need a very, very long time.

And the Mutant Child Rice:

【Not Mature】

【No Damage】

【Spirit Qi Sufficient】

Currently also no problems, still growing.

Everything settled, Xu Zhangqing turned and left the grotto with satisfaction.

Waiting until outside, he immediately used stones to block the entrance.

Doing so, the entrance was gone, and the scent was also gone.

Even if someone passed by, they would not suspect there was something inside.

The only thing to worry about might be a Spirit Beast with keen smell like Wangwang.

……

……

Time flashed by until the latter half of the night.

Feeling her nose a bit itchy, Han Xin slowly opened her eyes.

Meeting her gaze was a brilliant galaxy, countless stars twinkling.

Occasionally one could also see fleeting meteors.

The huge Moon released cold moonlight.

As if a giant's eye, indifferently gazing upon the lower world.

By her ears came bursts of insect chirps and frog croaks, adding a touch of vitality to the silent night.

Only then did Han Xin's gaze slowly move down, looking at her itchy nose.

Unexpectedly, there was actually a firefly perched on her nose tip.

The yellow-green light was not dazzling, on the contrary extremely dreamlike.

"So it's already evening."

"Am I sleeping in the wilderness?"

"Wait... wilderness?!"

In the cross-eyed gaze from looking at the firefly, there now contained endless anger.

She immediately shook her head, driving away the firefly perched quietly atop.

Then she climbed up from her own Flying Shuttle, quickly looking toward the Wooden House opposite the Spirit Field.

The dog slept.

The chicken slept.

The person also slept.

A stretch of quiet tranquility.

Han Xin instantly cursed: "You heartless Xu Zhangqing, Nong specially ran over from the Spiritual Vein to deliver a Portable Array, yet you actually let Nong sleep in the wilderness?"

Soon, the window of the opposite Wooden House was pushed open, Xu Zhangqing poked his head out, rested both hands on the window sill, and laughed: "Men and women should not hand things directly to each other."

Hearing this, Han Xin gritted her teeth: "You... you must compensate me!"

Xu Zhangqing blinked: "Compensate what?"

Han Xin blurted out: "New Spirit Rice Wine!"

Although she only drank it once, she still remembers the taste now.

The sweet taste of the wine water seemed to still linger in her mouth.

As soon as she thought of it, her gluttony was hooked.

Subconsciously she swallowed her saliva.

"Look at your feet." Xu Zhangqing had anticipated this long ago.

Han Xin looked down, discovered a Wine Pouch, and instantly excitedly picked it up.

But the moment she felt the weight, her face fell.

Judging by her many years of Drunkard hand-feel, the new wine in this Wine Pouch was at most ten jin.

Xu Zhangqing didn't wait for the other party to flare up, immediately explaining: "Although this New Yellow Rice Wine has higher quality, the yield is a bit low, I myself am reluctant to drink it."

Han Xin hummed a few times, then grinned and said, "That's more like it."

Immediately, she opened the cork of the wine pouch.

Glug~

After gulping down a big mouthful of New Yellow Rice Wine, her whole person felt exceptionally refreshed.

Xu Changqing saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but shake his head and say, "You'd better go back early."

Han Xin put down the wine pouch, eyes staring fixedly at Xu Changqing inside the wooden house across the Spirit Field, eyes filled with greed, licking her red moist lips as she fiercely said, "I really want to tie you, brat, back to the Cave Abode and have you brew wine for Nong every day!!!"
