Chapter 635: Peaceful Years (1200+ Added)

More than three years later.

Yangliu Courtyard.

Aaron slowly finished his cultivation and glanced at his Attribute Panel:

【Name: Fang Yu (Aaron)】

【Talent: Immortality】

【Age: 362】

【Realm: Foundation Establishment Mid-stage】

【Cultivation Method: Mingyu Art, 12th Layer (63/2000)】

Furthermore, sitting in the main seat was an old man with a full head of white hair and a face covered in wrinkles as deep as gullies.

After finishing breakfast, Aaron tucked a jade bamboo pipe into his waistband, strolled leisurely out of the courtyard, greeted the members of the Li Family he recognized, and arrived at the back of Xiaoyue Mountain.

Wisps of white mist emerged, gathered in mid-air, and began to rain down in fine, silken threads.

Aaron spread his arms, enjoying the service of four gentle little hands.

"Master!"

'It's just that, given the Li Family's financial resources, I think it's a bit doubtful they can auction for a Foundation Establishment Pill...'

After finishing his work, Aaron would return to his own courtyard to either cultivate or play some fun games with the maidservants; in any case, he was just a shut-in, never prying, never wandering around, and never meddling in other people's business...

This patch of rain clouds covered three or four mu of land, causing the nearby spirit farmers to mutter with envy: "Being spirit farmers, a Great Perfection expert is just different. We exhaust our Dharma Power just to water one mu of land, while he can water three or four... The work that takes us several days, he can finish in one. I don't know how leisurely and comfortable his life is!"

What Aaron liked most was this aspect of the "newbie village."

Looking down from here, one could see terraced fields like stairs, with spirit grain planted upon them.

Two maidservants, one in red and one in green, came up to greet him; one had a plump bosom, the other a willow-like waist, and their expressions were full of the charm of mature women.

All the cultivators present had their expressions change drastically.

"What? The Black Blood Sect is invading?"

'However, one should not concern oneself with matters outside one's own position; this has nothing to do with me...'

Just then, a shout of praise came from the side; it was Li Ziqian, the Li Family's miscellaneous affairs steward: "Old Huang, your Spring Breeze Turns to Rain Technique is truly performed to the point of Chushen Ruohua."

Aaron sat on a blue stone nearby, pulled out his pipe, and slowly added tobacco and lit it...

Well, Shishu and Shihua had been sent away by him to get married a year ago.

"I just want to find a place to cultivate in peace, why is it so difficult?"

Although these maidservants were all mortal women, Yihong and Yicui were different; it was said they were from a side branch of the Li Family and had a more noble background.

"Sigh... We spirit farmers all farm for the main family. Since you all say so, then let's do it."

Aaron finished his work and, after smoking his water pipe, was tapping it against the stone as usual when Li Ziqian came over to notify him: "The Head of the Family requests your presence!"

From this, one could also see that the Li Family was gradually beginning to trust the "Old Huang" persona that Aaron was playing.

"This Xiaoyue Mountain Spirit Vein is indeed far worse than Sanshan Peak... Fortunately, it's still better than the turtle-paced progress of the mortal world. According to my estimates, it will only take a hundred years to reach the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage!"

For Aaron, a hundred years... really isn't long!

"However... I get the feeling that this Li Family Foundation Establishment cultivator won't live much longer; it looks like his time is up... Can the future of the Li Family still be peaceful?"

As for the Li Family potentially encountering a great disaster or being caught off guard, he was not afraid at all!

Because Aaron was certain that even if the entire Li Family attacked together, they couldn't hurt a single hair on his head!

And all of the Li Family's enemies combined were certainly not much stronger than the Li Family, so they couldn't do anything to him at all!

Aaron stood up slowly and continued his work.

Could it be that a mere small Foundation Establishment family would warrant a Golden Core old monster coming to exterminate them personally?

"It's just practice makes perfect... I am not skilled in combat; I only know how to tend to a few spirit fields."

The current Immortal Cultivation World of the Lin Kingdom was still peaceful, with not much killing, so the main task of Aaron, a Guest Elder, was to tend to these spirit fields.

Moreover, the Qingding Sect would inevitably use the mobilization order to intentionally deplete the strength of the Lin Kingdom's cultivation families, small sects, and loose cultivators.

"Yihong, Yicui... come serve your master as he washes up."

"Oh?"

However, this matter soon became relevant to him.

He sighed and walked out of the cultivation room.

Aaron patrolled the area; he already had plenty of experience in how to plant spirit rice. He first used some minor spells to kill the pests, then performed the Spring Breeze Turns to Rain Technique.

"Good!"

"Spring Breeze Turns to Rain, strike!"

When he stood straight, he discovered that not only were the main branch, the second branch, the third branch, the fourth branch... and the ninth branch of the Li Family all present, but even many Guest Elders had come, which made him feel even more apprehensive.

This was also the reason why he had gained the Li Family's trust in just a few years; after all, spies and moles simply didn't act like this!

"Harvest early?"

Aaron frowned, exhaled a puff of smoke, and tapped his pipe against the nearby blue stone. Because he had been tapping it there for over three years, there was already a clear indentation: "This will result in a loss of harvest; killing the goose to get the eggs... how can they do such a thing?"

On this day.

After everyone had arrived, Li Ruyu spoke directly:

"I won't say any more than necessary... News has come from the Qingding Sect... The Black Blood Sect is about to launch a major invasion. We are ordered to prepare immediately to respond to the mobilization order!"

In reality, he was talking to himself in his heart: 'The Li Family wants me to increase my workload... In the past, this would have at least been rewarded with a few Spirit Stones. They actually saved that, only saying they would record my merit... It seems this family is tightening its belt, preparing to cultivate a Foundation Establishment cultivator.'

"Sigh... The family is in urgent need of Spirit Stones, there's no other way. This still depends on you, Old Huang, to cast more Spirit Rain; every bit helps. I will definitely record your merit," Li Ziqian said sincerely.

Furthermore, they really did pay a large dowry; besides gold and silver, there were also Spirit Stones and pills! Basically, they returned the offerings the Li Family had given over the past two years.

This reportedly stirred up a storm among the Li Family servants; when Aaron went to reselect his maids, he was practically dazzled by the choices, and in the end, these two women stood out.

After all, in ancient times, a woman of twenty was considered somewhat old; one could not delay them.

As for the Li Family's own Spirit Medicine Garden? That was not a place Aaron could interfere with at present.

Throughout the history of the Immortal Cultivation World, which great war has not resulted in mountains of corpses and a Blood Sea?

They cultivate and seek Taoism to pursue Changsheng, not to die early, so naturally, they loathe great wars.

Aaron acted as if he were startled and hurriedly bowed.

This was normal, after all, that Li Ruyu truly looked as if his limit was not far off.

"Greetings, Senior!"

Hmm, he had quite the air of a certain character from a television show in his past life who said, "I am not good at running."

Li Ziqian also squatted down on the side with a grin to check the fertility of the Spirit Field, showing none of the reserve of a Qi Refining cultivator: "Old Huang... the Head of the Family has ordered that this batch of Spirit Fields must be harvested early."

Aaron tucked his pipe into his waistband and followed behind Li Ziqian to the Li Family's council hall, where he discovered many Li Family cultivators were present.

'Is war starting again? I wonder why the Black Blood Sect has such increased confidence this time?'

Aaron muttered to himself in his heart: 'All things are impermanent... the Large Intestine wraps the Small Intestine... why is it so hard to have a peaceful life?'
