Chapter 562: Setting up an array with spiritual energy!

But this was, after all, too fast.

Song Tan thought for a moment and shouted: "Dad, there's nothing down here, it's just a bit dirty. I'll clean it up first, you wait a moment."

The voice echoed in the cellar and then transmitted up in a muffled way. Song Sancheng hurriedly responded and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Tan, feeling at ease, looked around the sweet potato cellar. Unable to find any small stones from the underground walls, she simply reached into her pocket, which contained eight glass beads given by Qiao Qiao in the morning.

These were not ordinary glass beads, but beautiful ones sealed with various colors and shapes—when Song Tan was a child playing marbles, one such ball could be exchanged for five ordinary ones!

But now they were very much like street stall items, and even at street stalls, no one played marbles anymore. They came when Qiao Qiao accidentally clicked "bring one along" when buying checkers; he liked them very much.

There were nine in total; he kept only one and gave the rest to Song Tan.

At this moment, these glass beads were held in Song Tan's palm.

She took a deep breath, focused her mind on those glass beads, and slowly, she saw them gradually being entangled and wrapped by the spiritual energy rising from her palm...

She had been home for more than five months, and she had also resumed cultivation for more than five months.

Although spiritual energy in the mountains was scarce, because she cultivated incessantly and dissipated it all (secretly casting spells every night), she hadn't accumulated much spiritual energy, but her cultivation progress was still considerable.

To this day, she was finally able to slightly infiltrate spiritual energy into inanimate objects—

Such as the glass beads in front of her.

Although it was still difficult, and the effect was vastly different from before, it was at least usable.

Glass as a material was far inferior to jade.

Jade could nourish the spirit and cultivate spiritual energy; spiritual energy infiltrated into it could not only nourish the jade quality but, as long as it wasn't destroyed, could even remain for future use.

And these glass beads...

They could barely serve as a carrier, locking the spiritual energy around them with difficulty, trying to extend the retention time as much as possible.

At the very least, with spiritual energy now infiltrated into them, the glass beads didn't look any different.

But there was no other way, because for jade that could retain spiritual energy, there were requirements for the jade quality. Just for a cellar—it really wasn't worth it!

Song Tan found the orientation and finally buried the glass beads into the soil and walls with difficulty. Then, her whole body's spiritual energy was triggered, and slowly, between breaths, it seemed to gradually respond with these eight glass beads.

Song Sancheng didn't come down. If he had, he would have found that the air in the entire cellar was fresher and more pleasant than outside.

Song Tan raised her sleeve to wipe the sweat from her forehead, sighing again at the difficulty of cultivation.

After all, her sect in her previous life was an upper realm where spiritual energy was so rich it was like morning dew dripping; one realm could govern 900 middle realms.

And each middle realm could govern 3000 lower realms...

This universe was the world of cultivators.

Mount Sumeru contained mustard seeds, and mountains and seas nurtured immortal spirits.

And the spiritual energy she was exposed to now...

emmm...

It was still a little bit away from the lower realm.

It was fortunate that her spiritual roots were good and she already had cultivation experience, and now her mindset was peaceful without any extravagance, which allowed her to have this progress.

But Song Tan wouldn't think about these things now.

She just looked at the mud on her palms, untied the rope decisively, and shouted:

"Dad, I've cleaned it up! Tell them to move the wine vats over."

"Can you move them by yourself if you stay down there for a while? Should Qiao Qiao and I go down and help you later?"

It was only a hundred or so jin, and with the vat, it wasn't even two hundred. Song Tan didn't want to: "I'm stronger than you when I carry baskets."

Song Sancheng:... That wasn't just feeling sorry for his daughter!

He touched his phone to send a message, intending to return to the courtyard to move it with Qiao Qiao, when he heard Zhou Maozhu call:

"Sancheng, I'm bringing Tianyu, and Qiao Qiao, we'll move the vats over together!"

The vats were sealed airtight, with hemp ropes crisscrossing several times, and then passed through a carrying pole.

Zhou Maozhu worried that his son wouldn't be useful, so he instructed him: "You carry the middle, bend your waist if you can't carry it, I'll carry the back, and Qiao Qiao the front."

He had seen Qiao Qiao's strength; he could carry a basket of cucumbers without panting, much more useful than his son.

Putting Zhou Tianyu in the middle, he could be prepared as soon as he bent his waist, which was safer than putting him in the back.

Zhou Tianyu looked at the not-too-large vat, thinking he had also suffered hardships, but as the carrying pole pressed onto his shoulder bones, he instantly winced!

So painful, painful, painful, painful!

Before he could even cry out, he felt his shoulder lighten. He saw the vat had already been lifted by Qiao Qiao and Zhou Maozhu. He was sandwiched in the middle, only managing to follow along in a sorry state for two steps before quickly coming out, covered in dust.

Zhou Maozhu was still saying to Qiao Qiao: "Just this hundred or so jin, the two of us are enough."

"Yeah!" Qiao Qiao was full of energy: "It's very light, no need for Brother Tianyu to help."

Zhou Tianyu, rubbing his shoulder:... Very light?! Then why did it hurt so much when it pressed against his bones!

Going to the back slope didn't require going up the back mountain; one only needed to go around the house and walk a distance up the slope. Zhou Tianyu followed behind the two, appearing increasingly useless.

Until he saw Song Sancheng, who was still being polite: "Oh, Tianyu came to help too, thank you for your hard work."

This made his square face turn even redder with shame.

Until he watched Song Sancheng re-tie the vat, and then several people pulled the rope to lower it bit by bit, while shouting:

"Tantan, the wine vat is being lowered, catch it!"

"Okay!" A muffled voice echoed from below.

He widened his eyes instantly: "Song Tan is the only one down there?"

This was too reckless, letting a girl catch such a heavy thing below...

In his imagination, the heavy wine vat was lowered from high above, and a thin, weak girl was struggling to reach out and support it, suffering...

But the reality was—

"What's wrong with that?"

Song Sancheng was puzzled: "Isn't the rope pulling it? Once it lands in the cellar, can't she just untie the rope and move it?"

Although it would take some effort to move, Tantan would definitely be fine. If there was a problem, she would shout, and someone would go down to help move it!

As he spoke, everyone felt the rope loosen, and indeed heard Song Tan's voice: "It's landed, I'm untying the rope, pull me up when I call later."

Zhou Tianyu:...

Oh, right, he realized belatedly: when a vat enters a cellar, it can just land, it doesn't need someone to support it...

Damn it! Did he forget to bring his brain today? Why did he keep losing face?!

And in the cellar, Song Tan untied the rope, hugged the vat with both hands, and easily placed it in the corner of the cellar.

She looked around, picked up the hemp rope and put it on herself, while pondering: with the glass beads simply setting up an array, this cellar would store things for longer from now on, making it easier to store vegetables in autumn and winter!

After all, the vegetable fields that could build greenhouses in winter were limited, and now, just in case (mainly because there were too many big eaters at home), making everything into dried vegetables was also very troublesome! ===== CHAPTER 563 =====
