Chapter 230: Ding, congratulations host on reaching the first stage of cultivation, reward

This familiar fluctuation of spiritual power made Lu Yuan instantly stop his steps.

Lu Yuan was extremely familiar with this spiritual power fluctuation.

During this period, Lu Yuan practiced the breathing technique according to his wife's cultivation method, and his breathing technique had already reached the sixth stage.

In another ten days or so, he would definitely reach the seventh stage.

Anyway, Lu Yuan's path of cultivation, under his wife's guidance, was now on the right track.

His perception and control of spiritual power had all improved.

This familiar fluctuation of spiritual power was just like the spiritual power fluctuation he condensed when cultivating at night.

It was even denser and purer than the spiritual power he had refined into his body at night.

While Lu Yuan stood at the doorway with a look of astonishment, Third Uncle walked over and said with a smile:

"Son-in-law, why did you come today?"

Lu Yuan was taken aback, looking at Third Uncle and said:

"I have nothing to do today, so I came over to take a look."

Having said that, Lu Yuan went straight to the point, took a hoe, and dug up all the potatoes in the field according to where the spiritual power was surging.

There were sixteen potato plants in total, distributed at various positions in this greenhouse.

These spiritual powers were all emanating from these sixteen potato plants.

And these potatoes… were no longer ordinary potatoes!!!

The refined spiritual power contained in these potatoes was extremely terrifying.

Moreover, the spiritual power contained in these potatoes could be directly cultivated into the body by a cultivator.

As mentioned before, the spiritual power of heaven and earth cannot be directly used by cultivators.

Because the spiritual power of heaven and earth contains bad things like hostile energy, gloomy energy, and declining energy, directly cultivating it into the body would cause cultivators to go berserk or suffer demonic deviation.

Therefore, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth needs to be refined by cultivators themselves before it can be absorbed into the body.

Then, does this world have any spiritual energy that does not require cultivators to refine it themselves and can directly enter the body?

Of course there is, for example… the spiritual pills and elixirs of the cultivation world, which, after being refined by pill masters, have already purified away all the bad energies of heaven and earth.

Therefore, cultivators can directly take these pills to enhance themselves.

Of course, these pills that come out of the alchemy furnace, although they have purified away the bad energies of heaven and earth,

but they also have added a kind of fierce energy from the furnace.

Therefore, these spiritual pills and elixirs also cannot be eaten in excess, otherwise the cultivator's body cannot withstand it.

The more potent the pill, the more fierce energy it contains, and the less the cultivator can bear it.

Of course, taking such a pill once in a while poses no problem at all.

Besides spiritual pills and elixirs,

there is also something else, namely the divine flowers and herbs of heaven and earth.

In other words, they are heavenly treasures and earthly riches!

These things are completely nourished by heaven and earth.

These things are even more powerful than the spiritual pills and elixirs of the cultivation world!

The most impressive point is that these divine flowers and herbs, heavenly treasures and earthly riches, have no drawbacks whatsoever.

Just eat them, eat as much as you can, and the spiritual power in these heavenly treasures will directly enter your body.

As long as your aptitude is up to par, like your wife's, you can fully absorb them.

This is truly eating yourself into a fat person in one bite.

Of course, most people are not like your wife.

Most people are like you, with average aptitude.

For example, someone like Lu Yuan with average aptitude can also eat them heartily, but his body cannot absorb them, so the spiritual power in these heavenly treasures is all lost.

Therefore, the cultivation world usually divides some heavenly treasures into many portions and then uses them to refine pills.

Having said all that…

The point is coming.

The sixteen potato plants before Lu Yuan are all equivalent to divine flowers and herbs, heavenly treasures and earthly riches!!

Of course, Lu Yuan has no idea what level of heavenly treasure these belong to.

After all, Lu Yuan doesn't even know how the realms of the cultivation world are divided.

But the problem now is…

Why did these potatoes become heavenly treasures?!!!

Why?

This??

This was fine…… how did it just……

While Lu Yuan was full of astonishment, Third Uncle beside him was flipping through his notebook while looking at Lu Yuan with an expression of admiration and said:

"Son-in-law, your memory is really good; you haven't come for such a long time, yet you still remember which one you originally planted."

Ha??

After Third Uncle said that, Lu Yuan looked a bit dazed at Third Uncle beside him.

And Third Uncle, regarding the label of "son-in-law" for his own family, was also a bit confused, and involuntarily blinked his eyes and said:

"What's wrong, son-in-law??

After Third Uncle said that, Lu Yuan had a dazed expression and said:

"Are these all the ones I planted?"

Third Uncle nodded repeatedly and said:

"Yes, absolutely correct, son-in-law, look, after you planted them back then, I recorded it, there are numbers on them, these sixteen plants are all the ones you yourself planted."

Third Uncle, while speaking, handed this little notebook to Lu Yuan to look at.

Lu Yuan didn't need to look, because at that time he had indeed planted a dozen or so, but he forgot the exact number.

If that's the case…

Hiss~~

Lu Yuan sucked in a breath of cool air……

Then… then are these all because of my relation??

Because I planted them, therefore……

So I can grow heavenly treasures??

No…… what the heck is this based on!!

Although Lu Yuan knows these things became heavenly treasures because he planted them.

But Lu Yuan has no idea why.

He thought back and forth for a while……

Could it be……

Is it the 'Dao Heart'?

Lu Yuan suspected the Dao Heart had no other reason; the only reason was that the only mystical cultivation-related thing on him was the Dao Heart.

Could it be that after Lu Yuan obtained the Dao Heart, he thus gained these special abilities??

Being able to turn ordinary potatoes into super heavenly treasures??

If that's how it is……

Good fellow…… what cultivation is there left to practice at home from now on!!

From now on Lu Yuan will frantically plant potatoes; he and his wife squatting at home eating potatoes every day will also be invincible in the world!!

This ability is too heaven-defying!!

These are heavenly treasures!!

What are heavenly treasures? They are super rare, super powerful.

In this world, due to some coincidence, due to some extremely low-probability event, a spiritual stalk grows.

Then this spiritual stalk undergoes hundreds of years, thousands, even tens of thousands of years before finally becoming a heavenly treasure.

Now this is quite convenient.

Lu Yuan can now directly grow them.

Moreover, if it's really about this growth pattern of potatoes……

Then wouldn't it be possible to harvest in just three months??

This time…… this time the system's cheat is a bit huge!!

While Lu Yuan was dazed, Third Uncle beside him softly called out to his own son-in-law.

From just now, Third Uncle could see that his son-in-law was acting strangely.

He would occasionally space out.

And when Lu Yuan came to his senses, looking at Third Uncle he hastily said:

"Eh? Third Uncle?"

At this moment Third Uncle, feeling a bit uneasy, said:

"Son-in-law, am I doing this work wrong?"

Lu Yuan startled, realizing his earlier strange behavior might have frightened Third Uncle, he immediately grinned and said:

"Nothing, Third Uncle you're doing great, I just got up early this morning and I'm not feeling well."

Hearing his son-in-law's words, Third Uncle finally relaxed a little.

This son-in-law transferred me from the village to an iron rice bowl position here in Huangcheng; that's really not easy, I can't let him down, can I?

Having come to his senses, Lu Yuan directly gathered up the sixteen potatoes in one arm, not minding the dirt, held them in his embrace and said to Third Uncle:

"Third Uncle, I'll take the potatoes to the canteen of the bureau, I'll eat them here at noon, and at noon we two will have a drink."

Regardless of what he had just pondered, regardless of what he had just seen,

he had to eat it to feel whether it really was like that.

Third Uncle startled, then quickly laughed and said:

"Alright, I'll finish today's records and come over."

Immediately, Lu Yuan nodded, walked to the corner of the greenhouse, and put all these potatoes into a bamboo basket.

Finally he tied it to the rear seat of his vehicle, then rode toward the Agriculture Bureau.

When Lu Yuan returned to the Agriculture Bureau, it was already past eleven in the morning.

The canteen of the Agriculture Bureau had already prepared rice.

Lu Yuan's potatoes needed no special preparation; just roast or steam them, sprinkle some chili powder and salt, and they're ready.

Upon entering the Agriculture Bureau, Lu Yuan happened to see Lin Fusheng.

Lin Fusheng should have just returned; Lu Yuan hurriedly greeted him.

And when Lin Fusheng saw Lu Yuan, his face immediately broke into a smile as he walked over and said:

"Hey, great-grandson, why do you have time to come to the bureau? Aren't you busy with that school?"

Lu Yuan grinned and said:

"Today there's no class at school; since I have time, I might as well come take a look."

Lin Fusheng blinked, then understood what was going on; today the Cabinet and the Three Assists are jointly giving lectures, so it's normal for Lu Yuan's school to close for a day.

Lu Yuan looked at Lin Fusheng and asked curiously:

"But, sir, you're not supposed to be at the Guozijian; why are you back now?"

Lin Fusheng then waved his hand and said:

"They give two lectures a day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon; our bureau's people just attend the morning one, no need to go in the afternoon."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded; before he could say anything, Lin Fusheng leaned in close again, speaking mysteriously:

"Yuan, this really isn't something you want to go to, sir; it's an order from the Bureau, and you have no choice, sir,"

"After all, you're part of the Cabinet; once the invitation is issued, you have to go check it out, right?"

Listening to Lin Fusheng's words, Lu Yuan blinked and chuckled:

"Sir, I didn't say anything."

Lin Fusheng, meanwhile, raised his eyebrows and said:

"Even if you don't say it, sir, you know it yourself—you're now a bureau director, sir."

"Although our position isn't high enough to attend court meetings, we've now managed to get into the Bureau, counting as senior staff."

"Sir, you know your relationship with the Cabinet isn't great, and today the Cabinet's lecture is aimed at you."

"But rest assured, the Bureau still strongly supports you; many of its staff ended up there because they had no other choice."

Hearing Lin Fusheng's words, Lu Yuan laughed helplessly:

"Oh dear, sir, this is really no problem."

Seeing Lu Yuan say that, Lin Fusheng also relaxed; he was about to say a couple more things, but then noticed the potatoes in the back seat of Lu Yuan's car.

After glancing twice, Lin Fusheng asked curiously:

"What are you doing with these potatoes you dug up? They don't look fully grown yet, do they?"

Lu Yuan blinked, then grinned:

"Well… they can be eaten, so I was thinking of fixing something to eat; sir, how about sharing my potatoes at noon??"

Lin Fusheng blinked, then looked at Lu Yuan and raised an eyebrow:

"Hey, you've finally come to the Agriculture Bureau—why eat potatoes? The cafeteria has good food today; let's eat well, why bother with potatoes?"

Lu Yuan blinked, then grinned:

"We're used to eating big fish and meat at home; this is just a sudden craving for roasted potatoes with chili powder."

Lin Fusheng blinked at Lu Yuan's words.

That's also true.

Others saying that would be bragging, but Lin Fusheng knows Lu Yuan absolutely isn't talking nonsense.

Every time Lin Fusheng goes to Lu Yuan's house for drinks, Lu Yuan's home truly lacks nothing to eat; whenever he goes, the table is full of meat and dishes.

Immediately, Lin Fusheng nodded and said:

"Sure, give these potatoes to the back kitchen; tell them what you want them to make. Anyway, we can't get out of drinking with the boss today."

Lu Yuan then smiled at Lin Fusheng and said:

"Sure."

Having said that, Lu Yuan suddenly looked at Lin Fusheng curiously and said:

"Um, sir, you really aren't going to eat the potatoes?"

Lu Yuan pondered……

Why not… give Lin Fusheng one to try??

If Lin Fusheng eats it and has a reaction…

Does that mean… Lu Yuan could also give it to Gu Qingwan?

Could also give it to Su Changliang, Gu Lie, and all the familiar people around him?

If they eat it, setting aside whether they can cultivate, at the very least it would prolong life and improve health, right??

After Lin Fusheng stared for a moment, he then waved his hand and laughed:

"Our bureau's cafeteria has plenty of good food; sir, you definitely won't eat potatoes."

Hearing Lin Fusheng say that, Lu Yuan grinned but didn't say anything.

Fine, if you don't want to eat, then don't.

Lu Yuan also feared these cultivation-world things; what if an ordinary person ate them and had a problem—what then?

Let someone else try it; Lin Fusheng is my boss, after all—I dare not mess around.

Immediately, Lu Yuan took two potatoes from the basket, handed them to the person nearby, and instructed to just roast these two potatoes, nothing else.

Lin Fusheng, standing nearby, saw that and didn't take it to heart, merely grinning:

"Only home‑grown ones taste good."

Lu Yuan chuckled, said nothing, and followed Lin Fusheng to the office.

After Uncle Three finished his work, he also came to the office.

Uncle Three often eats meals with Lin Fusheng, after all, because of his connection to Lu Yuan.

Moreover, when eating at Lu Yuan's house, the two of them often sit side by side.

Soon, Lu Yuan's potatoes arrived.

The cook at the Agriculture Bureau is also skilled.

The roasted potatoes look great, especially with a layer of chili powder sprinkled on top—just looking makes one's mouth water.

Even ignoring the spiritual power inside the potatoes, Lu Yuan still wants to eat them.

Lu Yuan immediately picked up the scalding hot potato and took a big bite.

As Lu Yuan chewed twice, the potato instantly turned into a strong surge of spiritual energy that filled Lu Yuan's whole body.

Before Lu Yuan could react.
