Indeed, quite good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft! What are you talking about?!” Lu Se spat blood—every word Nai Ge Li Si said he understood individually, but together he only caught “two-handed sword.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m describing the sword’s forging technique. Look, dragon-grain steel as the base, silver threads woven in, these magic runes aren’t carved—they’re raised, feel them, all silver threads, soil-coated and forged. See the soil pattern? Wavy, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gem enhancement—can you identify this gem? Wind elemental gem. The first strike minimizes wind element resistance, maximizing wind-piercing efficiency. Plus, piercing enchantment—excellent at piercing magical shields. You didn’t see it earlier, but that sword saint pierced straight through two layers of the mage’s shields.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sss… sss… sss…” As Nai Ge Li Si spoke, Lu Se sucked in air: “Identify? I’ve never even heard of such a gem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now you know how poor you are?” Nai Ge Li Si chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A native from a barren plane had difficulty understanding the luxury of nobles and swordsmen from the Prime Material Plane. In Lu Se’s view, swordsmen from the Prime Material Plane weren’t that impressive—maybe they ate ten beets a meal? He never imagined a single sword could be so extravagantly crafted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This one… this one… can you give it to me?” Lu Se twisted his fingers, hesitantly asking Ange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ange nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Se burst out joyfully: “My lord, you’re too kind! I vow to serve you unto death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nai Ge Li Si smiled: “You’re getting lucky, kid. This sword could buy a small city.” Even the smallest city had over ten thousand people and brick-and-stone walls; without walls and ten thousand residents, it was just a village or town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Tie Re could wound the Grand Mage despite being surrounded by followers—often, a rich person’s strength wasn’t in themselves, but in their gear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nai Ge Li Si picked up the mage’s Explosive Ring and tossed it straight to Ange: “Explosive Ring. Stores one Level Six Explosive Spell. Just channel magic into it. Perfect for someone like you with infinite magic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ange nodded, slipped the ring onto his finger—but without flesh, the ring slipped right off. He had to wrap something around the finger bone to secure it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anti-Magic Armor. Reduces magical attack damage. This size only fits Lu Se.” Armor was troublesome—it had sizes; too big or too small was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forcing it on sometimes didn’t protect at all—it hindered movement. How many poor swordsmen died in battle because their ill-fitting armor got snagged on chain links?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Se joyfully took the armor, wiped it with cloth, then put it on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nai Ge Li Si sighed at the chest damage: “Find a dwarf craftsman later to patch it. Just pluck one gem off the armor—it’ll cover the gap.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Se paused, touched the damaged spot, and replied: “That reminds me of a proverb: milk a cow to feed a minotaur—self-sufficient.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What nonsense,” Nai Ge Li Si grumbled, then picked up Xie He’s staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of luxury, this staff surpassed Tie Re’s sword. Nai Ge Li Si didn’t even bother explaining—there were too many fine items: “Staff. Has enhancement effects, but you can’t use it. Your magic power limits your spell strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ange nodded: “Give it to Fei Lin.” Even if he could use it, he wouldn’t swap—he still preferred his scythe; staffs couldn’t cut grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That kid’s getting lucky. This staff’s worth more than his crappy underground city,” Nai Ge Li Si said, stowing the staff and stripping off Xie He’s robe—a fine item too, but punctured with a huge hole. He’d have to patch it later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Nai Ge Li Si felt utterly bored. Too many good items. Listing them all would take volumes, and none were useful to him—like a dragon meticulously arranging dates for others, then ending up alone. How dull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it. Nai Ge Li Si lazily began counting: “Fine longsword. Fifty sets of armor, some damaged.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Four sets of magic goose down bedding. Several single tents.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One set of four luxury carriage-tents, one water cart, one cooking cart, one office-communication cart, uh… this one is probably the maid’s personal cart plus the afternoon tea cart?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Lei Dian and Nai Ai Li’s dragon soul couldn’t help but peek over: “You mean… tents, water carts, cooking carts, office carts—even a dedicated afternoon tea cart?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nai Ge Li Si nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four stared at each other, seeing envy in each other’s eyes, then unanimously cursed: “Scum. Waste.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone might think they’re on a picnic. And they still want to slay dragons?” Lu Se fumed. Back in the Palace of Rest, he traveled on foot—tired, sleepy, or windy? He just dug a hole and slept. He never dreamed of having a dedicated afternoon tea cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One magic-rune-verified space belt. One space ring—also magic-rune-verified. Later, find a space Grand Mage to see if the rune authentication can be erased.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they counted, they categorized: items usable by someone went directly to that person; unusable ones were stored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon they reached the luxury carriage bearing the rose emblem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the door, Lu Se and Lei Dian burst into a startled “Whoa!” Outside, the carriage looked only two meters wide and three long—inside, it spanned nearly thirty square meters, lavishly decorated, glittering gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cool, comfortable breeze flowed out, sending a shiver of chill through Lu Se and Lei Dian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Se couldn’t help but sigh: “These nobles and mages from the Prime Material Plane are just too rich compared to us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—richer than you. Don’t drag us into this,” Nai Ge Li Si quickly distanced himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Se blinked, staring at Nai Ge Li Si in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, don’t believe me? Do you know how much every blade of grass, every stone, every arch here is worth?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Immortal Spring Stone—priceless, unavailable. Soul-Transformed Wood—hundreds of magic crystals per jin. Here, there are thousands of tons. That arch is a space gate—tens of millions of magic crystals per gate. There are several. Even the farm’s barrier is artifact-level, priceless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of the farm, Ange tilted his head and pointed: “You know this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. Eternal Mirror Barrier. It cuts a piece of the Prime Material Plane and mirrors it here. Don’t you wonder why the farm always has sunlight, life, and change? Without this barrier, the Palace of Rest couldn’t grow anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nai Ge Li Si sighed again: “This is an artifact-level barrier. The monarch uses it for you to grow vegetables? What a wastrel. Honestly, anything from here taken to the Prime Material Plane would trigger a frenzy—even the dirt everywhere, the Rest Soil, is a treasure for alchemists and potion-makers. Sell even a little, and you’d be richer than these guys.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all that, Lu Se only understood “artifact-level barrier.” He grumbled: “All this belongs to the lord. What’s it to you? You’re as poor as we are.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, do you know what this is?” Inside the Palace of Rest, Nai Ge Li Si’s true form was the Brass Book. It opened and closed its pages: “Brass Book. Artifact that seals deities. Just this book—how much do you think it’s worth?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Se fell silent. He wanted to argue but had no grounds to do so. Something capable of sealing a deity—even if that deity was worthless—must make the book itself priceless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Dian floated in softly: “You’re the lord’s too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kill shot. Now it was Nai Ge Li Si’s turn to spit blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Ange suddenly sensed something and immediately shifted his awareness outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, hoofbeats thundered. A silver figure flapped its wings furiously, speeding forward. Behind it, Gai La De rode a unicorn in hot pursuit—each step of the unicorn exploded into electric sparks, ringing with sharp, loud cracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But four-legged creatures, even running in the air, couldn’t catch winged ones. The silver figure grew smaller and smaller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a female mage appeared before the silver dragon, swinging a massive staff—seven or eight meters long, as wide as a door—swiping horizontally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver dragon, You Lan Da, turned pale. She arched her neck high, then violently flapped her wings and pulled her belly in, lifting herself half a body’s length—barely avoiding the staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she still grazed it. Three or four scales were ripped off; two others stood up like broken fingernails—painful to look at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Lan Da screamed and spat a dragon breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the breath reached her, the female mage vanished. She reappeared atop You Lan Da’s head, bringing the massive staff down in a crushing blow to her back—nearly knocking the wind out of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Lan Da writhed, rolling to shake the mage off—but suddenly felt a sharp pain on her back. She glanced sideways: the mage had jammed one end of her staff into her spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nim a ma la mu lu bo na ha lu si ye la ma!” The incantation came out like solid stones, crashing into You Lan Da’s skull, dizzying her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seal!” The final shout ended it. You Lan Da suddenly felt the world spin. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t stabilize. As she spun, she noticed—why was the enemy growing larger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t an illusion. By the end, You Lan Da was held in the female mage’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did she get so big? What magic is this?!” You Lan Da trembled in disbelief and terror—but still refused to surrender. She opened her mouth and spat dragon breath at the mage’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only a tiny flame emerged—like a hiccup—fading the moment it left her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not her growing bigger… I’m shrinking? How is this possible?!” You Lan Da roared internally in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gai La De, watching from afar, saw more clearly: the female mage pressed her thick staff against the silver dragon’s back. The staff erupted with intense magic energy, warping all light in the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the silver dragon kept shrinking, shrinking, shrinking—until the mage held it in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is….” Gai La De didn’t know what to say. Knocking down a silver dragon wasn’t hard—she could do it. This silver dragon was only a thousand years old—dragon age counted from the egg: five hundred years inside, five hundred after hatching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A five-hundred-year-old dragon wasn’t that strong. Knocking it down was easy. But sealing it? Hard. Dragons had too high magic resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This revealed the true power of the self-proclaimed space mage—this woman terrified of heights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gai La De rode her unicorn up beside the mage. The mage was now playing with the tiny silver dragon—no bigger than a pet chameleon, easily held in one hand, while the other hand teased it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gai La De asked curiously: “Aren’t you afraid of heights when fighting?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mage shuddered, as if reminded. She instinctively looked down—and instantly screamed, legs going weak. She plopped onto her staff, wrapped her legs around it, hugged it tightly, eyes shut: “Aaaahhh!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each scream made her vanish and reappear, inching downward until her feet touched ground. Only then did she stop screaming, lying flat on her back, panting: “Phew… scared me to death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re so afraid of heights, how did you learn to fly?” Gai La De asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a phantom pet. When flying, it conjures a ground beneath me, so I think I’m flying just above the ground. That’s how I learned.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then why not bring your pet now?” Gai La De asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mage smiled shyly: “My mental power’s stronger now. It can’t affect me anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than just strong—it was monstrous. Were all human mages this powerful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mage strained to lift her thick staff, planted it on the ground, and asked Gai La De: “Your Majesty, want a ride?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Gai La De thought a moment, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come closer.” After Gai La De stood in place, the staff’s position first expanded into a phantom staff, then a second, overlapping the first, then a fourth, then a fifth, then a sixth—six layers of phantom arrays stacked. When ready, they all instantly imprinted onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intense light flashed, swallowing Gai La De and the mage whole. When the glare faded, the two and the unicorn vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short while later, a skeleton leapt up from the oasis and sprinted toward distant dunes. After searching, it picked up two shimmering silver scales from the sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Palace of Rest, two large barrels filled with essence fluid. Gradually, two tiny dragon forms took shape—one golden, one silver. Nai Ge Li Si stared at the silver one, mischievous: “One day, when You Lan Da sees a bloodline hatchling identical to herself… will she go mad?”\u003C\u002Fp>",2225,"2026-06-21T03:18:43.177Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","eb9a55ca9897334b8cb9463ba523d9348090384a4840054375839231dd9c1c3c","the-vegetable-growing-skeleton-s-foreign-land-re-chapter-131","the-vegetable-growing-skeleton-s-foreign-land-re-chapter-129",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-vegetable-growing-skeleton-s-foreign-land-re-cover.jpg"]
