Chapter 122: Splitting Open a Beast Realm Small Space with Combat Spirit Value

"Mother," Rong Yuan said in a babyish voice, "the more bamboo baskets we have, the more family wealth we possess!"

Qin Bi said nothing; she didn't quite understand and felt he sounded like a naive simpleton.

"Our cultivation world lacks rain, and plants are scarce," Lin Yao said, not just referring to Great Yan, and concluded, "Anything that grows in the soil—trees, flowers, all plants—is rare. Great families, military clans, and marquis households with fertile fields all rely on baskets. More baskets mean more wealth. There are also woven granaries; bamboo-woven or split-bamboo-woven ones will do."

Speaking of this, Lin Yao glanced at the empty small space and said, "If only we had sandalwood or pine wood. Courtyards with carved beams and painted pillars, and pavilions and towers built from precious trees, would be breathtakingly beautiful."

Qin Bi understood immediately. Good heavens, accumulating this kind of wealth was easy to explain.

With this explanation, Qin Bi understood. As a concubine-born daughter of the Marquis household, she only knew about farming but didn't know where baskets came from. A single basket could last for years. Which great family didn't have baskets? If they were mocked for lacking them, they weren't considered wealthy.

The Rong Prince's residence already had everything ready, so Qin Bi hadn't thought much about it.

There was also the county town where the Third Branch family served. Whatever was missing, Third Aunt provided. Initially, Qin Bi thought Third Aunt was stingy, giving only one or two baskets. Good heavens, it turned out this was a family tradition.

Qin Bi suddenly saw the light and immediately began searching the surroundings.

"Don't look," Lin Yao said. He was sharp enough to know what Qin Bi was thinking. "The Crown Princess watches the Young Master. I'll chop down this willow branch; it should be enough to weave a small basket."

Qin Bi was anxious: "Is there nowhere else?"

"After chopping here, we'll look elsewhere," Lin Yao continued shaving the willow branch but remained pessimistic. "Our luck is poor. The location we were teleported to doesn't allow us to seize the initiative. If we really can't find any, we'll probably have to fight for it."

Speaking thus, Lin Yao glanced at Qin Tan, who was harvesting personally: "Your Third Uncle's cultivation base is decent."

Unfortunately, only Qin Tan was capable; everyone else's strength was merely average.

Rong Yuan, a little money-lover, squatted down to organize the willow branches, but Qin Bi pulled him back.

Lin Yao's eyes flickered. The Young Master was of noble birth, and the Crown Princess was forbidding this, but such fussiness was unnecessary. A concubine-born daughter of the Qin Yan Marquis household was nothing special, and the child raised by Qin He was no better either.

Qin Bi took Rong Yuan to where Qin Tan and the others were and watched them chop the willow branches.

The collection task was heavy, and no one dared to slack off. In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, they had chopped clean over a dozen willow trees. The group continued forward and merged with the teams of Qin Yan and Qin He.

Only after talking with Qin Yan did Qin Tan learn that Qin He had been lucky. Their team was teleported to a good location. By then, they had transplanted a pear tree and chopped enough willow branches to weave ten baskets.

"Sister Qin He's luck is indeed better," Qin Yan flattered, then said proudly, "Our teleportation location was excellent. In this short time, we've found quite a few medicinal herbs."

Qin Yan nodded: "Qin He has high Fortune Value, so her luck is indeed good."

Qin Tan's team consisted of people from the Qin Yan Marquis household. The location where Qin Tan's group was teleported was average, showing that the Marquis household's luck wasn't the factor. It could only be that Qin He possessed fortune, which is why they were teleported to a good location.

Qin Tan also accepted this point, after all, the teleportation location depended on Fortune Value and Luck Value.

"Third Uncle," Xue Qing said with a smile, "let's collect things together."

Qin Yan and Qin He were a team, and the collected items would inevitably include a share for the Marquis household. Qin Tan trusted the Marquis household's Young Master's methods. Since the plan was to split into two groups, Qin Tan rejected Xue Qing's proposal.

Qin He let out a small sigh. She didn't want to collect things together with the Third and Fourth Branches at all.

Her luck was good, and her cultivation base was decent. How could she show off her abilities if she led the Third and Fourth Branches?

Qin He politely said, "Then we'll have to separate. How about I point you in a direction?"

Qin He, confident in her high Fortune Value, believed the direction she pointed would be good. If Qin Tan accepted it, Qin He would gain more status in the Marquis household. Qin He's legitimate younger sister rolled her eyes. If they had the ability, let the Third and Fourth Branches find things themselves. Why point the way for them?

"No need," Qin Di rejected on behalf of Qin Tan.

Qin He turned away: "Then we're leaving."

She didn't even care about pointing the way anymore.

Qin Yan said goodbye to Qin Tan and Qin Di, then led his people to follow Qin He's team. Qin He dared not show her displeasure to Qin Yan, but her status was not low, and she could make decisions for her team.

Qin Bi's Combat Spirit Value was stirring restlessly. Qin Lang called out to her: "Let's go."

Qin Xun picked up Rong Yuan. Qin Bi grabbed Qin Xun's robe hem, her eyes never leaving the child. The Beast Realm's small space was full of dangers. Rong Yuan was Qin Bi's weakness, and Lin Yao stayed by her side without moving an inch.

After collecting for over an hour, there were no plants along the way.

The concubine-born sons of the Third and Fourth Branches scraped the ground, digging up any flowers, grass, or vegetables they saw. The land was barren, and the sun was fierce. Soon, everyone was extremely thirsty and drank from their water flasks.

The team was large, unlike the few people last time, so water consumption was also high.

Qin Tan led the team in scraping the ground, uprooting every plant they found.

Qin Bi stared at Lin Yao: "This Beast Realm small space has nothing. Do even great cultivation families scrape the ground?"

"This Beast Realm small space is nearly exhausted," Lin Yao said, squinting against the sun. "Powerful cultivation families have great experts who can split the space and enter other Beast Realm small spaces to accumulate wealth. Their family wealth is substantial."

Qin Bi could barely hold back her Combat Spirit Value. She really wanted to accumulate wealth for her child.

"How do you split the space?" Qin Bi suppressed her Combat Spirit Value.

"Those with high Fortune Value and Luck Value can tear open a Beast Realm small space," Qin Tan said, overhearing their conversation. He took a sip of water and added, "If it's a great cultivation expert, they can also split a Beast Realm small space using their cultivation base."

Qin Bi didn't waste words; she felt she could do it.

Facing the sky, she swung her hand and said, "I'll split it."

Her fierce Combat Spirit Value struck out, immediately splitting open a Beast Realm small space.

Qin Bi split it decisively, giving Lin Yao and Qin Tan no chance to react. A lush, forested Beast Realm small space appeared before their eyes. Standing on the sandy, stony ground, Lin Yao could even sense the birdsong and fragrance of flowers a few meters away.

The scent of plants was extremely clear, so it wasn't an illusion.

Lin Yao and Qin Tan's eyes narrowed, then gradually widened. Others heard the commotion, looked over, and stared blankly at the split-open Beast Realm small space. The little milk bun, Rong Yuan, opened his small mouth wide.

A new Beast Realm small space???!!

"A new Beast Realm small space?" Lin Yao couldn't maintain his elegance and exclaimed aloud.

"Is this Beast Realm small space I split open real?" Qin Bi turned to ask Lin Yao and Qin Tan.

In the team, only these two understood the most.

"Yes," Rong Yan ran over, looking extremely excited. "And it's not on the list of contested ones. A new Beast Realm small space."

Qin Di was also excited. He took a few steps to Qin Tan's side and said joyfully, "How big is it?"

How would Qin Tan know? Overcome with uncontrollable joy, he said, "Come with me to collect things."
