Chapter 264: Picking spiritual melons

As the name suggests, the Wilderness is where spiritual energy is scarce.

The soil lacks rain, almost no rain falls all year round, the land is dry and hardened, the entire Wilderness is desolate under the scorching sun, small animals are rare, and only tenacious plants can survive here.

In such a desolate Wilderness, a patch of green crops suddenly appeared.

The staff's eyes widened in shock: "Spiritual melons? And they are actually spiritual melons?????"

Another staff member stretched his neck to look, his eyes believed it, but his mouth was still staring at the large patch of crops and said: "Is this still the Wilderness? The Wilderness land is desolate!"

The guard pointed to the large patch of melon fields, even counting Qin Tang and the others' melon fields, and revealed a smile, curious: "There are several acres of land."

There were large patches of melon fields, and fruit trees bearing fruit.

Looking again, eyes popping out, good fellow, spiritual fruit trees.

The staff were literati and scholars, very scheming: "They are our little Shizi's."

Without anything else, the staff and cultivation guards were people of the Rong Wang Fu, obeying the Rong Wang and the Rong Shizi, but the Shizifei's things couldn't be said to be the Rong Wang Fu's. It was best to divide them to the little Shizi.

"Yes." Yan Yan Huwei Yan said: "The little Shizi has good fortune, having a field in the Wilderness."

The staff also offered congratulations. Rong Yang was small, a smile appeared on his pink and jade-carved face, and Rong Chi gnawed on the spiritual melon "ah, ah, ah," melon, so many melons. The Rong Shizi held him, not letting the little milk Tuanzi rush out.

The Rong Shizi was tall, his appearance handsome, holding the little milk Tuanzi, standing tall and upright. The little milk Tuanzi was small, milky and soft, and still restless, always flapping and tossing happily.

The Rong Shizi doted on him, with full patience for his younger son.

Qin Bi heard the words of the staff and guards and considered it tacit approval, opening her mouth: "Pick melons."

Once these words were spoken, the staff rolled up their robes and stepped into the melon fields. The guards also put away their swords and knives. When they reached the edge of the field, they were all cautious, lightening their movements to block the melon vines covering the ground, revealing empty spaces where they could land their feet, only then landing a foot.

Lin Yao went over first, greeting several staff members: "We will pick melons, others will move the melons. Some melons in this acre of land are not ripe yet, so pick the ripe ones first."

A thin staff member nodded and stepped into the melon field: "Indeed, we cannot pick the unripe ones."

If the melons are not ripe, picking them is a waste.

The guards were unhappy: "Our captain also understands ripeness."

Yan Yan Huwei Yan also happily stepped into the melon field, one ridge per person, and started picking. Others followed along, moved the melons, happily looked at them several times, and only then sent them to the edge of the field.

Rong Yang watched the basket while eating melon. The spiritual melons with leaves were placed in the basket one by one. The little milk Tuanzi Rong Chi "ah, ah," laughed so much that he almost wanted to get down and crawl into the basket. The Rong Shizi stood the little Tuanzi's little body up.

Giving him a piece of melon temporarily coaxed him.

In the melon fields, the staff were originally happy, but the spiritual melons had sufficient rain, and after irrigation, the melon skin was too brittle, cracking at a touch. How brittle were they? Even using force to pull the melon from the melon vine, the melon cracked with a "crack."

Cracking one, it hurt.

Cracking two melons, the staff didn't dare to pick them anymore.

"Use a knife to pick the melons." Lin Yao said.

Fine, they couldn't not pick them. The staff and Yan Yan Huwei Yan took small knives to pick them. The guards moved the spiritual melons and tried to handle them lightly. These were spiritual melons; if they cracked, they wouldn't keep.

Everyone was light-footed, but from time to time, spiritual melons still cracked.

There was no way, so they had to move them to one side and separate them from the good melons.

Qin Tan and Qin Tang and the others came over to help. Qin Tan looked at this basket of spiritual melons: "Pity, the spiritual melons cracked and won't keep, and the children can't eat them all. It's better to sell them to cultivators."

Qin Bi also had this intention and nodded: "Spread the news, just say we are selling spiritual melons."

Qin Yan immediately became interested: "Really selling them?!"

Qin Bi was helpless: "They won't keep."

Qin Yan immediately thought of his maternal grandfather's family. The Su Guogong Fu would definitely buy spiritual melons. He had heard the Su Shizi mention several times that he went to the Xian Sect to buy spiritual melons but couldn't buy any. Qin Tan also thought of his friends and colleagues who had good relations.

"How do you plan to sell them?" Qin Yan asked.

"You want to buy?" Qin Bi asked.

"No." Qin Yan was worried that Qin Bi would give him melons. These were spiritual melons, so he hurriedly explained: "My maternal grandfather's family has always wanted to buy spiritual melons, but they went to the Xian Sect and couldn't buy any. I'll ask them."

Qin Bi considered that the spiritual melons cracked and wouldn't keep, and the two children couldn't eat them all, so she said: "One high-grade beast crystal plus one hundred low-grade beast crystals to buy one spiritual melon."

The Rong Shizi didn't stop her. This price was not high, but the cracked melons were indeed discounted in price.

Based on the cool taste of the spiritual melons Qin Bi grew, they could be sold to the Xian Sect at a more expensive price, but the Five Grains Abundance Cloud was rare, so it was better to cover up this ability; there was no need to be coveted by the Xian Sect.

Knowing the price of the spiritual melons, Qin Tan and the others sent people to tell those who were familiar.

Rong Yang also busily sent the guards away from the Wilderness, entered the palace to notify the little prince, and Rong Yang said in a milky voice: "Tell the little prince brother, our family is selling cracked spiritual melons, one high-grade beast crystal and one hundred low-grade beast crystals for one melon, freshly picked. If the little prince brother wants to eat, hurry up and come."

The guard quickly left the Wilderness and entered the palace to see the little prince Yan Gou.

"What?" The little prince was stunned: "Rong Yang brother's family has spiritual melons now?????"

"Spiritual melons freshly picked from the melon vines." The guard swallowed his saliva. Actually, he hadn't eaten them, but knowing that the spiritual melon cracked at a touch, he knew how brittle they were: "Crisp and sweet, cool."

The little prince didn't believe it: "Really?"

The guard nodded, and the little prince hurriedly sent someone to tell the Minister of War.

The Minister of War was attending the morning court in the front hall. At first, he didn't believe the news, but hearing that it was grown by the Rong Wang Fu, he couldn't sit still, bid farewell to the Great Yan Emperor, and left the Golden Hall.

The little prince was already waiting, opened the teleportation array, and immediately went to the Wilderness.

Under the only few spiritual fruit trees in the Wilderness, a sandalwood table was placed, and blue stones were laid on the ground. The grape spiritual fruit trees had grape vines built, and the clusters of fruits were like green jade stones.

Only the grapes on the spiritual fruit trees grew well, and the lush branches and leaves blocked the scorching sun of the Wilderness.

On the table were cut red-pulp spiritual melons. The spiritual melons were already sandy-pulp, and eating a mouthful of melon was cool and sweet to the heart. The Rong Shizi held his younger son, and Rong Yang was gnawing on a melon on the side.

The Minister of War and the little prince Yan Gou saw this scene and wiped their sweat, immediately feeling that the temperature had dropped a bit. Eating spiritual melons under the spiritual fruit trees was too comfortable, which made the little prince envious.

"Rong Yang brother!" The little prince shouted.

Rong Yang hugged a piece of spiritual melon and raised his little head: "Prince brother."

The little prince pulled the Minister of War and ran over. Rong Yang handed the little prince a piece of spiritual melon, and the little milk Tuanzi in the Rong Shizi's arms "ah, ah," mine, mine, flapping his little hands.

The Rong Shizi took back the little Tuanzi's hand. Rong Yang was the Shizi of the Wang Fu and could make the decision to distribute the spiritual melons.

The little milk Tuanzi was unhappy, but it was useless. ===== CHAPTER 265 =====
