Chapter 84: Thin Spiritual Energy

When the Great Yan Emperor arrived at the Rong Wang Manor, Qin Bi was speechless.

Qin Bi wasn't familiar with managing the household, and she didn't have the patience to manage the manor's affairs, so Rong Juan handed it over to the manor's advisors to handle. The Rong Wang's concubine could manage the household, but would Rong Juan give her that opportunity?!

Rong Juan chuckled, and the Great Yan Emperor saw it and was somewhat dissatisfied.

The Great Yan Emperor whispered to Rong Juan, "My dear minister, the Heir Apparent Consort hasn't learned the way of managing a household. You should teach her later."

Rong Juan flicked his robe, "She is pregnant."

"That's true," the Great Yan Emperor nodded. "The child is important."

There were spiritual vegetables in the manor, made into delicious dishes and served one by one. In this vast cultivation world, as long as it was spiritual vegetables, cultivators liked them; cabbage wasn't cheap either.

The little Imperial Prince's eyes brightened, and Rong Yang said, "Imperial Prince brother, isn't my home good? Why don't you stay at my home?"

Father said the little Imperial Prince had blessings, and Rong Yang wanted to protect his younger brother well. Although the child was small, he knew that his father, who cherished him, could be said to have only this one biological child.

Rong Yang naturally wanted to protect his younger brother well; it wasn't easy for his younger brother to come to his home.

As long as he entered his door, don't even think about running away.

The little Imperial Prince looked at the Great Yan Emperor hesitantly, and the Great Yan Emperor said, "No."

*Fine*, Rong Yang gave up the idea.

During the meal, Rong Juan pulled Qin Bi to sit below the Great Yan Emperor. Qin Bi didn't dare to look at the Emperor, only feeling that he was very amiable. It was just a feeling, though; anyone who was an emperor would know how to buy people's hearts.

Of course, being able to have a full-level blessing value naturally meant he was also a pretty good emperor.

The Great Yan Emperor was the human emperor, and it was because he valued Rong Juan that he came to the Rong Wang Manor. Qin Bi was flattered and discussed with Rong Juan, "Is it okay to send two carts of cabbage? It wouldn't be embarrassing, would it?!"

Rong Juan glanced at Qin Bi. Two carts of spiritual vegetables wouldn't be embarrassing? What was she thinking?

Lin Yao led people to load two carts of cabbage. The Great Yan Emperor could be considered to have not made the trip in vain. He originally didn't want the spiritual vegetables, but the Heir Apparent Consort was still nourishing the fetus, and everything she ate and used had to be refined. The foundation of the Rong Wang Manor had all been used up when she was pregnant with Rong Yang.

"There are still spiritual vegetables in the fief," Rong Yang said.

The Great Yan Emperor knew the acreage, so he accepted them as soon as he heard.

After the meal, the Great Yan Emperor left with the little Imperial Prince. The Rong Wang's few concubine daughters hid in the veranda, angry. What a good opportunity this was, and their elder brother didn't give them a chance to show their faces.

For the next few days, Rong Yang followed Rong Juan to court in the morning and went to the fief to collect vegetables in the afternoon.

It was unknown how the Great Yan Emperor discussed it with the child, but the Prime Minister and others bought spiritual vegetables from Rong Yang, and the child agreed to all of them. The ministers wanted a lot, and they were all priced at eight low-grade beast crystals per jin.

The child was a money-grubber. The Yan Guogong Manor had been constantly having things moved away by Fubao, and Rong Yang was already very concerned. His spiritual vegetables sold for seven low-grade beast crystals, and Rong Yang felt heartbroken, so he added another beast crystal.

Qin Bi didn't understand and asked Rong Yang in the evening.

Rong Yang was still small, but he understood a little about state affairs and said, "Our Great Yan is the most barren among the surrounding countries, and the cultivation level is also low. My Imperial He He Bo Fu wants to improve the ministers' cultivation."

Qin Bi sighed; eating a little spiritual vegetable wouldn't have much effect.

However, Qin Bi knew one thing: only by improving cultivation could the barren soil be improved. At the very least, rainfall was of great benefit to the soil. Great Yan was vast and barren, and the spiritual energy was thin.

With thin spiritual energy, the improvement of cultivation was stagnant.

Besides going to the Beast Realm's small space to obtain cultivation resources, the people of Great Yan ate spiritual food. But it wasn't easy to grow crops with spiritual energy in barren soil. What they ate in the palace was all bought from the Immortal Sect at a high price.

The Great Yan Emperor also wanted to improve his cultivation, but this was a cultivation world dominated by blessings and luck. The Immortal Sect was the place to look up to, and emperors of all sides had to look at the Immortal Sect's face.

That didn't sound good, but the Immortal Sect still cared about these emperors of various countries.

Every year, the Immortal Sect would select disciples with spiritual roots from various countries to teach immortal arts. When there was a lack of rain somewhere, these Immortal Sect disciples would use the name of the Immortal Sect to bring rain to the fields.

For example, Qin He; Qin He and her child were Immortal Sect disciples.

However, Qin Bi didn't envy them for no other reason than that Qin He's child, Fubao, had swallowed two auspicious clouds, and with the help of He Yan, Xue Qing, and Qin He, she had only managed to summon a light snow.

That was it; it wasn't anything special.

Rong Yang earned a lot of low-grade beast crystals from selling spiritual vegetables, and Rong Juan became wealthy. He wasn't stingy with his son at all, exchanging the low-grade beast crystals for beast crystals with high purity.

Such a large amount of low-grade beast crystals only exchanged for a hundred or so beast crystals with high purity.

"Take them for cultivation," Rong Juan gave them to Rong Yang.

Rong Yang divided more than half, "For Father and Mother, let's cultivate together."

The child understood the benefits of high cultivation very well. In the cultivation world, only by being strong could one call the wind and summon the rain, especially his father. Only when Rong Juan was strong could he protect him and his mother.

Rong Juan raised his eyebrows, and Rong Yang said, "The heavenly treasures of our Rong Wang Manor were all used by me."

It wasn't easy for him to be born, either. The Rong Wang Manor wasn't as wealthy as the Yan Guogong Manor anymore.

Such powerful luck had all gone to Fubao.

Rong Yang wasn't happy, but his Imperial He He Bo Fu was worried that if he acknowledged the Yan Guogong Manor, Great Yan's luck would be unstable. Rong Yang felt heartbroken, so he could only live his own life well and let his father improve his cultivation.

Rong Juan didn't stand on ceremony with Rong Yang, took the beast crystals, and gave half to Qin Bi.

Qin Bi shook her head, "I don't want them."

Rong Juan said, "Your low cultivation is bad for the child."

Qin Bi touched the beast crystals, "I feel these are of no use to me."

Rong Juan was startled, took Qin Bi's hand, and probed, "You have a spiritual root. You went to the Beast Realm's small space for training and performed very well. You have already entered the path of cultivation, and your fighting spirit value is not low."

Qin Bi took the beast crystals, "But I can't absorb them."

Rong Juan was puzzled, and Rong Yang was also confused.

Rong Juan was worried that Qin Bi would overthink it and said indifferently, "It's fine. Even if you can't cultivate, there's me and Rong Yang. Our Great Yan's spiritual energy is thin, and cultivation is not easy to begin with."

Qin Bi didn't care. She didn't have a spiritual root to begin with, and hadn't she been living just fine?

When she was in the Marquis Qin Yan Manor, if it weren't for Qin He and the marriage with He Yan, Qin Bi would have been living just fine, without any vexing matters. Whether she cultivated or not didn't matter to Qin Bi; there was nothing to envy.

Qin Bi didn't care, and Rong Juan was angered into laughter.

He used to dislike Qin Bi for having too many thoughts, but now it was fine; Qin Bi had no thoughts, and Rong Juan was worried instead. This was even worse than having too many thoughts; his people couldn't suffer losses.

Qin Bi's temperament of not fighting or grabbing gave Rong Juan a headache. How could he be at ease if she were out of his sight?

There was no other way; he would just have to keep her under his nose and protect her.

Rong Juan was very content to have a wife and child. He could even wake up laughing in his sleep at night. Even if Qin Bi and Rong Yang were ordinary people, Rong Juan would still hold them in the palm of his hand. No matter what, they were his.

Rong Juan gave Rong Yang half of the beast crystals again, but Rong Yang didn't want them, "Rong Yang is small, I can't use that many for cultivation."
