Chapter 10
: The Uncensored Gathering, The Picky Frog Prodigy
Li Changsheng, his face covered in bites, walked out of the wasteland with a grin on his face, clutching a "half-spirit insect" that looked like a cricket but had its head separated from its body.
He knew nothing about it.
Fang Yuan already regards him as a role model for us.
"Everything's done, let's go home..."
Li Changsheng wrapped the insect corpse in grass leaves and placed it together with the roots of the cowgrass. He picked up seventy or eighty catties of weeds from the clearing and digging path, carried "Da Congming" in his arms, and "Wa Tianjiao" on his shoulder, and walked towards the main road.
Night falls.
The busy spirit farmers also emerged from the fields and returned in a bustling manner, chatting with each other and occasionally shouting and laughing.
And at various exits in Lingtian.
A line of oxcarts were parked there, carrying people who had come to buy weeds and rice seedlings.
No one needs to shout.
The barn workers spontaneously approached familiar merchants.
Li Changsheng was no exception. He carried weeds to Uncle Liu's place and remained low-key, silently queuing and listening to the idle chatter of the spirit farmers.
The spirit farmers of "Five Grains Spirit Village" are mostly men, with few women.
When a group of men get together, no matter where they are, they always talk about the same three things.
Woman, woman, woman…
"Have you heard? The White Fairy of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion was listed in the 'List of Beauties' as soon as she debuted, ranking 1,997th."
"It is said that on the day of her debut, a certain master spent 100,000 spirit stones just to invite the White Fairy to hold an uninhibited grand gathering..."
"hiss…"
All the Lingnongs gasped in unison.
"One hundred thousand spirit stones?"
"Are you crazy?"
"Even if she were edged with divine gold, she wouldn't be worth this many spirit stones..."
The person who initially leaked the information glanced at the other person disdainfully and scoffed, "What do you know?"
Do you know what it means to be listed in the "List of Beauties"?
As soon as he said that...
The Lingnong present was truly dumbfounded. What "Compendium of Flowers"? They had no idea. All they knew was that "Hundred Flowers Pavilion" was the top brothel in "Three Mountains Market," one of the largest markets outside "Yuanhe Mountain."
It is said that it was founded by a certain high-ranking sect.
The place is filled with fairies, and the entrance fee alone costs one hundred spirit stones.
scare someone to death.
"You don't know, do you?"
The man glanced smugly at the crowd before saying, "The 'List of Beauties' is a ranking list issued by the 'Mysterious Maiden Sect,' a major sect of the demonic path. It only includes extraordinary women from all over the world, and anyone who makes the list must possess something extraordinary about them."
He paused, then snorted:
"Ten thousand spirit stones is something you and I couldn't earn in a lifetime, but for someone like him, it's just a drop in the ocean..."
Everyone was genuinely intimidated by him and looked at each other in bewilderment.
"The Mysterious Maiden Sect, the Compendium of Beauties, the Unrestricted Gathering..."
Li Changsheng was secretly amazed. "As expected of the Demon Sect's territory, they really know how to play fancy games."
Thinking to myself that once I've mastered the Qi cultivation, I'll definitely go see... well, give him a good scolding.
After the man finished selling the weeds and left, the conversation gradually shifted to complaining about the scorching sun, the lack of rain, how much spirit stones it would cost to hire a cultivator who knew the "Minor Cloud Rain Technique" to water the plants, the poor harvest of spirit rice, and the potential loss, etc.
Soon it was Li Changsheng's turn. He put down the roughly seventy or eighty pounds of weeds and laughed:
"Uncle Liu, could you please weigh it for me?"
"it is good."
Liu Quan turned over the grass and looked at it. Seeing that the goosegrass had no roots, he frowned slightly, looked at Li Changsheng, and said:
"Young Li, if you don't have the roots of the goosegrass, you'll have to halve the price."
Li Changsheng nodded and said, "Uncle Liu, that's fine."
Liu Quan didn't waste any words, picked up the scale and weighed it, saying, "Seventy-one catties and eight ounces, I'll give you seventy-two catties."
He took out thirty-six spirit sands from his pocket and handed them to Li Changsheng.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu."
Li Changsheng thanked him, put away the spirit sand, and turned to walk towards "Five Grains Mountain".
Wait until he leaves.
The Ginners were abuzz with discussion.
"Hahaha, this is the first time I've ever seen someone raise a toad..."
"Did you see what he's holding? It looks like a dog, but its head is pointed like a cone, and its eyes are crossed. Tsk tsk, what a weirdo..."
"Alright, stop rambling. He's a 'Spirit Plant Master'..."
This statement came out.
The laughter in the room suddenly stopped.
Anyone who works in the spirit field knows what the term "spirit plant master" means.
It can be said that as long as the person does not do anything reckless or die young, there is a high probability that they will enter the inner sect and become an inner sect disciple.
Unlike them, who wasted half their lives and still couldn't reach the threshold of the inner gate.
"So what if you were born well? What's so great about that..."
One of the farmers muttered something under his breath, but the sourness in his words was impossible to hide.
The other Grennons also had varying expressions.
Ding ding…
Liu Quan knocked on the cart shaft and shouted, "Are you selling or not? If not, I'm leaving..."
"Sell, sell..."
The spirit farmers quickly came to their senses and presented the weeds and seedlings.
"A habitual flaw..."
Liu Quan snorted inwardly and began to weigh the weeds and seedlings one by one.
the other side.
The first thing Li Changsheng did upon returning to his residence was to quickly walk to the backyard, arrive at the center of the vegetable garden, and slightly open his mouth.
A round seed shimmering with pink light flew out of his mouth and, upon landing, began to grow at a visible speed.
In just a few breaths.
It then grew from a spiritual seed into a strange plant that was half a person tall, covered with dense, sharp thorns, with black branches and leaves, and covered with dense pink spots.
"call…"
Li Changsheng lightly touched the leaf of the "Love Flower" seed with his finger, opened its information panel, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was alright.
My gaze fell upon the pink spots on the leaves.
"Half a month..."
After glancing at the "love flower" again, picking some fruits and vegetables left behind by her ex, she turned and went back to the front yard.
Put "Frog Prodigy" and "Big Smart" in the yard.
He turned and went into the kitchen.
Li Changsheng put down the fruits and vegetables in his hand, walked to the rice jar in the corner, opened the lid, and found that there was only a shallow layer of rice grains left at the bottom of the jar.
"We need to buy some new rice tomorrow."
I gathered everything together, gave it a quick rinse, put it in the pot, added a piece of cured meat, and then put in some fruits and vegetables.
After doing all this.
Li Changsheng lit the firewood, added a few more pieces, and then stopped paying attention, taking out the roots and stems of the goosegrass and the "half-spirit worm" that he had dug up that afternoon.
I thought about it.
He quickly washed some of the goosegrass roots and stems, then picked up a knife and started chopping them up.
Accompanied by a pungent, sour smell, the roots and stems of the goosegrass disappeared in no time, replaced by a small bowl of liquid and broth that smelled as if it had gone bad.
"Is this edible?... "
The thought flashed through his mind. Li Changsheng pinched his nose, picked up the paste, and walked out of the kitchen to the jujube tree in the yard.
Squat down.
Place the "beef tendril paste" in front of "Frog Pride".
With eyes full of anticipation, he said:
"Frog Prodigy, eat up! It'll make you grow taller and stronger..."
Unexpectedly, "Frog Prodigy" glanced at it and then turned its head away.
"Don't like it?... "
Li Changsheng reached out and tapped the top of "Frog Prodigy's" head to confirm that the "cultivation" method was correct. After thinking for a moment, he picked up "Big Smarty," who was lying silently next to him.
They stuffed the captured "half-spirit worm" into its mouth.
Whether it was from being starving or from the delicious taste of the "half-spirit worm," Da Congming, who had been silent for a while, suddenly brightened up, made a childish "woo-woo" sound in his throat, and opened and closed his mouth incessantly, chewing with a crunching sound.
"That's more like it..."
"Look, Frog Prodigy, how deliciously he's eating..."
Li Changsheng patted Da Congming's pointed head with satisfaction. It had a rather peculiar feel to it. He set it aside, looked at the unmoved "Frog Prodigy," shook his head, and sighed:
"Fine, I'll feed you myself then..."
As he spoke, he grabbed "Frog Pride," pried open its mouth, and poured the goosegrass sap down its throat.
"Frog Prodigy, you're destined to become a giant in the frog world, how can you be so picky about food?"
"Come on, eat it all, it'll make you grow taller..."
Encouragement is very useful.
"Frog Prodigy" happily downed a bowl of goosegrass juice, and before leaving, he thanked his master by giving him a big kiss.
He knew nothing about it.
Fang Yuan already regards him as a role model for us.
"Everything's done, let's go home..."
Li Changsheng wrapped the insect corpse in grass leaves and placed it together with the roots of the cowgrass. He picked up seventy or eighty catties of weeds from the clearing and digging path, carried "Da Congming" in his arms, and "Wa Tianjiao" on his shoulder, and walked towards the main road.
