Chapter 16
: The Spirit Spring Appears, the Treasure-Hunting Dog
The grass was thick and the insects were a nuisance.
The "Frog Prodigy" perched on Li Changsheng's shoulder swept its tongue across the ground, swallowing the mosquitoes that swarmed towards it.
Among them was a large, plump "half-spirit" mosquito.
After a hearty meal, it squinted its eyes contentedly.
Normally, Li Changsheng would have praised "Frog Prodigy" to the skies, but at this moment, he was worried about Da Congming, and the oppressive weather made him even more irritable.
"Where did that bastard go...?"
While keeping an eye out for any possible traces, shout loudly and listen for any echoes.
I don't know how long we walked.
The sky darkened completely, accompanied by flashes of bright white lightning and increasingly loud thunder. The breeze picked up, and the rain intensified.
Just when Li Changsheng had given up hope, he suddenly heard a faint humming sound coming from ahead. His face lit up with joy, and he quickly walked towards the sound.

When you part the tall weeds.
A small pit came into view.
Inside the pit, a small creature resembling a large black rat was digging into the mud with its four paws, its head burrowing inwards, its white tail tip flicking back and forth, emitting anxious whimpering sounds.
"That damn dog!..."
Li Changsheng's eyes concealed his joy, his face darkened as he squatted down, grabbed Da Congming by the scruff of his neck and lifted him up, snarling:
"You bastard, do you want to die?! Huh?... "
Uh huh huh...
The big, dark-skinned creature stared at Li Changsheng, licked the damp sand from its mouth, and seemed to have tasted something delicious. It twisted and struggled, its pointed head pointing downwards, and made anxious whimpering noises.
"Are you starving...?"
Li Changsheng's expression softened slightly. He picked up Da Congming and prepared to leave. After taking only two steps, he noticed that Da Congming was scratching wildly with its paws and whimpering incessantly.
"Um?"
He hesitated for a moment, then looked down at the big, clever boy in his arms. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he turned around and looked at the small hole in the ground.
I don't know when.
A shallow pool of water appeared above the pit. Unlike ordinary water, this water was exceptionally clear, so clear that it contained not a single impurity.
"Could this be...?"
Li Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then squatted down and reached his hand into the small pit. The moment he touched the clear water, he sensed the faint spiritual energy contained within it.
A name came to mind.
"A sacred spring!"
It is a water vein containing spiritual energy that overflows naturally, and over time, it penetrates the cracks in the rock strata and gushes out from the ground.
"A magical spring has actually appeared here!..."
Li Changsheng was overjoyed.
Unlike man-made wells, "spiritual springs" are naturally occurring, and any spring that can produce a "spiritual spring" must have an extremely abundant water source.
And it is due to their innate nature.
There's no need to worry about the water vein's spiritual energy dissipating naturally.
"We can now cultivate paddy fields without digging a 'spirit well'..."
The thought crossed his mind, and Li Changsheng could no longer suppress his joy. He picked up the anxiously whimpering Da Congming and, ignoring its filthy body, gave it a big kiss.
He then realized that Da Congming was neither disabled nor stupid.
He's clearly channeled all his talent into treasure hunting!
A young mountain dog found a sacred spring.
Anyone who says this isn't a gifted talent will get angry with Li Changsheng.
I was excited for a while.
Li Changsheng finally came to his senses. As if he had thought of something, his expression changed slightly. He quickly stood up and measured the distance between the "spiritual spring" and his own "spiritual field".
After taking the measurements, he breathed a sigh of relief.
According to clan rules.
Wherever the "spiritual spring" is born, it belongs to that person.
This "spiritual spring" is not far from his spiritual field, about eight feet away, which is exactly within the scope of his spiritual field.
"Excellent, excellent, truly my brilliant insight..."
Li Changsheng could not hide his joy. He picked up the whimpering Da Congming and kissed it hard again. He placed it by the "spiritual spring" and watched Da Congming drink water, then fell into deep thought.
He wasn't entirely clear on how precious the "spiritual spring" was, but upon careful thought, he realized that a "spiritual well" that never had to worry about drying up didn't just flow with water; it clearly produced pieces of spiritual stones.
Although the "spiritual spring" is within his spiritual field, it is more than eight feet away, almost nine feet.
Li Changsheng thought about it and felt that it was still a bit too risky. With a flicker of his eyes, he quickly came up with a solution.
The method is simple.
He just needed to bring the "spiritual spring" closer to his spiritual field.
This involves the delineation of the "spirit field".
The "Spirit Field Hall" divides the "Spirit Fields" by dividing three mu of Spirit Fields, each fifty meters long and forty meters wide, into one plot. Each three mu of Spirit Fields is then spaced about two zhang apart.
To prevent the spiritual fields from being divided into smaller areas, Li Changsheng measured the spiritual fields on his first day on the land. He discovered that the spiritual fields divided by the "Spiritual Field Hall" were not divided into two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) intervals, but rather about two zhang and five chi (approximately 12.5 meters).
In other words.
He can move the entire spiritual field five feet to the left, right, front, or back.
in this way.
The "spiritual spring" was only three feet away from his spiritual field.
Even if people from the nearby spiritual field come in the future, this "spiritual spring" will have absolutely nothing to do with them.
While pondering.
Click...
A flash of lightning ripped across the sky, followed by a deafening roar of thunder, and then the torrential rain arrived as expected, pouring down in a downpour.
Li Changsheng's expression changed, and he picked up Da Congming and walked outside. When he arrived at the field, he was thinking of returning, but when he thought of the "spiritual spring", he couldn't move his feet any further.
"There's no time to lose, let's move it tonight..."
He gritted his teeth, took off his clothes, built a nest next to the field, put Da Congming and Wa Tianjiao inside, and, half-naked, picked up a hoe and started digging into the wasteland on the side away from the "spiritual spring".
The rain quickly soaked him completely.
But Li Changsheng seemed oblivious. The "talismanic artifact" hoe in his hand fell, causing large clumps of soil to surge up and dense weeds to fall to the ground. It was then soaked by the rain and quickly became muddy.
Moving the entire three mu of spiritual land five feet to one side seems difficult, but it is actually very simple, because the total area moved is less than one fen (0.01 hectares).
In addition to reclaiming wasteland.
Li Changsheng happened to come across a "half-spirit insect" mosquito that was soaked by the rain and unable to take off. Without hesitation, he chopped it in half with a hoe, put it in his pocket, and continued to cultivate the wasteland.
I was busy for about half an hour.
"call…"
Li Changsheng stood up, wiped the rain off his face, looked at the newly reclaimed fifty-meter-long and five-foot-wide wasteland, grinned, quickly bundled the weeds into a ball, and carried it on his shoulder.
Carrying a "talismanic" hoe in one hand and picking up the drenched Frog Prodigy in the other, Da Congming strode towards the main road.
Approaching the main road.
Liu Quan's oxcart was parked by the roadside, and a few scattered farmers were carrying weeds and seedlings, waiting to sell them.
"Buying weeds isn't an easy job either..."
Looking at Liu Quan, who was soaked by the rain but still hadn't left, Li Changsheng couldn't help but sigh and silently stepped forward to join the queue.
Upon his arrival.
The ginsengers glanced at it briefly and then paid no further attention.
Soon it was Li Changsheng's turn.
He sold all the weeds, including the roots and tips, to Liu Quan and received a whole low-grade spirit stone in return.
"It's a pity that we couldn't celebrate such a joyous day with Ling rice..."
"Damn thief..."
The "Frog Prodigy" perched on Li Changsheng's shoulder swept its tongue across the ground, swallowing the mosquitoes that swarmed towards it.
