Chapter 22

: The liberated serfs sing songs of joy, water abounds and nature is good.

"Three hundred and sixteen flowers..."

Li Changsheng was overjoyed and quickly did some calculations.

If all the flowers of the "love flower" turn into fruit and ripen.

There are 316 fruits.

The sect owns half, 158 pieces, which are sold at the price of one low-grade spirit stone each, yielding 158 low-grade spirit stones.

The remaining 158 "Love Flower" fruits.

According to market prices, one fruit is worth two low-grade spirit stones, which is 316 low-grade spirit stones.

Add them all up.

The "Love Flower" yields 474 low-grade spirit stones in one season.

"Hiss, nearly five hundred low-grade spirit stones..."

After a moment's thought, Li Changsheng couldn't help but take a deep breath, his joy growing even stronger.

Five hundred low-grade spirit stones!

That's enough for him to buy a low-grade "Spirit Gathering Array".

This is enough to buy nearly 500 catties of "Huangya Rice" and 500 pills of "Huangya Pill".

And there were also the "Minor Cloud Rain Technique" and "Golden Edge Technique" that he longed for, a complete set of farming "talismanic artifacts," and the large livestock he coveted...

"My good days are finally coming..."

Thinking of the harvest after opening up the "paddy fields", Li Changsheng suddenly felt like a serf who had been liberated and was now singing. It took him a while to calm down and suppress his excitement.

With a slight thought, he put away the "Love Flower" seed of his destiny.

Carrying a hoe and some weeds, humming a tune no one could understand, they walked out of the spiritual field with cheerful steps.

The future prospects are broad.

But life goes on.

After some haggling with Liu Quan, who was buying weeds, Li Changsheng sold over 190 jin of weeds that did not contain the roots and stems of Eleusine indica. This gave him an additional low-grade spirit stone from his 35 fragments of spirit.

They returned to their own courtyard.

  

He immediately planted the "love flower," a seed of destiny.

After checking again to make sure everything was alright, I returned to the front yard.

Not long after.

Accompanied by the clanging sound of chopping vegetables, wisps of smoke rose from the chimney.

As usual, Li Changsheng fed "Frog Pride" a bowl of beef tendon root porridge. After the stew was cooked, he sat in the courtyard and ate with Da Congming, whose meal included a "half-spirit worm".

Gazing at the bright moon in the sky, I felt a surge of ambition.

"Wait a little longer, it won't be long..."

"You could make a mixed rice porridge with yellow sprout rice, it would definitely be incredibly delicious..."

Perhaps it was because his cooking skills had improved, but he found the stew tonight to be especially delicious and savory, and he devoured a large bowl of it.

After a quick wash, he entered the room carrying the mosquito-repelling device "Frog Prodigy" in his left hand and a wine jar containing "spiritual spring water" in his right.

As for "great wisdom".

I built it a doghouse.

It's not a small dog anymore; it needs to learn to pee outside...

inside the house.

Li Changsheng placed "Frog Prodigy" on the bed, sat cross-legged, picked up the "wine jar" and took a big gulp.

Sensing the spiritual energy surging in his stomach, he closed his eyes, concentrated, and began to absorb and refine it using the "Wood Spirit Technique."

The emerging "wood spirit energy" still possesses a gentle nature.

With a little effort, it obediently flows into the spiritual meridians, circulates throughout the body, fills the body with energy, and falls into the dantian, harmoniously integrating into the spiritual energy family and becoming a part of it.

"As expected, people with lots of water in their bodies are generally good-natured..."

Humans are.

Spiritual energy is also...

A night of hard work.

Li Changsheng felt refreshed and energetic, without the slightest fatigue. He sensed that his dantian had gained far more spiritual power than usual, and a smile appeared on his face as he focused his gaze on himself.

[Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Level 1 "23%"]

After a night of consolidation, the stock price rose by 5%.

"As expected, the effects of cultivating with spiritual resources are completely different from those of painstakingly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth..."

Although he had expected it, Li Changsheng was still overjoyed to see his cultivation level increase by 5%.

An increase of 5% overnight.

If he continues to cultivate using "spiritual spring water," he will be able to break through to the second level of Qi Refining in just fifteen days.

"Not bad, not bad..."

Li Changsheng nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the wine jar beside him.

The "spiritual spring water" was not consumed much, and there was still a small half-jar left. However, after evaporating overnight, the "spiritual energy" contained within it had thinned by a small amount.

He didn't care much about it.

Since there's already a "spiritual spring," a mere jar of "spiritual spring water" will simply evaporate.

"It's a pity I can't cultivate day and night..."

Li Changsheng felt the soreness from his spiritual veins and knew it was caused by overexertion. He shook his head slightly, stopped thinking about it, got up from the bed, and was stunned when his gaze fell on the wooden table.

"Um?…"

It was on the wooden table.

Lying there was a yellowish-brown toad, about the size of two adult fists.

It is indeed "Frog Prodigy".

Overnight, its size nearly doubled.

"No, what's going on..."

Li Changsheng was startled, fearing that something might happen to "Frog Prodigy," so he hurriedly went over and placed his hand on its head.

His gaze was fixed on her.

An information panel appeared.

[Target: The Frog Prodigy]

[Attribute: Earth]

[Cultivation Level: Unranked "90%"]

Bloodline: Unknown

[Innate Spell: In Development...]

Quality: ★★★

Status: Healthy

One night passed.

"Frog Prodigy" experienced a 35% surge in cultivation.

"Are the effects of a Grade-A spirit insect really that strong...?"

Upon receiving the information, Li Changsheng's eyes widened immediately, his expression filled with delight.

His face lit up with joy when he saw the newly added "Talented Spells" section.

"Truly my 'Frog Prodigy'..."

However, upon seeing the three-star quality of "Frog Prodigy," Li Changsheng was instantly relieved. Prodigies are different from ordinary creatures. He praised it a few times, picked up "Frog Prodigy," and went out with a wine jar and a hoe.

His gaze swept around.

He quickly found Da Congming fast asleep in a small hole under the jujube tree. He glanced at the newly built doghouse next to it and was speechless.

"Fine, I'll just stay wherever I like..."

He stepped forward and checked Da Congming's cultivation progress, which was exactly the same as yesterday, with a 5% increase.

"good."

Li Changsheng nodded in satisfaction, put down "Frog Prodigy," turned around and went into the backyard, arriving in front of the "Love Flower," a seed of destiny.

One night passed.

The pink and white flowers have become much droopy, and the flower stems are slightly swollen, clearly indicating that they are about to enter the fruiting period.

"One, two..."

Li Changsheng's eyes lit up with joy as he checked the number of flowers.

But as he counted to the end, the pink and white flowers gradually decreased, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

"Two hundred and ninety-six..."

Li Changsheng's face suddenly turned gloomy. He squatted down and looked at the roots of the "Love Flower" seed, but found no withered petals.

The results are obvious.

The thief has come to rob his life again.

"Okay, okay..."

Li Changsheng was so angry that he laughed in an instant.

This thief really took advantage of him, snapping at him relentlessly. Twenty flowers meant twenty fruits, and forty low-grade spirit stones.

And forty spirit stones.

He worked hard for more than half a month and only earned this much.

Thinking of all this, Li Changsheng's heart was filled with murderous intent. It was also his own fault for being so immersed in the joy of cultivation, and for not expecting that this damned thief would dare to make such frequent attacks.

They really value money more than their lives.

"You're courting death, aren't you? We'll see..."
