Chapter 26
: Ning Cheng, Jin Yu Qingtian
Li Changsheng didn't think much of it. Fang Yuan wasn't coming to the spirit field because he must have his own things to do, and it wasn't his place to worry about it.
Stepping over to the "Spirit Spring".
Release the "Love Flower" seed from the "Life Pouch".
After a morning, all the petals of the "Love Flower" seed had withered, replaced by unripe fruits no bigger than a little finger.
"Grow up quickly, and bear big, round fruit for my master..."
Looking at the delightful fruits, Li Changsheng felt inexplicably happy.
Place "Frog Prodigy" in the shade, carefully lift the mud-sealed wine jar, and fill a jade jar with "spiritual spring water".
After closing the jade jar, I picked up the "Big Smart" dog, which kept sniffing this and nudging that with its pointed head. I stroked its pointed head and tapped the small copper bell on its neck, which made a tinkling sound.
"You're allowed to play in the spirit field, don't go outside, understand?...
"Big Smart" stuck out its tongue and licked his hand, making little noises, its cross-eyed eyes looking somewhere, which was quite amusing.
"Go..."
Li Changsheng smiled and put down the "Great Wisdom" (a type of sickle), picked up the sickle, and began clearing the weeds around the field ridges, while also tamping the ridges down with his feet.
Today's work is relatively easy.
As he cleared the field ridges, he kept an eye on "Big Smarty," who was chasing grasshoppers and jumping around beside him.
As the sun dipped below the horizon.
Li Changsheng quickly cleared away the weeds around the edge of the field, and the mud-sealed jar of the "spiritual spring" was exposed.
He didn't care about that.
Once the paddy fields are opened up, the existence of the "spiritual spring" will definitely be exposed.
Li Changsheng had even prepared to temporarily build a hut next to the "spiritual field" and then set up an "array" when the "love flower" fruit ripened.
While he was clearing away the weeds.
A familiar shout came from the side.
"Junior Brother Li, did you hire someone to eliminate the 'Spirit Field'?..."
Li Changsheng stood up and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw Fang Yuan, who had been missing for half a day, dressed in a brocade robe and wearing a jade crown, looking quite respectable.
And beside him.
Standing there was a beautiful young woman, about sixteen years old, dressed in purple.
"Why is this guy suddenly putting on an act?... "
Li Changsheng gave Fang Yuan a strange look, then his gaze fell on the girl in purple. Thinking of Fang Yuan's words, he immediately knew that she was the one who had accepted the mission of "eliminating the spirit field".
"They came so fast."
Overjoyed, he quickly walked over.
They came closer.
"Senior Brother Fang."
Li Changsheng nodded to the well-dressed Fang Yuan, then looked at the woman in purple and said politely:
"My name is Li Changsheng. Have you taken on the mission to eliminate spirit fields for the 'Affairs Hall'?"
Ning Cheng nodded slightly and said politely with a smile, "It was a task I accepted. Fellow Daoist Li, please awaken Ning Cheng. I am also a spirit farmer, but not in the Ding-character area, but in the Jia-character area."
"Area A..."
Li Changsheng's eyes widened in surprise. The spiritual fields in District A were known for their fertility, and they were all mature fields cultivated for a hundred years. It didn't matter if his cultivation level wasn't at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, but he couldn't rent them.
He immediately replied politely:
"So it was Senior Sister Ning in person. I'll have to trouble Senior Sister Ning from now on."
Ning Cheng smiled and said, "Junior Brother Li, you're too kind."
Just a few words.
The initial distrust and unfamiliarity between the two was broken down.
"Junior Brother Li, please wait a moment while I take a look at the spirit field."
Ning Cheng nodded slightly, not minding the large size of the spirit field, and stepped inside. When she saw Da Congming chasing grasshoppers, a strange look flashed across her eyes.
"So ugly... what a strange little dog..."
ridge.
Fang Yuan, who had remained silent until now, pointed to a fishpond in the corner of the spirit field and couldn't help but ask:
"Junior Brother Li, are you really going to open up paddy fields?... "
"Um."
Li Changsheng nodded without turning his head. Looking at Ning Cheng's ruler-like steps, he immediately understood that she was not checking the spirit field, but measuring its size.
He couldn't help but think to himself:
"As expected, the wealthier people are, the stingier they are. Three acres of spirit land, would I lie to you..."
Fang Yuan glanced at him with pity, opened her mouth as if to say something, but swallowed the words back down.
"Fine, even if Junior Brother Li loses his spirit field, he still has other ways to make a living. It's good to try his luck with the paddy field..."
"The Fairy Cuilian should be arriving soon..."
Thinking to himself, he brushed the dust off his brocade robe and said:
"I have other things to do, Junior Brother Li, you go ahead with your work."
Having said that, he turned around gracefully and left, stepping through the dust.
"What a show-off..."
Li Changsheng watched Fang Yuan's retreating figure, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, then turned around and walked towards Ning Cheng, who had finished measuring the spirit field.
"This Junior Brother Li has quite the ambition to cultivate paddy fields. Well, that'll save us some trouble..."
Ning Cheng looked at the crisscrossing fish ditches, a thought flashing through her mind. She smiled at Li Changsheng, who was walking towards her:
"I see that my junior brother intends to cultivate paddy fields, is that right?...
Li Changsheng understood the implication in her words, nodded politely, and said, "I wonder what advice Senior Sister Ning has for me?"
Ning Cheng didn't waste any words and said with a smile, "If we open up dry fields, we can kill as many insect eggs and weed roots hidden underground as possible."
"But if we open up paddy fields to raise spirit fish, we can't kill them too cleanly, lest the spirit fish have nothing to eat."
She paused for a moment, then said:
"Therefore, I suggest that Junior Brother Li disinfect half of them and leave the other half for the spirit fish to eat."
Li Changsheng thought about it and agreed with Ning Cheng's words. He immediately nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Senior Sister Ning to eliminate half of them."
"it is good."
Ning Cheng smiled and said, "Junior Brother Li, please wait on the edge of the field first, so that I don't hurt you when I cast the spell later."
At this point, he pointed at Da Congming, his expression strange, and said:
"And don't forget to take the puppy out with you..."
"Thank you for your help, Senior Sister Ning."
Li Changsheng nodded politely, turned around, picked up "Da Congming" and left the spirit field. He stood by the field ridge and looked at it curiously.
He didn't have to wait long.
A dazzling golden light emanated from Ning Cheng's body, gathering above her head like a small sun, radiating brilliant brilliance.
"fall!"
A delicate shout.
The small sun floating above her head suddenly burst forth with a dense rain of golden light. As Ning Cheng strolled around, the golden light rain fell evenly onto the spirit field, creating tiny, pinhole-sized pits.
"hiss…"
Looking at this spectacular scene, Li Changsheng couldn't help but gasp, his heart filled with indescribable shock.
"Is this the power of 'magic'? It's too strong..."
Coming to his senses, his eyes gleamed with excitement, and his desire to purchase magical techniques for cultivation instantly reached its peak.
What kind of bullshit cultivation is it to do farm work every day?
With a wave of his hand, countless golden raindrops fall—this is the true essence of a cultivator!
The light rain continued for several dozen breaths before finally stopping.
Just as Li Changsheng was anticipating her next move.
Ning Cheng walked to the edge of the field, nodded and smiled, "Junior Brother Li, you can inspect it."
Ok?
Is that all?
Li Changsheng was taken aback. Coming to his senses, he looked at Ning Cheng, whose face was slightly pale, and nodded without saying anything. He then stepped into the spirit field.
The verification method is simple; just dig it open and see.
He crouched down, looking at the numerous tiny pits covering the spirit field, and couldn't help but marvel at its power once again.
"I wonder what kind of technique it is, some kind of golden needle technique?... "
Thinking to himself, he dug into the soil.
As the soil was dug up, the sight of the yellowed, withered roots of weeds and the motionless insects filled me with even greater shock.
Dozens of places were inspected in succession.
Li Changsheng had to admit that Ning Cheng had completely destroyed the spirit field in just a few dozen breaths.
Back on the edge of the field.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Ning."
Li Changsheng looked at Ning Cheng, whose complexion was rosy and resembled that of an ordinary person, cupped his hands slightly, hesitated for a moment, and asked curiously:
"Senior Sister Ning, what is the name of this spell?"
"Golden Rain Technique, Intermediate-level spell."
Ning Cheng said with a smile, "Next time Junior Brother Li wants to eliminate the spirit field, you can find me in 'A District'. Just give me my name."
After speaking, he nodded slightly, turned around and took a step. His body was like a wisp of smoke, and he quickly disappeared into the distance.
"Golden Rain Technique..."
Stepping over to the "Spirit Spring".
