Chapter 8
: "Frog Prodigy" Unleashes His Skills, "Talismanic Artifacts" Show Thei
Li Changsheng was quite troubled by the "half-spirit insects" that appeared in the wasteland, which led him to consider buying a "toad" spirit beast cub.
Cultivating "Frog Prodigy" requires "Half-Spirit Insect".
That suited his taste perfectly.
"You dead insects, just wait for your nemesis to arrive..."
Li Changsheng thought of "Frog Prodigy" devouring all the insects in the wasteland one by one, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He quickened his pace.
During this time, I checked the breeding method of "Great Wisdom", also known as "Mountain Dog". It is simpler than breeding "Frog Prodigy". It only requires some food and some "Half-Spirit Insect" meat.
"It's fate that I must kill them..."
Li Changsheng pressed on without returning home, heading straight for the "spiritual field" he had cultivated.
Half an hour later.
Li Changsheng stood on the edge of his own "spiritual field" and glanced at the barren field beside him. He was not to see Fang Yuan, which made him very disappointed.
I finally bought a big item, and I feel like something's missing if I don't share it with my friends.
Thinking that Fang Yuan would come sooner or later, his mood brightened again. He hummed a tune that others couldn't understand and walked into the half-acre of spiritual field he had cultivated that morning.
Looking at the lush goosegrass in the wasteland, Li Changsheng no longer felt the headache he used to have. Instead of rushing to cultivate the spirit field, he circulated his spiritual power and formed a simple spiritual contract with "Frog Prodigy" and "Great Wisdom".
It is said to be a spiritual pact.
In reality, it was just leaving a "spiritual mark" to show that it had an owner and to prevent the two cubs of the spirit beast from running away and getting lost.
Li Changsheng dug a hole with a hoe, put Da Congming inside, patted its pointed head, and laughed:
"Stay put, I'll cook for you when I get back later."
Da Congming lay in the dirt hole, not making a sound, just staring blankly, not knowing what he was looking at.
"What a brilliant person..."
Li Changsheng shook his head slightly, then looked at the small, dusty "Frog Prodigy" in his palm, tapped its head lightly, and said with a smile:
"Frog Prodigy, whether your master stays away from insect bites depends entirely on you..."
After saying that, he placed it on his shoulder.
"Frog Prodigy" truly lives up to its name; with a hook of its paw, it firmly perched on his shoulder, as immovable as a mountain.
"Not bad, not bad..."
Li Changsheng tilted his head and looked at it, becoming more and more delighted. He praised it a couple of times, picked up the "talisman" hoe, and went to the wasteland.
He raised the hoe, placed his palm on the sharp "rune," and channeled his spiritual power into it.
In his perception, the "runes" were like sponges, constantly absorbing spiritual energy.
Until one-third of the spiritual energy cluster in the dantian disappeared.
hum…
A sense of rejection washed over him. Li Changsheng subconsciously raised his palm.
Then, a dazzling golden light flowed from the sharp "rune," covering the hoe blade like water and giving it a golden hue.
Just by looking at it, one can feel a sharp and piercing aura emanating from it.
Li Changsheng waved his hand lightly, and a hissing sound like a sharp sword tearing through the air immediately rang out.
His eyes lit up, and he thought to himself with delight:
"So this is a 'talismanic artifact'? It's truly impressive..."
He immediately dared not delay, raised the hoe, and swung it down forcefully.
Click...
All that could be heard was the sound of fine grass roots snapping. Without much effort, the "talismanic" hoe easily sank into the soil, reaching a depth of more than nine inches.
Li Changsheng gently shook the "talismanic artifact" hoe, causing the soil to churn and the exposed, fine weed roots, as if severed by a sword, to flow with white sap.
"Okay, okay..."
Li Changsheng was overjoyed.
Now that he has the "talismanic artifact" hoe, he can cultivate three acres of high-quality spiritual fields in a short time, and maybe even plant two crops of spiritual rice before the sect's acceptance inspection.
The spirit rice grown during the task of clearing wasteland.
They don't have to pay 50% land tax to the sect; all the profits are theirs.
This is one of the few benefits that the sect provides to spirit farmers.
With this in mind, Li Changsheng was immediately filled with energy and picked up his hoe to continue cultivating the wasteland.
Plots of wasteland became soft, and weeds lay flat on the ground.
Whenever the golden light of the "talismanic artifact" hoe disappeared, he would channel spiritual energy into it to reactivate the "rune". When his dantian spiritual energy was completely depleted, he would meditate to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to restore his spiritual energy.
that's it.
The wasteland has been transformed into new fields to the naked eye.
The falling weeds also awakened the insects hiding in them. Some insects flew into the depths of the weeds, while others went straight for Li Changsheng.
at this time.
The "Frog Prodigy," which had been dozing on Li Changsheng's shoulder, seemed to sense the arrival of food. It opened its eyes, its mouth opening and closing, and a blur flashed by as a mosquito that had been trying to stare at Li Changsheng's face disappeared.
And then it didn't stop.
As its head moved, afterimages flashed by, and the buzzing insects surrounding Li Changsheng fell into its mouth.
As if it had discovered something, "Frog Prodigy" raised its limbs and stared intently at a withered weed not far from Li Changsheng.
A gentle breeze swept by.
call out…
A creature resembling a grasshopper, with a withered yellow body that resembled weeds, suddenly leaped from the branches of the weeds like lightning, baring its fangs, and headed straight for Li Changsheng's face.
"Um?…"
A sudden sense of alarm struck Li Changsheng, and he instinctively raised his arm.
With a "bang," he felt a sharp pain in his arm, and then saw a withered yellow grasshopper wobbling and flying up.
"Half-spirit worm..."
Li Changsheng's gaze sharpened, and he was just about to use his "talismanic weapon" hoe to strike it when a slender tongue suddenly appeared, binding the withered grasshopper into a ball before quickly retracting.
I turned my head to look.
Then, a piece of insect wing dangled from the "Frog Prodigy's" mouth. It opened and closed its mouth and swallowed it whole.
As if he had just eaten something delicious, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Excellent, excellent, truly worthy of the title 'Frog Prodigy'..."
Seeing that the "half-spirit worm" that usually gave him a headache was so easily eaten by the "frog prodigy," Li Changsheng immediately praised it a few times, then wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked around.
As the sun sets in the west.
The farmers gradually began to work in the fields.
To his disappointment...
Fang Yuan, who is usually diligent and tireless, has not yet arrived.
"Brother Fang has become lax..."
Li Changsheng was greatly disappointed, thinking that when he got home he would remind him that he shouldn't give up cultivating immortality just because he was tired.
Thinking this, he bent down and continued tilling the field.
Time passed little by little.
The scorching breeze gradually became cool and pleasant, and the mosquitoes, suppressed by the intense heat, became active again.
In the past...
Li Changsheng would start cultivating the land with a hoe, then stop precisely to swat a few mosquitoes before continuing his work.
But now "Frog Prodigy" is perched on his shoulder!
Those mere insects can be destroyed with a flick of the tongue.
This allowed him to enjoy a long-awaited period of cool breezes without the annoyance of mosquitoes.
One word: "Awesome!"
The efficiency of land reclamation has greatly increased.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, a rosy glow appeared on the sky.
"call…"
Li Changsheng straightened up, stretched his aching back, let out a soft sigh, and turned to look at a small patch of newly cultivated spiritual fields that came into view.
I did a quick assessment.
In one afternoon, he probably cleared out three-tenths of a spiritual field.
What does that mean?
This means that he only needs ten days to cultivate three acres of spiritual land.
Most importantly, the remaining eleven-plus months of the "opening up of spiritual fields" mission period are enough for him to grow spiritual rice twice a year.
It can be said.
"Frog Prodigy" plus "Talisman Weapon" hoe.
This allowed him to harvest one more crop of spirit rice than other newly initiated spirit farmers.
A single crop of spirit rice is no small sum of money.
"If only we could open up more spirit fields..."
Li Changsheng thought to himself, his greed insatiable.
At this time.
A somewhat wooden voice came from behind.
"Junior Brother Li, you're busy."
"By the way, what do you think of this 'talismanic artifact' I just acquired..."
Cultivating "Frog Prodigy" requires "Half-Spirit Insect".
That suited his taste perfectly.
"You dead insects, just wait for your nemesis to arrive..."
