Chapter 28: Xiao Ba's Clever Use

  A new week, brothers and sisters continue to support Lao Ao

  ……

  Fortunately, its limbs were long enough, so it didn't need to worry about this problem. It tapped the ground twice and flipped over in an instant. It shook its head, found that it had already left Ling Tian far behind, and then opened its four limbs, rushing towards its master's direction with a loud thud. Due to the turtle shell, it twisted its buttocks and swung its tail, making its pace look particularly "handsome and domineering". In fact, it thought so itself.

  But Chen Mo, after pinching to death a number of demonic insects, once again heard the familiar voice from earlier. His heart was filled with doubt, it had only been a short while ago, and at the speed of that turtle, it would take at least a little more time... how could it be now...

  He parted the grass and followed the sound, and sure enough, he saw that damned turtle again. He muttered to himself, "This one big pest is worth a lot of monsters." However, he thought, it's not enough for Xiaobai to throw it just a few times.

  He was about to rush up and get him all tangled up, but unexpectedly saw that the Ling Suo being bitten by Xiao Ba was not damaged in the slightest. This made him feel extremely surprised. If it wasn't for coming to eat the Ling Mi, then Xiao Ba was...

  Suddenly enlightened, Chen Mo's joints loosened and he became excited. The Ling Beast was indeed not just a myth, it had such a function. Overjoyed, he pushed aside the Ling Canopy and strode swiftly to Xiao Ba's side.

  Xiao Ba saw that its master had appeared again, and hastily dropped the rice ear from its mouth. It also knew it couldn't catch up with its master at its own speed, so it simply shrunk into its shell. After all, its shell was hard, so whatever, it just wouldn't come out.

  "Hey, Xiao Ba, come out and let's discuss something."

  "Xiao Ba, Xiao Ba?"

  "Xiao Ba, come out, I have something delicious for you."

  Chen Mo called out several times, but Xiao Ba's turtle head just wouldn't come out. Chen Mo didn't get discouraged, found a tree branch the size of a chopstick, and poked at the little eight inside.

  "Ka." Xiao Ba couldn't bear it anymore. As the saying goes, an uncle can tolerate, but an aunt cannot, and that's exactly what happened here. The clay Bodhisattva still had a bit of temper, but I, Xiaoba, have a good temper, yet far from reaching the level of the clay Bodhisattva. They even bullied me to my own doorstep! Looking at the branch poking out in front of me, I took a bite of it.

  Watching the movement, Chen Mo was delighted, and with a pull, the turtle's head was pulled out, then he pinched Xiao Ba's long neck, leaving only Xiao Ba's four limbs flapping wildly.

  "Heh heh, can't take it anymore?" Xiaobai heard the master's evil laughter at the same time and saw his sly expression, tail twitching. If he had goosebumps, they would probably be enough to fertilize an entire field, because the master's appearance was really... sleazy, if he knew those two words.

  Pressed its head hard, swallowed a spiritual awn. Then pulled it out 'cruelly', and indeed, there were no more demonic insects in the spiritual awn.

  Originally, Xiao Ba was not eating the spiritual rice itself, but rather the demonic insects inside it. These insects were not only plump and full of energy, but their energy levels had also increased after consuming the spiritual rice. To Xiao Ba, these insects were far more attractive than the spiritual rice.

  As a result, Xiaobai became the insectivorous monster. After it was all over, even though its appetite was extremely good and the insects were plump and delicious, it had been stuffed to the point where it never wanted to hear the word "insect" again in this lifetime.

  Let's listen to Li Qian's words. This time, although the pest control measures were taken in a timely manner, the overall yield will still be reduced by at least 30%.

  At this time, Li Qian and those tenant farmers looked at Chen Mo with genuine admiration. Encountering such an event, they were still able to keep so many Linggu Valley, which showed the young master's ability and luck.

  After a night of hard work, all the tenant farmers went to sleep.

  Chen Mo's heart was not reconciled, and he found a severely damaged Ling Suo to observe carefully. The grains in that Ling Suo had been destroyed, with the unformed spiritual rice paste already broken.

  Linggu's withered and exuding a dead air, it won't be long before this spiritual grain will wither and die. Chen Mo felt a pang of sorrow in his heart, it won't take many days for Linggu to mature.

  He attempted to use the Bright Mystic Energy, slowly pouring it in, hoping to nourish the Spiritual Valley and help it recover its vitality.

  His bright and mysterious aura was born from the Qingmu Jue, the greatest characteristic of the wood system's mysterious aura is that it represents vigorous vitality, especially for plants, which has a great benefit. Some high-level cultivators of the wood system's mysterious aura can achieve far better results when planting spiritual plants than ordinary people.

  Unfortunately, his Xuan Qi cultivation level was too low, only at the middle stage of Ling Tu, and his recovery power was extremely weak. It was fundamentally impossible to use it to save these dying Ling Gu.

  Just as he was sighing in pain and regret, preparing to accept the fact and give up on using Xuan Qi to treat it, a mysterious thing happened. In his sea of consciousness, that almost-neglected seed with a tender sprout underwent a subtle change.

  A drop of tender green liquid, oozing out from the young and tender leaves, pressed down on the delicate leaves, curved at the waist, finally dripping into the sea of consciousness, stirring up ripples.

  At the same time, the green liquid turned into countless fine particles and merged into Chen Mo's sea of consciousness. Through Chen Mo's bright mysterious energy as a medium, it merged into the Spiritual Valley. A thread of green intention reached the Spiritual Apex, and in an instant, it drove away the dead energy of the Spiritual Apex, merging with the endless vitality.

  Not only that, its vitality is constantly expanding, and it quickly recovers the plant's operation. The leaves greedily absorb the purest and most ancient energy between heaven and earth from the morning sunlight. The slender and dense spirit valley roots are full of strength, desperately absorbing the nutrients and spiritual energy of the earth.

  Linggu is a plant, and plants are life. After suffering a major crisis and being reborn with a hint of green liquid, it began to frantically drive every organ of the plant with all its might.

  In the blink of an eye, Chen Mo was amazed to discover that the nearly withered spiritual grain had been revitalized and condensed into spiritual rice. Chen Mo's heart leapt with joy, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders. At least now, his family would no longer suffer from pressure. Moreover, according to his observations, it seemed that the green liquid had taken effect, as the newly irrigated rice paste was like crystal clear jade liquid, its quality even better than before.

  The green liquid scattered in the sea of consciousness, if not used for a long time, will dissipate on its own. Chen Mo, who didn't dare to linger, after 'healing' one spiritual seedling, began with the next one.

  This sprout of spiritual energy suffered relatively minor damage and was easier to treat, costing only a thread of green intent.

  After several attempts, Chen Mo finally discovered a rule. Those small Lingguo that were rescued and treated consumed very little green liquid, but after re-infusing the two liquids together, their quality became ordinary.

  And the more severe the disaster, the more life-threatening the soul is, the more green liquid it takes to rescue and treat. But at the same time, the newly infused sap is even more transparent and crystalline, of better quality.

  After having such an experience, Chen Mo instead put his main energy on those spirits that were on the verge of death. Because he knew that if the quality of the infusion was higher, the final crystallized spirit rice would be even better. A high-quality spirit rice, at least ten times more expensive.

  At this point, Chen Mo was somewhat disappointed that the disaster in the spiritual field was not severe enough. However, after spending half a day treating all the affected spiritual grains, he not only exhausted his entire body's radiant primordial energy but also used up the last drop of green liquid, and a wave of weakness surged through his body.

  After entrusting Li Qian and He Lian Huo Wu to take turns keeping watch at night, Chen Mo, who had exhausted himself in all aspects, ate and drank something. After returning to the small hut, he couldn't hold on any longer and fell head-first onto the bed, sleeping soundly.

  I slept for seven or eight hours, and when I woke up again, it was already the next morning. The internal injury had improved a bit. The feeling of weakness and powerlessness throughout my body last night had all disappeared, replaced by a refreshing and invigorating spirit.

  He carefully examined his body and found that his Xuan Qi had made significant progress, and he felt a great sense of relief. It turned out that this was also a kind of cultivation.

  For the time being, I'll put aside my concerns about Linggu's success or failure. After a simple wash, I slipped out of the spiritual field. What entered my sight was a scene of lush greenery interspersed with tender yellow wheat ears.

  The spirit valley, which had suffered greatly, has now regained its vitality. The grains are plump and full, the ears of grain are bent down by their own weight, heavy with fruit, a truly delightful sight.

  "Second Brother, Second Brother, what kind of magic have you used?" He Lian Huo Wu, who had not slept all night, was in high spirits. As soon as he saw Chen Mo's excited little face turn red,

  Like a red lark, she fluttered to his side, blinking her big, shining eyes, full of curiosity and excitement: "Linggu Valley has improved overnight, growing better than before. Uncle Li said that this year may harvest many mid-grade spiritual rice. This is great! We can exchange for many, many elixirs, letting Second Brother quickly cultivate to the high ranks, no, quickly advance to Spiritual Master."

  Hehe, this girl... Chen Mo's heart felt extremely warm and at ease as he looked at her, so he said: "Let's talk about this matter after we get through this difficult time, also, this matter must be kept secret."

  "Miss Dance, Second Master said it's not bad, this matter must be kept secret." Li Qian also came over with a heart full of comfort, but then seriously said: "Master, I've already found an excuse to let the tenant farmers stay away from the spiritual field, and let them manage the ordinary rice fields. Just one mu of spiritual field, we can handle it easily."

  Li Qian was loyal to the Chen family, but he was shocked by Chen Mo's means. Such a mysterious thing, he had never heard of it before. It also made him excited and proud that the young master who had always been scolded as a waste could be so capable.

  They had previously placed their hopes on He Lian Huo Wu, but unfortunately, no matter how formidable she was, she was still an adopted daughter from a different surname. Now that the second young master has revealed his exceptional talent and ingenious methods, he is overjoyed to the extreme.

  He cautiously excluded the tenants from the beginning. Although the tenants were all honest, there were many mouths and words would spread out, which would cause trouble for Second Master.

  "Uncle Li, the masked man I killed two days ago was originally a guest of our household, wasn't he? Now whose banner has he defected to?" Chen Mo's eyebrows furrowed in concern.
