Thinking of Wen Hanshan’s heart-to-heart words with him today, the thoughts he had in his heart finally couldn’t help emerging again. “Cough, that, I also have something I want Brother Wen to know.”
“Huh?” The moment Wen Hanshan saw Lou Xingyao’s appearance, he knew that what Lou Xingyao was about to say must be of great importance. He immediately looked solemn and listened carefully.
“This matter has to do with my inheritance…” Lou Xingyao no longer hesitated. He explained the process of discovering the space and obtaining his inheritance to Wen Hanshan in detail.
However, the matter of transmigrating to a novel was too bizarre. Lou Xingyao didn’t know how to say it even if he wanted to. Thus, he simply hid it.
He only said that after learning about the substitute marriage, he was packing his things when he accidentally discovered the things left behind by his mother.
After trying it, he found that it was actually a portable space. Inside it was the existence of the Myriad Celestial Stars Method.
“Brother Wen treats me with sincerity, so this matter shouldn’t be hidden…” Lou Xingyao was a bit embarrassed saying this.
He was indeed not at ease with Wen Hanshan at the beginning. He was worried that the other person would have the intention of killing him to take his treasure.
Later, after getting along for a while, he found that his original thoughts were like measuring a gentleman’s heart with a petty person’s mind.
Still, the stakes in this case were very high, and Lou Xingyao had no intention of confessing.
This only changed when Wen Hanshan learned he was interested in alchemy and bothered to collect various materials since two years ago.
Wen Hanshan’s tone had been very understated when mentioning the two yellow-grade cultivation methods.
Maybe for the other person, these two yellow-grade cultivation methods were indeed nothing.
But how could the sincere intention behind it and the considerable amount of effort spent over two years possibly be measured by just two yellow-grade cultivation methods?
At that time, Lou Xingyao already had the urge to share with him.
However, he was interrupted in the black market by Wen Hanshan and hadn’t been able to find the right timing.
Now that the other person had made it clear to him the origin of the cultivation method and such a secret thing as the Sword Dao Stone, Lou Xingyao naturally didn’t want to continue to hide it.
However, before he finished his explanation, he found that Wen Hanshan’s expression wasn’t surprised. Instead,it was filled with more certainty as if he had known about the existence of the space for a long time.
He was a bit confused for a while. Then he gradually fell silent.
The next moment, there was a familiar tapping on his forehead.
This was followed by Wen Hanshan’s slightly helpless tone. “How secretive did you think your little actions were?”
“What?” The thoughts in his heart were confirmed, and Lou Xingyao was shocked.
At the same time, he couldn’t help wondering in his heart. When had he exposed himself?
“Do you think spiritual plants are so easy to plant?” Knowing what Lou Xingyao was thinking, Wen Hanshan didn’t embarrass him and immediately exposed his flaws one by one.
Firstly, Lou Xingyao’s breath had disappeared for a long time on the night when the two of them bought this small courtyard.
However, the relationship between the two of them was far less close than it was now. Wen Hanshan hesitated and didn’t expose it.
Then there were the three acres of farmland in the yard.
In an ideal state, spiritual rice could indeed achieve three batches of crops a year and a yield of 600 catties per acre.
But that was only in an ideal world.
In fact, in most cases, it could only achieve two batches of crops a year and a yield of around 400 catties per acre.
If the soil was weaker then the yield was even weaker.
Then what about the three acres of farmland in their yard?
Obviously, the land was barren and the spiritual power contained in it was very weak, but it reached the ideal spiritual rice yield every time. Occasionally, there was even a surplus.
Even a three year old child wouldn’t believe there was nothing wrong.
There was also the black soil in the yard.
On the Tianming Continent, the cultivation of spiritual plants wasn’t an easy task.
Even if an experienced master cultivated a high-grade spiritual field with sufficient spiritual energy, the success was only three or four out of ten.
Among them, people with extraordinary talent might achieve a success rate of six to seven out of ten.
However, the spiritual plants in the black soil of the courtyard could achieve a 100% success rate.
This success rate wasn’t unprecedented, but almost all those who achieved it had already gone through more than one round of screening of the spiritual plant seeds before planting.
Almost all of them were of good quality and had tenacious vitality.
But Wen Hanshan was clear about the origin of the seeds in Lou Xingyao’s hands.
It was the shopkeeper who gave it when buying the spiritual rice seeds.
Since it was given away, there was no need to say much about the quality.
It was such crooked seeds that were grown to such a point by Lou Xingyao.
There was also when the two of them went out for training…
As Wen Hanshan went into more and more detail, Lou Xingyao’s expression became more desperate. In the end, it even returned to calm.
He seemed fine, but he had actually lost his soul.
He thought he had concealed this matter well. Who knew that his flaws were revealed from the beginning?
In particular, Lou Xingyao felt extremely frightened when Wen Hanshan mentioned that his breath disappeared on the first night they bought the courtyard.
At that time, he thought he had the hidden breath pendant on his body and Wen Hanshan hadn’t built his foundation, meaning he hadn’t opened his spiritual consciousness. Thus, Wen Hanshan definitely wouldn’t be able to detect the situation in the room. This made him act boldly.
Who knew that people with keen five senses didn’t need to rely on the chaotic criteria of spiritual consciousness to judge the situation in the room?
Intuition was all it took.
However, Wen Hanshan was the type of person whose intuition was unprecedentedly powerful. At almost the same moment that Lou Xingyao entered the space, Wen Hanshan was already aware of it. He just didn’t expose it on the spot out of politeness.
At the same time, Lou Xingyao couldn’t help feeling glad for his caution in the Lou family.
At that time, he had just come to this world and was inevitably a bit careful.
Looking back now, if he had been reckless at that time, he would’ve been caught in a minute by his cheap uncle.
Wen Hanshan continued, “Of course, those are just small problems. If it wasn’t for me getting along with you day and night, it would be difficult for me to see it. There is just one thing that is difficult to ignore.”
“I hope Brother Wen will resolve my doubts.” Hearing this, Lou Xingyao hurriedly put away his messy thoughts and asked for advice.
“This.” Wen Hanshan took a gourd out of his storage bag.
It was Wen Hanshan’s water bag.
At the same time, Lou Xingyao understood his biggest flaw when it came to Wen Hanshan.
It was the daily water for him and Wen Hanshan.
In the beginning, he determined that the spiritual spring water was beneficial to cultivation, so he replaced the daily water that he and Wen Hanshan used.
Obviously, Wen Hanshan had already sensed the unusualness.
Yes, he should’ve thought about this a long time ago.
It was thanks to his keen insight. Even if the spiritual spring water only slightly changed the cultivator, it definitely couldn’t be hidden from Wen Hanshan’s eyes as long as it was a little bit different.
Lou Xingyao’s heart finally completely died.
He didn’t dare to imagine it. If it wasn’t for Wen Hanshan’s tolerance, he would’ve been stabbed by the other person a long time ago.
“Before, I only knew that there should be a treasure in your hand that isn’t low-grade. I hadn’t expected it to be so heaven-defying like a portable space.” Wen Hanshan, who showed no mercy and named his flaws one by one, said in a slow voice, “I am also very happy that you are willing to share such a secret with me.”
The words were simple, but the corners of Wen Hanshan’s lips were curved up at this moment. The air of excitement that appeared around his body was very obvious.
Such an attitude reduced the frustration in Lou Xingyao’s heart a lot.
The smile on Wen Hanshan’s face was really good-looking. Lou Xingyao couldn’t help asking, “Then Brother Wen, do you want to go into my space to take a look?”
“Is it convenient?” Wen Hanshan raised an eyebrow and didn’t answer directly.
There was such a rare treasure as a portable space. Lou Xingyao’s willingness to tell him was already surprising to him, let alone taking him into it.
“What is so inconvenient about that?” The proposal might’ve been due to a whim, but Lou Xingyao didn’t regret it.
He directly put his hand in front of Wen Hanshan. The moment the other person held it, his mind moved, and he brought this person into the space.
This was the first time that Lou Xingyao had entered the portable space since he introduced qi into his body.
Perhaps due to the improvement in cultivation, Lou Xingyao didn’t have the feeling of dizziness like when he first entered the space.
Such a change was an unexpected joy.
He turned to look at Wen Hanshan on the side. He immediately saw the other person observing the space.
He saw curiosity, surprise, and exploration from Wen Hanshan at this moment, but nothing else.
Sure enough, it was just as Lou Xingyao thought. Wen Hanshan saw the space with his own eyes but had no idea of wanting to take it for himself.
Right now, Wen Hanshan’s eyes had fallen on the vermilion fruit growing freely in the spiritual field.
Then he glanced at Lou Xingyao very meaningfully. “No wonder why you couldn’t see anything else when you first saw this fruit.”
Lou Xingyao naturally knew that Wen Hanshan was referring to when he was digging the vermilion fruit, not noticing the python that was close above his head.
Looking back now, his performance at the beginning was indeed too unbearable. He hurriedly whispered softly, “I already know that I was wrong. Brother Wen, can you let me go?”
“You need to remember this alarm bell for a long time.” Wen Hanshan wasn’t a person who liked to bring up old accounts. Lou Xingyao’s performance later in his training was also remarkable.
He made a simple mention and didn’t hold onto this point again.
Lou Xingyao saw this and sighed with relief.
Don’t look at the current close relationship between the two of them. Every time Wen Hanshan taught him with a straight face, Lou Xingyao had the nervousness of facing the head teacher at school.
Seeing that Wen Hanshan was already walking slowly toward the spiritual field, Lou Xingyao didn’t think too much about it any longer. He hurriedly stepped forward. “Brother Wen, shall I show you around?”
The tone was like a child who gained a treasure and couldn’t wait to share it with someone close to him.
Wen Hanshan wasn’t disappointed. “Okay.”
“This is what I mentioned to Brother Wen just now, the spiritual field in the space. You know, when I first got this space, this place…” Lou Xingyao talked to Wen Hanshan about the process of taking care of this spiritual field.
It wasn’t hard with the manipulation of consciousness.
However, this didn’t diminish the great sense of accomplishment brought about by turning a dying wasteland into the current appearance of spiritual plants everywhere.
Speaking of which, Lou Xingyao didn’t forget to perform some consciousness manipulation on the spot for Wen Hanshan.
During the whole process, Lou Xingyao clearly just stood there quietly, doing nothing.
But in the spiritual field, there seemed to be an invisible hand picking all the ripe vermilion fruits.
After the picked vermilion fruits disappeared in mid-air, Lou Xingyao finally opened his eyes. He looked at Wen Hanshan with anticipation and asked, “How is it?”
“It is amazing.” Wen Hanshan praised him, giving him a lot of face.
Lou Xingyao obviously enjoyed this. Then he soon felt regret. “It is a pity that I can only collect this much every time. If I want to continue, I have to rest for a night first, or I will get a headache.”
At first, there weren’t too many seeds, and Lou Xingyao didn’t find this problem.
It wasn’t until he planted all the spiritual fields that he gradually discovered his consciousness control seemed to be limited.
For example, if he wanted to continue planting after harvesting an entire acre of spiritual field, he needed to rest first.
He would feel a tingling sensation in his brain if he forced it.
It was like a thousand needles stirring in his brain. It was really uncomfortable.
After trying it once, Lou Xingyao didn’t want to experience it again a second time in his life.
