Chapter 10: It’s harvest time!

Three days later.

The farmland, which was not short of moisture, was once again irrigated by rain.

This made Li Ping'an want to curse a bit.

Just the rain during this period meant he would lose at least several hundred Cultivation Points.

Tiankui City had calmed down.

Ten thousand new soldiers, five hundred strong horses, and military supplies were already on their way to the East Border.

To be safe, An Ruoyi also accompanied the army, and before departing, she even came to Da Huai Village to bid Li Ping'an a fond farewell.

Five days later.

The weather finally stabilized.

The scorching sun beat down, without a trace of dark clouds or cool breeze.

“Rain, come.”

Li Ping'an was very happy; he walked through the fields, and with a raised palm, a shower of sweet dew fell.

Thirty mu of good farmland and two mu of Spirit Field were each watered once, exchanging 3200 points of spiritual power for 80 Cultivation Points.

At this time, the corn cobs in the Spirit Field had grown very pleasingly, and it looked like they would be ready for harvest in another three to five days.

The corn in Da Huai Village had not even sprouted yet.

This was not Spirit Field, so even if it wasn't short of moisture, it would still take three months to mature.

For the next few days, Li Ping'an was very busy.

He had to watch over the Spirit Field here and also guard against the corn in Da Huai Village being sabotaged.

Another five days passed, and the Spirit Field corn finally reached harvest season.

It was still dark.

Li Ping'an went to the fields, throwing each picked cob into the System warehouse, his hand speed getting faster and faster.

(Ding: Congratulations to the Host, you have unexpectedly obtained a Cultivation Treasure Chest while picking corn.)

“Cultivation Point Treasure Chest?”

Li Ping'an's heart rejoiced; he indeed saw a treasure chest appear in the System warehouse, “System, is this the mysterious reward you spoke of?”

System: ‘This is not a mysterious reward; only a Mysterious Treasure Chest counts.’

Hearing this,

Li Ping'an's hand speed became much faster.

After harvesting the two mu of Spirit Field corn, he obtained two Cultivation Treasure Chests, and finally, the Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence Mysterious Treasure Chest!

Li Ping'an was not in a hurry to open them.

He cleared all the corn stalks from the field, then swung his hoe like a tilling machine and tilled it all over again.

(Ding: Cultivation Points + 10)

Following that,

He took out the corn seeds from the System warehouse and continued planting; the season was not late now, and this Spirit Field matured quickly, so with enough diligence, he could harvest again.

(Ding: Cultivation Points + 10)

“Rain, come.”

Li Ping'an whispered, and raindrops pattered down.

After watering these two mu of Spirit Field, he once again gained 20 Cultivation Points.

Li Ping'an took out some food, and while filling his stomach, walked towards Da Huai Village; there was no lack of water here, nor weeds, so it didn't need care for now.

However, Da Huai Village needed to be watched closely.

“System, open all three treasure chests for me.”

Li Ping'an ultimately couldn't resist.

To get better rewards and to open them to his heart's content, he had to open them all at once.

(Ding: Congratulations to the Host for opening a Cultivation Treasure Chest, gaining 50 Cultivation Points.)

(Ding: Wow, you're in luck! While opening a Cultivation Treasure Chest, you gained 50 Cultivation Points and a one-in-ten-thousand Divine Beast Embryo!!!)

(Ding: Host, what's wrong with you lately? Your luck is too Heaven-Defying! Opening a Mysterious Treasure Chest has yielded another one-in-ten-thousand Divine Beast Embryo, and the Farmer's Legacy Immortal Art: Hoeing the Heavens!!!)

This voice...

It sounded a bit excited.

It wasn't Li Ping'an who was excited, but the System itself seemed stimulated and excited.

“Wow, really?”

“Is my luck really that good?”

Li Ping'an cooperatively asked in surprise.

After all, the System was excited, so he had to cooperate and give it some Face, right?

System: ‘What's your expression? This System despises you.’

“My expression is very shocked, okay.” Li Ping'an pouted and locked onto the System warehouse to check his gains.

Including the 100 Cultivation Points unexpectedly gained this time, he had a total of 220.

The two Divine Beast Embryos looked like two milky-white light spheres, occasionally with golden light flowing, and there seemed to be something inside the spheres, subtly wiggling.

Other than this, no other information about the Divine Beast Embryos could be seen.

‘Ancient Hoeing the Heavens, an ancient Farmer's Legacy Immortal Art, origin unknown, grade unknown.’

‘Regarding this Cultivation Technique, there are only a few rumors: a farmer's rage can overturn the heavens and earth!’

Looking at the introduction, it seemed useless.

Looking at the rumors, it seemed a bit awesome.

Li Ping'an locked onto the Cultivation Technique, “Use 1 Cultivation Point to comprehend Ancient Hoeing the Heavens.”

(Ding: Usage failed. Reason: Due to the Cultivation Technique being too mysterious, 1 Cultivation Point is not enough; at least 100 points are required.)

At this,

Li Ping'an was shocked and had to take it seriously, “Then 100 Cultivation Points. I want to see what's so extraordinary about it.”

(Ding: 100 Cultivation Points deducted. Congratulations to the Host, the Farmer's Legacy Great Art, Ancient Hoeing the Heavens, has been comprehended to the first layer.)

“Buzz~”

As the sound fell.

Li Ping'an suddenly felt his whole body tighten; it seemed as if mysterious runes, invisible to the naked eye, were drilling into his body.

They were imprinted, forming a unique pattern of veins, spread throughout his body.

“Should I try the effect?”

Li Ping'an held a steamed bun in his mouth and gripped his hoe tightly with both hands.

System: ‘Friendly reminder, it's best not to try; this is very terrifying, and the speed of hoeing is also quite fast, consuming a lot of spiritual power!’

“This… alright.”

Li Ping'an canceled the idea of trying and asked, “How do I use the Divine Beast Embryos?”

System: ‘Cultivation Points. As long as the Host uses Cultivation Points for nurturing, the Divine Beast Embryo can gradually take shape and evolve into a Divine Beast.’

‘However, only 10 Cultivation Points can be used per day, and how long it takes to successfully evolve also depends on luck.’

Understood.

Li Ping'an nodded lightly, locked onto one of the Divine Beast Embryos, and used 10 Cultivation Points to nurture it.

(Ding: 10 Cultivation Points deducted. The Divine Beast Embryo has been nurtured, Evolution Value + 1.)

“Holy crap, 1 Evolution Value? This isn't scientific.” Li Ping'an's eyes widened.

System: ‘Hmph, the Host has already Transmigrated to a cultivation world, so what's with talking about science?’

Li Ping'an didn't want to say much, locking onto the second Divine Beast Embryo and beginning to nurture it.

(Ding: 10 Cultivation Points deducted. The Divine Beast Embryo has been nurtured, Evolution Value + 100!)

(Ding: The Divine Beast Embryo has completed evolution and can emerge at any time. Once it emerges, it cannot be stored in the System warehouse. Do you choose to let it emerge?)

“Emerge.”

Li Ping'an didn't hesitate at all.

“Woof~ Woof woof~”

Accompanied by a few tender puppy barks, a completely black puppy appeared at Li Ping'an's feet.

It was only as big as Li Ping'an's foot, fluffy, and looked very adorable.

It was just too black.

If it hid in the shadows, without baring its dog mouth, you wouldn't even see where it was hiding.

If it were at night, it would definitely be a master of sneak attacks!

“Woof woof~”

The little black dog wagged its tail, and even its tongue was black.

“It's clearly a dog, so how is it a Divine Beast?” Li Ping'an picked up the puppy.

It was very docile, gently licking Li Ping'an's hand.

System: ‘It's a Five-Black Rural Dog! Not only is it a little expert at guarding homes, but it also possesses mysterious power to ward off evil and protect residences. Through growth, it can also comprehend very terrifying abilities!’

‘Compared to the guardian Spirit Beasts in those immortal sects, it has even more potential and is even more powerful.’

Li Ping'an rubbed the dog's head, “Since you've followed me, you need a name.”

“You're so black, I'll call you…”
