“Lu Chen, why have you been squatting here all this time?”
Zhou Jinfeng held a long spear, looking at Lu Chen who was squatting by the field ridge.
“Look at how lazy you are. Where did your previous diligence go?”
Zhou Jinfeng said.
“The busy farming season is only for a while, it’s not that busy every day.”
Lu Chen grabbed a handful of dirt and looked up at the sky.
The soil moisture was insufficient. If it didn't rain recently, then he would have to try the Heavenly Curtain Misty Rain Spell he had learned these past few days.
“Fight me!” Zhou Jinfeng said.
“No.” Lu Chen shook his head.
“Is it because you don't have a Cultivation Technique Martial Skill?”
“No.”
“Then why not fight?”
“I'm afraid I'll kill you.”
“…”
“Hey!” Zhou Jinfeng became even more energized, twirling his spear and saying, “I see you haven't really Cultivated Martial Skills much. I'd like to see what you're capable of!”
Lu Chen looked up, a helpless look appearing from under his straw hat.
His words sounded like, “Come, kill me, come!”
If it had been ten days ago, Lu Chen would have sparred with Zhou Jinfeng, but now, he couldn't.
Punch ten thousand times, and the divine principle will naturally appear.
After cultivating and tilling a hundred mu of spiritual fields, Lu Chen didn't even know how much his innate potential had improved.
Cultivating in the spiritual field, even the consumption of Mountain River Shattering Void could keep up with his recovery.
Other Cultivators probably could only throw two or three punches a day, but Lu Chen could keep punching.
Now, even if Lu Chen just moved his fingers, he could point out the true meaning of Mountain River Shattering Void with a single finger.
Mountain River Shattering Void, mobilizing all power, delivering an ultimate strike. There is no retreat, just strike, without concern for recovery.
The Cultivation Technique only taught how to throw this punch, but not what to do after throwing it.
Lu Chen was currently in the exploratory stage, figuring out how to control his own power while performing Mountain River Shattering Void.
It was like returning to simplicity; before fully comprehending it, unless he intended to kill, Lu Chen couldn't make a move.
“Even if you don't fight me, you need to be careful of Zhai Xingchen.”
Zhou Jinfeng reminded him, “Since that night, Chu Xiaoxiao hasn't shown her face, and no one has gone upstairs to enter a dream. I heard Zhai Xingchen caused a big scene in the Zhai Family. From my understanding of him, he won't let this matter go and will definitely come to settle the score with you.”
“Oh.” Lu Chen nodded, not taking it to heart at all.
Zhou Jinfeng jumped back onto the city wall. Even without Lu Chen as a reference, his Cultivation remained diligent.
Sifang City, East City Gate Flying Ship Dock.
Lu Rong waited quietly. When a merchant association Flying Ship landed, she quickly walked a few steps forward.
“Young Miss, as you can see, this place is not like Heavenly Capital City; there's nothing fun here.” Lu Yuanshan said to a white-clothed young girl beside him.
The girl had bright eyes and white teeth, was playful and mischievous, and exuded an aura of freedom and purity. Just her appearance caused many Cultivators at the Flying Ship Dock to stop and gaze.
Originally, Sifang City had a recognized number one beauty, Chu Xiaoxiao. Now, it was hard to say.
“With my Qi Vein Realm First Level Cultivation, I can't even make a ripple in Heavenly Capital City. This is the perfect place for me to show my skills!”
Ye Lingxuan was full of enthusiasm.
“But…” Lu Yuanshan sighed.
“Didn't you say the intelligence was wrong? What are you worried about?” Ye Lingxuan asked.
“The intelligence about the Floating Pagoda Forbidden Land was indeed wrong, but the intelligence about Demonic Path Cultivators is real.” Lu Yuanshan's brows were tightly furrowed.
Ye Lingxuan's eyes darted around intelligently, and she whispered playfully, “In such a remote place, why do you think there would be Demonic Path Cultivators?”
Lu Yuanshan was stunned, and Lu Rong, who hadn't spoken until now, was also deep in thought.
The two exchanged glances, both shaking all over.
The fact that the intelligence about Demonic Path Cultivators was real proved that the intelligence about the Floating Pagoda Forbidden Land was also real! It just hadn't been discovered yet!
“I've long heard rumors that the merchant association's Young Miss Ye Lingxuan is exceptionally intelligent. Seeing her today, the rumors are indeed true.” Lu Rong praised.
“It's just that the situation in small places is simple. I've just seen too many big storms.” Ye Lingxuan raised her head proudly.
“Since that's the case, then please, Young Miss, come aboard with me, and I'll send you back.” Lu Yuanshan immediately changed his mind.
“I've already come, and you want me to leave just like that?” Ye Lingxuan pouted, saying, “That's a floating pagoda divine weapon, you know!”
Lu Yuanshan's eyelids twitched, and Lu Rong almost stepped forward to cover Ye Lingxuan's mouth.
“Those who should know, know. Those who shouldn't know, even if they know, they don't know. Look at how nervous you two are.”
Ye Lingxuan put her small hands behind her back and walked briskly towards the city gate.
“Vice Presidents, what should we do?” Lu Rong asked in a low voice.
“It's just the New Disciple Assembly. Most participants are in the Body Refinement Realm, and Qi Vein Realm First Level is already the highest Realm. Even if Demonic Path Disciples mix in, their Cultivation won't be high, so it should be fine.” Lu Yuanshan said, then remembered something, “Where's that kid?”
Lu Rong looked towards the spiritual field in the distance.
Lu Yuanshan also looked over.
“It's indeed not easy for one person to Cultivate a hundred mu of land, even for a Body Refinement Realm Cultivator, it's not… Huh?” Lu Yuanshan's Divine Thought swept over, and he immediately felt strange, walking towards Lu Chen's spiritual field.
Lu Rong also followed.
“Hey! Aren't you going to bother with me anymore?” Ye Lingxuan had already walked far away. Noticing that the two had changed direction, she skipped and hopped to follow them.
Sifang City, the spiritual field southeast of the watchtower.
Lu Yuanshan, Lu Rong, and Ye Lingxuan arrived behind Lu Chen.
“What's so good about this kind of spiritual field?” Ye Lingxuan was puzzled.
Lu Chen remained squatting without getting up, only nodding in greeting, “Lu Daye, Lu Rong, and this young lady, hello.”
“…” Lu Yuanshan, Lu Rong, Ye Lingxuan.
“Are you here to inspect the work?” Lu Chen smiled.
Lu Yuanshan looked at Lu Rong in confusion, as if asking: Did you arrange for someone?
Lu Rong shook her head lightly, indicating that she didn't know.
They had originally thought that in the past half month, Lu Chen would at most have tilled the land well, but now they were surprised to find that not only was the land well tilled, but it was already fertilized and sown.
Not only that, but the grain seeds were already sprouting in the fields!
This meant that Lu Chen had finished everything seven or eight days ago!
“You, by yourself?”
“Not exactly.”
“Oh.” Lu Yuanshan nodded.
Lu Chen continued, “Someone delivered the grain seeds to the field, saving me a bit of effort.”
Lu Yuanshan was speechless; did that make a difference?
“Have you chosen a Cultivation Technique?”
“I have.”
Lu Rong listened and couldn't help but say, “Looking at the progress of your spiritual field, you probably haven't started Cultivating Mountain River Shattering Void yet, have you?”
“Mountain River Shattering Void?”
“Mountain River Shattering Void!”
Lu Yuanshan and Ye Lingxuan were both surprised.
“How could you let him Cultivate such a Cultivation Technique?” Lu Yuanshan said with some blame.
“He asked for it himself.” Lu Rong said, then took out a Medicinal Pill bottle, “I even prepared the Medicinal Pill for him after he gets injured.”
“…” Lu Chen.
Ye Lingxuan looked at Lu Yuanshan and Lu Rong, curious, “With you two here, the Tianyuan Branch in Sifang City shouldn't lack other high-grade Cultivation Techniques.”
“There are, but very few meet his requirements.” Lu Rong repeated Lu Chen's requirements.
Lu Yuanshan mused, “Solving all problems with one punch is a bit like wanting to take a shortcut for permanent ease. In an evenly matched fight, this punch often at most severely injures the opponent, and the opponent's remaining strength is enough to turn the tide. This doesn't even count if the opponent blocks or dodges it…”
“Wait!” Ye Lingxuan suddenly interrupted. She squatted curiously in front of Lu Chen, tilting her head, staring at Lu Chen's eyes from under his straw hat, “Where do you get your confidence?”
“What do you mean?” Lu Chen's eyelids twitched.
“What kind of confidence makes you believe you can master Mountain River Shattering Void?”
