“Look at you, so capable.”
Li Ping'an chuckled, teasing him.
However, he was genuinely happy inside.
One hundred Spirit Stones allowed Da Huang to grow to the point of speaking human words and doubling in size. If all tens of thousands of Spirit Stones he had were fed to them, what kind of changes would there be?
Heihe's height hadn't increased much, but Niuniu was a head taller than before, its robust body full of powerful, bulging muscles.
“Follow me to the next plot.”
Li Ping'an waved, dropping Spirit Stones as he walked.
The three little ones were all very sensible; they didn't snatch, each eating their own.
Their appetites were excellent; what they swallowed were essentially stones, completely unaffected.
The third Spirit Field was two mu.
Li Ping'an took out another six hundred Spirit Stones, hiding them in the hay, letting the three of them share, while he went to clear weeds and open up the land.
Spirit Stones were very valuable.
But as long as these three little ones grew up, they would be his capable helpers, only then could they bring absolute safety…
By the time all the Spirit Fields were planted, it was already afternoon, and there were 110 available cultivation points.
During this period,
Heihe and the others alone had consumed six thousand Spirit Stones, an average of two thousand Spirit Stones per creature. They ate fast and digested fast.
All the Spirit Stones seemed to have transformed into energy to enhance them; they hadn't even urinated once.
And at this moment,
Niuniu's height had already reached Li Ping'an's nose tip, with green fur and two large curved horns growing on its head, looking quite frightening.
Heihe and Da Huang had both reached Li Ping'an's waist. Their sizes were not small, their fur was shiny, and their chubby figures were quite imposing.
The only drawback was that they had become uglier, no longer as endearing and cute as before.
Li Ping'an did not continue feeding them Spirit Stones, feeling a bit worried about them, fearing a negative effect.
After a short rest, Li Ping'an took Heihe and the other two, cut down some trees and bamboo, and simply fenced off the plot.
By the time all this was done, it was dusk when they returned to the wooden shed.
Someone was fighting in the distance.
There were many people, and the gleam of swords and blades was dazzling.
Heihe was quite curious, calling Da Huang to run and watch the commotion, but Li Ping'an suppressed them both with one hand each, “If you dare go, I’ll beat the shit out of you.”
“Boss, so cruel~”
“Boss, so heartless~”
Heihe and Da Huang lay on the ground.
Niuniu took a bite of grass and chuckled, “Curiosity kills the dog, you know.”
Not long after, the melee ended.
Many Spirit Fields in that area were destroyed. The outcome was unclear, the reason was unclear, but someone definitely suffered heavy losses.
Li Ping'an sat in the wooden shed, locking onto Spirit Stones and other resources, and began refining Puppet scarecrows.
He refined a total of 17, then switched to refining 3 Elementary Killing Formations, the Eight Swords Formation, and 3 Elementary Illusion Formations, the Secluded Forest Illusion Realm.
After this series of operations, not many Spirit Stones were used, but 230,000 points of spiritual power were consumed, leaving only a little over 170,000 points currently.
Relatively speaking, among all the skills he possessed, only the Rain Summoning Technique and Cloud Summoning Technique were the most economical in terms of spiritual power, but these two immortal techniques lacked destructive power.
However, these were all life-saving methods, and any amount of spiritual power used was worth it.
Nothing was more important than being alive; only with life could one continue to develop…
Heihe, Niuniu, and Da Huang were too gluttonous.
For the next three days, they consumed a full thirty thousand Spirit Stones.
Their sizes seemed to have stabilized.
After consuming so many Spirit Stones, it was unclear if there had been any substantial improvement, but they all looked energetic.
Inside the Secret Realm.
The corn had already matured.
Li Ping'an found a secluded spot, took out the Illusion Formation, Secluded Forest, and activated the formation.
“Buzz~”
The Void Realm trembled slightly, and the surrounding environment immediately changed, with many trees appearing, looking just like the real thing.
“How magical.”
“What a skill.”
“Boss is so awesome~”
The three little ones praised him one after another, even rolling around in the Secluded Forest Illusion Realm.
“Let's go, time to work.”
Li Ping'an opened the Secret Realm entrance, calling Heihe and the others to enter it.
The corn grew very well, each ear looking delightful.
The only regret was that the influence of the variety was an unchangeable inherent flaw.
If it were Spirit Medicine, this one-mu, first-grade Secret Realm Spirit Field would definitely yield a considerable harvest.
“Snap, snap~”
Li Ping'an's hands moved in unison, and corn cobs fell to the ground one by one.
This was his Secret Realm, carried with him, similar to a warehouse. There was no need to worry about anyone stealing even a single kernel of corn.
After picking the corn and receiving one Cultivation Treasure Chest and one Heavenly Dao Rewards Treasure Chest, it was time to clear the corn stalks.
Niuniu volunteered, “Let me do it. I’ll burn this place clean in an instant.”
“No~” Li Ping'an quickly stopped it, “This is the Secret Realm. What if it gets burned badly?”
Heihe: “Let this dog do it then.”
“You stop!” Da Huang extended a paw, blocking Heihe, “After eating so many of Boss's Spirit Stones, it’s my turn to show off.”
Li Ping'an chuckled, “Alright, you it is.”
“Woof~ Bark~” Da Huang's body slightly lowered, and with that roar, it suddenly straightened its body.
“Buzz~”
Visible sound waves roared out, and with just that one pass, they pulverized half a mu of corn stalks.
“Could this be the legendary Lion's Roar?”
Li Ping'an's eardrums ached from the shock, and his face showed surprise.
One must know that he was currently equivalent to a Cultivator at the True Spirit Realm Fifth Layer, and had 5010 points of defense.
From this, it was clear that Da Huang's strength was extraordinary!
“Wrong, this is the legendary Dog's Roar.” Da Huang was a little smug.
It gently waved its front paw, and giant dog paw prints, each ten meters in size, fell rustling, pulverizing the remaining half-mu of corn stalks.
Da Huang looked at Li Ping'an, showing off, “This is the Ferocious Dog Paw. These are just small tricks, only one-tenth of my power.”
Li Ping'an gave a thumbs-up, “Amazing!”
Da Huang squinted its dog eyes, grinning with its dog mouth, “It’s all thanks to Boss’s good guidance.”
Heh, very good at flattery.
Li Ping'an looked at Heihe, “What about you? With over ten thousand Spirit Stones, you should also have some very powerful abilities, right?”
Heihe lowered its head, looking a bit self-conscious, “This dog might be better at eating.”
“Pfft~” Li Ping'an was amused. He picked up Heihe.
Niuniu looked up, “Boss, don't drop it to its death.”
Da Huang also pleaded, “It’s the captain!”
Drop to its death?
Li Ping'an gave them both an annoyed glance, “Who said I was going to drop Heihe? Heihe is great.”
He rubbed its dog head, and tugged its dog ears, “Don't be discouraged, believe in yourself, you are invincible.”
“Woof, woof~” Heihe, encouraged, became spirited again.
Li Ping'an looked at Niuniu, “What about you, how much have you improved?”
Niuniu: “A lot.”
Li Ping'an: “How much is 'a lot'?”
Niuniu looked around, “This place is too small. I can make it explode.”
As it spoke,
Its body glowed with green light, and its size began to rapidly swell at a visible rate.
“Stop, stop, stop.”
Li Ping'an quickly called for it to stop.
“What's wrong?” Niuniu's body had grown larger, and its nostrils were now significantly bigger than a dog's head.
Especially the curved horns on its head, black and shiny like giant curved blades, emitting a compelling luster!
Li Ping'an: “It’s too damn scary.”
This was truly terrifying.
Its head was so big; if it got mad cow disease, they would be in trouble…
