It was dark.
Li Ping'an took Da Huang and the others to tour the Spiritual Field.
It was very quiet here, with no one in sight.
The Spiritual Rice was growing fairly well, but it was growing too slowly. If the Myriad Things Growth Technique wasn't used, it would take a year to mature.
It wasn't a long time, but it was too long to wait.
Inside the Secret Realm, the first-grade Earth Spirit Flowers had also grown, much larger than the Spiritual Rice.
If he could water them with Ling Lake, not only would these Spirit Medicines grow better, but he would also gain more cultivation points.
Therefore, he had to fertilize them!
Late at night, the sky grew even darker.
Li Ping'an gathered Hei Hei, Niu Niu, and Da Huang. "Get ready, we need to make a trip to Wang Family Village."
Hei Hei asked, "What for?"
"Don't ask, just follow," Li Ping'an headed towards the back mountain of Jiang Family Village under the cover of night.
After crossing this mountain, they continued south.
Before long, Li Ping'an saw a long stone wall, winding through the forest like a Dragon.
There were some figures patrolling outside, all of them from Wang Family Village.
Hei Hei said, "Boss, I'll carry you. We'll be there in a flash, no one will see us."
Li Ping'an asked, "Are you sure?"
Hei Hei pouted his dog muzzle and said, "It seems Boss still doubts my abilities, so it's very necessary for me to prove myself."
"How about this, I'll run back and forth a few times first, to show you what I can do."
As his voice fell,
He shot out like an arrow. In the darkness, there was no sound, and his speed was so fast that he directly darted in right in front of the patrolling guards.
"Did you see anything?"
"What?"
"Just now, it seemed like a shadow of wind ran past."
"Shadow of wind? Haha, Wang Tai, I think you've been spending too much time with that female servant, you're having hallucinations."
The men teased each other, laughing heartily.
Hei Hei darted inside the stone wall, then ran out again, circled the men twice, and then scurried back to Li Ping'an. "Boss, how was it?"
"You're very impressive," Li Ping'an tugged on his dog's ear and said, "I remember that Divine Beasts should have their own storage space for items. Do you have one?"
Hei Hei twitched his dog ears. "Boss, are you talking about a Heaven?"
"Yes," Li Ping'an nodded. "You couldn't have already opened a Heaven, could you?"
Hei Hei blinked his dog eyes. "Isn't this ability innate?"
Niu Niu nodded. "Indeed."
Da Huang responded, "That's right."
Looking at the three little guys, Li Ping'an was both shocked and happy. As expected of Divine Beasts, many of their advantages were innate!
This way, getting Ling Lake would be completely effortless.
After a moment of thought,
Li Ping'an said, "Niu Niu, Da Huang, you two wait here. Once there's any movement from Wang Family Village, you create a disturbance here. Remember, don't show yourselves."
After instructing them.
Li Ping'an flipped onto Hei Hei's back. "Let's go~"
"Whoosh~"
Hei Hei's four dog paws pushed back, and he shot out like a black shadow.
He was too arrogant, too confident. Carrying Li Ping'an, he directly darted into Wang Family Village's territory right in front of those people.
Beyond this wall,
There weren't many people. What met his eyes were vast Spiritual Fields, with unusually lush plants, many of which were almost ripe.
Li Ping'an circled outside Wang Family Village and found the Ling Lake on the east side of the village.
Under the moonlight, thin mist rose from the not-too-large lake surface.
The Spiritual Qi fluctuations here were much denser than those at Jiang Family Village, and there were also more than a dozen people guarding the area from four directions.
Of course,
Sleeping on the job and fooling around after work, this is a common human trait.
They were in groups of four, and in each group, only one person was listlessly yawning.
"Formation activate."
Li Ping'an held the Formation Jade Slip and deployed the Gloomwood Illusion Formation with 10,000 Spiritual Qi.
The Formation's activation created a slight fluctuation, but it did not attract the attention of those people.
Li Ping'an rubbed the dog's head. "Hei Hei, collect the water. Fill your Heaven completely."
He also tried to collect water, but he had no containers for it, the System warehouse couldn't store it, and his Heaven was filled with Spirit Medicine, which he couldn't submerge.
Next,
Hei Hei was incredible.
He stretched his dog head into the Ling Lake, and as he opened his mouth, a column of water surged directly into his mouth, flowing in abundantly.
Before long,
Hei Hei stopped, closing his mouth. "Boss, it's full, I can't hold any more."
Li Ping'an was suspicious. "It's full so quickly? Your Heaven is too small, isn't it?"
Hei Hei grinned, showing his dog teeth. "I'm still small, so my Heaven is small too."
"Wake up, wake up!"
At this moment,
A guard pushed his companion awake. "Look, why has the lake water dropped by ten inches!"
The others woke up in alarm. "Not good, someone is stealing water! Quickly, send the signal!"
They all woke up, shaking their hands to release signal flares, requesting support from Wang Family Village's experts.
Li Ping'an was very shocked.
He hadn't looked closely before, but now that he did, the lake surface had indeed dropped by more than ten inches!
"Let's go."
Li Ping'an retreated, put away the illusion Formation, and lay on Hei Hei's back.
"Whoosh~"
Hei Hei displayed his full movement technique, rushing straight out of the village. "Boss, look, those plants are almost ripe. How about we come and steal them in a few days?"
Li Ping'an, "Would that be a bit too much?"
Hei Hei: "They've enclosed the Ling Lake and won't let others use it, isn't that also too much?"
Indeed, it was too much.
Li Ping'an grabbed the dog's ear. "Let's leave first, and then we'll steal them in a few days!"
These were all Spirit Medicines.
Even if stealing the harvest wouldn't yield cultivation treasure chests or Heavenly Dao rewards, Spiritual Rice and Spirit Medicine could still be exchanged for Spirit Stones...
At Ling Lake.
The people of Wang Family Village gathered.
Looking at the lowered lake surface, an old man was furious. "How do you guard this place? This Ling Lake is the lifeblood of our Wang Family Village, the continuous wealth of our Wang Family Village!"
The men lowered their heads, not daring to retort.
A middle-aged man mused, "Village Chief, blaming them now is useless."
"Since the person could pass through our village's defenses without anyone knowing and steal so much Ling Lake, their strength must be considerable, and they must possess a Magical Artifact."
Hearing this,
The old village chief calmed down a little. "No matter who it is, you will all go out of the village tonight to investigate."
"Tomorrow morning, I will go to Xianyan Sect and inform Young Master Jian about this matter."
They made arrangements, and teams of Wang family disciples left, searching and investigating everywhere in the night.
Here.
Li Ping'an had already reunited with Da Huang and Niu Niu, quickly returning to the vicinity of Jiang Family Village.
Spiritual Field Number Four.
Hei Hei stood by the edge of the field, and with an open mouth, he sprayed out waves of water, 'whooshing' and drenching the entire ground.
(Ding: Fertilized two acres of Spiritual Field, Cultivation Points +100)
After finishing here, they went to Spiritual Field Number Three.
After a busy period, he gained 550 cultivation points from the ten acres of Spiritual Field and the one acre in the Secret Realm.
Adding to his previous balance, he now had a total of 1650.
"Although my combat power has improved by a decimal point, the gain in cultivation points isn't slow either."
Li Ping'an showed a smile, then turned to look at Hei Hei. "How much Ling Lake do you have left?"
Hei Hei said, "Not much, enough for about five more waterings."
Li Ping'an patted the dog's head. "That's not a small amount, is it?"
"Let's go home and sleep. In a few days, we'll continue watering and fertilizing!"
System: 'Host needs to note that for each planting of Spiritual Rice or Spirit Medicine, fertilizing with Ling Lake can only yield one reward.'
Li Ping'an raised an eyebrow. "Why is there such a restriction? That's very unreasonable."
System: 'Which family do you know fertilizes their fields every day? These are low-grade items, and the nutrients they require are limited.'
'However, diluting beast blood and beast cores with water can also provide an additional cultivation point reward. If it's a Spirit Medicine above ninth-grade, a true Divine Medicine or exotic fruit, then multiple cultivation points can be gained.'
Thinking it over carefully, it did make sense.
At worst, he would continue to reclaim land and plant tomorrow.
Regardless of whether anyone came to steal, he would first gather cultivation points!
If he could get ninth-grade Spirit Medicine seeds, or Divine Medicine and exotic fruit seeds, that would be much better.
Li Ping'an then asked, "Oh, by the way, ordinary fields can yield two harvests, how many times can a Spiritual Field yield?"
System: 'In principle, as long as the Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Field does not dry up, it can continuously yield harvests.'
That's good.
No need to run around looking for land.
Li Ping'an naturally knew that Spiritual Fields were formed by the infiltration of Spiritual Qi, and Spiritual Qi was generated by Spiritual Veins.
As long as Xianyan Sect did not perish, these Spiritual Fields would not have problems.
Back in the wooden shed.
As soon as Li Ping'an lay down, he saw the scene of Spiritual Field Number Four through the Puppet scarecrow.
It was a group of people from Wang Family Village. Someone walked into the wet Spiritual Field to inspect it.
Soon,
That person looked at a leader and said, "Brother Wang Fa, this is Ling Lake, it was just watered not long ago!"
Wang Fa's brow furrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Return to the village quickly and report to the Village Chief. Anyone who dares to steal our Wang Family Village's Ling Lake will die without a burial place!"
Here,
Li Ping'an not only saw everything but also heard everything. "You want to kill me, huh? Let's kill you first."
He narrowed his eyes slightly and gave the order, "Scarecrow, kill them for me."
"Buzz~"
The two Puppet scarecrows, having received the order, drew their swords and charged forward.
"Boom~"
The man named Wang Fa's eyes turned cold, and as he spread his palms, two fireballs instantly struck the scarecrows.
With just one strike,
The scarecrows were destroyed, and Li Ping'an's connection to them was also severed...
