Uprooting tree roots is even more tiring than chopping down trees.
Moreover, the soil of Wanshou Mountain is very hard, and the root systems of the arbor are quite developed.
Li Zhuo dug for a considerable amount of time before finally unearthing a complete tree root.
He embraced the almost unearthed root with both hands.
He suddenly pulled upwards with force.
Crack!
The entire root came out of the ground.
He held the root, shook it, and looked at the large root with its complete root system.
Li Zhuo was filled with a sense of satisfaction.
Then he threw it forcefully.
Splash!
The root fell into the lake, splashing a large amount of water.
Li Zhuo clapped his hands and began to level the ground again.
After a while longer.
The land leveling was completed.
The large pit where the tree root had been dug was gone.
In its place was new brown soil, rich in moisture and nutrients.
This feeling of building farmland made Li Zhuo very comfortable.
"Sure enough, the inherent talent of humans is farming..."
After the comfort.
Li Zhuo took out the remaining Spirit Wheat and began to plant it.
The attributes of these wheat grains were quite low, only suitable for use as rations.
With the faint Spiritual Qi emanating from the Spirit Stone in the center of the field, they could barely grow.
Therefore.
Li Zhuo did not bury new Spirit Stones.
After planting this field.
Little Squirrel also completed its task.
The Song Ling Rat, which guards the land, truly lived up to its name as a two-star Spirit Beast.
Even if it didn't usually fight with its incisors, they were sharp enough.
Li Zhuo looked up.
Where was the arbor that had just been there?
In its place was a straight and smooth log.
"Good job!"
Li Zhuo praised him, and Little Squirrel scratched its head and laughed non-stop.
Looking at this log.
Li Zhuo cut off a thicker section from the bottom.
He started to plane planks!
After all, he had just tricked Little Squirrel into working, so he still had to give it a little treat.
So Li Zhuo decided to make a Squirrel house first.
The tools in Li Zhuo's hand were made of high-quality material, but they were quite crude.
They were not suitable for delicate work.
Fortunately, he was very strong and had some Spell power.
With brute force.
He really did manage to make a few decent wooden planks.
"It's a pity there are no nails, I remember simple mortise and tenon joints..."
Deep in the mountains, there were, of course, no various small tools.
Fortunately, Li Zhuo knew a little about mortise and tenon joints.
He hammered and tapped on the wooden planks, occasionally picking them up to compare them.
Li Zhuo was having a great time.
Little Squirrel, holding half a Spirit Stone, hopped and skipped to Li Zhuo's side.
While gnawing with a crunching sound, it asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
"Making a nest for you~"
"Oh, that, that, that... you..."
Little Squirrel was still a bit embarrassed, stammering for a long time before finally managing to blurt out a complete sentence: "If you need anything in the future, just tell me, I promise to handle it perfectly for you!"
Li Zhuo nodded.
He continued to study the wooden planks in his hand.
After wasting one or two planks, he actually managed to build a decent little house.
He held the house in his hands and admired it for a long time, feeling pleased.
Li Zhuo was very satisfied.
"How do you feel?" he asked Little Squirrel.
Little Squirrel stood on the ground, looking up at the small house.
Its big eyes shone with sparkling light.
Its tiny body was frozen.
After a long while.
Little Squirrel took a breath and finally spoke: "You, you are really amazing, I, I... I really like it!"
With that said.
Little Squirrel threw the Spirit Stone in its hand and ran away, covering its flushed face.
This posture made Li Zhuo a little stunned.
He wondered why it was so shy.
Ignoring that silly Squirrel.
Li Zhuo held up the small house and looked around.
He was looking for a tree to place the house in.
The Daosheng Qingwen Banyan gently swayed, extending a branch towards Li Zhuo's hand.
Li Zhuo looked at the banyan tree beside him and asked: "Do you want to put the house on this branch fork?"
A gentle voice responded: "Yes, great Immortal, I really like that straightforward Little Squirrel."
Li Zhuo naturally nodded.
He placed the small house properly.
The Daosheng Qingwen Banyan retracted its branch fork, bringing the small house back to the big tree with it.
Little Squirrel in the distance watched this scene.
It rubbed its little paws while slowly moving its feet.
It was being coy.
Li Zhuo didn't pay attention to it.
Instead, he looked at the large area of cultivated land, feeling very happy.
"There are still quite a few seeds left, I need to cultivate all the land in the next few days."
"That's a considerable amount of work."
"I can't neglect Cultivation either."
Newly embarked on the Dao of Cultivation.
Li Zhuo was filled with novelty and joy.
Therefore.
While cultivating the land, he also did not forget to Cultivate.
Cultivation is the foundation of survival and can greatly increase Lifespan.
Li Zhuo naturally would not be negligent.
At this time.
He put down his hoe.
He returned to the four Spirit Stones by the bed.
Following the key points of the Myriad Wood Evergreen Technique, he guided Spiritual Qi to form a complete Great Heavenly Cycle within his body.
He slowly accumulated Spell power.
In the past two days, he had been Cultivating non-stop, and the Spell power in his Dantian was increasing.
From the initial tiny sesame seed, it had grown to the size of a mung bean.
Considering Li Zhuo's Aptitude, this could be considered rapid progress!
"I can barely cast one of the lowest-level Spells now, hehe, not bad~"
The easy farming and Cultivation life continued for two more days.
Li Zhuo had cultivated enough land.
Currently.
The Safe Zone in the eastern part of the Daosheng Qingwen Banyan had been leveled.
Large areas of fertile brown soil had been cultivated.
And Spirit Wheat had already been planted.
Because the land area was too large, one Spirit Stone could not meet the demand.
Therefore.
Li Zhuo buried two more Spirit Stones.
To supply the Spiritual Qi needed for the Spirit Wheat to grow.
Of course.
During this process.
He also harvested a lot of wood.
All of them were extremely straight and thick arbors, very suitable for building houses.
After burying the last seed.
Li Zhuo patted the dirt off his body and exclaimed with satisfaction: "It won't be long before this place is a vast expanse of green, just thinking about it makes one feel comfortable~"
These past few days.
Li Zhuo had also used the Myriad Things Modifier to restore the land extension spirit grass and the hundred-poison bramble ball to their original state.
At this time, the scope of the farmland was already quite large.
One land extension spirit grass could not meet the growth needs of the Spirit Wheat.
Therefore.
Li Zhuo transplanted the land extension spirit grass next to the hundred-poison bramble ball and the calming spirit rose into the farmland.
Allowing the wheat in a portion of the farmland to enjoy the effect of 【Symbiosis of Plants and Trees】.
Unfortunately, it still couldn't cover the entire field.
"Little Red!"
With a soft call, Little Red immediately crawled in front of Li Zhuo, awaiting instructions.
Li Zhuo pointed at the land extension spirit grass in the field and said: "In the next few days, search around here to see if there are any more of these Spiritual Plants."
"Yes!"
Little Red took the order and quickly crawled towards the grassy area.
There were many small grasses there, so the chance of finding them was greater.
Watching Little Red observe each plant one by one, Li Zhuo nodded with satisfaction.
He began his next task.
Because he had obtained a lot of wood, he wanted to build a few small houses.
To truly make Wanshou Mountain feel like home.
