15: Chapter 15: The Spirit Rice Takes a Turn!

The Immortal Dynasty of the Jing Kingdom has been established for who knows how many years, and the number of rare treasures of heaven and earth forged and refined is countless.

The records alone have accumulated into a vast library.

Including their specific effects, quality, side effects, and measured value...

But for a small number of these rare treasures, there is simply no possibility of measuring them.

diluojiang is an extremely prominent example.

This item can nourish all things in the world... but it will never nourish the Human Race.

This item is the supreme treasure of the Yao Race, and the Human Race's nine-grade measurement method simply cannot measure it.

It can allow the Yao Race's Bloodline to experience atavism. The Legacy of the Yao Race is not like that of the Human Race, recorded in books.

Instead, it is carved into their genes and Bloodline.

Their cultivation is the cultivation of the atavistic Bloodline.

What they seek is the Bloodline Legacy!

Therefore, diluojiang is extremely precious to them...

However, diluojiang can hardly be contained in any form.

It only exists within heaven and earth.

It only attaches itself to all things.

As for how it nourishes all things... it depends on the specifications, density, and Spiritual Qi level of the diluojiang... and even the depth of the Karma and affinity of all things.

It may be hidden in mountains, rivers, or attached to a great Yao, or perhaps surging within water veins.

No one knows.

And the diluojiang before our eyes is but a small stream...

Yet this small stream is enough to plunge the Yao Beasts in this area into endless slaughter!

He pondered in his heart... and then softly instructed Wang Meng.

"You lead twenty men... and head to the demon lair!"

"Now that the snake Yao has been slain, the demon lair must be empty, and since they are attracted by the diluojiang, there surely won't be much defense!"

"Go and wipe out the demon lair, and bring back all the precious items inside!"

"Understood!"

Wang Meng quickly went down... while Shen Yi watched the celestial phenomena with great excitement.

He saw... the diluojiang in the celestial phenomena appearing and disappearing... then suddenly splitting into countless beams of jade light, shooting out in all directions!

Waves of clamorous roars arrived as expected.

A barely visible beam of jade light suddenly poured into the field in front of Shen Yi!

In an instant... the originally withered stalks of the lingyuan rice suddenly straightened.

It was as if they had taken some potent medicine!

This barely visible diluojiang seemed to be some kind of conduit... connecting and surging with the earth's veins.

The earth's Spiritual Qi in the Sanchuan Sand Sea cannot be called abundant, and Qinghe Town, situated on the frontier, barely scrapes by with its planting here!

Even though Shen Yi tapped into the groundwater and found water veins.

The harvest was still unremarkable...

But now, this Spiritual Qi suddenly surged, the earth's veins billowed, and the Spiritual Qi of plants and trees poured into it!

The soil, which had been like yellow dirt, suddenly became moist and then turned dark black... resembling oil!

Shen Yi was startled.

"This is... a trend towards transforming into a spiritual field???"

"To think there would be such a generous gift?"

The field had transformed to this point, seemingly possessing endless fertility... then, the lingyuan rice defied the cycle of the four seasons.

It grew wildly.

Then it began to sprout ears of grain.

A hint of vibrant mist suddenly emerged in the dry air... it was a mixture of the essence of plants and trees, water vapor, and Spiritual Qi.

This mist flowed into those green, unripe ears of grain, which soon became heavy and gained weight!

The Old Village Chief saw this, his eyes full of shock.

He looked at Shen Yi in disbelief.

He muttered to himself.

"Lord Shen... could it be that you are a Divine Being?"

Spiritual fields nurture spiritual plants, and spiritual plants assist spiritual cultivators.

Once this lingyuan rice is consumed, it can nourish the spirit of the Physical Body.

When consumed by martial artists, they can use the Spiritual Qi to assist and stimulate it, increasing the potential of their Physical Body.

And when consumed by immortal cultivators, they can obtain Spiritual Qi nourishment, with the same effect, and can even cast off some of the turbid Qi born from eating ordinary grains!

This item... although it has just entered the ranks, it is a first-grade item.

It can also be called an immortal object!

And they had planted a full twenty mu of land... which could yield two thousand jin.

The value is worth thousands of copper coins!

And if the spiritual field could be solidified... then Qinghe Town could plant spiritual plants every year from now on.

Then sell them to the imperial court in exchange for merit, political achievements, and even more treasures!

This is the Foundation of prosperity!

But Shen Yi did not think so.

In his view, this spiritual field was just a fleeting moment!

Spiritual fields need a continuous supply of Spiritual Qi from the earth's veins to maintain their fertility.

And when spiritual plants or spiritual items are planted in it, they will constantly draw in earth Qi and Spiritual Qi... over time, the spiritual field will dry up.

At this time, either the earth Qi must continue to provide nourishment, or Spirit Stones must be invested!

The current appearance of diluojiang forcing the earth Qi to move is not a long-term strategy.

In his view, this spiritual field supporting the lingyuan rice to maturity was already quite good.

Long-term possession?

I'm afraid that's not very likely!

Seeing this, Shen Yi did not dare to delay.

He instructed Zhou Xian and the remaining Rakshasa Guards.

"Go... protect the lingyuan rice well, do not let any bandits, or even Yao Beasts, disturb it!"

"This is a treasure... it is guaranteed political achievement!"

Zhou Xian hurriedly cupped his hands!

The Old Village Chief, holding his cane, said in a deep voice.

"There are still young and strong men in the town... let them go together... let them go together!"

Shen Yi wanted to say something, but the old man said in a deep voice.

"Lord Shen, this is Qinghe Town's Opportunity, yours, and also ours."

"We will never allow anyone to destroy our great Foundation!"

"This... alright."

However, Shen Yi's spirit relaxed, and he swayed a bit as he stood up.

He hadn't had a drop of water all day, and he felt a bit dazed.

The Old Village Chief saw this and couldn't help but laugh.

"As for this diluojiang, we only got some scraps, I imagine Zhou Xian can handle it..."

"The matter of the demon lair also has a proper resolution."

"Lord... why not go back and rest."

"It's been a whole day, and you haven't had a drop of water; you must be exhausted!"

"Some mental pressure is much greater than Physical Body pressure; the entire Qinghe Town is tied to your person, Lord!"

"It is normal for you to be in this state, Lord..."

"Do not let yourself be too exhausted!"

Seeing this, Shen Yi nodded with a wry smile.

"I suppose that will have to do."

"Respectfully seeing you off, Lord!!"

"Respectfully seeing you off, Lord!"

By the bluestone road, everyone bowed in respect, their eyes full of devotion.

They didn't know the imperial court, they didn't know those high-and-mighty lords.

They only knew that it was this Shen Tanhua before them who saved them from fire and water.

Protecting them, aiding them.

How could they not revere him?

Anyone with a conscience... would remember this moment.

If it weren't for this Lord Shen, they would have long since become the snake Yao's meal!

Amidst the waves of voices... Shen Yi saw prestige and the hearts of the people.

It wasn't until he returned to the manor that the surroundings finally quieted down.

It was strange to say, but when faced with the diluojiang, neither Cuier nor Pei Lingshu... showed any abnormality.

As if they were accustomed to it!

"You're back?"

"Let's eat."
