45: The spiritual field is shining, the proud mouse

In the central area of Xuanlei Island, on the sunny slope of the hollow where the Spiritual Spring Eye was located, Lin Feng selected a spot.

This place was relatively flat and open, with ample sunlight, not far from the Spiritual Spring cave, and could continuously receive nourishment from pure Spiritual Qi, making it an excellent location for developing a large Spiritual Field.

He took out his fenshui sword, and the sword light crisscrossed, like the most efficient plow, easily cutting off tough plant roots and shattering rocks.

His immense strength at the Peak of Body Refining Seventh Layer made splitting mountains and rocks seem effortless.

In just half a day, a flat piece of land, thirty mu in size, was forcibly cleared by him, and the black soil emitted a faint Spiritual Qi.

“This is it!” Lin Feng took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

He patted his Storage Pouch, and dozens of jade boxes, engraved with complex Sealing Restrictions, emerged one after another, neatly arranged beside the newly developed Spiritual Field.

Carefully removing the Restrictions, Lin Feng gently took out the Spiritual Plants that had been dormant in the jade boxes and placed them in their pre-planned positions:

Ten crimson flame jujube pear trees were scattered, like crimson torches;

Two azure thunder bamboos, nearly two zhang tall, verdant and shimmering with electric arcs, were solemnly planted in a corner of the Spiritual Field, and a powerful Wood Thunder Qi instantly permeated the air;

fire pattern pepper, jade marrow mushroom, frigid mist grass, Azure Jade Spirit Peach Trees…

The family fortune accumulated throughripening (catalyzing growth) on Black Reef Island, along with the second-order “yellow thunder apricot” sapling acquired at the auction, were all meticulously transplanted here by Lin Feng.

Looking at the many Spiritual Plants, which were slightly wilted and had their Spiritual Qi contained after transplantation, Lin Feng no longer hesitated.

He immersed his thoughts into his Sea of Consciousness.

“Rain Prayer!”

Divine Power -1!

Dense azure clouds instantly gathered over the Spiritual Field, and a life-giving Spiritual Liquid, imbued with creation, sprinkled down.

This sweet dew seemed to possess magical life-giving power; as soon as it touched the soil and Spiritual Plants, a sudden change occurred!

Visibly, the branches and leaves of all the Spiritual Plants suddenly unfurled, their wilted aura swept away, replaced by vibrant vitality.

Fire patterns flickered on the leaves of the crimson flame jujube pear trees, and crimson flower buds were subtly forming.

The bamboo nodes of the azure thunder bamboos emitted faint crackling sounds, and the electric arcs became even more active.

Lightning flowed on the withered yellow leaves of the yellow thunder apricots, as if they had come alive; even the first-order Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines rapidly sprouted branches and leaves at an astonishing speed, their medicinal fragrance permeating the air!

Furthermore, several fire pattern peppers and chill smoke grasses, which were already of considerable age, instantly turned from green to red and solidified their ice patterns under the nourishment of the sweet dew, directly maturing!

The rich Spiritual Qi, mixed with the various fruit and medicinal fragrances, transformed this newly developed Spiritual Field into a vibrant immortal blessed land!

“Squeak, squeak, squeak—!!!”

Just at this moment of Peak Spiritual Qi and vitality, a silver light shot out from Lin Feng’s beast pouch at his waist like lightning, it was the Treasure Seeking Rat!

The little fellow’s black, gem-like eyes were wide and round, staring intently at the fire pattern peppers and chill smoke grasses that had instantly matured and emitted an enticing, unusual fragrance, its drool almost forming a small stream.

How could it hold back any longer?

It pushed off with its hind legs, transforming into a silver streak of light, and lunged directly at the nearest mature fire pattern pepper!

Its speed was so fast that it only left an afterimage in the air.

“You little glutton! Stop it!” Lin Feng’s eyes and hands were quick, and the agility of a Body Cultivator was brought to its extreme at this moment.

His large hand, like iron tongs, precisely pinched the Treasure Seeking Rat’s scruff of the neck just before its little paws could touch the fire pattern pepper.

“Squeak—!!!” Its delicious food was gone, and the Treasure Seeking Rat was so angry that its silver fur bristled all over.

Its four little paws kicked wildly in the air, and it turned its head to unleash a barrage of angry “squeak-chatter-squeak-squeak!” in rat language at Lin Feng.

Its voice was sharp and urgent, and its little paws kept pointing at the bright red fruit, its black eyes filled with accusation, grievance, and strong condemnation, as if cursing: “Big bad guy! Robber! Fruit thief! That’s what Grandpa Rat saw first! Let me go! Squeak-chatter-squeak-squeak-chatter!”

Rats talk so dirty!

...

Looking at the little fellow’s exasperated, clawing, and cursing yet adorable appearance, Lin Feng was both annoyed and amused.

He wasn’t truly stingy; it was just that these newly ripened Spiritual Fruits were of extraordinary significance, and letting this little thing chew on them haphazardly without planning would undoubtedly waste a lot.

“Alright, alright, stop cursing, it sounds really unpleasant.”

Lin Feng suppressed a laugh, shaking the Treasure Seeking Rat, who was still “spewing fragrance,” “It’s not that I won’t let you eat, it’s just not now.

Once I set up the Restrictions and make a plan, your share will naturally not be lacking.”

Ignoring the Treasure Seeking Rat’s continuous “verbal attacks,” Lin Feng quickly formed hand seals, sending streaks of spiritual light into the surroundings of the Spiritual Field.

Soon, an invisible Spiritual Qi shield rose, enveloping the entire thirty-mu Spiritual Field.

This was a simple protective Restriction, primarily to prevent small animals, specifically a certain silver-furred rat and low-level Yao Beasts, from casually intruding and ruining the Spiritual Plants.

The Treasure Seeking Rat, being held by the scruff of its neck and watching its delicious food being “imprisoned,” instantly wilted.

It stopped cursing, its little ears drooped, its black eyes quickly filled with tears, its little nose twitched, emitting a mournful “woo woo woo,” and its little paws hung limply, looking pitiful, as if it had lost all desire to live and had been abandoned by the whole world.

Lin Feng’s heart softened at the sight.

He knew this little fellow was being dramatic, but he still took out a high-quality, vibrant azure jade spiritual peach and a bright red fire pattern pepper.

“Here, stop pretending, this is for you.

Be good from now on, and there will be plenty of Spiritual Fruits.”

Upon seeing the Spiritual Fruits, the Treasure Seeking Rat’s “sadness” instantly vanished without a trace.

It hugged the Spiritual Peach and fire pattern pepper, cast a wary glance at Lin Feng, then quickly scurried onto Lin Feng’s shoulder, found a comfortable spot, and began to munch contentedly in small bites, making “smacking” sounds.

It was as if the “deep hatred” from moments ago had never happened, though it occasionally pointed its little paw towards the Spiritual Field, squeaking twice, as if to say: “You’re sensible, but the ones over there are better, remember to save them for Grandpa Rat!”

After pacifying the Treasure Seeking Rat, Lin Feng walked to another open space and took out the beast pouch containing the Jade Emperor Beehive.

He removed the Restriction and carefully placed the huge, jade-bell-shaped beehive on a thick branch of the tallest crimson flame jujube pear tree.

Almost the instant the beehive settled, with a soft “buzz,” thousands of Jade Emperor Bees, with their entire bodies jade-white and their tail stingers shimmering with icy blue cold light, surged out of the beehive like a floodgate opening!

After a brief period of confusion and exploration, they were immediately attracted by the rich Spiritual Qi, the blooming jujube pear flowers, and the fragrance of the Azure Jade Spirit Peach Trees in the Spiritual Field.

The bee swarm emitted excited buzzing sounds, transforming into a flowing jade-white mist, gracefully weaving through the flowers, greedily collecting nectar.

The Jade Emperor Bee Queen’s icy blue figure also appeared at the entrance of the hive, gently flapping her wings, as if surveying this new territory.

The addition of the bee swarm added infinite vitality and vigor to this blessed Spiritual Field.
