30: Fine, I'll give her some extra help from now on!

Before long, the two arrived at the village entrance, only to see villagers already arriving in scattered groups.

Chu Yuan looked up at the sky; the sun had just begun to peek out.

At this time, they naturally needed to wait a bit longer before starting to sun the rice, waiting for the sun's temperature to rise higher and for all the villagers to arrive.

It could only be said that Zhang Yan had arrived a little early!

Chu Yuan looked at the rice in the four large sheds, his eyes slightly shifting.

Remembering the idea that had flashed through his mind yesterday, he walked straight to a pile of rice.

Seeing his action, Zhao Jun, who had just walked over, laughed, "Why are you in such a hurry, kid? Wait a little longer before taking it out to dry."

Chu Yuan laughed, "Grandpa Zhao, I missed a lot of the rice harvesting this year, and I don't know how much I'll get. You wait until I've smelled this year's rice first!"

With that, he fell backward, sinking his entire body into the pile of rice.

Seeing this, Zhao Jun shook his head and chuckled, "You don't have to say that, kid. You only missed a few days because you were injured."

"Besides, you and Xiang Wen worked together to eliminate the Ghostly Creature, which is a great kindness to the village. The village wouldn't treat you unfairly, would it?"

Hearing this, the villagers who had arrived all nodded, not refuting it.

By now, they all knew that Chu Yuan had Cultivation talent and had begun to Cultivate.

Moreover, from yesterday's situation, this kid's strength was definitely not weak.

Having such a Genius strong person in the village could greatly protect the village, which was naturally something everyone was happy about!

Therefore, even if they ate a little less, they would not let Chu Yuan go hungry.

Chu Yuan smiled, lying in the pile of rice and saying, "Grandpa Zhao cannot say that. The elders of the village raised me, so it's only right for me to contribute to the village."

"As for eliminating the Ghostly Creature, wasn't I doing it for myself? If the village gave me special treatment because of it, it would make me uneasy."

Zhao Jun shook his head with a smile and didn't say much more to him.

The villagers gathered in twos and threes, chatting and laughing among themselves.

Of course, some looked at the four piles of rice with worried expressions.

Zhang Yan sat not far away, quietly watching Chu Yuan, not knowing what she was thinking.

Chu Yuan's mind stirred, and he sent a small pile of rice from beneath him into the primal origin space.

Infinite automatic replication began!

And for every copy produced, he took it out and threw it into the rice pile.

With the rainproof wooden boards blocking the view, no one could tell what was happening for a while.

In just two minutes, this pile of rice had increased by about ten percent.

This amount was just right; most likely, no one would notice anything unusual.

Chu Yuan stopped while he was ahead, got up, and lay in the rice piles of all four large sheds for two minutes each.

Everyone saw his strange behavior but didn't say anything.

Surely, under everyone's watchful eyes, Chu Yuan couldn't possibly take the rice, could he?!

Moreover, they knew Chu Yuan's character; he would rather starve than steal.

Not long after Chu Yuan left the rice piles, Zhang Xiangwen and others also arrived.

Zhang Xiangwen glanced at the sun, then said, "Let's begin!"

Everyone immediately got to work.

They took out the drying mats from the sheds and began preparing to sun the rice.

Meanwhile, Zhao Jun and Zhang Xiangwen, along with a few Guard Team members, vigilantly watched for threats outside the village.

After all, the village entrance was very close to outside the village. Even with the village protecting bell's deterrence, it was always necessary to be alert for demons attacking from outside.

If demons suddenly ran in and took one or two people, that would truly be a big problem.

Chu Yuan didn't go to stand guard; he wanted to help with sunning the rice.

After all, this process required someone to move the rice out.

He could also perform another operation during this time!

While waiting for Zhang Xiangwen and others to arrive, he had already replicated another batch of rice, which amounted to about one and a half tenths of the village's total rice.

He needed to secretly move all the rice from within the primal origin space during the transportation process.

This way, Xiao Huang Village's harvest this year would be even greater than last year, and they wouldn't have to worry.

And just as he thought, those transporting the rice didn't notice anything unusual about the four rice piles.

Everyone worked for over two quarters of an hour, moving all the rice out to dry.

During this process, Chu Yuan took out all the rice, leaving only a small handful.

Next, they just needed to leave people to turn it occasionally so the rice would dry more evenly.

One thing perfectly resolved!

Chu Yuan let out a long breath in his heart, a faint smile unconsciously appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He looked at Zhang Yan, intending to take her back to teach her the Meteor Sword Technique, but his gaze fell on the others, and he hesitated.

Never mind!

He would give her private lessons later!

Thinking this, Chu Yuan patted Zhang Yan's shoulder and whispered,

"Sister Yaner, I'll teach you swordplay now, and also help the village!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yan's eyes showed confusion, somewhat not understanding his meaning.

But soon, she understood.

Chu Yuan looked at the children playing nearby, walked over, and said with a smile,

"Little ones, how about I teach you something?"

Hearing this, many children stopped, and even the villagers nearby looked over curiously.

A little girl's eyes lit up, and she asked in a clear voice, "Brother Chu Yuan, what do you want to teach us?"

"Brother Chu Yuan, is it fun?"

"Brother Chu Yuan, are you going to play with us?"

"..."

Looking at the group of children's innocent smiling faces, Chu Yuan smiled slightly.

"Watch me perform it once. If you want to learn after watching, how about I teach you?"

"Okay, okay!"

Hearing Chu Yuan's words, the children all nodded, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Chu Yuan smiled and picked up a thin wooden stick, over a meter long, from nearby.

Then, his gaze sharpened slightly, as if a long sword was in his hand.

The sword rose!

The Meteor Sword Technique slowly unfolded in his hands. His speed seemed very slow, allowing everyone to see it somewhat clearly.

But it was also not slow; the sword moves were graceful and magnificent, and a sharp Aura emanated with them.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiangwen and Zhao Jun's expressions couldn't help but change in surprise.

"A Martial Skill!?"

"And it's not weaker than the Chaotic Star Saber Technique. Where did this kid get it from?"

Zhao Jun exclaimed, his eyes full of disbelief.

Hearing his words, the surrounding Guard Team members and ordinary villagers all had slight changes in their gazes.

Martial Skill?

They naturally knew there was a Martial Skill in the Ancestral Hall; they had even Cultivated it.

Listening to Zhao Jun, did he mean the Martial Skill Chu Yuan was demonstrating wasn't weaker than the one in the Ancestral Hall?

Zhang Xiangwen's eyes were also surprised, but he spoke, "Uncle Zhao, look, this Martial Skill bears some similarity to the Chaotic Star Saber Technique. It's highly likely this kid comprehended it from the Chaotic Star Saber Technique!"

Hearing this, Zhao Jun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but look carefully.

"It really is!"

"Is this kid such a Prodigy?"

Zhang Xiangwen's voice continued, full of emotion, "The key is, he's even willing to teach it to the villagers!"

Hearing this, Zhao Jun and the others looked at Chu Yuan with eyes full of admiration.

But suddenly, Zhao Jun seemed to remember something, and his expression couldn't help but change slightly.
