72: Chapter 72 The Opening of the Spirit Fields! This isn't farming, it's a fairyland!

Screech—

The beat-up Jetta stopped at the entrance of Locust Tree Alley.

"You're really not planning to let me go in and sit for a while?"

Lin Bing rolled down the car window, looking at Su Yang, who was humming a little tune while unbuckling his seatbelt, her eyes somewhat complex.

Everything that happened today.

Gave her a brand new understanding of this seemingly slacker-like young man.

Mysterious, powerful, and... with a unique way of thinking.

"Another day. We're doing some major construction at home today, it's dusty."

Su Yang waved his hand, "Besides, I don't like being watched when I'm farming; it's easy to get distracted."

"...Fine."

Lin Bing rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Then be careful. If there's any follow-up with those insect eggs, remember to contact me immediately."

"Got it, nag."

After sending Lin Bing away, Su Yang turned and pushed open the vermilion gate.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Zhou Mingyue holding her phone, doing a "Spirit Exploration Livestream" aimed at the old locust tree in the yard.

"Family, this is the legendary century-old locust tree. It's said that under this tree, there was buried... Oh! Boss, you're back!"

Seeing Su Yang, Zhou Mingyue's eyes lit up, and she quickly pointed the camera at him.

"Look! This is our Agency's Master Su! He just came back from handling a shocking major case!"

"Go away, don't film me."

Su Yang blocked the camera, "The livestream is paused for today. Everyone, including the ghosts, go back to your rooms and stay there."

"Huh? Why?" Zhou Mingyue asked, looking puzzled, "The popularity is really high right now."

"Because I'm going to renovate this courtyard."

Su Yang looked at the courtyard, which was clean but slightly desolate, and a trace of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

"Renovate? Boss, did you hire a renovation crew?"

"Renovation crew?"

Su Yang smiled mysteriously and pulled out the [Spiritual Field Blueprint] that was emitting a faint fluorescent glow from his pocket.

"I'm using a celestial renovation crew."

...

After driving Zhou Mingyue and the few ghost servants into the house and strictly forbidding them from peeking, Su Yang stood in the center of the courtyard and took a deep breath.

"System, use [Spiritual Field Blueprint (Elementary)]!"

"Target location: Front yard and backyard open space!"

"Ding! Use confirmed! Opening the Spiritual Field..."

Rumble—

As the System's prompt faded.

The entire No. 44 Courtyard seemed to experience a small earthquake.

But strangely, the vibration was limited to within the courtyard walls; it didn't even startle a stray cat passing by outside.

The bluestone slabs that had originally been laid on the ground seemed to have come to life, automatically separating to both sides and revealing the black-brown soil underneath.

Immediately after, a visible milky-white Spiritual Qi gushed out from under the ground, sprinkling onto the soil like sweet rain.

Sizzle—

Under the nourishment of the Spiritual Qi.

The originally dry, hard, and barren soil began to undergo an earth-shaking transformation.

The color became deeper and deeper, finally turning into "Spiritual Soil" that was as oily, moist, and fertile as black jade.

A fresh scent of soil mixed with a faint fragrance of plants and trees instantly permeated the entire courtyard.

"Ding! Elementary Spiritual Field successfully opened! Current area: 1.3 mu of land."

"Properties: Crop growth speed +100%, Spiritual Qi content +50%, immune to pests and diseases."

"Good stuff!"

Su Yang squatted down and grabbed a handful of black soil.

It felt warm and delicate to the touch, and he could even feel the faint vitality contained within it.

Planting things in this soil.

Even sticking a chopstick in it would probably sprout!

"I have the land, next is the seeds."

Su Yang clapped his hands and opened the System store.

He had previously saved over 2000 points, and after spending 800 on talisman paper, plus the 2000 from the mission reward just now, he currently had a huge fortune of over 3200 points.

"System, recommend some Spiritual seeds suitable for beginners."

"Ding! Recommendations as follows:"

"1. [Spirit Gathering Grass seeds]: Elementary Spiritual Plant, can absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, improve the surrounding environment, maturity period: 3 days. Price: 100 points/pack."

"2. [vermilion fruit sapling]: Low-grade spiritual fruit, the fruit is sweet and juicy, regular consumption can strengthen the body and improve beauty, maturity period: 15 days. Price: 500 points/plant."

"3. [spirit crystal rice seeds]: Main staple food of the Immortal Realm, contains pure spiritual power, long-term consumption can cleanse the marrow and refine the body, maturity period: 7 days. Price: 300 points/pack."

"Improve beauty?"

Seeing the introduction for the vermilion fruit.

Su Yang's mind instantly conjured up the faces of those women at home.

If this thing were grown, they'd probably fight tooth and nail for it, right?

And the spirit crystal rice is also good.

Always eating takeout isn't healthy; it's time to improve the diet.

"System, give me two packs of Spirit Gathering Grass, one vermilion fruit sapling, and another pack of spirit crystal rice!"

"Ding! 1000 points deducted! Purchase successful!"

With a flash of light, several exquisite small cloth bags and a half-meter-tall small sapling appeared in Su Yang's hand.

"Let's get to work!"

Su Yang, like a diligent old farmer, rolled up his sleeves and started working in the Spiritual Field.

Saying it's work, it's really just digging holes and burying some soil.

With the blessing of the Spiritual Field's properties.

There was no need to fertilize or water like normal farming.

When he planted the last grain of spirit crystal rice and watered it once with the well water in the courtyard, a magical scene occurred.

Whoosh—

The newly planted Spirit Gathering Grass seeds.

Actually broke through the soil at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The tender green sprouts swayed in the wind, emitting little points of starlight, illuminating the entire courtyard in a dreamlike way.

That vermilion fruit sapling grew a foot taller in an instant, its branches and leaves stretching out, and a few pale pink flower buds were already hanging on the branches.

The originally gloomy, ominous house.

Now had a hint of the charm of an immortal blessed land.

"Phew... done!"

Su Yang straightened his back, looking at the vibrant green before him, and nodded with satisfaction.

"This is what you call life."

"Screech—"

Just then, the door of the main house was pushed open a crack.

A few heads poked out cautiously.

"Boss... the vibration has stopped, can we come out now?"

Zhou Mingyue hadn't even seen the scene in the courtyard clearly before asking.

"Come out, let me show you the empire I've conquered."

Su Yang sprawled out on the lounge chair, leisurely waving his fan.

Several people walked out of the house.

The next second.

"Holy... sh*t?!"

Zhou Mingyue blurted out a classic expletive, almost dropping her phone in shock.

"Is... is this our courtyard?"

The originally bare courtyard, which only had a few weeds, had now turned into a lush garden!

The air was filled with a refreshing fragrance that made one feel comfortable all over; taking a deep breath, one felt like they were about to float away.

"Such pure Spiritual Qi!"

Su Qingcheng floated out, her beautiful eyes full of shock.

As a fierce ghost, her perception of Spiritual Qi was the most acute.

"Cultivating here for one day is probably equivalent to cultivating outside for a month!"

"Master, have you... moved the Heavenly Court's imperial garden down here?"

Chu Ling also couldn't help but exclaim. She walked to the vermilion fruit sapling, looking at the budding flower, and actually felt that the corpse poison in her body had been suppressed a bit.

Mary was even more exaggerated, directly throwing herself into the patch of Spirit Gathering Grass to roll around.

"Comfortable! So comfortable!"

"Feels like my skin is breathing! This is even better than any top-tier SPA!"

Looking at this group of people who hadn't seen the world, Su Yang's mouth curled slightly, and a sense of accomplishment welled up in his heart.

"Alright, stop screaming there."

"From now on, this will be our logistics base."

"You there, Mary, from now on, the task of watering and fertilizing these few mu of land is handed to you."

"If you dare to slack off, I'll hang you on the tree as air-dried cured meat."

"Huh? Me again?"

Mary raised her head from the grass, looking aggrieved.

"Master, I am a Prince, not a flower farmer..."

"What? Do you have an opinion?"

Su Yang raised an eyebrow.

"No! No opinion!"

Mary immediately caved.

"Being able to farm for Master is Mary's honor!"

"That's more like it."

Su Yang closed his eyes contentedly, enjoying the breeze on his face.

However.

Just at this peaceful moment.

"Ding-dong—"

The doorbell suddenly rang.

At this late hour, who would come here?

"Mingyue, go open the door."

Su Yang was too lazy to move.

Zhou Mingyue ran over to open the gate.

Outside the door stood a delivery guy wearing a courier uniform, holding a long, black box in his hands.

But the delivery guy's face was pale, his eyes dull, just like a... dead person.

"Excuse me... is this Mr. Su Yang's home?"

The guy's voice was mechanical and stiff.

"There is... an express delivery for you."

Zhou Mingyue looked at that black box, and a chill inexplicably surged in her heart.

That box's shape, no matter how she looked at it...

How did it look like a miniature coffin?
