Shen Wang was thinking about something.
A month later, could Lan Kui give birth to offspring?
If she could successfully conceive, then he could receive three more points of reward each day.
By then, his progress could increase by one-third, and his speed of improvement would be much faster.
He didn’t participate in women’s gossip and leisurely strolled to the edge of the cultivated land in the courtyard center.
Here it was lush with various vegetables and crops like millet.
After a month, the seeds sown in the soil had already sprouted.
With his meticulous care, the various crops were growing very well; some could already be eaten, and some grains would soon bear ears in half a month, basically eliminating worries about daily vegetables and grains.
He formed a seal with one hand, and water from the pond flew up, transforming into serpentine streams, which deftly irrigated the roots.
It was evident that his Water Control Technique was very refined, even better than some who specialized in Water Attribute Magic.
He continued to weed and remove pests, trim away some surplus branches, and loosen the soil.
"Water Attribute Magic +1!"
"Wood Attribute Magic +1!"
"Earth Attribute Magic +1!"
"Gold Attribute Magic +1!"
Apart from Fire Attribute Magic, he received rewards for experience in four types of Attribute Magic.
Since the seeds in this land sprouted, he began to receive rewards, which led him to specifically care for this land.
This kind of behavior initially surprised others quite a bit.
He could only say that farming is also a practice, it can Calm Heart and Concentrate Spirit; this persuaded Liu Shan and others not to rush to do this chore.
"I do some things outside for them, but there’s no reward, it really seems related to distance."
Shen Wang thought about some matters, and leisurely picked some vegetables to start cooking for the ladies.
Switching to cooking was even more absurd, as he could gain experience rewards for Five Elements Magic.
Chopping vegetables with a knife corresponded to the Gold Attribute, the dishes themselves were related to Wood and Water Attribute, the stove was corresponding to Fire and Earth, and by cooking a meal, he gained experience rewards for all Five Elements.
Of course, there was also cooking, this comprehensive skill experience reward, not useful for combat, more fitting for life.
The most speechless part was that chopping vegetables could enhance Saber Technique experience!
This was something he discovered after personally cooking a meal.
Because Liu Shan and Hongping were recently preparing for an Innate breakthrough, Jia’Er’s belly was growing bigger, Paper Kite was considered a young lady without much experience, the meals prepared were really unpalatable.
Shen Wang had nothing to do, so he personally went into the kitchen once, only then did he find out that doing this task actually came with rewards, which he had previously overlooked, only focusing on decocting Prenatal Medicine every day.
Regarding these surprises, he could only say that the system pays too much attention to details, with a low threshold for rewards, emphasizing action.
After finishing cooking and calling everyone to eat, Shen Wang helped the two ladies and a daughter nourish their meridians before calmly practicing for two hours.
Afterwards, when it was almost dark, he began preparing dinner.
Basically, every day was , peaceful yet fulfilling.
Outside the ancestral house, people from Black Water Stronghold built a circle of wooden houses and settled down directly.
Their presence led the villagers at the foot of the mountain to mistakenly think this place had become a robber’s den, and no one dared to approach.
Village Chief of Black Water Stronghold, Gong Yu, looked at the still stable array and said to Yun Conghui: "Things can’t go on , my brothers can’t live on nothing."
"You haven’t used up the resources you looted last time, have you?" Yun Conghui frowned.
"So many people, not much for each one, it’s almost gone."
Gong Yu shook his head, saying: "If Yun is willing to continue providing us resources, training here while attacking the array wouldn’t be bad."
"So many people, I dare not decide, you better think of other ways, the Yun Family can at most provide you with a portion of the resources."
Yun Conghui directly refused.
"We can’t keep going , after a while, the brothers are sure to have opinions."
Gong Yu was in a dilemma: "Although everyone respects Elder Xuanting, if they really want to leave, I can’t stop them."
Yun Conghui inwardly sneered, you a robber leader still don’t know how to intimidate effectively, in the end you still want benefits for yourself.
Though seeing through Gong Yu’s thoughts, Yun Conghui couldn’t say it out loud, and said: "Every day, I take action with everyone and see everyone’s hard work, I will try my best to secure resources for you."
"Then we’ll trouble Yun."
Gong Yu smiled, "Actually, as long as resources are sufficient, training every day this way is quite beneficial for improving cultivation."
Beside him, Ge Changzhuang remained silent, knowing that if the Yun Family provided enough resources for these people, it would essentially be supporting them.
Based on his understanding of Xuanting, it was impossible to do such a good deed.
Indeed, after Yun Conghui relayed the message back, Profound Thunder Zhenren arrived directly at Fengming Mountain.
He summoned Gong Yu over, "Your main activities must not be neglected, split into two groups in regular times; one group attacks the array, the other goes out to find resources, I will guide your cultivation here."
Gong Yu’s expression stiffened, internally cursing the other party, who was stingy as could be, but could only accompany with a smile: "Thank you, Profound Thunder Zhenren, having you to guide us, it counts as having an esteemed teacher guiding us, not worse than those family and sect disciples."
He could only use this to comfort himself and others, having a Golden Core Zhenren’s guidance was sure to be good.
"My guidance must remain confidential, and when you go out, you cannot tell outsiders I have any relation to you, understand?"
Profound Thunder Zhenren said coldly.
Gong Yu knew Profound Thunder Zhenren was both stingy and cherished his reputation, not wanting his association with them to tarnish his name.
"Get going, whoever performs well next will get priority guidance."
Profound Thunder Zhenren said. He devised well, with his arrival simultaneously intimidating these people from running away, attacking the array without slacking, also using the lure of guidance to make some work harder.
Gong Yu’s mouth twitched, he could only retreat respectfully.
Already having reached Foundation Establishment, Shen Wang soon sensed Profound Thunder Zhenren’s arrival, meticulously checked and adjusted the array, continuing with his own things.
After that, Shen Wang’s life remained very calm, outside attacks increased in intensity due to Profound Thunder Zhenren’s presence, but the attack duration was halved.
This was because people from Black Water Stronghold had to go out and rob to meet their daily expenses, reducing attack time.
With Profound Thunder Zhenren’s backing, Black Water Stronghold’s scope of robbery extended from Black Water Stream to Baixi City vicinity, leaving some local cultivators suffering.
Black Water Stronghold’s people initially grumbled, but finding they had a broader range to raid, having someone to back them up, they could handle tougher nuts, the gains ended up better than before.
Moreover, they more or less received Profound Thunder Zhenren’s guidance, working hard on attacking the array daily, their progress was faster than usual, becoming bigger and stronger, getting increasingly famous in Xi Province’s Green Forest Realm.
Another month passed, Shen Wang didn’t receive a result from Lan Kui’s conception, instead discovering Profound Thunder Zhenren started exploring their family’s Grave Mountain, battling with the evils inside.
He roughly knew Profound Thunder Zhenren out of boredom, became interested in Grave Mountain.
