Content and carefree, not anxious at all.
Besides farming, their activities include exploring the surrounding area.
Their exploration extends radially around the defensive formation theyâve built.
In the past few days, they have ventured more than 100 miles outward, encountering rundown villages, some refugees, and even spotting a mountain stronghold...
Yang Minke believes there might be another story behind it, but their team doesnât plan to explore further; the priority is to cultivate the crops and deliver them to Beijing within the specified time.
Yang Genshuo is somewhat puzzled.
If Yang Min hadnât discovered the secret manual for passing through the post station, this would be understandable.
But now that thereâs a strategy to pass, given the strength of Yang Minkeâs team, although they may not reach a perfect ending, they can use Plan B to defeat the Rat King and eliminate the Government Officials, thus obtaining all the underground grain.
However, Yang Minke doesnât see it that way.
He thinks farming here is also a narrative direction; with the path already explored by others, they can proceed smoothly...
Yang Genshuo didnât say much more.
"The children have grown and have their own ideas..."
"Ah~~~ so tired."
Yang Genshuo hasnât really rested in five days; even though Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators have abundant energy, heâs feeling a bit overwhelmed now.
"The refugees donât pose much threat to them, I better rest for a while... Iâll wait for them to call me when they face challenges."
Having given brief instructions, Yang Genshuo went to rest.
Once he lay down, something felt off.
He suddenly sat up.
"Damn? After the ancestor worship, I havenât left the house..."
During the ancestor worship ceremony four days ago, encountering unexpected changes, it was hastily concluded, and Yang Genshuo participated in the strategy for the Legendary Land, managing multiple tasks simultaneously until now.
He still hasnât dealt with the offerings from the ancestor worship.
After circulating the cultivation techniques from "Mechanical Techniques," Yang Genshuo felt somewhat refreshed.
"Brother Shuo, youâre out... thought you went back to seclusion again; I dared not disturb you."
"Brother Shuo, you havenât eaten for a few days? Want something to eat?"
"Master, weâve used up the Standard Spirit Construction Blocks in our storage rings; our Immortal Energy building still lacks some blocks. Where shall we go to get more?"
"Want to go out, Master? Let me go! I want to ride Xiao Yan!"
Hearing his companions orderly report and greet him, Yang Genshuo felt a warmth in his heart.
"Itâs so safe here..."
On Jiuhua Mountain, under bright sunlight, the climate is pleasant, with the fragrance of Spirit Grass wafting through the air.
Though protected only by a Third Grade Great Array, it is sufficient for their safety.
No Hungry Officials, no Mouse Servants, nor the scrutiny of other factions from the Immortal Cultivation World...
There might be only one cultivator on this planet now.
Previously feeling agitated from TW Organizationâs schemes, Yang Genshuo, looking back from the Immortal Cultivation World, realized it was just some trifling hardships.
"Definitely safe! These days during your seclusion, there was news from the military... leveraging the information from the old witch exposed, they acted in multiple cities across the country, catching a substantial number of external spies, uncovering many infiltration incidents, and deterring those foreign elements, especially in our Shimen City, it was a massive crackdown!"
"I dare say now even if we resume normal work, TW Organization can hardly spy on us like before."
Listening to Tian Zheâs report, Yang Genshuo nodded.
"Itâs necessary to trust the official measures sometimes."
"On matters like these, our goals align with the officials."
"After all, we are all from Hua Country."
The officialsâ action purified many TW Organization members, but Yang Genshuo knew... since TW Organization knew he took away the old witch, they also likely anticipated the exposure of Asian spies, and have probably evacuated their core members.
Those remaining may be slower or less informed.
In any event, after the official intervention, they could feel a little more secure for now.
"However... we must act as if the enemy could appear around us anytime, they could return at any moment, and our base must be able to completely fend off any scrutiny and ensure absolute safety!"
"Next, letâs finish the Immortal Energy building, resume our business and research."
This is their first area set up on Jiuhua Mountain, also a landmark building for the Immortal Energy Group.
All their laboratories, studios, meetings, trades will take place here.
The Immortal Energy building is constructed midway up Jiuhua Mountain, itâs the outermost structure in the whole Jiuhua Mountain layout; only by going through it can one reach other areas.
"Tian Zhe, along with you and ten others, come with me."
Yang Genshuo distributed a batch of new Standard Spirit Construction Blocks to everyone under the Immortal Energy building.
These items, not highly valuable, were mass-produced in Bright City.
This time, Yang Genshuo directly brought over an amount sufficient to completely transform Jiuhua Mountain.
For the Yang Family... itâs merely a drop in the ocean.
"Continue following the plan to finish the Immortal Energy building, then go down the mountain, transfer all the experimental equipment needed for Daoistâs lab and Liang Xuetongâs lab, tell Guo Xiaozhi to procure more if required."
"Furthermore, move our food, medicine, and brewery factory production lines over."
This is a comprehensive building capable of accommodating the operation of these factories.
"Yes, Master!"
The ten individuals got busy, and Tian Zhe, noticing his empty hands without a single Spirit Construction Block, quickly realized something.
"Brother Shuo, whatâs my assignment?"
Yang Genshuo looked at Tian Zhe, a mysterious smile appearing on his lips.
"Immortal cultivation."
"Hmm!?"
Yang Genshuo opened his hand, revealing a soil-colored tuber, resembling... a potato.
It emitted a faint spiritual light and a rich fragrance.
"This is...?"
Tian Zhe, as an Innate Grandmaster Martial Artist, could sense its irresistible attraction, believing that consuming it would bestow unimaginable benefits.
His sixth sense was very strong!
"This is a treasure that can transform you from mortal to immortal..."
[Earth Level Miracle Treasure: Essence of Earth]
Itâs a treasure on par with the Life Divine Seed, capable of reshaping a mortalâs Spirit Root!
Gulp~
Tian Zhe swallowed hard, incredulous at the golden potato-like item before him.
"I... really can?"
"Of course, are you ready?"
"Iâm ready!"
"Alright, let me guide you onto the Immortal Cultivation Path!"
Yang Genshuo needed a cultivator like himself as an assistant, and Tian Zhe was the most suitable person.
After Tian Zhe consumed the Essence of Earth, Yang Genshuo turned his gaze to the girl who quietly stayed behind him in the manor... Lin Yue.
He still possessed a Life Divine Seed, offered by the Yang Family.
"Reshape Spirit Root and restore imperfections..."
