31: Wang Teng’s shopping diary!

After Shen Li left, Wang Teng lay in the study, reminiscing about his life.

This Grandmaster Martial Artist named Qiu Ya was too violent in her methods.

Each Family has its own Cultivation method; in the Shen Family, an Shen Family Immortal Seed is provided with a Dao Protector.

However, in the Wang Family, there is no such thing as a Dao Protector.

Their Realm advancement is slow, partly due to their Cultivation of martial arts.

Yes, in addition to Cultivating spell techniques, Wang Teng also Cultivated several martial arts.

This was naturally to be thick-skinned and run fast.

In fact, the Immortal Realm does not recommend doing this.

A person's energy is limited after all; both Cultivation Technique and spell techniques are very mentally taxing to Cultivate.

Furthermore, martial artists and Qi Refiners are completely different; one tempers the Physical Body, and the other absorbs Spiritual Qi, both requiring the vast majority of one's time.

These times are mutually exclusive.

Moreover, the circulation of Qi and Spiritual Qi can lead to different repulsive reactions, which also require time to neutralize.

That's why his progress was so slow, not to mention he was also ambushed.

That is, he had all the negative buffs stacked.

But this indeed increased his self-preservation ability.

After all, didn't Qiu Ya say so? this Young Master is very resilient.

Wang Teng, unlike Shen Li, did not need constant supervision, so he felt more relaxed, walked out of the study, and gazed into the distance.

The grand formation was slowly being repaired, and it seemed it would take some time.

There was no Spiritual Vein here for Cultivation, so he could only wander around.

The City Lord's Mansion had no restricted areas, and he quickly made his way to the backyard.

Seeing Chen He repairing the Spirit fields, he, having nothing to do, started a conversation.

"Hey, you, Spirit Farmer, yes, that's right, you! this Young Master is talking to you!"

Chen He ignored this person; Shen Li had already instructed her before leaving to avoid interacting with this person as much as possible.

He said this person was not right in the head and loved to kill people in his dreams.

This scared Chen He, so facing this person's harassment, she remained silent!

How could Wang Teng have ever suffered such humiliation? He was about to make a move.

But he thought of Shen Li, thought of the contract, and then thought of the rules set by his elders before he left, so he endured.

However, being this bored was also not an option, so he quickly thought of a solution and said,

"Isn't it just crescent moon rice? My Family has plenty of this stuff!"

"Chat with me for a while, and when I go home, I'll pull out two crescent moon rice plants that can produce offspring for you."

Hearing this, Chen He rose in confusion, her gentle Face filled with strangeness.

Wang Teng smiled proudly.

"Women, ah, they can indeed be appeased with money. She was so aloof before, hehe."

But Chen He, gentle yet polite, said in a rather unfamiliar tone,

"Young Master, whether it's crescent moon rice or other Spirit Plant mother plants, they cannot be moved casually."

"They are inherently a collective, relying on the overall wood attribute to maintain the quality of a ninth-rank heaven and earth treasure. Extracting a few, if the foundation is deep, it doesn't matter, but if the foundation is shallow, it might cause the quality of the entire mother plant to decline!"

"Moreover, a mother plant that has been picked will instantly become Low Grade, and what is grown from it will probably be inferior to the crescent moon rice here."

Being lectured, Wang Teng's Face was embarrassed, but he quickly continued,

"Let's not talk about this first."

"How is that Shen? What kind of person is he?"

"The City Lord is naturally a good person, Young Master, it is inappropriate for you to refer to my City Lord in such a manner!"

Wang Teng arrogantly said,

"It might be inappropriate for others, but I don't care. Do you know who I am?"

"My City Lord said you are a lunatic."

Wang Teng was instantly furious.

"Shen!"

Then he didn't dare to continue talking and ran far away on his own!

Seeing this person fuming, Chen He wiped the sweat from her temples, but her inner conviction grew stronger.

"My Young Master was indeed right; this person really seems to be a lunatic."

The Qing He Cow beside her mooed.

Chen He stroked the Qing He Cow's nose ring, looking at the Spirit plants that were somewhat listless due to the fire attribute Spiritual Qi, sighing.

"Half a day's work wasted!"

"Old cow, you must stay far away from him. Be careful, he might turn you into roasted beef!"

"Moo~~"

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Wang Teng was like a troublesome brat disliked by everyone.

He kicked left, kicked right.

He even teased chickens for no reason.

But he quickly grew bored and found a place where commoners gathered and sat down.

It was already dusk, and all the Black Ridge City residents had returned home, eaten, and came out to enjoy the rare coolness of the day.

Seeing the unfamiliar Face, these commoners were not shy. They picked up a broken bowl, poured clear spring water into it, and handed it to Wang Teng.

Wang Teng didn't want to take it; the bowl was tattered, and using such a thing would hurt his Face.

But seeing the many expectant gazes, he inexplicably took it.

The commoner spoke in a local dialect, but he understood it.

"Young man, you're a new Face. Where are you from?"

Wang Teng casually made up a background, and then the commoner patted his shoulder.

It was a bit dirty~

He was about to lose his temper but held back again.

The old man continued,

"How's the water?"

"Water? Isn't it just the most ordinary water? How could it be anything special?"

This indeed stumped Wang Teng.

Then the commoner poured out another bowl of water, clinked it with his, a look of intoxication flashing across his Face, and said,

"You've come at a good time. You know, before the City Lord arrived, we had to run more than ten li away to fetch water!"

"Then why didn't you just move away?" Saying this, Wang Teng closed his mouth.

Migrants from each area were not allowed to leave their stationed location.

This was the rule.

Even their Wang Family had to obey, let alone the Shen Family.

Qingchi Mountain was always this overbearing.

The commoner pretended not to hear, merely squinting his eyes and reminiscing,

"Black Ridge City hasn't had water for many years since I was born."

"The land dried up, and more and more people died. Some young adults, not believing in evil, tried to escape, and they were never seen again since."

"I thought this old man would die unknowingly in the desert, becoming a mummy, but I never expected that before my death, a new City Lord arrived!"

"This new City Lord opened a spring, allowing us to drink this precious water, and used Immortal techniques to bring rain, nourishing the dry Black Ridge City."

"He transformed the barren land outside the city, allowing us to farm."

"If he had come earlier... how could Black Ridge City have fallen to such a state?"

Wang Teng was silent, then asked a question.

"Old man, do you feel more gratitude or more hatred?"

The old man hadn't read much, and after thinking for a long time, he gave an answer that made Wang Teng feel quite uneasy.

"I remember the kindness, I dare not hate."

Wang Teng nodded, said nothing, stood up, did not participate in the idle chat, and walked to the city gate.

He gazed at the towering yellow sand city walls in the distance.

The city walls were like majestic tombstones.

But in his eyes, at this moment, they somewhat resembled... tombstones.

"Remember kindness."

"Dare not hate?"

"Cultivate the Dao, ah."

"They are for living... then what am I for?"
