79: The spiritual rice is ripe, Sen Yan Zhenren!!!

“Is it snowing?”

“It’s snowing~”

Cheers and shouts of joy rang out from outside the door.

Three young girls, having skipped their cultivation, continuously waved their hands, catching snowflakes.

The common folk had never seen such a sight, and their eyes were filled with wonder.

After all, some people had never seen snow in their entire lives...

Because this was a plain where yellow sand filled the sky...

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion, in the connecting corridor, Wang Teng pouted.

“That Shen fellow is truly showy. He probably made some progress in his cultivation and wants to display his skills.”

Qiu Ya also stood in the connecting corridor, smiling gently.

“The Yellow Sand Plains is not like Qingyang County; it’s scorching hot all day, with no water vapor. Who can stand it?”

“Young Master Wang might not know, but my Young Master’s favorite thing is snow and rain. He especially loves snow.”

“Furthermore, calculating the days, it’s almost New Year. In previous years at this time, the Shen Family would have an Old Ancestor cast a spell, blanketing the entire city in snow, pressing down on the eaves—a truly beautiful sight.”

Wang Teng was startled for a moment, then nodded.

The Wang Family liked dry heat. Their ancestral home was even located on a seventh-rank volcanic Spiritual Vein. Most of their Immortal Seedling were of the fire and metal elements. Normally, let alone snow, not even a drop of rain would fall there.

Even if clouds drifted by, they would be stripped of a layer of their essence by the scorching volcanic Spiritual Qi before scurrying away.

So he rarely saw snow.

Moreover, he had devoted himself to cultivation since childhood. Aside from the incident of being poisoned, he cared even less about the outside world and had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery before him, which led his Heart-Nature to become increasingly volatile.

He was then exiled by his Family to Crescent Lake Market to temper his disposition.

It was even harder to see snow there.

Now, it seemed refreshing.

After all, having seen endless yellow sand and scorching sun, enjoying a moment of heavy snow could also be pleasing to the eye.

The crescent moon rice was bent over by the heavy snow, but fortunately, it finally ripened.

Chen He harvested them one by one, then placed the fruits into her Storage Pouch, while the cut stems were given to the Qing He Cow.

After clearing one mu of spiritual field, she returned to the connecting corridor, brushed off the accumulated snow from her body, and said with some melancholy.

“I remember the last time I saw snow was seven years ago. At that time, my Family was still intact, and my relatives were still alive. Whenever it snowed, we would wrap candied fruits, brew a pot of black tea, light the underfloor heating, and enjoy the snow under the eaves.”

“Are you homesick?”

Qiu Ya asked with a smile.

Chen He merely shook her head, saying forlornly.

“My Family has been destroyed, wiped out, and I myself was abducted to the Yellow Sand Plains. I am already like a floating duckweed… That home, which only exists in dreams, can no longer be returned to.”

Seeing this, Qiu Ya did not say much, only patted Chen He’s shoulder.

“If Young Master has time, I will ask him to write a letter home to see if he can go to Qingyang and find some of your relatives.”

“Thank you, Lady Qiu.”

Inviting Moon led the two tired girls into the long corridor and bowed slightly.

The people in front of them scattered, but Wang Teng alone did not move aside.

Before Shen Li went into seclusion, he had already given instructions not to offend the two women. As for Xiu Qing, she was also an Immortal Seedling, and in the future, she would certainly be an Immortal Master, with a noble status, and could not be treated as an ordinary person.

Therefore, few people were able to receive their bows.

Wang Teng… was an exception.

After all, he had always been so shameless.

Inviting Moon’s voice was clear and cold, asking with a hint of respect.

“Lady Qiu… this snow… was it cast by Immortal Master Shen Li?”

Qiu Ya smiled and said.

“Since you want to become Young Master’s maid, in the future, don’t call him City Lord anymore; it seems too formal. Just call him Young Master, like me.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Inviting Moon’s eyes.

“Lady Qiu Ya, is that true?”

“And don’t call me Lady; just call me Qiu Ya. I am a little older than you… calling me elder sister is fine too.”

“Okay, Elder Sister Qiu.”

Qiu Ya nodded and said casually.

“It should be Young Master, no doubt. It’s probably a spell given by that mysterious Immortal Master, which Young Master has successfully comprehended, so he got interested and cast the Little Wind and Snow Technique.”

“I didn’t expect Young Master to be so terrifying now, able to cover the entire Black Ridge City.”

“Hmph hmph.” Seeing this, Wang Teng snorted twice, about to retort, but he dared not say more.

He was afraid of getting another beating.

As for regaining his former glory, he probably had to wait until he reached Qi Refining Middle Stage.

Hmm… perhaps?

After all, both female martial artists possessed Ultimate Martial Arts… their combat power would likely soar again.

It was truly frustrating. He, the dignified Young Master of the Wang Family… forget it, no need to mention it.

It was better to honestly be a timid tortoise.

At this moment, a figure quietly landed on the eaves, dressed in white, unstained by the mundane world.

It sounded a bit strange, but seeing this person’s skin, one could only describe it as skin three parts whiter than snow.

One could even vaguely see the green Bloodline beneath the skin.

Like a lifelike ice sculpture.

He stood with his hands behind his back, one palm facing upwards, catching the crystal-clear snowflakes.

His long hair continuously danced in the wind, shimmering with crystalline beauty.

Falling into the courtyard, the figure was enveloped by a frosty white Spiritual Qi aura.

It drew the endless wind and snow into a massive vortex, which suddenly exploded.

Slowly retracting, he opened his eyes again, only to find that the figure, like a banished Immortal, had silently appeared in the connecting corridor.

His cultivation aura was fixed at Qi Refining Stage 5 Perfection.

Seeing this scene, Wang Teng couldn’t help but complain again.

“In just over a month, your cultivation has improved again? Are you even letting people live?”

Seeing this, Shen Li revealed a faint smile. Many women in the corridor, seeing this, suddenly felt their hearts skip a beat.

They quickly lowered their heads.

Shen Li said helplessly.

“Two ninth-rank heaven and earth treasures only raised my cultivation by two stages… This itself is a huge waste. Brother Wang, aren’t you overpraising me?”

Wang Teng frowned and asked.

“I see that you often have reserves of power. Although this place is not a ninth-rank Spiritual Vein, the Spiritual Qi is enough to support your Breakthrough to the sixth stage… Why don’t you do it in one go?”

Shen Li said calmly.

“Sometimes, being too fast is not good for a man.”

“What’s wrong with cultivation being too fast? I wish I could reach Dao Foundation in one day, Purple Mansion in two, Golden Core in three, and directly ascend in four… Crazy.”

“Wait… Shen, are you messing with me again?”

Shen Li laughed heartily but said no more, only instructing.

“The crescent moon rice has ripened. Today, we are blessed to have the first meal of our own home-grown spiritual rice.”

“Everyone present has a share… This is to thank everyone for your hard work this past year…”

But at this moment… a declaration like a grand bell suddenly resounded between heaven and earth.

The sound spread extremely far… clear and resonant, yet carrying the profound weight of a mountain.

Outside the Yunmai Heshui Formation, the Huangsha Dragon Whirlwind Array shattered. The whirlwinds seemed to be forcibly crushed by a vast power.

The Little Wind and Snow Technique suddenly dissipated under waves of Spiritual Qi fluctuations.

It was as if an Immortal was fighting in the sky, Spiritual Qi overflowing, suppressing the current era!

An extremely familiar voice echoed in everyone’s hearts.

The entire Black Horn Mountain Range heard this declaration to Heaven and Earth.

【This humble Daoist, Wang Baoyu of Qingchi Mountain.】

【Today, I killed Old Ancestor Huang Feng, the evil cultivator Lin Hexian, the Loose Cultivator Ye Ting, the Yao Beast Great King Huangshu… and the Yao Beast Earth Dragon.】

【By consuming the heart of the Earth Dragon and the ninth-rank Senyang Sha, I have crossed the Half-Step Dao Foundation threshold and achieved Medium Grade Dao Foundation.】
