Chaos Spirit Field

Zhao Shanhe's eagerness to leave the sect wasn't just due to his deep longing for his family, but also because he had nothing left to plant. Over the past three years, the Primal Chaos Spiritual Field had undergone tremendous changes. Just recently, he had successfully planted the Mountain and River Ring within the field. Space Stones were incredibly rare, and monsters with space attributes possessed terrifying power comparable to those of Nascent Soul cultivators. Even glimpsing one was difficult. For Zhao Shanhe, still only at the Qi Refining stage, obtaining its feces was harder than ascending to heaven.

Through research, it was discovered that Chaos Spiritual Fields possess the ability to evolve. When one hundred Red-grade Spiritual Fields converge and fuse, they become a higher-level Orange-grade Spiritual Field. This Orange-grade Spiritual Field not only reduces the maturation time of Orange-grade items by half, but also eliminates the need for specialized fertilizers. Of course, applying the right fertilizer can bring additional benefits.

Zhao Shanhe also discovered another characteristic of the Chaos Spiritual Field—it was "picky"! Not everything related to cultivation would emit light—only ancient manuals would. It was even more particular about magical instruments, with items like the Mountain and River Sword and storage bags failing to elicit any reaction. The only thing it wasn't picky about was spiritual herbs. As long as they were fully formed and alive, they would grow almost anything. This was how he accumulated over a hundred acres of spiritual fields.

After Tantai Mingyue left, Zhao Shanhe quickened his pace, getting closer and closer to Qingniu Market. Suddenly, he heard a noise behind him. He sighed helplessly and said loudly, "Wife, stop it. You really can't go home with me. Let's hurry back to the sect to avoid danger."

However, the voice behind him was a hoarse male voice. A man in black, wrapped tightly in a black cloth and with his face covered, emerged from the darkness and said coldly, "Zhao Shanhe, who is your wife? Is it Tan Tai Mingyue?"

Zhao Shanhe was stunned. When he saw who it was, he froze for a moment. He had never dreamed that this person wasn't Tan Tai Ming Yue. Judging from the other person's clothing, it was obvious that he was not a good person. Under normal circumstances, who would hide so clearly in broad daylight?

"Who are you, sir? This place is not far from the Qingniu Sect. I have already sent a distress signal to the sect. The elders of the sect will be there in an instant. It's still not too late to leave now."

The man in black remained calm and composed, showing no intention of leaving. He said disdainfully, "Zhao Shanhe, how come I didn't know you asked for help from the sect? Who did you send it to? Tell me. As far as I know, the Qingniu Sect's disciples' badges can only send distress signals within the Qingniu Sect's sphere of influence, and this place happens not to be under the Qingniu Sect's jurisdiction."

"From your tone, it seems that you know a lot about the Qingniu Sect. If I'm not mistaken, you are also a disciple of the Qingniu Sect. I don't have many enemies, and it seems that I don't have any enemies except Zhang Jiutai."

The man in black took off his disguise. Now that his identity had been discovered, what else was there to hide? He said, "Zhao Shanhe, you're very smart. You actually guessed my identity. But it's a pity you're a bit stupid. Instead of talking, you might as well run away. If you can escape to Qingniufang Market, you still have a chance to survive."

"Zhang Jiutai, as the saying goes, it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. The one who truly offended you is Tan Tai Ming Zhu. I can help you lure him out. What do you think?"

"Zhao Shanhe, there's no point in stalling for time, lest the night be long and full of dreams. Prepare to die. Live a decent life in your next life. Don't let a toad dream of eating swan flesh. Golden Arrow Technique."

As soon as Zhang Jiutai finished speaking, a golden arrow flew towards Zhao Shanhe. Suddenly, a firebird appeared out of thin air in the sky, shattered the golden arrow, and rushed towards Zhang Jiutai, knocking him to the ground. His life or death was in danger.

A violent coughing sounded. Zhang Jiutai sat up, clutching his chest. He exclaimed, "Firebird Technique! How is this possible? How can a person with five elements spiritual roots like you possess a mastery-level technique?"

"Nothing is impossible in this world. Be a good person in your next life."

"Wait a minute, Zhao Shanhe, you don't want to know who sent me."

Zhao Shanhe asked curiously, "Who sent you?"

Zhang Jiutai said weakly: "Yes..."

Zhao Shanhe couldn't hear clearly, so he walked over to him and asked, "Who is it?"

A flying sword suddenly flew out and pierced Zhao Shanhe's chest. Zhang Jiutai jumped up from the ground and said, "Zhao Shanhe, you are so stupid. Don't you know that there are defensive talismans? Remember not to trust people so easily in your next life."

Zhao Shanhe slapped the hilt off his chest. A hole was torn in his clothes, but not even a scratch was made on Ruyu's chest. The flying sword had shattered into pieces. He couldn't help but sigh, "The human heart is unpredictable. Thanks for reminding me. I already have the answer in my mind."

Zhang Jiutai's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "This is impossible. How can you ignore the mid-grade flying sword?"

"If I were to be injured by a mere mid-grade magical weapon, all my training in bodybuilding would be in vain. Those dozens of blazing sheep would be crying. Rest in peace."

Zhang Jiutai panicked and said, "Zhao Shanhe, my brother-in-law is Tantai Yulin, you can't kill me."

"Tantai Yulin, I'm really scared! Bang! Ugh."

Zhao Shanhe was killing someone for the first time, and he couldn't help but vomit. He muttered to himself, "Killing someone is really different from killing a spirit beast. If I had known, I wouldn't have smacked him to death. The blood on the ground would have been a hassle to clean up."

Zhang Jiutai's headless body lay in a pool of blood. He could never fathom how a human body could be so impervious to flying swords. Zhao Shanhe searched the corpse and then gave it a free cremation, which he couldn't help but complain about.

"He came out to rob people and said he would take more money with him. He's an inner sect disciple, and he's really miserable."

Zhao Shanhe had just finished handling the scene when a figure appeared behind him. He made preparations to flee. This person was definitely a master. When he saw who it was, he said in surprise, "Auntie, why are you here?"

The person who came was Yang Xiaochan. She said, "Shanhe, how can I feel at ease if you go out alone? If I hadn't met my senior sister on the way, I would have come here a long time ago. Are you okay?"

"Aunt, I'm fine. There's just a hole in my clothes, I'm not hurt at all. If you don't believe me, just look."

Zhao Shanhe was afraid that Yang Xiaochan would not believe him, so he took off his shirt for her to check. His jade-like body was indeed not injured.

Yang Xiaochan said angrily, "You're already so old, yet you're still shirtless and acting so rashly. The inner disciples' badges can record everything that happens within a quarter of an hour within a ten-meter radius after death. Remember to clean it up in the future."

"Aunt, aren't you afraid that you won't let me go home? I will pay attention in the future. Don't worry, I can take care of myself. If you are worried, you can go home with me."

"I won't go back with you this time. Be careful on your way, stay safe, and don't stay in the secular world for too long."

"Aunt, I remember."
