Super System in the Early Tang Dynasty

When Li Xingzhi returned home, the scaffolding in the backyard had already been set up.

The entire pavilion is made of wood. As long as the wood is ready, the building plans are available, and with Wang Xiucai's financial connections, it can be built quite quickly.

According to Wang Xiucai and his group's estimate, it would be completed in less than half a month.

Li Xingzhi returned to the courtyard and looked at the two carp. To his surprise, they were even more lively and agile, their red color more vibrant, and the gold on their tails had expanded, making them even more dazzling. In particular, those few seeds that he had casually tossed aside had actually sprouted, which surprised Li Xingzhi.

He took some breadcrumbs, teased the carp for a while, and then went back inside.

Upon arriving at the space, Li Xingzhi was delighted to see a thriving environment all around him. In particular, he noticed a small ring of life growing around the space, which, although expanding slowly, gave him some hope.

Li Xingzhi walked around the space and found that everything inside was growing very well. He simply tidied up the plants that were climbing freely and even built a small trellis for them.

Finally, he gathered some corn, chili peppers, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and other similar things, intending to breed them in this space and then take them outside to grow.

Breeding is a huge problem. Even for companies with advanced technology in later generations, it is a major headache. Some special species are even more difficult to cultivate, and they are all directly cultured as embryos.

However, with the divine artifact in hand, Li Xingzhi could give up everything else, including the world.

The next day, when he opened the door, the Li residence was already quite lively, with all sorts of people and things coming and going, which greatly annoyed Li Xingzhi.

Master Shi was also sorting through those ancient books. The group was almost going crazy. Although Scholar Wang was slightly better, he still had a huge Li family estate to manage, so he didn't have time to deal with anything else.

Li Xingzhi had an idea, so he simply took Erlang, called Dahuang, a few strong servants, hired a few craftsmen, and prepared to head to Wangjia Village in the north of the city in a grand procession.

Little Jin suddenly appeared out of nowhere and slid onto Erlang's shoulder, seemingly unable to bear the noise either.

Li Xingzhi simply brought along all the chicks and ducklings that hadn't been released yet, as well as the rather arrogant eagle that was kept in its cage. Only the pair of mynah birds were left in Erlang's room for Xiaolan to keep.

The group left the city as if they were moving house, attracting the attention of passersby.

When we arrived at Wangjia Village, the villagers had already gone to work in the fields. Only a few children were still playing and occasionally casting curious glances our way.

After moving to the new house, Li Xingzhi had several strong servants and craftsmen repair the house and the fallen fence, and build a chicken coop and a duck coop. He and Erlang then busied themselves in the house, tidying up and making the bed.

He plans to stay here for the next few dozen days, to experience the life of the working people in ancient times, which can be considered a rural homestay.

By the end of the day, all three rooms, plus the outhouse at the back, had been repaired. The kitchen was combined with the bedroom, separated by a door. The kitchen had a small cabinet where, besides bowls, spoons, chopsticks, oil, and salt, small odds and ends were stored. A thick hemp rope hung from the center, supporting a pot, and below that was a fire pit. For a small family, there was no need to build a large stove.

The day passed in a flurry of activity, and as the sun began to set, Li Xingzhi finally sent all the craftsmen and servants back home.

At this time, the villagers were still out in the fields, some women and children carrying small baskets to deliver food to their husbands. Their temporary new home, with just the two people and their dog, cast long shadows in the setting sun. The mischievous mouse, upon arriving, ran off to who-knows-where.

After a simple dinner, Li Xingzhi took Erlang and Dahuang out for a walk.

By this time, the villagers, carrying hoes and various farm tools, had all returned. Upon seeing Li Xingzhi, whether they knew him or not, they would all call out to him as they approached. In particular, many who recognized Erlang would come up and ask him a few questions. Before long, Li Xingzhi had gotten to know most of the villagers.

Back in the bedroom, apart from a large closet, all the space was occupied by two beds.

Seeing that Erlang had entered a meditative state, Li Xingzhi went into the main room, took the half-starved eagle, and untied its rope.

As soon as the rope was untied, the eagle seemed to gather all its strength and pecked at him with incredible speed. However, Li Xingzhi had already made great progress in his cultivation during this period. If he were to be injured by a sick eagle, he might as well just find a block of tofu and smash his head against it.

The eagle's energy seemed to have been completely drained by that one peck.

Just then, Li Xingzhi's hand shot out like lightning, and the eagle, unable to dodge, was grabbed by the head. Li Xingzhi stared directly into the eagle's bulging eyes, and the eagle's eyes, not to be outdone, stared back at Li Xingzhi.

Just then, Li Xingzhi circulated all his true energy, channeling it to several special meridians around his eyes. Instantly, Li Xingzhi's eyes shone brightly! But Eagle Eyes, amidst this burst of blue light, gradually lost its divine brilliance.

After a long while, Li Xingzhi finally calmed down his fluctuating internal energy.

After finishing his practice, Li Xingzhi's face was pale.

This is a beast-taming secret technique derived from strange arts such as soul-capturing techniques. He spent a lot of effort to find it in the system store. It is not much different from ordinary eagle-taming in terms of method. Both involve constantly instilling one's own will into the ferocious beast. However, this method is more direct, and the trained beasts have a more perfect cooperation.

As for his shortcomings, just look at Li Xingzhi's current appearance. This is even though he has three or four times more mental strength than the average adult!

He ignored the eagle that was still stunned, drank a few mouthfuls of spiritual spring water to wake himself up, fought off his drowsiness, and began to meditate.

He didn't know how long he had been in meditation. When Li Xingzhi woke up, he ignored everything else, took the eagle, and left the space.

As soon as he stepped out of the space, the chill of early morning air penetrated his body, making Li Xingzhi even more alert.

As he walked back to his bedroom, he heard a series of rooster crows outside, indicating that Erlang had woken up.

The two of them began their morning exercises in the courtyard, facing the first ray of light breaking through the darkness and the distant, misty mountains.

After a quick breakfast, I released the chicks, ducklings, and goslings, scattering a pile of tender grass that I had picked from my space.

The chickens, ducks, and geese were starving, and they all sprouted wings and jumped out.

With the grass and spiritual spring water that Li Xingzhi picked from his space every day, they were all very clever and none of them got sick.

Li Xingzhi ignored them. Anyway, with the fence around them, he wasn't worried about them escaping. He would let them out once they were more tame.

He led Erlang into the main room.

Inside were piles of chili peppers, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn seedlings that Li Xingzhi had brought out from his spatial dimension. Of course, there was also an eagle that had regained its former vigor.

This eagle drank several stomachfuls of spatial water while Li Xingzhi was meditating.

"Ah—" Erlang was startled when he saw an eagle standing in the middle staring straight at him.

Li Xingzhi took Erlang's hand and let him pet the eagle, hoping to get acquainted with it. This eagle, however, wasn't as understanding as the other pets bought from the system.

He fed the eagle some meat strips and then released it.

He carried a large basket of seedlings and a hoe, walking towards his own field.

The other farmers, unlike Li Xingzhi, weren't lazy and were already busy in the fields. Seeing Li Xingzhi, with his delicate skin and carrying so much stuff, they all looked over with curiosity, greeting him loudly as they approached. Li Xingzhi felt the farmers' simplicity and warmth, and he warmly greeted them in return.

After walking for a short while, we arrived at the river valley.

At this moment, the old clan chief and another old man were sitting to the side eating wild fruits they had picked from who-knows-where, while several strong men were busy in the field.

Upon seeing Li Xingzhi approach, the two old men came over.

Li Xingzhi also met another old man, the owner of the land near the valley entrance, named Wang Ermazi. Of course, Erlang had to respectfully address him as "Second Uncle," and Li Xingzhi used Erlang's way of addressing him, calling him "Second Uncle" to make it seem more intimate. With Erlang's connection, this way of addressing him couldn't be considered randomly recognizing a relative.

When the two old men saw Li Xingzhi carrying a large basket filled with unfamiliar things, they asked curiously, "Li Dalang, what are these? I don't recognize any of them."

Li Xingzhi pointed to the items and explained them to the two old men one by one, but they just shook their heads; they had no interest in these novel things.

Seeing this, Li Xingzhi didn't say much, and with Erlang, he began to dig holes and plant seedlings.

————————————————————————————

I'm clumsy today, and I only managed to write this much in three hours!

It's late again. I'll make it up to you by updating more the day after tomorrow. I have a lot of classes tomorrow, so I can't update if I really can't.

I was almost mistaken for a thief at school today. I called the dorm manager, who said they couldn't find the person, but then...

After all that's happened, I'm not in the mood to write anymore.
