The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

After calming his indescribable shock, Jin Chenyuan asked in a tight voice, "Ah Li, is this the 'hidden universe in a sleeve' I've heard about before?"

"A universe hidden in a sleeve?" I've heard of that before.

However, this wasn't a hidden space in her sleeve; these steaming hot, freshly cooked dishes were actually stored in her personal space.

Time is frozen in her space. The reason she bound her soul to this space was not only because of its large size, but also because time is frozen within it. She could store many things inside without fear of them decaying over time.

However, she had no intention of revealing her spatial ability. She took off the pouch-like storage bag hanging from her waist and said, "I've never seen a hidden space in a sleeve. I use a storage bag. These things were all put in the storage bag just now."

"How can such a small thing, which looks like a purse, hold so many things?" Shao Qi took the storage bag from Yue Li's hand, turned it over and examined it closely, but he couldn't see anything special about it.

Jin Chenyuan also took the storage bag and examined it from head to toe. Touching it, he felt that it didn't feel like cloth and confirmed, "This storage bag doesn't seem to be made of ordinary cloth."

"Of course, ordinary fabrics can't be used to make storage bags."

Storage bags are specially crafted by weapon refiners using special materials. The spaces inside vary in size. Although in the cultivation world, a storage bag the size of a basketball court, like the one she carries, isn't worth many spirit stones, since arriving in this world, Yue Li instantly felt that the dozens of storage bags she had stored in her space for emergencies were incredibly prescient.

Of course, the storage bag that Yue Li used had the largest space among all of these.

The two looked at it for a while, but couldn't figure out what was special about the storage bag. Moreover, because neither of them had spiritual power, they couldn't open the storage bag.

The storage bag was returned to Yue Li's hands, and the three of them began to eat.

However, during the meal, Jin Chenyuan and Shao Qi frequently lost focus, clearly indicating that their minds were not on the food.

Yue Li was quite understanding of their situation.

If she were a native of this world, and suddenly heard about something like spatial storage, she would definitely yearn for it for a long time.

After the meal, Yue Li put everything back into her spatial storage. The bowls and plates she had used were still untouched on the round table.

Yue Li didn't plan to waste time washing these things now. She would just take them out and have the people below do it after returning to the manor this afternoon.

Despite their strong objections, Yue Li did not go with them to the orchard to pick fruit. Instead, she took out a bamboo basket with a pattern that she had bought in Qingshan Village when she found it novel and gave it to the two of them to use while picking fruit.

She, however, wandered around the entire valley.

If fruit trees from different regions can grow together in this valley, then this valley must be unique.

Closing her eyes and emptying her mind, Yue Li sensed the spiritual energy in the air. Sure enough, the temperature here was not only very suitable for the growth of these fruit trees, but the spiritual energy was also much richer than the place she had found last time.

Could there still be inferior spiritual veins remaining beneath this valley?

Otherwise, how could it be explained that the spiritual energy in this valley is more concentrated than that outside?

However, the spiritual energy produced by a lower-grade spiritual vein should be even more concentrated than this.

Then it should be a spiritual vein that is one level below the lowest level.

Since it was a spiritual vein even lower than a low-grade one, Yue Li had no interest in taking it.

After all, even if such a spiritual vein were dug out, it could not be mined into spirit stones; instead, it would damage the environment within the spiritual vein.

Wouldn't that be a losing proposition?

Feeling the various colors of spiritual energy floating in the air, Yue Li wanted to sit down and cultivate immediately.

However, Yue Li still had some ideas at this time, and she could put them into practice as soon as she had explored the valley.

Walking along the edge of the valley, stepping on the soft grass, we passed through a field of blooming flowers, then through an orchard, and at the end of the orchard, we found a crystal-clear stream.

A stream runs across the end of the orchard, nestled against the cliff.

Yue Li followed the stream to its end and discovered that the stream flowed out from a crevice in the cliff.

Yue Li leaped up the cliff face and carefully examined the crevice.

The narrow, elongated slit prevented Yue Li from seeing the outside world, but the area below the slit had become incredibly smooth due to the constant erosion of the stream over the years.

The stream water flows gently down the cliff face into this creek.

Seeing that she had found nothing, Yue Li flew back to her original spot.

Looking around, he saw that the trees and grass in the valley were growing very lushly. He then walked to the medicinal herb field where Shao Qi had just cleared the weeds.

Actually, Shao Qi hadn't cleared much of the weeds from this medicinal herb field just now.

After all, the weeds have been growing for a long time, and they are not only taller than the medicinal herbs in the herb field, but they also cannot be easily pulled out by hand, especially the roots, which require tools.

After thinking about it, Yue Li still didn't take out the set of tools she had bought in her space when she was cultivating immortality, which was specifically for planting spiritual herbs and plants.

Let them prepare these things that are readily available in this era themselves.

Yue Li arrived at a grassy clearing next to the herb field, channeled her spiritual power, and thinly turned over a plot of land four meters wide and five meters long.

The soil was turned up to a depth of about ten centimeters. Then, using his spiritual power, he swept the grass in the soil over and rolled it onto the open ground next to him, piling it into a haystack.

Looking at the clean, turned soil, Yue Li squatted down and touched the soil to check its moisture level. It felt just right.

He took out a dozen or so seeds of Qingling Flower and Juling Grass from his spatial storage, and with a flick of his wrist, the two different kinds of seeds split into two groups and were evenly scattered on the already turned soil.

Yue Li once again channeled her spiritual power to turn over the soil, covering the seeds with a thin layer of soil.

Then, his fingers flew as he performed the Spirit Rain Technique. As the hand seals became more and more complex, water droplets of sparse spiritual energy in the air gradually condensed. When his fingers stopped, a dense cluster of water droplets had gathered in mid-air. With a wave of his hand, these water droplets fell onto the land where the seeds had been planted, increasing the humidity of the land and nourishing the spiritual seeds planted in the soil.

Feeling it wasn't enough, Yue Li took out her jade bowl containing spiritual spring water, poured out some of the water, and let it float in mid-air. She then put the bowl back into her space. Yue Li raised her hand again, her fingers flying as she unleashed the Spirit Rain Technique. Gradually, the water droplets condensed by the Spirit Rain Technique mixed with the spiritual spring water. She then raised her hand again and sprinkled these water droplets into the turned soil.

Planting these spiritual plants is very energy-intensive, especially before they sprout from the soil. Moreover, the soil here doesn't have enough spiritual energy to nourish the seeds of these plants. Since the soil doesn't have enough, it needs to be added artificially.

As the spiritual spring water was poured in, the spiritual plant seeds buried in the soil broke through the soil and sprouted tender little buds.

But that's all.

Even so, Yue Li was already quite satisfied.

Now it's up to them to do it themselves.

However, given the even richer spiritual energy in this valley compared to the outside, these spiritual plants should grow quite well.
