The Celestial Race of Destiny: Starting with Farming and Fish Raising

Because the couple needed to concentrate their resources to break through the Qi Refining stage and become cultivators, although Little Grey contributed greatly in the process of killing the Mud Boar King, it did not get much meat from the Mud Boar King.

Su Qingyan explained the situation to Little Grey.

After hearing this, Little Grey seemed a little down, but didn't show any obvious resistance.

After being comforted and guided by Su Qingyan, Little Grey now considers himself a member of the Su family.

Three months passed just like that.

Around midnight that day, the occasional chirping of insects echoed through the woods, while the excited conversation between Su Qingyan and his wife inside the cabin was intermittent but remarkably clear in the quiet night.

Just now, the couple both became cultivators, breaking through to the first level of Qi Refining.

"Fortunately, the meat of this Mud-Armored Wild Boar King spoils very slowly, and the spiritual energy particles inside hardly disappear. If it were like ordinary meat, it would rot in a few days, and my husband and I really wouldn't have been able to break through to the first level of Qi Refining so quickly." Su Qingyan said, looking at the huge skeleton of the Mud-Armored Wild Boar King hanging on the wall, its skin and flesh completely removed, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

Zhang Hui laughed and chimed in, "Who says otherwise?"

"If it weren't for this Mud Boar King, none of the two Crimson Blood Yang Ginsengs we cultivated in the past three months, or the half Crimson Blood Yang Ginseng that was left over, would have survived."

"Now that we've become cultivators, shouldn't we find a chance to visit Jin Su Shan Market?"

"These two huge tusks on the Mud Armor Boar King should be enough to have a weapon refiner forge a very good set of low-grade first-tier magic weapons."

Magical artifacts are weapons used by cultivators. They have all sorts of magical functions and are much more powerful than ordinary weapons.

Upon hearing his wife's suggestion, Su Qingyan thought for a moment and said prudently, "We do need to go to Jin Su Shan Market, but we'll have to wait a little while."

"The cultivation technique we practice, 'Evergreen Spirit Wood Technique,' comes with two spells: one is an offensive wooden arrow technique, and the other is a defensive rattan armor technique."

"Although my husband and I have both become cultivators, I still feel uneasy without some cultivation techniques at my disposal."

"For the next period of time, my husband and I will focus on mastering these two spells. Once we have mastered them, we will head to Jin Su Mountain Market to exchange them for some Chi Yang Pills."

"Then use the two tusks of the Mud Armored Boar King to find a weapon refiner to forge a magical artifact."

"I'll do whatever you say, my husband," Zhang Hui gently echoed, resting her head on Su Qingyan's shoulder. After a moment, she continued, "We've been cultivating here for a long time, and Xian'er has asked Granny Zhang to stay at home. It's very inconvenient for her to have to travel back and forth every time she wants to see her son."

"My lord, what do you think? Should we build a house here and move all the servants and belongings to this woodland?"

Su Qingyan smiled and nodded, replying, "I've been thinking about this recently too."

"Now that I've broken through to the Qi Refining stage, it's a good time to put this into practice."

"My dear wife, have you noticed a problem?"

"The spiritual energy in our woodland is getting richer and richer, increasing every day. Although the increase is not large, we can still feel it every few days."

"I originally thought this spiritual energy was brought over by the black mist and miasma."

"After the black mist and miasma dissipated, the spiritual energy remained. But upon closer reflection, I realized something was amiss."

"If the spiritual energy came from the black mist and miasma, it's impossible that the concentration of spiritual energy in the forest would continue to increase after more than half a year."

"So I suspect that after the black mist appeared, some changes occurred in our forest, and it may even have given birth to a treasure that can gather spiritual energy."

Zhang Hui also cultivated the "Evergreen Spirit Wood Technique," so she could naturally sense changes in the concentration of spiritual energy. Now that she had broken through to the Qi Refining stage, these changes were even more obvious and intuitive.

However, he had been focused on cultivation and nurturing the red ginseng during this period and hadn't paid much attention to this. Now, after Su Qingyan reminded him, he suddenly remembered many things he had overlooked before.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "My husband, what you said reminds me of a detail related to Little Grey."

"Every day at dawn, Little Grey would come to find you, my husband, but after dark, when we were cultivating in the wooden house, Little Grey would disappear without a trace."

"I've observed it a few times, and it doesn't rest or meditate near our cabin, nor does it have any nests or anything like that around the woods."

"Over the past three months, Little Grey has shown a steady increase in strength, which is quite rapid. Besides consuming the flesh of the Mud Armored Wild Boar King, there may be other opportunities involved."

"So based on the information you gave me, my husband, and considering that Little Grey is a spirit beast, its natural perception of spiritual energy is much more acute than that of us human cultivators, if there is a source in our forest that gathers or increases spiritual energy, then the concentration of spiritual energy at that source must be even higher."

"My husband and I might not be able to sense the subtle differences in spiritual energy concentration, but Little Grey can. I suspect that Little Grey must be cultivating at the source of the highest concentration of spiritual energy every night."

"My wife is right," Su Qingyan agreed, and continued, "In that case, what appeared in the forest shouldn't be the kind of treasure that can be swallowed, otherwise Little Grey would have eaten it in one bite, and the concentration of spiritual energy wouldn't have continued to increase."

After saying that, Su Qingyan changed the subject and jokingly scolded, "That little gray fox, with such good resources, he chooses to hoard them all!"

"It seems he still remembers that we gave it less meat than the Mud-armored Wild Boar King."

"Although this guy is simple-minded, he is indeed rather petty."

"When it gets light tomorrow, I need to criticize it, do some ideological work on it, and also find the source of the increased spiritual energy concentration to see what's going on."

Hearing her husband's words, Zhang Hui chimed in to defend Little Grey, saying, "It's really not Little Grey's fault."

"We've put in so much effort, but we haven't even gotten to eat much of the Mud Armored Wild Boar King's meat. We've only made empty promises to them, without giving them any real compensation."

"You'd be upset too, let alone Little Grey, who's a stubborn spirit beast."

"Then I'm really sulking!" As he spoke, Su Qingyan suddenly turned his head and stared straight at his wife's face, his eyes burning with a fiery intensity.

For the past six months, initially Zhang Hui had just given birth and needed to recover, and then the two of them were focused on how to become cultivators, so the couple did not have sex for such a long time.

Upon seeing his wife Zhang Hui's radiant face, Su Qingyan felt a surge of heat rising in his lower abdomen, transforming into a raging inferno that he could not suppress.

"What are you sulking about now?" Zhang Hui was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

The next second, Su Qingyan swept her up in his arms like a princess, and before she could react, she was on the bed. When she looked up, her husband pounced on her like a hungry wolf.

"Our Su family is so small, and you, as the lady of the Su family, don't care at all."

"I'm definitely going to sulk."

"You're annoying."

"How could I not care? I just gave birth to Xian'er."

"You just don't care."

"I'll teach you a lesson today and show you who's in charge of this house!"

"Quick, call him Dad!"
