Trantor: 549690339
Qin Niu came to Wang Haikun’s fields with a basket of humus on his back, noticing that the sorghum and wheat were not growing well.
Even though it was a B-grade fertile field, the sorghum seedlings had yellowing leaves and thin stalks.
In some ces, there were just bare patches, where only weeds could be seen.
This man waszy and gluttonous, never putting much effort into farming or fertilizing, so it was no wonder the crops were poor.
Last year, Qin Niu didn’t farm well either, and ack of fertilization was a big part of the reason.
At five coins a basket, the cow dung wasn’t expensive, but back then he was intent on bing an Insect Master to change his fate, spending all his money on low-grade Contract Charms.
He simply had no money for fertilizer.
There was an old man working in the fields, but just by looking at hiszy manner of resting twice as long after working for just fifteen minutes, one could tell he was even more ‘outstanding’ than Wang Haikun.
This old man was Wang Yuzhu, a farmer from the vige. It was said that when he was born, the rain had just stopped, so his illiterate father named him
Yuzhu.
Because of ack of education, the character for ’stop,’ as in stopping rain, was mistaken for ‘pir.’
When someer tried to correct him, Wang Yuzhu’s father, concerned about saving face, insisted it was indeed ‘pir.’
And so, Wang Yuzhu lived his whole life with the wrong character in his name.
Speaking of Wang Yuzhu, he was not a bachelor; he was rted to Wang Haikun within three generations.
Wang Haikun called him uncle.
Wang Yuzhu wasn’t alwayszy—quite the contrary, he was known in the vige as a skilled nter. It was said he even passed the intermediate farmer’s assessment and evaluation at the official residence in ck Tiger City. But whenever someone asked why his que wasn’t updated, he would fall silent.
Many thought he was just bragging, but no one ever exposed him to his face.
That said, Wang Yuzhu did indeed leasend from the Yan Family and had bumper harvests year after year. Back then, Xu Zhenchang was still young, and the most famous tenant in the vige was Wang Yuzhu.
Heter married a rather attractive wife, first having a daughter, and two yearster, a son.
By all ounts, this should have been a very happy and fulfilling family.
However, Wang Yuzhu had a strong preference for sons over daughters, giving all the good food to his boy. When his son grew a bit older and argued with his sister, he would, without any questions, mercilessly beat his daughter.
As the children grew up, people heard that Wang Yuzhu married off his daughter when she was only thirteen to quickly secure a dowry for his son.
He didn’t hesitate in collecting the bride price from the groom’s family.
inly put, it was almost like selling his daughter.
Perhaps it’s true that as one sows, so shall one reap; not two years after marrying off his daughter, Wang Yuzhu’s son reportedly contracted a sexually transmitted disease.
This kind of disgraceful matter, Wang Yuzhu certainly tried to cover up.
But not long after, his son died.
Less than six months after the death of his son, his wife passed away in sorrow. After enduring the pain of losing his son and wife, Wang Yuzhu’s whole attitude changed.
Approaching fifty, he began to think of his daughter.
Because he needed someone to take care of him in his old age, right!
It was said that when he went to see his daughter, he wasn’t even allowed past the door.
In fact, after his wife died, his daughter never had any contact with him again.
Nowadays, he lived even more miserably than a bachelor.
Wang Haikun probably couldn’t find anyone else to work, so he hired this uncle. It wasn’t clear how much he paid him, but he did provide meals.
When it came to nting skills, Wang Yuzhu should have beenpetent.
After multiple setbacks and being in histe forties, with the only daughter he was still alive to him having cut off contact, he probably felt he had no purpose left in life. He had adopted a defeatist attitude, living each day as it came, workingzily as now, working for a second, resting for three.
“Uncle Yuzhu, this is the fertilizer Mr. Kun wanted; I’ve dumped it here!”
Qin Niu emptied a basket of humus from the mountains onto an empty spot in the field.
“Why dump it there? Just apply it directly under the crops!”
Wang Yuzhu grumbled.
He wanted Qin Niu to apply the fertilizer, then he could ck off.
Qin Niu pretended not to hear and turned around with the basket on his back to leave.
That is, he temporarily did not want to tear his face with Wang Haikun, waiting for his Termite to advance to Grade Three, then he would have the ability to go to the officials for Insect Master certification.
By then, not to mention Wang Haikun, even Wang Haikun’s brother would probably have to stand aside.
“Hey, think I’m finished and don’t take me seriously? I’ll make sure Haikun deals with you.”
Wang Yuzhu had be particrly sensitive, even a bit neurotic.
Qin Niu ignored him, which immediately made him feel greatly discriminated against.
To such people, Qin Niu’s attitude was to be toozy to bother with them.
He went back home by himself.
In the evening, when it was deep and quiet, he ate two pounds of bear meat before he started cultivating in the backyard.
The clump of foxtail grass by the well looked even more lush and robust.
He, wanting to verify whether the Evesting Spring Technique could help nts grow rapidly, specifically chose a spot where there were many weeds. As usual, he first applied the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood to the Treasured Sword.
After he was done, heid the sword in front of him, then closed his eyes to adjust his attitude, and began to cultivate.
Not until dawn, when the jade rabbit sank in the west, did Qin Niu open his bright, star-like eyes.
After a night of cultivation, his cultivation level had improved quite a bit.
Now, he was making steady progress of about 2 points each day.
He felt that the effect of ck Bear blood and bear meat on the increase of cultivation was not as good as that of the old wolf.
After he drank the Wolf Blood and finished the entire wolf, his cultivation rose by nearly twenty points. At that time, he had not yet practiced any Cultivation Technique, and he even gave arge hind leg to Wang Wanyan.
But consuming this ck Bear, the growth in cultivation was significantly slower.
He wondered if the higher your cultivation, the weaker the effect of ordinary blood food?
Stuck in a secluded valley with no teacher to guide him, he had to grope for many cultivation secrets by himself.
The first thing he did was check the weeds around him.
“Wow, it really is almost as I had guessed, cultivating the Evesting Spring Technique is beneficial to the growth of nts.”
Qin Niu found that with the spot where he sat as the center, the weeds around him had noticeably grown overnight. The closer the weeds were to him, the greater the benefits they received.
One meter away, there was basically no change.
Armed with this discovery, his mind suddenly became much more active.
Later on, he should be able to use the cultivation of Evesting Spring Technique to help important nts grow.
This additional effect must have great potential for exploration and improvement.
Its value could be huge beyond imagination.
Spending five silver money on the Evesting Spring Technique was like picking up a treasure.
As for being only an iplete copy, not suitable forbat, these were all unimportant. He wasn’t fond of fighting and killing in the first ce.
The Green Demon Bee Raising Manual was also like finding a huge bargain.
Once he got the location of Hundred Leaf Town’s ck Stone Vige, he could find the treasure ording to the map left by the Green Demon.
Whether it’s the Secret Technique for cultivating Green Demon Bees left by the Green Demon or some other treasure, he couldn’t know for now.
Qin Niu picked up the Treasured Sword thaty on the ground.
“My God… Why did all the grass under this sword wither?”
The weeds within a meter and a half radius around him had all grown a lot overnight, but the few weeds underneath the Treasured Sword had all withered.
Was this the influence of the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood, or had the Treasured Sword developed a special ability after being nourished for a few days?
He felt that the Treasured Sword probably had not developed a special ability so quickly.
Because ording to his understanding, it would take at least three to five years to possibly let the Treasured Sword undergo some changes..
