Chapter 51 - Immortal Fate Of Longevity: Starting From Taking Care of Fellow Daoist Wife

Chapter 51: Harvesting Ling Rice (Three More Chapters for Support) "Recently, you should pay more attention to your Ling fields. When the Ling rice is ready to be harvested, there might be people who will arrange for you to benefit without effort," Xiao Wan kindly reminded Xia Changge. Previously, no one came to cause trouble because those who came only destroyed the Ling rice. But now...when they matured, if some powerful families took some casually, it would be equivalent to taking Ling stones. A storage bag can now hold two acres of Ling rice. Some powerful families would arrange defensive formations for their Ling fields. However, the Xiao family was severely understaffed. The eldest sister needed to help Xiao Yun with important matters, the second sister was not capable, and the third sister was not skilled enough. They could only send more people to guard. Previously, there were no problems, but Xia Changge was handling his own area, so Xiao Wan reminded him. Xia Changge instantly became nervous. Could it be that he should bring his formations over or even arrange for his loved ones to go as well? He dismissed this idea. Bringing his whole family over would not be wise. "It would be better to bring Xia Tie over..." he thought. In his own home, Tan Qier was a Qi Refining stage cultivator at the sixth level and also had a formation. In addition, with Xiao Wan's care, there should not be any problems. For his industry here, he could only rely on Xia Tie and himself. His combat power was limited to this. Fortunately, Xia Changge's "sharp eyes" were much more terrifying in terms of perception of the outside world compared to Qi Refining stage cultivators. That was Xia Changge's advantage. In addition, Xia Changge could also refine some highly toxic substances. Even if the poison he currently refined could not kill Qi Refining stage cultivators, it would make them feel nauseous! Because it was his own industry, Xia Changge felt awkward about actively asking for reinforcements from Xiao Wan. This could be considered the first challenge he faced after establishing this small family. Xia Changge decided to face it himself. After a brief chat with Xiao Wan, Xia Changge left. "How interesting. What gives you such confidence?" Xiao Wan thought Xia Changge would ask for help because his strength was still slightly weak, and he would have trouble dealing with Qi Refining stage cultivators at level seven or eight. Never did she expect Xia Changge would not ask for her help? Was it excessive self-assurance, or did he have sufficient confidence? In the past few days, Xia Changge had been very diligent, preparing for the harvest. He asked Xu Baicha to pay more attention, and as soon as the Ling rice matured, he would start harvesting. A hundred acres would definitely take some time to handle. Xia Changge personally went down, which indeed increased the collection speed to one acre per quarter of an hour. However, this would consume a large amount of his spiritual energy. He definitely could not do that. During the period when the Ling rice was not yet mature, there naturally wouldn't be any problems, and it remained quite calm. On the first night of the harvest period. Xia Changge actually encountered someone who intended to steal. "Qi Refining stage at level seven... heh..." When Xia Changge saw that person, that person couldn't detect Xia Changge. Xia Changge didn't pay any attention to a Qi Refining stage at level seven cultivation. Because every Qi Refining stage level nine cultivator in Huaying Town was part of the Xiao family, it was impossible for these people to come. As for Qi Refining stage at level eight, there were only three non-Xiao family servants in Huaying Town. One of them was already dead, now turned into Xia Changge's puppet, lying dormant in the Ling rice field. The Qi Refining stage at level seven who came earlier was within Xia Changge's expectations, but it made Xia Changge temporarily relieved. "Since you're here, don't leave!" This thief had come to steal Xia Changge's hard work. Naturally, Xia Changge could not show any mercy. Xia Changge didn't act immediately. Because this person could help Xia Changge harvest the Ling rice for free, how could Xia Changge stop him? Cultivators were fast. In about a quarter of an hour, the storage bag in his hand was filled with unpeeled Ling rice. This person was really greedy. He prepared a total of eight storage bags! If he really managed to fill all the storage bags, he would have a net income of over a hundred pieces of Ling stones in one night! In order to reduce his own labor time, Xia Changge quietly watched this person's performance and even made Xia Tie silently retreat, leaving a three-acre area for this person to continue collecting. When they arrived at the Ling rice field that Xia Tie had set up in advance... "Ah!!" Just as this independent cultivator Yang Jue was swiftly harvesting, a miserable scream sounded. He couldn't have imagined that there was another cultivator hidden in the Ling rice field. How was this possible? His older brother had already said that there was only a Qi Refining stage at level six person guarding it. He had observed for a long time before he came, and that person was doing something with his female disciple. How could he silently come here? "Are you comfortable with my things?" Xia Changge's methods were extremely ruthless. He directly had Xia Tie cut off the thief's leg. Anyway, Xia Changge could reattach it. Hovering in the air with his flying sword, Xia Changge looked down at this thief. "Die!" Even though his leg was severed, this guy still chose to resist. Because he wanted revenge! Dozens of thin cotton needles flew out from Yang Jue's waist pouch. "Not bad, a set of organized low-grade spiritual devices. Do you have any more?" Xia Changge's current speed, moving a hundred meters in a breath, was an advantage of the Saint Heart Sutra's footwork technique. Having evaded, Xia Changge's eyes flickered with a bright light. What an unexpected gain! These spiritual devices were suitable for his younger sister Qier or his daughter Xia Yijiao. This was really an unexpected delight! Because this guy used hidden weapons, Xia Changge avoided being hit by him. So, Xia Changge had Xia Tie cut off his arm again. This sudden intense pain made Yang Jue faint. Yet, Xia Changge did not let his guard down. He followed the same method, severing his limbs. Now he enjoyed doing such things. "Harvest ten acres for me, and I'll thank you properly!" In half a day's time, the dozens of mortals under Xia Changge took nearly two hours to help him harvest less than thirty acres of Ling fields. For these ten acres, it would take Xia Changge himself two hours to finish. After all, it was not just about harvesting, but also removing the rice grains. Mortals were very slow. To express his gratitude to this independent cultivator who worked for him, Xia Changge decided to...restore him. Just not right now. He simply kept this last gasp from Yang Jue to prevent him from dying. He would have another Silver Armor Iron Guard under his command! Xia Changge thought about what happened tonight and decided not to tell the Xiao family. He just needed to finish harvesting his own fields calmly. During the day, Xia Changge personally entered the field, and finally, when the second night arrived, he handled everything. (The End of this Chapter)
