Chapter 116: I Trust You
By the pond, the dragon and the dog had battled once.
Now the two beasts were in a ceasefire, both sensing that their opponent was quite formidable.
Although it was a water fight, the earth dog seemed to be skilled in water and was not greatly outmatched, making the young True Dragon question its own abilities.
It recalled what its father had told it: as a strong True Spirit, how could it not handle a mere dog?
This thought filled the young True Dragon with curiosity.
Meanwhile, Little Black had its own thoughts.
This long creature seemed quite powerful, not much weaker than itself. If they could team up, once they grew stronger, they could each claim a part of this territory, right?
At worst, it could split the territory with this long creature.
The two beasts looked at each other with goodwill, then approached to sniff each other, their bodies moving and tails wagging, creating a very harmonious scene.
After a round of communication, the two established the purpose of their meeting and recorded the important points, unifying their strategic thoughts.
Just as the two beasts were enjoying their conversation, Ji Yang flew down from the peak.
The two beasts sensed him coming and immediately separated, both wearing expressions of resentment, unwilling to back down.
“Little Black, just in time! Let me introduce you!”
“This is Little White; the spiritual fields on the peak will rely on both of you from now on.”
“Plant well, and everyone will have something to eat!”
“If you don’t plant well, you’ll have to eat meat!”
Ji Yang looked at the two beasts and threatened them.
Little Black wagged its tail and nodded repeatedly.
Beside him, Little White seemed to yield under Ji Yang’s authority, finally nodding helplessly.
This surprised Ji Yang; he remembered that this young True Dragon was quite rebellious and should have been trained properly. Why did it suddenly seem so obedient?
Feeling that something was off between the two beasts, Ji Yang quietly activated the Breathing Technique of All Things and listened to their conversation.
Little Black: "A crouching dragon waits for the right time to act; those who are good at hiding win, while those who are good at showing off lose. Those who achieve great things do not plot in public; those who aim for big matters must keep them in their hearts!"
Little White: "Big brother makes a good point!"
Ji Yang was taken aback. These words sounded very wise!
But why were they coming out of a dog’s mouth?
He looked at Little Black, who was wearing a proud smile, the result of its studies while tending to the fields in the wooden house.
Now, saying this allowed it to easily establish itself as the big brother +1.
Silently listening to the rebellious exchange between the two beasts, Ji Yang felt secretly pleased.
It was just right; this saved him a lot of talking, and with Little Black leading, this True Dragon should be able to manage.
Those who achieve great things do not sweat the small stuff.
With that, he felt he didn’t need to be too polite.
“Little Black, you go plant the fields!
Little White, you water the spiritual fields!”
Ji Yang pointed at the dog and the dragon, assigning their tasks.
Then he flew back up to the peak to continue cultivating the spiritual fields.
Under the watch of the two beasts, the spiritual field at Jingtan Peak was quickly opened up.
At the top of Jingtan Peak were a few wooden houses.
Looking down from the wooden houses, several acres of spiritual fields appeared, interspersed with small pathways, resembling terraced fields.
Since Jingtan Peak was not flat, Ji Yang could only plant it this way.
However, the terrain posed no significant problem for cultivators because he could fly.
Ji Yang glanced at Little Black, who might have some trouble catching insects due to the unevenness.
But at that moment, Little Black was lost in dreams of what awaited after its endurance, clearly unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
Since it wasn’t his own work, Ji Yang didn’t dwell on it.
He then started scattering seeds of spiritual grains while Little Black helped dig holes, and Little White flew above, summoning rain to fall as dew.
This made Ji Yang’s task much easier.
Aside from the three acres of spiritual fields he cultivated previously, Ji Yang opened up another ten acres, directly covering a large part of Jingtan Peak.
Ji Yang wanted to continue cultivating down the peak, but considering he had not fully taken over Jingtan Peak yet, he decided to stop. He worried something might go wrong when Ye Wuchen returned.
Moreover, Jingtan Peak was one of the Twelve Peaks of the sect; filling the whole peak with crops could raise suspicions if others saw it.
Now that the planting was done on the peak, ordinary disciples would not notice. Although there were no formations covering Jingtan Peak, even elders and Peak Masters wouldn’t dare fly casually overhead.
Since he already had planting experience, Little Black handled it with ease, skillfully digging large holes with its claws to bury the seeds.
Though this was Little White’s first time, it only needed to activate its magical talent to summon rain, which was not difficult.
Under the diligent efforts of Ji Yang and the two beasts, the ten acres of spiritual fields were quickly planted.
Looking at the newly refreshed Jingtan Peak, Ji Yang felt a sense of satisfaction.
Without planting fields, how could one climb to the peak of the Dao?
Beside him, Little Black gazed at the significantly increased spiritual fields, a proud smile on its face, like a father.
Even Little White high above felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
Wait, what was it actually doing?
Little White looked on with some confusion.
This confusion quickly faded with Little Black’s call.
At this moment, the Huang Ting Dao Jing that Ji Yang was practicing began to operate automatically, steadily enhancing his primordial spirit energy.
This technique didn’t require active training; it could run automatically, truly wondrous, a fitting product of Golden Light Points.
After finishing planting all the spiritual fields, Ji Yang also planted the dozens of Mid-tier Spiritual Plant Seeds he had caught while fishing into the designated areas of the spiritual fields.
These spiritual plant seeds had various types, but whether they were for water or rocks, Ji Yang planted them all in the soil.
If they could grow, they would; if not, they must try to grow, and if all else failed, he could accelerate their growth using the Breathing Technique of All Things.
After all, these spiritual plants were merely for Ji Yang to gather some Blue Light Points; they served little purpose.
On the second day after planting the seeds of spiritual grains, the seedlings began to sprout.
Little Black looked at the fields filled with rice sprouts, falling into deep thought. At that moment, it finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
Turning to Ji Yang, Little Black found Ji Yang watching him with a friendly gaze.
This unexpected kindness made Little Black instinctively take a few steps back.
Ji Yang smiled and waved at Little Black:
“Come here, Little Black.”
“Little Black, I trust you the most. Tomorrow, I will go out, and I hope when I return, I will see these spiritual grains fully matured. What do you think?”
As Ji Yang spoke, he took out a Superior flying sword from his storage bag and began to sharpen it on a nearby stone stump.
