Chapter 168: Minor Flaw
By the third day, the general layout of Jingtan Peak had already taken shape.
From the base of Jingtan Peak to the top, there were staggered, well-defined terraced fields, each spiritual field interwoven, with a narrow path left for one person to walk through.
This path was not only used for moving among the fields but also served as the only route from the base to the summit of the peak.
Of course, this path was mainly meant for Little Black.
Ji Yang could fly and didn’t need it.
At the top of the terraces was the summit of Jingtan Peak, where the terrain was relatively flat, allowing for a more symmetrical layout of the spiritual fields.
Although the spiritual fields had been opened, Ji Yang hadn’t had the chance to plant seeds yet, so the area from the top of the peak down remained barren.
Seeing that the spiritual fields had been opened, Ji Yang no longer hesitated and took the seeds out from the Heaven’s Secret Pearl.
Since he needed to do it himself, he couldn’t rely on the hands of the Battle Soldiers this time.
Walking along the small path between the peaks, Ji Yang carried a hoe as he strolled in the morning sunlight.
The morning sun cast mottled shadows, highlighting Ji Yang’s figure in the fields.
Behind him, a Golden Valiant Warrior, about ten feet tall, stared intently at Ji Yang’s back as he carried the hoe, its expression odd.
With such talent, why wasn’t he practicing properly and instead indulging in these trivial matters?
He truly couldn’t comprehend it.
At this moment, the middle-aged man wished he could take Ji Yang’s body for his own use, but realizing he wasn’t a match for Ji Yang right now, he could only helplessly give up.
Behind the Golden Valiant Warrior, a large yellow dog followed closely.
Little Black looked at the Golden Valiant Warrior in front of him with a hint of disdain.
A few days ago, after catching some spiritual insects, he had seen a Battle Soldier transform into seeds of spiritual grains right before his eyes.
At that moment, he had happily bitten down, only to find the taste hard to swallow; there was no spiritual energy at all, and compared to that, the usual spiritual insects tasted much better.
Feeling the gaze from behind, the Golden Valiant Warrior turned to Little Black and said:
“Qilin Bloodline may have some shortcomings, but it is still a rare talent. How about you become my steed in the future? I will ensure you live a worry-free life!”
Hearing this, Little Black shot a contemptuous glance at the middle-aged man.
Then, wagging his tail, he strutted towards Ji Yang.
The fish in the pond had long been eaten, and this batch of spiritual grains hadn’t been harvested yet, so he had to ingratiate himself with Ji Yang. He knew Ji Yang had plenty of spiritual grains, especially the golden ones, which tasted the best.
Seeing Little Black ignoring him, the middle-aged man sighed again.
What a waste! This beast could be properly trained and would eventually advance to True Spirits, with a bright future, but here it was used for catching insects!
Sigh!
At that moment, a flash of gold leaped into the sky over the pond below, swirling as dark clouds gathered, and countless raindrops fell on the peak.
The middle-aged man shook his head, giving up.
Even the True Dragon was watering, and he had nothing to say.
He Dao Sect?
The middle-aged man’s eyes reflected memories as he tried to recall information about this sect from ancient times.
However, with the passage of time, even the mightiest sects could be replaced; he couldn’t remember much.
Meanwhile, below the peak, Ji Yang had already begun to swing the hoe in his hand.
Because he had to plant a large number of seeds, and his goal was to obtain White Light Points, he didn’t care which type of seeds of spiritual grains he was planting.
Any of the three types would do.
Looking at the vast spiritual field before him, Ji Yang decided to get things done today.
With his strong physique, Ji Yang found this bit of work quite easy.
At that moment, Little Black was still behind Ji Yang, wagging his tail and looking at the spiritual grains buried in the soil.
Seeing Little Black still immersed in the spiritual grains, clearly unaware of what days lay ahead, Ji Yang didn’t hold back and tossed a handful of spiritual grains out.
Although he had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, he still hadn’t removed the weaknesses from the spiritual grains this time.
The only remaining weakness was the spiritual insects, and no matter how much he improved them, their essence couldn’t be raised.
After raising Little Black for so long, wasn’t this the time to use him?
Though there were slightly more spiritual fields now, Ji Yang believed Little Black would manage just fine.
Besides, in the past few days, he had noticed that Little Black could even take lazy naps in the spiritual fields, clearly indicating that the current workload was still not enough!
As for Little White in the pond, she had an even easier time; she would usually make it rain once in the morning and again in the evening, while spending the rest of her time sleeping in the pond.
This was not beneficial for the development of Jingtan Peak, so Ji Yang decided to change the plan to rain three times a day, even though the range became a bit larger.
But Little White was a True Spirit with great talent, so it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
Ji Yang stopped thinking too much and continued to swing the iron pick in his hand, one strike after another.
Time passed unconsciously as Ji Yang worked hard.
From the morning sun to the noon sun, and then to the evening glow.
In the evening light, Ji Yang still performed the same skilled actions: digging fields and planting seeds.
The Golden Valiant Warrior at the peak paused, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Perhaps there was another reason for his earlier mining; after all, the Xuan Iron Mine itself was a high-end material for crafting tools.
Yet, even during the ordinary task of digging fields, he saw no sign of annoyance or impatience in Ji Yang.
With such a temperament, if he could cultivate properly, he might have a chance to ascend the path of greatness.
Reflecting on his past self, although he was diligent, his talent was too lacking.
Now, in front of him stood someone who was both hardworking and gifted; he couldn’t help but want to guide Ji Yang back onto the right path! He couldn’t bear to see Ji Yang fall so low.
Of course, the first plan was still to seize the physical body.
But wasn’t he currently unable to win?
Then it was better to take a step back.
In a few years, he could break free from the mirror, and by then, he should be looking for his own way out.
He was destined for greatness, no weaker than anyone else!
…
“Phew!”
“Finally done!”
With stars dotting the sky and the bright moon overhead, Ji Yang put away his hoe and stood at one side of Jingtan Peak, looking out at the current state of the entire peak.
Seeing the spiritual grains planted across Jingtan Peak, Ji Yang felt a strong sense of satisfaction.
His hard work during the entire day was not in vain.
Now he just needed to wait quietly for these seeds of spiritual grains to sprout and grow. Tomorrow, he could return to the sect and enter the mining site for rigorous training!
Dual-track development, I deserve it.
The more Ji Yang thought about it, the more satisfied he felt!
While lost in thought, Ji Yang’s mana flowed in his hand, and a dark cloud slowly rose into the sky.
The clouds gathered, and in an instant, heavy rain poured down.
“Woof, woof, woof!”
At that moment, in the several acres of spiritual fields planted with spiritual grains, Little Black cried out and jumped out of the field, as the raindrops carried sharp sword intent, pricking at him painfully.
Using the same Large Cloud Rain Technique, Ji Yang could control the Golden Insect Technique with Thousands of Sword Energies within a certain range, while allowing normal rain to fall on the other spiritual fields.
Having reached the Nascent Soul Stage, Ji Yang’s understanding of spells had improved significantly.
Looking at the rain-soaked Jingtan Peak, Ji Yang nodded again.
But when Ji Yang noticed the few wooden houses at the peak, he shook his head slightly and muttered,
“What a minor flaw!”
“These wooden houses are too much of a hindrance. They don’t just look bad, but they also take up a considerable amount of land. If only they could be torn down!”
