Enlightenment: Attaining the Dao at Age 8

Cangxuan City seemed to change from one day to the next. Even though Su Ruobing visited frequently, she was still met with new and pleasant surprises every time.

To avoid drawing attention, the two factories did not operate during the day.

The workers all did their jobs at night.

But even so, in just a few days, the factory’s production lines had undergone a tremendous transformation.

Stacks of metal cannon barrels were piled up inside the factory.

The most precise and complex electronic components had already completed their initial production and assembly.

At the current estimated production capacity, it would take about half a year to fulfill the entire batch of military weapon orders from Linjiang.

Su Ruobing was very satisfied with this.

After all, her interests were now deeply intertwined with Li Chang’an’s. Their relationship was less that of a superior and subordinate and more like a partnership.

Su Ruobing was naturally delighted that Li Chang’an’s city and factories were developing so quickly.

After inspecting the production lines, Li Chang’an took Su Ruobing to the area where Cangxuan City had established its Spiritual Fields.

Nearly three months had passed since Li Chang’an hired a hundred skilled workers to plant and tend to the Spiritual Fields.

It could be said that Su Ruobing’s timing was perfect.

The first batch of planted Spiritual Food was just beginning to ripen.

Li Chang’an picked a few watermelons and several dozen pounds of grapes, planning to hold a feast back at the City Lord’s Mansion to satisfy his cravings. After all, the last time he’d tasted fruit from an Upper-Grade Spiritual Field was when Su Ruobing had given him some.

Now, his own Spiritual Fields had finally reached their harvest season.

He naturally had to savor the joy of a bountiful harvest.

Su Ruobing bent down and scooped up a handful of earth. When she saw that the soil used to grow the fruits and vegetables was warm, moist, black earth suffused with Spiritual Power, she couldn’t help but gasp.

She stood on her tiptoes to get a better view. Gazing at the vast, verdant expanse of Spiritual Fields, she couldn’t help but ask, “How many of these are Upper-Grade Spiritual Fields? From where I’m standing, they all look like it.”

She thought her eyes were playing tricks on her and wanted to confirm the facts.

To her surprise, Li Chang’an also scanned the area before nodding. “It seems this area is indeed all Upper-Grade Spiritual Fields,” he said. “The medium- and Lower-Grade Spiritual Fields are in a few other locations!”

Su Ruobing was speechless.

Honestly, seeing such a vast expanse of Upper-Grade Spiritual Fields left Su Ruobing completely stunned into silence. Her composure was shattered.

When Li Chang’an had first become a Reincarnator, he’d known nothing about Spiritual Fields or Spiritual Food. Back then, she could still use these things as leverage to win him over.

And yet now, the Upper-Grade Spiritual Fields in her own territory—the capital of Linjiang Prefecture—had only just reached this size.

Even then, many of them had been secretly brought from her family home; it was one of the few perks she’d received from her clan.

And now, the scale of Li Chang’an’s Upper-Grade Spiritual Fields was already on par with hers…

His speed of resource accumulation was simply inhuman, as if he were using a cheat code.

’How long has Li Chang’an been a Reincarnator? Not even a year, right?’

’Where did he get so many Spiritual Fields?’

’His rapid growth in power is one thing, but to even have Upper-Grade Spiritual Fields on this scale… Did this guy really just go on a looting spree in a Rebirth World?’

A torrent of thoughts flooded Su Ruobing’s mind, but in the end, she didn’t voice any of her questions.

After all, everyone has their secrets.

People could only get along if they maintained a comfortable distance from one another.

Since Li Chang’an hadn’t brought the subject up himself, she restrained herself from asking, despite her intense curiosity.

As she stood there in a daze, Li Chang’an had already used his communicator to summon the siblings, Li Jianfei and Li Siying, to act as helping hands.

He had invited Su Ruobing here today not just to check on the factory’s progress and enjoy the autumn harvest, but also to take care of a side matter.

He needed Su Ruobing to help arrange a territory for Li Jianfei to govern.

Unlike the other students, Li Jianfei had become a Reincarnator through a special, temporary reincarnation permit.

Of course, as long as someone successfully awakened a Rebirth Mark, the Reincarnator Association would essentially treat them the same, regardless of how they did it.

Now that Li Jianfei had awakened his Rebirth Mark, the standard procedure required him to submit a formal written letter to the Linjiang Reincarnator Association.

The Association would then conduct a detailed verification. Only after they confirmed he was without a doubt a Permanent Reincarnator would they initiate the territory allocation process.

But, well, it was a government agency…

If he really had to go through the official channels, getting it done in ten days to two weeks would be considered fast.

With bad luck, a delay of one or two months wouldn’t be unusual.

Li Chang’an wasn’t about to let Li Jianfei waste so much time on something so pointless.

So, he decided to ask Su Ruobing to pull some strings. After all, he’d worked hard to get on good terms with his direct superior; wouldn’t it be a waste not to take advantage of it?

When he saw Su Ruobing, Li Jianfei was clearly flustered, stammering, “Chang’an… Chairman… Chairman Su…”

After all, he was now considered an Official Reincarnator.

As such, he was even more aware of Su Ruobing’s identity and status in Linjiang. As the chairman of the Linjiang Reincarnator Association, she was essentially the ultimate superior of every single Linjiang Reincarnator.

She wielded considerable power.

Therefore, it was no surprise that his first time standing before such a powerful and charismatic figure, Li Jianfei’s performance was less than impressive.
