Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique

Chapter 234: Chapter 223: Middle Grade Soul Nourishing Wood

Two years later.

The Cyan Water Turtle lazily lay in the shade by the shore, occasionally glancing toward the stone house nearby, looking for the figure of its master.

Its master used to feed it Spirit Fish frequently, but it hadn’t enjoyed such treatment for a long time.

After waiting futilely for quite some time, it sluggishly walked into the water, preparing to dive and find food on its own.

It didn’t dare venture into the area where the Red Grouper were, as those fish were too fierce. It had accidentally wandered in once and was viciously attacked.

Fortunately, its shell was thick enough and it ran away quickly. Otherwise, it might have ended up in the belly of the fish.

“Lan Bei,” Xia Yu Lian called out, raising a hand to show the Spirit Feeding Pill.

The Cyan Water Turtle’s shell was ice blue, which is why she named it that.

This type of Spirit Feeding Pill is specially crafted for Water Element Demon Beasts, made with Demon Beast Essence Blood and Spirit Fish Meat Paste, full of a fishy smell and rich in spiritual power, very attractive to Water Element Demon Beasts.

The Cyan Water Turtle immediately dove into the water, limbs paddling rapidly as it swam over.

Usually, it was fed by the two sisters and had a close relationship with them.

Currently, the Cyan Water Turtle was just at Qi Refining Fourth Level.

Xia Yu Lian chuckled, only when eating is Lan Bei not sluggish.

As the Cyan Water Turtle was about to reach her, she threw the Spirit Feeding Pill high into the air.

Lan Bei swam toward where the pill was falling, its neck suddenly extending, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Its neck lifted, and the clear round mark could be seen descending into its stomach.

“Come here!”

Xia Yu Lian squatted down and called out crisply.

Lan Bei swam ashore, and among the two caretaker sisters, it held extra affection for the younger sister.

Xia Yu Lian reached out and stroked its smooth shell, laughing softly:

“Lan Bei, grow up quickly…”

Before her words landed, the turtle suddenly turned in a panic and rushed back to the pool, swimming to the center.

Xia Yu Lian turned her head to see the Rock Armor Bear Dahuang coming from afar.

Dahuang naturally didn’t get along with Lan Bei and often bullied it.

Once, Dahuang dragged Lan Bei far from the Cold Pool, standing on its back with its limbs.

Ever since then, whenever Lan Bei saw Dahuang, it would hide in the water, unable to bear the feeling of being burdened.

Although the Rock Armor Bear could also swim, as an Earth Element Demon Beast, if it had a choice, it avoided water. Eating honey and getting stung when it was young was just an accident.

Dahuang walked to the edge of the Cold Pool, looking arrogantly at the distant Cyan Water Turtle, snorting disdainfully.

It lowered its head to lap up water and then calmly walked away, heading towards the Mulberry Field.

“Dahuang, are you going to steal honey again?”

Xia Yu Lian shouted sternly, blocking Dahuang’s way. Every half a month, she would feed it half a bowl of honey.

Ever since Dahuang broke through to Late-stage Qi Refining, it mastered its Talent Technique, the Rock Armor Technique.

Its entire body was covered with a hard shell of Spirit Light, then it swaggered into the beehive, eating its fill before leaving.

Now it’s not sneaking a taste; it’s outright robbery. Those White Jade Bees couldn’t pierce its defense at all.

“Roar!”

Dahuang let out a fierce low growl, opening its mouth, its scarlet tongue sticking out, hind legs supporting itself.

It really disliked the female cultivator in front of it, as she often stopped it from finding delicious treats.

Now the Rock Armor Bear had reached Eighth-Layer Qi Refining, standing upright to a height of eight feet, looking extremely daunting.

Xia Yu Lian called out towards the Rock Armor Bear’s back:

“Junior Martial Uncle.”

Dahuang immediately lay down, rolling playfully like it was acting cute.

It was smart enough to understand most words.

After waiting for a while, Dahuang perceived no movement and turned to look, not finding the expected figure.

“Hehe,” Xia Yu Lian laughed, this trick never failed.

Every few days, the bear would be fooled.

“Roar!”

It roared again, daring to trick a bear!

Dahuang stood up on its hind legs, showing its claws and teeth, emitting a threatening roar, but made no further move, only bluffing.

Not hurting people was the master’s ban. It had once pounced on a Spirit Farmer and bitten its leg, receiving a harsh punishment, a memory so deep it didn’t dare anymore.

Ji An walked out of the stone house, having just completed today’s talisman making. The Rock Armor Bear’s roar made him frown.

He gazed coldly at the threatening Dahuang, calling out:

“What happened here?”

Dahuang paused, immediately landing on all four paws, wagging its short tail as it ran over.

It stuck out its tongue, looking like a playful dog.

Xia Yu Lian walked over, glanced at the Rock Armor Bear, and smiled:

“Nothing, I was just playing with Dahuang.”

Ji An reached out and patted Dahuang’s head, saying:

“Were you thinking of eating honey again?”

He had seen similar scenarios several times before and had his own judgment.

Dahuang let out a wronged low growl, whimpered a few times, and ran off.

Ji An shook his head slightly, saying:

“No need to cover for it in the future.”

Xia Yu Lian lowered her head:

“Yes.”

Dahuang was small-minded and vengeful; she could complain behind its back but couldn’t expose it to its face.

Ji An summoned the Flying Shuttle:

“I’m going out to practice Magic Techniques. For dinner, kill a Red Grouper. We’ll have half grilled and half braised, and the fish head in a clear stew.”

“Alright, I’ll go fishing now.”

Xia Yu Lian gently agreed, ever since her Junior Martial Uncle stopped practicing the Water Control Technique at the Cold Pool, the Spirit Fish had become easier to catch.

…

The Flying Shuttle left Red Flame Peak, and Ji An looked down at the rolling golden Spirit Grain beneath, as it was time for harvest. Many Spirit Farmer disciples were working busily in the fields.

Immortal cultivators used magic techniques when planting, which was convenient and quick, but during harvesting, they still relied on manual labor.

He thought to himself about having an Artifact Refiner craft a Magical Artifact like a combined harvester in the future. Perhaps he could become a ’wheat harvester.’
