Ning Wan’er’s little mood swings are, of course, unbeknownst to Li Muyang.
For him, participating in the sect’s grand selection was just an excuse to get out of the house after being cooped up for too long.
Now that the test results are out, he’s content to go back home, back to his little tiled house to play games.
Ning Wan’er’s talent is astonishing, suddenly drawing the gaze of countless curious onlookers.
Unsurprisingly, she was directly promoted to the Inner Sect, taking her belongings with her on the very same day and leaving with an Inner Sect disciple to guide her.
This Miss Ning from Jiuyuan City will directly enter the gates of the Demon Refining Sect and become an Inner Sect disciple.
As for whether she will have the chance to catch the eye of an elder and become a direct disciple, that’s a story for another time.
At least Li Muyang has no idea.
After all, there’s a thick barrier between the Demonic Sect’s Inner Sect and Outer Sect.
It’s difficult for Outer Sect disciples to get news about the Inner Sect. To them, the real Inner Sect is shrouded in a veil of mystery.After the grand selection of the sect, Li Muyang’s life once again settled down, returning to a peaceful and regular routine.
He waters the spiritual field every day, farms, and plays games in his spare time.
His younger sister, Li Yuechan, who isn’t related by blood, brings vegetables on time every day to feed him, and every three to five days, she helps him wash the pile of dirty clothes.
Li Muyang’s little tiled house is much cleaner than usual.
After two months of farming, his spiritual field finally matured, and he harvested spiritual rice for the first time.
When it was time to harvest the spiritual rice, Guan Xiaoshun even came over to help.
This simple youth from the border town taught Li Muyang the best way to harvest.
Many of the skills and abilities of a Spiritual Planter are not found in the secret manuals distributed by the sect. They must be discovered through personal exploration.
And this simple youth passed on all his excellent Spiritual Planter skills to Li Muyang.
However, Li Muyang’s approach to watering and farming has always been perfunctory, only doing the most basic watering twice a day and rarely dealing with the weeds in the field.
The growth of the spiritual rice in his field is nowhere near as good as Guan Xiaoshun’s spiritual field, and it could even be described as poor.
The spiritual rice harvested from the two fields is all of the lowest quality, low-grade spiritual rice, and the yield is also far below the average standard.
Guan Xiaoshun was speechless and couldn’t help but say, “Brother Li, you really need to take better care of your spiritual field…”
In Guan Xiaoshun’s view, Li Muyang’s half-hearted farming methods were simply a waste of the spiritual field.
Li Muyang just grinned and said he heard him and would definitely improve in the future.
But after the rice was harvested and it was time to plant the second round of spiritual rice, Li Muyang was still slacking off.
Ten days have passed since the sect’s grand selection.
Now, all the Outer Sect disciples have calmed down, doing their various chores every day.
After all, there aren’t many activities in the second half of the year, and life is rather dull.
And after the only opportunity for advancement provided by the grand selection has passed, the remaining days seem quite predictable.
Guan Xiaoshun is considered to have decent talent, with a four-segment root bone, barely touching the threshold of being promoted to the Inner Sect.
But in the second round of selection assessments, this youth from the border town failed and missed the chance to become an Inner Sect disciple.
He returned to his room dejected and was downcast for several days.
Eventually, he got back on his feet, cheered up, and even took the initiative to help Li Muyang harvest spiritual rice.
While helping with the harvest, his smile was bright, and his eyes were earnest. He no longer cared about failing the sect’s grand selection.
He decided to plant the spiritual field and cultivate with his feet firmly on the ground, ready to go wherever life takes him.
For him, a poor orphan from a remote rural area, being fortunate enough to enter the Demon Refining Sect as an Outer Sect disciple was already a great stroke of luck.
Although he lost an opportunity to advance further, he shouldn’t be too demanding. One must learn to be content.
The youth’s eyes were serious when he said this.
Li Muyang greatly admired Guan Xiaoshun’s attitude of encouraging him with a few words before ending the day’s work.
The next night, Guan Xiaoshun suddenly woke up from his sleep because he vaguely sensed some movement in his room.
In the darkness, Guan Xiaoshun immediately rolled out of bed and rushed to his rice bin.
–There are no shortage of thieves among the Outer Sect.
Some crafty Outer Sect disciples who learned some underhanded techniques would take advantage of the night to act.
Guan Xiaoshun, this simple youth from the border town, could earn a lot of spiritual rice and money because of his excellent spiritual field planting, making him a fat sheep in the eyes of many in the Outer Sect.
Still, Guan Xiaoshun has always been vigilant against thieves.
But when he came to the corner of the room with a knife, he saw that his rice bin had not been stolen.
Instead, a dirty clay pot filled with clean rice grains was on the lid of the rice bin.
The spiritual rice was distinct and faintly emitted a light fragrance, about ten jin in total.
A simple note was attached to the rice bin.
“I admire your character. This rice is a gift for you. If there is a chance in the future, please do more good deeds and do not forget your original intention.”
The handwriting was sloppy and messy, seemingly from the hand of an elder.
The person had silently entered his room, leaving behind the spiritual rice and note, and he had not noticed at all…
Guan Xiaoshun instinctively touched his neck, his eyes filled with confusion.
“Admire my character? What about me is there to admire…”
He curiously walked over to the rice bin, pinched a grain of spiritual rice with his fingers, and gently chewed it in his mouth.
The next second, the youth’s eyes widened in shock, filled with amazement.
“Such strong spiritual energy!”
This was not ordinary spiritual rice!
Guan Xiaoshun was shocked as he looked at the pile of spiritual rice on the rice bin, immediately realizing the extraordinariness of this spiritual rice.
It looked ordinary, but the amount of spiritual energy contained within was even higher than many high-grade spiritual rice in Yunxiao City.
Even among high-grade spiritual rice, it was definitely of the highest quality.
And that nameless senior had given him at least ten jin of high-grade spiritual rice…
The youth from the border town fell silent for a moment, then suddenly let go of the knife in his hand and bowed deeply to the rice bin.
“Guan Xiaoshun will remember the great kindness of the senior!”
No matter who the person was, since such a precious gift was given, he would remember this kindness.
But to ask him to not forget his original intention and to do more good deeds…
Guan Xiaoshun was somewhat puzzled in his heart.
Could it be that this old senior is someone from the path of immortality? This way of speaking, he must be a high-ranking figure in the path of immortality, right?
Did I inadvertently receive a favor from a high-ranking immortal?
Guan Xiaoshun looked puzzled.
At the same time, within the Outer Sect gathering area, a shadow flashed by in an instant under the moonlight.
His light yet eerie movements were astonishingly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the outskirts of the town and disappeared into the forest.
In the vast settlement, none of the Outer Sect disciples noticed this uninvited guest’s departure.
Only after traveling a great distance did Li Muyang stop in the shadows.
He looked back at the lights below and let out a sigh of relief.
He owed Guan Xiaoshun too many favors and had always wanted to repay them.
But now, he was outwardly penniless, and high-grade spiritual rice was something he couldn’t expose.
After much deliberation, Li Muyang chose to secretly send Guan Xiaoshun some high-grade spiritual rice under an assumed name.
Ten jin of high-grade spiritual rice would be enough for the kid for a long time, especially since ordinary people didn’t have Li Muyang’s enormous appetite.
After delivering the spiritual rice, Li Muyang took a long breath of relief and returned to his small tile-roofed house.
With Guan Xiaoshun’s matter settled and the favor repaid, Li Muyang felt a weight lifted off his chest and a sense of relief throughout his body.
Now he could finally immerse himself fully in the game.
In the darkness, Li Muyang closed his eyes and activated the system.
However, tonight’s game system presented a new interface.
