It was a lively scene.

Li Ping'an, with the little ones, happily started tearing corn cobs.

He was in a very good mood, unable to stop smiling.

However, Li Ping'an also felt a little pressure; they were all so powerful, but he was still weak, which was a bit embarrassing.

After tearing the corn cobs, there were also extra gains.

Three first-grade Corn Essences; Li Ping'an had no intention of keeping them and directly threw them to the little ones.

Li Ping'an took out a hoe, started tilling the land, watering it, and then planting first-grade Spirit Medicine, Earth Spirit Flowers.

This type of Spiritual Plant is relatively common and widely used. According to the Spiritual Plant Cultivation Manual, planting 200 plants per mu is optimal.

Although this was a Spirit Medicine, the Cultivation Points Li Ping'an received were no different from cultivating other plants.

Tilling the soil, planting, watering—one mu of land still yielded 20 Cultivation Points.

In other words, what was planted didn't matter; the grade of the Spirit Field was the most important factor.

"Spirit Medicine can be nourished with Spirit Stones. Should I bury some Spirit Stones?"

Li Ping'an was a little conflicted.

After much thought, he still decided not to use them.

Firstly, he didn't have many Spirit Stones left; even just for Niuniu and the others, it wasn't enough.

Secondly, these were only first-grade Spirit Medicine, completely not worth it.

Including Myriad Things Growth Technique, Li Ping'an didn't plan to use it now, as it consumed too much Spiritual Power.

Leaving the Secret Realm, he put away the Secluded Forest Illusion Array.

Li Ping'an led the three little ones to patrol the several Spirit Fields. The ten mu of second-grade Spirit Fields were divided into four plots, designated as Plots One to Four.

In each Spirit Field, two Puppet scarecrows holding swords were placed for protection.

Even if he was sleeping in the wooden shed, as long as the Puppet scarecrows were there, Li Ping'an could check the status of the Spirit Fields at the cost of 100 Spiritual Power.

They were guards, and also surveillance.

However, these Puppet scarecrows were all at the Qi Condensation stage, so Li Ping'an had a limited range when checking the Spirit Field status through them.

All 130 Cultivation Points were used up.

His Spiritual Power reached its best level since he got the System, breaking through to seven digits, reaching 1,000,100 points!

If he used it sparingly, he wouldn't have to worry about Spiritual Power for a short time.

Returning to the wooden shed, Li Ping'an lay down to rest.

He had also thought about taking Heihei and the others deep into the mountains to hunt some Yao Beasts, first to temper them, and second to bring back some Beast Cores and Beast Blood to use as fertilizer.

However, he was too weak right now.

Li Ping'an felt it was better to endure for a while longer. As for the Cultivation Treasure Chest and the Heavenly Dao Rewards Treasure Chest, he hadn't used them yet.

The following days were very leisurely. Li Ping'an watered the fields every five days, and in his free time, he would also find some plots to clear and gain some Cultivation Points.

But he didn't continue planting. Planting too much would make him too conspicuous and easily attract attention from others.

One month later.

The Spirit Rice in the second-grade Spirit Field was already ten inches tall, verdant and exceptionally small.

During this time, Jiang Ming had visited a few times.

He didn't have much to do. As the last person and village guardian of Jiang Family Village, he came to find Li Ping'an for a drink simply because he was lonely.

The life of Cultivation was relatively dull and boring.

It was very uninteresting when there was nothing to do.

Once something happened, it was very likely to be a fatal matter.

For example, regarding the Spirit Fields in favorable locations, Jiang Ming said that dozens of Utility Disciples had disappeared in the past half-month alone, and their nearly mature Spirit Fields were all occupied by others, becoming a wedding dress for someone else.

It was fine if the Spiritual Plants weren't mature, but once they matured, there would always be some trouble.

This day.

Li Ping'an had just finished watering as usual and returned to the wooden shed when a woman in white robes arrived.

It was precisely that Senior Sister surnamed Wang, Wang Xin'yan.

Her Face was beautiful, her expression cold, and her tone was filled with arrogant disdain, "Do you know why I'm looking for you?"

"I don't know." Li Ping'an shook his head. He truly didn't know, without any pretense.

Wang Xin'yan's voice was cold, "I'm here to tell you, Junior Sister An is about to be promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple of Tianxia Peak."

Hearing this,

Li Ping'an smiled slightly, "My wife is truly excellent. However, since Senior Sister Wang is here to deliver good news, you should be happier. Looking like this is quite frightening."

"Hmph~ Don't be so flippant in front of me." Wang Xin'yan snorted coldly, saying, "Li Ping'an, you should also know that with your conditions, you are simply not worthy of Junior Sister An."

"I came today to tell you that for your own good, and for her own good, you should actively leave her!"

Understood.

This person came to do bad things.

No wonder she looked so cold, as if he had stolen two of her steamed buns.

Li Ping'an sat on a stone, crossing his legs, and said indifferently, "Then, what benefit does this matter bring to you?"

Hmm?

This question truly provoked Wang Xin'yan.

Li Ping'an wiggled his toes, "Don't tell me you're a kind-hearted great Samaritan, who only thinks of others."

Wang Xin'yan sneered, "Junior Sister An asked me to tell you this. She doesn't want to see you again!"

"With her Aptitude, her future is boundless. Her Dao Companion should be from a prestigious family. Only such a person can provide better Cultivation resources, and you, you can give her nothing."

Li Ping'an laughed, "I truly believe what you're saying."

Wang Xin'yan moved her hand lightly, and paper, ink, brush, and inkstone appeared before Li Ping'an. She said, "Since you understand the disparity between the two of you, write a letter of divorce. This is the last Face Junior Sister An is giving you."

Li Ping'an, however, shook his head, "Writing a letter of divorce is fine, but she has wasted many years of my life."

"I have dedicated my best years and the responsibility of a husband to her. It's not too much to ask for some compensation, is it?"

Wang Xin'yan frowned, "What compensation do you want?"

Li Ping'an put away his frivolous smile and said seriously, "She's about to become an Inner Sect Disciple, so she shouldn't lack resources."

"I want one thousand Spirit Stones, 200 seeds of fourth-grade Spirit Medicine, and ten bottles of third-grade Medicinal Pills. As long as you bring these things, I will write a letter of divorce."

Hearing this,

Wang Xin'yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and killing intent flowed from them.

The moment her killing intent first appeared, Heihei, Niuniu, and Dahua, who had been licking themselves, all looked over.

And at this moment.

Jiang Ming walked over, carrying a large iron sword, "Brother Li, you have a friend here."

Li Ping'an chuckled, "We've only met; she's not really a friend."

He didn't believe Wang Xin'yan was entrusted by An Ruoyi. This was definitely her secretly causing trouble, perhaps helping some bad guy to interfere.

So, he had to set conditions.

Seeing Jiang Ming.

Wang Xin'yan seemed to be somewhat wary. All her killing intent instantly receded. She said coldly, "I will convey your conditions to her."

After speaking, she turned and left.

After she had walked far away, Jiang Ming looked at Li Ping'an, "She is an Inner Sect Disciple of Tianxia Peak. She clearly wanted to kill you just now. Do you two have some grudge?"

Li Ping'an said, "No grudge. My wife Cultivates with her on Tianxia Peak. She claimed to be entrusted by my wife to make me write a letter of divorce to end this marriage."

"Heh~" Jiang Ming chuckled, "I didn't expect you, fellow, to have a wife who is an official Disciple of an Immortal Sect."

"Tell me, what's your wife's name? Perhaps I even know her."

Li Ping'an said, "An Ruoyi."

Jiang Ming frowned slightly, "It's actually her?"

Li Ping'an asked, "You know her?"

Jiang Ming shook his head, "I don't know her, but I've heard of her. The Grand Elder of Tianxia Peak brought back an immortal seedling with unparalleled beauty and extraordinary talent a few months ago. Many people know about this."

Li Ping'an asked suspiciously, "That's not quite right. My wife only has a sixth-grade Spiritual Root. She can't be considered an immortal seedling, can she?"

"Sixth-grade? Hehe." Jiang Ming laughed, "It seems you don't know, but that's normal. Few people in the mortal world can discern her accompanying Spiritual Vein, the True Yin Origin."

Accompanying Spiritual Vein, True Yin Origin?

Li Ping'an had never heard of such terms.

Jiang Ming explained, "This is a very powerful Spiritual Vein with infinite potential, but cultivating it also consumes an extreme amount of resources."

He paused slightly, then continued, "I think I understand this matter now. Tianxia Peak wants to fully Cultivate her, but they are unwilling to Cultivate your wife for you, which is why they want to interfere."

"Moreover, there must be high-status Disciples in Tianxia Peak who have taken a liking to your wife. Therefore, you are quite dangerous now. It's better to leave."

"It's already very good that you've had such an excellent wife, but you can't keep her."

After a few simple exchanges, he turned and left.

Li Ping'an rubbed his temples and looked at Niuniu, "That woman just now, can you beat her?"

Niuniu raised his horns, "Who are you looking down on? One of these horns can gore four to death, and one hoof can trample five to death."

"My brain isn't very good. Boss, calculate it: two horns, four hooves, plus a cow's tail, boundless bullishness, Bull Demon Overlord Body—how many can I gore to death?"

Holy cow,

This cow, it's full of abilities!

Li Ping'an's mouth twitched fiercely as he listened, "Dahua, what about you?"

Dahua was more modest, "That kind of character, I can probably beat a few dozens. If I perform well, a hundred is also possible."

Li Ping'an was quite shocked.

Now, he finally had some sense of security!

Heihei walked over, "Boss, you haven't asked this dog yet."

Li Ping'an rubbed the dog's head, "Then, how many can you beat?"

Heihei: "To be honest, a few days ago, when we went to steal birds to eat, there was a guy whose aura was ten times stronger than hers, and he couldn't even catch me."

"This dog is definitely not afraid of that person. It's just that I listened to Boss's words, acted low-key, and didn't cause trouble!"

Hearing these words.

Li Ping'an was greatly shocked, "Steal birds to eat? You guys ran to Xianyan Sect to steal Spirit Fowl?"

"Woof~" Heihei responded, lowering his head.

Niuniu hung his head, not speaking.

Dahua lay on the ground, covering his dog eyes.

Looking at the three of them, Li Ping'an sighed deeply, "You guys, you really know how to cause trouble. If you were discovered, it would be hard for us to escape."

Heihei said, "We won't be discovered. The Spirit Fowl they raise are also for eating. We didn't steal those white-feathered species used as mounts."

Li Ping'an pouted, "Honestly, how many did you steal?"

Heihei raised his dog head, "The first time we ate two. The key is they were too delicious, so we couldn't resist stealing three more, and then three more a few days ago."

Li Ping'an glared, "Eight, eight of them! You guys, you stole eight and didn't even let Boss taste them?!"

"I didn't even see a single bird feather!"

Heihei stretched out his dog paw and pointed into the distance, "Over in that gully, one was just hidden early this morning..."
