“Did you take good care of my Junior Brother Jiang?”

“This Junior Brother of yours is quite good.”

Afterward, Wu Xi’er took out the “Spirit Clovers” from her storage pouch.

Wang Ze gave them a cursory glance. “These are all three-leaf and two-leaf varieties; nothing special…”

He originally felt disdainful and even planned to mock them, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized something. He hurriedly looked up, giving his Dao Companion a questioning look.

Wu Xi’er nodded. “These were all grown by your Junior Brother Jiang.”

Wang Ze couldn’t help but put away his contempt, narrowing his eyes slightly. “Although there isn’t a single four-leaf plant, to actually cultivate them successfully under such a cultivation realm and technique level… It seems I still underestimated this Junior Brother Jiang.”

During their last transaction, he had deliberately withheld information on how to plant them, just to see if the other could succeed or not.

Unexpectedly, although the quantity wasn’t large, he had indeed done it.

It seemed this Junior Brother Jiang had some talent in both harvesting and planting; he truly was talented material.

Wu Xi’er agreed quite readily. “This Junior Brother not only has a good attitude but also good talent.”

Wang Ze asked curiously, “Why did you bring them over?”

Wu Xi’er shrugged, guessing, “Because they’re all three-leaf or two-leaf varieties? Perhaps he was afraid you’d be disappointed?”

“Hahaha!” Wang Ze couldn’t help but laugh heartily, seeming very happy.

The medicinal herbs in Wang Ze’s second mu of spirit field looked like green vegetables. One after another, they were closely packed together; the entire spirit field was practically covered with them.

Jiang Chen activated the Evergreen Art again. From high quality, they reached top quality…

But clearly, Wang Ze didn’t want to wait… and Jiang Chen didn’t plan to notify him either.

Therefore, he swung his sickle, starting the harvest from the roots.

Harvesting one plant… lifespan still +4 days.

It was the same as the Insect-ear Grass from the first mu.

Time flew by. Because there were more plants this time, it took longer. By the time everyone else around had left, Jiang Chen finally finished.

He hurriedly stored away the Green Grass properly, then returned above ground to rest.

At the same time, his attention focused on his attribute panel.

After harvesting this mu of Green Grass, he had added 5,972 days to his lifespan.

Now, Jiang Chen’s lifespan had reached 167 years. He wasn’t far from two hundred years; he could even reach it soon.

After all, there was still the third mu of spirit field not harvested yet—perhaps there would be a pleasant surprise.

Jiang Chen subconsciously looked over, and his whole person immediately froze.

Because the visitor… he knew very well. He even held some hatred in his heart for him.

It was the guy who had tried to seize his Spirit Farm at the Outer Peak.

Speaking of which, since joining the core Spirit Farms, the two hadn’t seen each other for over half a year. He never expected he would run into him here.

“Could Wang Hu have some relationship with Wang Ze?” Jiang Chen speculated inwardly.

“Isn’t that… Jiang Chen?” Wang Hu recognized him at a glance.

At that moment, Wu Xi’er walked out of the house. Because they were a bit far away, Jiang Chen couldn’t hear clearly, but from the way the two chatted and laughed, they were obviously familiar.

Soon, under Wu Xi’er’s guidance, Wang Hu arrived at the doorway. But just before entering, he glanced at Jiang Chen again.

The look was meaningful.

“Harvest the third mu of spirit field directly.” A sense of crisis surged within Jiang Chen.

Even though he had just rested, he still hurried back to the spirit field without pause.

The medicinal herbs in the third mu of spirit field looked extremely peculiar. They had only one leaf, roughly palm-sized, standing upright. The overall color was orange-red.

When the wind blew, these medicinal herbs immediately swayed. At first glance, they looked like patches of burning flame.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but he always felt the temperature within the spirit field rose considerably too.

He activated the Evergreen Art. Looking at the information appearing before his eyes, Jiang Chen immediately brightened.

Indeed, the third mu of spirit field did bring a pleasant surprise.

He picked up his sickle and began harvesting diligently. Truly a medicinal herb—it had also reached top quality. But the lifespan increase after harvest was higher than Spirit Rice.

On the other side, Wang Hu had already met Wang Ze.

“Cousin, why did you come? Why not use a communication talisman to notify me ahead of time?” Wang Ze was somewhat surprised.

Wang Hu chuckled lightly. “I just went to the Core Management Office to submit my spring tasks. I wasn’t in a hurry to go back, so I specially came to Cousin’s place to drink tea…”

Wang Ze ordered Wu Xi’er, “Prepare tea!”

Soon, Wu Xi’er turned and walked toward another room.

Then, Wang Hu leaned forward and asked, “Cousin… do you know who the person outside is?”

Wang Ze smilingly introduced him. “That person is called Jiang Chen. His harvesting technique is good, and he also has a bit of planting talent. He has already helped me harvest for two consecutive seasons…”

Seeing the smile on his cousin’s face and the appreciation in his eyes, Wang Hu felt quite jealous inwardly. He couldn’t help but reveal a trace of a sneer. “This person… is one of the Outer Peak disciples who rejected my ‘recruitment’ last year…”

Hearing this, the smile instantly vanished from Wang Ze’s face.

Why could Wang Hu go to the Outer Peak and act as an assessment disciple? Because of him!

Simply put, the game Wang Hu played outside consisted of leftovers from what Wang Ze did. Precisely because of this, he could have ten mu of Tier-2 Spirit Farms at the Foundation Establishment stage.

“The heavens are dark; finally, all done.” Looking at the dim sky, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

Throughout the daylight hours, he had actually harvested three mu of spirit fields.

If he hadn’t reached late-stage Qi Condensation, with the spiritual energy support within his body plus his physical stamina and endurance, wanting to finish all at once would have been truly somewhat difficult.

Of course, the main point was actually the appearance of Wang Hu. This guy stimulated Jiang Chen so much that he dared not delay.

Although he didn’t know what Wang Ze and Wang Hu were discussing, this guy definitely wasn’t brewing anything good.

“Senior Brother Wang! I’ve already finished harvesting everything!” Jiang Chen shouted.

A good while later, someone walked out. But it wasn’t Wang Ze; rather, it was Wu Xi’er.

She came before Jiang Chen. Her face was somewhat strange, and her eyes held a mix of many emotions; she seemed rather complex.

Wu Xi’er didn’t speak at the first moment. Instead, she carefully examined all the harvested medicinal herbs, then expressionlessly asked, “Spirit Rice or Spirit Stones?”

Sensing the coldness in her attitude, Jiang Chen’s face remained as normal as ever. “Spirit Stones, then.”

Wu Xi’er wasted no words and immediately took out payment from her storage pouch. “Take it properly; total 62 Low-grade Spirit Stones!”

Jiang Chen was surprised. “For three mu of spirit fields, isn’t it 42?”

Wu Xi’er said flatly, “Plus your mixed-grade Spirit Clovers, total 20 Low-grade Spirit Stones.”

Jiang Chen understood, then received the stones into his hand.

Wu Xi’er saw the other didn’t even count them, trustingly placing them into his storage pouch. She felt somewhat regretful inwardly, but her attitude remained cold. “You can leave.”

“Should I say goodbye to Senior Brother Wang?” Jiang Chen asked.

“He’s busy.”

Jiang Chen roughly understood, then headed toward the fence gate.

Wu Xi’er followed step by step, escorting him to the doorway. Seeing the other had already stepped out, she then said solemnly in a low voice, “You don’t need to come anymore in the future.”

“Ah?” He pretended to look confused.

Seeing this, Wu Xi’er’s heart softened, and she reminded him, “Wang Ze and Wang Hu are cousins.”

Jiang Chen immediately understood thoroughly. Indeed, his earlier sense of crisis was not an illusion.

Wu Xi’er closed the fence gate, turned, and left without pause.

Jiang Chen watched her return to the house, then headed in the direction of home.

The sky had completely darkened now. Similarly, his face also somewhat darkened.

He had finally found a place where he could harvest top-quality medicinal herbs, never expecting it to be ruined by Wang Hu.

Fortunately, the last harvest was a very pleasant surprise.

The third mu of spirit field yielded Fire Spirit Grass. Harvesting one plant increased his lifespan by five days.

Because he harvested a total of 2,192 plants, his lifespan increased by nearly 30 years. And one shichen earlier, his lifespan had already reached 167 years.

That meant… Jiang Chen’s current lifespan had already surpassed two hundred years!
