Chapter 3 You're serious!
Ruoyun smiled slightly to cover her embarrassment when she heard Su Buxing's words.
The main thing is how she answers that question.
But as soon as he looked up, Xiaonong Peak was already fully in sight.
But upon seeing that one look, Ruoyun's heart skipped a beat again.
Although the Fengling Sect is the weakest of the nine major sects in the Great Xia Kingdom, it is still among the top nine sects and naturally has its own strengths, which are far superior to those small sects.
The sect is naturally vast, occupying an entire mountain range rich in spiritual energy, with numerous peaks, the thirty-six of which represent the thirty-six inheritances within the Wind Spirit Sect.
Although there is a distinction between large and small, the problem is...
That's one of the thirty-six peaks.
But what's in front of me...
Is it Xiaonongfeng?
Since entering the sect, Ruoyun had never been to Xiaonong Peak before, as it was located deep in the mountains and considered a remote place.
However, it is also known that Xiaonong Peak once had a glorious past, but in the past few hundred years, the inheritance has been lost and the sages of the peak have all passed away, which is why it has fallen into such a state of decline.
But you...
What's the difference between this and the simple country courtyard of an ordinary person?
At the summit of the not-so-large mountain, on the carved-out platform, there were no grand halls or pavilions, only a small courtyard.
Unlike other peaks, which are well-planned and have spiritual herb gardens, alchemy halls, weapon forging workshops, and other places dedicated to cultivating immortality and striving for advancement.
All that existed were vegetable gardens, pigsties, chicken coops, a large pit, and many other uneven areas.
In the courtyard, millstones, piles of firewood, and stacks of wood were scattered haphazardly.
This is a blessed land for cultivating immortality, a place that countless mortals dream of joining.
Suddenly, Ruoyun understood why her master had specifically asked her to escort the two back, and she also understood why her master had specifically instructed her junior sister to go to Fuyou Pavilion if she felt lost on her cultivation path.
Ordinary disciples can't go to the Fuyou Pavilion; even I need permission to go.
This also made it clearer why the senior uncles and elders were so excited when this junior sister mentioned going to Xiaonong Peak earlier.
Ruoyun gasped and immediately turned to look at Zhi Luyao.
But when he turned around, he found that Zhi Luyao had already taken a step forward, and his expression was no longer cold and aloof, but full of excitement.
Ruoyun raised an eyebrow. "Junior sister, what are you so excited about? This is where you'll be cultivating from now on."
Su Buxing, who was standing to the side, naturally saw Lu Yao's expression as well. Sure enough, this young lady was a kindred spirit.
Looking at his junior sister, Su Buxing felt even more comfortable with her.
Knowing that Lu Yao had noticed their gazes and realized that he had been somewhat out of line, he immediately looked away.
But I still kept looking at the small courtyard that was getting closer and closer.
In his previous life, Su Buxing, the abbot of Baiyujing Temple, was a legend in everyone's hearts. Although Lu Yao had no chance to meet him, he heard many rumors, one of which was as follows.
After creating the greatest power in the world, this abbot did not live in the magnificent palace in Shengjing that stood atop the clouds, but instead lived in a small courtyard in the countryside on a mountaintop.
According to some accounts, that small courtyard is where the abbot began his spiritual practice.
That is, this small courtyard at Xiaonongfeng.
In his previous life, this place was a sacred land that cultivators dreamed of, and countless people longed for it, including Zhi Luyao.
Seeing it now in this lifetime, I am naturally excited.
The celestial raft did not land; it merely hovered above the ground in front of the courtyard.
As Su Buxing and the other two jumped down, Ruoyun took another deep breath. She hadn't seen clearly from the sky, but now that they were down, she saw some cabbage leaves lying on the ground, being pecked at by several chickens.
Moreover, there was a fenced-off area where several chickens were lining up to go in and poop...
They look clever, but Ruoyun could tell at a glance that they were just ordinary poultry with no spirit whatsoever.
But this involves queuing up at a designated place to defecate...
Ruoyun pursed her lips. She had been taken up the mountain to cultivate since childhood, and had also visited some mortal homes. She knew that chickens, as domestic fowl, would defecate anywhere, but this scene before her eyes... how were they tamed...?
"Junior sister, this is our Little Farmer Peak."
Su Buxing looked at Zhi Luyao and spoke, then pointed to a house: "That house over there is empty, you can stay there. Master is in seclusion in a cave in the back mountain. I'll take you there to familiarize yourself with the place later. That biggest house is where he lives, and that side room next door is mine."
As she spoke, Su Buxing looked at Zhi Luyao: "You came so suddenly, the blankets and stuff haven't been aired yet, but they're all new. We'll air them out for you when we're done with our work, so you can sleep comfortably tonight. What personal items did you bring? Should I pack them for you?"
Zhi Luyao also noticed those "very well-mannered" chickens.
The main thing is that when they saw them arrive, the chickens all raised their heads to look at them, tilted their heads and clucked, then continued to peck at the cabbage, while those queuing to defecate continued to queue.
Zhi Luyao found it somewhat amazing.
However, upon hearing Su Buxing's words, Zhi Luyao immediately replied, "I will leave it to Senior Brother's arrangements."
But in his heart he thought, do practitioners still need daily necessities?
Su Buxing nodded: "Okay, it just so happens that I made a few extra toothbrushes when I made them."
toothbrush?
Zhi Luyao and Ruoyun were both puzzled.
Su Buxing led the two into the courtyard, glancing at the pigsty, which was far from the house, where he could hear Da Hua'er snorting.
Su Buxing had been keeping track of time ever since he learned that Da Hua'er was about to give birth, so he wasn't particularly in a hurry.
So he continued to explain to Zhi Luyao: "That area is the vegetable garden. The food we usually eat is grown there. Our Fengling Sect has abundant spiritual energy, so these common vegetables grow quickly. I also provide plenty of fertilizer, so we lack nothing. This is the place I was thinking of making a doghouse and a cathouse. These two pits are sandpits for them, where they poop and pee, just like the chicken coop over there. And this big pit is the fish pond I dug, but I encountered some minor problems and had to stop work for the time being. But now that you're here, I feel like I can continue. I'll build a big fish pond and raise some fish. We can grill them and eat them when we have time."
At this point, Su Buxing pointed to the pigpen: "Over there are the pigpen and sheeppen. We only have a few sheep, which are usually free-range. They're probably running all over the mountain right now and will come back when it gets dark. Dahua should be lying in her kennel, since she's about to give birth. Next door is the cowshed, but it's still under construction. I was thinking it would be great to have dairy cows, but it seems hard to find any. There are also rabbit hutches and stuff like that. They're all in the future plans. I'll talk to you about it in detail later."
Zhi Luyao nodded and looked around carefully. Although it contained both chickens and pigs, Zhi Luyao found that the seemingly messy place was actually surprisingly clean.
Even where the pigsty was located, there was no strange smell.
Most importantly, listening to Su Buxing's plans and arrangements, Zhi Luyao felt that he was indeed his senior brother, with such a thorough plan!
However, different people know that the road is long.
Ruoyun couldn't bear to watch anymore. Cultivation! We're a cultivation sect!
Especially now that Lu Yao has come, and you've said so much, it's obvious you want her to do all of this too.
Ruoyun looked at Su Buxing: "Junior Brother, how do you usually cultivate? Although Uncle Zhao is in seclusion, cultivation cannot be neglected."
Upon hearing this, Su Buxing coughed and pointed to the vegetable garden: "Senior Sister, can you hear that when the soil is turned three inches deep, that is the initial stage of Qi Refining?"
Ruoyun: "Hmm?"
Su Buxing continued, "At the foot of the mountain, there is also a piece of undeveloped wasteland, which is also a place for cultivation."
Ruoyun looked at Su Buxing, who was spouting nonsense, and hesitated to speak. This sounded mysterious, but it was a complete lie. Who would believe it? This is just an excuse for not wanting to cultivate!
But Lu Yao, standing to the side, said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. I will remember it."
Ruoyun looked at Zhiluyao and asked, "What are you even remembering?!"
and...
Ruoyun looked at Zhiluyao, who had a serious and earnest expression, and wondered if the girl had lost her mind.
"Hmph~~"
Just then, a commotion came from the pigsty.
Su Buxing frowned as he looked over: "It's ahead of schedule?"
Having said that, he looked at Zhi Luyao and said, "Junior Sister, go to that room and bring the bundle from the table. I'll go take a look first."
After saying this, Su Buxing hurriedly ran towards the pigsty.
Although Zhi Luyao was taken aback for a moment, he quickly nodded and did as instructed.
Ruoyun was left to look at Su Buxing, then at Zhi Luyao, and finally at the pigsty, her face filled with astonishment. Was she really going to let the sow give birth?
What should a cultivator do?
While Ruoyun was still in a daze, Su Buxing had already run to the pigpen and looked at the big flower inside.
The pigsty was very large; Su Buxing had deliberately built it to be very big. Apart from Da Hua'er's private room, there were several other pigs grunting and nudging against the earthen wall of the partition.
The pig was quite large; it lay on the haystack, grunting softly, its little tail swishing back and forth.
The little eyes saw that Su Buxing seemed to be trying to get up.
Su Buxing said, "Lie down first!"
As if she understood, Big Flower immediately stopped moving and just hummed.
Without wasting any time, Su Buxing turned around, picked up the bucket, and was about to run towards the kitchen. Although there was still time, he looked at Ruoyun, who was standing there watching him.
Su Buxing asked, "Does Senior Sister know fire control techniques?"
Ruoyun nodded: "I know a little."
Su Buxing immediately said, "Could you please boil a few pots of warm water for me, Senior Sister?"
As Ruoyun watched Su Buxing place the bucket in front of him, he had already manipulated the well water into the large pot in the courtyard.
Although Su Buxing was only at the first level of Qi Refining, he could still do this, but that was all he could do.
Ruoyun looked at Su Buxing and was about to say something when she saw Su Buxing turn around and run towards the house.
Just then, Zhi Luyao also came out carrying that large bundle.
Su Buxing didn't waste any time. He opened the bundle, which contained bottles and jars, a small knife, gloves, an apron, and other items.
Without saying a word, Su Buxing put on her apron and, after watching Zhi Luyao teach her how to wear it, ran towards the pigsty.
As he passed Ruoyun, he bowed to her and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Sister."
Ruoyun paused for a moment, then nodded subconsciously, but then looked at Su Buxing and Zhi Luyao walking straight into the pigsty.
real...
Are you really going to make pigs give birth?!
Disciples of a cultivation sect giving birth to piglets from mortal pigs?
Zhi Luyao didn't know what she should do, so she just listened to her senior brother.
The sow was lying in the wrong position, but she couldn't move, so Su Buxing told her to gently grab the pig's head, and she did so.
Su Buxing carefully placed the big flower in its position.
Big Flower's breathing became more and more rapid.
Su Buxing's expression was solemn as he gently stroked Da Hua'er's back.
Zhi Luyao stood aside, watching the pig in front of her raise its buttocks, looking very uncomfortable, and finally looked at Su Buxing.
"Can you get out? If not, I'll have to take it out..."
As Su Buxing looked at Da Hua'er and spoke, he picked up a wine jar and poured it onto his gloves to disinfect them.
"It's coming out!" Zhi Luyao noticed that something was about to come out and quickly spoke up.
Su Buxing looked down and indeed saw a pink little thing covered in sticky fluid peeking out. He quickly laid out the blankets and squatted down beside it, carefully reaching out his hand.
Big Flower's whimpers grew louder and louder, and could really be described as screaming.
As Ruoyun controlled the fire and watched the water in the pot, she could naturally sense that the old sow had indeed given birth.
Seeing that the water was almost ready, he used his magic to control the large pot and headed towards the pigsty.
But as soon as they walked over, they saw Su Buxing and Zhi Luyao squatting on the ground, which was covered in blood and slime.
Zhi Luyao seemed completely unconcerned, holding a blanket in her hand and several pink little trinkets in her arms, seemingly unconcerned about the sticky fluid and blood staining them.
Ruoyun stood there, stunned.
It wasn't that I was stunned by this scene.
She is now at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. If her cultivation technique were not yet fully mastered, she would have already attempted to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Along her journey, she has witnessed far too much bloodshed and violence, so such a scene is nothing to her.
Mainly...
Pigs gave birth within their sect!
Especially this young lady from the Zhi family, who must have been raised in luxury, is now getting involved in this sort of thing...
Moreover, they didn't mind at all, and even started to do it themselves.
"Thank you, Senior Sister!" Upon seeing the water Ruoyun brought over, Su Buxing quickly expressed his gratitude, then handed the little pig wrapped in a blanket to Ruoyun before placing the large pot into the pigpen.
Ruoyun blinked at the little thing wrapped in the blanket in her arms, blinked again, and said, "Huh?"
at the same time...
Su Buxing noticed that the big flower had stopped and wondered if it was over, since there were already more than ten of them.
As far as he knew from his previous life, domestic pigs usually only had about ten offspring.
"Hmph~~"
But just as he was about to wipe Da Hua'er's body with a silk handkerchief dampened with warm water, Da Hua'er suddenly trembled and let out a low growl.
Su Buxing quickly looked down and saw that there was still one left!
Unlike the previous little things that came out one by one, this one seemed to be stuck, and blood was flowing out.
Along with the blood came the pitiful screams and low moans of the big flower.
Seeing this, Su Buxing dared not be negligent at all, knowing that this was probably a difficult birth, and immediately reached out to scoop it out.
Seeing this, especially with the increasing amount of blood, Zhi Luyao was at a loss. He quickly turned around and handed the two piglets in his hand to Ruoyun. Then, he hurriedly imitated Su Buxing's behavior and gently comforted Dahua'er.
Ruoyun watched as one person reached their hand inside the pig's mouth, while another tried to soothe it.
Looking down at the piglets in her arms, then at what Su Buxing was doing...
Ruoyun, who had never seen such a scene before, blinked.
what?
And at this moment...
Su Buxing grabbed something very sharp, like teeth.
Realizing that this was what had scratched the big flower, he grabbed the sharp object with one hand and pulled it outwards.
Big Flower let out a miserable scream.
It was around this time...
[The divine beast Dang Kang was born, and with Dang Kang's arrival, the harvest was plentiful.]
The prompt suddenly popped into Su Buxing's mind.
Su Buxing noticed something strange about that look; the sharp thing was the tiny fang-like object in its mouth. "Huh?"
