Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 212: Farming is to cultivate the mind
Li Xiang is now at level 7, with a total of 7 spiritual power vortexes condensed in his body. Although he has always focused on consolidating his foundation and the spiritual power in his body is extremely powerful, it still feels too fast that he has reached level 7 in less than a year.

He needs to calm down and polish himself.

A tall building starts from the ground. If the foundation is not laid well, there will be a limit to future achievements.

After practicing until about 23pm, Li Xiang went to bed. Although extraordinary people need less sleep, getting more sleep is still very beneficial.

At five o'clock in the morning, Li Xiang got up on time, went to the toilet, washed his face and brushed his teeth, did a little exercise, drank a cup of warm water, then went to release the chickens, ducks and geese, and scattered some grains.

The two little geese and the big rooster came over and followed Li Xiang.

Li Xiang brought them to the old place, next to the big rock in the bloodstone jungle. The little fox, Erhuang, the little cat, and the little hedgehog had already been waiting there.

Seeing Li Xiang, the little hedgehog squeaked and seemed very happy. It was obvious that this little thing had integrated into the group. I didn't know where it ran off to last night, but it came to the morning meeting this morning.

Li Xiang checked the cultivation progress of the small animals and rewarded them with spiritual fruits according to their respective progress.

The little fox made the fastest progress and had already condensed two vortexes of spiritual power. Erhuang, Xiaobai, the big rooster and the little gander had also condensed one.

Sanhua and Lihua are almost there, but the little goose and the little hedgehog are still a little behind.

Maybe animals are slower than humans in cultivation, so Li Xiang is not in a hurry and lets them cultivate slowly. Some people are slow in the early stage, but catch up in the later stage, such as Yao Yao. So just let it go.

After distributing the elixir and teaching the animals subsequent breathing techniques based on their progress, Li Xiang adjourned the meeting and allowed them to move freely.

The kittens ran away in a flash, as fast as leopards.

The big rooster flapped its wings and flew away, probably wanting to show off in front of Li Xiang. It actually flew directly out of the courtyard wall and did not land until it landed on a big tree several hundred meters away. Then it "cock-a-doodle-doo" towards the sun and began to crow with a loud and majestic voice.

This mean big rooster flew farther and farther away.

The little hedgehog ran slowly, so he followed the two little geese to play.

The little goose's butt was twisting back and forth, carrying a hedgehog, which was quite funny.

Only the little fox and Erhuang remained there, accompanying Li Xiang, unwilling to leave.

"Go and have fun, and come back for breakfast later. We'll have good food there to improve your meals." Li Xiang said with a smile, patting Little Fox and Erhuang's heads.

In terms of IQ, these two are the highest, even higher than Tuantuan. Of course, IQ has no absolute relationship with cultivation talent.

In his previous life, Li Xiang had also met many very smart people. At that time, extraordinary particles emerged on the earth, and some "common" breathing methods were made public. As long as one wanted to practice, one could practice, but those people just couldn't step into the threshold of practice.

The little fox and Erhuang ran out to play.

Next, Li Xiang swept the yard and prepared breakfast. His grandmother also got up and helped Li Xiang pick fresh vegetables from the vegetable garden. She then washed and dried them. She was busy with all kinds of things.

A big pot of elixir porridge, a plate of dried radish, a plate of peanuts, three plates of stir-fried vegetables, a plate of braised beef, three poached eggs, and then there is snake meat soup prepared for the cat, dog, little fox, and little hedgehog, which is cooked in a special pot and has a fragrant aroma.

Grandma didn't like to eat it. Li Xiang tried a few bites but wasn't very interested, so he gave it all to the little pets.

Ordinary little kittens can also have a share of the porridge made from low-level spiritual herbs.

Li Xiang now has a lot of low-level spiritual medicines, so he is not stingy. He will feed some of the leftovers to ordinary chickens, ducks and geese.

Ordinary chickens, ducks and geese will be free from diseases if they eat this magical porridge, their meat will become more tender and they will lay bigger eggs.

He would also take time to send some to his grandparents, trying to pick those that looked like food, such as Ling mushrooms and Lingzhi.

The same goes for Jiang Caier's family.

After breakfast, Li Xiang brought back many "local specialties" from Southeast Asia, as well as some selected low-level spiritual fungi, and gave them to Jiang Jianguo and his wife.

For other villagers, grandma would just give some small gifts casually as a token of her appreciation. However, grandma didn't give anything to Jiang Caier's family because they were special and Li Xiang had to take them personally today. Moreover, what he took had to be much more and better than what he took from other families.

In addition, Li Xiang also brought a few cans of palm wine and Singapore Sling for Jiang Jianguo to taste.

Palm wine, also known as toddy, is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermented sap of various palm trees. In addition to some Southeast Asian countries, it is also common in tropical regions such as the Caribbean coast and Africa.

The Singapore Sling is a very distinctive cocktail, known as one of the "Top Ten Cocktails", the national drink of Singapore, and the only one among the top ten cocktails invented by an Asian.

Li Xiang had tried both types of wine. The alcohol content was not high, but the taste was really good, so he brought some to Jiang Jianguo to try.

But Jiang Jianguo is used to drinking strong liquor, so he may not like this low-alcohol one.

After chatting with Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang for a while, Li Xiang went back to do farm work.

He weeds, loosens the soil, and catches insects in the vegetable garden. The vegetables he eats are naturally free of pesticides, and sometimes the chickens he raises at home also help to pick insects. As for the fact that the chickens also eat the vegetables, that's fine.

Li Xiang’s vegetable garden is so big, with so many vegetables in the front and back yards, a large part of which are originally chopped up to feed chickens, ducks and geese.

Not only chickens, ducks and geese eat vegetables, Erhuang and the little fox occasionally come to the vegetable garden to eat a few cucumbers, while the kittens only love cherry tomatoes.

Cats in rural areas do not need to be fed special cat grass, hair pellets, etc. They will find suitable plants that they like to eat by themselves.

For example, at this moment, Li Xiang was busy, and Xiaobai brought Xiao Sanhua and Xiao Lihua into the vegetable garden to patrol, play hide-and-seek, and play. When they saw the yellow cherry tomatoes, Xiaobai bit one in one bite, and his mouth was full of juice.

Xiao Sanhua and Xiao Lihua also followed suit, but Xiao Sanhua ate more politely, licking a cherry tomato for a long time.

As for rats, it is estimated that no rats would dare to appear within a radius of 800 meters from Li Xiang’s home.

In addition, the vegetables in Li Xiang’s vegetable garden can only be eaten by his chickens, ducks, geese and small animals. If someone from other families comes to “take advantage of the situation”, they will be driven away by dogs, foxes and kittens.

Grandma often said with a smile: "These little guys are really good at guarding the house."

No matter what kind of food you dry in the yard, you don't have to worry about birds coming over.

Every one that comes here is a delivery of food.

Even an eagle wouldn't dare to come.

Weeding, loosening the soil, catching insects... Although these tasks seem simple, they actually require great patience, carefulness and concentration. You can't do this job well if you are impatient.

Li Xiang was very calm while doing these tasks.

His peaceful and far-sighted state of mind made the spiritual energy in his body flow more smoothly and become purer. The "impurities" and "hostility" were slowly expelled. His eyes were bright and there was a faint light between his flesh and blood, as if it were crystal.

The spiritual body has achieved minor success.

In the scenic spot next door, the security guards started training early in the morning, practicing marching and martial arts. Because there are not many tourists in the morning, it is the time for them to do "morning exercises".

Since Lei Jiaming had recently acquired many powerful martial arts skills, he led everyone to practice together. The security guards were more excited than usual, and the cheers were endless, making the scene very lively.

Lei Xiaohui called and said that some of the girls in the store also wanted to learn. Li Xiang said, "Anyone who wants to learn is welcome. It's limited to martial arts. If there are any outstanding performers or talented people, please sign up."

Girls naturally learn martial arts from Zhao Xueqing, Yao Yao, Lei Xiaohui and others that are more suitable for girls.

If there is someone with good talent, Li Xiang doesn't mind cultivating him.

"Yeah, okay, brother, don't worry." Lei Xiaohui took the girls to practice.

Of course, they all know their limits and only take turns practicing for an hour or two every morning, which does not affect their work in the store or their live streaming sales in the afternoon and evening.

The staff dormitory is ready, but it will take some time to renovate. Although it will be a long time before they can officially move in, the girls have already chosen their own rooms.

Of course there is no such thing for men, as it is specially prepared for girls. People like Lei Jiaming have to go home every day. It doesn’t matter for men anyway, and it is more comfortable and convenient to go back to their own home.

Some married people, like Lei Jiaming, dare not not go back.

In the past few days, Li Xiang has been practicing hard at home and also helping with various farm work. Farming is a way to cultivate the mind. He helped his grandmother to plant a lot of new vegetables, such as okra, lettuce, radish, lettuce, chrysanthemum, amaranth, etc.

Among the peppers he had planted before, there was a variety that grew particularly tall, with lush branches and leaves, and so many fruits that it was almost up to grandma’s shoulders. Grandma said that these peppers were about to become spirits, and might grow into pepper trees in the future.

By then, the peppers produced by a pepper tree will probably be enough to make several jars of chili sauce.

Li Xiang used the "mutant biological identification function" to identify it. Unfortunately, it did not have extraordinary potential. However, in a few years, the offspring grown from the seeds of these pepper trees may not be able to become spirits.

I guess the peppers grown from the pepper tree taste better.

Li Xiang took some time to replenish some raw stones and clear materials to the jade factory's warehouse, then went to the jade factory to inform his aunt, and then inspected the operation. It was quite good and well organized under the management of his aunt.

My sister-in-law is becoming more and more adept at her job here.

Li Xiang invited the employees to have a meal together, and those who had families were encouraged to bring them along.

Li Xiang also met his cousin's new girlfriend. The girl was indeed pretty and his cousin's aunt was quite satisfied with the future daughter-in-law. She planned to formally visit her parents before the New Year to settle the matter.

The aunt often called Li Xiang’s grandmother and knew that Li Xiang’s major life event had been resolved. Even Jiang Caier, who lived in the same village, was naturally happy for Li Xiang.

It's good to know each other well. It's just a few steps away when you go to give gifts during festivals.
