My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 36 Gale Falcon

at this time,

Nine days above, a black dot moves across the azure sky.

That tiny black dot was so small.

It's like an ant crawling across a clear blue sky.

If your eyesight isn't good, you probably won't even notice.

But obviously,
Ants cannot crawl on the sky.

It was a big bird.
Bird-like monsters flying high in the sky.

It's just because the distance is too far.

So much so that it looks like just an ant with a tiny black dot.

"Changchuan, how is it? Can you handle it?"

not far away,
Han Qinhu walked over, glanced warily at the sky above, and asked with concern.

At this moment, he held a low-to-mid-level longsword magic weapon that he had seized from the third of the Four Fiends of Heshan, and he was wearing the leather armor that had been damaged by Shen Changchuan in the ambush battle.

They looked fully armed.

But none of these things clearly gave him much of a sense of security.

"This is a bit troublesome. That thing is probably at the peak of the mid-stage of the first tier, and its strength level is probably around the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining."

"But if I'm not mistaken, that thing should be the extremely troublesome Gale Falcon among the demonic beasts. This kind of demonic beast is naturally close to the power of wind and is extremely fast. Even a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining would probably find it difficult to keep it.

Shen Changchuan shook his head slightly, his brows furrowed.

His perfected spiritual vision technique allowed him to see the general shape of the black dot from a great distance.

But precisely because of this,

After seeing the specific details of the demon,
It was a real headache for him.

"Then let's abandon the battle plan and just go with the backup plan."

"Bring the entire village to harvest together, and try to harvest as much as possible in the shortest amount of time!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Han Qinhu's eyes.

"No, that would only increase casualties. Besides, that guy's target is the Spirit Valley. Even if he doesn't care about the lives of the villagers, he probably won't be able to harvest much."

"Let's proceed according to the original plan."

Shen Changchuan thought for a moment, but ultimately rejected Han Qinhu's suggestion.

The current plan may not necessarily succeed.
But it's the best solution yet.

All I can say is that I'll do my best.

Speaking of,
Shen Changchuan was able to plan and prepare in advance because

However, this was still largely related to his decision three days earlier when he went out of seclusion to inspect the spirit fields and learned that ten acres of spirit fields could increase production significantly, so he decided to "give out bonuses" to encourage the villagers' enthusiasm.

Because shortly after the announcement that day,
A villager reported something to Han Qinhu.

He said that a few days ago he saw a black dot hovering in the sky for a quarter of an hour before it left.

The villager had excellent eyesight and could vaguely make out the outline of the black dot. It seemed to be a large bird, like an eagle, flying very high. It was probably some kind of unknown monster.

He originally intended to pretend he didn't know.

After all, the monster ran away after circling around, and he had no evidence. If he rashly reported it and they couldn't find it later, he would waste the immortal master's energy and end up getting himself into trouble.

I might as well just bury it deep in my heart.

But things changed when Shen Changchuan decided to use a portion of the increased production as "bonuses".

Having lived in Dawancun for many years, the villagers knew that the Spirit Valley was a spiritual object, and that when it matured, it might attract attacks from demonic beasts.

The giant demonic boar that the newly appointed young immortal master dealt with on his way to take office half a year ago.
For two consecutive years, it was a major problem for Dawancun, causing the previous immortal master a lot of headaches.

nowadays,
If that giant bird-like monster had attacked during the harvest of the spirit valley, causing a reduction in yield, would the immortal master still have been able to "give out bonuses"?

Obviously impossible!
So the villager, risking being impeached, reported the matter.

Upon learning this, Han Qinhu dared not be negligent in the slightest and went directly to find Shen Changchuan.

Upon learning the details, Shen Changchuan couldn't help but sigh.

Indeed, only when there is a stake in the outcome can people be more dedicated.

Shen Changchuan subsequently went to the highest point of the back mountain several times to observe. And behind him,
Indeed, they found traces of the Gale Falcon.

The thing circled over Dawancun a few times before leaving.

Based on the inference,

That Swift Falcon must be a recent arrival.

Its behavior of circling the village a few times before leaving was also easy to guess.

They must be scouting the location.

Check if the spirit grain is ripe.

I reckon that guy's target is those twelve acres of spirit grain in Dawan Village!
So on this day, the spirit grain ripens.

Shen Changchuan had already prepared a plan in advance.

However, when facing the Gale Falcon, a mid-stage first-tier expert who was difficult even for a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator to handle,...
Shen Changchuan wasn't actually very confident either.

not to mention,
The spiritual fields he needs to focus on are not limited to Dawan Village.

You should know that there are still two acres of spiritual fields in Zhao Family Village.

"trouble."

"Now, only my eldest uncle is a cultivator in charge of Zhao Family Village. Although I left behind the Bewildering Yin-Yang Formation, my eldest uncle is still a cultivator who has only recently succeeded in Qi Induction. Sigh, I hope everything goes smoothly."

Thinking of the two acres of spiritual fields in Zhao Family Village, Shen Changchuan felt a renewed sense of worry.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

At present, Dawancun is still more important.

We can only rely on my uncle over there.

There are still too few people.

After this period of time,

Let's think about how to solve this. Should we train our own cultivators as subordinates, or strengthen our protection by using external forces such as formations?

There needs to be a set of rules and regulations.

A thought flashed through Shen Changchuan's mind.

However, he quickly suppressed all these thoughts.

These things,
Let's think about it later.

at the moment,

We should focus all our energy on the Gale Falcon above.

Over time,
The sun gradually climbed higher into the sky, casting its scorching rays.

Outside the spirit field,

The selected, robust villagers, each holding a steel-forged sickle, stood silently by, waiting.

The clothes behind him were soaked with sweat under the scorching sun.

The air was thick with a sweltering heat.

I don't know how long it took,
suddenly,

The densely packed patches of spirit rice growing in the spirit field swayed and danced like a sky full of blooming flowers at this moment.

The golden light illuminated the entire earth!

A wonderful fragrance of Linggu rice permeated every corner of the air!
Everyone's attention was drawn to this magnificent sight.

Linggu,

It's ripe!
"coming!"

At this very moment,
Shen Changchuan, standing on high ground, felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

I see,

The black dot in the sky made a long, swirling motion.

Then it swooped down towards the direction of Lingtian with lightning speed!
So fast,

It was as if a gray lightning bolt had streaked across the sky!
