In the global desert, I have a spring of spiritual water.

"The Lord's kindness is boundless!"

"May the Lord of the Manor enjoy boundless blessings for generations to come!"

"May the Lord of the Manor be blessed with boundless good fortune!"

As Chen Chuan walked through the streets of Taipingzhuang, the people knelt down to pay their respects, many with tears of emotion glistening in their eyes.

Four blessings fell in one day, the village's water supply was restored to normal, and agricultural production will be fully restored. The people are naturally grateful for such a feat.

However, Chen Chuan was not quite used to it; he felt like he had become a walking "saint".

He didn't want to be a saint at all, because if you become a saint, you have to use the standards of a saint to restrain your behavior. Chen Chuan just wanted to be an ordinary person, and he even thought the label of "spoiled brat" was quite good.

With this label, there's no need to worry about the building collapsing, since it's already in ruins.

Now, Chen Chuan has transformed into a beloved manor lord, and suddenly he has the "image baggage" of a good manor lord!

I'll feel ashamed to do anything bad from now on!

I need to talk to Hu Changhe later and ask him to tell Du Siniang to spread the word about how he started driving piles as soon as he entered the manor, and also to mention that he's a playboy. He doesn't want to be a saint.

Having made up his mind, Chen Chuan quickened his pace and returned to the government office.

Zhang Xu, Zhu Xu, and the others had already gone to work. Chen Chuan went straight to the backyard and found that many people were moving things in the yard, while Kong Deshui was standing aside directing them.

"Young Master!"

Upon seeing Chen Chuan return, Kong Deshui quickly came forward and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Old Kong, what's going on?"

Chen Chuan pointed to the people who were busy in the courtyard.

"The Hu brothers sent some daily necessities."

Kong Deshui said with a smile, "Young Master, the Hu brothers reacted very quickly. You haven't even returned yet, and the things have already been delivered. Everything from beds, cabinets, tables and chairs to pots and pans is provided."

"Oh, and this too."

Kong Deshui pulled a cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to Chen Chuan, whispering, "Inside are fifty Grade C energy stones!"

"These Hu brothers really went to great lengths to please their young master!"

Energy stones are the common currency of this era, and are divided into four grades: "A, B, C, and D". The higher the grade of the energy stone, the higher its energy density. Cultivators can improve their cultivation by absorbing the energy in the energy stone.

Most common energy stones are grade D, and it takes one hundred grade D energy stones to exchange for one grade C energy stone.

The Hu brothers directly delivered fifty Grade C energy stones, which, when exchanged, were equivalent to five thousand Grade D energy stones. This was a considerable sum of money in Shanghe City.

"Young Master, you're back!"

Just as the two were talking, Qianmei ran out of the house with a smile.

"Young master, I'm going to supervise their work."

Seeing Qianmei approaching, Kong Deshui tactfully walked to the side.

Chen Chuan simply threw the fifty energy stones that the Hu brothers had sent into the spiritual spring space.

Actually, there were storage rings and storage bracelets in this era, but they were relatively rare and the space they opened up was not large.

As the young master of the Chen family, Chen Chuan possessed storage rings, and more than one. However, these storage rings were of low quality, with only one cubic meter of space inside. They were not as practical as the spiritual spring space, which was his unique external advantage and posed no risk of being lost.

"Young Master, when did you become a water-attribute cultivator? Even people didn't know."

Qianmei took Chen Chuan's arm and said in a coquettish tone.

"I only recently came to this realization, and I myself only have a vague understanding."

Chen Chuan casually replied that he had been in this world for three days and had slept with Qian Mei every night. He had to admit that the little maid was really pretty and delicate. At sixteen years old, she was so tender that you could squeeze water out of her skin, and she was very likable.

"Young Master, you're amazing!"

"If the master knew you had become a water-based cultivator, he would definitely summon you back to Shanghe City!"

Qianmei said with a happy expression.

"I'm not going back to Shanghecheng!"

"From now on, Taipingzhuang will be our home!"

Chen Chuan put his arm around the petite Qian Mei and said.

"what?"

"Not going back to Shanghecheng?"

Qianmei was slightly surprised. She thought Chen Chuan missed the glamorous world of Shanghe City, but seeing Chen Chuan's attitude, she immediately chimed in, "If Young Master likes Taiping Manor, then Qianmei will accompany Young Master to Taiping Manor!"

"Young Master, you must be tired. Director Hu has sent over a new bed and bedding. Let Qianmei help you rest."

Qianmei puffed out her ample chest and gently rubbed it against Chen Chuan's arm.

"Alright, get some rest."

Although Chen Chuan was not a true playboy, he was not a paragon of virtue who could remain unmoved even with a woman in his lap.

He was just an ordinary man, and at that age, full of youthful vigor, he couldn't resist the advances of this young girl, Qianmei.

Moreover, there are almost no forms of entertainment in this era, so driving piles is indeed a good choice under such circumstances. When you're tired of playing, you can take a long nap.

He followed Qianmei into the bedroom. The maidservant lowered the curtains and began to help Chen Chuan undress...

Having been in this time and space for three days, the thing that Chen Chuan has enjoyed the most so far is having a charming little maid like Qian Mei serving him. Every time he rests, Qian Mei takes care of him from head to toe, making him feel comfortable.

In the Great Desert Era, it got dark early, and the wind and sand were quite strong every night, sometimes even causing deadly sandstorms.

When Chen Chuan woke up, it was already completely dark. The wind was howling outside the window, and the wooden window creaked and groaned as if it would be blown away by the strong wind at any moment.

Qianmei was fast asleep, curled up in Chen Chuan's arms, with a trace of drool at the corner of her mouth. The little girl had been quite exhausted and was completely drained, but she was unaffected by the strong wind outside.

Chen Chuan's consciousness entered the Spirit Spring space, wanting to check the progress of the Spirit Spring's upgrade.

Spirit Spring Level: 1

Available clones: 1 (4/5)

Elixir available: 3 liters

Upgrade requirement: Nourish 10000 subjects (682/10000)

Upgrade effect: Unknown.

682?

Chen Chuan immediately noticed the change in the spiritual spring information. There was no "progress bar" before, but now it showed 682/10000.

In other words, the Spirit Spring Space determined that 682 people had received nourishment from the Spirit Spring, but Chen Chuan didn't know what the standard for this nourishment was.

However, this is only the first day of setting up the Spirit Spring clone. At this rate, nourishing 10,000 people should be achieved very soon.

Chen Chuan focused his attention on the words "can receive spiritual liquid". Although he did not know the specific function of the spiritual liquid, a level 1 spiritual spring can only produce 1 liter of spiritual liquid per day, so it must be a good thing.

With a thought, Chen Chuan immediately extracted a liter of spiritual liquid, preparing to test its effects.

As his consciousness withdrew from the spiritual spring space, Chen Chuan found a crystal-clear jade bottle in his palm, containing a liter of extracted spiritual liquid.

Chen Chuan opened the bottle cap, revealing a transparent, viscous liquid inside, somewhat similar to honey, but not as viscous.

He took a small lick and immediately felt refreshed. The liquid was clear and slightly sweet, like snow melting in a mountain stream, carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees. After entering his stomach, it transformed into a cool and mellow flavor that soothed his heart and soul.

Immediately afterwards, the fatigue from the previous pile driving vanished, replaced by a slight tremor and a tingling sensation in my muscles and bones, as if a dormant power within me had been awakened...

nice one!

Feeling the changes in his body, Chen Chuan was overjoyed. With the help of this spiritual liquid, his cultivation speed would definitely increase rapidly!

Boom boom boom! ! !

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

Just as Chen Chuan was about to take another big gulp of spiritual liquid and then sit down to meditate, a loud drumbeat suddenly sounded in front of the government office, and the drumbeat became more and more rapid.

Qianmei woke up with a start, glanced at Chen Chuan groggily, and murmured, "Young Master, what happened?"

Before Chen Chuan could answer, panicked and chaotic shouts erupted in the front courtyard of the government office: "Alarm! Alarm!"

"Sand monsters are attacking!!"
