Folklore: Pre-emptive shelter begins with the stomach.

"Can't it be repaired? Why can't it be repaired?" Feng Mo wondered.

Is it that they don't want to fix it, or is there some unspeakable reason?

What exactly happened that made someone willing to exhaust their vital energy rather than let others replenish it?

Feng Mo felt a sense of unease about these three words!

However, he naturally did not want to give up his cultivation, especially after realizing the terror of this world, he understood that personal strength was the most important thing.

But once doubt arises, it's like a needle in the rough.

"Perhaps I can ask Master Huang when I have time," Feng Mo thought to himself.

For now, let's focus on practicing other techniques.

The introductory method to the Five Organs Exercise is the Heart Palace Exercise – the "Dan Yuan Shou Xin Jue".

They neither practice martial arts nor train their bodies, but only observe the inner sea.

When the time is right, one will have an epiphany and rise to prominence.

This is the difference between internal martial arts and external martial arts training.

The main method is to absorb energy through visualization.

When it comes to energy, Feng Mo immediately pointed to the only cultivation resource in the world—the Disaster Stone.

He looked at the disaster stone in his hand: "Since this item can be displayed, it must be an extraordinary item, and it must also have the potential to advance."

I am determined to achieve enlightenment through cultivation, but the more I cultivate, the shorter my lifespan becomes, and I certainly don't want to experience any negative effects.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a notification appeared in front of him, as luck would have it.

"Spirit Stone (Tier 1)": Contains gentle energy that can replenish the qi and blood of cultivators and aid in their cultivation; because it is filled with the essence of heaven and earth, excessive absorption can bring the blessings of heaven and earth.

"Pre-payment of costs": Two disaster stones.

"Item Affinity": Doubles cultivation speed.

"what?"

Looking at the effects of the disaster stone in his hand after the advance payment, Feng Mo was stunned.

"It actually works!"

That's when the effect changed; the side effects disappeared, and instead, it was a stroke of good fortune.

But what does the creation of heaven and earth mean?

Feng Mo was puzzled.

If you can't figure it out, then stop thinking about it.

The name doesn't seem to indicate any problems.

That's enough.

Now that the Disaster Stone has become a harmless Spirit Stone, Feng Mo's understanding of cultivation has been elevated to a higher level.

Then, he turned his attention to the spoils of war besides the Disaster Stone—"Grey Wheat Seeds".

The seed was produced by the Lucky Trap.

Grey wheat is one of the most common crops in the world.

However, due to the impact of the disaster, the yield was low and it could not be eaten directly.

If used directly, it will not only cause a burning sensation in the stomach, but eating too much will also lead to death by intestinal perforation.

It must be ground into flour and then treated with a medicine prepared by a pharmacist.

This grey wheat can be considered a product of refined wheat evolving due to environmental changes.

Feng Mo knew this so clearly mainly because the original owner of this body refused to eat anything that wasn't made from refined wheat. He once accidentally ate a bite of a refined flour bun mixed with gray wheat, and on the spot, he broke both legs of the unscrupulous shop owner.

Those watching at the time didn't know any better and thought that the Third Young Master was just being chivalrous because he couldn't stand the unscrupulous merchants.

It was around that time that he, the Third Young Master, inexplicably gained a reputation for being upright and incorruptible.

Not long after Feng Mo picked up the seeds, a prompt appeared before his eyes.

"Gray Wheat Seeds of Qi and Blood (Tier 1)": It can fill you up while also replenishing your Qi and blood.

"Repayment conditions": Water it.

"Item entry" Precocious: Two harvests in one season.

"Hmm, not bad." Feng Mo nodded.

If these seeds grow, they will solve the problem of food supply, and can also be used to cultivate the wasteland around the well.

But before that...

Feng Mo looked at the cracked wall.

The most urgent task is to repair the walls around the internal organs.

The thought of that nine-foot-tall, skinny ghost, Feng Mo, made him uneasy; being spied on by that eerie creature every day was secondary.

But if one day you're careless and the strange thing grows to a point where you can't handle it, then you'll be in trouble.

Even with the protection of the "amulet stone," it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Feng Mo got up and touched the broken wall, and relevant information immediately appeared.

"Special Stone High Wall (Tier 1)": A high wall constructed with secret materials and stone blocks, which has a great attraction to the surrounding eerie entities. Unless completely destroyed, the eerie entities cannot cross it.

"Repayment Terms": Provide one night of shelter for a survivor within the high walls.

"Building Entry" Energy: Can be directly restored using Disaster Stones.

"This entry is not bad, but are the conditions...?" Feng Mo raised an eyebrow slightly.

It means to let pilgrims stay overnight at the temple of the five stomachs.

That's fine. You can get disaster stones and upgrade your walls at the same time. It's a win-win situation.

However, this place was too remote, and in the past three days, Feng Mo had not seen any other living people besides Gu Zhenren and the temple master next door.

"Well, since that's the case, we'll just have to put it aside."

It's still early today; it's not impossible that some pilgrims might come.

Putting aside his thoughts, Feng Mo decided to start clearing the land first.

He walked to the abandoned farmland in the inner courtyard of the temple.

"Harvest Black Soil (Tier 1)": Black soil that solves the problems caused by disasters and pollution, resulting in high crop yields.

"Repayment Conditions": Plant a Tier 1 seed

"Architecture entry" Nourish: Doubles the growth efficiency of crops.

Feng Mo looked at the terms of the advance payment and was immediately delighted.

He happens to have a Tier 1 seed in his hand right now, which is just enough to fulfill the conditions!

However, he didn't immediately use the black soil in advance, but instead used the gray wheat seeds he had in advance first. After all, the gray wheat seeds would be most effective after being used in advance, and using the land in advance would be a waste of the seeds.

In this environment, one must be meticulous.

"Advance payment!"

Instantly, the whitish seed transformed, developing a red edge, and grew to the size of a fingernail!

Feng Mo went out again to fetch water from the well and poured it on the surface.

"Loan already repaid"

With the advance quota refreshed, Feng Mo looked at the wasteland again.

"Advance payment!"

In the blink of an eye, the wasteland that was originally covered with weeds was transformed.

A dark, fertile, and loosely soiled land appeared before his eyes.

Feng Mo simply scooped with his hand, his hands covered in black mud, and stuffed the improved gray wheat seeds into the soil.

"Loan already repaid"

After doing all that, Feng Mo fetched some water to wash off the mud from his body.

However, due to years of disrepair, drawing water from the well was not only laborious, but the wooden bucket used to draw water also had a large hole.

The water inside even had a faint fishy smell, like a dead rat fermenting inside.

So much so that the water Feng Mo drank these past two days was dew collected from the eaves after a light rain.

But he can't keep drinking rainwater, can he?

Feng Mo decided to advance the well loan.

"Talisman Water Well (Tier 1)": Contains talisman water, which can ward off evil spirits and dispel misfortune. Long-term consumption can strengthen the body and improve health.

"Repayment conditions": Drink enough water.

"Architecture Entry" Crop Affinity: Consistent daily irrigation can double the growth efficiency of crops.

"Just drink water to fill your stomach, that's easy."

However, when Feng Mo looked at the entry again, his brows furrowed.

He obtained entries for both seeds and soil that described an effect similar to ripening.

It's worth noting that doubling the yield of crops is already quite an achievement.

But when he combined the keywords he drew, the value tripled!

Although Feng Mo didn't know how this rate was accumulated, it was still terrifying no matter what.

Crops that ripen once a season can be harvested in as little as half a month with the help of the entry.

This is terrifying.

It should be understood that due to calamities, the area of ​​arable land in this world is extremely limited.

The villagers of Jiangbai Village can only move within the area protected by the temple; any area outside that area is a no-go zone for the living.

Therefore, wherever there is land, scarce land means scarce food.

Without much thought, Feng Mo immediately said, "Advance payment!"

The old well, which was originally covered with moss, was instantly transformed into a brand-new one. The well walls were neatly stacked, and even the water-drawing shaft was designed to be the best ergonomic shape for Feng Mo, saving him a lot of effort.

Feng Mo filled a bucket and then brought out a broken bowl with one half missing from the wooden house.

I took a small sip.

It has a slightly bitter, incense-like aroma, but once it enters the mouth and throat, there is a strange sweetness.

"The taste is strange, but it's not bad. It has relieved a lot of the fatigue I felt from not resting for the past two days," Feng Mo commented honestly.

He drank several bowls of water until his stomach was full, and he finally stopped when a notification appeared on the panel.

I also stuffed a few cornbread buns into my mouth, so I had a full breakfast this morning.

But looking at the few cornbread buns left, there wasn't enough for the next meal.

Although only a day and a half of these three days of food had passed, the main reason was that there were two mouths to feed.

Feng Mo now has a mangy dog ​​with an even bigger appetite than him.

then.

Feng Mo looked towards the location of Jiangbai Village behind him.

He was going to do some shopping.
