Chapter 115 The Fei Family's Calamity Resolved (Please Subscribe)

"He's alive!"

"The spirit rice has come back to life!"

The old farmer shouted at the top of his lungs.

Several members of the Fei family who were working in the fields nearby were startled by the noise and rushed over after putting down their work.

"Old man Ma, what are you yelling about?"

"Has he gone mad this early in the morning?"

The group joked around, but there was no real smile on their faces.

These days, everyone in the clan is feeling a heavy weight on their shoulders.

The problems with the constant wood worsened day by day, the spiritual fields yielded less, and the spiritual energy stagnated. Many people even began to prepare to relocate from their clan's territory.

At times like this, no one can laugh.

The old farmer didn't bother to explain; he just pointed tremblingly at the sacred rice plant in front of him.

"See for yourselves!"

Upon hearing this, everyone lowered their heads to look.

At first, the people didn't take it seriously.

But soon, one of them was stunned.

"This, this is!"

He hurriedly squatted down and reached out to touch the rice. When his fingertips gently touched the rice leaves, he confirmed that a touch of green had indeed appeared on its withered yellow surface.

His face was filled with disbelief, and he exclaimed, "It's really alive!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people around him changed simultaneously.

Realizing what had happened, the group immediately scattered.

"Take a close look and see if there are similar situations in other fields."

"6

"I've found one!"

"I have some here too... three or four!"

"Me too!"

As the scope of the inspection continued to expand, the shock on everyone's faces grew stronger.

Many of the originally withered and curled rice leaves have turned green again.

Soon, someone realized the reason: "It's spiritual energy! The spiritual energy in the soil has started flowing again!"

A commotion immediately arose among the crowd.

But then someone shook their head and said, "No, I still can't breathe properly."

"What exactly happened?"

Everyone was puzzled, unsure whether to be happy or confused.

But for spirit farmers with lower cultivation levels, the resurgence of vitality in the spirit rice is the greatest joy.

Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, someone abruptly turned their head to look into the distance.

"quick!"

"Go and inform the Ancestor!"

"Run! Don't dawdle!"

Several figures moved with incredible speed, immediately rushing towards the clan's territory.

Before long, the news had spread, and the entire Fei family was gradually in an uproar.

At first, only a few people believed it, and many even thought the tribal farmers had made a mistake.

But as more and more people went to the spirit field to check, those doubts gradually disappeared.

Some disciples with higher cultivation levels tried to circulate their cultivation techniques and were surprised to find that the spiritual energy, which had been as stagnant as mud, seemed to have loosened up a bit.

Although they still find it difficult to perform the breathing exercises, it is a world of difference compared to a few days ago.

Some had already packed their bags, ready to move their entire clan at the ancestor's command.

But when they heard the news, they found that the spiritual energy had indeed loosened up, and overjoyed, they threw their carefully packed bags aside.

If given a choice, who would want to leave the land where they grew up?

For a moment, the entire Fei family was in an indescribable atmosphere.

At this moment, a crack finally appeared in the dark clouds hanging over everyone's heads.

the other side.

Somewhere in the Fei family's territory.

Xu Zhou and Fei Xin walked side by side, their divine senses constantly scanning the surroundings.

In the past few days, the two of them have been patrolling the clan's territory several times a day to sense changes in the spiritual energy.

Although Xu Zhou felt somewhat confident, no one dared to say for sure whether his formation would be effective until the results were actually seen.

Suddenly, someone came running from afar.

Before one of the Fei family cultivators even got close, he exclaimed excitedly, "Ancestor!"

The spirit rice has come to life! The spirit field has changed!

Fessin's heart skipped a beat.

He and Xu Zhou exchanged a glance, and the two of them simultaneously took to the air and flew towards the distant spirit fields.

A moment later, the two landed in the spiritual field, and the Fei family disciples immediately made way for them.

Xu Zhou immediately approached the spirit rice and placed his hand on the soil.

After a moment, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

Under his perception, the spiritual energy in the soil, which was originally almost stagnant, was now flowing extremely slowly, providing life to the spiritual rice paddies above.

Although it is still very weak, it is no longer a stagnant pool.

He stood up and nodded to Fissin: "It seems we misunderstood before."

These past few days I've been searching everywhere for signs of spiritual energy movement, but unexpectedly, the first places to change are the soils close to the earth's veins. With that, I can finally relax.

It seems that before long, the spiritual energy of this land vein will gradually recover and become vibrant again.

Fei Xin's expression changed repeatedly, and he was unsure what to say.

After a long while, he closed his eyes slightly and finally exhaled slowly.

When he opened his eyes again, there was an undisguised joy deep in his eyes.

"Thank you... thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Xu."

His voice was hoarse.

The restoration of the sacred field is only the first step.

As time passed, several days later, the spiritual energy of the Fei family began to loosen again.

Elders with higher cultivation levels are already able to try breathing exercises within the clan's territory.

Although there is still some stagnation, the spiritual energy is undoubtedly loosening up, and the momentum is getting better and better.

Several more days passed.

The spiritual energy, which had been stagnant like mud, began to flow slowly at a speed that everyone could feel.

Many members of the clan resumed their daily cultivation practices.

These people were initially worried, but as the technique was practiced, the joy on their faces grew stronger.

The spiritual energy had been solidified for a long time, resulting in a concentration far greater than before. Now, by painstakingly absorbing even a fraction of this spiritual energy, they gained a significant amount of cultivation.

Before this accumulated spiritual energy is completely exhausted, it will be enough to make up for the cultivation opportunities they missed.

In a short time, the entire Fei family rallied.

The original plan to relocate the clan's territory was completely shelved.

The bags that had been packed in advance were reopened, and the elders who had been sent out were recalled one by one.

The happiest of all were the children in the tribe.

It's unclear who started it, but the children returned to the Everlasting Tree and started chasing and playing around its roots.

Some people even stood on tiptoe to hang the new wooden signs on the tree branches.

Although the elders of the clan noticed them, none of them went to stop them.

Fessin stood in the corner, watching this scene from afar, and remained silent for a long time.

Only now did the huge weight on his heart finally lift completely.

"Judging from the current recovery speed, the Fei family's spiritual energy should be fully restored in six months at most."

Xu Zhou stood aside, using his divine sense to perceive the earth's veins and the surrounding area simultaneously, and finally came up with a rough estimate.

Fessin was overjoyed upon hearing this.

He was about to clasp his hands in thanks again.

However, Xu Zhou's second sentence left him speechless for a moment.

"Restoration is just the beginning."

Xu Zhou pondered and said, "The problem with Hengchang Wood is not decay, but transformation."

Now that the ley lines have reconnected with the Everlasting Wood, they will continue to be nourished by the Everlasting Wood for decades to come.

Fei Xin was taken aback.

What do you mean by that?

Xu Zhou knew he didn't understand the principles of formations, so he tried his best to explain in a way that ordinary people could understand: "Once upon a time, the constant wood was the source of water, and the earth veins were the streams that carried the water."

Today, the earth's veins have expanded, enabling them to carry water flow while also accumulating rainwater.

This cycle repeats itself, and the earth's veins gradually widen under the impact of the water flow, eventually turning small streams into rivers, and even great rivers.

As he said this, he looked down at the mountains below.

"Perhaps a hundred years from now, even without the constant wood, the condition of the earth's veins here will be greatly improved."

"By then, the spiritual energy of the Fei family's land will far surpass that of today."

Fessin's breathing quickened as he listened.

After a long silence, he couldn't help but ask, "Then what will become of my Fei family's territory?"

Xu Zhou smiled gently: "Given enough time and the right circumstances, this place might just grow into a truly sacred place."

Upon hearing this, Fessin froze on the spot.

On the other side, Xu Zhou also fell silent after speaking.

A sacred place.

These two words echoed in his mind.

He had always believed that sacred sites were creations of heaven and earth.

But in that very instant, he suddenly realized a detail he had been overlooking.

So-called sacred sites are not necessarily all naturally formed.

The sacred wood nourishes the earth's veins.

The earth's veins nourish the mountains and rivers.

As time goes by, even ordinary mountains and fields can be transformed.

Thinking of this, a strange light suddenly flashed in Xu Zhou's eyes.

But he quickly dismissed the audacious idea in his mind.

If one were to start from scratch and artificially create a sacred land, the time, effort, and resources required would be far beyond what an ordinary cultivator could bear.

Only powerful sects like the Golden Flame Sect can attempt this; ordinary cultivators, being weak and isolated, shouldn't even consider it.

However, this thought ultimately left a mark on his heart.

The gloom that had been hanging over the Fei family for days has been swept away, and the entire clan is now decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, creating a lively atmosphere.

Even the ancestral hall, which had not been opened for a long time, has been relit with incense.

The children ran freely in the village, as if it were New Year's Day.

That evening.

Fei Xin personally hosted a thank-you banquet for Xu Zhou.

Those who attended the banquet were almost all the core elders of the Fei family. During the meal, they praised Xu Zhou highly, treating him almost as the great benefactor of the entire clan.

After the banquet ended, Fei Xin made a point of asking everyone else to leave so he could sit alone with Xu Zhou for a while.

Then, he took out a storage bag and solemnly handed it over.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, the Fei family will never forget your help this time."

However, the clan has suffered great losses in recent years and almost had to relocate.

Currently, the only spirit stones I can offer are around 30,000.

As he said this, a hint of shame appeared on his face.

"Thirty thousand spirit stones are far from enough to repay Fellow Daoist Xu's kindness."

I humbly request that Fellow Daoist Xu grant me a few years' grace, so that the Fei family may recover. I, Fei, will certainly pay a visit to make amends.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhou smiled and waved his hand.

"There's no rush regarding the spirit stones."

Fei Xin was slightly taken aback: "Then what does Fellow Daoist Xu mean?"

Xu Zhou turned his gaze to the outside of the hall, his eyes landing on the Everlasting Tree atop the mountain.

He then slowly spoke, "If Fellow Daoist Fei truly wishes to thank me, I would like to ask for something else."

Fei Xin immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, please speak freely."

Xu Zhou carefully considered his words before finally saying, "Before that, there is one more thing I would like to ask you."

I wonder where your grandfather got the name Heng Changmu from.
