Then the skill [Water Control] was added.

Directly control the water to lift the watermelon into the air and wash it thoroughly in 360 degrees without any dead angle.

After putting the watermelon down, Bai Qiuyuan looked at the water ball floating in the air and thought.

[If I could control a person's blood...I guess I could cause them to bleed to death, right?]

【But... that might be a bit dark. 】

[The opponent's health bar has been drained before the fight even starts...]

Bai Qiuyuan then stopped thinking about it and dispersed the water ball.

Then he grasped a spiritual sword condensed with spiritual power.

Cut the watermelon neatly in an instant!

Bai Qiuyuan used his spiritual power to lift up the cut watermelon and placed it on the bowls and plates he had prepared.

At the same time, Bai Qiuyuan also used his spiritual power to remove all the watermelon seeds.

Just like that! A perfect seedless watermelon dish was born!

Bai Qiuyuan picked up the watermelon, took a bite, and immediately showed a satisfied smile.

[Compared to the modern world I remember, being able to use spiritual power is like having super powers.]

It's so convenient.

[There's an ice storage room here, so we can chill drinks and fruits. I think it'll attract a lot of customers.]

[Let’s build a normal swimming pool in the back mountain later~]

At this time, Han Qianqiu had also finished his training and came to the guest room. He happened to see Bai Qiuyuan eating something and asked in confusion.

"What are you eating?"

Bai Qiuyuan said with a smile.

"Watermelon, chilled by a magic spell. Want to try it?"

As he spoke, he used his spiritual power to pick up a piece and handed it to Han Qianqiu.

Han Qian took the watermelon and took a bite with confusion.

Han Qianqiu: “!”

"So sweet! It even contains some spiritual power? Is this some kind of spiritual fruit?"

Bai Qiuyuan said with a smile.

"Just an ordinary watermelon."

"But in order to grow these watermelons, I had people bury a lot of mid-grade spirit stones underground."

“The water used for irrigation is also spiritual springs.”

"I've designated the vacant land behind the mountain as a farming area. I've planted a lot of crops, and in the summer I can have people sell them."

"Come to think of it, ice is quite valuable in the mortal world, right?"

Han Qianqiu: "..."

"I guess you're the only one in the entire lower realm who can use spirit stones to grow fruit."

Han Qianqiu took another bite of watermelon and asked while eating.

"When are we going back to Tang Miaomiao?"

Bai Qiuyuan took a bite of watermelon, looked at the sun outside, and said.

"It probably hasn't been long over there yet."

"There's nothing to do if you go back too early."

"Let's go back when the sun sets."

"I'll just go back and make dinner then."

"..."

Soon, Bai Qiuyuan seemed to have thought of something. After a moment of silence, he asked in confusion.

"Come to think of it, I've never met your parents?"

"Where are your parents?"

Han Qianqiu took a bite of the melon and said.

"It's buried in the mountains behind Jiange."

Bai Qiuyuan: “?”

Just when Bai Qiuyuan thought that Han Qianqiu's parents had passed away, Han Qianqiu continued to explain.

"My parents can be considered as the ancestors of Jian Ge. Ancestors usually reach the Mahayana stage or are very close to it."

"But when you reach the level of an ancestor, if you want to continue to break through, you must continue to gain enlightenment."

"There is a Dao rhyme left by the great Mahayana cultivators in the mountains behind Jiange."

"Buried in the back mountains, enlightenment can reduce the time it takes."

Bai Qiuyuan: "..."

"So why bury it in the back mountain? Can't we build a cave?"

Han Qianqiu explained.

"When the ancestors attain enlightenment, it's no different from being dead. Some ancestors even die before they are enlightened."

"If we send disciples every day to check whether the ancestor has passed away, it would be a waste of time and manpower."

"So three thousand years ago, a Pavilion Master proposed to bury all the enlightened ancestors in the mountains behind the Sword Pavilion."

"Anyway, if you reach the level of cultivation that allows you to become an ancestor, you can survive for thousands of years down there without food or water, just by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

“So everyone agreed.”

"The ancestor's burial wasn't very deep. With his cultivation, it would be very easy for him to come out."

“After burying it, even if an ancestor dies on the way to enlightenment.”

"There's no need to dig a hole to bury it, just lie down flat."

Bai Qiuyuan: "..." (Eating watermelon)

[So you were also buried in the back mountain before...]

Bai Qiuyuan silently complained in his heart and fell into deep thought.

After taking a bite of the melon, Han Qianqiu continued.

"Jian Ge has existed for thousands of years, and the ancestors have gradually been buried all over the back mountain."

"That's why I said before that what Jiange lacks the least is ancestors."

"If there's something serious that even the Sword Pavilion Master can't resolve, have him go to the back mountain and dig out an old ancestor."

"The ancestor we dug out must have a high level of cultivation and can help Jiange overcome the difficulties."

"If one ancestor is not enough, then dig two."

Bai Qiuyuan: "..." (Eating watermelon)

[It seems that the ancestor is like cabbage in Jiange...]

[No wonder when I asked the Pavilion Master to grant me the title of Ancestor, he readily agreed...]

[No wonder when I was at the ruins, some other sect ancestors expressed their feelings upon seeing me, an ancestor whose name they had never heard of. They weren't surprised at all and didn't intend to ask any more questions.]

[It turns out that they knew too many Sword Pavilion ancestors, and the appearance of a few Sword Masters they had never heard of had become commonplace...]

Han Qianqiu took a bite of the melon and continued.

"There are also disadvantages to burying it."

Bai Qiuyuan: “?”

Han Qianqiu: "People with low cultivation cannot sense the ancestor."

“So every time we dig up the ancestors, even the Pavilion Master doesn’t know whether the ancestors are dead or alive.”

“You’ll only know after you dig it out.”

Bai Qiuyuan: "..."

[Usually, when the ancestor is needed, it is always in a very serious situation.]

[At a time like this, why do you guys act like you're opening a blind box? ...]

Han Qianqiu changed to a piece of watermelon and continued to explain while eating.

"In the history of cultivation, about 1,900 years ago, Jiange declined for a period of time."

"At that time, a group of cultivator families united and planned to attack Jiange together and divide up Jiange's wealth."

"Then the Pavilion Master at that time dug out an ancestor who was above the Mahayana stage."

"That ancestor relied on his powerful cultivation to turn the tide."

"One sword crushed all the invading monks."

"After that, he led Jiange to the top again."

As he said that, Han Qianqiu took another bite of the watermelon.

Bai Qiuyuan: "..." (Eating watermelon)

[Luckily, I planted watermelons, otherwise I wouldn’t have any watermelons to eat while listening to stories…]

[Should I find someone to grow some sunflower seeds someday?]

After Han Qianqiu finished eating the second piece of watermelon, he picked up another piece and continued.

"About a thousand years ago, an old ancestor of Jiange went astray while seeking enlightenment and wreaked havoc in Jiange."

"It took the combined efforts of the Sword Pavilion elders and the Pavilion Master to suppress it."

"But because of that incident, Jiange was severely damaged and declined again."

"Then another aristocratic family of cultivators brought their ancestors to attack Jiange."

"When the survival of Jian Pavilion was at stake, the Pavilion Master at that time unearthed a Mahayana-stage ancestor."

"After the ancestor came out of seclusion, he killed 80% of the cultivators with a single palm strike, and some cultivation families were wiped out directly."

"The remaining 20% ​​of the monks were also directly forced to retreat."

"Since then, all the cultivation families have known a lot about the ancestor of the Sword Pavilion."

"So no one dared to attack Jiange anymore."

Bai Qiuyuan: "..." (Eating watermelon)

【"again"……】

【It would be strange if they would attack Jiange again.】

[I was killed twice...]

Then Bai Qiuyuan noticed something and asked in confusion.

"Hmm? One palm? Isn't that ancestor the ancestor of Jian Pavilion?"

"No sword needed?"

Han Qianqiu was silent for two seconds and then spoke.

"Historical records show that because the ancestor's sword existed for too long, the sword was cultivated into a human-shaped sword spirit and married to the ancestor."

"After that, the ancestor never used a sword again."

Bai Qiuyuan: "..."

The watermelon in Bai Qiuyuan's hand fell onto the table.

[…Isn’t this too exciting?]
