Chapter 584 Spirit Fruit
Cui Xiao nodded: "Qin Lang's 'Five Grains Abundant Harvest Cloud' has put in a lot of effort."
Lu Yang clenched his fist: "Impressive."
Qin Yuan, the eldest daughter of the main branch of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion, asked, "What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing," Lu Yang said. "We'll split into two teams and wander around the area."
So, Cui Xiao and his wife Qin Yuan formed one team, while Lu Yang and his wife Qin Wu formed another team, and they defended the area. The others, suspecting something was amiss, inquired with Cui Xiao and Lu Yang.
Cui Xiao and Lu Yang were very tight-lipped and refused to say a word.
"What exactly happened?" Qin Yuan asked her husband in a low voice.
“Third Uncle and the others are summoning rain,” Cui Xiao said.
Qin Yuan: "..."
"Why would you summon rain in the small space of the Beast Realm?" Qin Yuan didn't understand. "If you want rain, you should go back to the Great Yan to summon rain. There are no crops in the small space of the Beast Realm."
Cui Xiao said, "Don't mention it."
If he told Qin Yuan the truth, she would definitely think he was talking nonsense. The flowers, plants and trees grew wildly in an instant, which was comparable to the magic of immortals. The people of Qin Yanhou's mansion did not have such knowledge.
On the other side, Qin Wu also asked Lu Yang, "Defend against what?"
“Your people from the Marquis’s mansion are summoning rain,” Lu Yang said in a low voice.
Qin Wu was taken aback: "Qin He is here too?"
Lu Yang shook her head: "I don't know."
Lu Yang returned as soon as he saw it was raining. The grass and trees on the ground were growing taller in the wind. No wonder everyone was so focused on cultivating immortality. The immortal techniques were indeed amazing. After a rain, the flowers, grass and trees started to grow.
Lu Yang came from a large family of cultivators, but he was from a branch family and had never seen such a powerful way of summoning rain.
Next, Cui Xiao and Lu Yang led the defense, and everyone paid more attention. At least Qin Yuan and Qin Wu knew what was going on. When Qin Jue and the others couldn't find anything, Lu Yang found them another piece of land.
“There are medicinal herbs here,” Lu Yang said. “Look around.”
Qin Jue was puzzled, but didn't ask any further questions. Everyone stared at the ground, searching for medicinal herbs among the plants. Qin Yuan was still muttering to herself, thinking that she would get more out of it with her sister Qin He.
Perhaps it was because of Qin Bi that Sister Qin He didn't stay with them.
By mid-afternoon, Prince Qin and Qin Tan, who had been summoned together, were extremely excited. Some of the best timber had grown to maturity, and if they were cut down and taken back, it would be perfect for building houses.
The guards and servants dared not make a move, and simply defended themselves on all sides.
Qin Lang looked up at the Little Harvest Cloud with some concern and called to Qin Bi, "Sister, my Little Harvest Cloud has shrunk again. It consumes too much spiritual energy. Don't let it dry up."
"Cousin, Third Uncle," Qin Bi asked, holding a teacup, "Should we end the summoning?"
Prince Qin and Qin Tanchao glanced around and saw that the pear trees were all laden with fruit, each one ripe and fragrant, making their mouths water.
The two exchanged a glance, and Qin Tan said, "End the summoning."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone withdrew the summons.
"My goodness!" Qin Xun exclaimed with delight, looking at the flowers, plants, and trees around him. "Now we have to collect a whole batch. Qin Lang, Qin Bi, hurry up and pick some yellow pears to eat."
Qin Lang quickly put away the weak Xiao Wugu Fengdengyun and called to Qin Bi, "Sister, let's go pick some yellow pears. They smell so tempting. I could smell the aroma of ripe yellow pears just now."
Qin Bi, beaming with joy, followed Qin Xun, with Lin Yao, Qin Tang, and Qin Lang following behind.
Qin Tan said to the Crown Prince Qin, "Let Qin Bi pick them first."
Qin Yan naturally had no objections. The Qin Yan Marquis's mansion relied on the Rong King's mansion, and this summons was Qin Lang's "Five Grains Abundant Harvest Cloud." As the heir apparent, he couldn't very well steal the credit. Qin Tan planned to prioritize Qin Bi's harvest of the spiritual fruits, so he let Qin Bi pick them first. Qin Yan and Qin Xiang, along with guards and servants, cut down shrubs, vines, and bamboo suitable for basket weaving, while Qin Tan and Qin Di, along with their concubine's sons, chopped down sandalwood and other trees. They didn't even have time to dig up the medicinal herbs on the ground.
There's no way around it, we don't have enough manpower.
Qin Bi picked a few of the best-looking yellow pears and gave some to Qin Xun to eat first. Everyone took a bite and found them incredibly sweet.
"Ouch!" Qin Bi said angrily.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yao asked hurriedly.
Qin Bi covered her mouth: "She's biting her cheek."
"Be careful," Qin Tang said.
No sooner had he said that than Qin Lang exclaimed, "Ouch!"
Well, another one biting their cheek. This yellow pear is incredibly fresh, just picked and eaten right away. The skin is thin and crisp, and it's very sweet. Impatient people are prone to biting their cheeks.
After eating the yellow pears, Qin Bi and the others started picking more.
Those with means could tell. The guards and servants cut down bushes and quickly wove baskets, which Qin Yan and Qin Xiang delivered. Qin Bi looked at the overflowing fruit and realized she couldn't pick it all.
"Come quickly and help!" Qin Bi called to Qin Yan and Qin Xiang.
Qin Yan leaped up the tree and quickly picked the fruit, one tree for each person. Once a bag was full, they went down to empty it into a basket. They were still too busy to keep up. There were only a few dozen pear trees in a grove, so these were easier to pick.
It's mainly trees and branches suitable for basket weaving; we're too busy to handle everything.
While picking fruit from the tree, Qin Bi and Qin Yan discussed calling all the young men of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion to come and collect things. After some deliberation, they asked Qin Tan and Qin Xiang, who then went to call the other members of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion.
As soon as Qin Xiang stepped out of the designated area, he encountered Cui Xiao and Lu Yang's teams.
"Go collect things," Qin Xiang said. "We're too busy."
Lu Yang called Qin Jue and the others over. When the group arrived at the place where they had collected the items, they were all stunned, as if struck by lightning. The trees were fine, but the branches and vines were everywhere.
Let's not even mention the medicinal herbs on the ground.
The most eye-catching thing was that grove of yellow pear trees, full of fruit. The bright yellow pears were already ripe, and you could tell how delicious they were even without taking a bite. Qin Yuan swallowed her saliva.
Qin Yan, still a bit naive, asked, "There's such a great place??????"
Qin Xiang and Cui Xiao glanced at her, thinking it was utterly unrealistic. How could there be such a wonderful place? It was created by everyone working together to summon rain. What good place could possibly belong to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence?
Qin Han was overjoyed: "Spirit fruit? Let's pick one and eat it first."
Qin Xiang's face fell: "No, most of these things belong to the Rong King's Mansion. You're only here to help. If you want to do something, then start cutting branches and vines. If you don't want to do anything, then stay out of the way."
Qin Han looked on incredulously: "So many things, all given to the Rong King's Mansion???"
Qin Yan walked over: "You have a problem with that?"
Jiang Mo tugged at Qin Han, her tone becoming more serious: "Qin Han."
Qin Han reluctantly shut her mouth. Qin Yan didn't trust Qin Han and Qin Yuan, so she arranged for them to cut branches and vines, but not to pick spirit fruits. If they picked them and ate them, they would think they belonged to her family.
"Let Jiang Shen go pick the spirit fruit," Qin Han said with a stern face.
Jiang Shen is a child; it would be unreasonable not to give her a spiritual fruit.
Faced with this situation, Lin Yao stepped in to smooth things over: "Miss Qin Han, you can't be impolite just because we're relatives." (End of Chapter)
