Chapter 54 Chapter 54 White Snake

When Lu Zhi and her husband returned home, they were still in a daze and immersed in the shock of what had just happened.

There are some things that are more shocking than seeing them with your own eyes, no matter how much you hear about them, not to mention that what they hear is not very good.

After a while, Liu Ji said with a playful smile, "Madam, I heard that you caught the eye of the Imperial Master. Since we are all family, could you recommend me as well?"

Lü Zhi didn't refuse outright, but said, "I've just arrived, and it's time for me to make some achievements. I shouldn't ask for too much."

"Once you've established yourself, don't forget me. Together as husband and wife, we might be able to push that Yun Qiu out of the way."

Liu Ji was a smart man. He would not force her blindly at this time. Instead, he would speak with emotion and as if husband and wife were one.

After years of living together, Lu Zhi certainly knew what kind of person he was. She nodded slightly, but was speechless in her heart.

Some time ago, Yun Bazi was speaking in a very respectful tone, but now he is like Yun Qiu who wants to step on others.

This guy really knows how to strike the snake while it is still under control.

Lu Zhi would not act rashly. For her, gaining a firm foothold was the first priority. No one was stupid enough to exclude dissidents without making any achievements.

Even if the Imperial Master doesn't care, will Miss Yunqiu, who smiles so gently, also not care?

However, Lu Zhi had a vague idea in her mind that she did not tell Liu Ji. She felt that the Imperial Master treated her differently, as if... he had seen her before.

Lu Zhi kept this doubt in her mind and went to the next door early the next morning. The imperial teacher told her to go next door first.

She had gotten up very early, but Zhu Dan wasn't late either. He was having breakfast and waved to her when he saw her coming over: "Eat first, fill your stomach, and then you'll be busy."

Lu Zhi had already learned from Widow Cao about the Imperial Master's arrangements for the workers, so she was not surprised that they had breakfast so early.

She did not refuse, but sat down calmly, and followed the Imperial Master's example by taking the food from the plate next to her and started eating. When she took a bite, she was immediately surprised, how could it be so soft?

Moreover, compared to the tenderness of tofu, it has a toughness that she can’t describe. After eating a few bites, she couldn’t help but speed up and soon ate the filling in the center. This time, she was even more surprised to find that it was meat!

"They're delicious, right? These are meat buns made with wheat flour. Now that the water mill is built, we can finally eat these buns." Zhu Dan smiled.

The satisfaction of staple foods cannot be replaced by other foods.

Lu Zhi nodded vigorously. She had wanted to be more reserved, but Zhu Dan kept urging her to eat more. "The most important benefit of working for me is being able to eat your fill. I won't treat you badly in this regard. Besides, being full will give you more motivation to work with me to grow better crops."

In the end, Lu Zhi ate six big meat buns before she felt full. She was so bloated that she couldn't eat any more.

This was the first time she had such a feeling. Before she got married, it wasn't that she didn't have enough to eat, but she just insisted on eating only until she was 80% full. After she got married... it was no longer necessary.

She was still feeling a little dizzy after eating so much, but when Zhu Dan took her arm and led her to the nursery, she suddenly woke up: "This room is..."

"I made it specially to cultivate seeds in advance. This helps to screen out diseased and weak seedlings. At the same time, because of sufficient nutrition and careful care, the seedlings cultivated tend to grow stronger and have better results when transplanted into the field." Zhu Dan explained briefly.

Lu Zhi had been to the underworld before, so she understood what he said immediately.

"Of course, the most important thing is that I have prepared some secret weapons." Zhu Dan took out the seedling-growing pill refined with Xiahou Ying's luck.

She had tested it in simulation, and with three ample chances, she easily came up with the best ratio.

At this time, he directly ordered Lu Zhi to get busy, dilute the elixir and soak the seeds.

The seeds here were brought back from Xianyang by Zhu Dan in advance. She kept them in Tangyuan's space. Without exception, these seeds had all been treated with Nirvana Pills.

Zhu Dan was not stingy and used it all. Anyway, at the end of the year, Wutong upgraded the bracelet to store more luck, which also meant that Zhu Dan could put more materials into refining a pot of elixir.

So she simply took out all the seeds.

In addition to all the ready-made modified seeds, Zhu Dan also has the remaining Nirvana Pills.

If there are any omissions, they can be modified on the spot.

They stayed in the seedling room for the whole morning, had a quick lunch, and then Zhu Dan took Lu Zhi to other experimental fields.

Seeing Zhu Dan went straight to the ground, Lu Zhi did not dare to act pretentious and quickly followed suit. After all, she was no longer the delicate girl she used to be, so going to the ground was an easy thing for her.

If someone else came, they wouldn't be as easy to accept and as bold as her.

Zhu Dan walked around and compared the various places, feeling rather surprised and doubtful. "Is it my imagination? Why do I feel like the spiritual energy in this area seems to have increased a bit, more concentrated than elsewhere?"

Lu Zhi was a little confused. She didn't understand, but Zhu Dan didn't say this to her, but to Tangyuan.

Tang Yuan gave Zhu Dan an affirmative answer: "Yes, Master, your judgment is correct. The spiritual energy all over the land has really increased. Although the increase is not much, it has increased."

"Is it because this place is close to the mountains and forests?" Tangyuan also began to believe Zhu Dan's words about the outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

However, Zhu Dan himself looked to the side, looking at both Lu Zhi and Lu Zhi's house not far away.

That's right, the experimental field for the growth of spiritual energy that she discovered was right next to Lu Zhi's house, and it was bought from Wang Xun at a high price.

Of course, it was not at the location she had planned to build the workshop, but a little further away, closer to the mountain behind her.

Zhu Dan couldn't help but glance at Lü Zhi again. Lü Zhi noticed and asked cautiously, "Master, is there something wrong with me?"

"I don't know whether it has anything to do with you or not." Zhu Dan was very frank, just like when she faced Zheng Ge at the beginning, she always overestimated herself and underestimated the local natives of Daqin.

At this time, facing a big shot like Empress Lu, even if she was not yet fully developed, she would not lie or play tricks in front of them. That would be like showing off her sword in front of Guan Gong.

"But don't worry, this is a good thing."

After thinking for a while and noticing that Lü Zhi was still a little uneasy, Zhu Dan added, "I may have to trouble you to work overtime during this period. I need to verify some things."

She wondered in her heart, could it be that these people with great luck could attract spiritual energy when farming, making the land indirectly special?

If that's the case, that would be great.

By the way, because the people in Xianyang who provided her with luck were rather special, none of them had ever personally gone to the fields like they were doing in Pei County now.

Lu Zhi didn't say anything. After returning, she started to think about it. She carefully recalled Zhu Dan's every move. That place was her home, but she was not the only one living there. There was also Liu Ji, who had returned recently and was very diligent.

If the good changes in the land were due to him... Lu Zhi thought that after she had established herself, there would be no need to hesitate to sell it to the imperial teacher.

After all, the national teacher can give her something that Liu Ji cannot give her.

Zhu Dan conducted observation and comparison experiments very carefully. After half a month, he found that there was no change in other experimental fields, but the spiritual energy in the land near Lu Zhi's house was increasing little by little.

So it was Lu Zhi who was useless, and the root of the problem still lies with Liu Bang?

Zhu Dan also knew that Liu Bang had recently turned from a social terrorist into a shut-in, and would occasionally show up under his wife's nose under the pretext of delivering something to her.

If we consider their fame, Lu Zhi is naturally no match for Liu Bang. This speculation is reasonable, but why is Zhu Dan so unhappy?

Feeling unhappy, she dismissed this speculation after analyzing it rationally for a while.

It's very simple. If Liu Bang could cause the spiritual energy of a piece of land to increase, he had lived in Pei County for so long that the spiritual energy in Pei County would have revived long ago. How come when he arrived, the county still looked like it was in the Dharma Ending Age?

Zhu Dan had a vague intuition that the growth of spiritual energy might have started recently, and there was a reason that promoted this change.

Zhu Dan became stubborn and wanted to find the reason, so she stopped patrolling other experimental fields and left the matter entirely to Lu Zhi.

She believed in the other party's ability to coordinate, and that nothing would go wrong even if she was not there.

As for Zhu Dan, he devoted all his attention to studying this piece of land.

That day, Zhu Dan once again scanned the land with his spiritual sense, and suddenly he felt something strange.

Her spiritual sense seemed to have captured something, like a living creature?

Zhu Dan was greatly encouraged. Could this be the secret to the growth of spiritual energy in this land?

Because of some spiritual creature?

It's not impossible. Spiritual creatures usually coexist with blessed places with beautiful scenery. It's hard to say whether it is such a blessed place that gives birth to spiritual creatures, or whether the spiritual creatures chase after the blessed place.

Anyway, if it really is a spiritual creature, she must catch it.

The benefits of spiritual objects are much better than plants with spiritual energy.

I don’t know if I caught its trace this time, but Zhu Dan bumped into it again and again. At first, I could only see a shadow, like a long winding strip.

But gradually, the details captured by her spiritual sense became clearer and clearer. Finally, in the first full month after Zhu Dan arrived in Pei County, when the seedlings planted in the field were growing strong in the wind, she caught this thing, which turned out to be a white snake!

The white snake was very small when it was cruising underground, but when Zhu Dan used his spiritual sense to control it, it suddenly expanded and turned from a small and cute white snake into a terrifying python.

Of course, no matter how terrifying his body looks, he is no match for Zhu Dan.

She simply used the glutinous rice balls to trap the thing.

The white snake turned around in Tangyuan, trying to destroy the cage and escape. Tangyuan was not paying attention for a moment and the wall of the tripod was hit, which made a bulge. She was shocked.

Even though the bulge shrank back immediately, a small amount of spiritual energy was used to repair and adjust it, and Tangyuan's face turned ashen.

Ever since she repaired herself with luck, she has never suffered such injustice again. In this Dharma Ending Age, nothing can hurt her.

However, it is just a small snake that appeared out of nowhere, why does it have such power?

"You said this power is a bit like the attribute of luck?" Zhu Dan pondered, "A snake also has luck. Could it be a famous snake in history... I will know who it is later!"

But - Zhu Dan opened her mouth wide, it was hard to put into words.

Isn't that just unofficial history? But in this world, it has become true?
