Chapter 106 [The Watermelons of Immortal Mountain Farm...]
[The watermelons from Xianshan Farm are simply a lifesaver in the heat! I'd never been able to buy any vegetables from Xianshan Farm before, but this time I just tried to snag a big watermelon, and I succeeded! After it arrived, I shared it with my parents, wife, and kids. For the next three days, I didn't feel hot at all; it was like my body had become more heat-resistant, or like something was insulating me from the high temperatures.]
I had the same feeling. I even saved the leftover watermelon rinds to boil and drink, and after drinking it, I didn't feel hot for at least a day.
This summer has been unbearable. I was completely listless and had no desire to even go out and buy a watermelon. But after eating this watermelon from Xianshan Farm, I felt like I was revived. While it's still cool, I bought several watermelons from the fruit stand to use as a meal replacement.
[I hereby declare, Li Chang'an, as long as you keep growing watermelons, and grow lots of watermelons, I will follow you for life!]
[This is just a premium watermelon; if it were a spirit-grade one, its effects would definitely be better, right? @Li Chang'an, could you plant a batch of spirit-grade watermelons later?]
[Want a Superior Grade Watermelon +1]
+2
Li Chang'an naturally saw all the comments from netizens.
He replied to a comment from someone who wanted a premium watermelon, promising that he would definitely plant it in six months, then put down his phone and continued working.
Tianxuan made a plan for Jiarong Mountain, and these past two days they have been busy cutting down trees, shaving timber, and making planks.
The trees on Jiarong Mountain were all planted by Jingjing with the help of the mountain god.
He is very experienced. Besides leading the team to deliver packages, he spends the rest of his time planting trees and taking care of saplings.
With his help, the mulberry and fruit tree saplings planted by Li Chang'an and the spirits have grown much taller, now reaching over a meter in height.

It's already late August, and temperatures are rising instead of falling, with many countries and regions in the Cangxuan Realm facing high-temperature disasters.
World leaders have been actively devising solutions, but in the face of natural disasters, there is very little that ordinary people can do.
They still came to the Cultivation Alliance, hoping to ask the cultivation world for help.
The Star Lord of Tianquan among the Seven Stars of the Alliance is responsible for liaising with the leaders of various countries.
He arrived in Ling'an City and found Yuheng.
"The number of people who died from heatstroke this year is several times the total number of people who died in the previous five years."
"High-temperature areas are facing drought, and all the crops in the fields have withered and died. This year's harvest will inevitably be less, and many livestock have also died from the heat."
"The power system is under excessive pressure, and wildfires are frequently breaking out in various places..."
After Tianquan finished speaking expressionlessly, he placed the documents in his hand on Yuheng's table.
"Take a look and see if the Cultivation Alliance needs to get involved."
When the Cultivation Alliance was first established, it served as a guide for cultivators, leading them to adapt to the new social rhythm and find new cultivation methods.
At the same time, they also need to assist various countries in dealing with monster attacks and monster rifts, as well as manage the major and minor sects in the cultivation world and prohibit private battles between sects.
Although it has been difficult for cultivators to advance to the Golden Core stage over the past few thousand years, they have been stuck at the Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining stages, which is not considered particularly impressive.
Even so, if these cultivators were to gather and fight, they could cause considerable damage to a town.
Apart from these related matters, the Cultivation Alliance rarely interferes in the affairs of various countries, and the various countries also do not often interact with the Cultivation Alliance. Whatever happens, they handle it themselves or seek help from sects funded by their own country.
Therefore, upon hearing Tianquan's words, Yuheng was somewhat puzzled: "Why did they turn to the Alliance for help this time?"
You've hit the nail on the head.
Tianquan paused, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and said, "There aren't enough cultivators, and the strength is insufficient."
A very simple answer.
Apart from the three major sects, the other sects only have a few hundred people. Currently, more than seventy countries of all sizes are suffering from drought. Some small countries have no sects at all, or very few cultivators and insufficient strength, so they can only seek help from the Cultivation Alliance.
Yuheng picked up the document. "This concerns the people of the Cangxuan Realm, so the Alliance will naturally not sit idly by."
This means they want to get involved.
Tianquan nodded. "In that case, I will go back and inform the other countries."
"Mm." Yuheng nodded and watched Tianquan leave.
The office fell silent as Yuheng looked at the documents in front of him, lost in thought.
This seems like a great opportunity...
The following day, the leaders of various sects held a video conference with the Jade Balance Star Lord via the internet.
That evening, when Xie Kuling went to Xuanling Immortal Mountain and handed over the list of disciples who would be delivering the package to Li Chang'an, he casually mentioned the meeting.
"The Jade Balance Star Lord intends to reform the cultivation system, encouraging disciples from all sects to step out and not just stay within their sects to practice, but to engage more with the lives of ordinary people and use their abilities to help them."
Li Chang'an paused for a moment, then said, "That's a great idea."
Similar to how he formed a delivery team, his intention was to provide opportunities for the sect's disciples to gain experience.
Moreover, there has always been a distance between cultivators and mortals before this, with some prejudice or misunderstanding between them. It would be good to take this opportunity to get to know each other.
Xie Kuling smiled and said, "Some sect leaders don't think that way."
The Jade Balance Star Lord intends to open up registration on the Fangcun platform. When ordinary people encounter difficulties, they can seek help on the Fangcun. The staff of the Cultivation Alliance will be responsible for reviewing these requests. Once it is determined that the matter can only be resolved by cultivators, it will be posted on the Fangcun. Other cultivators can then receive the task and earn points upon completion. These points can be exchanged for magical artifacts, pills, and various materials from the Cultivation Alliance.
It's similar to playing a video game.
However, some sect leaders believe that if this happens, are the sect disciples still sect disciples? How are they any different from the rogue cultivators who were previously under the management of the alliance? They further suspect that Jade Balance Star Lord wants to abolish their sects and put all cultivators under the control of the Cultivation Alliance.
Li Chang'an said, "If our disciples can exchange for rare and precious materials in the alliance, why don't the sect leaders agree?"
Xie Kuling: "These sect leaders are worried that when the alliance's natural treasures run out, the cultivation alliance will use the effectiveness of reforms to force the major sects to contribute their natural treasures."
Listening to their conversation, Tianxuan suddenly smiled and shook her head, saying, "With the Seven Stars of the Alliance around, it's impossible for the Alliance to run out of natural treasures. This is just a pretext."
With the power of the stars, Yuheng, with a single wood spiritual root, can cultivate a plant to a quality approaching that of a spiritual grade. Yaoguang, with a single fire spiritual root and a different kind of fire, is skilled in crafting weapons and alchemy, and her output is very stable.
Not to mention Tian Shu, who has the deepest perception of the power of stars and is skilled in spatial magic, enabling him to open spaces to find more materials from the demon realm or the deepest underwater ruins.
"Most of the sect leaders are around one hundred or even two hundred years old. If they haven't broken through to the Golden Core stage by the time they reach two hundred, then they will die of old age."
"They are influenced by ideas from a hundred years ago, and they are outdated. Now they are stuck with no way to break through, but they can't compete with the younger generation for opportunities, so they refuse."
In other words, they were unwilling to accept it, but they couldn't bring themselves to do it.
Li Chang'an suddenly felt relieved and said with certainty, "The reforms of Lord Yuheng will succeed."
Xie Kuling nodded and smiled, "He later said that since the disciples of the sects do not intend to participate for the time being, then they should start with the independent cultivators. It just so happens that more than seventy countries are currently affected by the high temperature disaster, so he will send independent cultivators to provide assistance first, and each person will receive points according to their contribution."
Once they see that the independent cultivators have gained real benefits, how could the various sects not be tempted?
By then, the number of monks participating in the reforms will certainly be increasing.
Li Chang'an pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What is the current cultivation level of our Qingfeng Sect disciples?"
Over the past six months, the disciples of the Qingfeng Sect have participated in delivering packages five or six times, exchanging some immortal rice with him.
Xie Kuling understood Li Chang'an's meaning and said, "Even the six-year-old disciples who just joined the sect this year have at least the cultivation level of Qi Refining Stage 2."
The Qingfeng Sect opened its gates in March to recruit new disciples aged six, and only five months have passed since then. It is already quite remarkable that they have already reached the second level of Qi Refining.
Li Chang'an responded with an "Oh".
Xie Kuling looked at him and asked, "Are you thinking of sponsoring Immortal Rice for the Cultivation Alliance so that cultivators can exchange it?"
Li Chang'an nodded, not hiding anything: "Yes. Don't worry, Star Lord will definitely not take advantage of this for nothing, I won't suffer any losses."
