Outside the cabin, there's a kitchen and an open space with a tea table and chairs. Next to it is a lotus pond, creating a picturesque and poetic atmosphere.
There were two dishes and a soup on the small tea table. They were all spiritual vegetables. Sang Jin remembered that Li Jingyu had asked her for some spiritual vegetable seeds a long time ago. Unexpectedly, she ended up getting them for herself.
"Your place is nice. It's prettier than mine." Sang Jin's secret realm was a mess. There was a patch of grain, a patch of vegetables, and spirit beasts roaming everywhere. The only thing that looked somewhat aesthetically pleasing was the palace-like bamboo building her master had left behind.
"What's in that space of yours?" Li Jingyu couldn't help but feel a little curious.
His space was designed based on the suggestions of the female cultivators. He thought she might like it. Sure enough, Xiao Jin liked this kind of environment.
"Li Jingyu, why are you so good to me? So good that I don't know what gift to give you to satisfy you." Sang Jin changed the subject and picked up the rice on the table to eat. She was already starving.
It’s better to fill your stomach first.
"Because I want to be with you." Li Jingyu said what he had been holding in his heart for a long time.
"Haven't we always been together?" Sang Jin had food in her mouth and her words were not very clear.
But Li Jingyu still heard it clearly: "Xiao Jin, I'm not talking about being together now. I mean the kind of being together that allows you to be my immortal partner." After saying that, his face turned red, like the big red lantern hanging at the door during the Chinese New Year.
"Poof—" Sang Jin spat out the rice in her mouth.
This is shocking. It feels so sudden.
"Li Jingyu, do you like me?" Sang Jin asked directly.
"Yeah." Li Jingyu nodded shyly.
"But I'm not mentally prepared yet. I just want to become stronger now. Do you understand?" Sang Jin had never thought about finding a fairy partner for herself.
Faced with Li Jingyu's declaration of love, she frankly and directly expressed her thoughts. Immortal couples are meant to live and cultivate together. It seemed like having Li Jingyu by her side for so long wasn't so bad.
"Xiao Jin, I know. I can wait for you. When you're ready and want to be with me, I'll be here. You don't have to feel too much pressure." Li Jingyu said. He must have been rejected by Xiao Jin. But he wasn't completely rejected. He still had a place in Xiao Jin's heart.
Li Jingyu's face lit up with joy as he thought this. He was one step closer to Xiaojin. He could afford the long wait.
"Well, Li Jingyu, actually I don't hate you, but if I say I want to be your immortal partner, I don't have that kind of feeling for you. Not just you, I don't have that kind of feeling for anyone. Do you understand? If you wait for me, I don't know how long you'll have to wait. Maybe one year, two years, ten years, a hundred years..." After Sang Jin finished speaking, she continued to eat.
"Xiao Jin, it's okay. I don't care. For us cultivators, the thing we have the most is time."
Until the very end, Sang Jin hadn't revealed her secret mountain. That was the greatest support her master had left her. Her first life had made her less likely to trust anyone. Even Li Jingyu hadn't reached that level of trust.
She quickly finished her meal and let Li Jingyu take her out of the space.
"I'm going back to my space to sleep for a while. I'll take the Heavenly Dao Pill when I wake up. I'll try to fully awaken my innate Dao body." Ever since Li Jingyue confessed his love to her, she had begun to treat him as a backup immortal partner. She no longer considered him a fellow patient. Even the way she addressed him had changed.
"Okay." Li Jingyu looked at him lovingly, and disappeared in front of him. He did not enter the space, but sat in the place where Sang Jin had sat before to make the elixir, meditating and practicing.
Sang Jin returned to the palace bamboo building in the secret realm, entered her own bedroom, and fell asleep. She slept for two days in the secret realm before waking up. In the outside world, only a little over an hour had passed.
"You're awake. I hunted some rabbits and roasted them for you. Do you want some?" Li Jingyu knew that her spatial and temporal flow rate was different from his. She would definitely be hungry when she came out.
"Hmm." Sang Jin ate another meal. It replenished her spirit and physical strength. Her spiritual energy also returned to its peak state.
The Heavenly Dao Pill melted in Sang Jin's mouth. Before she could even taste it, it had melted into her body, reaching the white spot deep within her soul sea.
Sang Jin felt her soul sea growing exponentially. Something seemed to be about to break through the water.
"Hua La La——" A small green leaf popped out from Sang Jin's soul sea.
The leaf is in the shape of a four-leaf heart. There is a small drop of crystal water on the leaf.
Could this little leaf be the innate Dao body? Could this constitution be materialized? Sang Jin was puzzled. Anyway, this little leaf looked harmless, so she left it alone for now.
She withdrew from her soul sea and opened her eyes. Her cultivation at the eighth level of Qi Refining showed no signs of weakening.
Isn't it said that once the innate Dao body awakens, it will receive the blessing of the Heavenly Dao and its cultivation level will rise rapidly? Could it be that Master is wrong?
Sang Jin seemed to have forgotten that she didn't reach the ninth level of Qi Refining until her twenties in her previous life. Yet, she had only been in the Southern Wilderness Continent for about four months, and she had already reached the seventh level. With her numerous spiritual roots and numerous secret techniques, she possessed the strength of a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator, capable of competing against even Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"I'm fine. Let's go back to the village first. I don't know what's going on in the village these days." After Sang Jin adjusted her breathing, she pulled Li Jingyu and prepared to go back to the village.
"Xiao Jin, stand still." Li Jingyu was still prepared to hold Sang Jin like when he came.
"Well... I'd better go to your space. Let me out when you get there." Sang Jin avoided his hand. Li Jingyu's hand was empty. He shook his head. Let's take it slow. One day, he would be Xiao Jin's immortal partner.
Li Jingyu took a jade pendant and carved a formation on it, creating a key that allowed him to freely enter and exit his space. Within a few breaths, he had just arrived at Shengdan Village. Sang Jin had emerged from his space on her own.
She went straight to the Sang family's house. Her father was still busy working on the wasteland at this hour. October is the busiest time in the countryside, when everyone is busy with the harvest.
However, the villagers of Shengdan Village were busy clearing wasteland and planting spiritual vegetables. The vegetable seeds were all distributed by the village chief. They said that these spiritual vegetables could be taken to the city and sold to cultivators, fetching a much higher price than ordinary vegetables.
Medicinal herbs can only be planted in the spring of the following year, so after repairing their houses, everyone began to reclaim the land. The village chief said they would later plant magical rice, magical tea, and raise magical animals.
The village chief distributed the spiritual rice to each household for free. Later, those who helped the Sang family raise spiritual beasts and grow spiritual tea were paid two taels of silver per month, with four days off.
Everyone in the village was delighted.
It would be wise to open up more wasteland while we have plenty of time now.
The spiritual rice can be sold and eaten by yourself.
Everyone in Shengdan Village has a happy smile on his face.
