Chapter 404 Dig a River



Looking at the peach tree in front of her, Lin Qing happily poured five bottles of spirit-grade nutrient solution next to the peach tree.

Peach Tree:

The spiritual fruit of the cultivation world is said to grow in the Peach Garden and be carefully cultivated by the Peach Fairy.

The peach tree is tall and straight with lush branches and leaves. It flowers once every two hundred years and bears fruit once every three hundred years. The fruit is brightly colored and has a fragrant aroma. Each fruit can increase one's lifespan by 50 years, making it one of the most beloved immortal fruits among cultivators in the cultivation world.

Flat peach: 134 years until the fruit blossoms.

Flat peach: 124 years until the fruit blossoms.

Flat peach: 114 years until the fruit blossoms.

Flat peach: 104 years until the fruit blossoms.

Flat peach: 94 years until the fruit blossoms.

Lin Qing couldn't stop smiling as she looked at the series of system notifications.

"Brother Nanxun, there are only 94 years left now. With another ten bottles of spirit-level nutrient solution, the peaches will be ripe."

Lin Qing turned around and hugged Gu Nanxun's arm, saying happily.

Gu Nanxun reached out and hugged Lin Qing, a bright smile appearing on his lips. Seeing Qingqing so happy made him very happy too.

"Once the third phase of the mission is completed, there will probably be a nutrient solution reward. I hope there will be several rounds of this kind of mission!"

Lin Qing nodded emphatically, "It definitely will, Brother Nanxun, you've always been very lucky!"

Gu Nanxun reached out and ruffled Lin Qing's hair, asking with a smile, "What about the Space Expansion Stone and the Marrow Cleansing Pill? What are your plans?"

Lin Qing thought for a moment, then said, "Why don't we give them to the children? We can give one to each of my uncles, and then one each for spring, summer, autumn, winter, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. You can decide on the rewards?"

Gu Nanxun nodded upon hearing this, "I thought you would give it to your parents or my parents."

“I have thought about it, but I’m worried that their bodies can’t handle it, and I don’t know how to explain it. The children are still young and easy to fool. My uncle and Uncle Bai Li know about our situation, so I can give it to them without worry. As for spring, summer, autumn, winter and wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, we have signed a contract, so we are not afraid of them betraying us. It’s just that it’s not easy to deal with our parents.”

After hearing Gu Nanxun's words, Lin Qing said with a worried expression.

Gu Nanjun reached out and rubbed Lin Qing's head, smiling as she comforted him, "It's alright, it doesn't matter if we don't give them any. We'll give them more food from our space, spiritual spring water, and the ginseng pills you made. They can still live longer. Besides, we also have dragon scale fruit. As for the older brothers, with the cultivation techniques we gave them, they are already far more outstanding than their peers."

"Yes, you're right!"

Lin Qing laughed again upon hearing this.

"Host, Master, have you ever thought about what would happen if all your family members lived long lives...?"

The system didn't finish its sentence, but Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun understood its meaning and exchanged a glance.

"What can we do? We can't just have something that can extend lifespan and then not give it to our family!"

Lin Qing said with a look of annoyance.

Gu Nanxun thought for a moment after hearing this, "It's not impossible. When they reach the age, we can fake their deaths, then go abroad again and get a new identity. Or in a few years, I can buy a small island abroad and we can move there."

Lin Qing smiled and asked, her eyes lighting up, "Your idea is excellent. We'll go abroad first to get legal status, then give them the Marrow Cleansing Pill, which will make them younger. Then we'll go back to China and get legal status. Wouldn't that solve everything? Does that mean we can live forever...?"

Lin Qing thought with shining eyes.

"No, host. For mortals who have not cultivated, even if they consume something that increases lifespan, the increase in lifespan is limited and cannot be unlimited."

After hearing Lin Qing's words, the system couldn't help but interrupt.

"Oh, I see! So, how many years of life can it add?"

Upon hearing the system's words, Lin Qing couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment. After the disappointment subsided, she couldn't help but ask again.

"The increase in life expectancy for each person is between 30 and 50 years, but will not exceed 50 years."

"Alright then! It's better than nothing."

Lin Qing said disappointedly. Although she was disappointed, she was not greedy, after all, it was already very good.

"System...Use Space Expansion Stone!"

Lin Qing was silent for a while, adjusted her emotions, and then continued to speak happily.

"Ding... Space Expansion Stone successfully used, space area increased by two thousand square meters."

Looking at the newly added 2,000 square meters of space, Lin Qing directly opened the space's system panel. Each time a new area is added, the space can be adjusted. Lin Qing moved the fields, orchards, feed mills, and other buildings back a bit, then expanded the area where she lived, and finally cleared a space in front of the house.

"What do you intend to do with this empty space, Qingqing?"

Looking at Lin Qing's layout, Gu Nanxun asked curiously.

“I want to dig a river in front of the house so that we can live next to the river.”

Lin Qing replied with a smile.

"Hmm, not a bad idea. But the current area isn't big enough. If the area were big enough, we could dig out a sea area, and then we could buy a yacht and go out to sea."

Lin Qing's eyes lit up upon hearing this, "Then let's dig a river first, and when the area is big enough, we'll dig a sea!"

Lin Qing happily made plans, completely forgetting the unpleasantness from before.

"Okay!" Gu Nanxun looked down at Lin Qing with a gentle expression.

Next, Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun took turns using their minds to dig a river in front of the house that was 2000 meters long, 1000 meters wide, and 20 meters deep. But at this moment, the river was dry, without a drop of water. What they needed to do next was to find a spring and let the water from the spring fill the river.

"Oh no, Brother Nanxun, is there a spring in our space?"

Suddenly, Lin Qing thought of something. She patted her head and said with a look of annoyance.

Gu Nanxun reached out and pulled Lin Qing's hand away from his own head, then said with a smile, "You don't need to pat your own head like that!"

"I was in a hurry! I only remembered after we had finished digging."

Lin Qing pouted shyly and said.

"Don't worry, there is. I asked the system, and it said there is groundwater underground in the space."

"Really? When did you ask?"

Lin Qing's eyes lit up as she looked at Gu Nanxun with adoration.

"I asked you that when you were about to dig the river."

Gu Nanxun smiled and patted Lin Qing's head.

"That's strange. I heard that in ancient times, water would appear after digging a well 10 meters deep. We've dug 20 meters, but we haven't found a spring yet!"

Lin Qing looked puzzled upon hearing this.

"Perhaps the spring in this space is quite deep!"

Gu Nanxun said with a smile.

Lin Qing didn't think much of it when she heard this. She trusted her brother Nanxun. Since he asked if it was true, it must be true. It was just a matter of degree.

"How's the water flow in the underground river? Is it enough? Won't it fill up the river we dug?"
