Ancient trees towered to the sky, their lush branches and leaves twisting and tangling overhead, forming a vast canopy. The straight, flat stone path, combined with the lush greenery above, formed a majestic, natural cave entrance.
The "Mountain Gate" stands on the straight peak of the river, isolated from the world, quiet and peaceful.
In the area on the peak close to the dangerous river, whether it is the mountain on the top of the peak or the uneven road in the gorge, there are spiritual trees and fairy vines climbing on them.
No one would have thought that this paradise-like area was a barren Huangshan ditch just a month ago.
Zhou Yanzhi walked slowly along the ancient tree avenue and entered a shaded corridor filled with the fragrance of fruit, formed by various varieties of grapes climbing and entwining.
Because they were low-level spiritual fruits, the grapes on the vines had already matured after a month of magical nourishment. Furthermore, because of the gentle nurturing of the magic, they remained ripe but did not fall, but simply stood quietly among the lush vines, continuing to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Given the Southern Wilds' climate, the grapevine shade corridor stretched for at least two kilometers. On one side of this two-kilometer-long path lay a hundred-acre vegetable garden of diverse varieties, divided by individual fruit trees, and on the other, a thousand-acre mid-grade spiritual farm of the sect.

"Father, you're back?" Zhou Yan passed by the spiritual rice fields, where his youngest son and daughter were casting the spiritual rain spell on the rice fields.
The climate in the Southern Wasteland is hot. During the dry season, planting water-related spiritual plants requires special care, as one could end up with nothing if not careful.
Just like the thousand acres of spiritual rice before him, which was perfect for planting in this season, if they weren't careful, they would be completely destroyed. The spiritual rice seeds were obtained from the sect, but even that cost a hundred thousand spirit stones. After all, they were medium-high-level spiritual seeds, so the price was already very high.
If they failed, not only would they lose 100,000 spirit stones, but they would also have to pay an additional 500 acres of "taxes".
The children, considerate of their elders, came to help out after their training. Zhou Yanzhi and Xiao Yu simply took charge of the Spirit Rain Technique in the morning and let the children take care of the afternoon.
It is not suitable to water at noon, as it will easily accelerate the death of vegetation.
"Is it almost there?"
"Well, there are only the last 400 acres left." Sibao answered honestly.
Liu Bao waved his hand and said, "Father, please go back quickly, or San Bao will say that you favor girls over boys."
Zhou Yanzhi raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, waved his hand, and a dense spiritual rain instantly watered the four hundred acres of land. "Then let him come to me and talk."
Six Treasures and Four Treasures: ...

"Plop, plop..." Several freshwater spirit fish raised in the rice fields felt the rich spiritual energy in the air and jumped out of the rice fields in order to compete for more spiritual rain. Under the setting sun, the shimmering water light suddenly appeared on their bodies.
Zhou Yaoyao's chubby face was gloomy. She withdrew her gaze from her father's back and muttered seriously to Sibao beside her, "Let's go earlier tomorrow. Father really dotes on his children too much! This is absolutely unacceptable."
The young boy Sibao nodded heavily and sighed, "I don't want to be cannon fodder either!"
Zhou Yanzhi raised the corner of his mouth as he walked home. He had heard about the recent changes of several children from his own children last night.
It is said that the children of several elders and deacons in the sect have a very bad reputation, and many disciples have been bullied by them, and then these people like to talk about them behind their backs.
This was nothing at first, but then a few kids went to watch those arrogant second-generation people who were said to be looking down on others. After watching, they were shocked!
"...They felt that this was exactly the cannon fodder villain from the novel. They also heard that there were several so-called "Sons of Fortune" in the sect before, and that the big villains above these minor villains were all dealt with by the "Sons of Fortune", some dead and some disabled.
Of course, that's not the point. The main point is the rumor that these villains became villains because their parents were sect managers, elders, and other high-ranking officials. Ordinary disciples dared not offend them, and even those of lower status than their families fawned over them. Their families also doted on them. As a result, they were reduced to idiots. "Xiao Yu recounted his children's experiences to his own Mr. Zhou, as if it were gossip. He didn't forget to comment, "As expected, kids are still kids, haha!"
Zhou Yanzhi: "How can they tell that I pamper them?"
Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "Don't you love me?"
Zhou Yanzhi thought about it seriously and said, "It seems not. They have all the homework and exercises they need to learn when they are supposed to. Sometimes they even add more."
"...Is this the benefit of growing up wild?" Xiao Yu thought about what he'd read online, about psychology experts educating parents and caring about their children's mental health. He'd wondered, even though he'd grown up physically different, he didn't seem to have such a fragile mind. Why did these kids feel like porcelain? When he realized he was different, he seemed to be depressed for a while, and after that, he was very reluctant to let anyone know about his differences. As for the rest...
Well, as a poor student, when he was in school, he was always worried about why he was not doing well in his studies; after graduation, he was worried about why he could not make money. If he had endless money, he could just... lie down and relax.
Zhou Yanzhi smiled, "Maybe." Compared to their doting on their four children, even though the four little ones were always by their side, the couple actually had little time to take care of them. In fact, after they were three or four years old (when they were climbing the ladder), the children had to take care of themselves.
Pamper? If giving children a superior life, a rich life and cultivation resources can be considered as such!
☆
A gust of wind with a faint scent of pollen blew in from the mountain behind the cave. Zhou Yanzhi, who was walking on his way home, looked up and saw a small creature sitting cross-legged on something in the air behind the mountain.
