"Baby, do you know how to grow spirit grains?"
"certainly!"
After being fooled by Rong Xi, Bao Bao's attitude towards Rong Xi changed drastically. She no longer acted like a haughty and arrogant baby when facing Rong Xi's questions.
"To cultivate spirit grains, one first needs spirit fields. Then, the grower must master a basic technique called the Cloud and Rain Technique. Only with this technique can one infuse the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the rainwater, thereby ensuring the growth of the spirit grains!"
"Baby, do you know how to summon clouds and rain?"
"Of course, how could I not know such a basic spell?"
The baby is being arrogant again.
However, this time, before Rong Xi could even speak, it took the initiative to teach her the art of summoning clouds and rain.
This technique is indeed simple!
The baby only demonstrated it once, and Rong Xi mastered the technique.
The art of summoning clouds and rain was the signature skill of the Dragon King in ancient legends. In today's view, it's truly a minor trick. Of course, for a cultivator to use the art of summoning clouds and rain over a large area is clearly impossible.
After asking the baby about the planting method of the spirit grain, Rong Xi entered the blessed land given by the system.
"Earth Split Technique, activate!"
"Windwalker, let's go!"
"Earth-Covering Technique, Level!"
Using techniques to cultivate the land results in exceptionally high efficiency.
With the Five Elements Body, she could master all the Five Elements techniques. Rong Xi felt that such a life was definitely a cheat code.
Granny Rui, Granny Xiang, and Sun Heming brought back nearly fifty catties of spirit rice seeds, which Rong Xi planted on almost thirty mu of land. This was only possible because the blessed land was large enough; otherwise, Rong Xi wouldn't have been able to afford such a large-scale operation.
Of course, not all fifty catties of spirit rice seeds were used up; after all, some had to be kept for personal consumption.
As for the cubs of spirit beasts, after the bloodline concentration was determined by the baby, nearly half of the so-called cubs were kept and became discarded.
Even with professional training, the chances of these spirit beast cubs awakening their spirit beast bloodline are extremely low. Unless they obtain some extraordinary opportunity, there's a 90% chance they'll regress into ferocious beasts when they grow up.
The flesh and blood of ferocious beasts are good food, but for Rong Xi now, they are somewhat beneath her.
“Master, actually, you can let these little beasts fight and devour each other, which may produce spirit beast cubs with stronger bloodlines, and there is even a certain chance that a more powerful bloodline will emerge!”
Seeing that Rong Xi was a little disappointed, the baby took the initiative to remind her.
"Isn't this almost the same as raising poisonous insects?"
"For ferocious beasts to grow, they are essentially being raised like 'gu' (a type of insect). For cultivators to transcend, they are also being raised like 'gu'. Opportunities are limited, resources are limited, and to transcend, one must fight and scramble!"
"The way of Heaven and Earth is nothing but struggle!"
The baby had his hands behind his back, looking like a hermit.
Rong Xi looked up at it with an expression of admiration. Although the baby was just a little kid, as the spirit of the grotto-heaven, what it knew and mastered was far beyond what any cultivator could compare to. After all, every grotto-heaven had once been home to a powerful force.
However, as time passed, some unknown changes occurred, which led to the abandonment of this blessed land until a new cultivator found it.
Rong Xi didn't ask about the baby's past, but that didn't mean she wouldn't try to guess.
All that matters is fighting!
Rong Xi did not allow these small beasts to kill and devour each other. It was not because she was soft-hearted, but because she had people buy so many spirit beast cubs and spirit rice seeds, and suddenly they all disappeared, which inevitably made people feel strange.
As for now, although it still feels a bit off, who cares?
After leaving the blessed land under her control, Rong Xi quickly returned to the Fourth Prince's residence.
Before she had even had a moment to finish drinking a cup of tea after returning to the mansion, Magpie rushed in to report to Rong Xi that Consort Song and Consort Li were requesting an audience.
"Annoying!"
Upon hearing that Consort Song had come again, and had even brought Consort Li along, Rong Xi felt extremely annoyed.
But it wouldn't do to avoid seeing them. With the Fourth Prince away, she naturally had to make the decisions about things in the mansion.
"Let them in!"
Rong Xi sat in the chair and spoke in a cold voice.
"yes!"
The magpie responded and quickly went out.
Before long, footsteps sounded, and Magpie led Consort Li and Consort Song in.
"This humble servant greets Your Highness, and pays her respects!"
Consort Li entered the room and bowed respectfully to Rong Xi. Although Consort Li had been promoted to the rank of Consort, she still appeared extremely respectful, humble, and cautious.
With such an appearance, Consort Li inevitably gives the impression of being a truly harmless and innocent girl.
However, the more Consort Li acted this way, the more Rong Xi felt that this person was difficult to deal with.
Having read many stories about time travel during the Qing Dynasty, she has seen many female protagonists who don't compete or fight for anything, yet somehow manage to create trouble and attract the attention of the Fourth Prince.
Sometimes, Rong Xi wondered just how leisurely the Fourth Prince must be to wander around the mansion all day and still be distracted by those unambitious concubines.
However, nowadays, she truly doesn't compete or fight for anything.
Although Empress Ulanara was rather incompetent, she still managed to leave Rong Xi with a child. In the Qing Dynasty, wasn't it always the mother's status that rose with her son?
She now has a son and lacks nothing.
As for the Fourth Prince, that big jerk, he can do whatever he wants, and the women in his backyard are entirely up to him.
Yes, whatever he likes!
Rong Xi looked at Consort Li, who was bowing to her, and suddenly felt enlightened.
Whether it's Consort Song, Consort Li, or the women who might enter the Fourth Prince's residence in the future, what impact will it have on her? She already has a son, and she's even capable of cultivating herself. She has so many things to do; who has the time to fight over a big pig's trotter?
"No need for formalities!"
With a sudden realization, Rong Xi looked at Consort Li with obvious delight.
Consort Li noticed Rong Xi's gaze and was startled. She had never seen such joyful eyes before, especially since it came from a consort.
"This humble servant greets Your Highness!"
Song Gege also stepped forward to greet her.
"No need!"
Rong Xi was in a great mood and didn't bother arguing with Song Gege.
"Madam, this concubine..."
"Don't speak yet!"
Rong Xi raised her hand, interrupting Song Gege, "How to deal with you should be decided by this Fujin (the Princess Consort). However, after thinking about it, why should women make things difficult for each other? Let the Prince decide this matter when he returns!"
Rong Xi has now made up her mind that she will not care about any problems that arise among the women in the Fourth Prince's harem, and will simply leave them all to the Fourth Prince.
As for your question, why?
Is there even a question?
Let go of the burden!
Moreover, the reason is quite good: these women are all your fourth prince's women, so why don't you care?
