Chapter 1559: Chapter 35: Our Home and Rising Experience Value! (Part 2)

"Alright, leave the rest to me!" Ji Mingyue clapped her hands, looking as if she had just finished some busy work.

Then she said, "Now I need to go out and buy something!"

"Do you need me to come with you?" Jiang Ning asked.

"No need!" Ji Mingyue shook her head, "Guangning City is very safe! You don’t need to worry about that."

Jiang Ning nodded.

His nod wasn’t an acknowledgment of Ji Mingyue’s words, but rather a reflection of his own confidence.

With his current speed and the power of his divine thought.

In Guangning City, no matter where he was, his divine thought could unleash considerable power.

With his speed, he could appear in any corner of Guangning City in just the time it takes to breathe.

"If anything unexpected happens, remember to call my name loudly!" He instructed Ji Mingyue.

"If I call your name, will you appear?" Ji Mingyue asked.

Jiang Ning nodded: "I can!"

"Then I’ll remember!" Ji Mingyue nodded.

After that, Ji Mingyue walked out the door with the Immortal Crane.

Ji Mingyue led the way, the Immortal Crane followed behind, its slender legs moving as if gracefully dancing behind her.

After glimpsing at Ji Mingyue a couple of times, Jiang Ning withdrew his gaze.

He then slightly closed his eyes, his heart spirit stirred, instantly enveloping the entire three-section house.

The next moment.

Countless dust particles rose from every room and corner.

Gathering over the house like a dragon, then flew beyond the tall walls.

In just a moment.

The residential area of over a thousand square was spotless in every room and corner.

"This will save Shiqi’s time in cleaning up!" Jiang Ning nodded to himself, satisfied.

Then he headed toward the backyard.

Passing through the front yard archway, then through the three-part courtyard, he crossed a circular archway over a yard wide, and the scene before him suddenly opened up.

The backyard, a bamboo grove of five hundred square feet.

The pond and streams took up about a hundred square.

Since the pond’s source was flowing water, connected to the outer world, even with leaves piled up in the ditches, the pond water appeared exceptionally clear.

Jiang Ning scanned the entire backyard and began cleaning again.

At this moment, his divine thought was like a pair of hands.

In just the time it takes to take a few dozen breaths.

He cleared all the fallen leaves in the pond ditches.

Then came the piled-up silt.

In just a brief moment.

The pond in the backyard was clear to the bottom, leaving only distinct sand and stones, without any accumulated soil.

"How convenient!" Admiring his work, Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction.

Then he looked ahead at the bamboo grove.

Without anyone tending it, the bamboo had grown wildly and become dense, nearly covering most of the corners of the backyard.

In the next moment.

He slightly focused his expression, raised his hand toward the front.

Boom—

The void trembled slightly.

In an instant.

The tall, verdant bamboo in front turned to dust and dispersed.

Blown away by the wind, vanished without a trace remaining.

Using the same method, in just a brief moment, he finished cleaning the backyard.

Leaving only a strip of bamboo grove a yard wide beside the wall, while the other bamboos were all cleared away, revealing the complete five hundred square backyard.

"Not bad!" He nodded again in satisfaction.

The five-hundred-square foot backyard, in his view, was ample for him to experiment.

Because he currently didn’t want to practice cultivation techniques that caused too much noise.

Then, his gaze swept across the panel.

He immediately closed his eyes, his heart spirit sinking into the world within him.

As his heart spirit visualized.

The cool breeze of the beginning of autumn rose, white dew formed.

The autumn wind of late summer swept through fallen leaves like a blade.

The morning dew of white dew congealed into frost.

...

The six major solar terms of autumn were visualized in his mind.

Within his inner world, it seemed as if an autumn wind suddenly rose, countless insights about the cycling of autumn and the killing energy of all things came surging from the void, merging into his mind.

He concentrated with his eyes closed, his aura changing accordingly, initially as cool as early autumn, gradually shifting to the bleakness of late autumn...

The emerald bamboo he left in the courtyard now has fallen leaves gently drifting down.

When they first fall, the bamboo leaves are still green.

By the time they land on the ground, the leaves have turned yellow and curled.

[...]

As time passes, the prompts of experience value growth constantly flash before his eyes.

Accompanying the growth of experience value, his insights into autumn deepen continuously.

Autumn is not just about withering and harvesting; it’s also the point where the breath of heaven and earth transitions from flourishing to decline, from movement to stillness.

...

A long time passed.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Because he saw Ji Mingyue already at the door.

Then, separated by dozens of meters, he heard the sound of Ji Mingyue pushing open the courtyard door.

[Skill]: Autumn Treasure Manual (Perfection 6037/10000)

His gaze swept across the panel, and he immediately closed it.

With this cultivation, the experience value increased by over a thousand points, and he was satisfied.

Since yesterday, after provoking the winter cold, the Cloud Sea Sky Confusing Array was shattered, his appreciation for the conception of the rotational changes of the four seasons grew.

The four seasons’ changes contain the rules of heaven and earth and the ultimate truths of the world.

It’s the law of the universe’s operation.

Glance at a small detail and understand the whole picture.

He was filled with anticipation for the fusion of the four seasons’ manuals, mastering the changes of the seasonal cycles.

...

Front courtyard.

Ji Mingyue appeared with a bamboo basket.

Inside the basket were several kinds of seeds bought from the market, including calendula, morning glory, and a small packet of unknown wild grass seeds.

Most of the other things she bought were carried by the Immortal Crane behind her.

"You’re done?" Seeing Jiang Ning appear, Ji Mingyue was somewhat pleasantly surprised.

"Just finished cultivating, heard your movements, so came to check!" Jiang Ning said.

"No need, no need!" Ji Mingyue waved her hand and continued, "You just go ahead and focus on your cultivation! I’m going to plant some flower seeds in the front courtyard, the ones I like, and they’ll bloom come spring!"

While speaking, she started counting on her fingers.

"After planting the seeds, I’ll sweep, wash the pots, make a fire to cook, celebrate our new home!"

After she finished speaking, she took down a jug of wine hung from the neck of the Immortal Crane.

"See, I’ve already prepared the wine!"

Then she continued counting on her fingers, "After lunch, I’ll clean the room’s sanitary environment, aiming to clean out two rooms for us before nightfall, so we can sleep!"

Watching Ji Mingyue carefully count each step, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but smile, refraining from mentioning that he had already cleaned everything inside and out.

"I’ll help you!" Seeing Ji Mingyue pick up a small shovel to start burying flower seeds, Jiang Ning offered.

"You’re not busy now?" Ji Mingyue looked up at Jiang Ning.

"It’s not urgent for this moment!" Jiang Ning replied.

"Great! Then let’s do it together!" Ji Mingyue nodded enthusiastically.

Then she handed the small shovel to Jiang Ning: "First, loosen this patch of soil gently, don’t harm the earthworms beneath."

Jiang Ning took the shovel, his movements initially a bit stiff, but soon he mastered the force.

The soil in his hands became soft and moist, holding the morning dew’s chill.

Ji Mingyue pointed with her slender fingers, directing Jiang Ning to bury different flower seeds in different locations, and after covering the soil again, Jiang Ning condensed water in the air to pour over the seeds.

After thirty minutes, under their collaboration, all the seeds Ji Mingyue bought were planted into the soil layer.

The soil layer was also firmed again.

"Done!" Ji Mingyue clapped her hands and looked satisfied: "Now, we only need to wait until spring next year, and this courtyard will be filled with my favorite flowers; by then, it will feel like our own little nest."

"Perhaps we won’t have to wait until spring next year!" Jiang Ning said with a faint smile.

"Why?" Ji Mingyue asked.

"Once you finish trimming the plants in the front courtyard, you’ll know!" Jiang Ning replied.

Hearing these words, Ji Mingyue’s eyes suddenly brightened.

"With you saying that, I’m full of anticipation."

"You’ll know soon!" Jiang Ning replied.

Ji Mingyue’s gaze swept over the messy and untidy greenery in the front courtyard.

"This project isn’t simple, and requires a full stomach first!"

"That works too!" Jiang Ning nodded.

"What do you want for lunch?" Ji Mingyue asked.

"You decide!" Jiang Ning replied.

"Then tofu fish brain soup, braised fish, stir-fried meat with winter bamboo shoots, lotus leaf chicken..."

Ji Mingyue listed six or seven dish names in succession.
