Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1644 Mu Nihuang and others leave the secret realm
after an hour.

"Jiang Chen, I never expected you to be like this." Xia Linxi couldn't help but say to Jiang Chen after they left the restaurant.

"Oh, so what kind of person do you think I am?" Jiang Chen looked at Xia Linxi with a smile.

During the hour-long meal, Jiang Chen, like a tiger unleashed from its cage, launched a fierce and relentless attack on Xia Linxi.

“I…” Xia Linxi fell silent.

What kind of person is Jiang Chen?

When she first met Jiang Chen, she thought he was a polite and upright gentleman.

After Jiang Chen mentioned that he had many girlfriends, she felt that Jiang Chen was a scumbag, but an openly scumbag.

But what happened today with Jiang Chen...

Xia Linxi really didn't know how to describe Jiang Chen.

"Don't you think I'm a unique man you like?" Jiang Chen whispered in Xia Linxi's ear.

"You're too narcissistic," Xia Linxi said, rolling her eyes.

"Narcissistic? No, I'm confident." Just now in the private room of the restaurant, Jiang Chen not only ate Western food, but his interaction with Xia Linxi was also unprecedented.

"Humph."

Xia Linxi snorted.

"Lin Xi, there's a hotel up ahead that I've never been to. Would you like to come with me and take a look?" Jiang Chen pointed to the hotel ahead and asked Xia Lin Xi.

“You…” Xia Linxi was very clever and immediately understood what Jiang Chen meant.

Jiang Chen is implying that he wants to go to the hotel with her.

What are we going to the hotel for?
It's naturally that kind of thing.

"You agree?" Jiang Chen continued to ask.

Although he had been cultivating the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Technique with Xiao Qing and An Ning before meeting Xia Linxi, Jiang Chen's heart stirred upon encountering her.

"Did I agree to this?" Xia Linxi was annoyed upon hearing this.

“Your lack of refusal means you agree,” Jiang Chen said without hesitation.

"..." Xia Linxi.

"I didn't..." Xia Linxi couldn't finish her sentence because Jiang Chen picked her up and covered her mouth with his hand.

Xia Linxi stared at Jiang Chen with wide eyes, looking at him with a mixture of disbelief and annoyance.

a long time.

When Jiang Chen released Xia Linxi, she said, "Jiang Chen, why don't you put me down? I don't want anyone to see me."

"So, it's okay for me to hug you when no one is watching?" Jiang Chen understood the meaning behind Xia Linxi's words.

"Of course not." Xia Linxi was both embarrassed and annoyed.

How could she possibly admit it?

She won't admit it.

Yes, they just won't admit it.

Although she wasn't particularly opposed to Jiang Chen's actions, she still hadn't figured out what her relationship with him was like. In short, everything happened so fast today that she didn't have time to react.

"Then let's take a walk." Seeing that Xia Linxi was really getting angry, Jiang Chen put her down immediately.

Xia Linxi ignored Jiang Chen and walked straight ahead.

Jiang Chen watched Xia Linxi's retreating figure, a smile playing on his lips, and then followed closely behind.

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Linxi stopped and looked at Jiang Chen.

Then, Xia Linxi said with a hint of arrogance and rudeness, "Why are you staring at me?"

"What do you think?" Jiang Chen asked in return.

"..." Xia Linxi choked.

“However, even if you don’t tell me, I can tell you,” Jiang Chen said with a light laugh. “I was naturally looking at my wife.”

"Who's your wife?" Xia Linxi retorted with a huff.

"Of course it's you," Jiang Chen chuckled.

"..." Xia Linxi.

"Are you still angry?" Actually, judging from Xia Linxi's appearance, even if she felt uncomfortable, she didn't seem really angry. Otherwise, Jiang Chen would have changed his strategy long ago.

He could use this method to win over Tan Jing back then, so he can certainly do the same to win over Xia Linxi now.

Before Xia Linxi could speak, Jiang Chen came up to her, took her hand, and said, "Linxi, give me a chance to pursue you."

Previous interactions were just him taking advantage of others, but this time Jiang Chen is officially declaring to Xia Linxi that he wants her.

"..." Xia Linxi felt a chill run down her spine.

"If you don't say anything, that'll be considered as your agreement." Jiang Chen looked at Xia Linxi affectionately.

Xia Linxi seemed unable to bear Jiang Chen's gaze and turned away.

Jiang Chen was overjoyed.

At that moment, Jiang Chen stepped forward and hugged Xia Linxi from behind.

Xia Linxi stiffened, but said nothing.

"Lin Xi, I will definitely make you accept me willingly, I promise." Jiang Chen's attitude was firm.

"Jiang Chen, did you say the same thing to other people?" Xia Linxi was referring to Jiang Chen's girlfriends.

"Yes," Jiang Chen admitted.

"You..." Xia Linxi didn't expect Jiang Chen to admit it so directly.

"I've already told you about my situation before. I didn't hide it then, and there's no need to hide it now. Besides, you two are supposed to get along peacefully from now on," Jiang Chen replied matter-of-factly, completely embracing his scumbag nature.

"Do you know how my ex-boyfriend and I broke up?" Xia Linxi meant to tell Jiang Chen that he was just like her ex-boyfriend, so why would she agree to their relationship?

"How could he possibly compare to me?" Jiang Chen understood that compared to Xia Linxi's ex-boyfriend, he was even worse, but being a scumbag was like murder. Killing one person is a crime, slaughtering ten thousand is heroic, and slaughtering nine million is the greatest of heroes. Similarly, being a scumbag is a crime, being a scumbag a hundred is heroic, and being a scumbag nine hundred and ninety-nine is the greatest of heroes.

"..." Xia Linxi thought of many possibilities, but she didn't expect Jiang Chen to say that.

However, Jiang Chen did not continue on this topic, but changed the subject to talk about other things.

Jiang Chen knew that Xia Linxi was studying at Stanford University, and he didn't have much time to come to San Francisco, so he wanted to do his best to get closer to her in the limited time he had.

As for taking the final step?
It's probably very difficult now.

And the facts are just as Jiang Chen said.

Although she compromised with Jiang Chen's repeated attempts to win her over, Xia Linxi suggested going home after they had stayed together for about an hour.

Of course, Xia Linxi's home refers to her residence in San Francisco.

Yes, it's an apartment near Stanford University.

“Didn’t I tell you to stay at Xiao Qing’s place before? Why don’t you go stay there today?” Jiang Chen said.

"No way." Xia Linxi knew about the relationship between Jiang Chen and Xiao Qing. Now that she was going to Hillsborough, she didn't know how to face Xiao Qing.

"Alright then," Jiang Chen said.

"When are you leaving San Francisco?" Xia Linxi asked.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, I just came to visit today." If it weren't for meeting Xia Linxi, Jiang Chen would have left San Francisco long ago. However, after sending Xia Linxi home today, Jiang Chen will return to Shanghai as soon as possible.

"So fast?"

"What, you can't bear to part with me?" Jiang Chen asked.

"No way." Xia Linxi rolled her eyes.

"Lin Xi, what you said hurt me deeply." Jiang Chen looked unhappy. "However, I will definitely come to see you when I have time."

"Who asked you to come looking for me?" Xia Linxi muttered.

“Of course she’s my wife.” Jiang Chen tightened his grip on Xia Linxi’s arm slightly, as if asserting his ownership.

Xia Linxi remained silent and ignored Jiang Chen's rude behavior.

After sending Xia Linxi home, Jiang Chen flew away from San Francisco on his sword.

……

Mulan Hunting Grounds, in front of the No. 1 Secret Realm (the first level 1 Secret Realm set up).

As the closing time for the first secret realm arrived, a portal of light appeared in the sky above the realm.

Following closely behind, Qiu Yan, Ma Zhaixing, Sun Sanniang, Chu Jiuling, Mu Nihuang, Huo Xuan, Cheng Ruoyu, Cheng Xi, Huang Beishuang, and others appeared one after another.

"It's finally out."

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Qiu Yan and the others.

This is an exploration of the No. 1 Secret Realm. It is the first time the Jiang family has sent people into the Secret Realm for exploration, so there are many uncertainties.

"Husband."

Qiu Yan and the others came over when they saw Jiang Chen and his group.

"Are there any casualties?" Jiang Chen asked.

“No one died, but several dozen Star Riders and Eagle Armor Guards were seriously injured, and more than three hundred were slightly injured,” Ma Zhaixing replied.

"So many?" Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that no one had died. However, he couldn't help but be surprised by the number of seriously and lightly injured people.

“The monsters in the secret realm include those with strength close to that of a Martial God,” Ma Zhaixing replied.

"First, settle the wounded and tally the spoils. We'll deal with the rest later," Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Ma Zhaixing and the others nodded. Two hours later, at Daming Palace.

"Husband, these are the spoils from the first secret realm." Chu Jiuling handed a list to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen glanced at it and said in surprise, "So many?"

What resources can you find in the secret realm?
Medicinal herbs, spiritual fruits, inheritances, and demonic beasts, etc.

The purpose of sending Ma Zhaixing and others into the No. 1 Secret Realm was to train troops and search for resources.

The list Chu Jiuling provided now contains a vast amount of resources, especially medicinal herbs—more than the Jiang family reaped from a single trip to another world.

"Because the secret realm only opens once every ten years, we didn't pick the young medicinal herbs, nor did we indiscriminately kill the weaker demon beasts or ferocious beasts..." Mu Nihuang reported the situation of the secret realm to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen also saw the map of the secret realm.

At the same time, Jiang Chen had already merged with his clone, and through the clone's memories, he also learned about the situation of the No. 1 Secret Realm.

“Secret Realm No. 1 is not small. To explore it completely, we will need to go twice more,” Cheng Ruoyu said.

“That’s normal.” Jiang Chen wasn’t surprised.

“Ten years from now, most of us will have broken through to the Martial God Realm, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to enter the Number One Secret Realm,” Sun San Niang said.

"Yes," Ma Zhaixing and the others also felt a little regretful.

“It’s alright, our Eagle Armor Guards will be constantly replenished, so the Number One Secret Realm will be needed someday. Besides, our offspring can also go and explore in the future.” Jiang Chen understood what Sun San Niang meant.

However, there's nothing that can be changed.

After all, the opening time of the Level 1 Secret Realm is already predetermined.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen said, "Next time we go to the secret realm, we can send more people."

For the next two hours, Jiang Chen, Ma Zhaixing, and the others discussed the No. 1 Secret Realm.

The data records of Secret Realm No. 1 have been sealed.

Various medicinal materials need to be processed.

Various monsters need to be dealt with.

"By the way, distribute the rewards to the Star Riders and Eagle Armor Guards as soon as possible."

Jiang Chen thought of storage bags and told the women to distribute them as rewards.

There aren't many storage bags left, and even if there were more, Jiang Chen wouldn't want the Star Riders and Eagle Armor Guards to each have one.

“Husband, the family’s jade boxes are running low,” Luo Shiyi Niang said to Jiang Chen.

The jade box is used to store medicinal herbs and spiritual fruits.

Jade boxes are typically made of jade, a stone with stable chemical properties that makes it unlikely to react with medicinal herbs. The material itself contains no volatile components, preventing contamination of the herbs. Furthermore, the weak magnetic field of jade may stabilize the active ingredients in the herbs, reducing oxidative decomposition. Jade boxes often feature a tightly sealed structure, creating an airtight environment that isolates the herbs from oxygen and moisture, slowing down oxidation, mold growth, and the loss of volatile oils.

Of course, the jade box used by the Jiang family to store medicinal herbs and other spiritual items is subject to restrictions.

For the Jiang family, even the Eagle Armor Guards could easily cast such a low-level restriction.

"First, acquire jade in the First World and the Spirit Realm, then forge jade boxes." Before heading to the Fourth World, Jiang Chen wanted to send someone to the secret realm, so he had to create as many jade boxes as possible.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements in a bit," Luo Shiyi Niang replied.

After arranging various things, it was already afternoon.

Jiang Chen returned to the Mulan Hunting Grounds.

Jiang Chen came to the Mulan Hunting Grounds this time to use the advanced low-grade spirit field transformation map.

Swish swish!
Twenty high-grade low-level spirit field transformation maps have been used.

One advanced low-grade spirit field transformation map can transform 1,000 mu of low-grade spirit fields, and twenty advanced low-grade spirit field transformation maps can transform 20,000 mu of low-grade spirit fields.

"Poetry and Sound, West Lake..."

Jiang Chen said to Lin Shiyin and the others, "Next, we'll plant low-grade spirit rice seeds on these 20,000 mu of low-grade spirit fields. Are the rice seeds ready now?"

“Everything is ready. We just need to cultivate these low-grade spirit fields before planting,” Lin Shiyin said.

"I'll try the soil-turning technique first," Jiang Chen said.

Soil-turning technique is a soil-turning technique passed down in the lineage of first-tier spirit plant masters.

Jiang Chen circulated his true energy and used the Soil-Turning Technique.

With Jiang Chen's strength at the Martial God Realm, he can cover one hundred acres with a single use of the Soil Turning Technique.

However, Jiang Chen used the Soil-Turning Technique extensively, exhausting all his true energy after only one hundred uses.

"Husband, you're amazing." Lin Shiyin and the others were dumbfounded when they saw the 10,000 mu of low-grade spirit fields being turned over.

“I am a Martial God Realm martial artist, but I have exhausted my true essence after a hundred uses.” Jiang Chen shook his head and said, “I will rest and recover first, and then I will turn over the remaining soil.”

"Husband, you..." Lin Shiyin looked at Jiang Chen with some worry.

"Twenty thousand mu is too much. The sooner we plant, the sooner we can harvest." Jiang Chen knew that the Jiang family's storage of low-grade spirit rice was somewhat insufficient. Therefore, if they planted these twenty thousand mu of low-grade spirit rice as soon as possible, they could harvest one million jin of low-grade spirit rice in three months.

"Then I'll go prepare the low-grade spirit rice seeds," Lin Shiyin said.

“Okay.” Jiang Chen nodded, then said to Song Xihu, “Call the people who manage the low-grade spirit fields to come and plant. I want to see how everyone’s first-level spirit plant master inheritance is going.”

"Okay," Song Xihu replied.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the following day that Jiang Chen and his team completed the planting of 20,000 mu of low-grade spiritual fields.

In order to complete the planting of these 20,000 mu of low-grade spirit fields, Jiang Chen consumed a lot of pills and used a lot of spirit stones to recover.

"Farming is really tiring," Jiang Chen said.

“It’s much faster than modern machines,” Lin Shiyin said.

"This requires strength, but the speed is really fast," Jiang Chen remarked with some emotion. With this strength, those modern machines are somewhat outdated: "Taking care of these 20,000 mu of low-grade spirit fields will require a lot of manpower, especially during harvesting; I'm afraid you'll have to handle that yourselves."

“We will learn the spells of the spirit plant master as soon as possible,” Lin Shiyin said.

Song Xihu and the others nodded in agreement.

“Activating a spirit plant master’s spell is actually similar to mobilizing the power of heaven and earth. It’s impossible to succeed without the strength of a Martial King, and the strength of a Martial King is too low to use it for a long time,” Jiang Chen said.

The first-tier spirit plant master inheritance obtained from signing in is an inheritance suitable for the Jiang family's cultivation system, so those spells can also be activated with true qi and true essence.

Currently, in the Jiang family, there is only one Martial God Realm cultivator, Jiang Chen, but there are quite a few Martial Emperor Realm cultivators.

Li Biyun, Si Teng, and others have successively broken through to the Martial Emperor realm.

Their breakthrough was also achieved with a significant investment of resources from Jiang Chen.

Of course, Sito's strength is recovering.

This made Jiang Chen curious about what Si Teng's strength was at its peak.

"Let's settle the mid-grade spirit fields first."

Jiang Chen used the three low-grade to mid-grade spirit field transformation maps.

Soon, thirty acres of mid-grade spirit fields appeared in the previously planned location.

After Jiang Chen recovered his true essence, he took out a thousand mid-grade spirit rice seedlings and planted them in ten acres of mid-grade spirit fields. At the same time, he said to Lin Shiyin and the others, "You should choose to plant the spirit plants that you brought out from the secret realm in these twenty acres of mid-grade spirit fields."

"Spiritual plants brought out from the secret realm? It seems there are quite a few spiritual plants that we don't recognize. Should we plant them too?" Lin Shiyin asked.

“No, let’s plant the spiritual plants we recognize first. If we can’t fill them all, we’ll plant low-grade spiritual rice,” Jiang Chen said.

Planting low-grade spirit rice on mid-grade spirit fields will inevitably result in low-grade spirit rice of higher quality than ordinary low-grade spirit rice.

"Okay." Lin Shiyin nodded.

An hour later, Jiang Chencai, Lin Shiyin, and the others returned to Daming Palace.

"Let's go and rest," Jiang Chen said.

"Okay." Lin Shiyin and Song Xihu nodded.

The next day, Jiang Chen finally got up from his bed.

Yesterday, I used up my true energy several times, and with the addition of using the soil-turning technique, I am mentally exhausted.

"As expected, being a spirit plant master is not easy."

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and got up to wash up.

After leaving Daming Palace, Jiang Chen arrived at No. 1 East Suburb.

“Yang Xiaorou…”

Jiang Chen found Yang Xiaorou and the others.

Yang Xiaorou and others are from the Jiang family's Shangshi Bureau.

"Master of the house."

Yin Ziping, Yang Xiaorou, and the others bowed.

"Let me see you."

Jiang Chen asked Yin Ziping, Yang Xiaorou, and others about their strength.

The reason Jiang Chen asked Yin Ziping, Yang Xiaorou, and the others about their strength was that he wanted them to learn the first-tier spirit chef's inheritance.

At the same time, Jiang Chen took out the Qiankun Qi Pot and gave it to the strongest people.

Therefore, Jiang Chen, Yin Ziping, Yang Xiaorou, and others began to discuss cultivation.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen left East Suburb No. 1.

However, Jiang Chen did not go to Xingchen Group, but instead disguised himself and went to Hengshi Group.

"Mr. Chen."

Tang Lili saw Jiang Chen walk into the office and quickly came to greet him: "You've come at the right time..."
