As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 786 Heading to the Thunderclap Region

Jiang Ran then summoned her officials to contact the pharmacists and alchemists in the county. After explaining the current situation in Leiguang, she ordered them to develop the herbal medicine to attract pests as soon as possible.

After giving her instructions, Jiang Ran said goodbye to Li Fusheng and secretly flew to Cangwu Island. Using the island's rich spiritual energy, she summoned Mo Sheng. The two of them looked at each other and prepared to break through to the Peerless Heavenly Realm.

On Cangwu Island stands a precipitous mountain range with a rushing river. Two-thirds of the island is a vast plain. Jiang Ran chose to cultivate in seclusion in the place where Da Hua's family had previously stayed. To her left is a magnificent, towering stone wall, and to her right is an ancient and majestic giant ape statue that silently watches over the human and wolf as they stop here.

Jiang Ran and Mo Sheng's gray and blue eyes met. The three or four months of sailing had deepened their understanding of each other and made their feelings for each other stronger. She gently stroked the black wolf's fur, as if she were seeing the weak and helpless wolf cub from back then.

Mo Sheng didn't shy away this time. He lay down, prostrated himself on Jiang Ran's lap, and closed his eyes to enjoy his master's comfort.

"Break open your 'eggshell,' and use your spiritual power, spiritual energy, and even bloodline to merge with mine, and rebuild the nest." Jiang Ran and Bai Mei had already broken through to the Peerless Heavenly Realm, so they were still quite at ease.

This process is natural and inevitable, a process of breaking down and rebuilding. Both parties cast aside distractions, absorb the scattered spiritual energy of heaven and earth and condense it within their bodies. Several different forces, like unrelated rivers, converge at a certain point, surging and colliding, before merging and converging into a single river.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, its light flickering in and out.

After several days, the 'eggshell' completely shattered, and the flames of Mo Sheng's nest seemed to be reborn. With a blue base, they were tinged with fiery white and emerald green. The dancing tail flames carried a gentle power, spreading in all directions like intricate tree roots, or like blood vessels. Mo Sheng took a breath, and the gentle and harmless spiritual energy belonging to its master flowed into its body continuously.

"Awooo..." Mo Sheng raised a paw, and a ball of flame emerged from the paw. Its heterochromatic eyes flashed with a sense of novelty. At this moment, it felt its body was full and its spiritual energy was more abundant than ever before. It was as if it could unleash even the most powerful moves without tiring its body.

The feeling was so wonderful and captivating that Mo Sheng couldn't help but look up and howl at the sky: "Awoo—"

In another spirit realm, the white dragon covered its ears with its claws, turned over, and continued sleeping.

"..."

This is the benefit of the Peerless Realm: contracted beasts can receive spiritual energy support from their masters.

As the sun rises in the east, it resembles a magnificent wall sculpture, while the peaks of Cangwu rise majestically into the clouds, covered with towering trees. A misty haze hangs in the air, the valleys are deep and secluded, and colorful birds sing, creating an atmosphere seemingly far removed from the mundane world, allowing one to experience the unique coolness and tranquility of the primeval forest.

Jiang Ran opened her eyes and carefully sensed the changes in her body. With a thought, she clenched her fist, and a ball of dark fire surrounded it. Then, the dark fire seemed to be blown by the wind and swayed, and a continuous stream of emerald green fire surged from her fist.

Jiang Ran loosened her fist, her left palm transforming into a blade, and gently made a cut on her right hand. She saw green flames lick the wound, immediately smoothing it out.

"Let's go back." Jiang Ran got up, stretched, took a step, and sat sideways on the back of the tall, tiger-like Mo Sheng.

The black wolf wagged its tail, leaped up, and flew past as if riding the clouds, carrying Jiang Ran with it.

...Within Suhong Academy, there are five people who often gather together and have an excellent relationship. They are jokingly called the Suhong Prodigy Five. They are Hu Lian, Tu Shi, Jian Bai, Li Qinqing and Hu Yi.

Of the five, only Hu Yi remained at Suhong Academy; the other four graduated and went their separate ways.

Hu Lian went to the Xuanjia Navy and signed a contract with a Hundred Rivers Blue Whale. Because of his outstanding performance at sea, he first performed exceptionally well when he went to sea with the Prince and was commended by the Prince. Later, he killed a ferocious sea monster that attacked the Dasu fishing boat and protected ordinary fishermen, and was commended by his superiors. Now he is a junior general leading a hundred Xuanjia soldiers.

Jian Bai joined the Divine Strategy Flying Cavalry. He was very lucky; the Flying Cavalry had only been established by the Great Su for a short time, and he became one of its leading figures as soon as he joined.

Although the title of Commander of the Flying Cavalry Army is currently vacant, everyone can see that, having contracted two flying-type beasts, if nothing unexpected happens and no more powerful spirit beast master is parachuted in, he will one day be able to sit in a high position once time erases his naivety and he gains certain experience.

Li Qinqing became a mercenary in the Mercenary Guild, focusing on cultivation and alchemy. When she needed money, she would go to the Mercenary Guild to find a suitable job.

Tu Shi passed the written examination smoothly and became a minor official in the Ministry of Rites. As a new official, he washed away all the honors and pride he had during his time at Su Hong Academy, and continued to cultivate his character while learning how to conduct himself and how to speak eloquently.

I've been with the company for five months.

Half a month after His Highness left the pass with his contracted wolf beast, he was given tens of thousands of bottles of Qingxiao brand "Insect Repellent Pills" and travel expenses, and was ordered to go to Leiguang Land to sell these insect repellent pills.

His Highness the Prince said, “The city is currently in dire need of reconstruction. The construction of city walls, roads, and water conservancy projects has cost a great deal. Even with the officials practicing frugality, it is still a drop in the ocean, and the granaries are in short supply. We should immediately seek new ways to make money. It is said that the land of Leiguang is plagued by insects, but fortunately, a capable person from Dasu has created an insect-repelling herbal elixir. If we seize the opportunity to sell the herbal elixir in Leiguang, we can alleviate Dasu’s financial crisis.”

The reason this task was assigned to Rabbit Stone was because of his cultivation level, which allowed him to protect himself even in the chaotic Thunderclap Land.

This matter concerned a major event and presented a rare opportunity to make a contribution, so Tu Shi naturally accepted the task without hesitation.

Surprisingly, the one who refined the Azure Sky Insect-Repelling Pill was Li Qinqing, an acquaintance of Tu Shi.

When acquaintances meet, the atmosphere is naturally harmonious. A hint of surprise flashed in Rabbit Stone's red eyes, and he couldn't help but say, "It's been a long time. I didn't expect that the alchemist praised by His Highness the Prince is you."

Li Qinqing looked Tu Shi up and down, her gaze falling on his official robes. She teased, "Clothes really do make the man. Wearing this official robe, I'm almost intimidated by your official authority!"

There were actually several deworming medicines submitted to the government, each made by a different pharmacist and alchemist.

Ultimately, Li Qinqing's insect repellent pill, which had the lowest cost and the best efficacy, won out and was bought by the government and sent to Leiguang.

On this trip, Li Qinqing, a pharmacist, was also very concerned about the efficacy of the insect repellent pill and whether it could drive away the pests in Leiguang Land. Therefore, she volunteered to go with Tu Shi.

Accompanying them were several military guards, all of whom were around the Spirit Gathering Realm. The group, accompanied by a carriage, first took a teleportation array to Mingxiao City.
