As a lord, I was forced to farm

After returning to Dasu, Jiang Ran first went to Xiabo and told Da Hua's family about buying the blue bricks.

Da Hua hugged Jiang Ran tightly, "My friend, you're so kind!"

Jiang Ran smiled and nodded.

She already felt a little guilty that Da Hua had been so considerate in helping her move out of Cangwu Island, so she should also put some effort into Da Hua's house.

Take out several design drawings, about the style of their palaces, the drawings came from various painters in Dasu.

There are fifteen drawings, each with a different style.

"Which one do you like?" Let Da Hua choose.

Da Hua tilted her head and looked around for a while before pulling out one from the middle and handing it to Jiang Ran. "This one, Da Hua likes this one!"

Jiang Ran looked down and saw a castle with a very primitive feel, very wild. But she felt that Da Hua had her eye on a giant ape statue in the design, since that giant ape statue had thick hair and a face that fit the aesthetic of apes.

However, since Da Hua was willing, Jiang Ran naturally had no objections. On the contrary, she praised Da Hua's aesthetic sense, saying it had a very distinctive Da Hua style.

"Hehe." Da Hua scratched her head sheepishly.

"Are there enough spirit crystals, my friend?" Big Flower worriedly grabbed Jiang Ran's hand and pointed to the frolicking Little Purple and the others. "Not enough to keep the little ones busy."

Jiang Ran: "..."

“Mo Sheng wants to spar with them again, let them play together,” Jiang Ran called Mo Sheng out.

Since entering the Peerless Realm, Mo Sheng has received Jiang Ran's vast spiritual power and has always been very eager to fight. He has given the guards of Da Su a hard time, but they are no match for him. Da Hua's three children are a good sparring partner.

Big Flower got angry when this was mentioned. Little Purple and the others couldn't even beat him in a three-on-one fight. "Hmph, useless brats, we must win this time!"

"Roar!" came the aggrieved voices of Little Purple and Little Brown from behind. "Roar! You couldn't even beat the hairless two-legged beast yourself!"
The sounds of collisions echoed across Xiabo Island as Mo Sheng and the Eight Giant Apes fought fiercely. With an ancient dictionary in mind, Jiang Ran went to the location of the four stone walls.

"...Sacrifice..., water is clear every day..., wine is poured every day..." Jiang Ran read the contents of the text intermittently. Just as she had guessed, one of the stone walls recorded an ancient sacrificial ritual. It involved mixing a kind of spiritual spring wine with the blood of several powerful magical beasts into a cauldron. This was believed to help children strengthen their bodies and gain the power to resist ferocious beasts.

Jiang Ran memorized the formula. Even if it wasn't complete, it didn't matter. She could experiment slowly and perhaps one day achieve a satisfactory effect. "The Qi family alone has nearly a third of the ancient Chinese dictionary. Perhaps other powerful forces also have other ancient Chinese dictionaries?"

The land of Jiangyue, the kingdom of Jiangyue, that kingdom that perished a thousand years ago—perhaps some answers lie there…

"Da Su doesn't have any good cauldrons, but it does have a Feng Shui Mountain and Sea Cauldron. Could we use it to bathe in the blood medicine...?"

Inside the Jiang family ancestral hall, the ancient feng shui mountain and sea cauldron trembled ominously a few times, causing the guards watching over the ancestral hall to panic.

Jiang Ran gave up her idea of ​​harming the Feng Shui Mountain and Sea Cauldron.

We then visited two other stone walls, focusing on the one that contained a sword technique manual.

【Nine Separation Soul-Locking Sword】

Jiang Ran held a wooden sword and danced along with the movements on the stone wall.

It stopped after half an hour.

The description only records the sword techniques, but the internal energy circulation during the swordplay is the most important, so one must thoroughly understand the text and practice accordingly.

"Time has blurred some of the words." Jiang Ran felt it was a pity, so she took out paper and pen and copied down the contents stroke by stroke without any mistakes. "I'll take it back and study it slowly." When Jiang Ran returned to Xiabo Island, Mo Sheng and the three giant apes had already fought several rounds.

Big Flower and Big Grass, having nothing else to do, were also watching the fight between the four little ones.

When Little Purple, Little Blue, and Little Brown were at a disadvantage, Big Flower was so disappointed in them that she stretched out her long ape arm and punched her chest a few times, shouting loudly, wishing she could take the field herself.

Jiang Ran lowered her brows and smiled lightly. After the winner was decided, she told Da Hua and went back.

……

Not long after returning to Dasu, Jiang Ran was followed by Feng Chi, who came to complain, "That Qi Yu guy really has no love for me anymore. The first thing he did after returning was to go see you, and for the next month, you two stayed together and didn't come to see me at all! I went to see him yesterday, but he was in seclusion and wouldn't see me!!"

Feng Chi gulped down a cup of tea with a bulging appetite.

"Weren't you forced into seclusion to practice weapon forging techniques by your ancestor a month ago?" Jiang Ran shook her head, marveling at Feng Chi's ability to distort the truth. "You came to Da Su just to cry to me?"

"Not really." Feng Chi chuckled twice. In Jiang Ran's eyes, he looked utterly lewd and was unbearable to look at.

He said, "Xiaoxiao hasn't been to Dasu recently."

Since Zhou Yixiao gradually moved her spirit beasts to Yunming Mountain, she has been spending more and more time in Dasu.

Feng Chi is pursuing Zhou Yixiao. Although Jiang Ran feels it's like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung, and she doesn't know what the flower is thinking, she doesn't avoid Feng Chi. Perhaps there's a hint of first love in her heart.

Feng Chi is indeed an outstanding person. His family background, appearance, and personal abilities are all impeccable. Now that he has settled down, he has also become quite charming.

Jiang Ran closed her eyes. "Every thought and intention is intention. Too much intention leads to the dissipation of one's spirit. A person who is sentimental is bound to be shallow in affection."

Feng Chi wasn't stupid; he knew Jiang Ran was reminding him, and his expression became more serious. "This time I'm serious."

Jiang Ran nodded slightly.

“Aran, I would like to borrow a boat and a few experienced sailors,” Feng Chi suddenly said.

Jiang Ran realized, "Chi Qiong has already reached the Sea of ​​Consciousness Realm?"

Feng Chi smiled and nodded.

Chi Qiong was the Fire Qiong Demon Whale that Feng Chi encountered during his search for the Auspicious Antelope Secret Realm. After fighting with Feng Chi, Chi Qiong agreed to become his contracted beast.

However, Chi Qiong is a sea monster that has not yet reached the Sea of ​​Consciousness Realm, so it cannot live on land for a long time. Therefore, the two made an agreement that when Chi Qiong's cultivation reaches the Sea of ​​Consciousness Realm, Feng Chi will go to pick it up.

"Congratulations! I'll send someone to make the arrangements right away." Jiang Ran readily agreed to borrow the boat and manpower.

……

Feng Chi, accompanied by a highly skilled guard, went to fetch Chi Qiong. After about ten days, they brought Chi Qiong to the mainland and returned the ship and its inhabitants.

In March, the weather warms up, the ice and snow melt, and the dust and fog seem to come and go. Embrace the green mountains to seek flowers and explore spring.

Qingxiao Kiln moved quickly, delivering tens of millions of bricks to Dasu over the past month. Dasu's laborers went to Xiabo Island to cut down trees and clear weeds in preparation for building the palace of the eight giant apes, including Dahua.

At dawn, Jiang Ran opened her eyes. Layers of spiritual mist around her gradually dissipated as she stood up. Steward Li knocked on the door, and a voice came from outside, "Your Highness, Gao Zhan, the village chief of Xiangling Stone Village, requests an audience." (End of Chapter)
