As a lord, I was forced to farm

“Your Highness, this is the Yan Yan Flower Field carefully tended by the villagers of Shi Village. The Yan Jiang Field is a little to the west. There are more than ten Desert Warriors at the Spirit Refining Realm and more than thirty Sand Wolves guarding the flower field. At this time, the two Demon Spirit Masters, Sun and Gao, should be here.”

Because of this crisis, the young desert people who had gone out to broaden their horizons, led by Mu Xiali, temporarily returned to Xiangling Secret Realm to protect Stone Village and Flower Field together with everyone.

Gao Zhan looked at the vast expanse of Flame Rock Flowers and couldn't help but smile, but the smile was quickly replaced by worry.

The Yanyan Flower Field is very large. It is a wonderful sight to suddenly see plants in a place with shallow soil and black stones everywhere.

Within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, there were no other plants. The fiery red Yan Yan flowers looked like tiny flames. Their roots were black and exposed, clinging tightly to the rocks like vines, drawing the nutrients they needed from the warm stones.

The most valuable part of the Flame Rock Flower is its root system and stems, which store Flame Rock Liquid. Drinking this liquid can increase the body's resistance to fire. It is not only loved by fire-type cultivators, but non-fire-type cultivators can also improve their resistance to fire by consuming Flame Rock Liquid.

Gao Zhan also drank a lot of Flame Rock Liquid. Otherwise, how could an outsider like him, who had not received the blessing of the Auspicious Antelope Secret Realm, have lasted so long in the Northern Antelope with his cultivation level of Spirit Refining Realm?

"How many acres of Yan Yan Hua have been planted?" As Jiang Ran climbed down the sandbar, Gao Zhan hurriedly stepped forward to help her.

"It covers thousands of acres!"

In the scorching Xiangling Secret Realm, a mere hundred-odd desert people planted thousands of acres of Yanyan flowers in this area, and the difficulty of that is unimaginable!

As Gao Zhan spoke, he bent down and showed Jiang Ran a Yan Yan flower with a slightly yellowish hue. A healthy Yan Yan flower should be a bright and pure red, and this slightly yellowish flower indicated that it was showing signs of withering.

"The Flame Rock Flower loves heat, but the temperature in the Northern Antelope this year is really outrageous, with the power to burn all living things."

Gao Zhan was in a hurry. He, the desert people, and the two demon spirit masters had put too much effort into the Flame Rock Flower Field. If all the Flame Rock Flowers withered and died this season, the loss would be at least 200,000 spirit crystals!
If things can't be salvaged, Gao Zhan simply won't be able to face the villagers of Shi Village.

During their brief exchange, Sun Yaoxu and Gao Litang, who were watering the Flame Rock Flower in the distance, noticed the arrival of the group and came to greet them with the desert guards who were patrolling and driving away the monsters.

"Without further ado, I'll go check out the Flaming Heart Earth Fire first."

Cultivators like Gao Zhan, whose cultivation levels were low, were now completely powerless to approach the raging Flame Heart Earth Fire.

Gao Litang said worriedly, "Your Highness, the Demonfire Tree Spirit Insect has been acting strangely lately. I estimate it's about to evolve into a demon spirit monster. However, I haven't been able to get close to the Flame Heart Earth Fire recently, and the Demonfire Tree Spirit has also refused to obey our calls these past two days. I still don't know its condition."

Jiang Ran nodded slightly.

As they flew to the crater, Jiang Ran's clothes were almost burned by the gently gushing subterranean fire.

Mo Sheng sensed the powerful fire energy and excitedly ran out of the spiritual space.

Gazing at the fiery red earth fire and the pink flame fruits forming on the demon fire tree, the little wolf couldn't help but lick his lips.

Jiang Ran's gaze also fell on the Demon Fire Tree.

The Demonfire Tree has a graceful posture, with small branches branching out from the trunk and growing leaves that look like matchsticks. Some of these leaves have pink flame fruits growing from their tips. Jiang Ran counted them and found that there were quite a few Demonfire Fruits, more than twenty in total.

Jiang Ran picked a fruit from the tree and gave it to Mo Sheng. The little wolf swallowed the demon fire fruit in two or three bites, and the blue flames on its tail grew even more intense. With a light leap, it landed on the ancient tree stump of the Extinction Tree below.

The lava-like tree stump was a bit too hot for his feet. Mo Sheng grimaced, but after getting used to it, he lay down and sat on the edge of the stump. His long wolf tail drooped down under the Flaming Heart Fire like a fishing rod, trying to catch a ball of flame to use for his own benefit and to strengthen himself.

However, the little wolf was still wary of the power of the Flaming Heart Fire, so he was extremely cautious when fishing.

Jiang Ran kept her gaze following Mo Sheng, and seeing that it was not afraid of the Flaming Heart Fire, she shifted her attention to the Demon Fire Tree.

On a fruit at the very top of the Demonfire Tree, a small insect with a base color of emerald green and covered with pink flame patterns stared at Jiang Ran with wide, beady eyes.

"Chu mi?" What are you doing here?
"Chu mi!!" Is it trying to make me leave my beloved tree again?!
"Mwah~~" Or did you actually bring me food? I liked that green stone you gave me last time, but I haven't finished eating it yet~
Before Jiang Ran could say anything, the demonic fire tree spirit insects started chirping incessantly.

Jiang Ran felt ashamed and stretched out her finger. Although the demonic fire tree spirit insect was cursing, its body honestly crawled into her palm.

"Looks like you're alright." Jiang Ran rubbed the little insect's belly with her fingers, which displeased the demon spirit.

"Chu mi!" I just finished eating! You've made me vomit!

"Chirp!" The little spirit, having rescued itself from the bad guy's torment, nudged Jiang Ran's finger with its head, then pointed at the Flaming Heart Fire. "Chirp!" You rascal, hurry up and deal with this increasingly hot land! Planting me here, are you trying to kill me with the heat?! (`~) This spirit is about to evolve into a demon monster, why aren't you dealing with it yet!
"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp chirp chirp!!!"

"Chewmi!"

"Alright, don't rush me." Jiang Ran thought the demon fire tree spirit insects were really noisy.

She put it back on the Demonfire Tree, and then jumped onto the Ashes Ancient Tree stump just like Mo Sheng.

In contrast to the Azure Flower Ancient Tree, the Fiery Heart Earth Fire seems to be at its most active and intense during the week. Even the Extinction Ancient Tree couldn't suppress the Fiery Heart Earth Fire at its peak, let alone the Demon Fire Tree, which is only an epic-level immortal tree.

Jiang Ran has two ways to barely calm down Yan Xin's inner fire.

The first method is to counter it with the opposing force of extreme cold.

The second is to absorb the fiery power of the Flaming Heart Earth Fire.

Instead of blocking, Jiang Ran immediately chose the second option, which was to guide and direct.

“Actually, it’s a good opportunity,” Jiang Ran muttered to herself. “The raging fire in Yanxin Earth also happens to be the period when the fire element is most active in the Xiangling Secret Realm throughout the year.”

Jiang Ran immediately contacted Wei Fengsheng, who was outside the Xiangling Secret Realm, and asked him to announce this good news and mobilize the fire-type cultivators in the county to come to the Xiangling Secret Realm to cultivate.

Immediately, the cultivators in the county became excited, especially the fire-type cultivators. "His Highness the Prince has said so, this is definitely a great thing for us fire-type cultivators!"

"I'll prepare food and drinking water and head to the Auspicious Antelope Realm right away!" (End of Chapter)
