After being universally criticized online, he cultivates immortality and farms to lead his motherlan

Chapter 172 It's fashionable for young people to marry late these days.

Jian Ning saw the reward and caught the key word – weapon crafting!
Her eyes lit up immediately.

Since being bound to the cultivation system, she has been binge-reading several cultivation novels overnight.

They also have some knowledge of weapon crafting.

In the world of cultivation, there are countless flying magical artifacts, such as flying boats, umbrellas, kites, blankets, and so on.

Jian Ning thought of the sword flight that had been demystified.

Seeing the mission rewards in front of me now fills me with excitement.

Once she learns weapon crafting, she will definitely forge a powerful and unique flying magical artifact for herself.

RV Plus – Flying Version.

As for cultivating the seeds of the five high-level spiritual plants...

She possesses a celestial-grade wood spirit root, giving her an innate advantage in planting. She also has planting techniques to cheat, but she doesn't know what constitutes a high-level planting technique.
Jian Ning frowned, then thought again.

Even pothos plants are considered spiritual plants, and chicken eggs can be mistaken for phoenix eggs.

It just so happens that she and Professor Jiang are going to work together to cultivate high-yield and high-quality grain varieties.

There's nothing to hesitate about, just give it a try, maybe you'll find another bug.

However, we'll have to wait until we get back to Beicheng to discuss all of this.

There is no environment in Wuhu to cultivate plants, and she wanted to spend a couple more days with her grandmother.

At this moment, the system silently popped up a countdown.

[Ding, a friendly reminder: This is a time-limited task. Countdown: 119:59:59]

Jian Ning looked at the red countdown that popped up in the system and felt terrible.

It evokes a sense of urgency, much like when you're preparing for the 800-word essay in the Chinese college entrance exam and have no idea where to begin, only to find you have 40 minutes left to hand in the paper.

She took a deep breath, remembering that her grandmother was still beside her, and swallowed back the curse words that she wanted to utter.

I checked my phone and saw that the high-speed rail tickets for tonight were sold out; only plane tickets were available.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy.

She gave a heads-up to her grandmother, who was intently watching the news.

"Grandma, I have to go back to Beicheng tonight."

The old lady was watching the news intently when she heard her granddaughter's words and immediately turned to look at her.

Her smile faded, and she asked with concern in her eyes, "Ningning, why so suddenly? Did something happen?"

"Yes, I've got a new job."

Jian Ning didn't hide it, but just put it another way.

The old lady gave her a deep look and asked cautiously, "Ningning, are you unhappy because Grandma won't go to Beicheng with you?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Ning immediately shook her head.

"Of course I'm not unhappy, Grandma. I've thought it through. You've lived in Wushi for so many years and are used to everything here. The climate in the north is dry, and I sometimes get nosebleeds."

As she spoke, she took her grandmother's hand and placed it in her own palm, saying sweetly, "However, after I'm done with my work, I'll take you to the North City for a few days, okay?"

The old lady nodded, a happy smile on her face: "Once you have a boyfriend, Grandma will come over to visit."

Jian Ning: "..."

She had planned everything, but she never expected this answer.

She feigned slight anger: "Grandma, you're just being overly anxious, like an emperor not worried at all. I'm still so young."

The old lady held up two numbers in the air with both hands and then said, "You're 25 now, not young anymore. When I was your age, my kids were already in elementary school. It's popular for young people to get married late these days. I'm not pressuring you to get married, but you can still date your boyfriend for a few years and see what he's like."

Jian Ning had a premonition that this topic would go on and on.

Just then, Jian Yi, who was doing his homework at the desk on the balcony, turned around and said, "Grandma, these days it's fashionable to stay single and childless for safety." Upon hearing this, the old lady glared at Jian Yi and said, "You brat, you're just talking nonsense."

After saying that, he turned to Jian Ning and started revealing her shortcomings.

“Ningning, do you remember when you were in school, going to high school in the county town? Every time this kid saw you off on the bus, he would turn around and hide in his room to wipe away his tears.”

Jianyi's ears immediately turned bright red.

"Grandma, it's been so long, why are you bringing this up?"

The old lady swaggered around like a victorious general, or like a quarrelsome child: "What, you're allowed to talk, but Grandma isn't?"

From childhood to adulthood, neither of the two siblings could ever win a single argument against the old lady.

Jian Yi had no choice. Her face flushed, she buried her head and silently admitted defeat: "Fine, fine, I won't say anything more. I'll do my homework."

The old lady turned to look at Jian Ning, as if she wanted to say something.

Jian Ning got up and ran away: "Grandma, um, I bought a plane ticket for tonight, I'm going to pack my luggage first."

She had very few belongings. When she returned for the New Year, the only extra thing she had was a magpie, which she put into her Qiankun Ring.

"Tuk Tuk"

There was a knock on the door, and Grandma called out from outside, "Ningning."

Then, the door clicked open a crack.

Jian Ning had just closed the box when she turned around and saw her grandmother behind the crack in the door.

Grandma opened the door wider to make things easier for her and came in, clutching a crumpled bag in her hand.

The old lady reached out and handed over the bag. "Ningning, these are the socks and insoles that Grandma knitted for you. The outer socks are thin, and your feet are always cold in winter. The socks that Grandma knits are thick and durable."

Jian Ning took the bag and looked down at the old lady in front of her, whose hair was gray and who was half a head shorter than her.

My grandmother was so tall, so very tall, in my memory.

It is the long river of time that stretches across us, and it is only at the moment of parting that we realize that emotions are like a sponge soaked with water, needing a little external force to flow out drop by drop.

Jian Ning reached out and hugged the person in front of her tightly, choking back tears as she said, "Grandma, I will miss you."

The old lady was still trying to lighten the mood with a joking tone: "When you were a kid, you would go to boarding school and never look back when you got on the bus. How come you've grown up now and turned into a three-year-old?"

Jian Ning snorted lightly: "Can't I just turn back the clock?"

"Alright, alright," the old lady said helplessly, her voice lowering and becoming gentle and flowing: "With Grandma here, you can always be a child."

Jian Ning hugged her even tighter.

After a long silence, the old lady patted her back reassuringly.

Jian Ning let go of her hand, took out an unusually thick pair of socks from the crumpled bag, and pulled out a wad of red banknotes from inside the socks, stuffing them back into her grandmother's hand.

"Grandma, I'm such a grown-up, why are you still using this trick to give me money?"

The old lady pushed it back, saying, "You take it."

Jian Ning said confidently, "I have money."

The old lady said, "I can't even spend all my retirement pension. You have plenty of places to spend money in Beicheng."

Jian Ning: "You keep it for yourself."

The old lady said, "Here, take the flowers."

Jian Ning huffed, "If you don't take them, I don't want these socks and insoles either. I'll just freeze to death if I don't wear socks when I go out."

Just like when she was little, Jian Ning would puff out her cheeks, cross her arms, and threaten her grandma: "If you don't buy me snacks, I won't eat. I might as well starve to death."

It's terrible, but it works.

The old lady didn't take the money Jian Ning had stuffed back into her pocket out of her hand. She just sighed and said, "Children are so much better. You were so easy to fool when you were little. Now that you're grown up, you can't anymore. Grandma can't fool you anymore."
