Super Martial Era: My Little World

Chapter 39: Top-grade Spiritual Rice
The next day, in a communication room of the Yun family.

"Xiao Lie, I'm so happy to see you're still alive!"

Qian Ming's figure appeared on a display screen in the communications room, but he looked much more tired and older than before.

Yang Lie asked, "Uncle Qian, are Aunt Fang and Xin'er okay?"

Qian Ming smiled with relief and said, "They are all safe!"

Yang Lie asked, "Where are you now? Do you want me to go back and help you?"

Qian Ming said solemnly, "I'm currently in Shengyang City, the Zhao family's headquarters. I lost Beihe Base City, and now the hostile factions are attacking me. Don't get involved in our struggle. What you should do most now is study hard and get into college. When you graduate, come and help me!"

Qian Ming's enemies were naturally powerful Jindan-level warriors. Qian Ming was a prominent figure in Beihe Base City, serving as the Director of the Public Security Bureau, but his ties within Shengyang City were shallow. If a minor figure like Yang Lie were drawn into the conflict between Jindan-level warriors, even the slightest repercussions could prevent him from taking the college entrance exam.

"I see!"

Yang Lie and Qian Ming chatted for a while before ending the call.

The next day, in the key class of the second grade of Tailing No. 1 Middle School.

Fang Chengyi, the head teacher of the key class, calmly introduced the students, "Dear students, these two are the new transfer students, Yang Lie and Zhao Meixian. You must get along well with your new classmates!"

After Yang Lie and Zhao Meixian briefly introduced themselves at the podium, they sat together at the back of the classroom.

Yang Lie chuckled and said, "What a coincidence, we're actually sitting at the same table!"

Zhao Meixian rolled her eyes at Yang Lie and said, "How could such a coincidence happen? I must have used some power to make us sit at the same table."

As soon as the get out of class was over, people gathered around their desks.

"Hello, Zhao Meixian, I'm Liu Yuelan..."

"..."

Most of those who gathered around were girls, and their target was Zhao Meixian. After all, Zhao Meixian was extremely beautiful, and her youthful aura of heroism made her attractive to both men and women.

At this moment, the crowd suddenly parted, revealing a short-haired, tall, handsome young man with pride in his eyes, and a very beautiful girl with shoulder-length hair, skin as white as milk, delicate features, and great beauty.

Behind the young boy and girl were two tall followers.

Yun Haoran smiled gently, his words filled with confidence: "Hello, Yang Lie, I'm Yun Haoran. I heard about your journey thousands of miles to protect my cousin Meixian. You're truly outstanding! I'd like to invite you to be my retainer! Don't worry, your treatment will definitely not be bad!"

The direct descendants of the four major families would recruit outstanding talents to be their retainers. Qian Ming was one of the retainers recruited by the head of the Zhao family when he was in high school.

Yang Lie said, "Yun Haoran, Meixian invested 40 billion resources in me in one go! They will continue to invest 4 million worth of resources in me every year until I graduate from university. Can you come up with that much resources?"

"Four billion! Did I hear that correctly?"

"It's 40 billion! Is that crazy?"

"..."

Shocked eyes focused on Yang Lie. The students in the key classes were all geniuses and children of powerful families in Tailing City. Many of them came from wealthy families, but 40 billion was an astronomical sum of money for many of them.

Yun Haoran's gaze narrowed slightly as he looked at Zhao Meixian beside him. Although he was a direct descendant of the Yun family and possessed abundant resources, investing 40 billion in a high school student was out of the question. He suspected Yang Lie was rejecting him.

Zhao Meixian smiled brightly and said, "That's right! I invested 40 billion resources in him! Because I think he has the potential to be admitted to the four top universities!"

A hint of disappointment flashed across Yun Haoran's eyes as he said, "Congratulations, Meixian! Congratulations on getting an outstanding retainer!" Although Yun Haoran did not think that Yang Lie could be admitted to a top-notch university, he also admitted that Yang Lie was a very outstanding martial arts genius, but that martial arts genius had already been recruited by his cousin.

Zhao Meixian said solemnly: "No, he is not my retainer, but my friend."

A hint of disapproval flashed across Yun Haoran's eyes, but he still smiled gently and said, "Friend? Then you really have a new good friend!"

After chatting for a few more sentences, Yun Haoran and his group left.

The other students in the key class gathered around and started chatting with Yang Lie and Zhao Meixian enthusiastically.

Yang Lie quickly integrated into the class and resumed his simple life of studying and cultivating. He also quickly learned that the beautiful girl next to Yun Haoran was Yun Rou, Yun Haoran's sister. Yun Haoran's two followers were named Luo Changxin and Zhang Shixin.

Yun Haoran was already a master of the First Heaven of the Hundred Refining Realm, while Luo Changxin and Zhang Shixin both possessed cultivation levels above the Seventh Heaven of the True Condensation Realm. These three were renowned prodigies in the second year of high school at Tailing No. 1 High School.

A few days later, in the small world.

"It's finally ripe!! Top-grade spiritual rice!"

When Yang Lie saw the high-quality spiritual rice in the one-acre spiritual land in the small world, his eyes lit up with excitement.

Martial arts cultivation relies on resources, and the cultivation of various magical and powerful martial arts requires a variety of rare resources as nutrients. On newly colonized planets like Konghe Star, top-grade spiritual rice is undoubtedly the most advanced cultivation resource. Even martial artists at the Jindan level can hardly enjoy it every meal due to its low production.

As soon as Yang Lie thought about it, his whole body seemed to merge with the small world and become the god of the small world.

The rice in the acre of spiritual land automatically flew up, husked, and turned into crystal clear spiritual rice grains, falling into a box that had been prepared on the side.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the rice in the one acre of sacred land was harvested.

"The consumption is quite high! I've used up a full tenth of my Qi and mental strength! And this state can only be used to harvest rice or deal with some weak enemies! Therefore, my small world can only be used to resist the pollution of the evil god."

Yang Lie came out of that god-like state and immediately realized that he had consumed a lot of his true energy and energy.

Yang Lie quickly left the small world and began to cook the top-grade spiritual rice impatiently. He also cooked a large piece of fifth-level ferocious beast meat.

"Yang Lie, open the door, I brought you something good!"

Yang Lie had just finished cooking when he heard Zhao Meixian's voice outside the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhao Meixian walking in with a huge food box.

"Huh? You're cooking for yourself?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Zhao Meixian's eyes. She knew Yang Lie mostly ordered takeout, so she brought over dishes made with medium-grade spiritual rice and ferocious beast meat.

"You've come just in time! Come and try my cooking!"

Yang Lie smiled slightly and invited Zhao Meixian to sit down.

"This is top-grade spiritual rice! Fifth-rank ferocious beast meat!!"

Zhao Meixian took a few bites, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she began to eat with big mouthfuls. As for the medium-grade spiritual rice and fierce beast meat she brought with her, she didn't touch a single chopstick.

Seeing this, Yang Lie also started eating with big mouthfuls.

The top-grade spiritual rice tasted sweet, and the aroma of rice filled the air. As soon as the fifth-level ferocious beast meat fell into Yang Lie's stomach, it turned into a large stream of heat that sank into his body and became nutrients for his cultivation, filling his whole body with energy.
