Douluo Continent has a system, but I don't want to use it.

Chapter 3 The Meat-Eating Plan in Progress (Part 2)

Fang Tian and his son were already waiting at the dinner table, unable to wait any longer.

As soon as Fang's mother put the food down, Fang's father picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"Delicious, delicious! So delicious!" Mr. Fang's taste buds were wide awakened as he ate such smooth and chewy rice noodles for the first time.

Fang Tian picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. To be honest, compared to his previous life, the taste was just average, but it was still much tastier than the food he usually ate.

……

After finishing their meal, the family lay on chairs to digest.

"If you chop the vermicelli into small pieces, stir-fry it with chopped eggs and chopped vegetables, and then wrap it in buns, it should taste even better. Mom and Dad, do you think this can be sold for money now?" Fang Tian hadn't forgotten his grand project of cultivating his meat-eating skills.

"Son, I'm not trying to discourage you, but you're thinking too simply. We're just ordinary people. If we sell rice noodles and vermicelli at high prices and make a lot of money, those nobles will definitely come and rob us. Our whole village might even become slaves and be exploited by them!" Mr. Fang explained to his son.

"So that's how it is!" Fang Tian didn't show any disappointment on his face; he had long anticipated the situation his father was talking about.

Fang Tian only revealed the method for making rice noodles and rice sheets to gain his parents' trust and stop treating him like a child.

Moreover, sweet potatoes are inherently difficult to preserve, and every year the village wastes some due to improper storage. Furthermore, sweet potatoes have a high yield, so each household in the village only grows a small amount. Otherwise, a large quantity of sweet potatoes would rot before they could be consumed. With the method for making vermicelli, the entire village will benefit.

This will subtly enhance one's status in the village, making it a win-win-win situation.

"I understand, Dad. Let's tell the whole village how to make sweet potatoes. The village can grow more sweet potatoes, and everyone can set the price lower so they can earn a little extra money. That way, everyone's life should improve a bit," Fang Tian discussed with his father.

"Good! As expected of my son! You've thought of something very good. I'll discuss it with the village chief tomorrow." Mr. Fang was very pleased with Fang Tian's actions.

Two weeks later, everyone in the village knew how to make vermicelli and rice noodles. The village chief even suggested collecting seeds of wild onions and leeks and clearing a field specifically for planting them. This way, the wild onions and leeks could be sold for some money, and everyone praised the village chief for his wisdom.

Except for the land in the village that had already been planted with other crops but hadn't been harvested yet, all the remaining land was planted with sweet potatoes. Even the hillsides were cleared out; after all, sweet potatoes aren't picky about soil, so the yield might be lower. The whole village was working enthusiastically, as if suddenly there was hope for their lives.

While Fang's father was teaching the whole village how to make vermicelli, Fang Tian was not idle either, but kept practicing Baduanjin (Eight Pieces of Brocade).

Perhaps because of the existence of soul power in this world, Fang Tian could clearly feel the strengthening effect of practicing the Eight Pieces of Brocade on his body.

However, Fang Tian dared not practice for too long, and would stop practicing after sweating each time, since this body was too young.

Fang Tian was diligently cultivating his skills, Fang's father was diligently teaching everyone how to make rice noodles and rice sheets, and everyone in the village was diligently learning and planting sweet potatoes. The whole village was full of energy.

When Fang's father returned home that day, Fang Tian pulled his parents aside and said he had something to discuss.

"Oh! What's the matter this time?" Now, Fang's father no longer treats Fang Tian like a child.

"Dad, I've thought of a way to eat meat!"

"What method?" Mr. Fang's interest was piqued.

"Raising rabbits!" Fang Tian smiled and immediately revealed the answer without keeping anyone in suspense.

"Raising rabbits? What do you mean?" Mr. Fang asked, puzzled.

Fang Tian then went on to talk about the benefits of raising rabbits, mentioning that the abundant sweet potato leaves and stems from the village made feeding them even easier. Fang's father, having witnessed his son's skill in making vermicelli and rice noodles, realized he was exceptionally intelligent and had a stable personality, and thus agreed to let Fang Tian give it a try.

Fang's father bought three live rabbits—one male and two females—in Nottingham City for Fang Tian's rabbit-raising experiments.

So for the next six months, Fang Tian spent his spare time each day observing and recording the rabbit breeding situation, constantly summarizing his experience.

Within six months, the number of rabbits had multiplied from three to nearly a hundred. This was despite a lack of breeding experience and the deaths of a large number of rabbits.

It can be said that rabbit farming was a great success. Fang Tian also basically achieved the freedom to eat meat, so he no longer cared about rabbit farming and devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.

In the past six months, not only has his rabbit breeding been a great success, but his cultivation progress has also been quite remarkable. Fang Tian feels that his physical fitness has greatly improved, and he can also vaguely sense the flow of energy within his body.

The first step in the Meridian Flow Therapy is to use breathing techniques to condense the spirit and strengthen internal energy. Then, using the condensed spirit and the continuously strengthening internal energy, one achieves internal visualization. Next, one uses internal visualization to understand the patterns of blood and qi circulation in one's own meridians, and then promotes one's own circulation according to the body's natural meridian and blood and qi circulation, thereby simultaneously enhancing essence, qi, and spirit.

Based on his current progress, Fang Tian felt that in another two years, he would be able to internally visualize his meridians and obtain the "Midnight-Noon Flow" internal energy cultivation technique. He wondered how effective this technique would be in this world, and whether it had any special effects.

With remarkable progress in his cultivation, Fang Tian became even more motivated to practice. Every day at the crack of dawn, he would practice breathing exercises facing the rising sun, followed by the Eight Pieces of Brocade.

If it weren't for the fact that his body was too small and he was worried about it affecting his development, Fang Tian would want to use every moment to improve himself.

Now that his physical abilities have improved, Fang Tian wondered if he should learn to use a weapon.

His own martial soul is a mutated sweet potato, but it has little combat ability, and his family can't help him hunt for a suitable soul ring.

If you don't want the ten-year spirit ring that the Spirit Master Academy helps you hunt, you should prepare early!

Ordinary weapons may not be very helpful at higher levels, but they are still quite lethal in the early levels.

After much deliberation, Fang Tian finally chose the sword as his weapon. Although the sword is easy to learn but difficult to master, it is quick to use and highly lethal!

If Fang Tian intends to conquer the world with his swordsmanship, he needs to work hard and acquire a fine sword for himself in the future.

Fang Tian carved a wooden sword in the shape of a goose feather knife and made a scabbard himself. It looked pretty good.

Fang had never learned swordsmanship, so he could only practice by figuring things out on his own.

The draw slash is definitely something to consider; it's fast and catches you off guard. Then there are some basic moves: chop, slash, slice, sweep, etc. Basically, arrange all the moves you can think of in order and string them together as much as possible to make it easier for you to practice.

Practice like this first, mainly to improve your control over the knife, so that you can do whatever you want in battle.

……

Time flies like an arrow, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Tomorrow is the village's annual Martial Soul Awakening day, and Fang Tian felt a slight excitement. Although he already knew his situation from the system panel.
