The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 891 Rules of the Heavenly Dao

When Jing Yan made this statement, even Li Qing fell silent.

Moreover, he thought that perhaps it would be better if he spoke less now?

Huan Ling Ji, this woman, had teased him with flirtatious persistence several times. Indeed, this could be an opportunity to give her a profound memory and let her scratch openly.

Having realized this, Li Qing no longer refused.

Han Xin’s principle in deploying troops was the more, the better, and his principle regarding beautiful women had never involved having too many.

"Senior, I can actually apologize," said Huan Ling Ji, her expression so aggrieved she was almost crying.

This was the first time Li Qing saw such an expression on this woman who seemed to be fearless at all times.

"What apology, do you despise my husband?" Jing Yan asked with a light smile.

"Definitely not!" Huan Ling Ji hurriedly said, "Actually, I just think that this matter is a bit too sudden. How about giving me a little more time to adapt, and to develop feelings with Qingzi? After all, this is a major life event."

Jing Yan thought very seriously for a moment and said, "That can be done, but don’t take too long."

Huan Ling Ji quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said sweetly, smiling repeatedly, "That definitely won’t happen, just a period of adjustment will do."

"However, don’t even think about running away. I’m now familiar with the Ninth Bureau; they probably won’t refuse me coming to find you!" Jing Yan said, looking gently at Huan Ling Ji, then suddenly added another sentence.

Upon hearing this, the smile on Huan Ling Ji’s face immediately crumbled.

Her lips trembled slightly, and with an extremely unnatural smirk, she said, "That... definitely won’t happen, why would I, haha."

"I’m just giving you a simple reminder. Let’s go and take a look at the Hundred Trees Spirit Spring," Jing Yan said nodding indifferently.

After stepping back slightly, Huan Ling Ji cast a resentful glance at Li Qing in a quick flash.

It was uncertain whether she was blaming Li Qing for not speaking up for her, or regretting that kiss she had given Li Qing earlier.

Li Qing smiled faintly. Huan Ling Ji probably still didn’t understand his intention to sting her deliberately.

His thoughts were actually the same as Jing Yan’s.

But at this moment, the most shocked was still Wu Shan.

Ever since Jing Yan and Huan Ling Ji appeared, his jaw had dropped and had not returned to its place.

His expression was completely frozen.

When he had heard Li Qing on the phone saying his women were very strong, Wu Shan had always thought, at most, they were above Foundation Establishment.

But who would have thought that this damn fool’s women, one arrived breaking through the air, and the other by sword control.

Arriving by breaking through the air, this was definitely something only those above the Golden Core could manage.

As for the one who came by sword control, her strength was also probably around Golden Core.

Since one could control a sword above Foundation Establishment, the aura this woman gave Wu Shan was definitely not just around Foundation Establishment.

What kind of people are these, how did he manage to have two such powerful Dao companions while just being in the Qi Cultivation Realm?

Indeed, comparisons can drive one to despair.

Wu Shan just couldn’t understand why he wasn’t as lucky.

If he had met such two women earlier, he wouldn’t just argue over the phone with the head of the Ninth Bureau, he’d dare to step on his face!

The group had only walked a few steps when they arrived under the big banyan tree. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

A stone spring was located right next to the two thick, exposed roots of the big banyan tree.

Li Qing had thought that the Hundred Trees Essence, reputed to match the Earth Spirit Spring Water, would have some extraordinary features, but at first glance, it was just an ordinary spring, indistinguishable from any other.

No wonder the villagers used it to feed livestock, as there were many such springs in the vicinity.

Nowadays, many villagers, for convenience, would directly use tap water, seldom drinking from the springs anymore.

Only a very few who thought the water quality of the springs was better continued to do so.

Although Wu Shan said that the villagers would rather feed it to livestock than drink it, seeing the situation now, Li Qing knew that the old man had misunderstood. It was not that people preferred feeding livestock, but rather for the sake of convenience.

During this season, there wasn’t much farm work, and students were on vacation, so almost every household would let their cattle and other livestock out of the pens to graze outside, saving some grass at home and eating some from outside.

When they went out, they would carry a bucket and a ladle, and after the cattle, sheep, donkeys, and horses were full, they would fill their containers with water next to the spring, ensuring the animals were well hydrated before herding them back home.

This was a common practice among the locals.

If villagers were told not to do this, they would surely think the person was out of their mind.

Wu Shan’s suggestion of buying the spring and the outrageous demands from the villagers now also made sense to Li Qing.

The spring was accessible for anyone to draw water, but selling it to become the property of one person would require everyone’s agreement.

How much to charge and how to sell the spring would definitely involve every household.

There were differing positions in this matter, but one couldn’t entirely blame the villagers.

"This spring doesn’t seem to be anything special!" Zi Ling squat down to take a closer look and muttered to herself.

Jing Yan gently raised her right hand, and a drop of spring water flew out of the spring, suspending in front of her, "This is indeed Hundred Trees Essence, discernible from just a drop. When gathered as a spring, it indeed looks just like ordinary water; this is its disguise.

"It’s also a modest gift from the Tree King to the Heavenly Dao. If a traveler with destiny incidentally drinks from it, perhaps, they can stumble upon a great opportunity. Even a mortal could have all illnesses cured and add twenty years to their lifespan."

Li Qing watched with sheer amazement as the drop of spring water floating in front of Jing Yan turned milky white.

The white was very pure.

Although it was liquid, it looked like a piece of high-quality jade, even having the texture of a solid.

"Yan’er, you mean it does this deliberately?" Li Qing asked in surprise.

Jing Yan nodded, "Spirit monsters comprehend the Heavenly Dao more deeply than we humans. They give as they take."

"If the Tree King were a bit more selfish, finding this spring wouldn’t be easy. Born from trees, these kings inherently possess the ability to create vacuums. If it hid the spirit spring in one, it couldn’t be found without reaching beyond the Nascent Soul stage."

Li Qing nodded thoughtfully, "It seems trees adhere to rules better than humans."

"They follow the rules of the Heavenly Dao, while humans have their own. But one can’t say they’re necessarily better; humans are considered the pinnacle of all beings and naturally surpass them." Jing Yan smiled lightly, nodding, "However, this is the unique quality of spirit monsters."

"But now, I’m very curious about how this old gentleman discovered this place. With your strength, discerning the Hundred Trees Essence shouldn’t be that easy."
