Chapter 449: Chapter: 170: Chen Chang’an advises on agriculture, Shen Xuzi’s theory of catastrophe! _1
"Brother, are you not going to do it?"
The next moment, Mao Ruxue voiced her doubts.
"No."
In response to Mao Ruxue’s question, Chen Chang’an shook his head.
"The reason the mountain gate sets up such spiritual fields not only serves as a test for the newly joined disciples, but also as a benefit for them."
"Over the years you’ve been up the mountain, I haven’t had anything good to give you, so I’ll give these spiritual fields to you."
"Besides, these spiritual fields will eventually be handed over to you in the future. There’s not much difference between handing them over now or later, so I might as well give them all to you."
"Huh? All for me?"
Upon hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Mao Ruxue was stunned. From the sound of it, was there a feeling of entrusting responsibility?
"Brother, are you going to pass the position of the mountain lord onto me?"
The next moment, Mao Ruxue asked in surprise. At this moment, she felt like happiness had come too suddenly.
"Yes."
Chen Chang’an just nodded.
"It turns out that I’m not suitable to be the mountain lord. You’re clever and full of initiative, and you are undoubtedly suitable for this position."
"However, Ruxue, there’s a saying that jade must be cut and polished before it becomes a gem. While I have the idea to pass the position of the mountain lord to you now..."
"...you’re still too young and need to be tempered."
"Otherwise, even if the mountaintop disciples approve, the older disciples and ancestors in the sect will not agree. This would not be good for you."
"And so..."
"So brother, you’re planning to let me temper myself here?" Before Chen Chang’an could finish, Mao Ruxue interjected.
At this moment, she was eager to try.
Chen Chang’an nodded,
"Yes, that’s the idea. If you’re willing, Ruxue, you can give it a try. I won’t force you."
"No, brother, I’m willing, you can rest assured that I’ll take on this matter."
Upon hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, where would Mao Ruxue refuse?
You have to know, these are hundreds of spiritual fields!
The spiritual fields of Daozang Mountain are top-notch. If they can guarantee a steady output, one spiritual field can yield one Dao Source Stone a year on average.
If one field can yield one Source Stone a year, then these hundreds of fields would conservatively yield over a hundred Source Stones a year!
Acquiring this amount of Source Stones outside would take a long time!
And so, Mao Ruxue quickly agreed, fearing that Chen Chang’an might change his mind.
"Okay then, Ruxue, I’m leaving these spiritual fields to you."
Seeing Mao Ruxue accepting this, Chen Chang’an no longer hesitated. After explaining some important matters and rules on the cultivation of spiritual fields, he returned to the mountain.
"Hey, kid, I’ve noticed you have some devious tactics."
"You’re clearly just trying to be lazy but you’re dressing it up in fancy words."
"How can you deceive a little girl like this, won’t your conscience hurt?"
After returning to the mountain, Shen Xuzi emerged, sneering at Chen Chang’an’s actions.
"Why should my conscience hurt for giving away land that I earned with my skill?" Faced with Shen Xuzi’s words, Chen Chang’an was unflustered, calmly replying.
"Or are you going to help the girl out, old man?"
"Um, I’d rather not."
Hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Shen Xuzi shook his head.
"My heart has long been as strong as iron, and I’m not interested in cultivation of the heart."
Finally getting out of that damned space, isn’t it good to enjoy staying on the mountain, taking care of flowers, and admiring the moon?
He’s not a masochist, what’s he doing getting involved in cultivating these damn spiritual fields?
"Yes, isn’t it good to stay on the mountain cultivating flowers, admiring the moon, and enjoying life? I’m not a masochist either, so why should I cultivate these damn fields of enlightenment?"
The next moment, Chen Chang’an started speaking.
This statement was equivalent to indirectly answering the question that Shen Xuzi had initially asked him.
Most importantly, the statement was a repetition of what Shen Xuzi had just thought.
"Damn! Kid, can you actually hear my thoughts?!"
Without exception, upon hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Shen Xuzi was taken aback!
"Old man, if you can know some of my thoughts, isn’t it normal for me to hear your thoughts?"
Chen Chang’an rolled his eyes at Shen Xuzi.
The contracts in this world are really interesting.
Chen Chang’an found that when there’s a gap in cultivation between the two beings who sign the contract, one side’s thoughts can easily be overheard by the other.
Generally, the one with higher cultivation can snoop into the thoughts of the one with lower cultivation.
Of course, that is for an equal contract.
If it is a enslaving contract, then only the master can hear the thoughts of the enslaved beast, not the other way around.
For instance, the initial contract between Chen Chang’an and Shen Xuzi was a enslaving contract.
In the past, Chen Chang’an couldn’t hear Shen Xuzi’s thoughts due to his much lower cultivation level. Occasionally, Shen Xuzi would even guess his thoughts.
There was nothing he could do, the gap in cultivation level was just too great, and it was an inevitable thing.
But now, as he has stepped into the Six Daos and as his position as the Supreme Saint is increasingly solidified, Chen Chang’an found that the inequality between himself and Shen Xuzi is gradually disappearing.
