Chapter 31 Luck 3, The 5th Mu of Spiritual Field
Black Stone Mountain, the night is deep.
A mountain breeze rustled through the forest, causing the windowpanes to creak softly.
Li Xuan sat alone in his study, with the East Market account books, the War Hall directory, the Spirit Field harvest table, and the internal news of the Wang family that his spies had just sent back spread out on his desk.
The lamplight illuminated his profile, revealing a calm expression.
Meanwhile, the system panel in my mind was flickering slightly.
[Family Luck: 298]
It's just two points short.
They are only one step away from reaching three hundred fortunes.
Li Xuan knew very well that this step was not just a change in numbers.
The previous breakthroughs in fortune brought about substantial leaps in the family's status:
The first mu of spiritual land brought the Li family back to life.
The fourth mu of spiritual land led the Li family onto the path of medicinal herbs.
This time, after three hundred luck cycles, it will most likely be another qualitative change.
⸻
Footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Li Yuanshan rushed in, panting, carrying a stack of account books.
"Young Clan Chief!"
"Good news!"
"The bills for today's Dongshi transactions are out!"
Li Xuan looked up and glanced at him.
Get to the point.
Li Yuanshan's face was glowing, as if he had found a magic stone during the New Year.
"Today's total profit from the five shops is 1,167 spirit coins!"
"It's up another 20% from yesterday!"
"There are also three individual investors willing to use our Li family's name and pay monthly contributions!"
Li Xuan's expression shifted slightly.
That's really good.
The Li family went from a small clan in the mountains to earning over a thousand spirit coins a day in just over a month.
And just as Li Yuanshan finished speaking—
The system panel in my mind suddenly jolted.
[East Market Revenue Increases]
[Growth of Family Business Power]
[Family Luck +4]
[Current Luck: 302]
[Detection indicates a Qi Luck exceeding 300]
[Family Promotion Rewards Now Available]
Li Xuan's eyes narrowed.
coming.
⸻
Li Yuanshan was still excitedly talking when he saw Li Xuan suddenly stand up.
"Put the ledgers down."
"Don't bother me tonight."
Li Yuanshan was taken aback.
"what?"
"I want to go to the back mountain."
After saying that, Li Xuan pushed open the door and went out.
Li Yuanshan stood there, looking down at the account book in his arms, then at the door.
"I haven't finished telling you the good news yet..."
⸻
The back mountain.
Under the cover of night, the four acres of core spiritual fields lay out quietly.
The first mu of Lingmi rice is nearing maturity, with plump ears and faintly glowing.
The second acre of Qi-nourishing grass is as neat as a carpet.
The third acre consistently produces ordinary spiritual plants.
In the fourth mu of medicinal herb field, the dew-covered flowers have grown to half a foot tall, and the red vines have also climbed all over the wooden frame.
These four acres of land are the foundation of the Li family today.
Li Xuan stood in the middle of the field ridge, and the system panel slowly unfolded.
[Family Luck: 302]
[Promotion rewards are available]
[Reward: Fifth Mu of Spiritual Field (Special Spiritual Field)]
[Start now?]
Li Xuan's breathing became slightly shallower.
Special spirit field?
Although each of the four acres of spiritual fields had its own advantages and disadvantages, their essence was still to produce resources.
The word "special" is clearly different.
"Activate".
⸻
next moment.
The spiritual energy in the entire back mountain suddenly surged.
The mountain winds around us stopped.
A low, rumbling sound could be faintly heard from below the field ridges, like the earth's long-dormant veins being awakened.
At the location of the fifth wasteland, the soil began to churn, the weeds withered, and the gravel crumbled on its own.
A large amount of spiritual energy gathered from all directions, like mist and tide, and poured into the fields.
Under the moonlight, the land seemed to shimmer with faint golden hues.
[Activation Successful]
[Obtained: Special Spirit Field (one acre)]
【Attribute: Spirit Gathering】
[Effect: Improves cultivation efficiency in the surrounding area, enhances the quality of spiritual plants, and provides long-term nourishment to the earth's veins]
Li Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
Spirit Gathering Field!
This is no longer just a field for making money.
It is a sacred place for cultivation.
⸻
He immediately sat down cross-legged and began circulating the "Green Wood Nourishing Essence Technique".
In just a few breaths, the surrounding spiritual energy began to converge on him.
The speed far exceeds that of ordinary meditation.
If we say that cultivation in the past was like drawing water from a well.
Now it flows like a stream.
Li Xuan opened his eyes, his heart filled with unconcealed shock.
If one cultivates here for an extended period, the speed of breakthroughs will increase by at least 30%.
For the Li family as a whole, this means:
Those who cultivate Qi can do so much faster.
The younger generation is growing up faster.
The overall combat strength of the battle hall is taking shape more quickly.
This is a treasure trove that can influence the landscape of the next decade.
⸻
Just now.
Torches lit up in the distance.
Li Tianheng, Li Yuanlie, Li Yuanshan and others rushed over upon hearing the news.
As soon as they reached the edge of the field, they all froze in surprise.
The fifth acre of land was shrouded in mist, with faint patterns of light flowing through it.
Even those who don't understand cultivation can tell that this place is extraordinary.
Li Yuanshan was the first to react, his voice trembling with excitement.
"Another...another acre?!"
"The ancestral graves have really been blown up this time!"
Li Yuanlie squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, and glared at him, saying:
"Does this field glow?"
"Can I grow succulents?"
Li Yuanshan angrily said:
"What else is on your mind besides eating?!"
⸻
Li Tianheng, however, did not joke.
He closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, his expression more solemn than ever before.
"The spiritual energy here... is actually gathering on its own."
"Xuan'er, this is no ordinary spirit field."
Li Xuan nodded.
"Gathering Spirit Field"
Li Tianheng was startled upon hearing this.
Even with his limited knowledge, he knew the value of the words "gathering spirits".
For a small clan to obtain this place would be enough to change their fate.
If outsiders find out—
Blackrock Mountain will immediately become the target of everyone's attacks.
⸻
Li Tianheng said in a deep voice:
"Block the news."
"This field is designated as a forbidden area for the family."
"No one other than core members is allowed to approach."
Everyone agreed.
Li Yuanshan instantly got into the zone.
"I'll put up a sign tomorrow!"
"Repair the fence!"
"Send accountants... no, send guards on duty in shifts!"
Li Yuanlie rolled his eyes.
"You want to control everything."
⸻
Li Xuan, however, looked towards the Battle Hall, his eyes already showing a new plan.
With the Spirit Gathering Field, many things can be done ahead of schedule.
For example--
Cultivate true family backbone.
Chen He, Li Yuanlie, and even Li Tianheng could take turns cultivating in the fields.
As long as we widen the gap between ourselves and the Wang family's cultivators, the final battle will be much more secure.
⸻
The system prompted me again in my mind.
[Special Spirit Field Successfully Activated]
[Family heritage significantly enhanced]
[Family Luck +12]
[Current Luck: 314]
[New Mission Issued: Train the First Late-Stage Qi Refining Battle Hall Member]
[Reward: Increased probability of family genius]
Li Xuan's eyes flickered slightly.
The odds of genius are at their peak again.
This indicates that the system has begun to drive the "next generation".
If the Li family is to become a true family of cultivators, it cannot rely on him alone.
There must be people in every generation.
⸻
at the same time.
The Wang family ancestral home.
A spy hurried into the room and reported in a low voice:
"Master, the spiritual energy on the back mountain of the Li family has been unusual tonight, and there seems to be some strange phenomenon."
Wang Tonghai suddenly looked up, his eyes as dark and gloomy as water.
"Strange phenomenon?"
"What can be determined?"
The scout bowed his head and said:
"I don't know, the Li family has completely sealed off the back mountain."
The elders in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment.
The situation in the Li family has changed again.
Wang Tonghai remained silent for a long time before slowly gripping the handrail.
He suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.
It was as if every day he delayed, the Li family would become stronger.
The Wang family, however, is being gradually depleted.
⸻
The back of Black Stone Mountain.
Li Xuan stood in front of the fifth mu of spirit-gathering field, gazing at the spiritual mist under the moonlight, a slight smile playing on his lips.
The Wang family is still figuring out how to defend it.
Meanwhile, the Li family has already begun preparations for the next phase.
This struggle begins today—
The balance of power has tipped once again.
