Jiang Tang noticed that little red lights were appearing in the sky, realizing it was the moment before dawn when the red moon would show.

“Little Blue Ox, let’s wrap up.”

Eryao withdrew its spell, and after the dragon shadow in the sky disappeared, the red moon began to slowly emerge.

After they entered the space, Jiang Tang cast a spell to pick flowers, harvesting all the blossoms from the Nourishing Soul Grass planted within, then had Eryao send these blossoms into the circle of light.

The clusters of Black Mist inside the circle found these blossoms and absorbed them incessantly, causing the flowers to quickly vanish.

The Black Mist within the circle seemed to have solidified quite a bit, and once they were fed, they stopped drifting and remained in a static state, resting.

Jiang Tang observed the field of Grass Soul Grass, not sure if it could survive in the space, but since the grass grew in an oasis, it was likely to be a plant that required a lot of moisture.

He glanced at Little Dragon, who was lying on the ground, wishing to rest.

If the pet would not work, was he supposed to do the work himself?

“Eryao, water those crops.”

“Daddy, now it’s Little Blue Ox’s turn to work; it has rested for the entire night, you should at least let it exercise its body, right?

Otherwise, it will really grow into a pig.”

Eryao didn’t move, indicating to Jiang Tang that Little Blue Ox shouldn’t be lazy.

“Little Blue Ox, can you spray water?”

“Moo…”

Feeling reluctant after Eryao accused it of becoming a pig, Little Blue Ox also wanted to showcase its spellwork in front of its master.

Little Blue Ox cast a spell, sucking up the water source in the space, and then with a puff from its mouth…

In the space, rain started sprinkling from high above, moistening all the crops.

Upon receiving moisture from the Spatial Water, the once-gray Nourishing Soul Grass instantly sprouted buds, and in a breath’s time, blossomed into beautiful red flowers.

With the aroma of flowers filling the air, Jiang Tang felt his own soul invigorated by the scent.

Jiang Tang was secretly thrilled; this wasn’t just a Spirit Grass that Ghost Cultivators could practice with.

People like them who pursued cultivation also needed to nurture their soul and spiritual power—this turn of misfortune proved to be a blessing.

With the Nourishing Soul Grass, he could strengthen his spiritual power even further.

As long as his spiritual power was great, even if his cultivation wasn’t as strong as others, he could attack the opponent’s soul with a Spiritual Attack.

Basking in the fragrance, Jiang Tang meditated and cultivated.

With a new idea in mind, he didn’t just focus on the strength of his body but also on fortifying his soul and spiritual power.

After spraying water, Little Blue Ox noticed that its master and Eryao were both resting.

Having also grown tired from using spells for a while, it too laid down to cultivate and found the air delightfully fragrant, the scent making its bovine brain unusually nimble.

Discovering this effect of the aroma, Little Blue Ox breathed it in while cultivating its bovine brain, determined not to let Eryao keep calling it stupid all the time.

Eryao was also cultivating, training its Dragon Breath among the fragrant air of the space, for the more powerful a dragon’s spiritual power, the more control it could exert over everything.

As their master and pets cultivated, beams of light radiated from their bodies, colorfully speckled, with tiny flower-like markings beginning to appear.

After a very long time, Jiang Tang opened his eyes during cultivation and saw that his two pets were even more diligent than she, still immersed in their practice.

Feeling a bit hungry, he looked at the bags of rice in the space, praised his two hard-working pets, and wondered how long he had been there; the bags of rice had already piled up into mountains of Spirit Rice.

Originally, he placed these hemp bags here, and every time the harvest came in, he would go outside to sell rice and some Spirit Grass pills.

On the other side of the Spirit Rice, baskets were placed separately, containing different kinds of Spirit Grass that had matured enough to be made into pills.

Aside from the Nourishing Soul Grass grown in that particular area, the space also had types of Spirit Grass that could become centuries old within just a few days of planting.

Seeing such valuable Spirit Grass, taking advantage of the fact that his space was rather ordinary at the moment, Jiang Tang had an idea.

It had been a long time since he had made pills, wasn’t it time to stretch his limbs and make some precious pills?

Take the Nourishing Soul Grass for example, adding its flowers to some medicinal ingredients, couldn’t he refine a more effective Nourishing Soul Pill?

But he had no prescription!

Jiang Tang sighed; he still wasn’t powerful enough!

His gaze turned to the large circle of light, where the previously scattered Black Mist had solidified into black lumps the size of pills.

Jiang Tang surmised these were individual souls, each in a state of stillness, as if in the process of cultivation.

He would not open the circle of light to scatter the red flowers to the cultivating souls.

He’d wait for Eryao to wake up before doing that.

Jiang Tang started cooking a pot of rice.

With no meat available, he picked some Spirit Herb Sprouts from the Spirit Field that could be stir-fried and eaten.

In the past, he used to make his own peanut oil, simply planting peanuts in the Spirit Field, and when the flowers matured, he would wash them clean and throw them into his Alchemy Furnace.

With a wave of a Cultivation Technique, he could press them into oil.

He sold quite a lot, but ever since he was severely injured, he hadn’t planted peanuts in his space again.

Finding no peanut oil, Jiang Tang searched his space to see if there were any peanuts that had sprouted wild.

He actually found two plants, each with about a pound of peanuts.

He kept a few as seeds and casually threw them into the field in his space to serve as future planting seeds.

He used the remaining peanuts with a Pure Water Pure Land Spell to wash them clean, then left them in his Pill Furnace.

One stream of Spiritual Energy entered the Pill Furnace, and with a bottle, he poured out the peanut oil.

He began to use his Qianji Fire, controlling the frying pan, to start stir-frying the Spirit Herb Sprouts.

A rich aroma wafted through the space, a scent even more enticing than meat, causing Eryao, who was in the midst of cultivation, and Little Blue Ox to perk up their noses and open their eyes.

“Daddy, wow, so fragrant, so fragrant, Eryao wants to eat too,” Eryao clutched Jiang Tang’s clothes, the Little Dragon’s mouth watering.

“Moo…” Little Blue Ox hopped up, circling the pan, thinking that grass smelled even more delicious when fried, looking more appetizing than eating it directly, salivating from its bovine mouth.

“This is grass, not meat; can you not be so exaggerated?”

Jiang Tang scooped some onto a plate, using chopsticks to dish out the rice into three portions in ceramic bowls, then divided the vegetables equally on top of the rice in each bowl.

Jiang Tang took a bowl of rice for himself to eat; it smelled so good, and indeed it was delicious, much better than any wild vegetables he’d had, and he could taste the rich Spiritual Energy in his mouth.

This was far more delectable than any organic vegetables he ate in his previous life in an era of high technology.

Jiang Tang decided to eat these healthy and beneficial sprouts from now on.

In a whoosh, Eryao grabbed its bowl of food and devoured it in just a few bites.

Little Blue Ox had only ever eaten straw and fresh grass before; it had never had rice or stir-fried grass.

It savored the meal slowly, relishing it.
