A Remarkable Profession, the Lost Rice Seeds
Seeing that Chen Ning didn't know about the Golden Leaf Rice Seeds, Zhao Yinyin immediately revealed a smug look and introduced it:
"Golden Leaf Rice Seeds is a treasure cultivated by farmers. Once the rice ears mature and produce grains, consuming them will allow one to enter the Ninth Rank realm."
"Etc!"
Chen Ning looked at her strangely and said, "So the Dao Seed you mentioned is the rice from the paddy field?"
"Yes."
Zhao Yinyin looked at him intently.
Chen Ning was stunned. "Even rice stalks here have such magical effects?"
"Yes."
Zhao Yinyin blinked her beautiful eyes, then realized what she meant and asked, "What do you mean by 'our place'?"
"I mean... it's astonishing that such wondrous things exist in the world outside your mountains."
"It's nothing. As you know, the land of the Azure Heaven Realm possesses magical powers, but it wasn't always like this. About five thousand years ago, a farmer appeared out of nowhere. Through his enlightenment, the land of the Azure Heaven Realm gained magical powers, not only increasing the size of grains and fruits by hundreds of times, but also imbuing them with magical power."
"Even those who have never cultivated before will be able to cultivate Essence Power and embark on the path of cultivation after consuming the fruits and vegetables grown on this land."
"Therefore, martial arts in the Azure Heaven Realm flourished, and the number of strong individuals increased exponentially. Later, people called the farmer who changed the world the Rice Ancestor, and farming became the most prestigious profession in the Azure Heaven Realm."
"Farmers take it upon themselves to cultivate new grains, fruits, and vegetables, and this Golden Leaf Rice Seeds is the latest one they have developed. However... the rice seeds were recently lost, and the farmer who cultivated them has also disappeared without a trace."
After listening to Zhao Yinyin's story.
Chen Ning understood the cause and effect, and also gained a basic understanding of the world.
This is indeed unusual.
It seems that there are very few kinds of herbs in this world, but grains, fruits and vegetables are very abundant.
What's even more unbelievable is that the Golden Leaf Rice Seeds can actually produce Ninth Rank powerhouses in batches. If placed on the Vast Land, it's equivalent to mass-producing Great Saint powerhouses.
This is absolutely outrageous.
Once such a treasure falls into someone's hands, it means they have access to countless Ninth Rank experts.
Therefore.
It's understandable that the rice seeds were lost.
It's likely that all the major powers in the world will fight tooth and nail over this.
Thinking of this, Chen Ning looked at Zhao Yinyin and said, "So you came out this time to retrieve the Golden Leaf Rice Seeds? Having performed such a great feat, your brother won't dare kill you?"
"Chen Ning, you're so clever! Now that you understand, you'd better protect me well. After I return to the palace, I can appoint you as the Commander of the Palace Guard!"
"I have another question."
Why do you ask so many questions?
Zhao Yinyin pouted and complained.
"Okay, I'm leaving then."
"Alright, alright, ask away."
Zhao Yinyin helplessly.
What is the overall structure of the Azure Heaven Realm? And what kind of entity is the Myriad Spirits Imperial Dynasty you belong to?
"It seems you really did grow up deep in the mountains."
Zhao Yinyin pursed her red lips and said, "The Azure Heaven Realm was originally filled with powerful figures, but five thousand years ago, the Rice Ancestor appeared out of nowhere. At that time, the Myriad Spirits Imperial Dynasty was just a small country. Because the people under its rule lived in peace and prosperity, the Rice Ancestor favored it and helped the Myriad Spirits Imperial Dynasty grow stronger. In the following years, it annexed other major countries. Therefore, in this Azure Heaven Realm, only the Myriad Spirits Imperial Dynasty has an immortal foundation."
"Are there any other forces that can rival the Myriad Spirits Imperial Dynasty?"
"All forces in the Azure Heaven Realm revere the Imperial Dynasty."
A hint of pride appeared in Zhao Yinyin's beautiful eyes.
Chen Ning remained expressionless, but he understood perfectly. It seemed that following this little princess was a shortcut to accessing information about the world.
Not long after.
Chen Ning and Zhao Yinyin walked out of this Great Wasteland.
As Zhao Yinyin had said, all the people they encountered along the way were cultivators. Although some were limited by their talent and had low cultivation levels, they all drew in primordial energy and possessed a certain amount of Essence Power.
Chen Ning became even more curious about farmers.
On the way, Zhao Yinyin told me that many new varieties cultivated by farmers have been bought up by various forces and are now in their hands.
Many factions have also recruited farmers to specialize in researching how to cultivate new varieties and increase production.
Therefore, the theft of the Golden Leaf Rice Seeds was very likely carried out by a certain force.
At this moment.
Various factions are also searching for Golden Leaf Rice Seeds. Some want to present them to the royal family for personal gain, while others harbor treacherous ambitions.
In conclusion
This land is not at peace now.
Undercurrents are brewing.
Chen Ning followed Zhao Yinyin to the back wall of a courtyard.
"Chen Ning, can you sneak in silently?"
Zhao Yinyin asked.
Chen Ning didn't answer, but instead asked, "Who lives here?"
"My men saw Master Qin reappear at this location after he disappeared."
Who is Master Qin?
"That's the farmer who cultivated the Golden Leaf Rice Seeds. He went missing, but he appeared here. If we find him, we might be able to find out where the Golden Leaf Rice Seeds is."
Zhao Yinyin explained.
Chen Ning asked, "Then who is the owner of this courtyard?"
"The Carefree King!"
When Zhao Yinyin mentioned this name, a look of fear flashed across her pretty face. "This is a terrifying person!"
