Earth-Nurturing Farming Scythe

Many people who entered the inner area of Medicine King Valley came to Bi Ji. Looking at the rare medicinal herbs scattered all over the ground, their eyes were filled with shock and greed.

"So many precious medicinal herbs! Is this the foundation of the Spirit Pagoda? Amazing!"

Xu Xiaoyan looked around, and the dazzling array of medicinal herbs was truly breathtaking. Gu Yue looked at all these herbs and fell into deep thought. "Is our Star Dou Great Forest really that rich? I didn't know that." But right now, she was more concerned about what this divine artifact was all about.

"Children, this sickle is called the Earth-Nurturing Farming Scythe. It is one of the Twelve Sets of Divine Artifacts forged by the Spirit Transferring Douluo. It has two forms: a sickle and a hoe. It is part of the same set of divine weapons as the Heavenly Craft Creation Hammer from the Blacksmith Association."

Bi Ji introduced the item, and everyone gasped when they heard it was a divine artifact. They never expected that this seemingly ordinary scythe would be such a powerful weapon. She then began to explain its contents in detail.

"This weapon has no other use than land reclamation and cultivation. All the farmland under our Spirit Pagoda was cultivated using this divine artifact."

"The fertility and Life Energy of the reclaimed land will increase. This divine artifact represents the ancestral tool of agriculture and is the key to ensuring that everyone has enough to eat."

Listening to Bi Ji's story, Chen Jianshu looked thoughtfully at the wheat-harvesting sickle above. "Is this guy really that awesome? Twelve Sets of Divine Artifacts, not twelve pieces, but a complete set."

It's a set with the hammer from the Blacksmith Association, which means the Blacksmith Association also has a divine weapon? Wait... a scythe and a hammer? At this Xu Xiaoyan reached out and tugged at his sleeve, whispering:

"A Shu, I heard that the Spirit Transferring Douluo was once just an ordinary commoner who had difficulty even getting enough to eat when he was a child."

"Oh? I remember that ten thousand years ago there wasn't a chance to awaken Martial Soul?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianshu was also very interested in learning more. History only records how great the Spirit Transferring Douluo was, and these kinds of things are rarely mentioned. After all, the darkest moments are always embellished or omitted by others.

People only see how he's the center of attention, but they don't care about the hardships he endured along the way, Xu Xiaoyan recounts:

"I remember it was when the Spirit Transferring Douluo went out to the forest to pick wild fruit that he stumbled upon a seriously injured and dead Soul Master. He found the start-up capital on the man's body, which is why he went to the nearest city to awaken his Martial Soul."

"Afterwards, he awakened his Innate Full Soul Power. The City Lord's mansion tried to force him to sign a contract of servitude. After he refused, he was hunted down, arrested, and sold into slavery."

"Later, Spirit Transferring Douluo used his wisdom to burn down the entire slave Auction House, saving countless slaves. However, he was also seriously injured and ended up on the streets. He was later picked up by Fengxiao Douluo and became a servant of the Xiao Family."

At this point Xu Xiaoyan's eyes lit up instantly, and she began to speak at length.

"That's how Spirit Transferring Douluo met Fengxiao Douluo. They were originally master and servant, then became husband and wife. Master and servant romance, sob sob sob..."

Just as she was getting excited, Chen Jianshu suddenly covered her mouth. Xu Xiaoyan wondered why he had suddenly covered her mouth, and when she turned her head, she saw that everyone was staring at her.

Her face flushed red instantly, and she quickly hid behind Chen Jianshu beside her. Feeling uneasy under everyone's stares, Xu Xiaoyan awkwardly scratched the ground with her toes and apologized repeatedly.

"Excuse me... please continue."

Bi Ji shook her head slightly after being interrupted, and then continued the conversation.

"You're right. Back then, the Spirit Transferring Douluo was indeed a beggar on the streets, severely injured, starving, and freezing. Even his former small village was destroyed by the City Lord's Mansion."

"The reason is that he refused to sign the indenture, which challenged the authority of the City Lord's Mansion. The world ten thousand years ago was that cruel. Back then, Fengxiao Douluo Xiao Xiao exchanged a steamed bun for his loyalty."

Knowing the immense suffering of hunger, cold, and homelessness, the Spirit Transferring Douluo made a grand vow: to ensure everyone could have enough to eat. This is the origin and significance of this divine artifact.

Listening to Bi Ji's story, the crowd, who had only heard of Spirit Transferring's fame, never imagined that she had such a dark past.

Ordinary people have no chance to awaken their Martial Soul, and even if they do, they are forced to sign a contract of Martial Soul. Such a difficult environment is truly unimaginable.

Moreover, the absurd reason for killing someone—that they refused to sign a contract of servitude—is enough to demonstrate the hardships of that era.

"Alright, now you all have the opportunity to choose a medicinal herb here. That's the entrance to the Core Circle, where the Demon Myriad Demon King has personally set up a test. Those who pass can enter. I hope you will all act according to your abilities."

After finishing her explanation, Bi Ji pointed to the location of the last Core Circle, reminded everyone to act within their capabilities, and then disappeared again.

As Bi Ji disappeared, everyone dispersed. The blonde woman and the green-haired woman were the first to head towards the Core Circle, followed by Xiao Yan, whom Chen Jianshu knew, and a woman with white hair and red eyes.

"A Shu, should we try to break into the Core Circle?"

Four figures headed towards the Core Circle first. Ye Xinglan looked at him and asked, while the others beside Chen Jianshu also looked over, waiting for him to make a decision.

On the other side, Long Yue, Huo Yunhao, and Dai Yun'er attempted to break into the Core Circle.

"Let's wait and see how the test set by Senior Demon Tree goes."

He decided to observe for a while, and the others nodded slightly and looked over as well. Gu Yue also slowly walked over and looked at the test set up by the Myriad Demon King.

The seven people opposite disappeared after stepping into the mist. Chen Jianshu and the others couldn't see them clearly, but Gu Yue could see them very clearly; it was just a small environment.

"Looks like we won't be able to see it. Let's go in and take a look; we're already here."

Chen Jianshu glanced at the divine artifact and successfully analyzed it. He then discovered that this Noble Phantasm had no restrictions on its use. Anyone could use a farmer's sickle; there was no distinction between high and low status.

As long as you have the will to cultivate, the power of farming will be at your disposal. This artifact amplifies the power of earth, water, wood, and life attributes, and it can also revitalize rotten land.

Six thousand years ago, the Abyss invaded Douluo. Wherever the Abyss set foot, the land was tainted and decayed by Abyss power. The second form of this divine artifact, the hoe, was specifically designed to revitalize the land.

After analyzing the artifact, the group immediately headed to the Core Circle. Looking at the misty environment, they all stepped inside together.

"A Shu, let's hold hands, so we don't get lost."

At this moment, Gu Yue took the initiative to grab his hand, and their intimate gesture stunned Xu Xiaoyan, Na'er, Wu Bingyu, and the others. "Wait, what are you doing?" Na'er angrily grabbed his other hand.

"Alright, alright, let's hold hands and walk together. This fog is strange, everyone be careful."
