The sun sank in the west, and the horizon was awash in sunset clouds, crimson as fire and beautiful beyond measure.
A gentle breeze blew, stirring the Golden Wheat on the ground into rolling waves.
"So this is the wheat field Hei Family painstakingly cultivated. It is quite a grand sight." Gu Immortal Lu Qingming hovered high in the air, looking down as he spoke indifferently.
Hei Family had planted vast quantities of wheat here.
This wheat was called Golden Wheat. It ripened once every two years, but what it produced was not barley for people to eat, but a metal known as Golden Essence.
This land had originally been barren wasteland. It contained so many minerals that exposed ore veins had formed, leaving not a blade of grass able to grow.
Hei Family used Golden Wheat to mine this place. Not only had they displayed ingenious thought, but they had also poured immense effort into it. That was how this vast wheat field stretching over ten thousand li had come to be. Even from Lu Qingming's high vantage point, the field stretched as far as the eye could see.
Another person stood beside Lu Qingming.
His name was Su Guang, and he was a Light Dao Gu Immortal.
His eyes burned with eagerness as he gazed at the wheat fields below. "This Hei Family wheat field has long been famous throughout the Northern Plains. Every harvest yields at least a million jin of Golden Essence. This Golden Essence has always been one of Hei Family's major sources of income. Though it is merely rank five mortal material and of little use to us, if we gather it up and sell it, it will fetch a fine price."
Lu Qingming smiled and nodded. "It is indeed worth making a move."
