Tiger Leopard Forest

Chapter 17: Tiger Leopard Forest

Woke Up Too Suddenly, saw someone casting a spell on the Yang Family Spirit Field.

Yang Genshuo rubbed his eyes and looked again. Jiang Xiaobai was sitting outside the spirit field, cross-legged on the ground, palms flat on either side of her body, a faint glow emanating from her.

Yang Genshuo's heart stirred, and he opened Jiang Xiaobai's Character Card.

[Name: Jiang Xiaobai]

[Gender: Female]

[Identity: Proprietor of Yang's Board Game Tea House]

[Lifespan: 16/100]

[Realm: Fetal Breath stage Layer 1]

[Spiritual Roots: Five Spiritual Roots (Metal: 17, Wood: 23, Water: 20, Fire: 20, Earth: 20)]

[Comprehension: 20]

[Luck: 20]

[Talent: Wood Affinity (Earth Grade)]

[Skills: Mysterious Stone Qi Guiding Technique, Spirit Rain Technique]

"It really is her."

"Sigh, I knew someone with spiritual roots wouldn't be that simple."

"How could an ordinary family give birth to a child with spiritual roots?"

Yang Genshuo's thoughts drifted back to the day two years ago when he took Jiang Xiaobai in.

On that day, after being excited about finding an SR Card, he calmed down and made a special decision.

Not to tell Jiang Xiaobai that she possessed spiritual roots.

To keep this a secret until Yang Shi died.

"Once cultivating, the immortal path is vast and uncertain, no need to ponder, who can forget?"

Jiang Xiaobai's natural lifespan was 100 years, while Yang Shi was only 70. Yang Shi was also 4 years older than her.

This meant that normally, Yang Shi would die, and she would still live for another 34 years.

If she were to cultivate, her lifespan would be even longer.

At that time, Jiang Xiaobai, with his profound cultivation, would become the true controller of the Yang family. This was not what Yang Genshuo hoped to see.

However, reality would not follow his script. Jiang Xiaobai himself embarked on the path of cultivation.

He glanced at the records. Three months ago, Jiang Xiaobai took two Low-grade Spirit Stones from Yang Shi.

It took him three months to enter the ranks of Cultivators.

"Even if the Spirit Rain Technique is simple, you still need someone to teach it to you, right?"

"Where did the Mysterious Stone Qi Guiding Technique come from?"

"Jiang Xiaobai, how much have you been hiding?"

Yang Genshuo rubbed his face, feeling that things were beyond his control. Even the Spirit Rain falling from the sky couldn't make him happy.

In a way, Yang Shi and Yang Genshuo's thoughts were quite aligned.

The moment Yang Shi saw Jiang Xiaobai casting rain, he probably understood why the Old Ancestor had told him to take Jiang Xiaobai in and treat her well.

"Brother, I've succeeded!!"

"I'm a Cultivator now, I can protect you from now on!"

A thousand thoughts flashed through his mind. In the end, looking at Little Potato, who was running towards him with a joyful face, he still hugged her and dotingly stroked her head.

"Silly girl."

"Cultivating is so amazing, am I, a Half-step Innate Grandmaster, proud?"

"From now on, you'll do Farming for me!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked up from Yang Shi's embrace, her face flushed, and whispered:

"It's our home."

Things had reached this point. No matter how many plans Yang Genshuo had, he had to yield to the changes.

"I hope this is a good thing for the Yang family."

Thinking of the smiles of the two people embracing in that world, Yang Genshuo also gave a helpless smile:

"At least from the current perspective, it is a good thing."

The Yang family had its first Cultivator.

"Although Jiang Xiaobai's spellcasting is very strenuous, and her Spirit Rain Technique doesn't have the same blessing effect as mine, it has the advantage of being sustainable and free every day. This will save my meager [Incense Value] and allow me to fully help Yang Shi activate [Blessing: Vitality]."

He glanced at the Incense Value, which was still 104 points.

"This [Incense Value] isn't even enough to activate buffs daily. Are there any fast ways to increase Incense Value?"

He looked at the introduction about [Incense Value].

[Incense Value has infinite uses. It is the bond between you and your descendants. The family's growth will yield Incense Value. (More miraculous uses will be unlocked as the family grows.)]

"Family growth? Family development?"

He filtered through the historical messages and found all the methods for increasing Incense Value.

He summarized the following tags.

"Faith, Wealth, Personnel, Martial Power, Cultivation Tech Tree."

"Incense Value has been added in these 5 aspects. Faith can only be earned occasionally from Yang Shi, very little. Can do Carrot Chicken."

"As for Wealth. The family's total assets increase will yield Incense Value."

He glanced at the most recent record.

[Acquired the first Low-grade Spirit Stone, Incense Value +50.]

Personnel is fine. Huzi can lead the Rangers to capture more Black Ghosts to supplement the manor, accumulating slowly.

Martial Power is helpless. He can only watch Yang Shi slowly level up by himself.

"The Cultivation Tech Tree is interesting. The first time you do something related to cultivation, it will be triggered, like farming."

[Yang Family's first time sowing Spirit Field, Incense Value +50.]

[First harvest of Spirit Rice, Incense Value +50.]

The rewards are very generous.

"It's like the game's Achievement System."

With this summary, Yang Genshuo had a plan.

"Develop, farm, earn Spirit Stones."

"It would be great if I could find a few more Spirit Fields."

Yang Genshuo really liked Cloud Farming.

This one mu of Spirit Field was not enough to play with.

"Maybe I can have Yang Shi go out and look. What if there are undiscovered Spirit Fields?"

Under his entire 3D Overhead View, as long as the Spirit Field wasn't hidden inside a cave, he could see a faint blue light.

[Divine Manifestation].

"Your strength has improved now. Go out of the city more and look for new spirit fields. A wisp of my soul is attached to you, and I can sense spirit fields within 100 meters around you."

"Okay, Old Ancestor!"

After spending a long time together, Yang Shi felt that this immortal cultivation ancestor, who only had a soul left, was very kind and had no airs, just like his father, treating him well unconditionally.

Thinking of his father, his mind flashed back to the scene of his entire family covered in blood when he was six years old, and he clenched his fist tightly.

"One day, I will make your Xiang Family pay their blood debt with blood!"

Time Acceleration.

[Year 2, Day 189: Yang Shi led Huzi and 10 Rangers at Body Tempering Stage 3 out of the city and headed to the rarely traveled Tiger Leopard Forest. They were ambushed. Huzi used Gale Blade Technique to execute 2 adult tigers and collected 12 precious herbs. No spirit fields were found.]

[Year 2, Day 193: Yang Shi led the team to Tiger Leopard Forest again. They killed several wild beasts and collected 8 precious herbs. No spirit fields were found.]

[Year 2, Day 200: Yang Shi set out again and was surrounded by fierce beasts. The entire team was injured and fled in a sorry state.]

[Year 2, Day 215: The spirit rice had been completely dried. Jiang Xiaobai shelled it to obtain spirit rice and steamed it into rice for Yang Shi to eat. Both of their bodies were nourished by spiritual energy.]

[You used Blessing: Vitality on Yang Shi. Yang Shi's training speed has increased.]

Time passed with Yang Shi's body tempering and expeditions, until the end of this year.

[Year 2, Day 348: Yang Shi ventured deep into Tiger Leopard Forest and encountered a Flame Giant Tiger at Fetal Breath Stage 5. Its claws spewed fire, and anything it touched turned scorched black. Yang Shi's team fought it for a long time. 3 Rangers died, and the entire team was injured. After a sneak attack with an Electric Baton, they killed the Flame Giant Tiger with Traceless Sword Technique.]

[In the Flame Giant Tiger's lair, Yang Shi found a small tiger that was still sleeping and a Lava Fruit Tree. The land beneath the fruit tree was shining with a faint light.]

"Good! Hard work pays off. After searching for half a year, I've finally found something good."
