Hybrid Spirit Rice and Spirit Wheat Grain-abstinence Biscuits (Bonus Chapter, Please Read)

# Chapter 31: Hybrid Spirit Rice and Spirit Wheat Grain-abstinence Biscuits (Bonus Chapter for Follows)

Late night.

Yang Shi was studying the "Spring Wood Longevity Art" jade slip together with Jiang Xiaobai.

"You tell me how this thing is made—you have to put spiritual power into it to read the technique. I can't see anything holding it."

Jiang Xiaobai pursed her lips and smiled. "This cultivation technique jade slip isn't just text; it also contains spiritual power circulation traces. Without using spiritual power, you can't perceive it. Looking at just the text, it's nothing but a few sheets of waste paper."

"Oh, so it's different from us Martial Cultivators."

The "Clear Heart Art" he'd learned was just a book. He could slowly master it by following the instructions and practicing his breathing.

Thump thump thump~

Urgent knocking sounded from outside the door.

"Who!?"

Yang Shi startled, then pointed at Jiang Xiaobai's chest. She immediately grabbed the Moonlight Mirror in her hand.

At the same time, Yang Shi looked up at the ceiling. There was no instruction from the Old Ancestor, which put his mind slightly at ease.

Grabbing the Flowing Water Sword, Yang Shi cautiously opened the door.

Wah wah wah!

Awooo~

A person tied up like a trussed chicken and a wolf tied up the same way were curled up at the doorstep, whimpering.

"Big Brother, look—there's writing on the floor."

"The Old Beggar blocked a calamity for you, kid. I took all the coffee from the shop."

Yang Shi instantly understood what had happened and bowed in the direction of the distance.

"Thank you, Senior, for lending a hand!"

Ge Tan and the Iron Spine Azure Wolf had their spiritual power completely sealed by the Old Beggar. They were now like ordinary people, easily handled by Yang Shi.

"Huzi! Bring the whip!"

From the room next door, Huzi ran out excitedly, whip in hand.

"Brother Shi, which darkie do we whip today?"

"Not whipping any darkie today. We're whipping these two on the ground! Let's see if they still talk tough."

Smack!

"Ah!"

Huzi's opening stance already showed his professionalism. The whip landed on Ge Tan, making him jolt, a bloody mark appearing on his face.

"Spill it or not!"

Smack!

"Ah! Wah wah wah~~"

"Spill it or not!"

Smack!

"Ah! Wah wah!!!"

Smack smack smack smack!

After finishing a full Lightning Hundred Whips, even Huzi couldn't help but remark, "He's a tough man. Still won't talk after all that whipping."

"Wah!!!"

Ge Tan, covered in blood on the ground, writhed desperately, fury radiating from him.

Jiang Xiaobai said weakly, "Brother Huzi, it seems his mouth has been sealed this whole time."

Ge Tan: "!!!"

Pulling the Old Beggar's sock out of his mouth, Ge Tan screamed with a twisted face:

"Talk talk talk! Talk about what! You didn't even ask! You didn't let me open my mouth! Damn it!"

Smack!

Another whip landed on Ge Tan's mouth.

Huzi: "Big mouth."

With Huzi's 100 whips as a foundation, Ge Tan—a pampered young master who cultivated at home eating Spirit Food—spilled everything, even offering to lead them to the Green Bamboo Forest himself.

By this time, Yang Genshuo had also figured things out.

"So they wanted the Compressed Biscuit recipe for... a Spirit Cuisine recipe?"

"To make a low-grade version of the Grain-abstinence Pill?"

"A Grain-abstinence Pill sells for 2 Low-grade Spirit Stones? And the low-grade version can sell for 1?"

Yang Genshuo was astonished by this—if that were the case, then he could actually do it!

All he had to do was swap out the wheat flour used to make compressed biscuits for Spirit Wheat Flour.

"Perfect. I make them here and send them in—wouldn't that be like the Yang Family running a spirit stone printing press?"

He left the rest to Yang Shi.

After frantically working for a long time, Yang Genshuo could finally lie back and relax for a bit.

Time Acceleration.

[3 years, 305 days. All the rogue cultivators in Qingshi Marketplace have left. Murong Ziyan leads her disciples and the three demon cultivators away. Before leaving, Yang Shi gifts her a box of chocolates and a bag of candy, saying there will be new products next year. Murong Ziyan accepts them indifferently without saying much. When Yang Shi returns home, he finds three Defensive Talismans on his person.]

[Qingshi County returns to calm. But from the Yang Family Manor, the howls of wolves often ring out.]

[3 years, 318 days. Yang Shi achieves minor success in his inner breath, breaking through to Body Tempering Seventh Layer—Marrow Sea Blooming. He takes a 'Marrow Cleansing Pill,' and the medicinal power erupts, directly tempering him to the Great Perfection and bursting through to Body Tempering Eighth Layer—True Essence Convergence.]

[Yang Family Martial Virtue notably improves. Incense Value +150.]

[3 years, 320 days. Jiang Xiaobai learns the 'Spring Wood Longevity Art' and casts the spell 'All Things Grow,' causing the plants in the spirit fields to flourish even more.]

[Jiang Xiaobai's cultivation technique aligns with her own aptitude, triggering the talent 'Wood Affinity (Earth Grade).' Her cultivation speed significantly increases.]

[3 years, 333 days. After performing the tenth round of CPR on the Iron Spine Azure Wolf, the wolf, its mouth full of Fire Dragon Fruit, lowers its head and willingly becomes the Yang Family's Guardian Spirit Beast.]

[3 years, 355 days. The Low-grade Spirit Stone in Jiang Xiaobai's hand turns to powder. Absorbing its pure spiritual energy allows her to advance to Fetal Breath Stage Third Layer. She is in high spirits.]

[3 years, 365 days. The family begins the Ancestral Worship Ceremony.]

Yang Genshuo groggily woke up from the sofa, seeing that it was time for the annual ritual again.

[Your descendant Yang Shi has successfully completed this year's Ancestral Worship Ceremony.]

[Incense Value +10.]

[You have received offerings from the Yang Family members: 40 jin of Spirit Wheat, one box of Spirit Soil, and 100 Gu Jing Hui Yuan Pills.]

[Will you bestow a reward upon the Yang Family Descendant?]

In the game, Yang Genshuo kept speeding up and slowing down, which meant the latter half of the year took him two full days.

By now, the things he ordered from JD.com had all arrived.

Coffee powder, milk tea powder, candy, chocolates, and a box of exquisite Sanguosha cards.

He'd bought a full 30,000 yuan worth of supplies this time and tossed them all in without a second thought.

Over on Yang Shi's side, he accepted them with joy.

The milk tea was fine—he'd already figured out a simple recipe to make it himself.

But coffee powder? That stuff didn't exist over there. That greedy old beggar had swiped it all when he left!

Yang's Board Game Tea House nearly lost one of its signature drinks.

Leaving Yang Shi's affairs alone for now, Yang Genshuo got up from the sofa and checked the offerings this time. He'd arranged all of this with Yang Shi in advance—it had a big purpose.

He walked out of the study, casually snapped a branch off a tree, and clumsily swung through a set of moves from the "Traceless Sword Technique." His blood and qi flowed smoothly.

Mood +1 +1 +1.

After stretching his limbs, Yang Genshuo took a shower and checked himself in the mirror. His body was slimming down at an astonishing rate, and his skin was tight and smooth.

He stepped on the scale: 186 jin.

"Less than a week, and I've lost 14 jin. Unbelievable!"

At 1.8 meters tall, he'd been 200 jin before, with a noticeable belly and a round, puffy face. That greasy, middle-aged vibe from being 30 was painfully obvious. But now? His youthful look was back!

Seeing his body returning to a younger state, Yang Genshuo admired himself.

"I'm so damn handsome!"

In the courtyard, a thermal box held the lunch Lin Yue had made today. The Spirit Rice gave off an enticing aroma.

After wolfing down the meal...

Yang Genshuo loaded a large box of soil dug up from the spirit fields into the trunk of his Bentley Bentayga, tossed in a handful of Spirit Wheat, and got in the car.

He drove out of the gate.

Rolling down the window, he enjoyed the way passersby couldn't help turning their heads to look at the car. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Feels good!"

Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!

With the roar of the 4.0T engine, he drove toward Shimen Agricultural University.

After dropping off the large box of Spirit Soil in Cheng Bo's lab, he told him to hurry up and get the Hybrid Spirit Rice done.

Then, he drove to the nearest compressed biscuit factory—Hongfeng Food Factory.

This place used to be a hot employment destination for the Food Science and Engineering major next door, a state-owned enterprise powerhouse.

He remembered a few classmates had come here after graduation.
