The Birth of a Plant Expert and a Geology Expert, Taking the Goddess to the Provincial Capital

An Immortal Pond descended...

This was a pond obtained by robbing the cave abodes of Zhunti and Jieyin. It was brimming with spiritual energy and would later become the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, because the two leaders of the Western Teachings had borrowed from the Heavenly Dao to become Saints...

The Eight Treasures Merit Pool was infused with a massive amount of merit, becoming one of the Western Teachings' postnatal Merit Spiritual Treasures. From it, a Golden Lotus Seed was nurtured, blooming into the Twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit...

"There's also this Golden Lotus Seed. Let's plant it in the Immortal Pond too..."

Great God Nuwa took the Golden Lotus Seed from the Universe Bag and dropped it into the Immortal Pond. A white mist billowed upward, and countless specks of Spiritual Light, like fireflies, drifted throughout the valley.

In an instant, heaven and earth were transformed...

Flowers bloomed across the fields...

Some of the harvested rice grew back once more...

A lush green forest burst into spring...

Countless birds circled down from the sky...

The endless spiritual energy stretched more than ten thousand meters into the distance. Birds sang, flowers bloomed, and the air was fresh and invigorating. It was like a joyful paradise where no one would ever want to leave.

"Amazing! Within this region of spiritual energy, I can use the strength of the early Foundation Establishment stage. Spiritual power truly is the foundation of everything." Chen Xuan raised one hand and conjured a ball of fire, using a basic spell.

"Weak Dog... are you even up to it?" Houtu curled her lips.

"No... Sister Houtu... where did you learn to say 'Weak Dog'? You're the elegant, noble, graceful, and domineering Ancestor Witch Houtu, a Primordial Goddess of your generation, yet vulgar words have taken over..." Chen Xuan felt utterly dejected.

"Of course I learned it in this later age... I'm the queen, releasing my charm and madness. What's it to you..." Houtu shouted proudly, spouting it as smoothly as a rhyme and clearly having a great time.

"This is the end..." Chen Xuan felt as if the sky were falling. The goddesses had all been corrupted...

"You should act a little more proper too. You're all over a hundred million years old, so why are you still pretending to be a queen? Later, turn over some soil for Little Xuanzi. Can you do it?"

Great God Nuwa began giving orders. As Mother Earth, Houtu controlled the earth element and should be able to turn over a patch of land.

"No... I am Ancestor Witch Houtu, not a farmer. That request is absurd. I refuse..." Houtu rejected her outright...

"If you won't farm, then what use are you in this later age? You have to work. We'll divide the labor. My brother is even planning to set up a fortune-telling stall, so you can't spend all day eating..." Nuwa exercised her authority as the older sister.

"Heh..." Houtu sneered. "Absolutely not. If those words reached the Primordial World, wouldn't I be laughed to death? I'll never farm in this lifetime..."

Great God Nuwa was speechless. What was she supposed to do when her younger sister became willful at a crucial moment?

"Sister Houtu... how about I buy you a roast goose and a roast chicken tonight?"

Chen Xuan brought out his trump card.

Houtu's eyes immediately lit up. As a glutton who could even be coaxed by her brothers and sisters, she was incredibly excited. She promptly said, "It's not just a little patch of land. I am Ancestor Witch Houtu, and the earth is under my control. This will be effortless..."

Nuwa was rendered numb on the spot...

The thought of delicious food filled Houtu with energy. She raised one hand and channeled her spiritual power. With the support of the Immortal Pond, the surrounding spiritual energy had grown much denser, and the land began to churn...

"How do you plan to loosen the soil? Do you have any plans?" Houtu asked.

"Turn it all into level ground. Leave twenty centimeters between each section. Each planting bed should be 1.8 meters wide and twenty-five centimeters high. Pay attention to drainage. Besides planting Dragon Tooth Rice..."

"This area is very suitable for growing vegetables, melons, fruits, beans..."

Chen Xuan gave his instructions one by one. He was destined to become an agricultural tycoon in the future. With Primordial treasures providing support and Spiritual Energy Revival underway, the whole world would become a better place because of him.

"All right... I'll follow your instructions right away. You'd better arrange some delicious food later, or Big Sis won't let you off..."

Houtu used her elemental control. The earth churned, and furrows split open one after another. A patch of land was successfully turned over. Combined with the transformation brought by the spiritual energy, fertile farmland emerged.

The might of this move shocked Chen Xuan. Tricking Houtu into farming in the later age had truly been a wise decision. She was absolutely a little farmer girl...

"Great God Nuwa... from now on, you'll be an expert in farming. By cultivating all kinds of crops, you'll definitely become a world-famous professor and be able to teach at a school..."

"As for Sister Houtu, you'll be a soil expert, discovering better and higher-quality soil. You'll be a geology expert who improves the local environment..."

"You'll both become agricultural tycoons of the future..."

Chen Xuan was extremely excited. One could tell whether something was good as soon as a great god took action. All those agricultural experts, seed professors, and technology tycoons could tremble in anticipation!

"Tch... what nonsense are you talking about? We're mighty figures from the Primordial World. What does some title matter? Can an expert be eaten?" Great God Nuwa was full of disdain, practically ready to wash her ears.

"All right... stop pretending. We'll make the later age prosperous and restore the spiritual energy. Only then can we trace things back to their source and see why the later age became the Age of Dharma's End." Houtu was very straightforward. After all, sisters were meant to undermine each other.

"You little brat, this palace won't forgive you." Great God Nuwa was furious and attacked directly.

"Heh... watch how this Ancestor Witch battles a mighty figure of the demon race." Houtu refused to back down and charged straight at her.

The two dazzling figures did not use any powerful strength. They merely frolicked and played, their laughter echoing through the valley and delighting Chen Xuan...

Experts said that looking at beautiful women more often could help one live longer. It was true...

Chen Xuan inspected the fields, then glanced at the Immortal Pond. Clouds and mist swirled around it, and a lotus seed was sprouting, gradually growing into a lotus root. Many birds descended into the mountains, while dragonflies skimmed the water, their crisp sounds echoing through the valley...

Chen Xuan could not say for certain whether a Twelve-grade Golden Lotus would grow in the future...

"Great God Nuwa... how many Dragon Tooth Rice seeds can we plant?" Chen Xuan called out, interrupting the two women's play.

Nuwa checked the Universe Bag. There were more than a thousand Dragon Tooth Rice seeds. With a wave of her hand, she planted them all. They needed to be nurtured by spiritual energy and cultivated step by step.

In the Primordial World's spiritual fields, they produced one harvest a year. In the later age, where spiritual energy was scarce, they would take at least two or three years, and the results would be greatly diminished...

"Huh... when were all these fields turned over?"

The exclamation came from Mom Chen, who had finally arrived at the valley with the villagers. The moment they saw the prepared fields, they were all dumbfounded.

"Mom... and all you uncles and aunts, come help plant vegetables this afternoon. I'll go buy some seeds later. From now on, work for me. I'll pay a hundred yuan a day..."

"As for food, you'll have to eat at home..."

Chen Xuan named his price directly and showed no stinginess. Once things developed, he would not be short of money. They just had to work hard.

"A hundred yuan..."

The villagers were all excited. Working in a factory outside and tightening screws paid only a little over two thousand a month, while in the village it was three thousand. This was practically an astronomical offer...

"You brat..." Mom Chen shouted angrily. It was good that her son had made something of himself, but he was too careless with money. Even a mountain of gold and silver would not be enough for him.

"You all take your time looking around. We'll head back first..."

After making the arrangements, Chen Xuan took Nuwa and Houtu home. At noon, they simply stir-fried some cured meat, added some Gantong-brand canned fish with spring vegetables, and enjoyed a delicious meal.

Around two in the afternoon...

"Little Xuanzi... Sister Pingxin... Today, I'll drive you two around. Let me show you my driving skills. I'm definitely the god of modern tricycles."

Nuwa was very enthusiastic. Ever since her last joyride, she had been unable to forget it. Since they were going into the city, she absolutely had to show off.

"Little Wa... don't fool around." Fuxi covered his face. His little sister was becoming wilder and wilder. The aloof older sister he once knew was long gone.

Nuwa stuck out her tongue and refused to explain. Back at Buzhou Mountain, Fuxi had always kept an eye on her, and the two had been practically inseparable. Now she had completely let herself go...

"Let's go, let's go... I want roast goose, roast chicken, roast meat..." Houtu's gluttonous nature shone through, and her eyes practically glowed.

"Let's go, let's go... I'm taking you primitive people into the city. This is like a heifer crashing into a power pole—bullshit and lightning..." Chen Xuan could not help complaining.

The last time Nuwa drove a motorized tricycle, she had sped all the way and nearly been taken away by the police. The memory was still fresh...
