The Birth of the Plant and Geology Experts, Bringing a Goddess to the Provincial City

A celestial pond descended...

This pond was obtained by robbing Zhunti and Jieyin of their two cave mansions. It was rich in spiritual energy and would later become the Eight Treasures Merit Pool. This was because the two great figures of the Western Sect borrowed from the Heavenly Dao to achieve sainthood...

A large amount of merit was infused into the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, making it a major acquired merit spiritual treasure of the Western Sect. It was used to nurture a Golden Lotus Seed, which then bloomed into the Twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit...

"And this Golden Lotus Seed, plant it together in the celestial pond..."

Nuwa took out the Golden Lotus Seed from her Universe Bag and placed it on the celestial pond. A white mist rose, and countless specks of spiritual light, like fireflies, roamed throughout the entire valley.

In an instant, the world was transformed...

Fields of flowers bloomed...

Some harvested grains grew again...

A lush green mountain forest was rejuvenated with spring...

Numerous birds circled down from the sky...

Endless spiritual energy stretched for tens of thousands of meters. The air was filled with the fragrance of birds and flowers, fresh and invigorating, like a joyful paradise that made one reluctant to leave.

"Amazing! In this area of spiritual energy, I can use the strength of the early Foundation Establishment stage. Spiritual power is the foundation of everything," Chen Xuan said, raising his hand and conjuring a ball of fire, a basic spell.

"You weakling... can you even do it?" Houtu pouted.

"No... Sister Houtu... where did you learn 'weakling'? You are the elegant, noble, dignified, and majestic Ancestral Witch Houtu, a goddess of the Primordial World, and you're using vulgar language..." Chen Xuan felt distressed.

"Of course, I learned it in this later age... I am the queen, releasing charm and madness, what are you going to do about it..." Houtu shouted proudly, as if reciting a catchy tune, fully enjoying herself.

"It's over..." Chen Xuan felt the sky collapsing. The goddesses were being corrupted...

"You be serious too. You're both hundreds of millions of years old, why are you still acting like queens? Later, I'll need you to plow some land for Little Xuanzi. Can you do it?"

Nuwa began to give orders. As the mother of the earth, Houtu controlled the earth element, so she should be able to plow a piece of land.

"No... I am the Ancestral Witch Houtu, not a farmer. Your request is outrageous, I won't do it..." Houtu flatly refused...

"If you don't farm, what use are you in the later age? You have to work, cooperate, and share the labor. My brother is even planning to open a fortune-telling stall. You can't just eat all day..." Nuwa exercised her sister's prerogative.

"Heh..." Houtu sneered, "Absolutely impossible. If this gets back to the Primordial World, won't I be laughed to death? I will never farm in this lifetime..."

Nuwa was utterly speechless. What could she do when faced with such stubbornness at a crucial moment?

"Sister Houtu... how about I buy you a roasted goose and a roasted chicken tonight?" Chen Xuan played his trump card.

Houtu's eyes immediately lit up. As a foodie who could even trick her siblings, she was incredibly excited. She immediately said, "It's not just a little bit of land to plow. I am the Ancestral Witch Houtu, I control the earth, it will be a piece of cake..."

Nuwa was stunned on the spot...

Houtu, thinking of delicious food, became full of energy. She channeled spiritual power, and with the blessing of the celestial pond, the surrounding spiritual energy became much denser. A patch of land began to churn...

"How do you plan to loosen the soil? What's your plan?" Houtu asked.

"Turn it all into flat land, with a twenty-centimeter gap between rows. Planting areas will be one meter eighty wide, twenty-five centimeters high, with attention to drainage. Besides planting Dragon Tooth Rice..."

"This area is also very suitable for planting vegetables, fruits, and beans..."

Chen Xuan arranged everything. He was destined to be an agricultural magnate in the future. With the blessing of Primordial spiritual treasures and the resurgence of spiritual energy, the entire world would become beautiful because of him.

"Okay... I'll do it according to your requirements right away. Make sure to arrange good food later, or this sister won't let you off..."

Houtu controlled the elements with her hands, and the earth churned. Trenches opened up, and a piece of land was successfully plowed. With the modification of spiritual energy, fertile farmland emerged.

This feat shocked Chen Xuan. Tricking Houtu into farming in the later age was indeed a wise move. She was a perfect little farm girl...

"Nuwa... from now on, you will be the expert in planting farmlands, cultivating all sorts of crops. You will surely become a world-renowned professor and can teach at a school..."

"As for Sister Houtu, she will be the soil expert, discovering better, higher-quality soil, and a geological expert who improves the land..."

"You will both be future agricultural magnates..."

Chen Xuan was very excited. When great gods took action, you knew it. What agricultural experts, seed professors, and tech moguls, they were all waiting to tremble!

"Tch... what is all this? We are Primordial great powers. What are these names worth? Can experts put food on the table?" Nuwa was very disdainful, almost wanting to wash her ears.

"Alright... stop pretending. We want the later age to prosper and restore spiritual energy, so we can trace back to the source and see why the later age became the Age of Dharma's End," Houtu said decisively. Sisters always undermined each other.

"You little brat, I won't let you off," Nuwa said angrily and attacked.

"Heh... watch how this Ancestral Witch battles a great power of the demon race," Houtu retorted, clashing with her.

Two figures radiating charm, without using any powerful forces, engaged in a playful spar that echoed through the valley, much to Chen Xuan's delight...

They say watching beautiful women can prolong life. It must be true...

Chen Xuan glanced at the field, then at the celestial pond. Clouds and mist swirled around, a lotus seed was sprouting, gradually growing into a patch of lotus roots. Many birds landed in the mountains, dragonflies skimmed the water, and their crisp chirps echoed through the valley...

Whether the Twelve-grade Golden Lotus would grow in the future, Chen Xuan couldn't be sure...

"Nuwa... how much Dragon Tooth Rice can we plant?" Chen Xuan called out, breaking the playful banter between the two women.

Nuwa looked at the Universe Bag. There were about a thousand Dragon Tooth Rice seeds. With a wave of her hand, she planted them all. They would need spiritual energy to nurture and then be cultivated step by step.

In the Primordial spiritual fields, it would take one harvest per year. In the later age with its scarce spiritual energy, it would take at least two to three years, and the effect would be greatly reduced...

"Huh... when did this land get plowed?"

A surprised exclamation came from Mom Chen, who, along with the villagers, had finally arrived in the valley. Upon seeing the plowed fields, they were all dumbfounded.

"Mom... and all you uncles and aunties, come help plant vegetables this afternoon. I'll go buy some seeds later. You'll be working for me from now on, one hundred yuan a day..."

"As for food, you can only eat at home..."

Chen Xuan stated his price directly, not being stingy at all. Once things developed, he wouldn't lack money; he just needed to manage well.

"One hundred yuan..."

The villagers were all excited. Working in a factory outside to screw bolts only paid over two thousand yuan. Three thousand yuan in the village was practically a sky-high price...

"You brat..." Mom Chen called out exasperatedly. It was good that her son was successful, but he spent money recklessly; even mountains of gold and silver wouldn't be enough for him.

"You guys take your time looking around, we're heading back first..."

After making arrangements, Chen Xuan took Nuwa and Houtu home. They had a simple lunch of stir-fried cured meat with some spring vegetables cooked with Gan Zhu brand canned fish, and enjoyed a delicious meal.

Around two in the afternoon...

"Little Xuanzi... Sister Pingxin... I'll give you a ride in my car today. Let me show you my driving skills. I'm absolutely the god of modern three-wheeled vehicles."

Nuwa was very enthusiastic. Ever since the last joyride, she couldn't stop thinking about it. Since they were going into the city, she had to show off.

"Little Wa... Stop messing around." Fuxi covered his face. His sister was becoming more wild by the day. The cool, aloof older sister from before was long gone.

Nuwa stuck out her tongue, not bothering to explain. She had always been managed by Fuxi on Buzhou Mountain, and they were practically inseparable. Now, she had completely let herself go...

"Let's go, let's go... I want to eat roast goose, roast chicken, roast pork..." Houtu's foodie nature made her eyes practically sparkle.

"Let's go, let's go... Taking you bunch of primitives into the city is like a little cow hitting a utility pole – awesome and electrifying..." Chen Xuan couldn't help but tease.

He still vividly remembered the last time Nuwa drove a three-wheeled motorcycle, speeding all the way and nearly getting taken away by Police Uncle
