Raising True Dragons and Phoenixes in a Small Mountain Village

Profound Heaven Realm.

Southern Region, Fire Kingdom.

Outside Liyang City, a remote small mountain village.

Li Fan walked out of the simple courtyard, holding a bowl of corn kernels in his hand. He called out a few times, and a group of free-range chickens in the yard ran out.

He sprinkled the corn kernels to feed the chickens, then walked to the pond and threw bait to a group of golden carp. Only then did he go to the vegetable patch on the side to weed and loosen the soil.

After a long while, Li Fan's face was covered in a thin layer of sweat. He sat down under a peach tree to rest.

Li Fan looked at the fruit on the peach tree and smiled with relief.

Actually, Li Fan was not a native of the Profound Heaven Realm.

He was a young man from the 21st century who had inexplicably transmigrated to this world.

This world revered cultivators. Legends said there were countless powerful beings, even Immortals!

As a transmigrator, Li Fan naturally yearned for immortality. He had once gone to a sect in the Southern Region to seek a master, but after testing, he was found to be a complete Wasted Body.

In despair, Li Fan unexpectedly awakened the System!

Just as he was overjoyed and ready to soar to the heavens with the System's help, he discovered that the System was incredibly troublesome!

It required him to complete six hundred and sixty-six tasks before it would open an invincible cultivation path for him, and upon completing the tasks, he would become an unparalleled powerhouse in the world.

Over the past three years, the System's tasks included, but were not limited to:

Raise Chickens: Capture two wild chickens and successfully domesticate them, reaching a population of over twenty.

Feed Fish: Raise a group of small fish to adulthood.

Plant Trees: Plant a peach pit, carefully tend to it, and wait for the peach tree to bear fruit.

Dig a Well: Personally dig a usable well.

Plant Vegetables: Cultivate a thriving vegetable garden.

In short, he hadn't missed a single task a farmer would do!

Of course, there were other tasks as well, such as the System forcing him to practice calligraphy for three months and painting for three months...

The System also occasionally provided him with basic daily necessities, like a Hoe, a Wood-cutting Knife, Seeds, etc., as well as some simple books, such as: Postpartum Care for Sows, How to Get Chickens to Start Eating, 304 Ways to Chop Firewood...

For three years, Li Fan had become numb.

"System, the peach tree has borne fruit. What's the next task?"

Looking at the peaches on the peach tree, Li Fan asked.

"Be helpful. Help Old Man Wang, who is disabled, chop firewood."

The System's voice sounded.

The System often issued strange and quirky tasks, such as bringing Aunt Zhang some fruit, or helping Uncle Li hoe his field... He had done tasks like this before.

He fastened his axe and picked up the rope for bundling firewood, then went out.

As soon as he stepped out, the aura of the simple courtyard suddenly changed. The Great Dao roared, and dragon roars shook the heavens!

In the pond, dragon shadows soared into the sky. Golden, resplendent Divine Dragons were fighting over the bait Li Fan had just sprinkled!

"You bunch of foolish Dragons, settle down! Master hasn't gone far yet. Do you want to die?!"

An old mother hen pecking at corn suddenly looked up at the pond!

In an instant, colorful auspicious clouds like a waterfall erupted behind the old mother hen, and a massive Divine Phoenix phantom covered the sky!

Over at the pond, countless dragon shadows instantly vanished, and peace was restored. A group of golden carp swam about.

"Phoenix Mother, our Dragon Clan is not afraid of you!"

Faintly, a majestic voice rang out.

"Phoenix Mother is saving you."

At this moment, even the peach tree actually spoke, with an incredibly pleasant female voice: "I feel like Lord is getting more and more terrifying. He sat beneath me for a while just now, and the Immortal Peach almost ripened directly..."

The courtyard fell silent for a moment.

Coming out, the villagers greeted Li Fan warmly.

This place was very secluded, and the villagers were very simple and honest. They were very grateful for Li Fan's daily help.

"Little Li, be careful when you go out today. I saw some cultivators coming to our area this morning when I returned from outside!"

"Those people are very powerful!"

Aunt Zhang exhorted with concern.

"Okay, Aunt Zhang."

Li Fan replied and left the village.

This mountain village is remote; no one usually comes here. Why are there cultivators here all of a sudden?

Thinking of cultivators, Li Fan immediately felt a sense of longing.

But that had nothing to do with him now.

Not long after, Li Fan appeared outside Red Leaf Valley.

Perhaps due to its geography, Red Leaf Valley looked as if it had been set ablaze from afar, with the leaves of the vegetation all a fiery red.

Just as Li Fan was about to enter the valley, he suddenly noticed a team ahead.

The people in the group were dressed exceptionally well, all very lavishly. Moreover, their mounts were all snow-white, tall steeds. Currently, the group was discussing something.

"Saintess, do you really have to go in person and risk danger? This is a death trap! Even the Progenitor perished inside…"

A middle-aged man looked worriedly at the young girl leading the group.

The young girl was wearing a green water dress that accentuated her exquisite figure. Her face was incredibly beautiful, with a perfectly upturned nose, large, limpid eyes, and long, fluttering eyelashes. Looking at the mountain valley ahead, she took a deep breath:

"There's no other way. Whether we can obtain what's in the valley is a matter of my sect's survival!"

"As the Saintess, I, Mu Qianning, bear this responsibility without fail!"

"Moreover, we are fully prepared this time; it's not like we have absolutely no chance!"

"Ren Hong, if you're afraid, you can wait for me outside."

Sensing the resolute determination in Mu Qianning's words, the middle-aged man puffed out his chest and said, "I am willing to follow the Saintess and give my life for the survival of Lihuo Sect!"

Mu Qianning nodded with satisfaction and said, "Everyone, dismount!"

Dozens of people dismounted, about to enter the valley.

"As expected of a death trap, just approaching it makes my heart pound!"

Ren Hong's face changed drastically. He was a cultivator at the early Golden Core stage!

However, his intuition told him that this place was dangerous, extremely dangerous!

Mu Qianning also took a deep breath and said, "Everyone put on your Dao Protecting Clothes. Wait for me to use Dao Patterns to break through this barrier before we enter!"

She stepped forward, holding an ancient, cracked Formation Disk in her hand!

"Open!"

She let out a low cry, and immediately, sand and stones flew in front of them!

Ren Hong's pupils widened in shock. He saw chaotic energies that could destroy everything, a terrifying threat capable of annihilating Golden Cores…

"Let's go!"

He led his people and followed Mu Qianning, charging in!

From behind, Li Fan saw this scene and was confused.

What were these people doing?

Making such a fuss, he didn't know what was going on. With so much dust, it's not environmentally friendly!

No manners.

But he didn't want to bother with them and prepared to enter the valley himself.

Ahead.

"Ah–"

"No!"

The Dao Protecting Clothes on Ren Hong and the others shattered under the impact of countless chaotic Great Dao energies!

They all fell to the ground, in extreme pain.

Ren Hong couldn't hold on any longer and slumped to the ground dejectedly.

Mu Qianning walked a few more steps forward, but at this moment, the Formation Disk in her hand cracked into two pieces!

Countless Great Dao energies impacted her. The ripples on her green water dress protected her, but in just three seconds, countless holes appeared on the dress, revealing her snow-white skin!

"No…"

A tear fell from Mu Qianning's beautiful eyes!

This death trap was even more terrifying than she had imagined.

They couldn't even get past the first barrier!

And they were about to perish here!

Am I going to die…

"Saintess, look!"

Just then, Ren Hong suddenly shouted!

Mu Qianning looked in the direction he pointed and saw, not far away, amidst the extreme chaos of countless Great Dao energies, a figure was walking as if on level ground, appearing extremely leisurely!

The chaotic energies that could easily destroy even Golden Core cultivators were completely ineffective against him!

Mu Qianning's beautiful eyes narrowed.

She had observed the weakest point of the Great Dao's energy flow on this level and attacked it, yet she was still in such a sorry state. But he, on the other hand, had walked in from the most terrifying and chaotic area, completely unharmed?!

Seeing him as if he were a savior, she hurriedly shouted:

"Senior, save me!"

Li Fan, who was about to bypass this group of people and enter the valley, suddenly froze.

He looked left, then looked right.

He confirmed no one else was around.

He couldn't help but feel a little perplexed and said, "Miss, are you calling me?"

Senior?
