A Farm Stay in the Cultivation World

Looking down, one sees a mountain forest.

The area is covered by mountains and forests, and as far as the eye can see, there are towering mountains and dense forests.

On the other side, the sea stretches out to the horizon, seemingly endless.

The lines of the system point precisely to a location in this mountain forest that is closer to the sea.

"Between mountains and sea, could this be the origin of the name of this village, Mountain and Sea Village?"

With a thought to himself, Lu Changzhi controlled the Void Shuttle to descend a little.

Only in this way can one get a general idea of the village; in this vast mountain forest, the area of Mountain and Sea Village is quite small.

"The system displays information about the villagers in Mountain and Sea Village."

As the sound faded,

A moment later, a series of messages appeared before Lu Changzhi's eyes.

As his gaze swept over the area, Lu Changzhi was quite surprised.

"Aren't there any powerful figures living in seclusion?"

Lu Changzhi thought to himself softly.

With the help of the system's information, he roughly observed that the overall condition of the villagers in Mountain and Sea Village could be described as mortal, and their auras were also as ordinary.

"Perhaps it was the village's name that influenced the judgment."

After all, the name "Mountain and Sea Village" does sound quite grand.

Putting aside his thoughts, Lu Changzhi looked at Jin Fugui:

"Fugui, the village below is called Mountain and Sea Village, and it will be where you will live for the next six months."

Upon hearing this, Jin Fugui looked towards Mountain and Sea Village, a thoughtful expression on his face. He then looked away and asked:

"Master has instructed Danzi to reside here; is there something he needs to do?"

"There's nothing specific going on," Lu Changzhi said.

"Most of the villagers are ordinary people who don't cultivate. Over the next six months, you should try to integrate into their community. As for your cultivation, only use it when necessary. Otherwise, you are no different from ordinary people."

"Disciple understands." Jin Fugui nodded.

"Let's go down."

As soon as the voice fell, Lu Changzhi's mind stirred, his temperament became more restrained, and his appearance became somewhat ordinary. He put away the Void Shuttle, his figure landed in the mountains and forests below, and walked towards Mountain and Sea Village.

Soon, the scene of the small village appeared before the two of them.

It was evening, and not far away stood a large tree with a thick trunk and a lush canopy. Under it were elderly people and children, and when they saw the two approaching, their attention turned to them.

The elderly mostly reacted calmly, while the children were more curious, excited, and slightly wary.

At this moment, several middle-aged men with relatively simple clothing and bronze skin stepped out, looking at the group with slight wariness. The leader asked:

"What brings you two to our village?"

Lu Changzhi smiled slightly and said:

"I'm passing through and would like to stay in the village for a while. Is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged men exchanged glances, their wariness noticeably increasing.

"We can't decide this; the village chief has to give the order," the man said.

At that moment, a relatively aged voice came from behind:

"Could you two please speak privately?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged men made way for them.

Behind them, an elderly man gestured for them to come inside.

"Good."

Lu Changzhi nodded and led Jin Fugui into the house.

"You two must be cultivators, right?"

After entering the house, village chief Shi Qinglin asked:

"You've come to our little village, how long do you plan to stay?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi said:

"If it's suitable, six months would be convenient, I wonder?"

"Six months."

Shi Qinglin pondered for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, and did not answer immediately, but instead said:

"Both of you are cultivators, possessing abilities that we mortals lack. If you wish, please refrain from displaying them too much in your daily lives."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi smiled and said:

"The village chief can rest assured about that."

This is consistent with the limitations of the mission.

After chatting for a while, the accommodation arrangements were finalized.

Soon the village chief had someone take the two to a house that was still habitable.

"The arrival of cultivators in the village—I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."

Looking towards the house where Lu Changzhi and the other man were, Shi Qinglin sighed softly, his expression showing a hint of helplessness.

Cultivators are not like ordinary people; they do not use ordinary methods to take life or death.

The only saving grace is that these two boys are able to talk to each other.

On the other side, Lu Changzhi was inside the house.

This place is much more simple and unpretentious than many of the accommodations I've encountered before.

The room was simple and plain, with doors, windows, a bed, and a table; nothing else.

Lu Changzhi didn't pay much attention to it, but instead asked the system:

"System, tell me about the difficulties of this trial mission?"

He extended his divine sense to explore a large area around him, but there was no powerful concealment or unique aura.

Apart from its unusual name, Mountain and Sea Village is otherwise unremarkable.

This is significantly different from previous missions.

All of the previous ones, whether it was the Blood Devil's Trial, the random quests, or Qin Li's Trial, had a clear requirement.

While there are time restrictions, staying here isn't strictly a strict requirement.

"Reporting to Master, this mission has the following difficulties: transitioning from extravagance to frugality, the long duration, and the farewell," the system announced.

"Is it a transition from extravagance to frugality?"

Lu Changzhi glanced at the condition of the house, and compared to the living quarters and conditions for cultivation, it was indeed the case.

"Six months is indeed a long time for me, but this farewell..."

As they were talking, the system spoke up to remind them:

"Master, this trial is for your disciple Jin Fugui. As your master, you will not be affected in any way."

"That's true."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi smiled, no longer dwelling on the mission, and turned his attention back to the room.

Now that we're here, there's no rush to go back.

With the arrival of the Descent, returning to Hidden Origin Peak is merely a matter of a brief Descent.

"Just treat it as a trip for fun; this is like a rural retreat in the cultivation world."

Lu Changzhi spoke softly, his gaze sweeping around the village. The scenery, though not as stunning as the cultivation grounds, possessed a certain charm that was refreshing and delightful.

After tidying up briefly, Lu Changzhi got up and went to find Shi Qinglin to learn more about the village.

After taking only a few steps, I sensed someone running quickly towards me from the side of the village.

Lu Changzhi looked over.

Then they saw a burly young man with a slightly dark complexion, excitedly grabbing the feet of two wild pheasants, sweat beading on his face, his expression excited, shouting loudly towards the village:

"Houzi, Daniao, come quick! I've finally caught these two chickens!"

Hearing the sound, the boys and girls under the big tree all looked over, and their reactions varied:

"Wow, Brother Hei's amazing! The chicken he caught this time is huge!"

"That Dahei guy, we were supposed to go tomorrow, how come he's been caught already?"

Shh, don't make a sound, or your dad will see.

At the same time, a middle-aged man of similarly robust build walked out of the house and shouted:

"Daheizi, what time is it? Still running around catching chickens! Don't you ever learn? Your ass's itchy again, isn't it!"
