Bai Yiling went to the village committee to find Shen Ruobing. She assumed their goddess Bai would know who had broken through.
Immediately, Cheng Xiaofan called Bai Yiling's mobile phone.
“Yiling, it seemed like someone just broke through, not far from the village committee. Do you know who it was?” he asked eagerly.
Bai Yiling said with a smile, “Xiaofan, it was Shen Ruobing who just broke through!”
“Ah, it hasn’t been long since Shen Ruobing last broke through at White Python Lake. She broke through so quickly again?” Cheng Xiaofan was astonished. Her breakthroughs were too fast.
The breakthroughs of ancient martial arts cultivators not only depended on their own unremitting efforts but also on whether their spiritual roots were pure and solid.
The most important thing was opportunity!
Opportunity was a catalyst from an external, coincidental force.
Like Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan, who achieved two breakthroughs in succession yesterday afternoon. Their opportunity was the Golden Tea and the delicacies made from the spatial realm.
So, what did Shen Ruobing rely on this time?
Bai Yiling heard Cheng Xiaofan’s question and said, “Xiaofan, it’s all thanks to your bracelet. As soon as Ruobing put it on, she suddenly had a feeling.”
“She kept telling me that she felt a mysterious power coming from the bracelet, and this power seemed to originate from a distant space.”
She couldn’t help but laugh, “Xiaofan, I didn’t expect the bracelet you made could help Ruobing achieve a new breakthrough. You’re amazing!”
“…” Amazing?
These words made Cheng Xiaofan almost unable to continue the conversation.
He never imagined that Shen Ruobing’s breakthrough would come from the mysterious power within the bracelet.
If word got out that wearing a bracelet could help Shen Ruobing break through, those cultivators would really not be able to live anymore.
What would those people think?
How could everyone who got close to Cheng Xiaofan achieve breakthroughs?
“Xiaofan, why aren’t you talking?” Bai Yiling asked from the other end of the phone.
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan snapped back to reality and said with a smile, “I’m just curious. A bracelet can help Shen Ruobing break through. This shows that her spiritual roots are really excellent!”
Bai Yiling smiled, “But in Ruobing’s heart, you intentionally helped her. She said you must have added some mysterious power to that bracelet!”
Cheng Xiaofan laughed, “Let her think whatever she wants. There are some things even I don’t know how to explain!”
Bai Yiling didn’t believe Cheng Xiaofan’s words at all.
In her opinion, her mysterious man must have had some unavoidable reasons, and some matters were inconvenient to disclose publicly, so he could only find a vague excuse to brush it off.
However, she would not press Cheng Xiaofan for things he didn’t want to say.
Everyone had their own secrets, just like her meeting with Cheng Xiaofan in a dragon boat in the starry sky in her dreams. She couldn’t tell anyone about it either.
“Yiling,”
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan reminded Bai Yiling again, “Ruobing’s breakthrough will definitely attract the attention of the cultivators from Nanshan Lake. They will definitely come to inquire.”
“At that time, you and Shen Ruobing should have a unified story. Don’t mention the bracelet. Just say she is my new disciple, and say nothing else!”
Bai Yiling seemed to understand and smiled, “Okay, I know what to do.”
“Alright, let’s end here!” Cheng Xiaofan immediately hung up the phone.
The cultivators currently active in the Nanshan Lake area were in a particularly sensitive period. Any slight disturbance in Zhuxi Village could attract their attention.
The reason Cheng Xiaofan had to remind Bai Yiling not to reveal anything about the bracelet was because his parents and others were wearing bracelets he made.
What if some cultivator, blinded by greed, decided to rob for the bracelets? The victim might suffer psychological trauma.
Although the bracelets Cheng Xiaofan made had defensive functions, it was best to avoid any trouble if possible.
Shen Ruobing’s new breakthrough was a very happy event for Cheng Xiaofan. It showed that the bracelets made in the spatial realm had immense power.
Cheng Xiaofan decided to go to White Python Lake to give Ye Shisan a bracelet.
When Cheng Xiaofan arrived at White Python Lake riding his Sky-Breaking Eagle, he found Ye Shisan busy working at the foot of the terraced mountain, wearing a straw hat he had woven himself, shielding himself from the sun.
He rode forward and saw that Ye Shisan was planting green beans.
“Old Ye, busy planting vegetables!” Cheng Xiaofan greeted him.
Upon seeing Cheng Xiaofan, Ye Shisan smiled, his two cheeks blooming like golden chrysanthemums, and said, “Yes, I’m free, so planting some vegetables to eat is also a good thing!”
He added, “The land here is too fertile. I sprinkled some small bok choy seeds last night, and they’ve already sprouted over an inch today. I expect I can pick some remy to make soup tonight!”
“This is truly a miracle!”
“Yes, the land here is rich in spiritual energy. Not only do the vegetables grow quickly, but they also taste quite good!”
Cheng Xiaofan did not mention that the soil had been modified by his spiritual rain.
He then curiously asked, “Old Ye, where did you get the vegetable seeds?”
Ye Shisan smiled and said, “I brought them with me. My bag is filled with all sorts of vegetable seeds.”
“I look like this strange appearance and am often chased. I can only take secluded paths, and sometimes I can’t find food for more than ten consecutive days.”
“At that time, I thought of a way. I stored some vegetable seeds in my bag. When I reached a place, I would find a piece of land and plant various vegetables, using them as my staple food.”
“For those I didn’t finish, I would harvest some seeds, and I could plant them again next time!”
Cheng Xiaofan heard this and patted him heavily on the shoulder, “Old Ye, you’ve had a hard life. Remember, from now on, you will never have to go through such a bleak and difficult life with me.”
“I know, I, Ye Shisan, see you as a kind-hearted person!” Ye Shisan’s eyes reddened, and tears welled up in his eyes again.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, “Old Ye, don’t be sad. Let’s go back to the villa and rest for a while!”
“Okay!”
Ye Shisan responded, put down his small hoe, and followed Cheng Xiaofan towards the bamboo villa.
Cheng Xiaofan said, “Old Ye, tilling the land and sowing seeds are the specialty of the Earthworm. You can sometimes ask them to help you.”
Ye Shisan shook his head repeatedly and said, “I prefer to do some things myself. I’m idle anyway. Besides, as an earth-element cultivator like me, I should interact with the soil more often and be closer to it. Only then can I make progress in my cultivation.”
“Mr. Cheng, whenever I see the flowers and plants growing on the land, and the crops, I feel a sense of closeness!”
“To be honest, in the future, I’d be willing to be an old farmer at the foot of the terraced mountain!”
