CFSMS -Chapter 69 Farming – We Must Farm

Luo Xiaotian dared to be angry but not speak. He could only step forward obediently to help Lu Wu harvest the fruits.

The fruits were only the size of a fingernail, extremely difficult to pick.

To preserve their integrity, Luo Xiaotian practically had to hang himself off the cliff face.

The others also came to help one after another.

With many hands, work went quickly, and a large basket of “jumping fruits” was soon harvested.

Among the demon beast races, the jumping fruit plants were relatively gentle in temperament—but even mud figurines have three points of temper.

Especially when these human cultivators were right in front of them, crazily plucking their descendants, even stripping away their leaves without mercy.

Even plants wanted to look pretty.

The jumping fruits got angry.

The reason this species was called “jumping fruit” was because when they attacked, their fruits would detach from the vines and bounce toward enemies one after another.

Crackle—like rain striking banana leaves.

A large number of purple-black fruits fell from the sky, exploding on top of their heads.

A poisonous mist spread wildly.

The vines of the jumping fruit coiled along the cliff walls, whipping down like lashes.

The group easily dodged. For them, this level of attack was nothing—they could even continue harvesting while evading it without difficulty.

This blatant disregard completely enraged the jumping fruit.

Countless vines shot out, overwhelming the sky like a net, forming a cage that descended toward them.

Sword light flashed, cutting the vines apart.

Just as Qin Zhan felt satisfied, he realized those vines were merely a feint—their real target was Lu Wu standing below.

“Boss Lu, be careful!”

These beasts are too cunning, Qin Zhan shouted as he rushed to help.

Facing the overwhelming vines, Lu Wu was about to dodge when she suddenly heard roars.

Amid tiger roars and dragon chants, powerful beast auras enveloped the world. One after another, massive demon beasts appeared around Lu Wu.

They shielded her within their wings.

The vines that should have struck fiercely suddenly froze in midair. If the jumping fruit had eyes, it would now be filled with question marks.

We were allies—why are you all roaring at me for a human?

The jumping fruit felt wronged.

But it also understood that “those who understand the situation are the wise.” With so many demon beasts present, it had no chance of victory.

The vines drooped weakly along the cliff, surrendering.

Even if humans kept harvesting them freely, they no longer resisted.

Their “innocence”… could be gone, so be it.

With the protection of the beast pack, Lu Wu’s harvesting went smoothly.

Borrowing the power of beasts, she said goodbye to the little flower and continued toward the stone monument.

By now, it was dusk.

Sitting on the Gale Eagle’s back, Lu Wu was very close to the sky dome.

She watched clouds and rosy light flowing past her, listening to Qin Zhan and the others chatting, while opening her system panel.

The system had already notified her of the mission completion earlier, but she hadn’t had time to check it.

【Congratulations, Host. Mission completed. Cultivation has increased to Qi Refining Stage 9.】

【Congratulations, Host. You have obtained one lottery chance.】

A warm current washed through her body, making Lu Wu feel extremely comfortable.

As long as she completed one more mission, she could break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. At that point, she would truly step onto the path of long-life cultivation.

The world would open before her.

Lu Wu’s heart surged with anticipation, excitement hard to conceal.

She lay on the back of the Gale Eagle, admiring the endless sunset, and opened the lottery interface.

Rubbing her fingers together, she pressed down.

“O luck god, bless me… draw!”

The wheel spun rapidly—too fast for her to predict the result.

【Congratulations, Host. You have obtained: Blessed Paradise.】

【Note: This blessed paradise is a low-level pocket world. It can be upgraded by feeding it heavenly materials and earthly treasures.】

Lu Wu’s expression brightened instantly.

Who among those who read cultivation novels wouldn’t want a blessed land that can store items and even be used for farming?

Though… why did this description feel a little like it was encouraging consumption?

As for feeding it treasures, she didn’t think much about it for now.

The journey back was still long, and she immersed her mind into it.

The space inside the pocket world was about the size of two basketball courts—just as spacious as she had imagined.

But the land was completely barren, not even a single blade of grass.

She squatted down, rubbing the soil between her fingers. It was rich black earth, moist and filled with dense spiritual energy. At the edge of this land, a stream flowed quietly.

The source of the stream disappeared into endless mist, beyond her current reach, as if marking a boundary.

This place was perfect for growing spiritual herbs and raising living creatures.

In the Qingyuan Realm, most cultivators treated such blessed lands as second worlds for cultivation and nurturing.

It was said that the pocket worlds of great powers had already become independent worlds.

With this precedent, Lu Wu was not completely clueless—but she intended to take a different path.

Any restaurant, once it grows big enough, must control its raw ingredients from the source.

What could be more green and healthy than self-production and self-supply?

Farming. They must farm!

Lu Wu decided to build a composite farm inside this world—growing crops, raising livestock and poultry. She would expand this pocket world and eventually include all ingredients within it.

Whatever customers wanted in the future, she could simply pull out fresh.

Perfect service.

However, she wasn’t prepared yet, and development would have to wait until after leaving.

After taking a look around and finding nothing more interesting, Lu Wu exited the pocket world.

On the way back, many demon beasts had already dispersed.

They were all looking forward to the next day.

Huohuo curled up in Lu Wu’s neck, and that night she slept deeply and sweetly. The other three didn’t take watch; they simply leaned against each other and fell asleep.

In this secret realm, Boss Lu was an untouchable existence.

Anyone foolish enough to provoke her wouldn’t even need them to act—the demon beasts would tear them apart first.

Even after leaving, some beasts stayed behind to keep watch.

From mere “tools” to freeloaders, Qin Zhan had gradually become quite at ease with it.

After a full night’s sleep, Lu Wu woke refreshed.

It was still early. After washing up, she checked the One-World Communicator and saw that everyone outside was eagerly waiting for them to exit the secret realm.

Some were already shouting offers to buy materials from the realm at high prices.

Lu Wu was indifferent.

After the other three woke up, she began her work of the day. Even without a mission hanging over her head, she remained meticulous.

The jumping fruits were sterilized with Glazed Flame at high temperature.

She placed them all into a large basin and thought about changing her approach today.

Unlike fruits like mangoes, which naturally become richer when mixed, jumping fruits were different—they were extremely sour, sour enough to make one’s mouth water uncontrollably.

She didn’t want to ruin her reputation.

So she poured all the fruits into a pot, added honey, and began simmering them.

Yes—she planned to make jam.

No matter how sour something was, secondary processing could always change its taste.

Lu Wu was full of confidence—though the process was not very pleasant.
