Acai's Sky

Chapter 596 Midu Immortal Realm 49

(Happy New Year! January 2025, 1)

(I wish you all a happy family reunion and all the best!)

In the Land of Absolute Spirits, the temperature has dropped significantly, and there was even a light drizzle yesterday.

A Cai instructed A San to help the villagers of Xiangqian Village cultivate the land and plant potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other crops.

They also helped the village build a new and amazing granary, which has an amazing preservation ability, allowing the food stored in it to remain fresh for hundreds of years without any worry of rotting or spoiling.

The news spread quickly to every corner of the village like a spring breeze, and almost every household learned about the good news through their relatives and friends.

In just one month, all the surrounding villages had heard the good news that Xiangqian Village had received help from a noble person.

The villagers knew that from now on they would no longer have to worry about food and clothing.

At this moment, Acai was standing on the second floor of the bamboo building, gazing down at the small village.

She witnessed many relatives and neighbors coming to visit, and the whole village was filled with laughter and a strong festive atmosphere. The liveliness even surpassed the grand occasion of the New Year in the original world.

Even the home of the village chief, Uncle Gu, welcomed many relatives and friends.

At this time, Uncle Gu said to his mother-in-law enthusiastically: "Mother-in-law, if you need any help, just ask. Why come here in person?"

However, Uncle Gu already knew the real intention of his mother-in-law's visit.

Sure enough, the mother-in-law, Old Lady Song, asked directly: "Son-in-law, I came here today to find out where these high-quality grains here come from?

Not only do these grains taste great, but the yield is also so high, but is it true?

As an old lady, I was wondering if I could exchange some of these good varieties to take back and try planting.”

Ever since her son-in-law sent her family those delicious and high-yield grains, Old Mrs. Song has been thinking about them and longing to get these excellent seeds.

Uncle Gu carefully supported the old lady and slowly walked towards the vast fields in the village.

Along the way, the breeze gently caressed their cheeks, bringing with it a fresh scent of soil and grass.

When they finally arrived at their destination, what came into view was a field of lush, vibrant crops.

Since this area is dry and rainy all year round and water is extremely scarce, all the land belongs to the village collective and there is no such thing as individuals purchasing land.

Here, people practice true collective ownership.

On weekdays, most of the villagers working hard on these fields are elderly, weak or disabled.

Those strong and energetic young people chose to work in the mines, selling their labor in exchange for precious food.

Old Lady Song stood at the edge of the field, gazing intently at the green cornfields, her eyes gleaming with excitement, her inner joy evident in words:

"Oh! Look at the crops grown from these high-quality seeds, they are so pleasing!

I'm going to find a way to exchange some for some to try planting. Such good seedlings will definitely yield a good harvest!"

Hearing the old lady's words, the village chief Uncle Gu smiled and nodded, then took her to find Asan without saying a word.

After finding Ah San, Uncle Gu said straight to the point, "Brother Ah San, my mother-in-law has taken a fancy to your fine seeds and wants to trade some with you. Let's follow the old rules and exchange them for ore."

After hearing this, Ah San quickly nodded and agreed: "No problem! Not only good seeds, but even ready-made food, as long as you have enough ore, you can exchange it with me!"

When Old Lady Song heard this, a bright smile appeared on her wrinkled face. "I have to go home quickly. I still have a lot of ores at home."

……

Ah Cai widened her eyes and looked at the minerals brought by the villagers from the neighboring village in disbelief, secretly amazed in her heart.

These minerals are colorful and of various shapes, which is simply dazzling.

There are purple crystal stones that emit a mysterious glow, there are obsidian stones that are completely black but sparkle with silver light, and there are also jade stones that are as green and transparent as emerald... There are so many varieties and they are so beautiful.

At this time, Wu Xinghe was carefully holding a piece of mineral called "Beidou Golden Crystal", and he looked a little nervous and stiff.

He even felt that his hands and feet became clumsy when he walked, as if the extremely precious ore in his hand weighed a thousand pounds.

His cheeks flushed with excitement, and he could hardly contain his excitement. He lowered his voice and said to his senior sister, "Senior sister, look! The ores produced in this Absolute Spirit Realm are all the best of the best!"

On the other side, You Xingkong was even more delighted, and was so happy that he could no longer contain himself.

He quickly and skillfully helped Asan exchange minerals with villagers from neighboring villages.

Hearing his senior brother's words, You Xingkong quickly echoed, "That's right! Just look at the top-grade ores they've left. This piece of 'Formless Gold' alone is worth enough to feed their family for three hundred years!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

Feng Xingtong was stunned watching from the side. She couldn't help but reach out and pull You Xingkong's sleeve, and asked in a low voice:

"Hey, Fourth Brother, are you sure these minerals are really that valuable? I don't recognize many of them! Why do they look like the rocks we usually pick up by the river?"

When You Xingkong heard this, he almost couldn't help laughing. He turned to look at the little apprentice sister and said with an exaggerated expression:

"You really don't know what's important!

If these minerals were placed in our world of immortal cultivation, they would be priceless treasures.

It is generally not seen, only heard of.

Especially this piece of [Beidou Golden Crystal], it is said that it can only be found in the deepest part of the Absolute Spirit Realm. Its hardness is comparable to that of diamond, and it can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is an excellent material for making magical instruments!

Do you think they are worth the money?"

When Feng Xingtong heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at the [Big Dipper Golden Crystal] in You Xingkong's hand with disbelief.

She reached out and touched it gently, feeling the cool touch of the ore, and couldn't help but marvel in her heart.

At this time, Feng Xingtong had already exchanged all the ores. She excitedly ran to Ah Cai, grabbed her hand and said:

"Junior Sister Tong, we have really found a treasure this time!

Some of these ores can be used to create magical tools in the future.

Some of them can even improve our cultivation!"

Ah Cai was also very excited when she heard this.

She watched the villagers returning home with their loads filled with happy smiles on their faces, and she couldn't help feeling satisfied.

However, at this moment, the originally quiet and peaceful atmosphere was broken by a sudden burst of noise.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of young people dressed in gorgeous clothes and looking bright and handsome walking towards the village in a mighty manner.

They all held their heads high and had arrogant looks on their faces, as if the whole world revolved around them.

Following behind this group of young people were several burly thugs with ferocious looks and thick faces.

These thugs were rubbing their hands in preparation for a fight, with bulging waists that seemed to contain weapons. One could tell at a glance that they were not kind people.

When the villagers saw this scene, they all put down their busy work.

They quickly gathered together with full of curiosity and surrounded the uninvited guests.

The leader of the group of young men had a handsome face, but his raised chin and contemptuous eyes ruined his overall image, making him look particularly arrogant and domineering.

He shouted at the top of his voice: "I heard that a distinguished person has recently come to your remote village.

Also brought a lot of good seeds and food?

This young master has come here specially today just to see what's going on and get some food to try!"

After saying this, he burst into laughter, causing his companions around him to laugh as well.

Ah Cai, who had been observing silently from the side, couldn't help but frown after hearing these words.

She turned to look at the village chief, Uncle Gu, worriedly, and found that Uncle Gu also had a serious expression on his face, with his lips tightly pursed and not saying a word.

It was obvious that they knew nothing about this group of strange young people who suddenly broke into the village.

Just as everyone was looking at each other in bewilderment, a villager suddenly lowered his voice and said to the people around him:

"Everyone, be careful, I think these people are quite powerful.

I heard that they seemed to be descendants of the aristocratic Zhao family.

He is known in our area for being rude, unreasonable and domineering.

We must not provoke them this time, otherwise it will bring disaster!"

After hearing this, Ah Cai became even more alert.

She knew very well that these rich kids were not easy to mess with, and if she was not careful they could bring disaster to the village.

They can leave if they want, but the village is still here and the villagers have to continue living.

She looked at the group of young people and saw that they were all arrogant and didn't take the villagers seriously at all.

Especially the young man in the lead, he was extremely arrogant, as if the whole world revolved around him.

The young man continued, "Hey, you country bumpkins, what are you still doing standing there?

Hurry up and bring out the food and seeds. I will exchange them with you for ore!"

Upon hearing this, the village chief, Uncle Gu, stepped forward and said, "Young Master, the grain and seeds in our village are for self-sufficiency and we do not intend to sell them to outsiders. Please return."

When the young man heard this, he immediately got angry. He pushed Uncle Gu away and cursed:

"Who the hell are you?

How dare you talk to me like that!

If you don't hand over the grain and good seeds today.

This young master will destroy your village!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, signaling the thugs behind him to come forward.

Seeing this, the villagers were frightened and took a few steps back.

At this moment, Feng Xingtong stepped forward and stood in front of the villagers.

She looked at the young man and said coldly, "Humph, they're just a bunch of bullies! Watch out!"
