Chapter 316: Chapter 287: Contempt, Suitable_1

What does it matter if one was an Ancient Great God?

Now isn’t he just an ordinary human?

What use is such high divine status?

Now he still knows nothing and can only rely on his pet?

The Snake King looked down on Huo Yingjie!

"Right, Snake King, during this period, I haven’t seen you around. You must have been cultivating," He Tiantian said. Before, the Snake King would insist on going to the cave in the back mountain every day, but now he hid inside the barrier all day without coming out.

The Snake King felt melancholic and said, "Actually, I also want to come out often to relax. But I still need to cultivate. Without cultivation, I won’t be able to get through the Six-Day Mysterious Thunder, the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder. If that happens, I’ll have no choice but to face death."

He Tiantian wanted to persuade the Snake King not to work so hard, but she swallowed her words before they left her mouth.

Home, to sentient beings or animals, is incredibly important.

Putting herself in his shoes, she wouldn’t want to leave her home or her family. She knew the Snake King felt the same.

So, it would be wrong to speak against her conscience.

"Snake King, as long as you work hard, you will always be rewarded," He Tiantian encouraged, "The more you strive now, the less you’ll suffer when it’s time for your Tribulation. Be fully prepared so that when the opportunity arises, you can seize it without hesitation."

He Tiantian sincerely offered much "psychological chicken soup" for the Snake King’s comfort, hoping it would help.

The Snake King naturally understood this principle and said, "This great king knows what’s in his heart. Take good care of yourself. When your parents leave Qijia Village, go to the cave behind the mountain..."

"Mhm, mhm, mhm, I’m keeping track of the days!" He Tiantian nodded repeatedly. She knew that the day for her to donate blood was approaching again.

After the Snake King spoke, he entered the barrier to continue his cultivation.

The next morning, He Tiantian got up early to cook. By the time Third Grandma Qi, He Jingyu, and Wang Shuping got up, the table was already set with food.

He Jingyu handed He Tiantian three days’ worth of meal tickets and money. Third Grandma Qi scolded, "You’re here to eat, why would you need meal tickets!"

"Stepmother, we receive allowances when we are on business trips. If we ate at someone else’s place, we’d also have to pay," He Jingyu explained, "We’re all family, there’s no need for formalities."

"You still can’t take them. You’re only staying for three days this time, and we have enough food at home. If you’re going to stay in Qijia Village for longer in the future, then I would ask you for them," Third Grandma Qi insisted, refusing to accept the meal tickets, as that would mean treating them as outsiders.

Seeing this, He Tiantian said, "Dad, put it away. If Grandma says she won’t take it, she definitely won’t."

He Jingyu had no choice but to put away the meal tickets and money, saying, "All right, next time I come, I’ll just bring some grain."

"Hehe, we’ll deal with it next time. No matter how much you bring, I won’t complain," Third Grandma Qi laughed, inviting everyone to start eating.

After the meal, Village Chief Qi came over with Niu Peng and others to head for the mountains together.

The place they were going today was the back mountain where He Tiantian often cut grass.

He Jingyu looked at the lush mountains behind and was astonished, saying, "I’ve found that the forests here are much denser than the places we passed by yesterday! The grass on the ground is even more luxuriant!"

"Yes, it’s quite strange. Previously, there was a great drought, and the entire mountain behind was dreadfully green, but after a night of thunderstorms and heavy rain, this place turned into such a dense area. Many people say it’s the Mountain God revealing his power, but we materialists believe in science."

He Jingyu and Wang Shuping, upon hearing this, became even more curious.

The elevation of the mountains behind was not steep, standing at twenty-one meters, and with good sunlight, it was suitable for planting fruit trees. The fertile mountain land behind the entire village, by estimate, could be dozens of acres. He Jingyu and Wang Shuping collected several bags of soil samples, labeled them, and carefully placed them in a box.

Afterward, they went to a few barren hills on the other side of the livestock team’s brook, with an altitude of roughly less than one hundred meters.

According to Village Chief Qi’s younger thoughts, the geomantic treasure land behind the mountain did not need planting; the reason for taking He Jingyu and his wife there was to figure out why the mountain was so dense? Was it because of the fertile land?

He had a greater desire to transform these barren hills, as these places had lower altitude and were relatively flat in topography. The reason they weren’t used for growing crops was simply because there was too little soil, and water was hard to come by.

If it were the past, Secretary Qi wouldn’t dare dream of such good fortune.

But now, things were different. Miracle after miracle had occurred in Qijia Village; perhaps this time would be yet another miracle!

He Jingyu also collected soil samples, plant samples, and water samples from Qijia Village’s Dark River and the Spring Pool.

Then, for the next two days, He Jingyu and Wang Shuping observed the surrounding environment and conducted a comprehensive survey.

On the third day, He Jingyu prepared to leave for another village in Taoyuan County for inspection.

He Tiantian was concerned about her parents but knew it was their job, and all she could do was to repeatedly urge them to stay safe and rest well.

After collecting samples and conducting a two-day investigation in the other village, He Jingyu returned to Huai City with his assistant Xiao Wang and began experiments in a simple laboratory.

When the data came out, He Jingyu looked at the report, his hands trembling slightly with excitement, and said, "Shuping, Shuping, come here quickly, come here..."

Wang Shuping was observing an experiment and, hearing her husband’s call, promptly turned off the Bunsen burner and came over, asking, "What’s the matter?"

Her husband was usually calm and rarely showed such urgency.

"Look at these numbers, the soil in Qijia Village is very suitable for the honey peaches I’m researching. Especially the land behind the mountain, I predict we can grow exceptional quality honey peaches. The data from those few barren hills might not be as good as the ones from the mountain behind, but they definitely meet the criteria," said He Jingyu with a smile, "I never thought we’d find the right place so quickly."

"To be on the safe side, you should redo it," suggested Wang Shuping, who was also excited but knew they couldn’t be certain from just one success; multiple tests were necessary.

It was Qijia Village that their daughter was supporting for its development, and they could not afford any negligence, as it would affect their daughter’s life in Qijia Village.

However, they were also fortunate it was Qijia Village since Secretary Qi was an ambitious man with a desire for progress and could see the enormous value the peach plantation could bring.

Such village officials were rare!

Last time, when they traveled from Qijia Village to another village, the village party secretary there didn’t want to do it at all and only entertained them due to Niu Peng’s face. In reality, he wasn’t proactive at all and didn’t want to mess around with these things; he thought it was more cost-effective to transform the terraced fields into grain crops.

Wang Shuping also put aside her work and started experimenting with her husband, observing and testing without sleep. When tired, they would take turns napping in the chair outside the lab. Finally, on the second morning, they obtained their results.

Although there was some deviation from before, it was all within an acceptable range!

Seeing this, He Jingyu was overjoyed and said, "Shuping, we can confirm it now, but just to be sure, let’s do it one more time. However, we haven’t slept for a day and a night, so let’s go home and rest first, then come back in the afternoon for another round of testing. If there’s no problem, we’ll submit the report immediately."
