Douluo: Becoming the God of Nature from Farming Chapter 019

Time flew by like a white steed, gone in a flash.

Two years passed.

Two years ago, Xiao Ze learned of Tang Hao’s death.

He was exceptionally excited.

This was something Grandpa Xiao had told him privately; no one else knew.

It was said that because Tang Hao had died nearby, the Lord of Nuoding City, fearing being killed by the Clear Sky宗, suppressed the news.

Few people in Nuoding City knew about it.

Xiao Ze also began to cultivate diligently in the academy, supported by a large supply of rice and wheat.

Xiao Ze cultivated quickly, and after two years, he had reached level 20.

His physique had also greatly improved.

As for agricultural spirits, Xiao Ze had cultivated three more:

Wheat – Ximang.

Corn – Yujin.

Potato – Dishuwang.

Not only that, but Xiao Ze had used a lot of resources to raise the quality of all four agricultural spirits to Excellent.

They gained their second skills, and their strength also grew considerably.

At the same cultivation level, the higher the quality, the stronger the spirit.

The improvement in the quality of the agricultural spirits also improved the quality of the crops they cultivated.

For example, rice evolved from ordinary rice to Jade Spirit Crystal Rice.

The evolved rice had a better effect when eaten.

This was why Xiao Ze’s cultivation speed even surpassed Tang San’s.

Tang San’s soul power was currently at level twenty-six.

Once he obtained his Transcendent Second Soul Ring, his soul power might reach around level twenty-three or twenty-four.

He would be about the same as Tang San.

Xiao Ze skillfully arrived at the Headmaster’s office.

“Grandpa Xiao.”

“Oh… Xiao Ze, are you going to get your second soul ring?”

Under the nourishment of Xiao Ze’s special crops, Grandpa Xiao’s hair had turned much blacker, and his spirit was getting better and better.

He even rekindled his interest in cultivation.

Perhaps in the future, he might even have a chance to cultivate to a Soul Sage, or even a Soul Douluo.

“That’s right, Grandpa Xiao, this is a bag of special crops for you.”

Xiao Ze handed a bag to Headmaster Xiao.

“Haha… then I’ll accept it.” Grandpa Xiao was also very surprised when he first tasted these crops.

But more than that, he was moved.

He and Xiao Ze were not true grandfather and grandson, but they were closer than real ones.

“Grandpa Xiao, this time I plan to get my soul ring by myself.”

Headmaster Xiao frowned upon hearing this: “Xiao Ze, but you’re going to get a thousand-year soul ring, it’s dangerous.”

“Grandpa Xiao, you know I’m very strong now after my breakthrough, absorbing it won’t be a problem.

As for combat. Suihua and the other three are not weak.”

Xiao Ze wasn’t lying.

The four agricultural spirits, including Suihua, had the same soul power as Xiao Ze, but their improved quality gave them powerful combat strength.

And each of the four agricultural spirits had their own advantages.

Such as attack, ranged, defense, and so on.

“Alright then.” Headmaster Xiao finally relented.

He knew Xiao Ze’s current combat strength.

Dealing with a Soul Grandmaster was definitely not a problem, and that was before their quality improved.

Now, perhaps he could even fight a Soul Ancestor.

“Then, Grandpa Xiao, I’ll go back to the village first; I haven’t been back in a year.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Ze returned to his dormitory and glanced at Xiao Wu and Tang San, who were snuggled together.

He also admired Xiao Wu a bit.

Even after Tang San drank the yellow liquid, she could still cozy up to him.

As expected of a flirtatious rabbit, birds of a feather flock together.

The two of them only glanced at Xiao Ze.

Xiao Ze didn’t interact much with them, and they didn’t even know what level he was now.

However, Tang San was confident that Xiao Ze definitely wasn’t as high as him, and might not even get his second soul ring next year.

He was, after all, born with full soul power.

Xiao Ze packed up and returned to the village.

Headmaster Xiao watched his departing back and followed him.

…

Afternoon.

Xiao Ze returned to Qingxi Village.

“Oh, Xiao Ze, you’re back!” A woman looked at Xiao Ze with pleasant surprise.

“Auntie Li, I’m back.”

“That’s great! I’ll tell everyone to come see you.”

“Ah…” Xiao Ze was about to refuse.

Auntie Li had already rushed out.

“Everyone, come out and see, Xiao Ze is back!”

“Xiao Ze is back!”

Suddenly, the quiet of Qingxi Village was broken.

Familiar figures emerged one by one.

“Xiao Ze, how are you doing at school?”

“Has anyone bullied you?”

“Xiao Ze, you’ve gotten much stronger.”

“You’ve grown up.”

“Xiao Ze, what level are you?”

Everyone spoke one after another, very enthusiastically.

This might be partly due to Xiao Ze becoming a Soul Master, but more so because of their past relationship.

These villagers, although they knew Soul Masters were powerful, didn’t truly understand the specifics.

“Alright, alright, Xiao Ze has finally returned. You old ladies, go prepare some ingredients; we’ll have a big feast tonight.” The village chief walked over.

“Okay!”

“Wait, Auntie Li, take this bag of rice; it’s good rice.” Xiao Ze handed her a bag of ordinary special rice.

“Alrighty.”

They had no soul power, but this rice could also improve their bodies, and perhaps even cure hidden ailments.

In the shadows, Headmaster Xiao watched Xiao Ze interacting with the villagers, and couldn’t help but smile.

“What a good child.”

Dusk fell, and the last ray of twilight vanished into the distant mountains.

Qingxi Village’s night was exceptionally lively.

In the central square of the village, under the old locust tree.

More than a dozen wooden tables were arranged, each with more than a dozen dishes.

After Xiao Ze became a Soul Master, Qingxi Village’s life improved significantly.

Xiao Ze helped Qingxi Village build a square and various facilities.

Houses were also renovated.

Xiao Ze never forgot his roots.

Every person in Qingxi Village sat at a table, holding a ceramic bowl filled with Xiao Ze’s rice.

The dishes on the tables were steaming hot.

Everyone sat together, enjoying the grand meal.

Several bare-chested men were toasting each other, while women held bowls, feeding their children.

“Mmm~ this rice Xiao Ze gave us is really delicious.”

“Indeed, this taste is really different from what we usually eat.”

Everyone’s face was filled with smiles.

“Xiao Ze, where did you buy this rice?”

One person asked.

“This rice can’t be bought; I cultivated it with my martial soul.”

At this, everyone began to eat the rice in large mouthfuls.

“No wonder it’s so delicious, so it’s cultivated by Xiao Ze’s martial soul.”

“So fragrant.”

“That’s right, and after I eat it, I feel a warmth throughout my body.”

“If you like to eat it, eat more. I brought a lot for everyone.”

Xiao Ze no longer used this ordinary rice.

He was now eating Jade Spirit Crystal Rice.

Xiao Ze also planned to leave the previously stored corn, potatoes, and other crops for the villagers.

“Woof woof~~”

An unknown yellow dog lay at the foot of the table. Xiao Ze saw it, picked up some bones, and threw them on the ground. The yellow dog immediately began gnawing on them, its tail lazily thumping the ground.

It was clearly very happy.

“Oh—yo—wei—

The Sophora flower falls, oh, the stream rises,

Every household’s stove fire reflects the moon, hey.

Children sneak fish and hide under the table, oh,

Yellow dogs circle, begging for fragrant bones, oh!

…”

On the other side, the old village chief, tipsy, tapped his bowl and sang a folk song.

And beside them, the sound of the stream, clinking cups, and laughter mixed together.

The smile on Xiao Ze’s face never faded.

If he hadn’t had soul power, he probably would have lived such an ordinary life.

He liked it.
