Aura strawberries fetch 300 spirit coins each. One plant yields a dozen—3,600 coins every two days. Zhou Yan sees wealth in his Spiritual Field's crops. Spirit coins flow easy now; water and fields promise more.
But coins don't rule Canglan—strength does. Immortality's the dream.
"Got a Spiritual Field, huh?" Qin Yao probes.
"What makes you think that?" Zhou Yan teases.
"Altars are tricky, but they spit out rarities sometimes," she says, assuming a sacrifice's luck. Logical for day four—fields don't grow elsewhere yet.
"Sell me strawberries—I'm starving," she pleads.
"How many?" he asks.
"All!" she snaps.
"I'm keeping some," Zhou Yan counters, dealing her 100.
"Your field's too fast," Qin Yao marvels. "Day three harvest? Even day one's field shouldn't ripen yet."
"Spiritual spring water," he reveals.
"That explains it," she says. "Hard to snag—everyone's after it."
He grins—he sold the stuff. Next, he unloads beast meat and spare bronze gear, keeping the best. Qin Yao's floored. "Bronze already? Tycoon!"
Secrets stay secrets—she doesn't pry, just pays a hefty sum.
Diao Chan's team wraps up the field's harvest. Zhou Yan hands seeds to Si Teng's crew—labor's theirs now.
"I'm cooking," Diao Chan says, grabbing produce.
"I'll help—teach me," Zhen Mi adds, trailing her.
Zhou Yan sends Si Wu with fruits for the dwarves. Their loyalty—some at 100—glows. He plants five piranha seeds in the Spiritual Field, dousing them with spring water. They sprout fast, hitting meters, stalling, then surging to ten meters with more water—twice the vine demons' thirst.
Colorful light bathes them. Piranhas evolve into Flower Demons. Five women in red palace gowns emerge, bowing. "Greetings, Lord."
Stunning, each a vision—none would guess their carnivorous roots.
