Chapter 247
Chen Xuan gently pushed open the small wooden door, revealing a small courtyard.
A small square field.
At this time, an old man in sackcloth was working.
Correct!
He was not mistaken, he was pulling out the weeds next to the rice.
Not only that, Chen Xuan didn't feel any trace of a warrior's aura from him, he was just like an ordinary old man.
But the more this happens, the more terrifying this person becomes.
So he clasped his hands together and shouted respectfully, "Greetings, Senior!"
However, the old man in black continued to work, carefully checking each grain of rice. After a long time, he stood up and looked at him.
Only then did Chen Xuan see his face clearly.
A square face, thick eyebrows, and baby-like skin formed a sharp contrast with his white hair.
Not only that, those eyes, just one glance at them made him feel convinced.
He had only felt this feeling from Xia Yi.
"You are not from the Supreme Domain!"
In a word!
Chen Xuan's face changed suddenly. He didn't expect that one could tell at a glance that he was not from the Supreme Domain.
The old man smiled after seeing his expression, "Refugees from the underworld!"
"Me? Refugee? What do you mean?"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and became confused.
"The lower realm is broken, and those like you who have fled to the upper realm are collectively called refugees!"
Seeing this, the old man spoke slowly.
"I see!"
Chen Xuan nodded slightly, and immediately understood what he meant.
Think about it, there is not much problem with this. If you have lost your home, then what else can you be but a refugee?
"So which world are you from?"
Facing the old man's question, Chen Xuan did not hesitate at all and directly said, "The human world!"
After all, in his opinion, everything was already broken, so there was nothing to hide.
"Human world?"
The old man muttered to himself, searching in his mind, but it seemed that he had never heard of this so-called 'human world'.
"I don't think I've ever heard of this! After all, there are tens of thousands of lower realms, which is really too many."
"Thousands and thousands?"
Chen Xuan caught these three words.
So many?
"Since you have escaped from the human world to the Supreme Realm, you are not destined to die. You can stay on the island for the time being, but——"
Suddenly, the old man changed!
An overwhelming pressure appeared and pressed down on Chen Xuan.
Under such pressure, even the body began to tremble.
"Behave yourself and don't cause any trouble on the island, otherwise I will kill you!"
As soon as the word "obliterate" is uttered!
Chen Xuan felt the terrifying murderous aura gushing out from the old man.
As he breathed, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Yes, I understand, kid!"
Chen Xuan replied immediately.
As soon as the words fell, the pressure and murderous aura disappeared.
"call--"
Chen Xuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes turned fearful as he looked at the old man.
too strong!
"But there are conditions for you to stay on the island!"
The old man spoke slowly.
Chen Xuan nodded. This made sense. There was no free lunch in the world. If he was not allowed to pay anything in return, he would probably find a chance to run away.
"You say!"
"You must hand over a thousand kilograms of spiritual rice every year, otherwise you will be expelled immediately!"
Keep him here to farm?
He had thought of countless possibilities in his mind just now, but he had never thought of this.
"I will arrange someone to talk to you in detail later. You can leave now!"
The old man waved at him.
Even though Chen Xuan was puzzled, he could only bow slightly and leave the courtyard.
"It's the early stage of Immortal Grade, not bad, stronger than Ning Xin, and it's okay to be a laborer!"
The old man sat on a small stool nearby and muttered to himself.
This idea came into his mind after he sensed that Chen Xuan was an immortal.
After all, there is not much time left before the deadline to hand in the spiritual rice.
“Supreme Domain, hehe!”
The old man suddenly sneered.
Although it is the upper world, it is much more cruel than the lower world. Just like this small island, you have to complete the tasks assigned by it, otherwise everyone on the island must leave immediately.
There are countless monsters in this vast ocean. How many of the people on the island can survive?
Of course there is another way, which is ownership of truly useful islands.
But it’s so difficult!
After Chen Xuan left the thatched hut, he didn't know where to go.
Just go back along the previous path.
But after walking for a long time, the person arranged by the old man did not show up.
After a long time, when Chen Xuan returned to the row of stone houses, he saw Ning Xin standing next to a well.
"That stone house will be yours from now on!"
Ning Xin pointed to the stone house on the far left.
"Also, there's something you need in the house!"
"Forget about today. Tomorrow I will take you to the fields and you can choose a square field by yourself!"
After saying that, he left.
"What a cold woman!"
Chen Xuan muttered in his heart.
"Forget it, just take it one step at a time!"
I sighed quietly in my heart and started farming from tomorrow.
He had never done this job even when he was in Shuanggang Village.
I didn’t expect that now that I have become an immortal, I still have to farm.
Then he walked to the stone house on the far left and pushed the door open. The room was so big that you could see the end at a glance.
A bed, some farm tools, and that was it.
It couldn't be simpler.
"Ugh!"
All I could do was sigh and shake my head.
In a blink of an eye, it has been three months since Chen Xuan came to Huaining Island.
At this moment, he was working barefoot in a field.
"Fuck, this bastard is so damn delicate!"
Chen Xuan bent over, weeding and cursing at the same time.
After officially becoming the owner of this square field three months ago, he planted the seeds that Ning Xin gave him.
The germination went smoothly at first.
But gradually, as the seedlings grew, weeds began to appear on the side.
Chen Xuan didn't pay attention at first, but after only two or three days, the seedlings began to wither.
At the time he found it strange and thought it was caused by some bug.
Upon closer inspection this is not the case.
After that, he went to find Ning Xin, and the answer he got was that he had to clear the weeds around the seedlings every day.
What he actually grows is called Tianling rice!
It is a top-grade spiritual rice, specially provided for immortal warriors to eat. After this kind of spiritual rice is planted, a weed called Soul-Destroying Grass will automatically grow around it.
It is the natural enemy of Tianling rice!
This grass not only grows fast, but is also very tough. By the time the Tianling rice is about to mature, even a first-class warrior would have to spend a lot of effort to remove it.
Therefore, Tianling rice must be grown by warriors of the first rank or above.
Only then did Chen Xuan finally understand why the old man asked him to stay on Huaining Island.
But there is no way, I have already fallen into the pit.
And if he leaves, the old man probably won't let him go easily.
"call--"
Chen Xuan stood up straight and looked at the square field, which was about one acre in size.
It took more than two hours to finally find all the Soul-Destroying Grass.
"Brother Xuan"
Just then, a child's voice came from a distance.
A moment later, Ning Feng appeared on the ridge of the field.
"You kid, I've just finished weeding and you're here, it's just right!"
Chen Xuan teased him.
After more than three months on the island, Chen Xuan gradually became familiar with the villagers here.
There are probably hundreds of people on this island, mostly ordinary people. Most of the warriors are of high quality, and Ning Xin is the only one of immortal quality. Of course, he doesn't know the strength of the village chief.
Among these, the one with whom he had the best relationship was Ning Feng.
After all, Chen Xuan was an immortal, so it was more than enough for him to guide a second-grade warrior. After coming and going, the two became familiar with each other, and later Ning Long also joined them.
"You can't blame me for that. I'm only a second-grade rank one, and it's hard for me to even get rid of a Soul-Destroying Grass!"
Ning Feng defended himself, saying that it was not that he was unwilling, but that he simply did not have the strength.
Of course Chen Xuan knew it too, he was just teasing him on purpose.
So he asked, “What are you doing here?”
This kid has the same stubborn personality as him. He never looks for him unless there is something wrong. If he looks for him, it means he has problems with his cultivation, or he wants to fight with him. Of course, the premise is that Chen Xuan cannot use strength higher than the second level.
"Oh, by the way, today is Sister Xin's eighteenth birthday, and she asked me to come over and invite you to have dinner at her place!"
"Let me tell you, Sister Xin prepared a lot of delicious food!"
Ning Feng swallowed his saliva greedily as he spoke.
After all, Ning Xin’s cooking skills are the best on the island, but she usually practices and just eats half of the food casually.
He would only do it himself on her birthday.
He looks forward to this day the most every year.
"Okay, I'll go after I change my clothes!"
"Then I'll go first!"
Ning Feng couldn't wait any longer and just stepped into the air and left.
"Finally, things can get better tonight!"
Chen Xuan also had some expectations in his heart.
During these three months, there was nothing on the island except fish and some ordinary rice. Apart from the salt extracted from sea water, there was nothing else.
It can be said that, apart from having a place to sleep, there is no difference from the time when he first came to the Supreme Domain.
He also asked Ning Xin, is this Supreme Domain all sea, with no land?
The answer was yes, but very, very far away!
Except for the village chief, no one else on the island has ever left the island in their lifetime.
As for the route to leave the island, only the village chief knows.
If he wanted to know, he could only ask the village chief.
In this regard, Chen Xuan temporarily gave up the idea of leaving the island. After all, the old man would not let him leave easily, and of course would not tell him the route to leave.
After returning home, I got a little familiar with the place and changed into clean clothes.
Go to Ning Xin's stone house empty-handed.
There was nothing he could do. He had nothing now. Even these clothes were given to him by other villagers on the island.
Otherwise he wouldn't even have a change of clothes.
If those women knew about this, I don't know how heartbroken they would be.
A moment later Chen Xuan arrived at Ning Xin's stone house.
"Boom boom boom!"
Knocked on the door gently.
With a creaky sound, it was Ning Long who opened the door.
"Brother Xuan, you are here. I have been waiting for you!"
"Isn't it here? You are greedy!"
Chen Xuan touched his little head and then walked into the stone house.
