Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

Chapter 31: Brother Niu's Breakthrough

Ji Rong walked towards the Andingfang Market.

As he walked along the streets of the market, he greeted familiar faces along the way. Some vendors even skillfully offered him their best goods.

"Brother Rong is back."

"Uncle Rong, these two fresh jade bone pig kidneys are for you. I didn't sell them to anyone else for spirit stones. I specifically saved them to show my respect to you. Take them."

"Master Ji, here are some fresh milk fragrant fruits. Take them back for your wife and young masters and misses to taste."

"Brother Rong, it's been so long since you last visited. I missed you..."

Ji Rong collected the goods given to him by the vendors and wiped some oil on the body of a female cultivator standing by the railing.

With a satisfied expression, he walked back to his three-in-three-out mansion.

In the Andingfang Market, he was also a prominent figure.

Although his strength was not the strongest, it was not low either.

With the connections he had in the Divine Will Sect's inner sect and his position in the outer sect, even the market master had to give him some face.

That's why those low-level cultivators were so fawning and eager to please him.

Pushing open the door, a young man in his prime approached with a flattering smile, "Father, you're back."

This was his eldest son, who had no spiritual roots and was just an ordinary person.

They didn't hire any servants in their family, and the miscellaneous tasks were all done by the three children without spiritual roots.

It was a way to make the most of their abilities, better than just eating for free.

Ji Rong took out a bag of Spirit Rice from his storage ring and threw it to his eldest son.

"Go cook. We just received this Spirit Rice today, so make some extra and give each of you three a small bowl."

The eldest son was excited and flattered for a while, then he carried the Spirit Rice and ran into the kitchen.

At this time, a glamorous woman carrying a chubby three-year-old boy came out from the east wing.

The chubby boy's eyes were bright and clever.

Excitedly, he said, "Father, our Gui'er can already recite the entire 'Burning Heaven Technique' by heart."

"He even practiced it properly this afternoon. I think in another year or two, he'll be able to make some progress."

Ji Rong was overjoyed. This chubby boy was his favorite youngest son, Ji Gui.

With a three-colored spiritual root, his fire spiritual root was particularly outstanding. He might become a fire cultivator in the future.

Moreover, he was intelligent, recognizing thousands of characters at the age of one.

His physique was also extraordinary, with an appetite like an adult at such a young age.

In Ji Rong's eyes, his youngest son was definitely not an ordinary person. He would surely achieve something extraordinary in his cultivation journey and lead their Ji family to glory.

He laughed heartily and directly picked up the boy, "Good son, you will definitely surpass your father in the future. Our Ji family will rely on you."

Ji Gui raised his head proudly and said without reservation, "Father, I want to eat Spirit Rice. Only when I'm full can I practice harder."

Ji Rong laughed, "Haha, alright, I'll give you three big bowls later so you can eat to your heart's content."

At this time, a woman in a black robe walked out from the central courtyard, muttering discontentedly, "Our Ling'er and Jun'er are also working hard in their cultivation. Father shouldn't show favoritism."

This was the second madam. Her brother had just died recently, so her mood wasn't very good.

Ji Rong didn't want to create disharmony in the family, so he smiled and said, "Everyone will have their share. There's enough Spirit Rice. Eat to your heart's content."

The glamorous woman glanced at the woman in the black robe with disdain.

At mealtime, the whole family sat down to eat.

Although the three children without spiritual roots also received a small bowl of Spirit Rice, they still carefully served the others.

Youngest son Ji Gui, on the other hand, ate his large bowl of Spirit Rice eagerly. Seeing this, Ji Rong couldn't help but smile with joy.

This kid eats a lot. It probably won't take him a few years to reach Great Completion.

By then, he would find a way to send him to the inner sect's Chixiao Peak for cultivation, so that he could lead the Ji family to glory in the future.

Thinking about the bright future, Ji Rong couldn't help but feel in a great mood.

...

On the other side, Chu Ming had already pounded and husked all the Spirit Rice.

Including the ones in the space, he harvested a total of about 5100 jin of normal Spirit Rice.

After handing it over to the sect, he would still have 3500 jin left.

Now that he didn't lack spiritual stones, he didn't need to sell the Spirit Rice for the time being.

He couldn't finish so much by himself, so he might as well use it to feed the cow.

He steamed a large pot of Spirit Rice and cooked the spiritual bran in another pot, then mixed a large basin of Spirit Rice with the spiritual bran.

Based on his current knowledge of raising cows, he felt that this kind of feed would provide more comprehensive nutrition for the cow.

Cows are different from humans, they can't just eat refined grains.

Then he put the feed into the space, walked to the cowshed, and sucked the cow into the space as well.

He could see the situation inside the space.

As soon as the cow entered, it was obviously a bit confused, looking around.

Seeing the feed in the basin, although its eyes widened and saliva flowed out, it seemed afraid of being blamed by its owner, so it didn't dare to go over and eat.

Chu Ming entered the space and smiled as he placed the feed bowl in front of the cow.

"Eat, don't be polite, it's specially prepared for you."

"I've already said it before, from now on, I'll feed you Spirit Rice, so eat to your heart's content."

"From now on, all the feeding will be done here, just come in and eat when there's food."

He still had some foresight, feeding the cow with Spirit Rice was too outlandish.

If someone happened to notice outside, it would be hard to explain.

"Moo—" The cow rubbed Chu Ming's hand with its wet nose, expressing happiness, and then buried its head and started eating.

Tears seemed to flow from the corners of its eyes.

After working hard in the field for so many years, it tasted Spirit Rice for the first time, inevitably feeling a mix of emotions.

[Raising Cattle: Proficiency +1]

[Raising Cattle (Beginner: 97/100)]

Seeing the message that popped up on the proficiency panel, Chu Ming silently nodded.

Sure enough, mixing spiritual bran and Spirit Rice to feed the cow was the right choice, and it also increased proficiency.

And this wasn't even the highest level of cattle feeding, adding some medicinal herbs and fruits to the feed should yield better results.

If he could continue practicing this skill, perhaps he could turn this ordinary water buffalo into a divine beast.

But for now, he should focus on improving his own strength, and when he had free time, he could practice this skill.

The cow continued to eat, while Chu Ming returned to the outside.

When he checked the space again and saw that the cow had finished all the feed, he released it from his personal space.

He touched the cow's head and felt that its fur was smoother than before, and its big eyes were brighter and more spirited.

Could it be that it had broken through the first layer of Qi Refining?

"You've broken through the first layer of Qi Refining?" he asked.

"Moo—" The cow called out, indicating affirmation.

Chu Ming smiled and patted its head. "Your talent is not bad. Breaking through with just one meal of Spirit Rice."

"Good, you should be smarter and more powerful now. I'll leave the job of guarding and protecting the house to you."

"Moo—" The cow raised its head and called out, indicating no problem.
