Yan Tianhen was still snoring loudly. Lin Xuanzhi sat at the bedside stool to appreciate this sight for awhile before he got up to make breakfast.
Yan Tianhen continued sleeping for a quarter of an hour before he woke up. He smelled a delicious fragrance wafting over, then ran over to find Lin Xuanzhi. But he realised that Lin Xuanzhi was no longer in their small yard, and he didn’t know where he went.

Yan Tianhen saw a piece of paper on the table that had a small stone on it that served as a paperweight —
“Ah Hen, I’m going out today to buy some supplies, have fun while you’re at home.”
Yan Tianhen grinned widely for awhile, then after he cleared the table of food, he stuck out his perfectly round watermelon belly and walked towards the Lin family’s spiritual plants plantation.

The two tiger cubs were nowhere to be seen, but Yan Tianhen wasn’t worried. Ever since Lin Zhan left, Ah Bai and Hu Po understood that Yan Tianhen couldn’t afford the spiritual food they usually ate, so they would go to the back mountains by themselves everyday to do some scavenging. They still managed to feed themselves until their fur was all slick and bright, and now they were even as fat as a ball.
The Lin family’s spiritual plants plantation was located in the eastmost side of the Lin residence. It was a two hour walk from the residential area, main area and commercial streets, so it’s usually quite deserted. Unless there were people there to collect or buy spiritual plants, usually you would only see servants hard at work in the plantation area.
Yan Tianhen didn’t need to come to this kind of place to do physical labour at first, but if he didn’t come, he and Lin Xuanzhi wouldn’t have any source of income. Even though Lin Zhan had left a lot of treasures for Yan Tianhen, but on the one hand, Yan Tianhen couldn’t bear to exchange them for money, and on the other hand, he had already handed his storage bag over to Lin Xuanzhi.
Lin Xuanzhi had always been very generous with his spending. In order to cure his destroyed Dantian, his expenditure had turned into a bottomless pit; no matter how much assets he had it wouldn’t be enough for him to exhaust.
Yan Tianhen’s daily task was to get rid of the weeds in the plot of spiritual plants allotted to him.
This kind of work isn’t simple. One had to first wrap your Qi around those weeds, then you have to ensure that the roots of the weeds aren’t entangled with the spiritual plants before you can pull them out.
If the weeds are entangled with the spiritual plants and was robbing the spiritual plants of its nutrients, then the weeder has to waste quite a bit of Qi to separate the roots of the weeds and spiritual plants before pulling them out. The roots of the spiritual plants had to be perfectly intact before you could say that you’ve completed the task.

Yan Tianhen had to squander away all of his Qi everyday before he was done.
But, even though this was the most tiring kind of job, its upside is that it gives quite a bit of money. You could earn five silver in one day; one hundred silver is equivalent to one gold, so within twenty days he could earn one gold!
One must know, to a normal family, one gold is more than enough for them to live on for a year!
Yan Tianhen gave it his all in getting rid of the weeds in his plot.

His luck was pretty good today, the weeds he encountered weren’t entangled with the spiritual plants, so he was relatively fast at pulling them out.

Yan Tianhen’s task for the day was almost finished by noon.
Yan Tianhen was scratching his head over pulling out the last few weeds in his plot, but there were some people who found his presence unpleasant.

Two teenagers adorned in relatively chic attire walked over sloppily.
“Yo, ugly idiot, you’re working pretty fast today.”
Yan Tianhen ignored him.
The other teenager lifted his leg and kicked his lower back, then said, “We’re talking to you ugly idiot, or are you mute too?”
Yan Tianhen patted off the dirt on his body and stood up. He looked up and glared at these two teenagers who were a whole head taller and half a body bigger than him, then said, “You guys lost in our fight yesterday, what more do you want?’
“Who fucking lost? I even smashed your head in, you–” the teenager’s triangular eyes instantly widened, he pointed at Yan Tianhen’s forehead and turned pale with fright, “Where’s your wound?”
Yan Tianhen said expressionlessly, “O, your level’s way too low. That kind of small wound, even if I don’t pay attention to it it’ll heal by itself in a couple of hours.”

Triangular eyes stared agape and said, “That, that’s impossible!”
“What’s impossible.” Yan Tianhen tsked, then placed his hands on his hips as he said, “Don’t just see how I’m plucking weeds here with you two and how we’re all Refining Qi stage first layer cultivators, I’m different from you guys.”
The teenager who wore a gold bracelet said, “What’s different?”
Yan Tianhen patted his chest and said, “My Dad said, sooner or later I’ll become a cultivator who’s even more amazing than him, it’s just a matter of time!”

“Puhahahahhaha–” Triangular Eyes and Gold Bracelet laughed together aloud so hard they held their stomachs.
“And my Dad said that I can become an earth-level cultivator!”
“Your dad was just lying to you and you actually believed it, you can’t actually be a fool right?” Triangular Eyes narrowed his already not very big eyes, then stared at Yan Tianhen and said, “Shut it with your fucking nonsense, hurry and pluck out the weeds in my plot, or else, I’ll beat you up so hard today that you won’t even be able to get up!”
