Chapter 196 Interstellar Wilderness Star Farmer 7
Dai Lixing looked at Ji Xiaosong, smiled, and said nothing.
"I've already watered the vegetables and fruits in the garden, so don't touch them. If you're hungry, just pick something you want to eat. I'm going hunting in the forest now, and what we eat for lunch depends entirely on what I catch."
"Won't it be dangerous? Almost all plants and animals in interstellar space are poisonous. If you hunt them directly, can you eat them?"
It's no wonder Dai Lixing is worried; in interstellar space, how to remove toxins from plants and animals has always been a major challenge.
Botanists and zoologists have been searching for solutions, but very few have achieved 100% toxin removal.
"There's nothing dangerous for me; I can handle it all. As for toxins, they're easy to get rid of; I have my own methods."
Ji Xiaosong didn't say what method she would use, and Dai Lixing didn't ask either.
This might be her own technology, which she didn't understand, but Dai Lixing knew very well how valuable this technology was.
"By the way, don't leave this courtyard. As long as you stay here, you'll be safe."
After saying that, Ji Xiaosong left home.
Dai Lixing stayed home to continue repairing his spaceship. The Federation had many things waiting for him to handle back home, and he needed to speed things up.

After leaving Dai Lixing's sight, Ji Xiaosong sat on Rongrong and headed to the forest. She had previously discovered that the entire planet of Waxing was rich in spiritual energy, and that the lakes and rivers were all spiritual water formed from condensed spiritual energy. This discovery surprised and delighted her.
Although the plants and animals here are still poisonous and they do not absorb spiritual energy, it does not mean that they are completely inedible.
"Ah Song, which forest are you planning to explore today?"
“The one next to my house will do. Didn’t you say before that once the land is cleared, it belongs to us? I’ve already thought it through. I’ll just plant whatever I want in the forest, and that will count as clearing the land.”
"You certainly know how to exploit loopholes."
"Don't others know this method?"
"It's not that we don't know, it's that most people here simply don't know how to farm."
"That's true. If the people in interstellar space knew how to farm, they wouldn't have issued this rule."
Ji Xiaosong and Rongrong soon arrived at a large forest nearby. They chose a section close to the lake, where Ji Xiaosong planted a large area of watermelons.
She didn't know enough about Vastar; she only knew that the current climate was considered springtime on Earth.
Following the previous planting method, she used her spiritual power to force it to grow.
In no time, the entire watermelon patch was covered with watermelons of uniform size.
Ji Xiaosong selected one hundred and put them into her spatial storage, intending to give them to Dai Lixing to eat later.
"Rongrong, does this mean the whole forest belongs to me?"
"I guess so? I can't connect to the StarNet either. You'll know once you can connect in a few days."
"What if all we're doing now is just benefiting someone else?"
"There are very few people in interstellar space, and there are many planets. Who would want a planet like yours with no people at all?"
"You're right. If it were truly valuable, there would be more than a single advanced intelligent being among them."
Ji Xiaosong entered the forest and wandered around for a while before spotting a herd of cattle.
The cows here look different from those on Earth, but they are similar.
She crouched behind the bushes to observe the herd of cattle and noticed that the creatures' fur had a metallic dark blue sheen, and glowing vines were wrapped around their horns.
The lead bull noticed the commotion, raised its head, and let out a low roar that shook the surrounding leaves to the ground.
She picked up a blade of grass with her fingertips and infused it with spiritual power. The grass suddenly expanded into a glowing vine, drawing a silver arc in the air and precisely wrapping around the four hooves of another bull that looked very large.
Before the other bulls could react, Ji Xiaosong had already used vines to wrap up the bull and leave.
When they arrived at the watermelon patch next to the lake, Ji Xiaosong knelt down on one knee and placed her hands on the bull's forehead.
The pale green spiritual energy flowed into the cow's body through her palm, and the originally irritable cow gradually calmed down, the blue light on its fur turning into a soft, warm yellow.
She flicked a jade knife the size of a fingernail from her fingertip and gently sliced it across the cow's neck.
The blood was collected, and the cut was carbonized rapidly as if it had been burned by high temperature, leaving the cut as smooth as a mirror.
After quickly breaking down the cow and using spiritual power to remove all the toxins, it was then placed into the spatial storage.
Given Dai Lixing's appetite, this cow might only be enough for one meal for him.
That's an appalling appetite! It eats so much in one meal. What kind of family could afford to feed it?
After taking care of the cow, Ji Xiaosong sat down in Rongrong and leisurely went home.
"Fried steak, stewed tomato, potato and beef brisket soup, roast beef... Rongrong, I've already decided what to eat. I'm living such a carefree life, I don't want to change anything."
"Won't you get tired doing this?"
"No, it's only by doing trivial things that you get closer to life. I often feel out of place when I go from one world to another. It's this kind of life experience that actually helps me relax."
Ji Xiaosong took out a string of flat, candied strawberries from her spatial storage, took a bite, lay down on Rongrong's body, and looked at the blue sky and white clouds.
Rongrong wrapped her up. "Ah Song, I didn't know you were like this. I'm sorry, I never realized it."
"It's alright, this is our shared mission. I want to become an immortal. Compared to those who risk their lives to cultivate and seize resources, this is already very good. I want to experience all aspects of life and continuously improve myself."
Ji Xiaosong was very open-minded. In the beginning, Rongrong extracted her memories, which was a way of protecting her.
But how can one improve if they have no memory of anything?
So later, I retained some memories and extracted emotions, so that I could extricate myself at any time.
"Should we make the world selection missions a little easier next time? There are plenty of immortals who want to reincarnate anyway. After we complete three more missions, we can choose which world to go to, and the Star Lord of Destiny will help us."
Why wait for three worlds?
"Because only then will we have completed ten tasks and accumulated enough merit."
"Well, three it is. We've been through so many worlds, a little more won't make a difference."
Ji Xiaosong and Rongrong chatted for a while and soon arrived home.
Dai Lixing has repaired some of the spaceship's hardware, and it doesn't look so dilapidated anymore.
"We're having beef for lunch today. Did you eat a lot of meat?"
“If it weren’t for the fact that these plants you grow yourself are so energy-rich, I would just have a slightly larger appetite than the average person.”
Ji Xiaosong didn't believe it. "I caught a cow today. I'll let you taste my cooking skills in a bit."
After saying that, she went to the kitchen alone, used her spiritual power to start cooking.
Cooking with magic is indeed much faster. In less than half an hour, Ji Xiaosong finished cooking a cow, and also made ten kinds of vegetables and two bowls of soup.
"time to eat!"
Ji Xiaosong brought all the food to the table, and Dai Lixing walked in, drawn by the aroma.
"There really isn't any toxin in it!"
Dai Lixing took a bite of the steak; it was so tender and juicy that he was completely amazed.
