Chapter 1294 Divine Island
"Wow, this is your sacred island?" Shi Lan exclaimed as she stood at the entrance of the stone house.
Looking at the thousand acres of wild grass in front of him, Shi Jia felt a little embarrassed. "Um, I just got back and haven't had time to tend to the island. Why don't we go inside and sit down?"
Shi Lan shook her head, looking at her with a complicated expression, "Sister Shi Jia, you must have just returned from the trial, right?"
Shi Jia was immune to her complicated expression. She pointed to the crystal crown on her head and said, "I was just crowned."
Shi Lan became even more jealous upon seeing this, and her face unconsciously twisted in anger.
Shi Xu shook his head, "Alan!"
The sound of time was not loud, but it was like an alarm bell ringing in Shi Lan's mind.
"I'm sorry, your divine island is too big, it has a strong impact on me!" Shi Lan took a deep breath to calm herself down.
Shi Jia waved her hand to indicate that she didn't care, but in her heart she was thinking, is it that big? It's only about one square kilometer! She subconsciously looked at the divine islands above her head, each of which was more than twice the size of hers.
Seeing her like this, Shi Lan was still somewhat indignant, so he said, "Do you know where my divine island is?"
"where?"
Shi Lan pointed downwards.
Below Shijia Divine Island, there were countless other divine islands much smaller than hers. She was surprised; Shi Lan seemed to have already come of age, right?
Shi Lan smiled wryly, "Do you know that the sacred island allocated to newly adult members of the clan is only 500 square meters in size? Only by investing a lot of materials can the area of the sacred path be expanded."
Therefore, when she saw Shi Jia, a child who had just come of age, possessing a sacred path covering one square kilometer, she was devastated.
"Oh, I see!" She seemed a bit out of place? Shi Jia couldn't help but feel guilty.
"Sister Shi Jia, tell me quickly, are you a branch of some ancestor?" Shi Lan had already adjusted her mindset and asked her jokingly.
"No, really? I'm just a minor, insignificant branch." Shi Jia was somewhat uncertain; according to them, he seemed to be extraordinary.
"Perhaps it's related to Shi Jia's coming-of-age trials." The silent Shi Xu spoke again, "As far as I know, the better one performs in the coming-of-age trials, the more world merits one acquires, and the larger the area of the divine island becomes."
More than half of the images depicting the lessons learned during the coronation ceremony are about saving the world.
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Shi Lan looked Shi Jia up and down. She didn't seem like a savior who could save people from suffering at all! But, who cares! "Little sister Shi Jia, quickly share your savior experience with your older sister."
Shi Jia hadn't yet recovered from the "merit theory" of time sequence when she was warmly embraced. The soft body made her a little embarrassed.
"Sister Shi Lan, why don't you let go first?" Shi Jia struggled.
"No, you go first."
Shi Jia had no choice but to bite the bullet and share that she didn't actually think she had any secret to earning merit; she had just done what she thought she should do.
"That's all there is to it. Compared to the Venerable Ancestors, I'm far inferior." The Venerable Ancestors were beings who could control the evolution of small worlds with a mere wave of their hands.
Shi Jia's tone was filled with admiration.
Shi Lan rolled her eyes at her, hating Versailles! She didn't speak, but pondered the other person's words. Not only her, Shi Xu also fell into deep thought.
He had met Shi Jia during his training, and her performance at the time was not particularly outstanding! At least his achievements were much higher than hers... Seeing the two of them deep in thought, Shi Jia did not disturb them, but quietly leaned back in her chair and looked at the endless weeds in front of her.
Is there a positive correlation between merit and the sacred island?
If she diligently accumulates merit in the small world, will the divine island quickly grow larger and then rise? Shi Jia thought casually, but the smile on her face vanished the next second—she was burdened with a huge debt!
The thought of debt fills Shi Jia with a sense of urgency, making him wish he could save the world immediately!
She subconsciously glanced at the two deep in thought, opened her mouth as if to wake them and tell them to see them out. However, Shi Jia forced herself not to do so with her strong willpower.
She took a deep breath, stood up, and walked towards the patch of weeds. Since she couldn't save the world, well, to complete the mission, she'd just have to turn this land over and plant some fruits and vegetables.
Shi Jia waved his right hand, and a silver light transformed into a scythe, flying towards the weeds in front of him until it reached the end. The next instant, the weeds in front of him fell down like dominoes, and in the blink of an eye, a three-meter-wide passage appeared before him.
Shi Jia looked down at the roots of the weeds. The cuts were neat and the height was consistent. She nodded in satisfaction. Her control of her strength was not bad!
She looked at the weeds beside her and repeated the above steps. In no time, the thousands of acres of weeds were completely cleared away.
Shi Jia felt the energy she had consumed was manageable. She glanced back at the two people still deep in thought, then continued working.
These "weeds" are not ordinary weeds, but "divine plants" that contain the power of time! Although she doesn't know how to deal with them now, it doesn't stop her from collecting them and studying them slowly.
"Shi Jia, what are you doing?" Shi Lan finally snapped out of her reverie and, seeing Shi Jia's actions, quickly went over. "Are you planning to sell it at a shop?"
This low-grade divine herb is useless to the Time Clan, but it is extremely valuable to other low-dimensional races and worth a lot of source matter.
Upon hearing this, Shi Jia's eyes lit up, and he nodded. "Are there shops within the clan's territory?"
Shi Lan shook her head, "You can go to the shops of the Dimensional Management Bureau. Didn't you go to the Azure Dragon Shop before?"
"Oh, I thought—you guys often go to the Azure Dragon Trading Company?" Shi Jia asked curiously, as she was quite interested in the daily lives of the Time Clan.
Upon hearing this, Shi Lan subconsciously looked around before gently shaking her head and whispering, "The Azure Dragon Trading Company has elders from our clan overseeing it, so we usually go to the Vermilion Bird Trading Company to have fun. Let me tell you, there's a restaurant in the Vermilion Bird Trading Company with male prostitutes there—"
"Ahem!" Shi Xu gave Shi Lan a warning look.
"Don't listen to her. If you want to sell divine herbs, go to the Azure Dragon Trading Company. However, these herbs have weak energy, and the Ancient Time Tower won't accept them. You can rent a stall at the management office, or sell them to shops in the Middle Dimension World," Shi Xu said.
"Never sell to people from lower-dimensional worlds," Shixu warned again.
Shi Jia nodded in understanding. These weeds had little energy to them, but to people in the lower-dimensional world, they were like energy bombs!
"Thank you very much, Shi Xu!" Shi Jia expressed his sincere gratitude.
"You're welcome, we should be leaving now," Shi Xu said.
Shi Lan said with some reluctance, "Thank you for sharing, Shi Jia. Let's talk again sometime."
After seeing the two off, Shi Jia quickly gathered up the weeds and began turning the soil. She planned to plant fruits and vegetables all over the island, and sell them to pay off her debts once they matured!
Although it's just a drop in the ocean, at least it's another way to make money, right? Little by little, she can eventually pay off her debts. If it weren't for the fact that the planting space she bought before was of such a low level that it couldn't grow anything valuable, she would have wanted to become a farmer herself.
Shi Jia was excitedly turning over the ground, completely unaware that some higher-dimensional beings had already cast their gazes at her.
