Chapter 68: Dreaming Back to a Thousand Years

Last night, the Space Farm had already reached level fifteen, and she could finally start planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms.

However, these Rainbow Mulberry Tree Seeds were quite a rip-off—the seeds for just one plot of land cost twenty thousand Gold Coins.

Moreover, these Rainbow Mulberry Tree Seeds were only temporarily available; the system would stop providing them after a week.

Did this mean she could only raise one batch of Colorful Silkworms?

Lan Mo was naturally unwilling to accept this. She directly spent two million Gold Coins to buy seeds for one hundred plots of land and stored them away.

If those Colorful Silkworms were fed ordinary mulberry leaves, they would likely revert to their original state and spin white silk—how could that be acceptable? Gold Coins could always be earned again, but if she missed this opportunity, she would never be able to raise Colorful Silkworms again.

The system would buy back Colorful Silkworm cocoons at twenty thousand Gold Coins per jin. No matter how she calculated it, raising them would not be a loss.

Once the Ranch was unlocked, she planned to open a processing workshop to turn those Colorful Silkworm cocoons into silk fabric or silk quilts.

When the farm reached level fifteen, Lan Mo spent one hundred thousand Gold Coins to clear an additional plot of land and obtained ten jin of lily of the valley seeds.

Now, with a total of seven plots of land, she planted all of them with Rainbow Mulberry Trees to welcome the arrival of the silkworm babies!

That evening, as soon as she returned to the space, Lan Mo discovered that all the Rainbow Mulberry Trees had grown into large trees. Their leaves were as red as fire, as yellow as gold, as blue as the sea, as green as jade, and as purple as twilight… vibrant and magnificent.

Since the mulberry leaves were ready to be harvested, did that mean the silkworm babies had hatched?

Lan Mo hurried to the Silkworm Room to check the small eggs in the cardboard boxes. Sure enough, many tiny black dots were wriggling around.

What should she do now? The newly hatched silkworm babies were even smaller than ants. Was she supposed to move them out one by one?

But if she did that, she probably wouldn’t get any sleep tonight. Never mind—she decided to gather some mulberry leaves first!

To avoid harvesting all the mulberry leaves at once, Lan Mo decided to take a basket and personally pick the leaves from the fields.

Mulberry leaves tended to dry out quickly once picked, and silkworms couldn’t eat wet leaves, nor did they like overly dry ones.

Once they had molted two or three times, they wouldn’t be so picky. For now, she wouldn’t plant anything else in the fields.

Lan Mo sorted the harvested mulberry leaves by color. If it were the system, it would have automatically sorted them. She then cut the sorted leaves into small pieces and scattered them into the corresponding cardboard boxes.

She could come back tomorrow morning to replace them with fresh mulberry leaves. For now, she needed to hurry and “steal” some “crops” from other friends’ farms to make up for the two million Gold Coins she had spent on the seeds.

The Spiritual Medicine planted by the “Sect Grand Elder” seemed to be all poisonous, with strange and unusual names. Could he be a Poison Refiner?

Lan Mo didn’t care whether those medicines were poisonous or not—if she could steal them, she would. At worst, she could sell them all.

She didn’t know how to refine poisons, and playing around with them might end up poisoning her, which wouldn’t be worth it.

The breathtaking “Dream Return Millennium” in the spirit field of the “Flower Fairy of the Immortal Realm” was finally available for stealing. Lan Mo quickly tapped twice on the screen.

Huh? How come she only managed to steal ten “Dream Return Millennium” flowers from one plot of land? She wasn’t sure what these flowers were for, but their name alone sounded impressive.

Lan Mo tried selling one flower, and it actually sold for two hundred thousand Gold Coins! This item was even more valuable than Spirit Rice!

Something this expensive might truly be a treasure. She decided not to sell the remaining nine flowers for now—perhaps one day she could exchange them for something even more valuable.

Ding-dong!

The “Flower Fairy of the Immortal Realm” suddenly came knocking, [“Hey, Little Pitiful, you just stole ten Dream Return Millenniums from me. Can you return a few?”]

Damn, this is the first time I’ve seen someone ask for stolen goods to be returned. It seems Dream Return Millennium really is valuable.

Lan Mo thought she might as well stay silent and pretend she didn’t know, but she ended up replying, “Returning them is impossible unless you trade something for them.”

Then another message came through, [“Little Pitiful in the Sixties, how about I give you a few centennial peonies from our Immortal Realm?”]

[“Thanks, but I already have peonies.”]

Peonies are only good for looking at, not eating. They’d be useful for filling up a garden, but that’s about it.

[“How about I give you two bottles of Hundred Flowers Immortal Dew in exchange for four Dream Return Millenniums?”]

[“What’s Hundred Flowers Immortal Dew?”]

[“It’s a nectar and jade liquid made from a hundred types of flowers from the Immortal Realm.”]

Nectar and jade liquid made from a hundred Immortal Realm flowers—could a mortal like her even drink it?

[“Flower Fairy, can mortals drink that Hundred Flowers Immortal Dew?”]

[“Mortals can only drink a small sip at a time. If you drink too much, you might not wake up for a month, lost in a drunken dream.”]

She didn’t want to be lost in a drunken dream. Lan Mo asked, [“What are its effects?”]

[“It has many benefits. Mortals who drink it can detoxify thousands of poisons, cure hundreds of illnesses, strengthen their bodies, and beautify their skin…”]

[“Alright, I understand. I just sold six Dream Return Millenniums, so I only have four left. I’ll return them all to you!”] To avoid giving her a reason to trick her out of the other Dream Return Millenniums, Lan Mo told a little white lie.

The “Flower Fairy of the Immortal Realm” sent Lan Mo two bottles of Hundred Flowers Immortal Dew, along with a pot of Centennial King of Peonies complete with Immortal Soil.

Lan Mo sent over the four Dream Return Millenniums and also included a Charcoal-roasted Gale Rabbit as a gift.

The “Fairyland Little Flower Fairy” immediately replied upon receiving the Dream Return Millenniums, [“Thank you, Little Pitiful, and thank you for the roasted Gale Rabbit. Next time you steal Dream Return Millenniums from other Immortal Friends, don’t sell them—you can trade with me instead. Dream Return Millenniums only mature once every hundred years. Eating them allows your soul to return to any place and appear in anyone’s dreams.”]

[“So you’re saying eating this lets you send dreams? Can living people send dreams too? And when we send dreams, will our souls be able to return?”]

Lan Mo was a bit worried. If she sent a dream and couldn’t return, would she have to report to the underworld?

[“If you eat one petal at a time, your soul will definitely return. But if you eat several petals at once, whether your soul can return is uncertain. Are you planning to eat it yourself? Do you want to send a dream to a loved one?”]

[“Mm…”]

She did want to go back and see if her body had been rescued and, if so, who was now living inside it.

[“Eat one petal at a time, focus your mind on the place you want to go, and your soul will naturally drift there. But after a quarter of an hour, your soul will be pulled back into your body.”]

A Dream Return Millennium only has six petals. She still had five left, so she probably wouldn’t need that many.

[“Flower Fairy, are there any other side effects to this flower?”]

[“Eating too much can cause Soul Departure—didn’t I already mention that?”]

[“Alright, thank you for the explanation!”]

Lan Mo stopped chatting with the “Flower Fairy of the Immortal Realm” and sent a Dream Return Millennium to her cash cow, “Little Useless in the Cultivation World,” while storing the other four in the Millennium Mystical Ice Box.

Over on the other side, “Little Useless in the Cultivation World” received the gift Lan Mo had sent her and jumped up in excitement.

This poor little thing sure knew how to steal—first it was the Carefree Flower, and now she’d even managed to snatch Dream Return Millennium, a flower she’d never even seen before!

[Poor little thing, what do you need this time? I’ll send it to you.]

[Thanks, but I don’t really need anything for now. I thought we were friends—why are you being so polite?]

[Since we’re friends, how about I send you some gold, silver, and jewels? I hear you mortals love that sort of thing.]

The sugar daddy truly lived up to his title, offering gold, silver, and jewels without a second thought.

Within seconds, “Little Useless in the Cultivation World” sent Lan Mo a large chest filled with gold, silver, and jewels.

Lan Mo was completely stunned…
