Farming and Cultivating Immortality with My Childhood Friend

The little pig and little bird are off on more adventures~ In this installment, the little pig is mostly in human form.

If you don't want to read the first book, start from Chapter Five or Six.

Once, the master told Kan Lejia that only when you establish your foundation have you truly entered the world of cultivation.

Back then, Kan Lejia was still only at the Qi Refining stage, a little golden pig who couldn't take human form. Seeing his master's solemn expression, he couldn't help but straighten up too, tucking in his short neck and hiding his double chin as they gazed at the sky in the distance. He wondered how cold and heartless the world of cultivation would be once he truly entered it.

The Ten Thousand Flavors Festival ended, and he finally succeeded in establishing his foundation. He said goodbye to his master and childhood friend Nan Xiuqi and headed home with him, only to be hit with a devastating blow: the home they'd spent so much time and effort building had been destroyed once again!

Waaah!!!

The little pig trembled and clutched his head with both hooves, sobbing. How cruel the cultivation world was! Just as cold and heartless as he'd imagined. He was only a weak, pitiful, helpless little pig. Why would it do something so awful to him?

Then he discovered that the ants and bees he'd casually raised had all mutated, transforming into legendary divine beasts. They still diligently produced honey for him free of charge, and even the rare Tai Sui rushed to offer itself to him.

They could even brew immortal wine capable of bewitching mighty cultivators at the Deity Transformation stage, or turn into elusive, deadly weapons that helped them easily defeat powerful enemies several cultivation tiers above them.

Then, at the legendary artifact site where countless cultivators had perished, a divine weapon awakened its consciousness and formed a killing array to slaughter everyone around it, only to somehow fall into the little pig's bloodline trap. In the end, it had no choice but to acknowledge him as its master and become his personal treasure.

Then a master weapon refiner willingly offered ten top-grade magic weapons just to get the spiritual fruit he'd casually planted. The world's top alchemist brought over Heaven-grade pills and joined a long queue, all to ask him to brew a pot of wine...

At last, the little pig stopped trembling and swished his tail, remarking to his childhood friend, “Actually, I think Master worried too much. The real cultivation world isn't all that cold and heartless...”

Having a divine weapon in one hand, divine beasts as underlings on the other, and a beautiful childhood friend as his Daoist partner is just too wonderful!

His childhood friend smiled and scratched the little pig's round belly. “Qingyan is the amazing one.”

The little golden pig happily rubbed against his lapel. “Having an amazing little pig as your Daoist partner makes you amazing too. Hehe.”

The second adventure of the little pig and little bird leans a little more toward epic fantasy power-fantasy.

The first adventure of the little pig and little bird is complete, and leans more toward a slice-of-life farming story.

Title of the first book: After Turning into a Pig, I Farm and Cultivate with My Childhood Friend

Blurb:

Kan Lejia wakes up one morning to discover that he's turned into a little golden pig. The villagers take him for an auspicious omen and capture him, planning to burn him as a bride for the Dragon King.

Just as he's about to become roast suckling pig, a kind-hearted person descends from the sky and rescues him. The little pig opens his eyes in excitement, only to find the person looks more and more familiar...

Hey, bro, why do you look so much like my childhood friend Nan Xiuqi, who disappeared without a trace two years ago?

Nan Xiuqi gently holds the pig's head and says, “Qingyan, I've made good progress in cultivation over the past two years. I've come to take you with me to cultivate.”

The little pig is shocked to learn that this is a fantasy world. He's angry that the other person left without saying goodbye all those years ago, and starts to awkwardly say, “Who wants to go with you? I haven't even...”

Then Nan Xiuqi says, “If you don't establish your foundation, you won't be able to take human form.”

The pig-headed little pig is stunned. “Let's go, let's go! Right now!”

He thought that once he arrived in the cultivation world, he could lie flat and enjoy a carefree life. But the so-called sect turns out to be little more than a village-plus, with spiritual energy as weak as watered-down counterfeit liquor. And his clever-looking childhood friend has spent two years struggling without even getting a glimpse of a Foundation Establishment Pill.

The little pig, who is about to spend the rest of his life with a pig's head, can't help bursting into tears. “Why does life keep hitting me, over and over and over and over and over and over...”

But where there's life, there's hope, and the little pig isn't an ordinary pig. He's Dang Kang, the auspicious beast who governs the harvest of the land!

The Classic of Mountains and Seas says: “Its call is its own name. When it appears, the world enjoys a great harvest.”

To become human again, the little pig grabs a hoe and is forced to start a farmer's life, growing crops in the cultivation world.

Ordinary carrots from the mortal world? One flick of his little hoof, bury them in the soil, and grow perfect spiritual plants.

Fancy fruit his childhood friend likes? Transplant the whole tree, bury it in the soil, and plant an entire courtyard full for him.

His friends can't beat the terrifying bees? Plant a forest of hallucinogenic flowers under their hive, get the bees tipsy, then take the honey and the hive, bees and all...

Growing spiritual grains, raising bees, keeping ants, brewing spiritual wine... I farm while you refine weapons. Husband and husband build a home together, and the little pig and his childhood friend work as a team to turn a desolate mountain into a perfect home.

Life gets better and better. Maybe turning human isn't all that urgent after all?

The little pig gazes dreamily at his reflection in the water. “Look at this silky mane, these innocent, sparkling eyes, this round belly and nimble tail. Is there anyone in the world cuter than me?”

“Tell me, am I the cutest and prettiest little pig in the world?” the little pig asks arrogantly, lying in his childhood friend's arms.

His childhood friend diligently brushes his coat. “Of course. Qingyan is the cutest, most innocent, prettiest, and liveliest little pig in the world. Everyone will love you.”

Watching the coat grow bright and smooth beneath his hands, his childhood friend kisses the little pig on the face with satisfaction. “But you can only stay by my side. No one can take you away.”

The little pig nods in satisfaction too.

“That's right. Life may keep hitting me, but this adorable little pig will win everyone's love with his own charm!”

My fellow disciples at Mingxin Sect see me as their number-one lucky mascot, lining up with snacks just to pet my fur. The evil boss in the dungeon thinks I'm the only companion in the world and would rather destroy the heavens and earth than let me leave. Even the cultivation world's top second-generation furball enthusiast falls in love with me at first sight and cries and pleads to take me as a disciple.

Because I am

The universe's number one, super-invincible, innocent, adorable, pretty, cute, everyone's-favorite little pig! (Crosses both hooves at his waist and confidently lifts his short neck.)
