A family of five, the Lai Lai family, leased Old Yutou's dilapidated Sunsong Ranch in Halfhill. This news quickly spread throughout the Tillers of Halfhill thanks to Nana Mudclaw's publicity.
According to Nana's inside information, this family was from beyond Pandaria, but they had received the approval of Yu'lon of the Jade Serpent Temple and had even come to the Valley of the Four Winds accompanied by Master Taran Zhu of the Shado-Pan!
The Tillers felt that the new owners of Sunsong Ranch were no ordinary people!
The next morning, Galen, his wife, and children began planting the seeds they had bought.
Yesterday, he, along with Legolas, Arathor, and Yu'lei, had cleared two plots of land, and Yu'lei had exterminated all the surrounding mosquitoes and insects.
Therefore, early in the morning, when the sky was still a hazy gray, Galen roused Legolas and Arathor.
After Galen's family moved in, Old Yutou stopped guarding the farm, leaving the somewhat dilapidated bamboo house to Galen and his family, and returned to his home in the center of town.
Below the bamboo house, Galen had built a simple stove, and at this moment, he was busy in front of it.
"Father, what's for breakfast today?"
Arathor finished washing up first, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and came to Galen's side.
"We're having egg noodles for breakfast, Arathor."
All the ingredients for breakfast were readily available at the Halfhill market, and Galen cooked a full pot.
"Arathor, go see if Legolas is ready, and go wake your mother."
Last night, after the two children fell asleep, Alleria and Sylvanas and he admired the moonlight on the roof of the bamboo house and had a heart-to-heart talk.
As they talked, the atmosphere changed, and after Galen set up soundproofing and warning barriers for the two children, they had a good night together.
As a result, Galen was refreshed the next day, but the two Windrunners were sleeping in.
After breakfast, it was time to go to the fields!
Galen plowed the land, Alleria and Sylvanas were responsible for planting the seeds they had bought, and the two children laboriously held a watering can together, watering the newly planted seeds.
Galen had already inquired in Halfhill that these water sources had special magic that could nourish the seeds and accelerate growth.
After working for a long time, they finally finished the first field.
At this time, a group of pandaren came to the outside of the farm, led by Nana Mudclaw, whom he had met yesterday.
"Welcome to the big family of Halfhill!"
"This is Farmer Fang."
He led a yak into the farm.
"This is Hao Han Mudclaw, he's giving you a mushan beast and a lot of precious seeds!"
"This is Yu'er Weavepaw, she brought you two pigs!"
"This is Ashyo!"
He carried an orange tree and a shovel, ready to plant it in the corner of Sunsong Ranch.
"This is Dina Mudclaw, she decided to give you a brand new set of furniture, but you need to move it yourself!"
"This is Farmer Yoon, the largest chicken farmer in Halfhill, he brought you a cage of chicks!"
"This is Zizi!"
He held four little lambs in his hand.
"This is Ayla!"
This female pandaren held a cat in her arms.
"Jina Mudclaw, you can go to her if you need anything in the future, she's in the Halfhill market!"
After all the guests were introduced, Nana said again: "Galen family, I welcome you on behalf of the Tillers of the Valley of the Four Winds!"
"Thank you for the generosity of all the neighbors, I will remember your help!"
Galen was also very surprised that he hadn't taken the initiative to contact these senior Tillers, and hadn't spent any effort to improve their reputation, but they had come to his door themselves!
Perhaps Galen didn't yet understand the prestige of the Jade Serpent Temple and the Shado-Pan among the pandaren people.
The leisurely life of a farmer in Halfhill allowed Galen to relax his body and mind.
...
Combined with his previous slaying of the Sha of Doubt, he, like the Pandaren Emperor Shaohao, had purged his own doubts, resulting in a qualitative improvement in his state of mind!
After all, his strength was built upon the power of the Origin Heart and the millions of people it drew from. Although his power level was already that of a demigod, his mental cultivation was insufficient.
Galen had previously said that among demigods, he only admired Shaohao because his strength was earned through his own training. Galen's journey to Pandaria this time was to walk Shaohao's path again, refining his state of mind.
On the tenth day after Galen and Zhutawen parted ways, a black wind serpent rose from a cliff south of the Valley of the Four Winds, vigorously wagging its tail in the sky as it sped towards Halfhill.
Upon the back of the Cloudwing Onyx, Zhutawen lay there weakly, his eyes filled with despair and pain, but he still mustered his spirits and said to his wind serpent:
"Hurry, find Highlord Galen!"
The wisdom of an adult wind serpent is no less than that of a Pandaren. It still remembered that powerful foreign person and the Azure Dragon Maiden on his wrist.
Under the wind serpent's all-out flight, it arrived at Halfhill in less than half a day.
Moreover, relying on the aura left behind by Galen and the others, and a little bit of luck, the wind serpent found Sunsong Ranch!
Galen was leading the children in harvesting the first batch of vegetables. Carrots that originally needed a month and a half to mature were being harvested after only about ten days, thanks to Galen's nightly use of a little Bronze Dragon time acceleration.
As a result, just as he pulled out the first thigh-thick carrot, he saw a black wind serpent flying over, almost nose-diving into Galen's second field, eating a mouthful of mud.
Then, its body began to shrink, shrinking into Zhutawen's arms.
This burst of energy had exhausted it, and it urgently needed rest.
Zhutawen at this moment was devoid of his previous elegant master image. He was lying sprawled in the field, and when he saw Galen approaching, he struggled to get up, but accidentally aggravated the injuries within his body!
"Pfft!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood!
Galen was shocked!
Crap!
Zhutawen spat blood!
"Master Zhutawen! What's wrong with you!"
Galen threw down the hoe in his hand and quickly helped Zhutawen up, then immediately cast a Holy Light spell on him!
Zhutawen only felt a burst of comfort in his chest, which had been about to explode, but then he spat out another mouthful of blood.
However, this time the blood was black and stagnant, forced out of his body by Galen's Holy Light power.
"Highlord! Something has happened in Krasarang Wilds, the Celestial Chi-Ji needs your help!"
After Zhutawen straightened his breath, he hurriedly asked Galen for help!
Chi-Ji, one of the Four Celestials of Pandaria, named Akama, is a wild demigod representing hope.
During Lei Shen's conquest of Pandaria, he and the Mogu defeated the four August Celestials. Chi-Ji was bound in chains and paraded before the despairing Pandaren slaves.
It is said that after the Pandaren uprising, Chi-Ji placed a rainbow in the sky, so that the Pandaren would no longer fear storms.
When Shaohao began his journey through Pandaria, he lost hope, until Chi-Ji flew above him, making him realize that he needed to use the power of hope to save himself.
Later, Shaohao defeated the Sha of Despair in Krasarang Wilds, and Chi-Ji established the Chi-Ji Temple here as a dojo to suppress the Sha of Despair!
