Li Xiang didn't go for the entire stalk of Golden Essence Rice. Instead, he carefully took three to five grains from the hundreds of grains, then moved on to the next stalk.
There were at least 100 to 200 grains of rice on a stalk of Golden Essence Rice. Losing 10 to 20 would not attract much attention, let alone three to five.
If one didn't look carefully, one wouldn't be able to tell.
The Golden Essence Rice's yield wasn't low, with each stalk having two to three hundred grains of rice. There was no telling how much Golden Essence Rice could be harvested from the tens of thousands of acres of rice fields. That was definitely a terrifying amount of wealth.
It was no wonder that so many monsters came to seek gratuitous help. They simply couldn't help it! It was too alluring.
