Chapter 12
: The Thief, Fang Yuan Wants a Part-Time Job
The "Love Flower" of destiny appears to be unharmed on the surface.
Li Changsheng, who was very familiar with the "seed of life", could tell at a glance that his "love flower" had been tampered with.
The thief was very cautious; he was clearly an experienced thief.
Instead of roughly cutting and picking the "love flower", he carefully picked the tiny branches inside the "love flower", and then covered the broken wounds of the branches with dust to make it look like they had been blown by the wind. He also picked one out of every twenty leaves.
If it were someone else...
You can't see it at all unless you look closely.
"Damn thief..."
Li Changsheng gritted his teeth inwardly. Despite all his precautions, he never expected that his money would still be stolen in the end.
He examined it carefully.
The "Love Flower" plant has lost three branches as thick as chopsticks, and about fifty leaves.
If it is sold.
Based on market prices, it is worth at least five low-grade spirit stones.
Five spirit stones.
That's enough for him to buy five kilograms of "Huangyaling Rice".
The crucial point is that even when he was desperately poor, he wouldn't risk his life to cultivate the "Love Flower," and now it's been stolen by thieves!
Absolutely, you beast!
"call…"
Li Changsheng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his chest, and began to think of a solution.
Thieves are cautious in their actions.
Even if he reports it to the manager of the "Spirit Field Hall", he probably won't be able to catch the person, and the matter will eventually be dropped. Moreover, it will alert the enemy and allow them to hide.
Think about it.
He decided to wait and see.
Thieves are like that; once they start, they'll do it again. If they come back again, even if you beat them to death on the spot, no one will find fault with it.
As for whether they can win or not? ...
The area where he lived was located in the lower-grade spirit field region, where even the most skilled spirit farmers were only at the third level of Qi Refining.
Given the poverty of the Lingnong, it was impossible for them to possess such powerful tools as "Dharma Seeds" and "Dharma Instruments".
At most, there is a "talismanic artifact" and a few "talismans".
Li Changsheng glanced at the "talismanic artifact" hoe in his hand, then touched the "Frog Prodigy" perched on his shoulder, and gritted his teeth, saying:
"Frog Prodigy, you must make me proud! Transform into a 'Spirit Beast,' and you absolutely must awaken your innate magical abilities..."
The best course of action now.
Humans can only rely on the frog's power.
Of course, Li Changsheng wouldn't do nothing.
He planned to postpone his plan to buy "spiritual rice" and instead save up his limited amount of spiritual sand to buy a few "talismans".
"Damn thief..."
Li Changsheng couldn't help but curse under his breath, then put the "Love Flower" into his "Life Pouch" and turned to leave the backyard.
Not long after.
Li Changsheng carried a hoe out of the courtyard, locked the door, and had only taken a few steps when a familiar voice came from behind him.
"Junior Brother Li, wait for me..."
Turning around, I saw Fang Yuan walking briskly towards me with a blank face and a sickle in his hand. If I didn't know him, I would have thought he was going to do some kind of bandit business.
They came closer.
Fang Yuan glanced enviously at the "Frog Prodigy" on Li Changsheng's shoulder, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Junior Brother Li, could you introduce me to your path?" After a pause, he quickly added, "Don't worry, I won't compete with you for business, and I'll give you the kickbacks I'm entitled to."
After returning home yesterday, he thought about it carefully.
We cannot give up this great opportunity to earn spirit stones just because we are physically weak.
Li Changsheng was young and strong, and earned a lot of money.
He admitted he couldn't compare, but he could earn less.
After all, even a small amount of extra income is still extra income...
"A way? What way?... "
Li Changsheng looked puzzled, as he didn't quite understand what Fang Yuan was saying.
"That... well, it's..."
As they approached, Fang Yuan hesitated to speak.
He thought for a moment, then clamped the sickle between his legs, raised his arm, held the sickle in one hand, and raised his index finger with the other.
Then, they moved around a bit...
"It's this one. Um, Junior Brother Li, you have connections, right...?"
"hiss…"
Li Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and couldn't help but gasp. He took two steps back and rubbed his eyes.
He looked at Fang Yuan, who was expressionless and vividly describing a certain method, with disbelief.
No.
You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually like this kind of thing?
If you like this kind of thing, then forget it.
The key is to understand the meaning of "square and round".
It seems you want him to introduce you to a way? ...
No, where did he get the way...wait, there actually is one...
Li Changsheng suddenly fell silent.
Seeing that he remained silent, Fang Yuan mistakenly thought that he did not want to introduce the way to earn spirit stones to her. After hesitating for a moment, she took out about ten milky white spirit fragments from her bosom and reluctantly handed them to Li Changsheng.
He said with a serious face:
"Junior Brother Li, don't worry, I will never steal your business. My health isn't good, and I couldn't compete even if I wanted to. I just want to earn some spirit fragments to make up for my lack of cultivation..."
"etc…"
Li Changsheng was confused. What did he mean by stealing business? His health wasn't good, so he was just trying to earn some spirit fragments? Suddenly, he jolted awake, raised his hand to interrupt Fang Yuan, swallowed hard, and hesitated before saying:
"Senior Brother Fang, you wouldn't be thinking of selling..., would you?"
Fang Yuan nodded as usual, then handed the broken spirit stone forward, saying, "This is a commission. I'll give you a share once I earn more spirit stones..."
"hiss…"
Li Changsheng gasped, looking at Fang Yuan as if he were a madman, then took several steps back and waved his hands repeatedly.
"I didn't... I didn't..."
"I, Li Changsheng, live an upright life and earn spirit stones honestly. There's no such evil path for me..."
After saying this, he turned and left without waiting for Fang Yuan to speak.
"Wait, Junior Brother Li, I won't fight you for it..."
Fang Yuan quickly grabbed a sickle and chased after him.
Until "Spirit Field".
Li Changsheng explained countless times before Fang Yuan finally believed that he really didn't have any part-time jobs, nor did he have any way to do so.
"Alright..."
Fang Yuan shook his head with regret, glanced at the "Frog Prodigy" on Li Changsheng's shoulder, sighed, and walked towards his own spiritual field with his sickle.
"This is unbelievable..."
Seeing Fang Yuan's disappointed expression, Li Changsheng cursed inwardly, "Why give up being a proper 'Spirit Plant Master'? What are you selling yourself for..."
He cursed Fang Yuan in his heart.
Coming to his senses, he entered the spirit field, and a thought involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
"If I were that..."
"What if a female Foundation Establishment cultivator were to generously offer 100,000 spirit stones to invite me to a grand conference...?"
"..."
Li Changsheng touched his face and nodded to himself.
With her looks, even if she didn't have 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, she should at least have 70,000 or 80,000...
Li Changsheng smiled slightly, and with a pleasant mood, began another busy day.
The dew is very heavy in the early morning.
The weeds and leaves, moistened by the dew, are sharp as knives.
The land reclamation had not been long.
Not only was Li Changsheng soaked to the bone, but red marks also appeared on his bare arms and legs, and the itchy pain from them quickly ruined his good mood.
"If only I could refine a 'Minor Cloud and Rain Technique' seed, I could directly draw away the dew from the weeds and leaves..."
But when he thought about the price of the "Minor Cloud Rain Technique" seed, which cost as much as a thousand low-grade spirit stones, he couldn't help but feel discouraged.
One thousand low-grade spirit stones.
Even if he didn't eat or drink, it would still take him three months to save up.
"I heard that the spellbook for the 'Minor Cloud Rain Technique' isn't expensive..."
Li Changsheng's mind stirred slightly. After thinking for a moment, he decided to work until noon and then go to the "Lingtian Hall" on the mountain to take a look and see what the price of "talismans" was.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth again.
"Damn thief..."
Time passed little by little.
The sun rises high in the sky.
The scorching heat quickly evaporated the morning dew.
But the high temperature also caused the farmers working in the fields to sweat profusely. The sweat would get wet and dry repeatedly, and their clothes would be stained with a layer of white alkali.
Li Changsheng, who was very familiar with the "seed of life", could tell at a glance that his "love flower" had been tampered with.
The thief was very cautious; he was clearly an experienced thief.
Instead of roughly cutting and picking the "love flower", he carefully picked the tiny branches inside the "love flower", and then covered the broken wounds of the branches with dust to make it look like they had been blown by the wind. He also picked one out of every twenty leaves.
