Chapter 80
: Joining Forces, the Precious Immortal Spirit (Please continue reading)
A persistent, lingering ethereal cloud.
This made the spirit farmers from the four districts of "Five Grains Spirit Village" remember the name Li Changsheng.
As the evening glow rose on the horizon, the weather returned to cool.
Li Changsheng raised his hand and returned the "Minor Cloud and Rain Technique" to his dantian. He listened to the spirit farmers whispering about him, and although he appeared calm on the surface, a smile couldn't help but flash in his eyes.
These people can afford to spend a low-grade spirit stone to travel by carriage.
Even if they're poor, they won't be really poor.
This is what GG is all about.
Who knows, once the "sacrificial field" ceremony is over, someone will come and ask him to irrigate the "sacred field".
Just as he was thinking this.
The large flatbed cart slowly came to a stop in front of a tall stone archway inscribed with "Yuquan Lingzhuang".
The obese young driver stood up, glanced around at everyone, and said, "Please get out of the car and rest for half an hour. We will continue our journey after half an hour, and we expect to arrive at the 'Cloud and Mist Great Swamp' spiritual land by early tomorrow morning."
"The 'rice field offering' takes place at noon, which is enough time for everyone to rest."
He finished speaking.
He gestured for everyone to get off the bus.
Li Changsheng, holding Ya Ya who had been asleep for almost a day, rubbed his eyes and curiously looked around at the surroundings before getting off the car with Wa Tianjiao and Da Congming.
As soon as I got off the bus.
Da Congming couldn't resist running to the roadside bushes to pee, and then ran around happily for several laps before huffing and puffing as he ran back.
"That stupid dog..."
Li Changsheng glared at it with amusement, found a relatively clean stone to sit on, and took out the steamed mixed grain rice balls wrapped in vegetable leaves from his package.
I handed one to Ya Ya.
"Are you hungry? Eat up..."
"Oh dear..."
Ya Ya grinned happily, nestled in his arms, munching on a spirit rice ball, her little eyes darting around as she looked at her surroundings. When she saw fireflies she had never seen before, she let out a surprised "Ya ya!"
Li Changsheng chuckled and patted his little head.
Give Big Smart two mixed spirit rice balls to gnaw on, and then take out a piece of "refined copper ore" weighing one or two ounces and feed it to Frog Pride.
Just as he took out the spirit rice ball to eat.
Ning Cheng, dressed in purple, was also eating a spirit rice ball. She walked over, smiling, and praised, "Ya Ya, you're so cute!" Without a care for being dirty, she plopped down on a nearby embankment, quickly finished her spirit rice ball, and exclaimed:
"Junior Brother Li's 'Minor Cloud Rain Technique' used at noon is truly amazing."
Li Changsheng, unaware of her purpose, shook his head modestly and said, "It cannot compare to Senior Sister Ning Cheng's 'Golden Rain Technique.' To be honest, Senior Sister, the 'Golden Rain Technique' you used that day truly astonished me."
"No, no..."
"Junior Brother Li's 'Minor Cloud Rain Technique' lasts so long, that's true skill..."
"Senior Sister Ning's Golden Rain Technique..."
The two of them took turns praising each other.
They went back and forth several times.
Ning Cheng glanced speechlessly at Li Changsheng, whose smile remained unchanged, thought for a moment, and then said with a smile:
"Junior Brother Li, there is no competition between us."
"Should we join forces?... "
"Join forces?"
Li Changsheng was taken aback, mistakenly thinking that Ning Cheng was referring to "sacrificial fields".
Just as I was about to speak, I heard her say:
"I have quite a few clients. If their spiritual fields need watering with spiritual rain, I can introduce them to Junior Brother Li."
"But if they hire you."
"Junior Brother Li, you need to give me a low-grade spirit stone as a reward."
She paused, then added:
"If you can introduce me to a customer, Junior Brother Li, the commission will also be one low-grade spirit stone."
"If there are any tasks that also involve clearing and irrigating the spiritual fields, we can take them together and split the rewards 50/50, how about that?"
"So that's how they joined forces..."
The thought flashed through his mind, and after a moment's thought, Li Changsheng nodded in agreement, cupped his hands and smiled, "Let's do as Senior Sister Ning says. Please don't hesitate to introduce customers to us."
Ning Cheng's words only benefited him and did not harm him.
Even if you draw a low-grade spirit stone.
He still has four low-grade spirit stones to earn, so who would complain about spirit stones being too hot to handle?
Ning Cheng smiled, her tone slightly smug, and said, "Don't worry, Junior Brother, after the 'Sacrifice Field' ceremony, you'll definitely have plenty of spirit stones to earn."
"Then junior brother will wait..."
Li Changsheng smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.
The two then started chatting.
They talked about all sorts of things.
Ning Cheng did most of the talking, and he listened.
This allowed Li Changsheng to gain a deeper understanding of the "Lingtian Palace".
According to her account.
The "Lingtian Hall" governs all the spiritual lands of the sect.
There are roughly two business models.
One type is the various "spirit estates" directly under the jurisdiction of the "spirit field hall".
He distributed the spiritual fields among his disciples without charging any rent, but required them to contribute 50% of the annual harvest.
The other type is the "manor" we saw earlier.
As long as they are spirit plant masters who have advanced to the late stage of Qi Refining.
You can then apply to the "Spirit Field Hall" for an independent "manor" and bear the profits and losses yourself. Whether you plant spirit grains or spirit herbs, or leave it idle, the "Spirit Field Hall" will not care.
The size of the "manor" varies depending on its spiritual location.
The "Spirit Field Hall" collects a corresponding amount of spirit stones each year.
The former is guaranteed against drought and flood.
Analogous to tenant farmers.
The latter, however, was independent and self-reliant, and could be considered a semi-landlord.
And just then...
Ning Cheng's casual remark stirred something in Li Changsheng's mind.
"For ordinary cultivators, the best course of action is to honestly cultivate the spiritual fields at 'Five Grains Spirit Manor,' accumulate some wealth, and then return to the mortal world to enjoy a life of luxury, leaving blessings for their descendants."
"And for plant cultivators..."
"Manor management is the best way out, bar none."
At this point, Ning Cheng paused, her face full of longing, and said:
"Legend has it that if a spirit plant master cultivates a large quantity of a certain type of spirit plant, there is a slight chance that the heavens will favor them and give birth to a 'celestial spirit' seed..."
"If it nurtures a 'celestial spirit' destiny seed."
"Even Qi Refining cultivators are regarded as close friends by those high and mighty Foundation Establishment cultivators, who would not dare to insult them easily..."
"Why is that?... "
Li Changsheng's eyes lit up for a moment, and he asked, feigning curiosity.
Ning Cheng smiled and said, "Naturally, it's because the fruit of a first-tier 'Immortal Spirit' seed has effects comparable to a second-tier spiritual plant, while the fruit of a second-tier 'Immortal Spirit' seed has effects comparable to a third-tier spiritual plant."
"As for the third-tier 'Celestial Spirit'..."
She chuckled softly, offering no explanation.
"Is that so…?"
Li Changsheng was overjoyed.
If Ning Cheng's statement is true.
The fruit of the "Soul-Capturing Wood" Immortal Spirit Seed corresponds to a second-tier spiritual plant.
It would be impossible for him not to become successful!
However, after the initial joy...
Li Changsheng became even more vigilant, and then he thought of what Ning Cheng had said: planting a large number of single spiritual plants could potentially give birth to "immortal spirit" spiritual seeds.
He made a decision in his heart.
Even if we were to expose the "Soul-Capturing Wood" immortal spirit seed, we would have to wait until after the "Manor" was established.
Before the two could chat for long...
The voice of the obese young car owner came through.
"Everyone has rested enough, it's time to set off..."
Upon hearing this...
Li Changsheng said no more, picked up Ya Ya, and led Frog Pride and Big Congming onto the large flatbed cart, still sitting in the middle position.
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the stars twinkle.
Under the tranquil night sky.
After a few moments of quiet conversation, everyone closed their eyes to rest, with only the clear chirping of insects echoing through the air.
The large flatbed carts were quite fast, even fast.
It swayed and staggered all the way.
As night gradually fades and the sun rises, the darkness gradually recedes.
A burst of noise startled everyone on the flatbed cart awake.
Li Changsheng looked in the direction of the sound.
Not far away, a tall archway stood.
The four large characters "Sanhua Lingzhuang" are engraved on it.
Along the roadside beneath the archway, long rows of stalls are set up.
It seems to be a point of convergence.
Centered around the archway.
Roads, resembling roots, extend in all directions.
It is evident that there were many vehicles similar to flatbed carts, carrying loads of people to the location of "Sanhua Lingzhuang".
"Finally, we've reached the 'Sacrificial Field' location..."
This made the spirit farmers from the four districts of "Five Grains Spirit Village" remember the name Li Changsheng.
As the evening glow rose on the horizon, the weather returned to cool.
Li Changsheng raised his hand and returned the "Minor Cloud and Rain Technique" to his dantian. He listened to the spirit farmers whispering about him, and although he appeared calm on the surface, a smile couldn't help but flash in his eyes.
