Chapter 481
The Little Lucky Group of the Qin Yan Marquis's Mansion
The county magistrate knew that the clan must be taking this rain and snow very seriously.
Otherwise, something as rare as the seeds of the spirit vegetable wouldn't have been sent along with ordinary vegetable seeds.
In this world of cultivation, besides the people of the immortal sects, there are cultivators from all over the world. Only those with high fortune and luck can summon the weather. Summoning the weather is a kind of magic in the art of summoning wind and rain.
Qin Tan has been the county magistrate for many years. He can summon rain and snow, but it rarely rains, and snow is even more difficult to come by. Therefore, the various clans in this area believe that Qin Tan's spiritual power is average and he doesn't have any great abilities, so they don't think much of him.
Things have changed today. Good heavens, even with the help of the immortal sects, this snow is nothing special.
"What kinds of medicinal vegetable seeds are there?" the county magistrate asked.
The clansmen said, "Just ordinary spiritual vegetable seeds, chili peppers, and Chinese cabbage."
The county magistrate nodded, took the money, and went to find Qin Tan. It was only today, in the dead of winter, that things started to look nice, with large snowflakes falling. The county magistrate was a little excited. Qin Tan, Qin Di, Qin Lang, and Qin Bi were still calling for snow with the little ones.
"My lord," the county magistrate said, handing over the vegetable seeds, "the seeds have been purchased. Do you wish to plant them?"
Qin Tan said, "Plant them all."
The county magistrate accepted the order and led his men and farmers to plant vegetables amidst the wind and snow.
"Your Excellency," a farmer said, "nothing grows in winter."
The attendant added, "Sir, vegetables don't grow well in winter. It's a waste of this lucky rain and snow. Why don't we let the rain and snow continue, and when it stops, we can collect the snow and go home to plant spiritual vegetables."
At this point, the attendant whispered, "We planted spirit vegetables, but the benefits are obvious. There's no guarantee that the vegetables will grow. Once they do, we'll just give Magistrate Qin a few."
The county magistrate should have had the same idea, but today Qin Tan brought people from the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion to summon him. Just looking at this snow, he shouldn't have been a hindrance. Each family has farmland, but County Magistrate Qin doesn't have much land.
As long as the county magistrate is capable, the county assistant will provide full support.
"As you command, Magistrate," said the county clerk. "Plant the seeds."
"Some need to be raised as seedlings."
“No need,” the county magistrate said. “The rain and snow won’t last long. While the Qin Yan Marquis’s mansion is releasing its small amount of good fortune, quickly plant all the vegetable seeds. Plant spirit vegetable seeds in the places with slightly better soil.”
The attendants immediately went to do it. Everyone scattered seeds in the wind and snow and covered them with soil. Because the dry soil in the wilderness had been turned over, and the soil had been turned over during the rain and snow, the dry soil became moist. If it weren't for the cold winter, vegetables would definitely grow.
But this is winter, and it's dry and cold. It's only been raining and snowing for a short while.
In a winter with little rain or snow, the whole season is generally dry and cold, with a slight breeze that stings the skin. But when it rains or snows, the soil becomes moist and the cold subsides.
The county magistrate didn't think the vegetables would grow, but Qin Tan was capable and even brought people from the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion to summon the rain and snow. The county magistrate, being a native of the area, would definitely not say a word. Even if not a single vegetable grew, he wouldn't go against the county magistrate.
This decision couldn't be more correct.
The county magistrate even went with the farmers to plant vegetables, instructing them: "Even if the vegetables don't grow, you must plant them carefully for me."
"Magistrate Qin summoned rain and snow for us, so we'll definitely plant our vegetables well."
With rain and snow irrigation, the land is not short of water, so why worry about the crops not growing? The farmers rubbed their hands together and planted vegetables one plot at a time in the rain and snow, planting one type of vegetable per plot.
As it turned out, the small groups of people brought by Magistrate Qin, along with the people from Marquis Qin Yan's mansion, were incredibly helpful.
The county magistrate's servant was surprised to find small green and purple sprouts on the ground after only half an acre of land had been planted. It looked like a plant had sprouted. What kind of plant was it? It sprouted after rain and snow?
Upon closer inspection, the servant exclaimed in surprise, "The vegetable seeds have sprouted!" "Nonsense," a guard retorted.
“No nonsense.” The servant excitedly ran to tell the county magistrate.
The county magistrate was planting vegetables when he turned back to look at the plot and was shocked to find that the seeds he had just planted had indeed sprouted, and they were all spiritual vegetables, low-level spiritual vegetables.
Even low-grade spiritual vegetables are still spiritual vegetables!
Even low-grade spiritual vegetables won't be given away by the immortal sects. Cultivators can only earn monster crystals to buy them. In the cultivation world, eating a spiritual vegetable is a luxury. Even a county magistrate can only eat a few a year.
He still cultivates immortality; if he didn't, the clan wouldn't provide him with any spiritual vegetables.
The county magistrate hurriedly went to tell Qin Tan that Qin Tan already knew, and his hands trembled with excitement. Qin Bi looked over and realized that Qin Tan's trembling hand was nothing to worry about. The little luck group from the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion coolly threw luck to the desolate land.
"Oh no, oh no..." Qin Bi blurted out.
"What's wrong?" Qin Lang was in a good mood, but his heart jumped.
Qin Bi, however, said with great delight, "Let's discuss it."
Qin Lang was relieved; Qin Bi's expression clearly indicated that there was no need to worry.
"What are you going to discuss?" Qin Di asked.
“A rare vegetable has grown in this desolate place, so we should keep it a secret.” Qin Bi’s eyes were bright as she said, “Third Uncle, we should share it equally with your county government, so that shameless Qin He won’t claim it as her good fortune.”
Qin Tan lowered his eyes and pondered, and the county magistrate was immediately tempted.
“My lord,” the county magistrate said, “with me here, the powerful families in the county will definitely not have much to say.”
Qin Tan glanced at the county magistrate and saw that winning people's hearts was no problem. The county magistrate would definitely follow his lead from now on. Qin Tan made a quick decision and decided that the best vegetables would be shared by their county government.
With the help of each family, they can also receive a share of the spiritual vegetables.
Of course, Qin Bi, Qin Lang, and Qin Di are also included.
Having received Qin Tan's approval, the county magistrate excitedly picked up his robe and entered the desolate land. He directed the people to continue planting vegetables while instructing those with summoning artifacts to continue cultivating farmland.
It doesn't matter if there aren't many cultivators; few farmers have spiritual roots.
The county magistrate sent people to each family to recruit people, and soon the family members sent by each family arrived.
Qin Bi was excited when she saw this: "Third Uncle, each family should select one cultivator to summon together. This rain and snow are so heavy that it's not easy to cover up the spiritual vegetables. If everyone from each family summons together, the spiritual vegetables will grow faster. We should hurry up and harvest them as soon as they grow."
Qin Bi spoke clearly, but Qin Tan couldn't understand how fast the spiritual vegetables could grow. Despite her doubts, Qin Tan didn't hesitate and immediately had the county magistrate arrange for people to summon them together.
This summoning was incredibly powerful; the sprouting spiritual vegetables began to grow rapidly, impossible to stop.
With each blink, the appearance changed. The disciples from various families who were summoned along with him were completely dumbfounded. This was too amazing! Whose fortune and luck were so incredible?
"At this rate, the vegetables are growing!" The county magistrate was overjoyed. "They can be grown and ready to eat today."
That was Qin Bi's plan. They picked vegetables to eat today, so Qin He wouldn't even get a chance to claim credit. It was a quick and easy affair; Qin He was still in the wilderness with Qin Yan. (End of Chapter)
