Chapter 97 - 89: Insight Through Xuan Paper_3
Early the next morning.
Zhou Changwang went out.
He divided his many spirit talismans into three batches and managed to sell them all.
Perhaps due to the calming of the chaos, the price of spirit talismans slightly decreased.
But for Zhou Changwang, it was merely a matter of earning more or less; he didn’t care much.
In the end, apart from the First-Grade Initial Stage Spiritual Talismans which he kept, most of the spirit talismans in his possession were sold.
And his storage bag now contained an additional two hundred and thirty-seven Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
He was satisfied.
Then he wandered around Shuiyun Pavilion.
Afterwards, the two hundred and thirty-seven Lower-Grade Spirit Stones turned into one hundred and thirty-seven.
A bottle of Yellow Spirit Pills, fifty Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, and a bottle of Eye-clearing Spiritual Liquid, also fifty Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
Yellow Spirit Pills were prepared for his speedy cultivation to the peak of Third-Layer Qi Cultivation, a bottle of ten pills was more than enough.
As for the Eye-clearing Spiritual Liquid, it was prepared for his cultivation of the Spirit Eye Technique. Previously, he had bought five bottles, having used four and indeed felt his eyes becoming much clearer and brighter.
His vision broadened, allowing him to see twice the distance previously possible.
However, hoping to see beyond the Xuan paper and observe what lies on the other side left much to be desired.
Thus, he intended to buy another bottle.
After all, Eye-clearing Spiritual Liquid was a good thing, using more had benefits and no detriments.
Finally, he headed to the Independent Cultivator Marketplace.
He had endured hardship for quite some time.
Previously, he spent his last Lower-Grade Spirit Stone on buying Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees, leaving only Spirit Rice in the grain jar without a single ordinary spirit vegetable.
So much so that when Qian Xiaoyue visited, he was too embarrassed to offer a meal at home.
Therefore, he planned to buy some Spirit Beast flesh and blood, along with some spirit vegetable seeds.
After all, his Spirit Field was extensive, and any small patch could accommodate some plantings.
Moreover, the maturity period for spiritual vegetables was short. A single Fertilization Technique would suffice for planting roots, sprouting, and growing to harvest maturity.
Having just spent three Lower-Grade Spirit Stones on a small bag of assorted spirit vegetable seeds, he happened to see that Spirit Plant Master Chen Yushu setting up a stall to sell rice again.
The opposite party seemed to have noticed him as well and waved.
Zhou Changwang hesitated briefly before walking over.
"Elder Chen, why have you called me?"
Zhou Changwang greeted with a slight hesitation in his inquiry.
"I have something to ask you."
Chen Yushu pondered for a moment and set up a Sound Insulation Technique.
"Please speak, elder."
Zhou Changwang’s heart tightened, had he discovered that he had cultivated Thunder Spirit Rice? Yet he remained expressionless.
"It’s like this, I’ve rented a new manor in the East District, which has over ten acres of Spirit Field. I plan to grow a special Spirit Plant there."
He paused briefly, glanced at Zhou Changwang, and then continued, "However, I am short of one or two reliable Spirit Farmers.
That’s why I thought of you.
We’ve known each other for quite some time and I trust you. If you are willing, come help me at the manor; food and lodging included, plus ten Lower-Grade Spirit Stones per month."
"Also, the Spiritual Qi density in the East District is quite high, which will certainly aid in your cultivation practice."
After speaking, he casually observed Zhou Changwang, appearing indifferent.
"This..."
Zhou Changwang paused, showing a hint of surprise.
Unexpected that Chen Yushu would attempt to recruit him.
The offer was indeed quite attractive for an ordinary low-tier Spirit Farmer.
Considering that Zhou Changwang had toiled for most of the past year to earn only forty or fifty Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, with an initial investment of thirty Lower-Grade Spirit Stones barely leaving him with a slight gain.
Not to mention, the cultivation environment in the East District was the dream of countless low-tier cultivators. One day of practice there equals about four or five days in the marketplace outskirts.
And possibly receiving guidance from Chen Yushu, a Sixth-Layer Qi Cultivation Spirit Plant Master... both in cultivation and in spirit planting, it would be extremely rewarding.
Benefits that couldn’t be bought with Spirit Stones.
But for the current Zhou Changwang, they seemed insignificant.
He had his own courtyard, his own Spirit Field, and many secrets... how could he dare do things under the gaze of others?
So, after brief hesitation, he quickly spoke, "Thank you, Elder Chen, for considering me, but I don’t plan to engage in Spirit Field farming for others at this moment."
At this moment, Chen Yushu was stunned, not expecting Zhou Changwang to refuse, saying, "Remember the three Spirit Seeds I asked you to cultivate last time?
A few months ago, my mentor and I finally succeeded in cultivating ten Thunder Spirit Rice Trees, making them root, sprout, and grow Thunder Spirit Rice.
This time, I plan to expand the cultivation scale of Thunder Spirit Rice... are you truly uninterested in participating? If successful, you might rejoin the Spirit Plant Hall and become an official Spirit Plant Master."
"You grew them?"
Zhou Changwang exclaimed in surprise.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yushu also managed to cultivate Thunder Spirit Rice and planned for large-scale planting.
Although recalling that even he, a Third-level Qi Cultivation Practitioner, succeeded, considering Chen Yushu was a legitimate Spirit Plant Master and his mentor was a High-tier Spirit Plant Master above Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation, cultivating Thunder Spirit Rice Trees from seeds was perfectly normal.
