Chapter 22: Renting of land
Chapter 22 Renting a Field
“Maturing ……”
“In maturity ……”
His mind converged on the Spirit Glow Grasses, and the status of all fourteen Spirit Glow Grasses showed that they were all in the middle of maturing.
“Be faster! Higher! Stronger!!!”
The black swordgrass stood straight up, conveying a spirit of upward mobility to Lu Xuan.
“Come see me when the flowers bloom ……”
Inside the fine red needles of the Red Cloud Pine, Lu Xuan saw several bright red flower clusters sprouting a tip.
After being cultivated for so long, the Red Cloud Pine had finally blossomed.
“The air is filled with a smell that is more decayed than usual, with a hint of burnt flavor that is mesmerizing.”
On the rotting wood, the Dark Medulla Chi, which had countless dark red mycelium growing on it, clearly enjoyed the special fertilizer Lu Xuan had added to the spirit field last night.
After strolling through the spirit field and confirming that each spirit plant was growing in good condition, he returned to the house.
Of the things left behind by Qin Ming, the storage bag was used directly by Lu Xuan, not to mention the over two hundred spirit stones.
As for the remaining flying swords and magic artifacts, and the unknown pills in the bottles and jars, he did not intend to rush out for the time being.
After all, it was also unknown if the flying sword spell artifacts were left with secret marks, and he decided to wait for the storm to pass before exchanging them for Spirit Stones or Spirit Seeds.
After a few days like this, Lu Xuan stayed in the courtyard, serving the spirit plants every day, seemingly leisurely and cozy, but in reality, he was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, worrying about the subsequent reactions that might be caused by killing Qin Ming.
After not finding any cultivators invading or spying on his yard, he relaxed a little and stepped out of the house.
The area of the yard’s spiritual field was too small, and with Hundred Herb Hall’s Steward He’s statement that he would establish a simple model of cooperation with Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan was again struck with the idea of renting a larger spiritual field.
He entered a dental firm that specialized in serving cultivators.
In the lobby of the dental firm, there were a handful of people who were either entertaining cultivator customers or organizing something.
“Welcome, fellow Daoist.”
A Toothman in his idle state saw a customer come to his door and was the first to welcome him out, an extremely warm smile on his face.
“So it’s Fellow Daoist Lu, are you planning to look at the Spirit Fields again this time?”
This Toothman happened to be the scarred young cultivator who had broken his mouth behind his back last time, he had a good memory and immediately recognized Lu Xuan’s figure, the smile on his mouth immediately froze and he purposely added a heavier tone to the word ‘again’.
Lu Xuan nodded, his expression indifferent.
When the scarred cultivator saw Lu Xuan’s gesture a hint of extremely subtle sarcasm flashed in his eyes as he shouted at a slightly chubby young cultivator next to him.
“Hey, this fellow Daoist wants to go and look at the Spirit Field, you come and entertain.”
He was clear that Lu Xuan was just a loose cultivator at the second level of Qi Practicing, and could not possibly have the strength to lease those large courtyards, and not wanting to waste time for nothing, he directly called out to a small loose cultivator who had just entered the work of the dental firm.
The slightly chubby youth looked up and said to Lu Xuan with a smile.
“What needs do you have, you can ask me directly, I have a large number of spirit fields here, and can fulfill the requirements of you at all levels.”
“I had my eye on a spirit field before, so you can take me over to look at it again.”
Lu Xuan explained to the slightly chubby cultivator about the spirit fields he had looked at and asked him to just bring them over directly.
The slightly chubby young cultivator nodded, and the two of them left the dental firm.
“Looking at those big spiritual fields again, what’s the point of looking at more? It’s still not affordable to rent.”
The scarred young cultivator looked at the two’s distant backs and snorted, turning his head and quickly switching to a warm and incomparable smile.
“This fellow Daoist, let me introduce you to that popular piece of top grade spirit field again ……”
……
Lu Xuan’s first choice was the courtyard that contained a mouthful of spirit springs, although it had the highest rent, requiring sixty spirit stones a month, the attraction of that spirit spring was simply too strong.
What’s more, with Qin Ming’s over two hundred spirit stones, Lu Xuan now felt that the price would be just fine.
The slightly chubby young cultivator led him, to that huge courtyard, took out a special array disk, and opened the protective array arranged outside.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, please take a look, the location of this courtyard is close to the center of the Square City, and all the people living nearby are some famous Qi Practicing Middle Stage Cultivators, so there’s no need to say anything about the safety.”
“There is more than an acre of spiritual fields in the courtyard, the spiritual qi is rich and can accelerate the growth of spiritual plants, it is most suitable for spiritual planters like you, fellow Lu.” “Of course, the main thing is this spiritual spring in the spiritual field, which can continuously seep out spiritual spring water with a faint spiritual qi, whether it’s used to brew spiritual wine or brew spiritual tea, it’s extremely suitable.”
“Adding less than spirit spring water when refining pills and weapons can also slightly improve the quality of the pills as well as the magic weapons.”
The slightly chubby young cultivator pointed at a spirit spring and said to Lu Xuan.
The spirit spring was about ten feet long and half a foot wide, with a shallow layer of accumulated spirit spring inside.
“Can this spirit spring guarantee that there will always be one? It won’t stop appearing after these are used up, right?”
He asked the slightly chubby cultivator about one of his doubts.
“Fellow Daoist you can rest assured, it is said that the Spirit Spring is closely connected to a branch of the Spirit Vein in the workshop, and there will always be Spirit Springs seeping out, just not in large quantities.”
“This point can be written inside the contract, if there is none, we will give you, fellow Daoist, adequate compensation.”
The slightly chubby young cultivator said with a smile.
“Can the price be any lower? Sixty spirit stones a month is a bit too expensive.”
Lu Xuan skillfully used his old skills.
“This …… rent is not something I can decide, however, if you want to rent it, that first grade protective formation in the courtyard can be free for you to use for a period of time.”
The slightly chubby young cultivator sighed in his heart, and the hint of fluke that he had originally harbored that Lu Xuan might rent it instantly vanished.
“Sixty spirit stones ……”
Lu Xuan pondered briefly.
“Then let it be!”
“Fellow Daoist, if you feel that sixty spirit stones a month is too expensive, you can still go and take a look at one of the nearby courtyards.”
The slightly chubby young cultivator wore a smile and replied formulaically.
“Ah ……?”
He suddenly realized something and looked up at Lu Xuan, his eyes half expectant, half skeptical.
Lu Xuan seemed to smile and nodded.
“Many thanks, fellow Daoist! I’ll take care of everything for you, Fellow Daoist!!!”
Toothbound.
The scarred cultivator was lying on a wooden chair, gently rocking back and forth, seeing that he was in an extremely good mood.
Just now, he had successfully closed a deal, renting out a small courtyard with seven spirit stones per month, scoring a hefty draw.
The slightly chubby youth stormed in.
“Back here? That loose cultivator didn’t let you show him a few more spirit fields?”
He looked at the slightly chubby young cultivator who rushed towards the counter, a hint of mockery hidden in his tone.
“No, just looked at one piece.”
The slightly chubby young cultivator didn’t even lift his head and smoothly replied.
“Then he’s still a bit conscientious and didn’t waste too much of your time.”
“Yes, Fellow Daoist Lu is really too good to be true, looking at a piece of spirit field and quickly booking it, the deposit was paid.”
“Hmm?”
The scarred cultivator thought that he had heard something wrong, and the gently rocking wooden chair directly stopped.
The slightly chubby young cultivator raised his head and revealed a naive smile.
“The one with sixty spirit stones a month.”
With a clang, the wooden chair lost control and fell to the ground.
