Chapter 18 – Threats.
Chapter 18 – Threats (Please read)
“Senior Brother Lu, what do you think of this spiritual field?”
In the spacious courtyard, Lu Xuan walked slowly, carefully observing the surroundings.
A young cultivator of the first level of Qi Practicing with a scar on his face followed behind him step by step.
The youth bent slightly and squeezed out a very warm smile.
“The owner of this courtyard used to be a Qi Practicing Middle Stage Cultivator, he went out to explore sometime and didn’t come back for a long time, it was mortgaged by his descendants, so we, the Dental Firm, took it for rent.”
“This spiritual field in front of us is nearly one acre, the spiritual qi is rich, the courtyard is located next to the scattered cultivator bazaar, there are guards patrolling in the marketplace, the security can also be greatly guaranteed.”
“There’s also that chicken coop in front of it, painted by the previous owner with a few runes for dust clearing, stabilizing, and soundproofing, making it suitable for raising some spirit beasts and birds or something.”
“Not bad indeed, it’s just that I still need to think about it.”
Lu Xuan said blandly.
In the past few days, he had taken out his spare time to look at a few spirit fields through the Toothman.
These spiritual fields were more than several times ten times the size of his current spiritual fields, and the spiritual qi was much denser, with all sorts of conveniences.
Among them, there was also a courtyard that not only had a spiritual field area of more than an acre, but actually had a spiritual spring inside!
This couldn’t help but make Lu Xuan’s heart skip a beat, but after inquiring about the rent, he was quickly snapped back to reality.
Of the several spirit fields looked at, even the cheapest one, the rent was forty spirit stones a month, and the one with the spirit spring even cost sixty spirit stones a month, and the rent paid was not less than half a year at a time.
Lu Xuan had been poor for a long time and had become rich, and his wealth was already nearly three hundred spirit stones, so he could not help but be a little inflated in his heart.
But now he realized, this point of spirit stone in the real need is not enough, still have to accumulate a period of time.
Lu Xuan thought of this, turned his head to the scarred tooth man and said.
“I’ll go back and think about it first, if I have the intention, I’ll come back to you.”
Saying that, he turned around and left.
When Lu Xuan’s figure was far away, the Scarred Toothman couldn’t help but spit.
“What the hell? A small loose cultivator at the second level of Qi Practicing still wants to rent this kind of spiritual field, delusional!”
“Wasting my time!”
Lu Xuan frowned slightly, his cultivation had broken through to the third level of Qi cultivation for some time now, his five senses were much sharper than before, and he vaguely heard the words of the scarred young cultivator.
Then he kindly smiled, not thinking about the Toothman’s attitude of being respectful before and arrogant after, only quietly pulling him into his blacklist and never going to look for him to look at the Spirit Fields again.
“Ai, in the past, I always felt too poor to feed a Grass Puppet a crushed spirit.”
“Now the body is nearly three hundred spirit stones, to the grass puppet can feed one, throw …… no, feed two can.”
“But how do you feel that you are really too poor?”
Such a thought arose in his mind.
“Still have to work hard to earn spirit stones.”
Zhang Hong rested for a few days before traveling to the Wilderness Mystic Realm again, and Zhang Xiuyuan had already entered into work in the past few days.
The two continued to work together, with Zhang Xiuyuan finding eligible loose cultivators who had suffered from pest infestations, and Lu Xuan then stepping in to resolve the infestations.
After using it more often, he naturally had a deeper understanding of the Gungjin Sword Technique, and with the clean and inexpensive removal of insects, he had gained a certain reputation amongst the scattered cultivators in the Northern District.
Previously, Zhang Xiuyuan had to take the initiative to look for customers, but now they come to the door on their own, and when there are a lot of people, they have to queue up a little.
On this day, Lu Xuan received five spirit stones and walked out of a dilapidated courtyard under the escort of a constantly grateful loose cultivator.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, what a coincidence to run into you here.”
A gentle voice resounded in his ears. Lu Xuan sniffed and looked over, only to see a fat white cultivator standing at the corner, smilingly looking at Lu Xuan and the two of them.
“Coincidence my ass, the Northern District is so big, where would you happen to run into each other right here, you’re obviously waiting for me!”
Lu Xuan slurred and smiled back.
“So it’s Fellow Daoist Qin, I haven’t seen you for a long time, your cultivation has become even deeper, it’s really a model for my generation of loose cultivators.”
“I don’t dare to be worthy of it, but it is fellow Daoist Lu who has made me quite surprised, I didn’t expect that the Qi Practicing Second Layer loose cultivator who needed to invite me to help get rid of the insect pests a few months ago has now grown to the point where he can easily solve the insect pests on his own.”
Qin Ming sighed, he indeed did not expect that the small Qi Practicing loose cultivator that he used to completely disregard would one day become his own competitor with a handful of exquisite sword skills.
“It’s just a fluke, it’s still far from being compared to Senior Brother Qin you.”
A trace of remembrance passed through Lu Xuan’s eyes.
“It all had to start with that insect infestation, since then, in order to avoid the spirit plants in my spirit field from suffering from insect infestation again, I made a painful determination to use my entire fortune to purchase a sword skill.”
“After a few months of bitter cultivation, coupled with perhaps having that slightest bit of talent in the path of the Sword Dao, I was able to achieve what I have today.”
“However, due to my low cultivation level, I can only use the sword skill two or three times a day, which has also led to the fact that I can only earn such a meager amount of spirit stones now.”
Due to having a conflict of interest, Lu Xuan had long anticipated the scene of meeting up with other cultivators who were solving pests, especially the one in front of him, Qin Ming, who was at the fourth level of Qi Practicing, and was considered to be the one with the most business in the Northern District.
He narrated his long-prepared answer and made it clear that his cultivation level was low, and he was only there to earn some spirit stones for writer’s use, and he couldn’t steal much of Qin Ming’s business.
“I see.”
Qin Ming nodded slightly.
“However, now that Fellow Daoist Lu is still young, he should focus on cultivation, it is better to get less involved in the pest problem.”
Qin Ming smiled and looked straight at Lu Xuan, half admonishing and half threatening.
“Thanks for reminding me, Fellow Daoist Qin, I know what to do in my heart.”
Lu Xuan faintly replied back, tugging Zhang Xiu away.
During the walk, he kept feeling a line of sight faintly falling on his back.
“There are a large number of loose cultivators in the Northern District, and what do you mean by threatening me when I made it clear that I only earn a little bit of spirit stones?”
He thought indignantly in his mind, he had already shown weakness and Qin Ming was still pursuing him like this, making him not help but have a fire.
Suddenly, his footsteps paused, and an idea appeared in his mind.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt bad, Lu Xuan simply stopped his steps and pulled Zhang Xiuyuan next to him.
“Little Yuan, Uncle Little Lu has something he needs your help with.”
“You go to the home of your partner who is close and has suffered from an insect infestation and ask around to see if his family has invited a fat white middle-ranked Qi Practicing Cultivator who specializes in Ice Techniques.”
“If so, ask specifically how he dealt with the black budworm larvae after solving the pest infestation?”
“You’re young, others won’t guard you and will tell you the details. I’ll be guarding outside, you don’t have to worry about safety.”
Seeing Lu Xuan’s serious look, Zhang Xiuyuan, who had grown up understanding the seriousness of the situation, pursed his lips and nodded vigorously.
The two of them arrived in front of a family of loose cultivators that Zhang Xiuyuan had mentioned, Zhang Xiuyuan shouted outside the courtyard, and at the invitation of a teenager of the same age, he entered the courtyard.
Lu Xuan clasped a few talismans in his hands and quietly waited for him to come out.
It’s about recommendations, so please make sure to catch up on today’s updates ah! Please!
