Chapter 53 – Paying for the Spirit Rice – Tomorrow’s Shelf Requests First Booking

Soon, Xu Chuniang collected a whole gourd of spirit rice.

After she retrieved the spirit vessel and poured the spirit rice inside into a cloth bag, she estimated the weight of the bag of spirit rice to be about two hundred pounds.

Xu Chuniang placed this large bag full of spiritual rice into her storage bag and continued to collect the spiritual rice.

It took a full four bags to finish collecting the spiritual rice on the ground.

Only those spirit rice that were obviously bigger after her fine cultivation were left to be collected.

Xu Chuniang took a small bag and used it exclusively to contain these larger spiritual rice, she estimated that with thirty-six spiritual rice, she had only obtained about ten pounds of spiritual rice.

Not counting these large spiritual rice, her harvest was very impressive, reaching as much as eight hundred pounds.

With this harvest alone, she would be able to pay off the spirit stones that the sect needed for a year.

With half a year left, she could completely plant it again.

By then, all the harvest could be hers, even if she sold it to the sect at cost, eight hundred pounds of spirit rice would be worth four hundred spirit stones!

Xu Chuniang’s heart was pounding with excitement. If she could earn four hundred spirit stones a year, that would be two thousand in five years!
And that’s not even counting the large spiritual rice she harvested.

Whoever said that Spirit Planting Husbands don’t make a living is really ridiculous, ridiculous.

Over the past six months, except for the last month when the spirit rice was about to mature, Xu Chuniang spent more time in the spirit field, other times the time spent in the spirit field wasn’t much, but it was just a matter of regularly casting the Spirit Rain Technique and Moistening Soil Technique.

When all was said and done, Xu Chunniang had spent a month and a half on the spiritual fields.

The rest of the time, she used to cultivate.

Under these circumstances, the spiritual fields were able to burst into a bumper crop, the rate of return was simply astonishing.

This was still only Xu Chuniang’s first time planting spirit rice without any experience, when she planted it the next time, she would only become more skillful and faster.

“Since the spirit rice has already been harvested, let’s go ahead and pay it, the four big bags of spirit rice are taking up some space.”

Xu Chuniang thought for a moment, it would be good to go and pay for the spirit rice while it was still not sown.

She walked towards the peak of Spirit Plant Peak, and after an hour, she finally arrived at the top of the mountain.

At this moment, the summit was very lively, with many people lined up here ready to hand in their spiritual rice. It was just that some people had sad faces, while others were smiling.

Xu Chuniang was at the end of the queue, and after many people saw that her cultivation was only at the third level of Qi cultivation, her face became very wonderful.

There were even a few who revealed a look of disdain, “Early stage of qi cultivation, really out of your depth, actually running to plant a spirit field as well!”

However, there were a few sad-faced people who revealed a hint of a pleased smile after seeing Xu Chuniang.

“With this third level Qi Practicing cushion, I shouldn’t be scolded by Steward Sun for a long time.”

Xu Chuniang’s face was expressionless, just pretending that she hadn’t heard anything as she quietly stood in line.

The surrounding people saw that Xu Chuniang didn’t say anything, but they didn’t say much, and one by one, they exchanged words again, talking about the harvest this time.

“Alas, my spirit field is not as good as it was last year, last year’s crop was able to harvest 460 pounds of spirit rice, this year only 430 pounds were harvested, and I didn’t make much money after handing in the spirit rice.”

“Your spiritual field is already considered good, I only harvested 418 pounds and earned even less.”

“You two are deliberately coming to show off, aren’t you, I’ve only harvested 390 pounds, if the next harvest is also bad, they’re all going to deduct my contribution value! Sigh, I really envy you guys.

“What do the two of us have to envy, Senior Brother Zhang’s spirit fields have always been the most productive, I heard that he produced a full 492 pounds this time!”

“492 jin!”

The crowd exclaimed, “It’s only been half a year, and Senior Brother Zhang has earned 46 spirit stones, so in a year, with the contribution value issued by the sect, wouldn’t that be 120 spirit stones?”

The crowd was envious, “Senior Brother Zhang’s income from planting spiritual rice for a year is worth three years of us us planting it.”

“Senior Brother Zhang is at the fifth level of Qi Practicing cultivation, it’s normal to have such a harvest.”

Xu Chuniang listened to the discussion of several people, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, was the yield of spirit rice so small?

Her spirit field had a bumper harvest, producing a full 800 or so pounds. But these planting veterans, the harvest should only be a little more, in the end, where is wrong?

Xu Chuniang pondered.

She had originally thought of handing over all of the year’s spiritual rice in one breath, but now it seems that even if she only handed over half of it, it would be a bit eye-catching.

After all, several old disciples’ harvests were not enough for 400 pounds, and there was no need for her, a newcomer planting for the first time, to cross them.

After thinking about it, Xu Chuniang planned to hand over 385 pounds of spirit rice.

This number was neither too eye-catching nor much worse.

She took out a small bag, and from a cloth bag filled with rice, she distributed some of it.

After estimating that it was about right, Xu Chuniang put away both the large and small bags.

Quite a few people around her were dividing and loading the rice, and her movements weren’t so sudden that no one paid any attention to them at all.

Since it was the spiritual rice that was handed over to the sect, no one dared to falsify it, and Steward Sun only routinely checked it a little before collecting the spiritual rice.

The line flew by, and the number of people in line became smaller and smaller.

After handing over the spiritual rice, most people went down the mountain to return to the spiritual fields, there were also some people who didn’t leave, but stayed behind, wanting to see how other people’s harvests were.

Anyone who had handed over a full amount of spiritual rice, Steward Sun revealed a satisfied and encouraging smile, and after acquiring the excess spiritual rice in their hands, he told them to do a good job in the second half of the year.

On the other hand, those who didn’t hand in enough 400 pounds were met with Steward Sun’s blank stares and reprimands, the bigger the difference the more vicious the scolding.

“Are you a dry eater, so big a spiritual field for you to plant, actually only collected 360 pounds of spiritual rice, it’s simply a waste of the clan’s resources. Of all the people, you’re the one who paid the least!”

The disciple who was scolded didn’t dare to retort, with a bitter face, he also didn’t want to collect only this much spiritual rice ah.

If the second half of the year is still this harvest, the whole year will be in vain.

However, when he looked back and saw Xu Chuniang behind him, who was only at the third level of qi cultivation, his face lightened up a little, who said that he had the worst harvest, but there was still someone at the bottom of the pile for him?

Xu Chunniang walked forward, took out two large rice bags, one of which was filled to the brim, the other a little less.

Steward Sun rolled his eyes when he saw Xu Chunniang, a newcomer with an early stage cultivation level, he didn’t have much to harvest.

However, after seeing the two large bags of rice she took out, he let out a soft eep and took the bags and weighed them.

“385 pounds, to have this kind of harvest on your first planting, not bad, keep up the good work.”

After saying that, Steward Sun registered Xu Chuniang’s token before putting the two large bags of rice into the storage ring between his fingers.

Although Xu Chuniang was also 15 pounds short of spirit rice, considering her low cultivation level and novice planting, Steward Sun did not reprimand her, but instead gave her a rare compliment.

Xu Chuniang nodded, she would continue to work hard!

After all, this white flowery spirit rice is all spirit stones ah.

After Steward Sun encouraged Xu Chuniang, he turned his head and cursed at the disciple from earlier.

“Look at others, just learning to grow spirit rice, the harvest is more than yours, are you ashamed of yourself!”

That disciple was the one who had the lowest harvest and was waiting to see Xu Chuniang’s jokes, but never thought that even Xu Chuniang had collected more spiritual rice than him.

He couldn’t help but feel both ashamed and embarrassed, and scrambled down the mountain.

As soon as the others saw that there was no fun to be had, they all dispersed in a flurry.

Xu Chuniang, however, was worried, she had collected so much spiritual rice, how to get out ah.

She had only just begun planting, and could foresee that the spiritual rice she would harvest in the future would only increase.
