Chapter 58: The Visitors
Chapter 58: Visitors
Xu Chuniang frowned slightly, these people treat being a squire as getting into the inner gate as the only way out, do they think everyone is the same as them.
Instead, she admired that dead senior brother, at least he died on the path of true cultivation.
Summer insects can’t talk about ice, bird and bird can talk about swan. She was too lazy to bother with these people in general.
Xu Chuniang spoke faintly, “Supervisor Zhang, if you don’t take my token, could it be that now, there is no longer a need for us to pay gang tribute to the sect?”
Zhang Donglai’s face twitched, what a sharp-tongued ugly girl!
He took the token and said sorrowfully, “I would like to see how much you have lost this year!”
Xu Chuniang had never taken any gang tribute quests from his side, and he naturally guessed that she had gone to take commissions.
However, commissions are not easy to do, even those old disciples, occasionally there will be times when they miss the mark.
This ugly girl did not know the importance of running to receive a commission, five years down the line, it would be strange if she did not lose her money!
Zhang Donglai took the token and operated it, when he saw the number on it, the smile on his face froze, thirty points of tribute, how could it be so much?
He opened his eyes wide, trying to find the word “negative” in front of him, but after half a day of searching, he couldn’t find it.
He only watched, after deducting the tribute paid in this year, the eye-catching “30” suddenly turned into “18”.
This ugly girl has really completed the commissioned task!
Zhang Donglai slammed the token onto the table, “Very well, I would like to see if you still have such good luck next year!”
Xu Chuniang smiled brightly, Zhang Donglai’s words rarely pleased her.
So he called strength luck?
Sorry to say, but I’m afraid that her luck, will continue to be good.
Sooner or later, he would realize that she, Xu Chuniang, didn’t have to attach herself to pleasing him in order to successfully earn gang tribute.
She didn’t have to be the squire and vassal of any one person to be able to step into the Inner Sect with her head held high.
After paying twelve points of tribute, there were only eighteen points of tribute left, and Xu Chuniang decided not to use them for the time being.
With Spirit Rice in hand, she had nothing to use Spirit Stones for the time being.
When she really needed to use Spirit Stones, she would just give up some Spirit Rice.
In addition to the large amount of crescent moon rice in her hand, she still had ninety pounds of ordinary spirit rice left, which she was not in a hurry to eat, and in case she needed to use spirit stones urgently, she could also get rid of them at any time.
Xu Chuniang returned to Spirit Plant Peak and walked towards her family’s number 172 spirit field.
The spiritual field she chose was very remote, there was only one spiritual field in that area, and there was usually no one on this road at all.
But today, Xu Chuniang didn’t walk for long, but she realized that there were quite a few people in front of her, going in the direction of her own spiritual field.
She was a little curious about what these people wanted to do, and narrowed her figure to follow them from afar.
Seeing that those people had gone to the vicinity of the 172 spiritual fields, in order to avoid exposing her whereabouts, Xu Chuniang did not go any further, but stopped at a place farther away.
They rushed across the formation and surveyed the spirit field endlessly.
“Just by standing outside and looking, I can’t tell what’s so special about this spirit field. We still have to go in and check it out to find out.”
“What if that Xu Chuniang doesn’t let us in?”
“We’re all Spirit Planters from the same mountain, we’ve come to visit in name only, if she doesn’t let us in, it’s too much to ask. Don’t you guys want to know what secrets her spirit field has?”
“Alright, let’s wait here until the person returns. Anyway, I do think that it’s impossible for her, a novice, to be proficient in the art of spirit planting. The problem lies 100% in the spirit field.”
“That’s right, we’ll have to check it out properly after we go in later.”
After they finished deliberating, they stood in place and waited.
Xu Chuniang raised her eyebrows slightly, these people actually thought that she had only gained something by virtue of her spiritual fields, and they were also presumptuous enough to think that they could go in and check out her spiritual fields in the name of paying a visit.
I’m afraid that their intentions would come to naught.
Xu Chuniang didn’t hide her figure anymore, getting up and walking towards the spirit field. Someone soon spotted her figure.
“That female cultivator has returned.”
Someone whispered, and instantly everyone looked towards Xu Chuniang, smiles on their faces as they bowed in unison.
One of them, moreover, directly stepped forward and said, “Good day, Senior Sister Xu! We’ve admired senior sister’s spirit planting technique for a long time, and taking advantage of today’s free time, we’ve specially come to pay senior sister a visit.”
The corners of Xu Chuniang’s mouth rose slightly, it was true that if one was attentive to nothing, one was either a traitor or a thief.
But regrettably, she was alone here, planting her fields well, and didn’t want anyone to disturb her.
Xu Chuniang crossed over to the crowd as if she were oblivious, using a formation talisman to open the formation before stepping in and then quickly closing the formation.
After entering the formation, she directly controlled the formation talisman and turned on the shielding mode of the formation, making it impossible for those outside the formation to pry into it in the slightest.
Xu Chuniang’s series of operations could be described as a smooth flow, and when the crowd reacted, all the areas wrapped by the formation were covered in a layer of white mist, and nothing could be seen.
They looked at each other for a long time before someone opened their mouths in disbelief.
“She actually ignored us and went straight in? And openly turned on the shielding mode to stop our sight?”
“This woman …… is too arrogant, isn’t she, to the extent that she doesn’t put us in her eyes in the slightest. So many of us came to visit her and actually turned us away!”
“It’s too much, even if it was Senior Brother Zhang, he would have explained with us in kind words and would never be so rude!”
“Isn’t she afraid that we’ll offend everyone when we go back and tell them what happened?”
The crowd was furious, not realizing that so many of them had traveled in vain.
However, no matter how much they complained, there was no more movement coming from inside the formation, it was obvious that the owner of the spiritual field was simply unwilling to deal with them.
There was no point in standing there any longer, they had no other choice, and one by one, they left with ugly faces.
After sensing that the people outside had left, Xu Chuniang did not cancel the shielding mode of the formation.
Anyway, this white mist, which only worked on the people outside the formation and didn’t affect anything, was just enough to cover the Lunar Crescent Rice she had planted.
Speaking of which, it was also Xu Chuniang’s carelessness, before, she never thought to use the formation to cover up the spirit rice.
If someone saw the crescent moon rice, if they wanted to hide it, they wouldn’t be able to.
But from now on, she wouldn’t make such an oversight. The arrival of these people was sort of a reminder to her!
Xu Chuniang took out a handful of Improved Crescent Rice and looked towards the Spirit Field.
This time, in addition to planting ordinary spirit rice, the remaining half of the spirit field would be planted with these seeds!
A busy and fulfilling life began again.
Due to the newly planted Improved Crescent Moon Rice, which required more Spiritual Qi to grow, the number of times Xu Chuniang casted the Moistening Earth Technique each week was increased to three times.
On top of that, she would also regularly water it with Spirit Dew to ensure the normal growth of the Moon Crescent Rice.
As for the ordinary spirit rice, it was business as usual.
The plan to cultivate spirit rice on a small scale was still ongoing.
This time, however, Xu Chuniang wasn’t sure if it would succeed.
After all, from ordinary spirit rice, to crescent moon rice with a plummeting yield, to crescent moon rice with a yield that was the same as spirit rice, these spirit rice, almost counted as an advancement.
But there wouldn’t be any repercussions if it failed anyway, so let’s give it a try.
Thank you for the monthly ticket support of Dao Friends linxinyu88, Sakura Rainfall, 2017111907182604, and there will be three more tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!
