Chapter 18 Threat (please follow up)
“Senior Brother Lu, what do you think of this spiritual field?”
In the spacious courtyard, Lu Xuan walked slowly and carefully observed the surrounding situation.
A young monk with a level of Qi training and a scar on his face followed him step by step.
The young man bent slightly and forced out a very enthusiastic smile.
“The owner of this courtyard was once a mid-level qi-training monk. He went out to explore for a while and did not come back for a long time. His descendants mortgaged it, so we Yaxing rented it out.”
“The spiritual field in front of us is nearly an acre, and it is rich in spiritual energy. The courtyard is located next to the casual cultivator market. It is patrolled by city guards, so the safety can be greatly guaranteed.”
“And the chicken coop in front was painted with the runes of cleanness, stability, and sound insulation by the previous owner. It is suitable for raising spiritual beasts and birds.”
“It’s really good, but I still need to think about it.”
Lu Xuan said calmly.
In the past few days, he took some free time and visited several spiritual fields through Yaren.
The area of these spiritual fields is several times or ten times that of his current spiritual fields, the spiritual energy is much richer, and they also have various conveniences.
There is also a courtyard in it. Not only does the spiritual field cover an area of more than an acre, there is also a spiritual spring in it! This made Lu Xuan very excited, but after asking about the rent, he was quickly brought back to reality.
Among the several spiritual fields I looked at, even the cheapest one had a rent of forty spiritual stones a month. The one with a spiritual spring even cost sixty spiritual stones a month, and the rent paid was no less than half a year at a time.
Lu Xuan has been poor and rich for a long time recently, and his net worth is nearly three hundred spirit stones, which makes him feel a little inflated.
But now I realize that this amount of spiritual stones is not enough when you really need them, and it will take some time to accumulate them.
Lu Xuan thought of this, turned around and said to Scar Tooth Man.
“I’ll go back and think about it first. If I have any intention, I’ll come to you again.”
After that, he turned around and left.
When Lu Xuan’s figure disappeared, the scarred tooth man couldn’t help but spit.
“What the hell? A young casual cultivator on the second level of qi training still wants to rent this kind of spiritual field. What a wishful thinking!”
“Waste of my time!”
Lu Xuan frowned slightly. It had been some time since his cultivation reached the third level of Qi training. His five senses were much sharper than before. He vaguely heard the words of the scarred young monk.
Then he smiled and didn’t care about Yaren’s respectful and arrogant attitude. He just quietly put him on the blacklist and never went to see him again.
“Hey, I always felt so poor that I couldn’t even bear to feed the straw puppet a broken spirit.”
“Now that I have a net worth of nearly three hundred spirit stones, I can feed one to any grass puppet. If I throw away… no, I can feed two.”
“But why do you feel that you are so poor?”
Such an idea came into his mind.
“You still have to work hard to earn spiritual stones.”
After Zhang Hong rested for a few days, he went to the wilderness secret realm again. Zhang Xiuyuan had already entered working mode these days.
The two continued to cooperate. Zhang Xiuyuan found qualified casual cultivators who encountered pests, and Lu Xuan took action to deal with the pests.
The more times he used it, the more he understood the Gengjin Sword Technique. In addition, it was clean and easy to remove insects at a low price, and he also gained a certain reputation among casual cultivators in the North District.
Previously, Zhang Xiuyuan had to take the initiative to find customers, but now they all come to the door themselves, and they have to wait in line when there are many people.
On this day, Lu Xuan accepted five spiritual stones and walked out of a dilapidated courtyard under the care of an endlessly grateful casual cultivator.
“Friend Daoist Lu, what a coincidence, I met you here.”
A gentle voice sounded in his ears.
“What a coincidence. The North District is so big. How could we happen to meet here? They are obviously waiting for me!”
Lu Xuan cursed and replied with a smile.
“It turns out to be fellow Taoist Qin. I haven’t seen you for a long time. My Taoist cultivation has become even more profound. He is indeed a role model for our generation of casual cultivators.”
“I don’t want to take it seriously, but Fellow Daoist Lu surprised me. I didn’t expect that the second-level qi-training casual cultivator who asked me to help get rid of the pests a few months ago has now grown up to the point where he can easily deal with the pests by himself.”
Qin Ming sighed, he really didn’t expect that the little Qi practitioner who he didn’t look down on before would one day become his competitor with his superb sword skills.
“It’s just a fluke. It’s still far behind Senior Brother Qin.”
There was a hint of reminiscence in Lu Xuan’s eyes.
“Everything started with that insect infestation. Since then, in order to prevent the spiritual plants in the spiritual field from being infested by insect pests again, I made up my mind to use all my wealth to purchase a sword art.”
“After months of hard training, and maybe a little bit of talent in the way of swordsmanship, I have achieved today’s achievements.”
“However, due to my low cultivation level, I can only use sword techniques two or three times a day, which means I can only earn a small amount of spiritual stones now.”
Due to the conflict of interest, Lu Xuan had already anticipated the scene of meeting other monks who were dealing with pests, especially Qin Ming, who was at the fourth level of Qi training in front of him and had the most business in the North District.
He eloquently told the answer he had prepared and stated that his cultivation was low and he only wanted to earn some spiritual stones for home use and could not steal much of Qin Ming’s business.
“I see.”
Qin Ming nodded slightly.
“However, fellow Taoist Lu is still young now. He should focus on cultivation and avoid getting involved with pest problems.”
Qin Ming looked directly at Lu Xuan with a smile, half advising and half threatening.
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qin, for reminding me. I know exactly what to do.”
Lu Xuan replied lightly and pulled Zhang Xiuyuan away.
While walking, he kept feeling a line of sight falling faintly on his back.
“There are a lot of casual cultivators in the North District. What do you mean by threatening me when I show that I only earn a few spiritual stones?”
He thought angrily in his heart that he had already shown weakness and Qin Ming was still chasing after him so fiercely, which made him angry.
Suddenly, he paused, and an idea appeared in his mind.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Lu Xuan simply stopped and grabbed Zhang Xiuyuan next to him.
“Xiao Yuan, Uncle Lu needs your help with something.”
“Go to the home of your friend who is close to you and is infested with insects and ask if he has invited a fat, white, mid-level Qi practitioner who is good at ice spells.”
“If yes, ask him specifically how he dealt with the black budworm larvae after solving the pest infestation?”
“You are young, others will not be wary of you and will tell you detailed information. I will guard outside, so you don’t have to worry about safety issues.”
Zhang Xiuyuan and Lu Xuan looked serious. He had been sensible since he was young and knew the seriousness of the situation. He pursed his lips and nodded vigorously.
The two came to a household of casual cultivators that Zhang Xiuyuan mentioned. Zhang Xiuyuan shouted outside the courtyard and entered the courtyard at the invitation of a young man of the same age.
Lu Xuan held a few talismans in his hands and waited quietly for him to come out.
It’s about recommendations. Please be sure to read today’s update! Please!
