As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 788 Ohara Provincial Capital
The walls of Green Cave City were built very majestically, and the city walls shone brightly under the sunlight.

The city wall was over ten zhang high, and was made entirely of special, thick black stone bricks. Some soldiers, fully equipped with helmets and bows, were stationed on the wall. At intervals, there were also some giant ballistae on the wall. The ballistae gleamed with a dangerous aura and were extremely threatening magic crossbows.

The city walls of Dayuan were built very well, not only to defend against the army of Dashu, but also to defend against the monster tides from the outer regions, especially those from the land of Hanyuan.

Rabbit Stone and the others looked up at the magnificent city and were slightly awestruck for a moment.

"Get out of the carriage and check!" The Green Cave City guards knocked hard on Rabbit Stone's carriage. Everyone came to their senses. Rabbit Stone swallowed a Transformation Pill and calmly got out of the carriage.

The guard's gaze lingered on the hooded cloaks above their heads for a moment before he shouted, "Take off your hoods!"

Rabbit Stone's throat moved slightly as he removed the cloak, revealing black hair and black eyes.

The guards focused on the men's hair color, skin tone, and pores, then questioned them, "Where are you from? What are you doing in the city?"

Rabbit Stone said, "I come from the Land of Clouds of Sorrow. It is said that there is an insect infestation in Dayuan. I brought the most effective insect repellent from my hometown to relieve Dayuan of this problem."

The guards looked Rabbit Stone and his companions up and down. Seeing that they were so young and unfamiliar, they didn't have any hope for the potion they had brought.

This year's pest infestation is severe. The locusts that devour spirits have invaded and are extremely resistant to common insecticides. However, if the toxicity of the pesticide is increased, even if the crops in the fields are not killed, they will inevitably be contaminated with strong toxins. If people eat them, they will also be poisoned. Therefore, even though many caravans come to Ohara to sell insecticides, they still cannot solve Ohara's predicament.

So the guard's expression remained unchanged. "We mustn't cause any trouble in the city. Go inside."

Rabbit Stone and his companions didn't linger after entering the city. After gathering good news, they went directly to the Green Cave Pest Control Shop in Green Cave City, where they were looking to purchase insect repellent to deal with the pest infestation.

Unsurprisingly, they saw the group of people who had bumped into their carriage.

They were dressed in fine clothes and led spirit horses. Coincidentally, they also came from the land of Clouds Grief and were a caravan from the capital of Da Ce Province.

Rabbit Stone was surprised. The capital of Da Ce Province was the famous territory that monopolized the Wind Spirit Horse. It was located in the western part of the Cloud Sorrow Land. They had actually come to Da Yuan. No wonder they were so arrogant all the way, randomly bumping into other people's carriages.

Zhuang Hao, the president of the Da Ce Merchant Caravan, was slightly overweight and tall, dressed in a dark green gown. The Green Motion Pest Control Company treated them with great respect, surrounding them like stars around the moon, with even the vice president personally receiving them.

"Chairman Zhuang's arrival truly honors my Green Motion Pest Control Firm." The vice president smiled and personally poured a cup of tea for him. "May I ask how much pest control powder Chairman Zhuang brought on this trip?"

Compared to the Da Ce caravan, Rabbit Stone and his group were treated rather poorly, and no one paid them any attention.

People were coming and going in the hall. Rabbit Stone was quick-witted and grabbed a servant of Green Cave Merchant Guild. "Hey, sir, we have brought some very effective insect repellent pills. Would you like to take a look?"

The servant looked them up and down, noticing their youthful faces and the small number of them, clearly indicating a makeshift operation. He couldn't help but show some impatience. "I'm sorry, a lot of large merchant guilds have come at once. We're too busy right now and don't have time to look at your insect repellent pills. Why don't you sit over there and wait?"

The servant pointed to a cold, hard stool, then pulled away from Tu Shi's hand, a fawning smile spreading across his face, and greeted several large merchant guilds who had arrived after Tu Shi. Tu Shi and Li Qinqing exchanged a glance and both frowned.

"Never mind, let's wait and see."

They sat there from noon until evening, until Green Cave Pest Control Shop was about to close. Rabbit Stone hurriedly went up to ask, but the servant waved his hand dismissively, "We're closing today. Why don't you come back tomorrow?"

Even the most good-tempered person can't stand being played like this. Rabbit Stone's eyebrows shot up, and even his Transformation Pill couldn't hide the redness in his eyes caused by anger. He gritted his teeth and asked in a hoarse voice, "Tomorrow? We've been sitting here all afternoon, and you've already received the merchants who arrived later than us. We haven't even had a glass of water, and you've made us sit on the sidelines all afternoon?!"

"What's all the noise about?" The deputy director of Green Hole frowned upon seeing this scene, waved his chubby hand, and said to the thugs behind him, "Get the troublemakers out of here."

"Bang!!"

The door of the Green Cave Pest Control Guild slammed shut, and Rabbit Stone and the others were shoved and thrown out. If it weren't for their cultivation level, it wouldn't have been as simple as just shoving them.

"This is outrageous!" One of the guards in the group punched the wall.

Rabbit Stone's chest heaved violently, but he quickly calmed down. "It seems that this Green Cave Chamber of Commerce is not a business. They are all in cahoots and just try to curry favor with the big chambers of commerce. Even if we come back tomorrow or the day after, we'll probably just be sitting on the sidelines."

It was truly a case of dying before even getting started. Da Su's insect-repelling herb pills hadn't even been brought out when they were turned away, and the group fell into silence.

As it grew late, the group first found an inn and inquired about other insecticides along the way.

After having eaten their fill, in the enclosed environment of the inn, with only their own people around, Rabbit Stone regained his rabbit ears, silver hair, and red eyes. He pointed to his ears and said to Li Qinqing, "At the Green Cave Insect Extermination Shop, I heard the price of the Great Strategy Insect Extermination Powder. It was actually two spirit crystals a pack. Do you remember the price of the potion we found out on the way?"

Although the business between Green Cave Trading Company and Da Ce Caravan was discussed in a private room, Rabbit Stone's keen ears still caught on.

"The insecticide powder sold from Da Ce provincial capital to Da Yuan costs two spirit crystals per pack?" Li Qinqing asked in surprise. "But in the market, Da Ce insecticide powder costs ten spirit crystals per pack."

"No wonder the vice presidents of those Green Cave Trading Company are so eager to curry favor with Da Ce's caravan; the profits are simply outrageous!"

"The main product of the Daisaku is the pesticide supplied to the sacred fields in Ohara, which is our main competitor."

The reason why the Leiguang insect infestation is so severe this time is mainly due to the Spirit-Eating Locusts that flew in from Hanyuan. These are a kind of demonic insect that specifically feeds on spiritual plants.

The Great Strategy Insect-Eliminating Powder was mainly developed to eliminate the Spirit-Eating Locusts. It is the most effective medicine powder for killing the Spirit-Eating Locusts that has been tested in the Great Plains.

Of course, there are also significant side effects. Spiritual plants that have been treated with the Great Strategy Insect-Exterminating Powder have a slight toxicity and cannot be directly consumed by cultivators. The harvested immortal herbs must be soaked in the Great Strategy's antidote.

This provincial capital of Daze made two fortunes directly in the Leiguang area.
