As a lord, I was forced to farm

As a result, the price of Ganoderma lucidum in the county is now extremely low.

The price has been reduced from 20 crystals per flower to 10 crystals per flower.

Originally, ice-type was a relatively rare mutated attribute, making it even more difficult to grow. However, in Da Su, due to the high yield of ice spirit mushrooms, ice-type cultivators were "fed" to become "strong"!

According to the latest statistics from the Ministry of Revenue.

In 2026, the number of new cultivators reached a new high. The number of cultivators in the Spirit Refining Realm in the county city was like bamboo shoots after a rain, which was truly unbelievable!
Of the 320,000 people in Dasu, there are 29,000 cultivators, of whom only 3,700 are ice-type cultivators. However, there are more than 2,400 ice-type cultivators above the Spirit Gathering Realm and more than 74 ice-type cultivators above the Spirit Refining Realm.

You should know that there are only 373 cultivators at or above the Spirit Refining Realm in the county!

Moreover, the Ministry of Revenue suspects that there are some people who like to play dumb and may not care about the subsidies given to cultivators by the prefecture, so they choose to hide their cultivation level.

“We fire-elemental cultivators are just as good,” Jiang Xiaowen said with a smile.

back to the front.

Today, Da Su is no longer satisfied with cultivating ice Ganoderma lucidum for ten years, but has the ambition to cultivate ice Ganoderma lucidum for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Of course, a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is extremely precious, and even with the presence of spirits and spiritual fields, it still takes several years to mature.

Therefore, the Ganoderma lucidum growing on those glacial soils, even if less than a hundred years old, is still harvestable.

"Gummy~~" The Ice Spirit Mushroom Fairy proudly raised its head, took Jiang Ran's hand, and gestured for her to follow it.

On the original glacial moraine spiritual field, there were about a hundred ice Ganoderma lucidum growing. Unlike the ice Ganoderma lucidum on other spiritual fields, the Ganoderma lucidum on this land was significantly larger, darker in color, and emitted a strong medicinal fragrance.

The Ice Spirit Fairy wanted Jiang Ran to look at the one in the very center of the spirit field. That little fairy had put the most effort into it, and it was estimated to be over four hundred years old.

The Ice Spirit Mushroom Fairy raised her head high, calling out demurely, "Gummy~~" You can only see it once, but you're not allowed to pick it!
"Gurgle~~" Hmph, I'm much stronger than Yunze's Mother Mulberry spirit now, remember to go and mock it for me~~
……

Time flies, and after seeing the Ice Spirit Sea, Jiang Xiaowen returned to the Purple Cloud Sect.

Jiang Nancheng continued his life of frequently traveling between the Lingyuan and Dasu.

The wind and snow have temporarily subsided. Although the snow has not yet melted, today is a rare warm winter day. The sun rises slowly from the east, reflecting a faint shimmer on the snow.

Jiang Ran sat cross-legged on the bed.

Bai Mei and Mo Sheng were fast asleep in their respective warm nests in the corners of the room, their regular, soft snores filling the air.

Opposite Jiang Ran, Fei Xuan's wings fluttered slightly, and a refreshing breeze lifted her hair.

“Master,” Fei Xuan’s voice came, “we will definitely be able to enter the initial stage of the mortal realm.”

As they spoke, a person and a butterfly were surrounded by seven-colored spiritual energy, with strands of spiritual energy connecting the two.

Jiang Ran's mind stirred, and she quickly sensed Fei Xuan's presence in her mind. More than four months had passed since she and Fei Xuan formed their contract.

Fei Xuan has a great personality, and Jiang Ran cherishes this companion very much. Four months is enough time for the two of them to form a deep bond.

With the experience gained from the previous two attempts, Jiang Ran led Fei Xuan to the initial stage of the mortal realm in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, Fei Xuan's aura intensified, and she did not stop outputting mental and spiritual power despite entering the initial fusion realm. Jiang Ran and Fei Xuan's spiritual power continued to entangle.

In the vast, empty sea of ​​spirits, a particle of light suddenly appeared, followed by countless clusters of light surging up.

As spiritual power and energy gradually accumulated, Fei Xuan's spiritual nest began to take shape.

It was a three-colored flower, with layers of petals resembling a skirt sculpted by moonlight, and a bud with golden threads peeking out from its heart.

Inside, Fei Xuan's figure suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, it appeared in the tricolor flower, comfortably stretched its wings, and buried its entire body in it. The flower nest immediately closed its petals, enveloping the pink and blue butterfly in the middle.

Jiang Ran sensed the three nests in the spiritual sky that existed together but had different styles and did not disturb each other, and slowly opened her eyes.

……

In Nangang Town.

This city, newly built from the wilderness and swamp, is unexpectedly vibrant.

The winter snow did not stop people's activities. On the smooth and clean streets, stalls lined up like a long dragon, with steaming hot food and a mingled aroma that carried far and wide.

In the town, many people dressed in different styles walked into the town from outside the twilight swamp.

These people were clearly not locals of Osaka, but rather adventurers or merchants from outside.

"Remember, outsiders are only allowed to stay in Nangang Town. If they trespass into other places, our Great Su has the right to kill the intruders on the spot."

"In my Great City, you must abide by its laws. Fighting and brawling are forbidden. If any illegal acts such as fraud, theft, robbery, or murder are discovered, we have the right to detain you and imprison you in the dungeon..."

Outside the city gate, the soldiers of the Great Garrison questioned and checked each outsider to make sure they hadn't brought in any ferocious monsters or strange items that might endanger the city's safety. After collecting a small entrance fee of five silver dollars, they let them in.

"Sister, the city gate fee charged by Da Su is quite low. I remember that the city gate fee in Tianchen County has now risen to five spirit crystals, and the city gate fee in Chaolian County is three gold coins."

A pretty woman tossed the silver coin in her hand and said in surprise, "And that city gate guard is really stubborn. I just handed him a gold coin and told him not to keep the change and to keep the rest as his own hard work fee, but he insisted on giving me change. I really don't know what he was thinking."

"What kind of rigid thinking is this? They're not businessmen, but guards protecting the city gates. Naturally, they have to be strict with themselves. It's more like those guards in Tianchen County and Chaolian County who only care about money aren't proper guards." Another person in the group rolled their eyes at the pretty woman. "Sister Ren, I think this Dasu is unusual, not like what the outside world says."

The group consisted entirely of women, each dressed differently, but all wore a blue scarf tied around their right arm.

"I wonder how safe Dasu is. Miaohan and the others also want to come into the city to play. If it's safe, let's send a message to everyone to come and have some fun."

"I've heard that the Prince of Dasu is also a woman..."

"The scenery over there is so beautiful..."

Looking eastward, everyone saw the sea and sky meet in the distance, with a thin line of gray-white in the sky. Several seabirds flew up and down, and as the birds flew, everyone's gaze was drawn to the sky. A huge floating island was hidden in the clouds, vaguely resembling a fairyland isolated from the world.

"This is the legendary Lingze Islands of Da Su..."

"To see such a view, this trip was definitely worthwhile." Ren Zi narrowed her eyes, her anticipation for what she would see at the Grand Lodge growing stronger. (End of Chapter)
