As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 927 The Deer Cry Banquet
Ultimately, strength is the dominant force in this world. No matter how powerful a magical artifact or how effective a pill is, it ultimately exists because cultivators need it. Without strength to hold sway, wealth will only attract wolves.

Lin Sha said, "We will meet force with force and water with earth. Although there are risks involved, the benefits are so great that it is worth our risk."

“In that case, Yang Guiying, this matter will be entrusted to you and Tu Shi, who will work together with Su Hong Academy to coordinate the exchange student program.” Jiang Ran immediately made the decision.

"Yes!"

"Your Highness, there is one more thing." Liu Wenyan, the head steward of Qushui Tower, suddenly stepped forward and handed over a jade slip that was neither gold nor stone, but had a faint moonlight flowing over it. "This is an invitation from the person in charge of the Deer Cry Banquet, inviting Your Highness to attend."

"The Deer Cry Banquet?" Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow slightly.

The Grand Competition of Powers is a stage for major powers to demonstrate their strength and attract geniuses from all walks of life to join. The Deer Cry Banquet was originally a banquet organized by countless disciples from academies or sects who were looking for new paths. Later, it became a large-scale recruitment event, and such banquets are held almost every July in various parts of the Cangmiao Continent.

Numerous territories, sects, and academies also come to the Deer Cry Banquet to recruit talents.

This year, as the host city of the power competition, Mingxiao City, it remains to be seen how grand the Deer Cry Banquet will be.

To the surprise of the Da Su group, the Deer Cry Banquet had no entry requirements. No matter where you came from or what your abilities were, you could participate. Regardless of your power or influence, you could come to recruit talent.

This also shows that the Deer Cry Banquet would not specifically send out invitations to any particular faction or individual!
A few years ago, Lin Sha also went to the Deer Banquet to recruit talent.

However, at that time, many forces deliberately spread rumors that were bad for Da Su. In addition, during the power competition, Jiang Bole was too popular. Everyone believed that Su Hong's other disciples were all brought up by Jiang Bole alone. Therefore, everyone only recognized Jiang Bole's name. Even if Su Hong's name was mentioned, they would forget about it in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Ran and Su Hong Academy didn't care about this. At that time, Da Su was weak, so keeping a low profile was a good thing for the territory.

In the following years, Da Su did not send anyone to the Deer Cry Banquet.

But now, Suhong Academy has made a strong run into ninth place. Da Su, a disciple from the territory, won the championships in the Yangming and Xinxiu competitions, making a big splash in front of the world. Perhaps it is because they are worried that the "mysterious" Da Su does not plan to send anyone to the Luming Banquet this time that some people who are interested in Da Su specially wrote this invitation to Da Su!
Jiang Ran had originally planned to send Lin Sha to recruit talent for Da Su, and since Lu Mingyan had even sent an invitation, it was even more worthwhile for her to make the trip.

"In that case, Lin Sha, you should be prepared. When the time comes, you must not lose the dignity of Da Su and you must recruit talents for Da Su."

Lin Sha bowed deeply and solemnly, "Yes!"

……

With the conclusion of the power competition, the spirit shadow drama at the Star Gazing Pavilion reached another peak, and disciples from various factions who were preparing for the power competition flocked to the Qu Shui Lou.

I went in out of curiosity and came out deeply impressed.

At the Deer Cry Banquet, Da Su also stole the show.

Perhaps it was the influence of the Spirit Shadow Drama, or the performance of Su Hong Academy and Zi Yun Sect in the power competition, that aroused the curiosity of many people about Da Su. Therefore, although Da Su was only a prefecture-level territory, it severely suppressed those prefecture-level and provincial-level territories this year. Many people without territorial background submitted their "pledges of allegiance" to Da Su to show their sincerity in submitting.

Mortals make up the majority of the population, but because it is Mingxiao City, there are also quite a few cultivators.

It's possible that Da Su's performance in the weapon crafting and alchemy competitions was not outstanding, so weapon crafters and alchemists were not very enthusiastic about Da Su. However, some weapon crafters and alchemists felt that this was an opportunity. If there were not many weapon crafters and alchemists in Da Su, then wouldn't that mean that they would be given important positions once they arrived in Da Su?
Therefore, hundreds of weapon refiners and alchemists sent their pledges to Da Su, wanting to join Da Su. Although most of them were just apprentices without any rank, as well as weapon refiners and alchemists of low mortal or earth-level rank, it was a good start for Da Su.

However, to Lin Sha's greater surprise, the largest number of people joining the Great Abode were actually plant masters and demon spirit masters!

No one knows what happened, but tens of thousands of farmers and spirit masters came upon hearing the news, most of whom were disciples of the Spirit Academy in Mingxiao City!

……

What is the most important thing to become a demon spirit master?
Is it a magical spirit? Or valuable knowledge from a book?
Wang Junsheng can tell you that although these are all important, they are not the most important conditions.

For spirit masters, the most important things are fields that can be used for planting and white spirit crystals.

Putting the latter aside, the location of the spirit crystals is the most important thing. Without land, even if you have the most extensive knowledge, you will be powerless to put it into practice; without land, where will the spirits come from? Even if you are lucky enough to get a few spirits from the market, without land, spirits without a foundation will soon decline.

Wang Junsheng is a member of Mingxiao Spiritual Academy, majoring in Spiritual Soil. He is now twenty-seven years old and has graduated from the outer peak of the academy with excellent grades.

He could have continued his studies at Mingxiao Inner Peak.

However, the land of Mingxiao Spiritual Academy is now controlled by various aristocratic families, academy elders, and core disciples. This means that even if he enters the academy, he will need to spend a lot of money to rent land to grow crops and spiritual herbs.

Moreover, he was a specialist in cultivating spiritual soil, painstakingly transforming barren wasteland into fertile fields, and then converting those fields into spiritual fields. Yet, the landowner could reclaim his carefully tended spiritual fields with just a word. It's truly unbelievable.

Wang Junsheng has actually been paying attention to Da Su for a long time, probably seven or eight years.

I've been following this ever since I met that lord named Jiang Ran.

He was utterly astonished to see this territory, which was originally a town, become a county town and then a prefecture town in just a few years, and now make such a name for itself in Mingxiao City.

Several years ago, he had considered joining the dormitory, but after thinking about it, he decided to finish his studies and have a good resume, so that it would be better to communicate with the dormitory.

Unexpectedly, he was not the only one who had the idea of ​​joining the Great Su. Many demon spirit masters around him also noticed this special territory. Among them were demon spirit masters who had cultivated more than ten demon spirits, including several nascent fairies, and a demon chef who had refined a heaven-rank demon spirit potion.

Wang Junsheng originally thought that as long as he joined, as an outstanding graduate of Mingxiao Outer Peak, Da Su would definitely value him highly. However, now that there are so many strong competitors, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
