Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 24 Fangshi
A nameplate hangs on the left side of the door of each shantytown.

Ronan found his shantytown by following the information on the token.

The house was right next to the young woman's, only about fifty steps away.

His shanty was much smaller than the young woman's.

The sacred field allocated to him was located two hundred meters in front of the shantytown.

The spiritual field was abandoned and overgrown with weeds.

I went inside the shantytown and took a look.

The interior was practically bare, consisting of only four bare walls.

The wooden house, which is only about 30 square meters, contains only a simple straw mat.

In the corner, there was a chamber pot and a stained wooden bucket.

'What kind of bucket is this? Is it a night-scented bucket?'

Ronan looked at the surroundings and shook his head inwardly.

If he was an ancestor of the Liu family and lived in this environment before, then it would have been better for him to go to the secular world.

'Luckily, I can return to the wizarding world.'

Ronan walked out of the shanty with a sense of relief.

Just then, the young woman's child, with a round head and a small wooden mallet, ran over.

"Brother, brother, you live here!"

The child, who was not even half as tall as Ronan, laughed and waved his little mallet as he ran around Ronan's feet, trying to amuse him and play with him.

squeak~
The sound of the wooden door opening rang out.

A beautiful woman rushed out anxiously, her brows furrowed, and her gaze towards the child held a hint of reproach:
"Stop bothering your brother all the time!"

As he spoke, he pulled the child away from Ronan's feet, giving an awkward smile:
"Fellow Daoist, I'm sorry, but there are mostly adults around here, and no one can play with the child."

Then she glanced at Ronan's shantytown:
"You got assigned here? I never thought we'd become neighbors."

She glanced again in the direction of the spirit field and asked:

Where is your spirit field located?

“There.” Ronan pointed to the overgrown spiritual field.

The young woman glanced at it and said:

"After you've been allocated the land, you need to go to Deacon Lin to collect the seeds and farming books."

"The shantytown is now managed by the Yu family, a family of cultivators from the mansion area."

"The registered deacon Xie and the deacon Lin, who are in charge of farming in the shantytown, are managed by different members of the Yu family."

"How much land you cultivate, and how you cultivate it, is none of Deacon Xie's business."

"The one in charge of this matter is Steward Lin."

"When you ask him for seeds and books, he will tell you the rules of farming."

"That is, how much you need to pay in a year to get rent-free accommodation."

"Generally speaking, Deacon Lin will not make any demands on you in the first year."

"Because beginners have been learning for a year and are just getting the hang of it, they won't have much output."

"In the second year, if the target is not met and the rent cannot be paid, the only option is to go mining. After paying the rent, the person will be expelled from the True Immortal Realm."

After the young woman and Ronan discussed some more rules of the Immortal Realm, they chatted for a few more minutes and exchanged names.

This young woman's name is "Li Yao".

And her child is named "Wang Xiaocong".

She didn't say who her husband was.

Ronan inquired with Li Yao about the whereabouts of Deacon Lin.

After Li Yao took her leave and pulled Wang Xiaocong back, he headed towards Deacon Lin's shanty.

……

After an incense stick had burned, Ronan returned to the shantytown carrying a large bundle.

Opening the bundle, one finds a large bag of seeds.

There is also a book.

The book details the essentials of cultivating spirit fields, as well as several essential spells for doing so.

All of them are first-tier low-grade spells suitable for low-level Qi Refining cultivators.

— Soil loosening techniques, weeding techniques, minor rain-making spells…

Although they are all first-tier spells, it will still take a considerable amount of time to learn them all and master their use.

'No wonder there were no requirements in the first year.' 'This first year is for newcomers to develop magical power and learn spells.'

Ronan flipped through the book again and then tossed it aside.

He has no intention of farming.

A few months later, he sold some of the [Proficient] level amulets and lightness amulets.

At that time, he will have spirit stones to pay the rent.

'I wonder what good things the market has?'

Ronan's purpose in coming here was to obtain magical artifacts and other items from the cultivation world.

Now that I finally have some free time, I had the idea of ​​going to the market to take a look.

……

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

Ronan knocked on Li Yao's door.

A moment later, the wooden door opened.

Li Yao's delicate face was revealed.

And behind her, Wang Xiaocong peeked out and looked at Ronan.

"Brother, did you come to play with me?"

Before Li Yao could speak, Wang Xiaocong excitedly said.

Ronan ignored Wang Xiaocong and said to Li Yao:

"Fellow Daoist Li, I apologize for disturbing you. I have something I wish to ask you."

"Fellow Daoist Luo, there's no need for such politeness. We're neighbors, and I might need your help in the future," Li Yao said with a smile.

"Please come in and talk."

Li Yao pulled Wang Xiaocong back, making way for Luo Nan.

Ronan apologized again for disturbing him and went into Li Yao's room.

Li Yao's house was indeed much bigger than his, probably over seventy square meters.

There is a large hall and two rooms.

Inside the room was a square table with four wooden chairs on the side, and a ceramic tea set on the table.

Only Li Yao and Wang Xiaocong were inside; Li Yao's husband was nowhere to be seen.

Li Yao brewed a pot of tea for Luo Nan. "Fellow Daoist Luo, we have no spiritual tea, so we can only serve you worldly tea. Please forgive us."

"Fellow Daoist Li, you're too kind." Ronan asked, "Where is the market town? Could you please tell me?"

"Oh, I thought you were going to ask about cultivating spirit fields," Li Yao said. "Fellow Daoist Luo, please wait a moment."

With that, Li Yao walked away.

As soon as Li Yao walked away, Wang Xiaocong clung to her:
"Brother Ronan, you're going to the market? Take me with you, I know the way!"

After Li Yao returned, she pulled Wang Xiaocong off Luo Nan.

She placed a yellowed piece of paper on Ronan's desk:

“Fellow Daoist Luo, the shantytown is very large. It is the outermost part of the Zhenhuan Sect’s Immortal Domain, like a circle, with the Zhenhuan Sect’s spiritual vein as the center, circling around the Zhenhuan Sect.”

"The shantytown we are in is located to the east of the True Sect's spiritual vein, so it is also called the Eastern Shantytown."

"This is the map of the East District. It contains three market towns, all managed by the Yu family from the mansion district."

As she spoke, she pointed to three red dots on the map with her slender, jade-like fingers.

“Mother, I know the way. Let me take Brother Ronan there,” Wang Xiaocong said.

"Stop messing around!" Li Yao said.

Wang Xiaocong suddenly started to cry: "You said you would take me to the market to play once I felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. I felt it last night, but you didn't keep your word!"

Li Yao said with a slight reproach, "Last night there was just a cold wind, and you almost caught a cold. There was no spiritual energy from heaven and earth."

As she spoke, she pursed her lips and gave Ronan an awkward smile.

Just now, Ronan awakened Hongmeng and memorized the map of the East Slum.

He stood up and said to Li Yao, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li."

After saying that, he walked outside.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, don't you need a map?" Li Yao picked up the map, stood up, and asked Luo Nan.

"I think I've got the location of the market down." Ronan thanked him again and left the house.
