After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 8 Getting Rich Quick: Starting with Selling Wild Vegetables

Egret: "I got a car for free!"

Qin Xiu: "..."

But in the end, she was convinced by the egret's nonsense, because she was surprised to find that it was a really good idea!
It doesn't matter whose name is written when we're all family.

But there's a vague feeling that something's not right.

However, the stone of "guilt" weighing on his heart shattered into pieces in an instant, so much so that when he said, "What I just said about not having to pay living expenses is null and void," he didn't stammer once.

Egret: "."

She knew that being the eldest sister meant enduring some grievances.

Qin Xiu felt relieved, as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart.

Bai Lu's eyes lit up, and she felt she could now mention her plans to return home and farm: "Mom, how many pigs do we have now? Do you think it would be okay if I stayed home and helped you raise the pigs?"

She can raise mythical beasts, so raising pigs would be a piece of cake for her.

She's made up her mind: she'll start getting rich by raising pigs!
Little did she know, Qin Xiu rolled her eyes at Bai Lu: "There are about two hundred pigs of all sizes in the family, but do you know how to raise them? Other people's eldest sister does the most work, but you are the opposite. As long as either Weiwei or Chenchen is exhausted, you won't lend a hand. And you raise pigs? The family has been raising pigs for more than ten years. Can you count on your fingers how many times you have fed the pigs and cleaned the pigsty?"

My eldest daughter is perfect in every way, except she's a bit lazy; she's the kind of person you'd walk around if a soy sauce bottle fell on the ground.

Ah this
The egret was speechless.

She has indeed been a little lazy since she was a child.

"White Egret!" Qin Xiu looked at her suspiciously. "Did something happen to you? Why did you suddenly bring up raising pigs? Did the client give you another problem? Let me ask you one question: for the sake of this commission, can you tolerate this client? If not..."

Qin Xiu didn't know what to say. After all, Bai Lu's job was in Jiangcheng, which was close to home and paid well. Her salary had been stable at over 10,000 yuan for the past year. Such a job was really hard to find!

But if she hadn't resigned, her child was so well-behaved; if it weren't for the clients being so unreasonable, Lulu would never have run away.

"Nothing's wrong, I just said it casually!"

Bai Lu felt that it wasn't appropriate for them to discuss this matter since it was just the two of them at home, so she pressed the button and casually made up a story: "The client is great, and the boss is great too. I told him I had something to do and needed to go home, and the boss even gave me paid leave. You know, I can still draw the design at home, as long as I submit the draft on time!"

The boss from Sanshui did try to persuade her to stay, but she gave up the opportunity.

Qin Xiu didn't suspect anything. She yawned and said, "I got up at five in the morning. I'm going back to my room to sleep for a while. Didn't you say you wanted to raise pigs? Go to the pigpen at eleven o'clock to feed the piglets. The feed is in that water tank. Just scoop out three basins and scatter them directly in the pigpen."

—You wouldn't believe it, would you? These farm pigs are all raised on commercial feed!
"Row."

Bai Lu agreed and took away the bowls from both of them.

Qin Xiu's health has deteriorated significantly since the surgery. She needs to rest enough every day, otherwise she will experience headaches and dizziness. She can still do some work, but she has to move very slowly.

So her daily work consists of cooking, feeding the chickens, watering the vegetables, and playing cards.

The rest of the physical labor was done by Dad Baijiang.

Bailu changed her clothes and hat and walked along a country path. She saw many wild vegetables along the way, and her eyes lit up. She opened her phone, searched for the prices of wild vegetables, and wow!
Wild vegetables, they're a good business opportunity!

People nowadays love to reminisce about the sweet and bitter times. Every year when wild vegetables come to market, they can sell for a beautiful price. But now that it's early spring, there are even fewer wild vegetables, and the price is so beautiful it's almost unbelievable!

150g of camphor wood is selling for a whopping 19.9 yuan!
That works out to over 66 yuan per kilogram!

Even common goosefoot, lamb's quarters, is selling for 19.9 yuan per pound!
At this time of year, wild vegetables are just sprouting and there aren't many of them, but that's alright. How can a cultivator of immortality be without some tricks up their sleeve!

Egret grasps its claws—

You can get rich quick by selling wild vegetables!
She chose a hillside with the most wild vegetables—coincidentally, this hillside was right behind Sanqing Mountain.

Standing among the wild vegetables, Bai Lu made a hand gesture, drawing the surrounding spiritual energy to gather on the hillside. In an instant, specks of spiritual energy were scattered among the wild vegetables in the fields.

The wild vegetables, huddled together, seemed to come alive at this moment, stretching out their tender leaves to desperately absorb the vital energy hanging above them, then sighing as they stretched out their branches, growing, sprouting, and branching—

This is the most commonly used spirit-gathering hand gesture in the cultivation world, and it has a certain effect on promoting growth.

If possible, you could consider setting up a spirit-gathering array; the growth rate would be truly terrifying—the plants would grow at 128x speed.

When Bai Lu was cultivating immortality, he conducted an experiment—the speed at which seeds in the mortal world are accelerated to grow will increase exponentially when they are bathed in a certain concentration of spiritual energy. In other words, if the concentration of spiritual energy is sufficient, a seed can often grow from planting to flowering and fruiting in just one minute, or even tens of seconds.

Is this the kind of content that ordinary people can see without a VIP subscription?

Anyway, Bailu doesn't dare to use it now, nor does she have the ability to do so. After all, she's very poor right now and doesn't even have a piece of jade. With her current weak cultivation level, she can't set up an array with stones.

After stimulating the growth of wild vegetables, the egret walked towards its own pigpen, which wasn't far away; it was only a ten-minute walk in the opposite direction of Sanqing Mountain.

But as soon as it stepped inside, the egret almost vomited from the mixed smells.

The reason she doesn't like going into the pigsty is because it's too smelly and dirty!

Holding its breath, Bai Lu haphazardly poured three plates of feed and then rushed out the door. In just a short while, it was already covered in the scent of its second senior brother.

Egret: "."

If this second senior brother is raised like this, the egret says she really can't raise him.

Those who cultivate immortality are naturally very sensitive to their five senses. Standing in this pigsty is no different from drowning in a cesspool.

However, it's unrealistic to expect my parents to agree to build an automated pig farm where my second brother can have his own private room. After all, this pig farm was built last year in response to the government's call to raise pigs without polluting water sources, and it cost nearly 100,000 yuan!

Ultimately, it all comes down to a lack of money. If she had money, she could build any kind of pig farm!

Thinking it over, Bailu closed her eyes, held her breath, and rushed into the pigpen again—she wanted to add spiritual energy to the piglets' water to cleanse their foul-smelling bodies and souls. But when she got inside, she realized that she hadn't been home for too long, and their pigs were already drinking tap water!
The water outlet was right on the wall; when the pigs were thirsty, they would happily run over and suckle—

Egret: "."

When I got home, I washed my hair twice and took two showers, but I could still smell the lingering stench of Pigsy on my body. It just wouldn't go away!
