Druid in the Xianxia world

Chapter 28: It’s a promise, double happiness comes to the door

Having been doing business for many years, Lin Fugui could see at a glance that the people behind Zhong Cang were all extremely respectful to him.

Well... twenty or thirty people are nothing to Lin Fugui. He was able to win over Zhong Cang, a genius with second-level spiritual roots, and he was also able to spend a large sum of money to upgrade Zhong Cang's martial arts from ordinary yellow level to black level, which was enough to prove the wealth of the Shen family (this martial arts was replaced by Zhong Cang with a spell, a low-level earth-level spell, "Every Tree and Grass Sees Enemies - Six Heavenly Gods").

But what made Lin Fugui hesitate was that the person following Zhong Cang was not an ordinary person, but a Taoist child.

One spiritual plant husband is nothing, but twenty or thirty of them are something he cannot help but pay attention to.

Just when Lin Fugui was thinking about how to treat Zhong Cang, Shen Fang spoke.

She also saw the twenty or thirty spirit plant husbands behind Zhong Cang.

However, unlike Lin Fugui, even if twenty or thirty spiritual plant husbands gathered together, they were still not taken seriously by her, a direct descendant of the Shen family.

And because she was in a bad mood, she didn't look at it carefully.

Therefore, after Zhong Cang arrived, she still maintained her original attitude:

"why?"

This question, filled with displeasure, was somewhat incoherent, but Zhong Cang understood what she meant and replied quietly, "There is no superiority or inferiority in the Dharma. I don't think there is anything wrong with spiritual plant husbands. I chose it because I think it is the path that suits me best."

"Ignorance!" As soon as these words came out, Shen Fang scolded him: "You don't understand anything at all. There is no future for a spiritual plant husband. Listen to me and choose to practice magic!"

Shen Fang's face was cold, and her tone was full of arrogance and dominance. However, Zhong Cang was not affected at all and shook his head: "Impossible."

"you……"

Zhong Cang's words were met with an angry glare from Shen Fang. In response, Zhong Cang said nothing, but stared at her quietly without any compromise.

After finding that she couldn't change Zhong Cang's mind, Shen Fang stopped talking to him and looked at Lin Fugui. She sneered and said, "This is the husband you chose. He is ignorant, incompetent, and as hard as a rock."

Such an attitude made Lin Fugui sigh: "Ahem, Madam, don't say that, things are not that bad. Zhong Cang has his own ideas, which is a good thing. If we can't reach an agreement, we can find a time to talk slowly..."

Compared to Shen Fang, who came from a wealthy family, Lin Fugui, who has been doing business for many years, is more flexible and does not want to lose face.

Previously, Zhong Cang was willing to sign a contract with the Shen family because of him. As for Shen Tingting's mother, Shen Fang, when they met for the first time, she despised her own background and had a cold attitude.

However, the treaties proposed by other families were more stringent, often binding for thirty to fifty years. In addition, he did not want anything to happen before entering the Taoist temple, so he had to choose one as a shield. Therefore, Zhong Cang chose to sign a contract with Lin Fugui.

Now, the experienced Lin Fugui wants to find out more about Zhong Cang's situation before making a decision - if he is the only one around, their contract can really continue.

Shen Fang was getting impatient.

She felt it was a shame for her daughter to marry a peasant and just wanted to end the matter quickly and decisively.

"No need to talk about it. If you insist on becoming a spirit plant husband, my Shen family will no longer have any relationship with you, and all the contracts we have signed before will be invalidated!"

Shen Fang said this because she wanted Zhong Cang to understand the consequences of not listening to her - she always felt that Zhong Cang had worked very hard to marry into her family.

However, after hearing this, Zhong Cang did not panic or regret as she expected. Instead, he said quietly: "Spiritual Plant Husband is my way, and this cannot be changed. If you do not accept it and therefore sever the contract, I am very sorry, but I have nothing to say."

"But let me make it clear first, the contract is severed, and I will not refund the deposit we agreed upon."

"No need to retreat, just consider it a reward for you... Remember this day well, the greatest opportunity of your life ends today!"

Shen Fang was speaking with a look of disdain and disgust on her face, but this time, facing her arrogant attitude, Zhong Cang was not angry, but felt happy instead.

If it weren't for the wrong scene, he would have almost laughed out loud.

"You actually gave up like that, dandy boy, it's not like you don't have any benefits at all."

Amidst Zhong Cang's sigh, Shen Fang pulled Shen Tingting, glared at Lin Fugui, and let the latter leave helplessly.

Their departure also caused a strange laugh to be heard nearby. "Haha... Stupid, incompetent, Zhong Cang, this is indeed the best evaluation of you..."

Unsurprisingly, Yun Mo Xinhu despised Zhong Cang, thinking that he was the only one who enjoyed such glory now. Many people, however, only Hong Zhi dared to show it openly.

Seeing that Zhong Cang was "broken off", he, who had always been full of malice, immediately laughed at him.

And with such taunting, Zhong Cang didn't even need to take action.

"Incompetent? Puff, a second-class spiritual root can't even sense spiritual energy. You're not as good as me, a third-class spiritual root. If Brother Zhong Cang is incompetent, what are you? A waste that's even worse than incompetent?"

"Bah, you still have the nerve to talk about Boss Zhong Cang. If I were you, I would have committed suicide long ago."

"Shame on you! You've completely disgraced even a second-class spiritual root."

"You guys, you really have second-class spiritual roots, you are not cheating."

One thing to say is that in Yun Mo's heart lake, the one with the most people and power is Zhong Cang.

And he is not a saint who repays evil with kindness. Therefore, these days, even if Zhong Cang did not take the initiative to signal, Li Yan, Yan Yanyan, Feng Sheng, and other spiritual plant husbands and Taoist children who wanted to gain Zhong Cang's favor and be blessed with the wisdom of an owl have been looking for trouble with Hong Zhi.

The disparagement and ridicule from these people was also one of the reasons why Hong Zhi did not sense the spiritual energy.

——Second-level spiritual roots are indeed closer to nature, but if you want to sense spiritual energy, the first thing you need to do is to calm your mind.

Many people mocked him as a waste, and the enemy he hated and despised actually sensed the spiritual energy before him. This made Hong Zhi's heart full of anger and depression. In this situation, it was strange that he could sense the spiritual energy.

Now, finding out that Hong Zhi still dared to cause trouble, Li Yan and the others naturally would not be polite and kept mocking Hong Zhi.

The numerous taunts made Hong Zhi furious. This scene also made Zhong Cang certain that today would be another day when he would return empty-handed.

"Instead of practicing, you're focusing on stirring up trouble. How foolish..."

Shaking his head, Zhong Cang stopped paying attention to him and prepared to enter Yun Mo's heart lake to practice.

However, before Zhong Cang could enter the Taoist temple filled with rich spiritual energy, a rich and powerful young man dressed luxuriously came near Zhong Cang.

"Who are you? What's wrong?"

Looking at the person who came, Zhong Cang's attitude was not good - he thought that the son of a powerful official came because of Hong Zhi's matter.

But he soon discovered that he had misunderstood.

Faced with Zhong Cang's cold tone, the rich kid didn't get angry. Instead, he cupped his hands and said very politely:
"My name is Kong Mao. I have nothing to do with Hong Zhi. I came here to sense spiritual energy... Brother Zhong can help people sense spiritual energy better, right?"

Regarding this issue, Zhong Cang...did not hide anything.

The practice of Taoism is mysterious and has various magical properties.

Whether it is a spirit seed or a foundation of Taoism, it is possible to comprehend some innate spells during the process of condensing or growing.

Zhong Cang has already condensed a spirit seed. He said that he has awakened his magic. Even if other people heard about it, they could only sigh that Zhong Cang was lucky and would not have any other thoughts.

"I do have a small spell that can amplify your perception abilities. But it's just like some of the resources you use; it can only assist and not play a decisive role."

"That's enough, Brother Zhong. Please bless this spell for me when you practice later." Having said that, without waiting for Zhong Cang to refuse, he took out a dozen taels of silver and said to Zhong Cang, "Of course, I won't let you work for nothing. Every time you cast a spell for me, I will give you silver."

"make a deal!"

Zhong Cang had already noticed the role of money these days. Discovering that Xiao Zhirui was smart in making money, he naturally wouldn't be polite.

As the two men reached an agreement, the dozens of taels of silver immediately fell into Zhong Cang's hands. Just when he thought Kong Mao's behavior was an exception, the next moment, another dozen people gathered around.
