Chapter 43: Poor Monk

Wei Songnian was stunned for a moment and said:
"Junior brother, you are a spiritual farmer. You should know that spiritual fruit trees must be planted in a spiritual field of the highest quality to bloom and bear fruit."

Old Huang straightened his back and said with a smile:

"Hey, Senior Brother Wei, Xiao An already has a first-level spiritual field."

His tone was very arrogant, as if it was his contribution that Ji An had the first-level spiritual field.

"Oh I got it."

Wei Songnian nodded calmly and said approvingly:
"I didn't expect you to finally be so generous, Old Huang. I thought you were just talking when you were drinking that time."

Old Huang, the stingy guy, finally realized that he had to do a big favor. It's good that he has become wise at such an old age.

Green corn has two seasons a year, and it is a very cost-effective thing to give up some crystals to make friends with a promising cultivator. It would not be very sincere to hand over the first-level spiritual field to Ji An when Lao Huang leaves the sect.

Old Huang's face immediately turned red. When they were drinking that time, he did have the idea of ​​giving away the spiritual field.

After drinking, he thought that the green corn could provide him with a net income of seven or eight spirit stones every season. Losing these crystals would be no different from cutting his flesh.

This is a gift, not a loan of spirit stones, and they cannot be returned.

After leaving the sect, he would never have such a good opportunity again, so he wanted to save more money for his grandson.

Seeing Lao Huang’s black face turned into a monkey’s butt, Wei Songnian still didn’t realize that he had said the wrong thing.

"Brother, you guessed wrong. I was the one who cultivated the land in the courtyard into a first-grade, low-grade spiritual field. It must be because the previous brother who moved in left a good foundation."

Ji An took over the topic calmly. He didn't mind that Lao Huang didn't transfer the spiritual field to him.

The spiritual field was cultivated by others with great effort. He would be grateful if it was given to him. It is his freedom not to give it to him now.

But if Lao Huang gives him enough, he will give back more in the future.

Despite his high income, he was still short of crystals. He only had a soul-capturing array, but he could only use the array for a little over thirty hours a month, which was far from enough to satisfy him.

"It's my junior brother's ability, and has nothing to do with the last disciple who moved in."

Wei Songnian said, how could he not know that most spiritual farmers used their own courtyards as vegetable gardens, or raised rabbits or something like that to satisfy their hunger.

Old Huang's face became less red, and he coughed to cover up his embarrassment:
"Little An's Thick Earth Technique also reached perfection a few months ago, so he was able to cultivate a first-level spiritual field so quickly."

"I've known for a long time that Junior Brother's spiritual farming is different from others."

Wei Songnian sighed and asked:
"Junior brother, do you have any requirements for the types of fruit trees?"

"I'm not picky. Common spiritual peach trees, spiritual apricot trees, and spiritual jujube trees will do. I heard from my senior brother that there is a kind of enlightenment tea tree. This seedling will also work.

And if there are seedlings of soul-nourishing trees, that counts too."

Isn't that too picky? Of the three sects in Xizhou, only Luofeng Valley has a second-level enlightenment tea tree. This precious tree is a major source of income for Luofeng Valley, and no seeds or saplings have ever been shed.

The soul-nourishing tree has very strict requirements on its growth environment and cannot be grown in a first-level spiritual field.

Wei Songnian grinned and said:

“Junior Brother Wudao Tea Tree, forget about it, but I can think of a way to deal with the ordinary Spiritual Tea Tree.

No one sells fruit tree seedlings, but it is not difficult to get seeds of spiritual peaches and spiritual apricots. You can buy seeds for ten spiritual crystals.

Spiritual fruit trees are different from mortal fruit trees. They take many years to grow before they bear fruit. I don’t know the details, so I need to ask someone who knows about it.”

He calculated the date and continued:

“I’m taking my junior brother to a place tonight to see if there will be any gains.

Junior brother has broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining, and it's time for him to interact more with fellow cultivators."

Ji An bowed: "Thank you, Senior Brother."

Huang Feihu bought some spirit wine and Wei Songnian said with a smile:
"Old Huang, Feihu looks smart. With your help, his future as an immortal will surely be much smoother."

"Haha, Feihu will definitely be more successful than me. I'll ask you two to take care of him in the future." Old Huang broke the seal of the spiritual wine, and the fragrance filled the air.

Liang Qiu prepared the spiritual fish and served it up, along with some fresh fruits and vegetables and ordinary meat. Several people began to feast on the food.

As the sun sets in the west, two people ride on the talisman bird and fly slowly in the sky.

Wei Songnian patted the bird under his butt and said harshly:

"Ah, I'm getting more and more fed up with the speed of the Talisman Bird. When I advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, I must buy a flying beast."

Ji An just smiled. The price of buying an ordinary flying beast was not expensive, but the cost of taming a spirit beast was not low.

If you don’t use it often and don’t have enough crystals, it’s best not to buy a large spirit beast.

"This time we're going to a free trading venue provided by the sect. There are several similar trading venues, and trading is held every three months. I'll take my junior brothers to visit them all when I have the chance.

In places like these, there are sect-based foundation-building monks who can help verify the authenticity of items, but it costs some spirit stones."

Ji An smiled and said:

"Excuse me, Senior Brother. Do you have any elixirs suitable for disciples in the late stage of Qi Refining? Can you give me some on credit and I will return it to you when the spiritual grains are ripe?"

He hasn't borrowed anything from anyone for a year since he paid off his debts. It's time to borrow money to practice.

"Haha, Junior Brother, you asked at the perfect time. I just came back from Qingyun Immortal City a few days ago, and I still have two bottles of Shenyuan Pills left.

But I can't give you too many, I can only give you five, and I have to keep some pills to exchange for something useful."

"Five pills would be great. I wonder how much the Shen Yuan Dan is worth?"

Wei Songnian raised a finger:
“A genuine Shenyuan Pill produced by Luofeng Valley, two spirit stones for one.

The elixirs for the later stages of Qi Refining require spiritual herbs that are several decades old as the main ingredients, and they have always been in short supply.

I was able to buy a batch of Shenyuan Pills from Qingyun Immortal City only through my family connections."

It’s so expensive, the Jade Pill still costs 30 spirit crystals each!

Ji An laughed at himself:
"I always thought I was doing well, but I never knew I was still so poor."

Wei Songnian sighed with deep sympathy:

“Yes, we are all poor monks.

I can only take five Shen Yuan Dan at most in a month. I need to save up the crystals to exchange for contribution points, and then I need to wait in line to exchange them for foundation-building pills from the sect."

When the two arrived at the transaction location, it was already dark.

Wei Songnian took out twenty spirit crystals and handed them to the disciple guarding the door, saying with a smile:

"Brother Cui, two people."

The man took the spirit crystal and said calmly:

"Junior Brother Wei has brought some new people. Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and noisy discussions poured into Ji An's eardrums. This hall had a soundproofing array.

The two men stepped in. Ji An took a quick look and found that there were about fifty or sixty people inside.

Most of the people displayed an aura stronger than his, and they were probably his senior brothers at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining.

A chubby monk with a round face came over and said with a smile:

"Old Wei, this junior fellow student next to you looks unfamiliar.

Junior brother, let me introduce myself to you, Lin Antai."
