Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 3 Collecting Rent from Spirit Fields

The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the cracks in the wooden window, and Li Yuan opened his eyes, full of energy.

I cultivated for most of the night last night, and my spiritual energy was much more abundant than the day before. The pure feeling of spiritual energy entering my body is still clear.

[Permanentization Progress: 13/100]

Today, Li Yuan did not patrol the market, but went to Lingtian District to collect rent.

About twenty miles east of Qinghefang City, there is a large area of ​​spiritual fields, probably several thousand acres, which belong to the Wang family.

The Wang family does not farm themselves, but instead rents out their spiritual fields to nearby independent cultivators, charging a certain amount of spiritual grain as rent each year.

Inspectors like Li Yuan, in addition to their daily patrols of the markets, also undertake some rent collection tasks.

The collection of rent requires storage bags, which are expensive. Li Yuan naturally doesn't have any. He usually keeps them at the management office, and goes to get them when he needs them, and returns them when he's done.

A storage bag of one square meter size would cost about fifty or sixty spirit stones, and one square meter in this world is roughly equivalent to one cubic meter in Li Yuan's previous life.

The storage bag used to collect spirit grains is definitely not just one cubic meter in size. Fortunately, as the capacity of the storage bag increases, the price does not increase exponentially. A storage bag of ten cubic meters in size will definitely not cost five or six hundred spirit stones.

The management office is located at the end of Fangshi West Street, in a two-story wooden building with two guards standing at the entrance.

Li Yuan showed his waist token, and the guard nodded and let him in.

The first floor was where business was conducted. Behind several tables sat a clerk-like monk, who was handling various miscellaneous tasks.

Li Yuan walked to the counter and handed over his waist token and a pre-prepared bag: "Take the storage bag, pay part of the cultivator stall rent, and go to the Spirit Field District to collect the rent."

The clerk took the badge and, as usual, asked if anyone hadn't submitted theirs.

After receiving confirmation that everyone had handed in their documents, he checked the roster, took out a palm-sized cloth bag from under the counter, and handed it to Li Yuan: "Remember to return it when you get back."

[Equipable item detected]

[Item Attribute Level: Green]

[Note: Items not belonging to the user cannot be equipped, and detailed information cannot be viewed.]

"Can equipping a storage bag grant green attributes?"

After Li Yuan took the storage bag, the system panel suddenly appeared in front of him.

However, equipping storage bags is not something I should consider for now. Putting aside the issue of equipment slots, I also cannot afford the price.

Li Yuan had anticipated that items that were not his own could not be equipped with this note.

After leaving the management office, Li Yuan headed east.

About half an hour later, they arrived at Lingtian District.

Before my eyes was a neat field, with crisscrossing ridges, and a kind of green rice planted in the field, the ears of rice heavy and exuding a faint spiritual energy.

This is the Jade Rice. It has a low yield, but it is easy to grow and does not have strict requirements for spiritual energy concentration, making it very suitable for planting in these peripheral spiritual fields.

Several scattered monks were working in the fields. Li Yuan walked straight towards the innermost thatched hut.

An old farmer sat at the entrance of the thatched hut, his hair white and his skin dark, weaving something out of straw. Seeing Li Yuan approach, the old farmer put down his work and stood up.

"Inspector Li, it's you again, collecting rent."

"Uncle Wang," Li Yuan nodded, "Is this season's spirit grain ready?"

Uncle Wang is an old man in Lingtian District. He has been farming here for more than ten years and is quite familiar with the original owner of this body.

He has the cultivation level of the second stage of Qi Refining, is honest and hardworking, and never defaults on rent payments.

"It's all prepared, just waiting for you to come and collect it."

Uncle Wang turned and went into the thatched hut. Before long, he brought out a cart full of Qingyu rice. The rice ears were full and the grains were uniform, all of which were top quality.

This kind of rice, imbued with spiritual energy, naturally doesn't have the high yield of ordinary rice. It requires extremely nutrient-rich soil, and a yield of over 100 jin per mu is considered high.

"This year's harvest is good, 20% more than in previous years."

Uncle Wang said with a smile, and then took out a bundle of jade-white spirit grains from somewhere and placed it in Li Yuan's hand.

"Inspector Li has been working tirelessly, so please accept this gift as a token of my gratitude."

These are all unspoken rules of patrols, which can be considered small perks, so Li Yuan naturally didn't refuse.

As Li Yuan received the spirit grain and touched the rice stalk, the semi-transparent text reappeared before his eyes:

[Equipable item detected: White Jade Rice (requires 1 jin)]

[Equipment slots are full (1/1). Replace current equipment?]

[Entry Preview: Five Grains Nourish Qi (White) - Increases stamina recovery speed by 50% and improves Qi and Blood to a certain extent]

[Permanentization Requirements: Consume at least 10 jin of the same type of spiritual grain]

Li Yuan's eyes lit up. Spirit Valley could also be equipped. It seemed that the range of equipment that could be equipped was larger than he had imagined.

Moreover, the effects of the skill are quite good, increasing stamina recovery by 50% and also improving qi and blood.

For a cultivator like him who has to patrol, collect rent, and cultivate every day, physical strength recovery is a very useful attribute.

White Jade Rice is of a higher grade than Green Jade Rice. It can nourish blood and qi and can be considered a first-grade low-quality spiritual grain.

Ten catties of white jade rice, according to market prices, would be worth about five spirit stones. Li Yuan weighed the spirit grain in his hand; it was about one catty.

This type of rice is mostly consumed by cultivators who are practicing body refinement to replenish their qi and blood. Compared to things like qi and blood pills, this stuff is much more cost-effective.

A moment later, Uncle Wang pushed over several carts of spirit grains, all of them green jade rice.

Li Yuan put the spirit grain into his storage bag, his expression unchanged, and asked.

"Uncle Wang, do you know where there is any Qi-gathering rice around here?"

Uncle Wang was taken aback when he heard this, then shook his head.

"All I know is that in the nearly one thousand acres of land around me, no Lingnong is currently growing this Qi-gathering rice."

"I'm not sure about the fields in other places."

Li Yuan was slightly disappointed, but didn't care too much.

This Qi-gathering rice is said to have the effect of assisting cultivators in breaking through realms, and Li Yuan wanted to see if he could obtain the corresponding entry to assist in breaking through realms.

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wang. Here is the receipt."

Li Yuan took out a written receipt from his sleeve and handed it over. Uncle Wang took it, looked at it, and carefully put it away.

"Take care, Inspector Li."

Li Yuan nodded and turned to leave Lingtian District.
