The Celestial Race of Destiny: Starting with Farming and Fish Raising
Chapter 17 The Stonemason's Reminder
During the following period, the workers who worked for the Su family were very busy, and Su Qingyan was not idle either.
He first spent a week completely refining Little Grey's soul tablet.
The moment Su Qingyan gained complete control of the Soul Tablet, he felt the connection between himself and Little Grey Grey become extremely strong and clear.
Previously, I could only perceive Little Grey's emotions in a simple way, but now I can perceive the meaning that Little Grey wants to express in great detail.
Even... Little Grey's life or death was in his hands.
Although everything about Little Grey is under Su Qingyan's control at this moment, Su Qingyan's attitude towards Little Grey will not change.
After all, during their most difficult time, Little Grey stayed by their side and helped them through the crisis.
Even after breaking through and having the chance to regain its freedom, it didn't leave. Instead, it gave up most of the Mud Armored Wild Boar King meat for Su Qingyan and his wife to use for their breakthrough.
So as long as Little Grey doesn't betray us, it will always be an important part of the Su family.
After dealing with Little Grey, Su Qingyan began to study two spells from the "Evergreen Spirit Wood Technique" with his wife, Zhang Hui.
These are wooden arrow techniques and rattan armor techniques.
Zhang Hui cared even more about her family's spiritual spring than Su Qingyan did. Whether she was studying magic or cultivating, she always kept an eye on the obscured spring and prevented passing workers from touching the wooden bucket above it.
After nearly a week of study and practice, Zhang Hui's progress in mastering these two spells was much faster than Su Qingyan's, and she had already grasped some of the basics.
The couple knew very well that compared to those disciples of sects and family cultivators who had elders to guide them, they would definitely have to take many detours and spend much more time cultivating magic.
I know what's going on, so I'm not in a hurry.
He supervised the work while practicing.
Unlike other wealthy families, Su Qingyan's family did not require their new house to be ornately decorated or luxurious. They only wanted it to be completed as soon as possible so they could move in, which greatly reduced their workload.
In addition, Su Qingyan spared no expense and hired a lot of workers, so even though their new house was a large project, the construction progress was not slow at all, much faster than the usual construction period.
Within half a month, the basic shape of the new house was revealed to everyone.
Two months later, the main structure of the new house was completed.
By the end of the third month, the new house was completely finished, with all the simple decorations done, and we were just waiting to move in.
Meanwhile, with the mutual support of Su Qingyan and his wife Zhang Hui, they have mastered the two spells they have studied: the Wooden Arrow Technique and the Rattan Armor Technique. Although they are not yet particularly proficient, they can release them without any problem when done according to the procedure.
To celebrate the completion of the new house, Su Qingyan generously prepared the finest wines and meats, setting up more than a dozen tables to treat the workers and some villagers from Yaxi Village to a hearty meal.
He then settled everyone's wages on the spot.
Since becoming a cultivator, Su Qingyan has paid less attention to the gold and silver currencies used by mortals, and has been focused on developing the cultivators' industry.
After several rounds of drinks, the guests were all quite drunk, and many of them had even passed out under the table, creating a lively scene.
At this moment, Su Qingyan was having some dessert when a drunken old man approached, holding a wine glass. He was walking unsteadily, and his eyes were almost closed.
"Young Master Su, you...you are different from those landlords and rich people in the village, or even the surrounding villages. Those people are all incredibly stingy."
"You're different, you're magnanimous!"
"So generous!"
"Old man, I like you!"
"Come, young master of the Su family, let me toast you. With the new house completed, I wish you abundant wealth and great success." The old man slammed his hand on the table and raised his wine glass to Su Qingyan.
Su Qingyan recognized the old man; he was a stonemason from the village, surnamed Luo.
When we were selecting stone for the new house, we went to his workshop to learn about the situation.
Seeing how enthusiastic the other party was, Su Qingyan quickly got up and supported Luo the stonemason's arm, afraid that he might fall under the table if he wasn't careful. Then he picked up a cup and drank with him.
Fueled by the alcohol, Luo the stonemason lowered his voice and continued, "Young Master Su, I can tell that your family is no ordinary people."
"What do scholars call it again?"
"Let me think... I remember now, it's called 'Those who are not meant to stay in a pond will transform into dragons once they encounter wind and clouds'."
"Your whole family will definitely become immortals in the future."
"That Chen family is no match for you at all."
"However, young master of the Su family, there is something else I need to remind you of."
"Don't think I'm being long-winded."
"No, no, I wouldn't have been able to build this new house without your help. Please feel free to ask if there's anything you need," Su Qingyan replied politely.
At this point, Stonemason Luo suddenly became very serious and instructed, "These past few days, there's been a lot of talk in our village about a magical treasure hidden under the wooden jar your family keeps."
"You built this new house to hide that treasure."
"It's all over the news, and there's a lot of evidence to back it up."
"This is not a good thing."
"Whether there's a treasure or not, Young Master Su, you should be careful."
Su Qingyan naturally understood the principle that possessing a treasure is a crime.
However, after becoming a cultivator, Su Qingyan's mindset changed drastically, and he didn't care so much about this matter.
A bunch of ordinary people, let them spread the word.
Even if they attracted bandits or robbers, the couple had magical abilities and could easily deal with them.
Besides, there's also Little Grey Wolf staying at home.
Besides, the source of the spiritual spring is indeed a treasure, but you can't steal it even if you want to.
Unless we seize their new house.
This is something that ordinary people cannot do.
However, since the stonemason Luo meant well, Su Qingyan naturally wouldn't spoil his fun.
After the two had a few drinks, Su Qingyan expressed his gratitude and secretly slipped a small red envelope to Luo the stonemason.
As night deepened, the guests at the Su family's new residence gradually dispersed, and the courtyard grew increasingly quiet.
Su Qingyan circulated the "Evergreen Spirit Wood Technique" and easily expelled the alcohol from his body, becoming fully conscious.
He instructed the two maids to clean up the mess left behind by the guests, and then carried a hoe to the spot between the cultivation room and the fishpond.
They wouldn't dare let outsiders handle matters involving their family's core secrets.
For example, the spiritually rich water from the spring can be introduced into the fishpond.
The cultivation room had a drainage ditch, and Su Qingyan's task was to connect the drainage ditch to the spiritual spring and the fishpond.
If this task were left to the workers, the existence of the spiritual spring would be exposed.
Wouldn't that mean all that time was spent hiding it for nothing...?
