Chapter 7 Accidental Pickup
Qing'an Town, the residence of Qingxuan Sect, is the tallest and largest building in the center of the town.
Along the way, Li Mu met many Lingzhi husbands like him, who came early to deliver rice and pay rent with wheelbarrows and wooden carts.
During the Lingmi harvest season, the outer disciples of the Qingxuan Sect will be sent down to maintain the order in which the Lingzhi husbands pay their rent. No one dares to cause trouble at this time.
“Wormworms! I didn’t notice the worms appeared. This harvest will be a disaster!”
"Yes! I only harvested 600 kilograms of spiritual rice from one acre of land. I worked in vain for half a year, and I still lost ten times."
"Oh! Who doesn't! But if you don't plant spiritual rice, you can still do it. What are you doing!"
"I have quit farming. I heard that a vein of spiritual stone has been discovered in Qingping Town next door, and we are recruiting people. I am going to dig the spiritual mine."
" Spirit mine? It’s easy to encounter evil spirits when you enter the mine. You don’t even know how to die. You should just farm peacefully!” Aphids, just be careful!”
...
While queuing up to pay the rent, Li Mu felt inexplicably heavy after listening to the sad discussions of the Lingzhi husbands around him.
The worm aphids suddenly became popular on a large scale. Many Lingzhi farmers failed to discover it in advance, which resulted in a lot of losses in Lingzhi rice revenue this time. All Lingzhi farmers sighed, and some secretly sighed sadly. Wipe away tears.
Li Mu stood in line silently, waiting to pay the rent, without intervening in their conversation.
If not for the help of Golden Finger, Li Mu would have discovered the pests long ago. Now, he would be like them, gloomy and miserable because the harvest was not enough to pay the tenant rent.
Soon, it was Li Mu's turn to pay the rent. The steward disciple opened the bags of spiritual rice and checked them all, and immediately found that the quality of this batch of spiritual rice was good.
"There are three bags of spiritual rice left. You want to take them to the market for processing, right? Sell them to the sect!" The disciple in charge looked at Li Mu and asked forcefully.
"Uh! Sir, how do you calculate the price of this rice?" Li Mu was stunned for a moment and asked quickly.
"I won't miss you, I'll charge you at the market price!" The disciple in charge glanced at Li Mu angrily, and ordered the younger brother next to him: "Xiao Zhou, give him thirty strikes and move the rice bags in with him. Warehouse."
"Okay!" The disciple named Xiao Zhou took a piece of spiritual stone and handed it to Li Mu.
Li Mu counted, no more, no less, exactly thirty spirits.
All ten bags of spiritual rice were taken away by Qingxuan Sect. Li Mu felt relaxed and pushed the empty cart to the market to purchase some supplies.
When he arrived at the market and inquired about the price of spiritual rice, Li Mu wanted to slap himself a few times.
Big loss!
Due to the influence of worm aphids, many Lingzhi farmers have not harvested enough. Instead, they have to purchase Lingmi rice on the market to pay the rent. Now the price of white jade Lingmi rice has increased by two lings. If this trend continues, the price of Lingmi will continue to rise.
Male Gobi!
Qingxuanzong doesn’t have any good things!
Ugh! Except me.
Li Mu sighed and admitted the loss. The disciple in charge was in the late stage of Qi refining, and he couldn't afford to provoke him. If he wanted to forcefully buy the spiritual rice, there was nothing he could do to stop him.
“Boss, how do you sell Fenglingcao spiritual seeds?” Li Mu came to the Lingzhi store and asked the store owner.
"One pound of five spirits." The shop owner directly took out a package of prepared spirit seeds from under the counter. Whenever the spirit rice harvest season is the season for rent payment, the seeds of the wind spirit grass are sold. "Can one pound of spiritual seeds be planted in one acre? How much is the price?" Li Mu asked hesitantly. After half a year of planting, he only got thirty spiritual stones. He wanted to break a spiritual stone into two flowers.
"It is allocated according to one acre of spiritual land. The price is indispensable. If you don't want it, just leave without giving it away!" The owner of the Lingzhi Store glanced at Li Mu and said indifferently.
……
Damn it! If it weren't for the whole Lingzhi Seed Store in Qing'an Town and the attitude of the store owner, Li Mu would have walked away.
Helplessly, the entire Qing'an Town is almost under the control of Qingxuan Sect, and many industries are monopolized.
For example, this spiritual seed trade is all cultivated by high-level spiritual cultivators of the sect. Many of the spiritual seeds on sale can only grow fruits and cannot be kept for breeding.
Li Mu gritted his teeth and took out five lower spirits, bought a bag of wind spirit grass seeds, turned around and left the spirit plant shop.
Li Mu pushed a wooden cart and strolled around the market. He spent five pieces of spirit and bought half a catty of spirit venison. He spent two pieces of spirit at a tailor shop and bought a set of training clothes. A few stacks of talisman paper,... various food and supplies, and soon, a lot of daily necessities were piled on the cart.
……
"How can I sell this book of exercises?" Li Mu stopped at a veteran selling exercises and asked, pointing to a worn-out book of exercises.
Just now, when Li Mu was cleaning the repair stall, he accidentally found a small leak that could be picked up with his magical power - identifying all spirits. A book of finger snapping exercises that was not of high quality actually contained There is a mezzanine, and there is a book of Xuan-level skills hidden in it.
Li Mu suppressed his excitement and asked the old man selling the exercises for a price.
“Two lower spirits!” The old Taoist glanced at the book pointed out by Li Mu and replied.
“This technique is not even high-grade. Two subordinate spirits are expensive. I want one subordinate spirit!” Li Mu haggled habitually.
The old Taoist hesitated for a moment. As Li Mu said, an ordinary Kung Fu book really couldn't be sold for much, but the old Taoist was reluctant to sell it if he had a spirit.
"How about you buy other cultivation techniques, and this book will be a good gift for you." The old Taoist thought for a while and suggested.
This old guy is really good at doing business!
Li Mu thought for a while. In addition to sword control, which is a skill to defend against enemies, and sword skills, it seems that he should practice a skill so that he would not be in a hurry when encountering ghosts such as ghosts. .
"Do you have fire spells? How do you sell them?" Li Mu scanned the exercise books on the stall again.
"Yes, yes, this Fire Control Technique, and this Fire Condensation Technique, are both good enemy-defending techniques. One book only costs 20 spells, and the other one is paired with the Finger Power Technique." The old Taoist cheered up, He quickly selected two exercises.
"They are all yellow-level inferiors, let's use the Fire Control Technique! 15 inferior spirits." Li Mu swung his sword again, with a loud bang.
"Give me some of what I earn! 19 magic, take away the two books!" The old Taoist looked sad and begged for mercy.
"I only have 15 spirits left. If it doesn't work, I will buy this Zijing." Li Mu flatly refused.
"If you add two more, you will add two lower spirits, 17 lower spirits." The old Taoist begged bitterly.
Li Mu hesitated for a moment, but after touching the bag of spirit stones, his heart became cruel again, and he unfolded the bag of spirit stones to show him.
In the end, the old Taoist lost to Li Mu's spirit stone bag, and dropped the fifteen spirit stones with an unlucky look on his face, unwilling to deal with this poor guy again.
Li Mu silently put the two exercise books into his arms, pushed the wooden cart and left Qing'an Town neatly. In the blink of an eye, he spent all the 30 spirit stones he had spent selling the spirit rice. Next, he must continue After working hard for a while, I continued to earn spiritual stones by drawing spiritual talismans.
