Chapter 56: Taking Over the Spirit Chicken Garden

Yu Zhangsheng saw the blue-spotted deer trot up to him with small steps, nodding its head at him in an imposing manner.

He recalled Wei Lao's reminder and hurriedly nodded in return.

Then he saw the blue-spotted deer open its mouth, waiting quite obediently to be fed.

If he had not nodded back just now, Yu Zhangsheng had no doubt that mouth would have bitten him.

"Smack smack!"

He fed the prepared leaves into its mouth, and a burst of chewing sounds rang out; those beautiful large eyes kept observing Yu Zhangsheng at all times.

Afterward, the blue-spotted deer playfully nodded its head at him again.

Yu Zhangsheng dared not delay and hurriedly returned the gesture.

Seeing this newcomer so proper and rule-abiding, the blue-spotted deer instantly lost interest.

【You have successfully fed a Blue-Spotted Deer, consumed Kui Tree Leaf *30, gained Reward 50 Essence points】

This reward stunned Yu Zhangsheng — 50 points! Just feeding some Kui Tree Leaves yielded that many; it was comparable to a single Qi-Gathering Pill! "Good fellow." Yu Zhangsheng stared at the blue-spotted deer with a face full of delight.

The blue-spotted deer felt a bit unnerved by his gaze and immediately turned around, lay down on the lawn, giving not the slightest chance to be touched.

"Not bad, you've already grasped the knack."

To the side, Wei Lao smiled with appreciation: "The blue-spotted deer sometimes has a weird temper; needing a returned nod is one thing, but if it doesn't take a liking to you, it'll even lift its hoof and kick you."

"Once you've passed this hurdle, I believe the other spirit beasts won't be able to stump you either."

Hearing this, Yu Zhangsheng's heart trembled, and he said: "This blue-spotted deer can even kick people?"

This is a First Rank Eighth Layer spirit beast! If it kicked him at close range, wouldn't he be heavily injured and fall to the ground!

Wei Lao looked at him and smiled faintly: "Not reminding you was just to test you; with this old man here, what are you afraid of."

"Alright, go to the next spirit beast."

Yu Zhangsheng followed behind Wei Lao and fed the other spirit beasts in the Beast Garden one by one; in the end it was a scare without danger.

And his harvest was quite substantial — a full 1,900-plus Essence! That's comparable to over a dozen Spirit Chicken Gardens!

For a moment Yu Zhangsheng found the Spirit Chicken Garden a bit dull.

But because he had promised Chang Guan Shi, after thinking it over, a mosquito's leg is still meat; feeding spirit chickens was already very familiar and wouldn't take much time, so he still went over.

The Spirit Chicken Garden was right near Yushou Peak; riding his Iron Eagle King he arrived before long.

And holding the Formation Token, he walked inside.

Yu Zhangsheng saw Chang Guan Shi actually standing in front of the chicken coop in an uncharacteristic manner, and beside him was an old man, pointing and gesturing at the spirit chickens inside.

He did not conceal his aura; the moment he entered he was noticed by that old man, who stopped his hand and turned his head to look over.

"Oh? You're that Yu Zhangsheng who takes care of the spirit chickens."

The old man curiously sized him up and said: "Chang Guan Shi said you've already become a Yushou Peak Outer Sect Disciple; how come you came back?"

Chang Guan Shi laughed at the side: "Han Shu Shu, before, Changsheng promised me that even if he became an Outer Sect Disciple he would still come take care of the spirit chickens."

"I see, quite a good child who keeps his word; what a pity, I plan to sell this Spirit Chicken Garden, otherwise I could still hand it over to you to manage."

The old man shook his head with a bitter smile.

So he was the Han Shu Shu who hadn't shown his face for several months — Han Elder.

Yu Zhangsheng heard their words and was somewhat surprised. Seeing his expression, Chang Guan Shi proactively explained: "Han Shu Shu is going to the Wuzhou Border Garrison to preside over affairs there; he won't be back for three to five years, so this Spirit Chicken Garden is going to be listed for sale to other Elders."

Toward the end, Chang Guan Shi sighed; clearly he also couldn't bear to part with these spirit chickens he had watched grow up.

"Sell it?" Yu Zhangsheng's heart suddenly went *click*, as if an idea had popped up.

He pondered carefully and cautiously asked: "I wonder how many spirit stones Han Shu Shu plans to sell it for?"

Han Shu Shu was somewhat surprised by Yu Zhangsheng's question.

Because in his view, Yu Zhangsheng had only just become an Outer Sect Disciple; even if he had the idea of taking over the Spirit Chicken Garden in his heart, he had no spirit stones to pay, so he merely treated it as curiosity.

"These spirit chickens still number one hundred fifty; each priced at five spirit stones, plus this plot of land — this old man originally took it for two thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, plus the formation array and such, total asking price three thousand five hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones."

The expensive parts here are mainly the formation array and the land; the formation array is already many years old, so the price was reduced somewhat.

But the land has been appreciating year by year; now all the good land in the Sect has been taken by senior Elders, and newly promoted Elders find it hard to find a good Cave Dwelling.

And this Spirit Chicken Garden plot, though its spirit qi cannot compare to the Yushou Peak summit, is still better than places like the Outer Peaks.

"How about it, little guy, are you interested?"

Seeing Yu Zhangsheng's thoughtful look, Han Shu Shu laughed out loud.

"It's like this: my family recently wants to do some demonic beast trade, and these spirit chickens happen to be suitable, so I want to take it over as a supply source." Yu Zhangsheng smiled.

Han Shu Shu looked at him in surprise, then said: "Selling to an Outer Sect Disciple — that's quite rare."

Then he pondered a bit more; listing it for sale to other Elders might still get haggled down, and ten days or half a month might not settle it; better to just sell directly to the person before him.

"It can be done, but this old man can stay in the Sect for at most one more month; within this period, can you deliver?" Han Shu Shu raised his eyes, gazing at Yu Zhangsheng, and asked.

Yu Zhangsheng smiled: "Please rest assured, Han Shu Shu; this disciple will write to the family as soon as he returns, and in at most two weeks' time can bring the spirit stones over to deliver."

"Good!" Han Shu Shu was overjoyed.

"Then this old man will go back first; after you get the spirit stones, have Chang Guan Shi contact me."

Finished speaking, he hurriedly left.

Chang Guan Shi looked at Yu Zhangsheng and smiled: "Didn't expect that in the blink of an eye this Spirit Chicken Garden would be transferred to you."

Yu Zhangsheng didn't dare reveal too much; he secretly slipped him a bottle of Pills and smiled: "It's all family business; I'm just lending a hand, still need Chang Guan Shi to take care of things."

"Mm, I've nothing to do at the Outer Peaks anyway; if anyone asks, I'll say this Spirit Chicken Garden was taken by another Elder, hahaha."

Chang Guan Shi laughed and accepted the bottle of Pills, thinking to himself: such a sensible disciple is truly rare.

"Alright, you go prepare the spirit stones first; I'll go be busy too."

"Yes, I'll feed today's chickens then go back."

Yu Zhangsheng smiled, saw Chang Guan Shi off as he left the Spirit Chicken Garden, then gazed at the stretch of land behind, his heart surging with heroic ambition.

"I didn't expect to have my own territory this quickly."

"This Zone is a good place whether for training Demonic Beasts or raising Spirit Chickens and Demonic Beasts; the key is the Formation, so it won't be seen by others."

Thinking of Here, Yu Zhangsheng hurried to feed the Spirit Chickens, and after harvesting 150 points of Essence, he rushed to the First Grade Medicine Hall to buy materials.

Three thousand five hundred Spirit Stones, two weeks' time, he would have to work Day and Night Refining pills to earn it! For this land, he had to go all out once!
