Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing was speechless upon hearing this.

Seeing the other's pained expression, he figured these past two years had surely not been easy.

He immediately led him toward the stone house.

He would not go find Senior Brother Zhu for the time being.

In a short while, the two entered the house.

After Lin An sat down, he looked around: "When I first arrived, I thought I had gone to the wrong place; I never expected your changes over these two years to be so great."

Xu Zhangqing waved his hands modestly: "It's all right."

Lin An couldn't help but ask: "Why do you have three mu of spirit fields?"

Xu Zhangqing replied: "I am now... a Foundation Establishment spirit farmer."

"What?"

Lin An was so frightened he stood up, his eyes full of disbelief.

At most.

The four of them joined the Spirit Field Core less than four years ago.

Zhao Ying and Zhao Ziyao.

One was at Qi Refining Middle Stage.

One was at Qi Refining Late Stage.

And the person before him had actually already broken through to Foundation Establishment.

Thinking that the other possessed three mu of Second Grade Spirit Fields, Lin An's face changed greatly, and he asked with a trembling voice: "Could it be that you have already reached Foundation Establishment Middle Stage?"

Xu Zhangqing shook his head: "No, I am only at Foundation Establishment Early Stage."

Lin An just let out a breath of relief, then suddenly realized: "That's not right, Foundation Establishment Early Stage only has two mu of spirit fields, but you have three mu."

Xu Zhangqing explained: "The third mu of spirit field was gifted by a senior brother; you know him too."

"I know him?"

Lin An asked in surprise: "Who?"

Xu Zhangqing smiled slightly: "Senior Brother Zhang Su."

Upon hearing this, Lin An was speechless: "Senior Brother Zhang Su?"

His spirit was somewhat in a trance.

Clearly only two years had passed, yet it felt as if twenty years had gone by.

Xu Zhangqing took out the tea set while saying: "This matter, actually, I should thank you for.

Back then, if it weren't for your help in introducing us, I could not have met Senior Brother Zhang,

and naturally the matter of being gifted the spirit field would not have happened."

Hearing this, Lin An said with a rather complex expression: "Back then at the Outer Perimeter, we both succeeded only at the Third Assessment; I never expected that you are no longer your former self, while I am still my former self."

Xu Zhangqing took out the best Youlan Mist Tea to entertain him, then said: "Since you have returned, from now on just honestly farm the fields."

Lin An hesitated: "Uh..."

Xu Zhangqing asked curiously: "What is it?"

Lin An gave an embarrassed smile: "You know, I am not someone good at farming."

Xu Zhangqing said unhappily: "You've already suffered once, don't you learn your lesson?"

Lin An leaned closer and said in a low voice: "I have an idea; you might be interested."

Xu Zhangqing put the lid on the teapot and then stared at him: "What idea?"

Lin An said seriously: "You probably don't mind farming one more mu of spirit field, right?"

Xu Zhangqing asked in surprise: "You want to give me your spirit field?"

Lin An quickly waved his hands: "Not giving it to you, but renting my Second Grade Spirit Field to you."

Actually, his original target was Zhang Su.

The other's abilities were obvious to all.

As for Zhao Ziyao and Zhao Ying, these two were not within consideration.

Now discovering that the person before him could even take care of three mu of spirit fields, he immediately changed his target.

Xu Zhangqing asked in surprise: "You're not farming anymore?"

Lin An chuckled: "You know, I have no talent for farming; the only reason I succeeded in becoming a formal disciple was relying on my Earth Spiritual Root and Water Spiritual Root."

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly.

The reason the other was caught to cultivate spiritual roots for two years was not because he breached the contract, was it?

One mu of Second Grade Spirit Field produces completely different effects in the hands of different spirit farmers.

With Lin An's talent, at most it would be around two thousand jin.

But if it were me, it could reach the limit of four thousand jin.

Lin An said seriously: "This is what I'm thinking: obtain a sum of startup capital from you, then when the Formal Disciple Competition begins, sell some things and earn the price difference."

Xu Zhangqing said with great interest: "Continue."

Lin An then analyzed: "Think about it, during the Formal Disciple Competition, there will surely be crowds of people; at that time, selling even a little spirit rice, food, pills, and such will earn more spirit stones than usual."

Xu Zhangqing sized up the fellow before him, whom he hadn't seen in two years: "Didn't expect it, but you've got more talent for doing business."

At this praise, Lin An immediately perked up: "Recently selling roasted meat is especially hot, especially after adding that whatever secret barbecue sauce, the flavor is superb."

Xu Zhangqing asked with a half-smile: "Then do you know who invented this secret barbecue sauce?"

Lin An shook his head, answering uncertainly: "Some say the surname is Hu, some say the surname is Zhao."

Xu Zhangqing leaned back in his chair: "It was me."

Lin An's gaze went dull: "Ah?!"

By then the tea was ready, and Xu Zhangqing personally poured a full cup for the other party: "Since our thoughts coincide without prior discussion, we can try cooperating, but are you trustworthy?"

If Lin An still couldn't react, he'd be a complete fool, so he said excitedly: "We can sign a blood talisman contract; once I breach it or betray you, dispose of me as you wish!"

Spirit talisman contracts come in two types.

One type is an ordinary spirit talisman.

Generally speaking, although there is punishment, there is no danger to life.

But a blood talisman contract is different; it is equivalent to handing over one's family property and life.

That is to say, as long as both parties sign a blood talisman contract, with a single thought from Xu Zhangqing, Lin An would drop dead.

"Huh?" Xu Zhangqing felt quite surprised.

He originally only wanted to hint to the other party that signing a spirit talisman contract would suffice.

Once there was betrayal or breach, he would be sent to the earth fire district to offer up his spiritual root again.

He didn't expect this kid would actually choose to go all in.

You should know, once a blood talisman contract is signed, even if Lin An breaks through to Nascent Soul stage, as long as this blood talisman contract exists, he still dies when told to die, not a shred of leeway left.

Lin An mistakenly thought it still wasn't enough, and his face instantly turned ruthless: "Like this, I don't want the spirit field, I'll gift it to you, just help complete the task of five thousand catties of spirit rice every year."

Considering he indeed needed a sufficiently trustworthy runner by his side.

Xu Zhangqing didn't hesitate much and quickly agreed.

Right then, the two signed the blood talisman contract.

Xu Zhangqing merely left a spirit sense imprint.

Lin An, on the other hand, signed a double imprint of divine soul and essence blood.

To a certain extent, this already counts as master and servant.

Looking at the second grade spirit field deed in his hand, and the blood-stained spirit talisman, Xu Zhangqing was thoughtful.

It wasn't that he hadn't considered Hu Bugui or Zhao Ziyue.

But these two people.

One's focus is on the Spirit Beast Valley.

The other only knows fishing every day.

Making them run back and forth, do this and that.

Short term might be fine, but over time they'd definitely grow dissatisfied.

After all, whether Hu Bugui or Zhao Ziyue, both are people with a way out.

Only Lin An is different; he already has completely no way out.

He hasn't farmed in two years.

In terms of ability and talent for cultivating spirit plants, it's already close to zero.

The most important point, Xu Zhangqing truly wanted that acre of second grade spirit field in the other party's hands.

Lin An said with a face full of excitement: "Xu Shi... Ge... Master... Shopkeeper... aiya never mind, in short from now on I'll follow your every command!"
