Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Watching Han Su's gradually receding back, Xu Zhangqing withdrew his gaze.

At the same time, he was very curious in his heart.

He wanted to know what kind of cultivation method the other party would take from the Loose Cultivator Market.

As long as it was suitable for cultivating with a Wood Spiritual Root, there would absolutely be no problem.

Moreover, relying on his golden finger, he could achieve full level instantly.

This lifespan of over seventy thousand days had long been "parched with thirst."

Next, one person and one dog once again headed toward Stone Mountain.

The situation on the mountain had already been learned.

But there was still a cave they had not entered.

Anyway, it was still early, so they could go take a look.

Soon, Xu Zhangqing returned to the foot of Stone Mountain again.

The cave was on the left side.

It was fairly hidden.

Speaking of the entrance, it was somewhat short and narrow.

With Xu Zhangqing's height and build, he had to lower his head and turn sideways to enter.

In contrast, the little yellow dog had no such restriction and leaped inside in an instant.

Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing hurriedly shouted, "Slow down, what if there's danger inside?"

Next, he quickly followed.

The deeper they went, the dimmer the light became.

Fortunately, the passage was straight with no corners at all.

After about ten meters, they had reached the end.

The deepest part had only a very small inner space.

Xu Zhangqing swept his gaze over it; apart from the little yellow dog, there was almost nothing.

The inside of this cave was just like the whole Stone Mountain—utterly ordinary everywhere.

"Woof!" The little yellow dog squatted in the corner, showing a hardworking expression.

Xu Zhangqing said unhappily, "The air is already bad enough, and you're still shitting."

He retreated a few steps, then stood on the left side waiting.

Not long after, the little yellow dog finished shitting.

Then he kicked the ground with his hind legs, trying to bury the "evidence" with dirt.

This was originally nothing; it belonged to normal behavior.

But Xu Zhangqing caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye and suddenly stared wide-eyed.

However, what attracted his gaze was not that pile of dog shit.

But the dirt kicked aside by the dog's leg.

The surface layer was yellow.

But underneath was actually black.

"Could it be..." Xu Zhangqing didn't care about the stench at all and immediately leaned in.

"Woof woof!" The little yellow dog thought his master was hungry and subconsciously blocked the dog shit.

Xu Zhangqing pushed it away, then reached out to touch the black soil.

The texture was somewhat hard.

But after crushing it with his fingers, it turned out to be quite sticky.

"Black soil, absolutely black soil." Xu Zhangqing was beside himself with excitement.

"Woof?" The little yellow dog tilted his head, looking doubtfully at his master.

"Little thing, you've rendered great service this time." Xu Zhangqing immediately picked it up and rubbed its dog head furiously.

Next, he cast Wood Spirit Entangling Art (Third Layer).

He released the ten grass seeds stored in the spirit seal.

At the moment they landed, these grass seeds evolved into ten Black Iron Vines.

Then, under Xu Zhangqing's control, they drilled around everywhere.

Gradually, that layer of yellow earth on the surface was turned over.

Just as he had guessed, underneath was all black soil.

Although it had been buried for too long, its quality might not compare to the spirit fields outside.

But using it to plant the most common spirit rice was absolutely no problem.

After cultivating for a while, who knew, they might be able to plant other spirit plants.

Not long after, Xu Zhangqing took the little yellow dog and left this abandoned cave.

Coming outside, he couldn't help but reassess the Stone Mountain before his eyes.

The more he looked, the more suspicious he felt, or rather "deliberate."

If it were a normal mountain, that would indeed be no problem.

But it just had to be Stone Mountain.

And there just happens to be a large amount of Black Soil underneath.

Unsurprisingly, this place was once a Spirit Field as well.

Because of the Black Soil, it is at least Second-grade.

Just don't know who deliberately concealed it.

But for now, not many people know this.

Especially now, perhaps only Xu Zhangqing remains.

When the time comes, secretly reclaim a portion.

Xu Zhangqing can plant Spirit Rice on one side, and other spiritual plants on the other.

You must know, if not for the 【Four-leaf Clover】 occupying part of the Spirit Field.

This harvest's yield would absolutely not be just 【3500 jin】.

……

Watching the time arrive at noon.

For lunch, Xu Zhangqing specially made a very sumptuous meal for Little Yellow Dog.

No choice, who told it to perform a great merit this time.

After finishing eating, Xu Zhangqing washed the bowls, then took out a Communication Talisman from the Small Storage Bag.

This was given by Li Sancai when he came; privately, they had never contacted each other.

Watching the spring season pass.

According to the agreement, he must deliver 800 jin of Second-grade Spirit Rice to Li Lingbi.

"Senior Brother Li, are you there!"

"Junior Brother Xu, what is the matter?"

"Don't we have a cooperation?"

"Uh... have you prepared the 800 jin of Second-grade Spirit Rice?"

"Mission accomplished, barely scraped it together!"

"You go east, after crossing three mountain slopes in a row you can see a river, I am on the opposite bank."

"Good."

Communication ended.

Xu Zhangqing put the Communication Talisman back into the Small Storage Bag, then prepared to set off.

Little Yellow Dog ate and drank its fill, lying at the door resting contentedly.

Even when the Master approached, it couldn't be bothered to move, just wagging its tail perfunctorily.

Xu Zhangqing smiled and instructed: "I'm going out for a trip, you guard the house well.

If bad people come, run quickly, hide in that abandoned mountain cave."

He closed the door properly, then walked toward Li Sancai's direction.

After crossing three mountain slopes in a row, he indeed saw a river.

The river water was quite clear.

Inside were many small white fish.

On the opposite bank there is a Stone House, two mu of Spirit Fields.

From this it can be seen, Li Sancai is a carefree and transcendent person.

Xu Zhangqing went around to the other side, using the Floating Bridge to cross this river.

Upon reaching the opposite shore, he hurried straight to the Fence Gate.

Why?

Because Li Sancai was already waiting at the gate!

"Senior Brother." Upon approaching, Xu Zhangqing hastily cupped his fists.

"Come in." Li Sancai opened the Fence Gate.

Immediately, the two walked side by side.

Xu Zhangqing looked at the two mu of Spirit Fields on left and right with a face full of curiosity.

One mu is the familiar Spirit Rice.

Judging by the condition, the quality absolutely reaches Peak Grade.

The spiritual plants in the other mu of Spirit Field are comparatively unfamiliar.

Like orchids, but five-colored and variegated.

Li Sancai noticed and introduced: "This is called Variegated Orchid, specially used to refine Talisman Ink, a spiritual plant exclusively supplied to the 【Water Pavilion】.

One mu yields about 1500 plants, can sell for five Middle-grade Spirit Stones."

"Five?" Xu Zhangqing was surprised.

Li Sancai continued: "Moreover, it can be harvested once every two months."

Xu Zhangqing's expression changed slightly.

Once every two months.

A year has twelve months.

Equivalent to harvesting six times a year.

If each time is five Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

That year there were a full thirty middle-grade spirit stones.

Equivalent to three thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Li Sancai seemed to see Xu Zhangqing was tempted, but his tone shifted: "But not everyone can plant."

"Ah?" Xu Zhangqing was stunned.

Li Sancai shrugged: "First, one must reach Qi Refining Late Stage.

Second, one must have connections in the Water Pavilion."

Xu Zhangqing wasn't stupid either, and immediately understood.

His own strength wasn't a problem.

But the second requirement he fundamentally couldn't meet.

The people he barely knew in the Water Pavilion, only Bai Ling'er.

Unlike Li Sancai, who had his cousin Li Lingbi backing him behind the scenes.

This one was a genius figure who at a young age was already charging at an Earth Grade Golden Core.

Afterwards, the two came before the stone house.

Here there was a pavilion.

Inside was placed a stone table.

On it hot water and tea leaves had long been prepared.

Xu Zhangqing also didn't waste words, decisively taking out eight hundred catties of second-grade spirit rice.

"Top-grade spirit rice?" Li Sancai was just casually sensing, but then stared wide-eyed.

Eight hundred catties of top-grade spirit rice produced from a second-grade spirit field, not much not little.

Actually this first cooperation, he had already prepared for the other party being unable to reach eight hundred catties.

After all, for many spirit farmers who just joined the Spirit Field Core.

Completing each quarter's task was already extremely difficult.

Then handing over eight hundred catties of second-grade spirit rice, more or less a bit hard on people.

Now, this Junior Brother Xu not only didn't disappoint him, but even far surpassed expectations.

Li Sancai in his heart was very fortunate, thanks to having helped the other party when in the Outer Perimeter.

Now even more pulling Xu Zhangqing into his cousin Li Lingbi's team.

This top-grade spirit rice ordinary people can't grow, even if myself only superior quality.

Looks like, this Junior Brother Xu in farming aspect has great talent.

Immediately, Li Sancai then said: "Junior Brother Xu, you also know the current second-grade spirit rice market ratio.

But our cooperation, obviously won't be the same as the market."

"Mm." Xu Zhangqing expressed understanding.

Li Sancai from his storage bag took out four spirit stones and handed them over: "Of course, Senior Brother won't bully you either.

Although unable to trade at the current market ratio of 1:1.5, 1.7 can still be done."

Xu Zhangqing took them in hand and looked, sure enough they were four middle-grade spirit stones.

How much?

Not much!

If adding that middle-grade spirit stone given before.

This transaction obtained five middle-grade spirit stones.

Belonging to neither a loss, but also not a profit, just winning in stability.

Now, the spirit stones in Xu Zhangqing's hand had already reached ten middle-grade spirit stones!
