Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

One middle-grade spirit stone per day, seven days equals seven pieces.

For the 【Earth Surge Lotus】 that could sell for fifty middle-grade spirit stones.

It only accounted for one-seventh.

By rights, this remuneration wasn't expensive.

But Hu Man was a bit displeased.

A mere Qi Refining spirit farmer—what right did he have to demand so much remuneration?

Therefore, facing Xu Zhangqing's "opening his mouth like a lion."

He did not answer, but chose silence.

See who couldn't endure first.

Seeing the other party remain silent, Xu Zhangqing wasn't anxious either.

Anyway, he hadn't given up, so the task was still in effect.

By then, the other party would only have two choices.

One, compensate and terminate cooperation.

Two, reissue the task once.

Whether the first or the second, both would waste time and resources.

Therefore, it came down to who couldn't endure first.

Next, Xu Zhangqing had originally planned to leave the Kengdong.

But upon second thought.

Since he had come, why not go take a look at Han Su?

After all, there was a contract between the two of them.

Deliver the fifty jin of second-grade spirit rice from summer to him in advance, and then set a time for autumn earth loosening.

Immediately, Xu Zhangqing took out Han Su's Communication Talisman and tried to communicate.

But the signal was poor, and the other party couldn't receive it.

This situation indicated that the person was inside the Spiritual Vein.

Seeing this person still not leaving, Shan Fei couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "What are you still dawdling over?"

Xu Zhangqing put down the Communication Talisman and said: "I still need to find someone."

"Who?" Shan Fei pressed.

Xu Zhangqing spoke the name: "Han Su."

"Han Su?" Shan Fei had never heard this name before.

Xu Zhangqing briefly introduced: "A Formal Disciple at the Qi Refining Stage on your side."

Shan Fei frowned and walked toward the Left Side, coming to a place similar to a registration desk, and ordered a female Disciple with an Earth Spiritual Root inside: "Check if there's a Formal Disciple named Han Su."

Soon, the female Disciple with an Earth Spiritual Root nodded: "Indeed there is."

Shan Fei asked: "Where is the person?"

The female Disciple with an Earth Spiritual Root looked at the ledger: "He didn't finish his mining task today, so he's still inside the Spiritual Vein."

Xu Zhangqing stepped forward to ask: "When will he come up?"

The female Disciple with an Earth Spiritual Root spread her hands upon hearing this: "Whenever he finishes, whenever he comes up."

Anyway, Earth Spiritual Roots can endure pressure.

Sometimes staying for several hours is no problem.

Generally, those who don't finish the mining task won't come up.

Shan Fei said in a deep voice: "Non-Earth Spiritual Roots cannot enter the mine tunnels; you can only wait here."

Xu Zhangqing shook his head: "Forget it."

He didn't want to stay in such a sunless place.

He still had to go home to cook for Yellow Dog and Pearl Chicken.

Since he couldn't meet this time, there's always next time.

"Come, I'll send you up." Shan Fei called out.

Immediately, the two began returning along the original path.

……

Time came to evening.

Han Su, with a sallow complexion, and several Disciples with Earth Spiritual Roots came up from the mine tunnels.

Each one had an exhausted expression, with only numbness left in their eyes.

"Mining is too exhausting!"

"Right, earth loosening is still easier."

"But how can we Qi Refining Stage cultivators compete with Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators?"

"Han Su, didn't you sign several spirit farmers?"

"Right, share one or two with us!"

"Give me a break, this kid cooperates with several spirit farmers, but the proportions are all too low!"

"The proportion with that guy named Lin An was okay, but the result was……"

"Hahahaha!"

The voices of the surrounding people were somewhat piercing.

Han Su opened his mouth, but the words on his lips left him powerless to refute.

If only his eyesight had been a bit better, he wouldn't be working himself to death every day.

At this time, the female disciple with an Earth Spiritual Root on the other side asked: "Are you Han Su?"

"Yes, it's me." Han Su looked at the other person with some surprise, thinking in his heart that it wouldn't be someone who likes him, would it?

As a result, the female disciple with an Earth Spiritual Root said: "Someone came looking for you during the day."

"Who?" Han Su was both surprised and a bit regretful.

The female disciple with an Earth Spiritual Root recalled: "Thin and tall, wearing a bamboo hat, seems to be a spirit farmer."

"Spirit farmer?" A person instantly emerged in Han Su's mind, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Senior Brother Xu!"

That's right, summer has already ended.

Senior Brother Xu must have finished harvesting the spirit rice.

Suddenly coming to find him, it should be related to those 50 jin of second-grade spirit rice.

Although not much, at least it's the most stable one.

At this moment, those who originally mocked Han Su all revealed envious gazes.

At least they have a spirit farmer cooperating with them.

They can obtain some spirit rice every quarter.

Even if it's less, it's still better than them mining in the dark spiritual veins!

……

The next morning.

As soon as the sun came out, Xu Zhangqing was busy.

He planned to dry the straw, then make a nest for the guinea fowl.

Afterwards, the temperature would be lower day by day, and the days would be colder day by day.

They can no longer be free-range.

"Woof woof!" While he was working, the yellow dog suddenly barked.

"Hmm?" Xu Zhangqing looked to the right side and discovered someone approaching.

"Senior Brother Xu!" The newcomer waved his hand.

Xu Zhangqing knew who it was as soon as he heard the voice, and said in realization: "Han Su."

Soon, Han Su came to his front, his face full of excitement.

He stubbornly didn't sleep all night.

He rushed over from the spiritual veins before dawn.

Although there was no need to attach such importance to fifty jin of second-grade spirit rice.

But he was just happy.

Everyone said Han Su's eye for people was no good.

Even he himself thought so.

But eventually there are times when a blind cat runs into a dead mouse.

This led to the people he knew around him no longer daring to mock him.

Xu Zhangqing didn't waste words, and took out fifty jin of second-grade spirit rice from his small storage bag.

Han Su saw that it was still second-grade spirit rice, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

Then he took out the previous contract talisman and tore it to pieces in front of both of them.

Their cooperation in the summer could be considered concluded.

Xu Zhangqing stopped the work at hand, first went to the kitchen to cut half a watermelon for Han Su, then continued to move the remaining straw.

Han Su held half a watermelon in his hand, saw the situation and didn't eat it, but put it to the side, and followed along to work: "Senior Brother, let me help you."

Xu Zhangqing didn't refuse.

Two people, efficiency would be faster.

Not long after, on the empty space on the other side of the house, straw was already piled up full.

As long as it's dried for a few days, a large amount of hay can be harvested.

Han Su patted the grass scraps on his hand and asked curiously: "Senior Brother, what are you doing this for?"

Xu Zhangqing smiled and said: "I plan to make a chicken coop for the guinea fowl."

Han Su asked thoughtfully again: "Is it necessary to build an earthen nest to shelter from wind and rain?"

Xu Zhangqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "What you say is right, it is indeed necessary."

Han Su immediately patted his chest: "Junior Brother's 【Earth Guide Art】 has already reached the second layer, able to control the concentration of earth qi and change the shape of mud."

Then, the two confirmed the position.

Immediately after, Han Su operated the 【Earth Guide Art】 (Second Layer).

At a speed visible to the naked eye, he created two earthen nests on the ground.

Why two?

One is for the guinea fowl.

The other is for the yellow dog.

This thing is extremely sturdy; even if kicked with one's foot, it won't deform.

Under normal circumstances, using it for several years is absolutely no problem.

Xu Zhangqing deliberately put the yellow dog and the guinea fowl inside to try it out.

The guinea fowl's size was just right, and the internal space was very ample.

After all, it has already grown up and won't grow any larger.

But the yellow dog won't do; it's a bit small.

Moreover, it is still in its growth stage and will continue to grow.

Therefore, even if it can be accommodated now, it will definitely need to be changed later.

For Han Su, this poses no difficulty at all.

Activating the Earth Guide Art again, he expanded the Dog Kennel by one fold.

This time, not to mention one adult yellow dog, even two are no problem!
