Chapter 259: If I Say You Have It, Then You Have It

The Minister of Revenue's wife asked the Guogong's wife, "You calculated that so accurately?"

"I'm not sure!" In the living room, the Guogong's wife fanned herself, complaining of the heat, then pondered, "I've heard it's quite uncanny. Finding a powerful half-immortal to handle this matter does require real skill."

The Minister of Revenue's wife looked thoughtful, sat for a moment, then returned home.

Rong Juan and Jiang Xu also had reclaimed fields in the Barbarian Lands. When they arrived there and walked to the reclaimed farms, they stared at the lush green melon fields, stunned for a long while, unable to process what they saw.

"How amazing!" Rong Juan said in a daze, "In just two days, so many more melon fields have appeared. This isn't just one or two mu; good heavens, how many mu is this?"

Who planted them?

"Let's go." Jiang Xu, unable to hold back, strode toward Qin Xun and the others, asking, "Which member of the Qin family is provoking people again? We haven't even planted yet, yet here are patch after patch of melon fields growing so well. Who are they trying to provoke?"

Jiang Xu and Rong Juan approached, pulled Qin Xun aside, and asked what was happening. Qin Xun grinned and explained the advancement of the Grain-Blessing Cloud. The two then looked out at the cloud cluster raining over Qin Bi's one mu of land.

Qin Bi had snatched it again. Qin Lang and the others' fields had already been irrigated once, so Qin Bi didn't hold back.

"It has solidified." Jiang Xu noticed; the small cloud cluster had become dense, no longer in a misty state.

From afar, the tiny white cloud, palm-sized, bounced along, sprinkling rain. Rong Juan hissed; it seemed to possess the spiritual energy typical of immortal sect clouds.

"How did it suddenly advance?" Jiang Xu was puzzled.

"You know about the An Yuan Marquis Fu affair, right?" Qin Xun briefly explained, then added, "Qin Lang and Qin Bi secured it for the An Yuan Marquis's heir. Qin Lang's Grain-Blessing Cloud advanced accordingly. Who would have thought an advanced Grain-Blessing Cloud could promote crop growth? See for yourself: Qin Bi's melon fields received more rain, and one patch of spiritual melons has already ripened."

Rong Juan and Jiang Xu were green with envy. Was an advanced Grain-Blessing Cloud really that powerful?!

Rong Juan rubbed his chubby hands and proposed, "When you have time, please rain on my fields too."

Qin Xun glanced at him, "Even the people in our Qin Yan Marquis Fu can't get a turn; no one can outcompete Qin Bi. If you have the ability, go try to snatch it. Qin Bi's melon fields have been watered several times already, while our fields have only been watered once."

Since Qin Bi had created this half-immortal power, no one would truly compete with her.

A tiny Grain-Blessing Cloud, palm-sized, was already this powerful; indulging Qin Bi wouldn't hurt. Qin Xun shook his head, feeling mostly doting toward Qin Bi, and his eldest brother Qin Tang felt the same.

Even though Lady Lin was somewhat petty, she didn't find fault with Qin Bi.

Rong Juan indeed went to find Qin Bi. Qin Lang waited nearby for the Grain-Blessing Cloud. Rong Juan didn't ask Qin Lang but went straight to Qin Bi, "Young Lady of the Heir, when will you finish irrigating the melon fields?"

Qin Bi smiled and spoke plainly, "The newly advanced Grain-Blessing Cloud is full of spiritual energy. The condensed rainwater promotes crop growth. As long as it keeps raining, the crops keep growing rapidly. There's no such thing as 'finishing' the irrigation."

If no one snatched the Grain-Blessing Cloud, she would keep irrigating the fields. After harvesting one batch of melons, they could harvest another! Was there ever an end to this? The problem was that everyone competed with her for the Grain-Blessing Cloud!

Qin Bi wanted to monopolize the Grain-Blessing Cloud for irrigation, but others wouldn't allow it!

Upon hearing this, Qin Lang's hand trembled as he pointed at the palm-sized cloud raining down, "What????"

If Qin Bi hadn't said it, how would he have known the Grain-Blessing Cloud's advancement was this powerful? If Rong Juan hadn't asked, his own sister wouldn't have told anyone. Truly, she even deceived her own family.

"No, no..." Qin Lang pretended to snatch the small cloud, "Sister, how long have you been irrigating? It's my turn now. My melon fields are so dry they're smoking."

Qin Bi delayed, "I still have a tiny bit of land left to irrigate."

Qin Lang, unable to wait patiently, thought for a moment, then ran to tell his father, Qin Tan. While Qin Lang waited for the cloud here, Qin Tan used the opportunity to clear away the excess melon vines.

Soon, Qin Tan came running anxiously to wait in line. Qin Yan, not being foolish, followed shortly after to queue up and inquire what was happening. Once he learned about the Grain-Blessing Cloud's incredible power, he fell silent.

Qin Yan said nothing; he would just snatch it directly. Even his third uncle wouldn't stop him.

For the sake of eating spiritual melons, no one cared about seniority when snatching the cloud.

Unknowingly, Lady Lin also joined the crowd. No need to ask; once Qin Bi finished irrigating, everyone would rush to snatch the cloud. Qin Bi felt exasperated; once the small cloud finished irrigating, she would ignore everyone.

Lady Lin snatched the Grain-Blessing Cloud. Qin Tan and Qin Yan felt too embarrassed to compete with her. Qin Xun was surprised; good heavens, he hadn't expected Lady Lin to be more aggressive at snatching than him. Qin Xun gave Lady Lin an approving look.

The small cloud went to irrigate for Qin Xun. The melon seedlings had already covered the ground, with vines pressed down, ready to bear fruit. The small cloud worked hard, and the melons in several fields visibly grew.

If not for the need to fight over the cloud, Qin Tan would have been grinning from ear to ear.

Lin Yao was also delighted. He led his guards to patrol the melon fields. Over one mu of land was filled with spiritual melons; if someone stole even one, it would be a disaster. If not for fear of damaging the vines, the guards would each have hugged a melon and guarded it.

Eating spiritual melons aids cultivation; no one would feel at ease leaving such a large patch unguarded.

Jiang Xu and Rong Juan were dumbfounded. It seemed nothing was left for them? With just one powerful little cloud, even the Qin Yan Marquis Fu family members couldn't get a turn; they had even less chance.

Qin Bi walked along the field's edge, inspecting the melon fields to see how large the melons had grown. With sufficient rain, watermelons changed appearance constantly. One small Grain-Blessing Cloud wasn't enough!

"Young Lady of the Heir," Rong Juan rubbed his hands and tentatively asked, "I plan to go to the small space in the Demon Beast Realm to collect items and earn some spirit crystals. Could you calculate my luck for me?"

Qin Bi glanced at him, "Three pills beneficial to the body."

Jiang Xu wanted to laugh. Rong Juan was confused, "I don't have any. Young Lady of the Heir, didn't you ask the An Yuan Marquis's heir for ten teleportation arrays? Why does it become refined pills for me? My father's health has been poor lately. If I had pills, why would I need to go to the Demon Beast Realm's small space to collect items and earn spirit crystals?"

Qin Bi sized Rong Juan up, "If you don't have them, I won't ask you for them."

"I truly have no pills, not a single one," Rong Juan spread his hands, "I am merely a branch of the Rong clan."

Pills were treasures coveted by cultivators. Rong Juan, a beginner in cultivation, had no pills at all; he possessed nothing! He was extremely poor. He wanted pills too, which was why he planned to go to the Demon Beast Realm's small space!

Qin Bi continued inspecting the melon fields. Rong Juan followed, and Jiang Xu followed too.

Only then did Qin Bi say, "If I say you have them, then you have them."

Fine, Rong Juan nodded, "If I have them, I will certainly give the Young Lady of the Heir the pills. Calculate my fortune for me. My father is ill and needs pills. One low-grade pill to strengthen the physique requires twenty demon beast crystals. I must go to the Demon Beast Realm's small space to collect items."
