Chapter 481: The Little Luck Cluster of the Qin Yan Marquis Manor

The Assistant County Magistrate knew clearly that the clan must attach great importance to this rain and snow.

Otherwise, rare items like spirit vegetable seeds would not have been sent over together with ordinary vegetable seeds.

In this Cultivation World, apart from those in the Immortal Sects, there were also cultivators everywhere; only those with high Fortune and Luck values could summon weather. Summoning weather was a type of spell within the art of calling wind and rain.

Qin Tan had been a County Magistrate for so many years; he had summoned rain and snow before, but most of the time it didn't rain, and snow was even harder to come by. Therefore, the various noble families in this area had concluded that Qin Tan's spiritual power was mediocre and that he had no great abilities, so they didn't think much of him.

Today, their views changed. Good heavens, even if this snow had been summoned with the help of an Immortal Sect, it would be nothing more than this.

"What kind of spirit vegetable seeds are there?" the Assistant County Magistrate asked.

A clansman replied, "Just ordinary spirit vegetable seeds: chili peppers and Chinese cabbage."

The Assistant County Magistrate nodded and took them to find Qin Tan. Today, in the middle of winter, it finally felt like it should; large snowflakes were falling. The Assistant County Magistrate was somewhat excited. Qin Tan, along with Qin Di, Qin Lang, and Qin Bi, were still summoning snow together with the little Tuanzis.

"My lord," the Assistant County Magistrate said, holding the vegetable seeds, "the vegetable seeds have been bought. Should they be planted?"

Qin Tan said, "Plant them all."

The Assistant County Magistrate accepted the order and led his subordinates and the farmers to plant the vegetables while braving the wind and snow.

"Magistrate," a farmer said, "nothing grows when planted in winter."

An attendant also said, "My lord, planting vegetables in winter won't make them grow; it would be a waste of this lucky rain and snow. It would be better to let this rain and snow continue to fall, and when it stops, we can gather the snow and go home to plant spirit vegetables."

Speaking of this, the attendant whispered, "If we plant spirit vegetables, the benefits will be visible. Planting ordinary vegetables doesn't guarantee growth, but once the spirit vegetables grow, we can just give Magistrate Qin a few stalks."

The Assistant County Magistrate should have had such thoughts himself, but today Qin Tan had brought people from the Qin Yan Marquis Manor to summon it. Just looking at this snow, he shouldn't hold them back. Every family had farmland, but Magistrate Qin didn't have much land.

As long as the Magistrate was capable, the Assistant County Magistrate would assist with all his might.

"Listen to the Magistrate," the Assistant County Magistrate said. "Plant the seeds."

"Some need to be raised as seedlings."

"No need," the Assistant County Magistrate said. "The rain and snow won't last long. Take advantage of the Qin Yan Marquis Manor's little Luck cluster throwing out luck, and hurry to plant all the vegetable seeds. Plant the spirit vegetable seeds in places where the soil is slightly better."

The attendant immediately went to handle it. Everyone scattered seeds in the wind and snow and covered them with soil. Because the dry soil of the wasteland had been turned over once, and the soil was turned while the rain and snow were falling, the dry soil became moist. If it weren't deep winter, vegetables would definitely grow.

But this was winter, and it was dry and cold. How long had it been raining and snowing?

In a situation where there was little rain or snow throughout the winter, the whole winter was usually dry and cold, and the small wind blowing on the skin would sting. It was different when rain and snow fell; the soil became moist, and it wasn't so dry and cold anymore.

The Assistant County Magistrate didn't think vegetables would grow, but Qin Tan had the ability and had brought people from the Qin Yan Marquis Manor to summon the rain and snow. The Assistant County Magistrate was born and raised here, so he had no more words to say. Even if not a single vegetable grew, he wouldn't go against the Magistrate anymore.

This decision was simply as correct as it could be.

The Assistant County Magistrate even followed the farmers to plant vegetables, urging them, "Even if the vegetables don't grow, plant them carefully for me."

"Magistrate Qin summoned a rain and snow for us; we will definitely plant the vegetables well."

With the irrigation from the rain and snow, there was no lack of moisture in the fields. Why worry about crops not growing? The farmers rubbed their hands together and planted vegetables plot by plot in the rain and snow, one type of vegetable per plot.

As it turned out, the few little cloud clusters brought by Magistrate Qin and the people from the Qin Yan Marquis Manor were too capable.

Just after planting half a mu of land, a servant of the Assistant County Magistrate was surprised to find green and purple little sprouts on the ground. It looked like the plants had sprouted. What kind of plants were they? They sprouted just because there was rain and snow?

Leaning in to take a closer look, the servant was shocked: "The vegetable seeds have sprouted!"

"Nonsense," a guard scolded him.

"It's not nonsense." The servant ran excitedly to tell the Assistant County Magistrate.

The Assistant County Magistrate was planting vegetables himself. He turned back to look at the vegetable field that had just been planted and was simply shocked. The vegetable seeds that had just been planted had indeed sprouted, and they were all spirit vegetables—low-grade spirit vegetables.

Low-grade spirit vegetables were still spirit vegetables!

Even if they were low-grade spirit vegetables, the Immortal Sects wouldn't give them to you. Cultivators could only work hard to earn beast crystals to buy them. In the Cultivation World, eating a stalk of spirit vegetable was very luxurious. The Assistant County Magistrate couldn't even eat a few stalks a year.

He was still a cultivator; if he weren't, the clan wouldn't have spirit vegetables for him to eat either.

The Assistant County Magistrate hurriedly went to tell Qin Tan. Qin Tan already knew and was shaking with excitement. Qin Bi looked over. It didn't matter that Qin Tan was shaking; the Qin Yan Marquis Manor's little Luck cluster was coolly throwing luck at the wasteland.

"It's ruined, it's ruined..." Qin Bi said this.

"What's wrong?" Qin Lang was happy, and his heart lifted with hers.

Qin Bi, however, said very happily, "Let's discuss it."

Qin Lang set his heart at ease. Looking at Qin Bi's expression, there was no need to worry.

"Discuss what?" Qin Di asked.

"Spirit vegetables have grown in the wasteland; keep it quiet," Qin Bi said, her eyes bright. "Third He He Bo Fu, the few of us will split them equally with your County Office, so that the shameless Qin He doesn't claim it's her luck and fortune again."

Qin Tan lowered his eyes to ponder, and the Assistant County Magistrate was immediately tempted.

"My lord," the Assistant County Magistrate said, "with me here, the various noble families in the county will definitely not talk much."

Qin Tan glanced at the Assistant County Magistrate and saw that winning over people's hearts was no longer a problem; the Assistant County Magistrate would definitely follow his lead from now on. Qin Tan made a prompt decision: only their County Office would share the spirit vegetables that had grown.

As long as the various families helped, they could also share in the spirit vegetables.

Of course, Qin Bi, Qin Lang, and Qin Di would not be left out.

Having received Qin Tan's confirmation, the Assistant County Magistrate, looking excited, lifted his robes and entered the wasteland. While directing manpower to continue planting vegetables, he also had those with summoning artifacts continue to reclaim farmland.

It didn't matter if there weren't many cultivators; few farmers had spiritual roots.

The Assistant County Magistrate sent people to summon members from various families. Before long, the family disciples sent by the various families arrived.

When Qin Bi saw this, she was excited: "Third He He Bo Fu, pick one cultivator from each family to summon together. This rain and snow is falling heavily; it won't be easy to keep the spirit vegetable planting a secret. If people from various families summon together, the spirit vegetables will grow quickly. Hurry up and grow the vegetables so we can harvest them and leave."

Qin Bi spoke clearly, but Qin Tan found it hard to understand. How fast could spirit vegetables grow? But although Qin Tan was suspicious, he didn't hesitate and immediately had the Assistant County Magistrate arrange for people to summon together.

This summoning was incredibly impressive; the sprouted spirit vegetables began to grow rapidly, and they couldn't be held back even if one tried.

They looked different every few blinks of an eye. The family disciples who were summoning together were simply dumbfounded. This was too amazing; whose fortune and luck were so powerful?

"Growing vegetables at this speed." The Assistant County Magistrate was overjoyed: "They can grow to maturity today, and we can eat them."

That was exactly what Qin Bi had planned. Harvest and eat the vegetables today so that even if Qin He came to steal the credit, she wouldn't even be able to touch the edge of it. A quick battle to force a quick decision; Qin He was still in the wasteland following Qin Yan at this moment. ===== CHAPTER 482 =====
