Old Huang stood by his own Spirit Field, gazing at the rice that sparkled like jade, feeling exceptionally gratified.
This acre of Spirit Field, cultivated to Tier One, took a considerable amount of his effort and has brought him substantial rewards.
Alas, in over a year’s ti, he would have to leave the Sect, and the Spirit Field could not be passed on to his grandson.
Thinking of this, Old Huang let out a soft sigh, and his good mood diminished significantly.
"Senior Brother’s Jade Corn, another bountiful harvest."
Ji An ca over and stood beside Old Huang.
He imdiately felt the difference of a Tier One Spirit Field; the abundant Spiritual Qi mixed with the fresh scent of the Jade Corn invigorated the spirit.
"Haha, cultivating this Entry Level Spirit Field is the only thing worth praising in all these years."
"Senior Brother, you’ve cultivated so many Spirit Fields; aside from paying the Sect’s land rent and taxes, to whom do you sell the remaining Spirit Grain?"
Ji An asked. Old Huang cultivated ten acres of Spirit Field, and with his current skills, each season’s harvest was no less than 2,000 pounds.
The Talisman Bird has limited carrying capacity, able to bear up to 500 pounds of weight, and considering its own weight, it can only transport less than 400 pounds of Spirit Rice each trip.
He now has 1,600 pounds of Yellow Sprout Rice, and needs to sell at least 1,000 pounds. It’d be too troubleso to make several trips back and forth to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, and a waste of ti.
He knew that there were people within the Sect doing the business of trading Spirit Grain, and many elder Spirit Farrs would sell their harvest to such people.
Previously, his own harvest was small, and he didn’t need to deal with such traders.
In the future, the harvest will only increase, making it inevitable to build relationships with these people to facilitate sales.
"Well, many families send people to do the Spirit Rice business.
The profit of Spirit Rice is thin, but the daily trading volu is large enough; those who can ddle in this business aren’t small families. The ones I contact are from the Li Family of White Ape Mountain."
Selling to these people is also reassuring; the price is similar to selling to the Sect, just that it can’t be exchanged for Contribution Points.
However, Contribution Points are useless to now."
Perhaps due to old age, or the sense that his days in the Sect were numbered, Old Huang casually ntioned a lot but hadn’t gotten to the point.
Ji An was also too embarrassed to rush him, listening quietly, occasionally echoing back a response.
"Look at , rambling nonsense."
Regaining his focus, Old Huang chuckled and said:
"I’ve arranged with the Li Family; every third day of every three months, they will co to purchase.
If Brother Xiao’an wants to sell your Spirit Grain, I’ll inform them, and you can just stay ho that day."
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
Ji An thought that Li Changfeng belonged to the Li Clan of White Ape Mountain. He wondered if he could sell a few more Crystal Stones with the token given by the other party.
The two chatted for a while before Ji An bade farewell and left.
Old Huang watched his departing figure, a gleam appearing in his eyes.
Every morning after extracting Water Elent Essence from the Jade Water Lake, he would pass by this Junior Brother’s Spirit Field on his way back.
The fact that the opposite’s Spirit Field had been harvested couldn’t escape his eyes.
He had heard elder and higher-tier Spirit Farrs talk about reducing the maturity ti of Yellow Sprout Rice, attributing it to two factors:
First, an Entry Level Spirit Field would have this effect.
Second, the Perfection Realm of the Small Cloud Rain Technique.
He had checked, and the opposite’s Spirit Field was not Entry Level, leaving only one possibility.
"Could Junior Brother Ji possibly possess a special constitution?"
Old Huang mused internally, then let out a light sigh:
"If only Flying Tiger were half as outstanding as Brother Xiao’an, I’d laugh myself awake from dreams."
...
Jade Water Marketplace.
Wei Songnian suddenly slapped his thigh, glanced around, and lowered his voice:
"Junior Brother’s skill in making Talisman Paper has improved so quickly!"
He had just counted the Talisman Paper sent by the other party. The total amount producible from an acre of Talisman Grass doesn’t change much, but the other party sent 81 sheets of Middle Grade Talisman Paper this ti, gaining his admiration.
Thinking of many Spirit Farrs who bought Pills in ones and twos, Wei Songnian sighed.
Why is the gap between Spirit Farrs so vast? Why does the other party earn Crystal Stones so easily!
He felt a bit sour inside, just the value of these Middle Grade Talisman Papers alone equated to six Spirit Stones.
To have such inco among the Spirit Farrs in the Sect, there might not be as much as a pair of hands’ worth of Qi Refining Disciples cultivating on Spiritual Veins.
"My skills improved a bit."
Ji An showed a simple smile; his skill in making Talisman Paper hadn’t improved, it was the skill of the Spirit Farr that had improved significantly.
With good materials, the rate of producing premium products naturally rose.
"With such skills, why worry you can’t reach Foundation Establishnt in the future!"
Wei Songnian marvelled, quickly checked over the other Talisman Paper, and said:
"The Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink together total 970 Spirit Crystals."
Ji An slightly nodded, smiled and said:
"I still have so Jade Pills left from the last purchase, 15 pieces will suffice this ti, and also prepare materials for 10 bottles of Talisman Ink."
"Alright."
Wei Songnian bead with joy; this Junior Brother can earn Crystal Stones, and spends them freely, undoubtedly a great vessel for the future!
He quickly prepared the materials and Pills, then said:
"Pills cost 450 Spirit Crystals, Talisman Ink raw materials 230 Spirit Crystals, leaving a surplus of 290 Spirit Crystals. Does Junior Brother want anything else?"
Ji An shook his head:
"Not at the mont.
Next season, I’m planning to plant two acres of Talisman Grass. Senior Brother, please look out for a set of Spirit Capturing Array Discs for .
Once the Spirit Grain matures again, I’ll co to fetch it. The Spirit Crystals left over just now can serve as a deposit. What’s Senior Brother’s opinion?"
The Junior Brother still hasn’t changed, never keeps Crystal Stones in hand!
Where else can you find such a high-quality client!
Wei Songnian’s delight brimd over in his smile as he cheerily said:
"Alright, no problem."
He coughed slightly, slowly speaking:
"Spirit Capturing Arrays vary by quality into ordinary, superior, and premium types, with those made in Luofeng Valley being the best.
Ordinary Array Discs seem cheap but consu more when activating the Magic Array, and inefficiency in converting Crystal Stones into Spiritual Qi.
From my experience, if Junior Brother plans to use it long-term, I suggest directly buying the superior level."
This seems more costly in Spirit Stones initially, but it saves later on."
"Can Senior Brother tell the prices and differences among these qualities for reference?"
Spending Flower Crystal Stone didn’t concern Ji An, as long as he had it, as long as it was useful to him.
"Luofeng Valley is renowned for Arrays; their Array Discs generally have better quality.
Ordinary Spirit Capturing Array costs 22 Spirit Stones, can convert roughly 30% of the Spiritual Qi within the Spirit Stones, and supports about ten double hours of cultivation with three Spirit Stones filled.
Superior quality costs 45 Spirit Stones, converting about 35%, with five Spirit Stones filled, supporting about sixteen to seventeen double hours of cultivation.
Premium tier is beyond our reach; reputedly costs over a hundred Spirit Stones, used by great cultivators at Foundation Establishnt."
Understanding the pros and cons of the Magic Array, Ji An spoke slowly:
"Senior Brother, I surely want the superior Array Disc, but don’t have enough Crystal Stones at hand; would Senior Brother be willing to assist?"
"No problem!"
Wei Songnian heartily agreed, he privately records all his premium clients’ ways of earning Crystal Stones, and this one is among the top.
Just evaluated their inco, found the opposite would need less than a year to save enough for a premium Magic Array while not skipping on cultivation.
"Junior Brother still has 290 Spirit Crystals, let’s consider it a deposit for 3 Spirit Stones."
