Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 112 - 109: Transaction with the Zhou Family (Part 2)
A superior spirit field, even a hundred acres, holds significant value for a Foundation Establishment Clan.
Unlike Spirit Stones, which are one-time, a steady flow of benefits is the stabilizing factor for a family.
"Although the Zhou Family is known for beast taming, I have also noticed that they have considerable experience in cultivating Spirit Grass and Spirit Fruit, which will prevent this superior spirit field from being wasted."
Lin Chang’an nodded with a smile. Hiring ordinary cultivators to plant Spirit Rice on a superior spirit field would be too wasteful, and only by cooperating with a well-established family like the Zhou Family can the benefits be maximized. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Moreover, he won’t have to worry much and only needs to collect Spirit Stones annually.
"A Spirit Plant Cultivator!"
Lin Chang’an placed this statement on the table, and the others were not foolish; they instantly understood the implication. Wei Buyi and Lu Qingqing immediately showed gratitude.
"In this way, we truly owe Brother Lin a favor."
Even Li Erniu was overjoyed. The Zhou Family was his own family, and as long as the deal was made, even if it wasn’t related to him, the family would still credit him.
Lin Chang’an looked at everyone with a smile, gently nodding and saying:
"Spirit Plant Cultivation is also a craft. If you wish, Yingying and Shen Fan could learn it."
Wei Yingying, Wei Buyi’s daughter, is thirteen this year.
Shen Fan, naturally Shen Lie and Lu Qingqing’s son, is also thirteen.
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, things are ever-changing, and being a loose cultivator himself without many resources, he dared not have many children.
This is unlike Erniu, who, backed by the Zhou Family, had a few more after gaining some advancements in cultivation and resources.
"Thank you, Brother Lin. My girl truly lacks the talent for alchemy."
Over the years, Wei Buyi’s thoughts had been focused on this daughter, filled with joy. He was previously worried about her future.
A Spirit Plant Cultivator is also a decent craft, and more importantly, managing high-level spirit plants, spirit fruits, and spirit flowers could all gain entry into major powers.
Dignified yet not tiring, with a decent status and position; furthermore, it doesn’t affect cultivation.
"Perfect, I can also take advantage of Brother Lin’s offer to have my rascal, and Yingying, this girl, learn a craft together."
Shen Lie was also all smiles; learning a trade is always beneficial, far better than him being a businessman, where business can go bad amid a volatile situation.
Especially advanced Spirit Plant Cultivators, they are very popular in major sects and aristocratic families.
Lin Chang’an also nodded with a smile, helping his few friends was something he could do within his capability.
After all, such a deal is highly attractive to any family.
And the Zhou Family was merely teaching a few kids some Spirit Plant Cultivation experience.
Back when he was preparing to establish his Foundation, everyone knew the difficulty and probability of establishing a Foundation with a low-grade Spirit Root.
Yet everyone privately reached out to assist him, an act he never forgot.
Being able to look out for friends while not affecting his interests, why not do so?
Additionally, his Cyan-Horned Bull also needed some of the Zhou Family’s precious resources, while he also wanted to inquire about any news of Tier Two spiritual objects through them.
"Come, let’s toast to Brother Lin, and also to the little Commandery Princess."
"May Immortal Dao prosper!"
In the private room of the Gathering Immortals Tower, everyone showed smiles.
Unknowingly, they had already experienced nearly forty years of ups and downs in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Everyone was approaching the age of sixty now.
...
Celestial Profound City was bustling.
Countless loose cultivators wanted to settle, with many Foundation Establishment cultivators, who previously avoided trouble, now regretting their decisions.
Just the hundred acres of spirit field allotted was enough to make Foundation Establishment cultivators envious.
And now, they could only return, having to pay multiple times the Spirit Stones to lease a spirit field.
Indeed, this time Celestial Profound City acquired numerous spirit fields from two major sects, aside from rewards, they were also leased out.
The difference between the two is significant; the rewarded spirit field requires only a minimal amount of Spirit Stones annually.
"The ancestor truly had foresight, to have distributed a hundred acres of spirit field; it’s enough for the family to branch out."
"We owe it to Master Lu and his magnanimity! Unfazed by trivial matters, in Celestial Profound City, treating everyone equally, even demonic cultivators."
"What demon cult, didn’t you hear the rumors outside? Li Huo Palace used female disciples as cauldrons to enhance cultivation, genuinely inheriting the Demon Dao legacy, and then there’s Divine Sword Sect..."
The legends of Master Lu spread throughout the streets, while Li Huo Palace and Divine Sword Sect have been branded with the label of the Demon Dao.
Profound Sound Pavilion and Celestial Profound City have thus become victims.
Simultaneously, some families deeply tied with Li Huo Palace had no choice but to relocate, which Master Lu did not stop.
And some wavering families, wanting the rich resources of Li Huo Palace, had to make their choice.
Things were quite clear; the four forces of Yue Kingdom had jointly allied, eventually resulting in a confrontation.
Profound Sound Pavilion seemed to have yielded many benefits, yet Celestial Profound City’s market, without Li Huo Palace, gained quite a bit of business instead.
The thriving Celestial Profound City was moving in a new direction.
...
At this moment, Lin Chang’an was in his cave abode, receiving the visiting Zhou Family patriarch.
"Mr. Lin, sorry for the impromptu visit, please forgive me."
Seeing each other again, Zhou Renmao, the middle-aged, elegant Zhou Family patriarch couldn’t help but reflect that making many friends was indeed correct.
Although he had recently exchanged another refined Beast Spirit Pill, in this exchange of favors, the Zhou Family hadn’t lost a thing.
