14: Chapter Purchase of New Spiritual Field

With these one thousand five hundred spiritual stones, Chen Jiancang's plan to continue purchasing Spirit Fields could be implemented.

In the Xiao Yun Mountain Market, the stall area was crowded with people, gathering rogue Cultivators.

Although it was the Chen Family branch's Spiritual Vein, it still attracted countless rogue Cultivators.

Most of these rogue Cultivators were at the Early Stage of Qi Refining.

With his cultivation at the fourth layer of Qi Refining, Chen Jiancang couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority as he walked on the street.

"I still need to seize the time to plant Lueling Grass; improving my cultivation is the top priority."

Chen Jiancang's desire to plant Lueling Grass in his heart became increasingly urgent.

Passing through the stall area, he arrived at the Xiao Yun Mountain Spirit Field Management Office. Since it was his second visit, Chen Jiancang was already familiar with the process.

"Hello, I plan to purchase a Spirit Field."

Chen Jiancang took out his identity token and handed it to the staff member at the Spirit Field Management Office.

"Chen Jiancang, I know you. My name is Chen Jianyan."

Chen Jianyan took the token, glanced at Chen Jiancang with a hint of meaning, and said.

Chen Jiancang was slightly startled upon hearing this, thought carefully, and realized there was no such person among the Cultivators of the Little Cloud Mountain branch.

He politely replied, "So it's Miss Chen Jianyan, a pleasure to meet you."

There was no information about this woman in his memory.

But as they were both of the 'Jian' generation, Chen Jiancang guessed she should be a disciple of another branch.

Chen Jianyan's lips curled up, revealing a sweet smile. After carefully examining the token, she looked up and said to Chen Jiancang with a smile, "You want to buy a Spirit Field, right? We have several good Spirit Fields here now, you can pick whichever you like!"

As she spoke, Chen Jianyan led Chen Jiancang to a map.

The map was the distribution map of Xiao Yun Mountain Spirit Fields. Most locations were colored green, representing areas already leased, while only a few scattered spots were currently gray.

Chen Jianyan introduced the situation of these Spirit Fields to Chen Jiancang: "We have recently opened up a few new small Spirit Fields here. Although the area is not large, the spiritual energy is abundant, making them very suitable for planting some rare spiritual herbs."

"This Spirit Field is located between valleys, surrounded by mountains on all sides, like a natural Gathering Spirit Array, which can gather more heaven and earth spiritual energy. Its area is about six mu in size, you can consider it," Chen Jianyan introduced playfully.

As someone from the Little Cloud Mountain Spiritual Vein, Chen Jiancang naturally knew the location of this Spirit Field. It was previously covered by trees and vegetation and was only recently reclaimed by the Chen Family.

Although there was a natural Gathering Spirit Array, its gathering ability was unsatisfactory, and the Spirit Field quality was not high. It would need to be planted with qinghe rice for a few years to nourish the soil before it could become fertile land.

But at this moment, for Chen Jiancang, time was money. He didn't have extra time to nourish the soil.

In addition, he had a limited number of contribution points and couldn't afford this Spirit Field all at once.

"I have limited contribution points, please introduce other places."

"Here is a Spirit Field beside a stream, the soil is moist, which can reduce the frequency of watering. The area is only one mu."

Chen Jianyan pointed to a location on the map and said.

"Are there any Spirit Fields of about two mu?"

Chen Jiancang didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"There are no vacant Spirit Fields of about two mu for now, but there is a leased Spirit Field here that is exactly two mu, and it will be ready for harvest in another month. Once the lease expires, you can buy it."

Following the direction Chen Jianyan was pointing, Chen Jiancang was slightly startled. He was all too familiar with this location; it was right next to his own Spirit Field, the one leased by Seventeenth Uncle-Grandfather Chen Yinzhang.

"This..."

Chen Jiancang hesitated. This location was the most suitable; it could be connected with his own Spirit Field into one piece, which would be extremely convenient for both setting up arrays and managing Spiritual Plants.

But Seventeenth Uncle-Grandfather had already leased this Spirit Field for several years. Next season, he would definitely continue to lease it. If Chen Jiancang bought it now, Chen Yinzhang would have to find another Spirit Field to lease. No matter what, he would offend this Uncle-Grandfather.

Chen Jiancang hesitated slightly. He truly didn't want his decision to cause a rift in neighborly relations.

"Are there any other Spirit Fields whose leases are about to expire?" Chen Jiancang asked.

"There are no more. Within a month, there is one more Spirit Field whose lease expires, but its area is only about one mu. I don't think you would consider it," Chen Jianyan said with a smile.

She seemed to have noticed Chen Jiancang's hesitation and stood aside quietly waiting after answering.

Chen Jiancang gritted his teeth and thought: Offending an Uncle-Grandfather is not a wise move. After all, in the year since he transmigrated, Seventeenth Uncle-Grandfather had taken good care of him.

But if he missed this Spirit Field, there would be no suitable Spirit Field for him to use, and having two Spirit Fields connected together would make managing them much more convenient.

What's more, the Spirit Field Management Office has always had a rule: if a leased Spirit Field is purchased by someone, the lease cannot be renewed after it expires. Those who lease Spirit Fields have always been prepared for the possibility of their lease being terminated.

"Afterward, I'll discuss it with Seventeenth Uncle-Grandfather and compensate him for his loss with spiritual stones. Seventeenth Uncle-Grandfather shouldn't blame me, right?" Chen Jiancang mused. These two mu of Spirit Field were right next to his own Spirit Field. If they were connected, setting up a Gathering Spirit Array would also be relatively more convenient.

Having thought this through, Chen Jiancang no longer had any psychological burden.

Chen Jianyan smiled after hearing this, "In that case, you can just follow the procedure to complete the formalities."

Deducting 2000 contribution points from his token, Chen Jiancang successfully completed the formalities and registered the Spirit Field under his name.

Holding the Spirit Field contract, he walked out of the Spirit Field Management Office and let out a long breath. In his heart, he was both looking forward to the income from the new Spirit Field and calculating how to properly explain this matter to Seventeenth Uncle-Grandfather.

That Spirit Field would not be ready for harvest for another month. Chen Jiancang was not in a hurry at this time; he would wait for Seventeenth Uncle-Grandfather to finish harvesting this batch of qinghe rice first.

By then, the staff of the Spirit Field Management Office would naturally inform him about the purchase of the Spirit Field.

"Passersby, don't miss out! Newly killed First Order demonic beast Ironhide Pig, the meat is tender and delicious, selling cheap!"

"Excellent wild spiritual herbs, medicinal age over ten years, abundant spiritual power, the best choice for refining pills and medicine!"

Walking through the stall area, continuous shouts of vendors entered his ears.

Although the Xiao Yun Mountain Market was not as prosperous as the main branch Market, small Markets also had their advantages. Most of the goods sold here were used by low-level Cultivators for their cultivation.

Just like the Ironhide Pig mentioned earlier, although it was a First Order demonic beast, its intelligence was no different from ordinary mortal beasts. It was a very common type of demonic beast in the Qingya Mountain Range.

Many rogue Cultivators would form teams to hunt in the Qingya Mountain Range and sell its flesh and blood in nearby Markets. The flesh and blood of the Ironhide Pig could nourish blood energy and was considered a best-selling item in the Market.
